Z pera autora veleúspěšné série Artemis Fowl přichází mimořádně vtipný, velesvižný román o drakovi, který holduje vodce, zbožňuje film Flashdance a žije samotářským životem v louisianských bažinách – i o divokém dobrodružství, které následuje, jakmile zkříží cestu s patnáctiletým výrostkem na útěku před místním zkorumpovaným konstáblem. Za dávných časů brázdil oblohu a rozezlenou lůzu pálil na uhel – nyní se v mokřadu nedaleko New Orleans schovává před výletními čluny a většinu času lenoší ve svém polohovacím křesle, z něhož vstává jen s největším sebezapřením. Kdysi velkolepý ohnivý drak nyní zapaluje nanejvýš cigarety Marlboro a navlečený v tričku s motivem filmu Flashdance popíjí vodku a hltá seriály na Netflixu ve skrytu někdejší rybářské chýše. Celá století budil lidský strach jako Wyvern, lord Arcižár z Arcižárského Drakohnízda – nyní je známý jako Vern. Nicméně přežil... na rozdíl od ostatních svého druhu. Ani všechna vodka na světě však nedokáže utopit osamělost, jež dřímá v jeho žhnoucím nitru. Vernovy slavné dny jsou dávno pryč. Anebo ne? Protřelý cajunský uličník žijící na okraji mokřadu, Everett „Petarda“ Moreau, dělá, co může, aby přežil, a přitom nezlomil srdce své matce, která je ztělesněním dobroty a na svého výtržnického synka je sama. Rozhodne se pracovat pro pochybného pašeráka drog – hned první noc se však stává svědkem toho, jak jeho nového nadřízeného zavraždí místní zkorumpovaný konstábl. Regence Hooke není jen špinavý policista, ale také naprosto ohavný člověk, kterému se náhodou zachtělo Petardovy mámy. Když se pokusí odstranit tajuplného svědka svého zločinu pomocí granátometu, Petarda unikne jisté smrti tím, že... ho odnese drak? Mokřad plodí zvláštní přátelství, a tak Vern chlapce, který by mohl vyzradit jeho tajemství, nakonec neusmaží, ale místo toho s Petardou uzavře dohodu. Z kluka se stane dračí přisluhovač – svému šéfovi bude vozit vodku a dělat mu společnost výměnnou za ochranu před Hookem. Než se nadějeme, svérázná trojice chvátá vstříc třaskavému zúčtování. Na jeho konci dračí druh buď nadobro vyhyne – anebo Vern znovu zakusí zašlou slávu.

We are in the midst of a global refugee crisis. Sixty five million people are fleeing for their lives. The choices are urgent, not just for them but for all of us. What can we possibly do to help?With compassion and clarity, David Miliband shows why we should care and how we can make a difference. He takes us from war zones in the Middle East to the heart of Europe to explain the crisis and show what can be done, not just by governments with the power to change policy but by citizens with the urge to change lives. His innovative and practical call to action shows that the crisis need not overwhelm us.Miliband says this is a fight to uphold the best of human nature in the face of rhetoric and policy that humour the worst. He defends the international order built by western leaders out of the ashes of the Second World War, but says now is the time for reform.Describing his family story as the son of refugees, and drawing revealing lessons from his life in politics, David Miliband shows that if we fail refugees then we betray our own history, values and interests. The message is simple: rescue refugees and we rescue ourselves.

We all know we should be learning and growing. But how do you make time while under pressure to perform?Too many of us suffer from 'chronic performance': we feel constant pressure to look like we know what we're doing, to always be on, to rack up success after success and have all the answers, all because we assume that greater effort leads to greater success. But this temptation to portray ourselves as infallible is affecting both our work and personal lives and is blocking our ability for true growth.Through his work with over a hundred companies, co-founder of Mindset Works Eduardo Briceno has solved this by coming up with a game-changing framework that breaks our habit of chronic performance.He's discovered that long-term success as an individual or business - personal, financial and, organisational - relies on integrating and being proficient at learning and performing.In The Performance Paradox, you will learn how to:- Unlock the power of mistakes- Integrate learning into daily habits- Move seamlessly between learning and performing- Solicit the most useful feedback- Lead teams that constantly improve and outperform their targetsGround-breaking and empowering, The Performance Paradox will break your chronic performance habit and revolutionise the way you approach growth mindset to get you on your way to thriving in both work and life.

Lyric Bishop and Kian Montgomery, both graduate students, are best friends and roommates. When Lyric needs help cracking the Sizzle Paradox for her doctoral thesis on sexual chemistry--it seems the more attractive she finds a guy, the less "sizzle" there is when they actually have sex; but why?--Kian, who never has trouble in the bedroom, offers to tutor her on dating tactics. Lyric, being a self-proclaimed awkward potato, accepts the help she desperately needs. But once the two progress with their "tutoring sessions," they find that the solution to the Sizzle Paradox might actually be having sex with each other. Which is a problem, because they're best friends and absolutely, irrefutably nothing else... Right?

