      Zakázaná láska mezi řeckými bohy v podání královny komiksových romantasy. Když Persefona opustila svět smrtelníků a vydala se na Olymp, byla připravena začít nový život. Rychle však objevila temné stránky zdánlivě okouzlující říše bohů, ve které se snaží prosadit — od pomluv ohrožujících její pověst až po namyšleného Apollóna. V pohodě není ani Hádes, který vzdoruje svým citům k mladé bohyni jara a zároveň se snaží udržet si svou osamělou vládu nad podsvětím. A co teprve, když se do celé záležitosti vloží Héra, Afrodita a žárlivé nymfy… Stylové, humorné i lehce necudné převyprávění řeckých mýtů spojuje svět bohů s realitou mobilů, bulváru či korporací, ale také s tématem toxických vztahů nebo manipulace. Série se stala celosvětovým bestsellerem a jedním z největších komiksových fenoménů dneška.

      **THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "The Minimalists show you how to disconnect from our conditioned material state and reconnect to our true essence: love people and use things. This is not a book about how to live with less, but about how to live more deeply and more fully." —Jay Shetty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Like a Monk AS SEEN ON THE NETFLIX DOCUMENTARIES MINIMALISM & LESS IS NOW How might your life be better with less? Imagine a life with less: less stuff, less clutter, less stress and debt and discontent—a life with fewer distractions. Now, imagine a life with more: more time, more meaningful relationships, more growth and contribution and contentment—a life of passion, unencumbered by the trappings of the chaotic world around you. What you’re imagining is an intentional life. And to get there, you’ll have to let go of some clutter that’s in the way. In Love People, Use Things, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus move past simple decluttering to show how minimalism makes room to reevaluate and heal the seven essential relationships in our lives: stuff, truth, self, money, values, creativity, and people. They use their own experiences—and those of the people they have met along the minimalist journey—to provide a template for how to live a fuller, more meaningful life. Because once you have less, you can make room for the right kind of more.

    • When Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder. Much less a murder commited by three teenagers covered with odd markings. This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons--and keeping the odd werewolves and vampires in line. It's also her first meeting with gorgeous, golden-haired Jace. Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. But why would demons be interested in an ordinary mundane like Clary? And how did she suddenly get the Sight? The Shadowhunters would like to know....

A ship bearing a golden fleece. And wily Odysseus, on his epic voyage home.There is danger for a solitary woman in this world, and Circe's independence draws the wrath of men and gods alike. To protect what she holds dear, Circe must decide whether she belongs with the deities she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love.Breathing life into the ancient world, Madeline Miller weaves an intoxicating tale of gods and heroes, magic and monsters, survival and transformation.

      Dlouho předtím, než se doktor Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly představil v úspěšném románu Patricka Taylora Doktore, fofrem, jde o život! (česky nakladatelství Leda, 2009), rozveseloval čtenáře v humoristických sloupcích kanadského časopisu pro lékaře. S těmito prapůvodními příhodami obávaného doktora oplývajícího drsně laskavým humorem uprostřed poněkud výstředních obyvatel severoirské vesničky Ballybucklebo se nyní mohou seznámit i čeští čtenáři. Poznáme nelehké začátky mladého nezkušeného lékaře na tradičním venkově v době po válce, kdy doktor O’Reilly opouští britské válečné námořnictvo a zakládá vlastní praxi. Tento bývalý přeborník v boxu a klasický vzdělanec, občasný pytlák, prchlivý hromotluk, který si nenechá nic líbit, ale i skrytý lidumil a hrdý milovník všeho irského, hlavně piva a whisky, zápasí na pozadí milé venkovské scenérie s nepřízní osudu a protivenstvím nemocí. Doktor O’Reilly se však nevzdává. Ať už objevuje nové možnosti medicíny, snaží se přelstít chronické hypochondry a simulanty, bojuje s nabubřenými zbohatlíky nebo láskyplně léčí dětské dušičky, přičemž se hašteří s paličatým kolegou se zkostnatělými názory, dělá vše jen a jen pro dobro svých svěřenců. Občas si zajde na jedno do krčmy U Kačeny, na dostihy chrtů nebo podnikne dobrodružný výlet na moře, přitom ale nezapomíná, že pracovní doba lékaře nikdy nekončí.

      Román Stephanie Cliffordové, novinářky New York Times, nám s fascinujícími detaily umožňuje nahlédnout do „zlaté klece” mladých newyorských finančníků a bankovních makléřů, kteří se díky kapitálu svých rodičů, elitním školám a konexím vezou na vlně spekulativních báječných zisků – v době, kdy jen škarohlídi rozpoznávají příznaky krize, jež zanedlouho zasáhne celou Ameriku. Hrdinka Evelína pochází ze skromnějších poměrů, ale díky své ambiciózní matce absolvovala elitní školu a nyní využije všech prostředků, aby pronikla do oslnivého života, který dosud sledovala jenom zpovzdálí. Řečeno s Hemingwayem je oslněna romantickou bázní ze superbohatých, a tak napodobuje snobská tekutá pravidla, slangové výrazy a manýry „aristokratických starých peněz”. Jenomže kam až dosahuje magická hypnotizující moc muzikálových příběhů? Evelína se musí v mnohém zapřít – co se jí ale ukáže, jestli projde zrcadlem a ohlédne se?

      To save her mother’s life, Clary must travel to the City of Glass, the ancestral home of the Shadowhunters — never mind that entering the city without permission is against the Law, and breaking the Law could mean death. To make things worse, she learns that Jace does not want her there, and her best friend, Simon, has been thrown in prison by the Shadowhunters, who are deeply suspicious of a vampire who can withstand sunlight. As Clary uncovers more about her family’s past, she finds an ally in mysterious Shadowhunter Sebastian. With Valentine mustering the full force of his power to destroy all Shadowhunters forever, their only chance to defeat him is to fight alongside their eternal enemies. But can Downworlders and Shadowhunters put aside their hatred to work together? While Jace realizes exactly how much he’s willing to risk for Clary, can she harness her newfound powers to help save the Glass City — whatever the cost? Love is a mortal sin and the secrets of the past prove deadly as Clary and Jace face down Valentine in the final installment of the New York Times bestselling The Mortal Instruments.