Nahlédněte do světa draků tak, jak ho určitě neznáte… V louisianských bažinách se zabydlel samotářský drak Vern, dříve známý jako Wyvern, lord Arcižár z Arcižárského Drakohnízda. Tyhle časy jsou ale dávno pryč. Samotu zapíjí vodkou, dlouhé chvíle krátí sledováním seriálů na Netflixu a do toho pálí jednu cigaretu za druhou. Asi by ho při vší té sebelítosti nad svým zpackaným osudem ani nenapadlo, že zachrání krk protřelému uličníkovi Petardovi. Ten se vydá na scestí, když začne pracovat pro pašeráka drog a hned první den v nové šichtě se stane svědkem vraždy. Ani Petarda by asi nečekal, že ho před jistou smrtí zachrání… drak?! A tím to všechno teprve začíná. Zaposlouchejte se do svižného a zábavného vyprávění o osudu neobvyklé trojice: mladého výrostka, samotou otráveného draka a špinavého policisty, pro kterého žádný čin není dostatečně ohavný. Ve hře je toho dost. Když to dobře dopadne, z draka bude hrdina, který opráší svou zašlou čest a slávu. Anebo taky draci nadobro vyhynou… Vtipné, originální a oddechové fantasy pro dospělé v podání Pavla Rímského.

From the moment we are born, our cells begin to age. But aging does not have to mean decline. World-renowned surgeon Dr. Steven Gundry has been treating mature patients for most of his career. He knows that everyone thinks they want to live forever, until they hit middle age and witness the suffering of their parents and even their peers. So how do we solve the paradox of wanting to live to a ripe old age—but enjoy the benefits of youth? This groundbreaking book holds the answer. Working with thousands of patients, Dr. Gundry has discovered that the “diseases of aging” we most fear are not simply a function of age; rather, they are a byproduct of the way we have lived over the decades. In The Longevity Paradox, he maps out a new approach to aging...

Every significant choice, every important decision we make, is determined by our perception of time. This is the most influential force in our lives, yet we are virtually unaware of it. In this fascinating book, the award-winning past president of the American Psychological Association, Philip Zimbardo, and his co-author, John Boyd, show how: the way you perceive time is as unique as your fingerprints; these individual time perspectives shape your life, and the world around you; you can change the way you perceive time, so you get the most out of every minute; and, if you don't, the power of time in the modern world is so immense that it will take its toll on you. "The Time Paradox" is a highly readable, stimulating look at a subject that absorbs us all.

Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, The Sound and the Fury explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it. What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'Born in 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi, William Faulkner was the son of a family proud of their prominent role in the history of the south.

One of Cosmopolitan's Best Romance Novels EverTurns out that reading nothing but true crime isn't exactly conducive to modern dating--and one woman is going to have to learn how to give love a chance when she's used to suspecting the worst.PhD candidate Phoebe Walsh has always been obsessed with true crime. She's even analyzing the genre in her dissertation--if she can manage to finish writing it. It's hard to find the time while she spends the summer in Florida, cleaning out her childhood home, dealing with her obnoxiously good-natured younger brother, and grappling with the complicated feelings of mourning a father she hadn't had a relationship with for years.It doesn't help that she's low-key convinced that her new neighbor, Sam Dennings, is a serial killer (he may dress business casual by day, but at night he's clearly up to something). It's not long before Phoebe realizes that Sam might be something much scarier--a genuinely nice guy who can pierce her armor to reach her vulnerable heart.

Soon to be a major TV seriesThe Sunday Times bestsellerShortlisted for the Women’s Prize for FictionLonglisted for the Booker Prize‘It is a book not read, but lived’ Telegraph‘Her Cromwell novels are, for my money, the greatest English novels of this century’ ObserverThe bestselling sequel to Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, the stunning conclusion to Hilary Mantel’s Man Booker Prize-winning Wolf Hall trilogy.‘If you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?’England, May 1536. Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves? What will you do, the Spanish ambassador asks Cromwell, when the king turns on you, as sooner or later he turns on everyone close to him?With The Mirror and the Light, Hilary Mantel brings to a triumphant close the trilogy she began with Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies.

The phenomenal #1 Chinese bestseller, with over 3 million copies sold. This is a searing exploration of what makes a hero: a literary masterpiece, available in the English language for the very first time.The boy grows up in a small village in south China listening to stories about the Colonel: some say he was a legendary army doctor during the war, some say he was a traitor to the Party, still others say he is a wicked sex machine. The stories are bawdy and mesmerizing, always larger than life.Yet in reality, the Colonel is just a middle-aged man who loves his cat. And why on earth does everyone call him 'the Eunuch'?From these disparate sources, the boy tries to piece together who the Colonel really is, just as he himself grows up in a rapidly changing China. It is not until many years later, when the boy also becomes a middle-aged man, that he would look back and finally solve the puzzle.The Colonel and the Eunuch is Mai Jia's first new novel in eight years and his most ambitious work to date. An exciting departure from spy thrillers, this is a coming-of-age story, a family saga, as well as a searing exploration of what makes a hero. The Colonel is Mai Jia's singular creation: an almost mythic figure shrouded in the tragedy of war and history, whose story will move even the most stone-hearted to tears.

A complex, intense American novel of family from the winner of the Nobel Prize for LiteratureWith an introduction by Richard HughesEver since the first furore was created on its publication in 1929, The Sound and the Fury has been considered one of the key novels of this century. Depicting the gradual disintegration of the Compson family through four fractured narratives, the novel explores intense, passionate family relationships where there is no love, only self-centredness. At its heart, this is a novel about lovelessness - 'only an idiot has no grief; only a fool would forget it.What else is there in this world sharp enough to stick to your guts?'
