Description: Glamorama is a satirical mass-murder opus more ambitious than Bret Easton Ellis's 1990 American Psycho. It starts as a spritz-of-consciousness romp about kid-club entrepreneur Victor Ward, "the It boy of the moment," an actor-model up for Flatliners II. Ellis has perfect pitch for glam-speak, and he gives nightlife the fizz, pace, and shimmer it lacks in drab reality. Anyone could cite the right celeb names and tunes, but like a rock-polishing machine, his prose gives literary sheen to fame-chasing air-kissers. He's coldly funny: when Victor's girl tries to argue him out of a breakup, she angrily snorts six bumps of coke, stops, mutters, "Wrong vial," snorts four corrective doses from whatever she has in her other fist, then objects to a rival at the party wearing the same dress she's wearing.

Description: Bill Bryson has been an enormously popular author both for his travel books and for his books on the English language. Now, this beloved comic genius turns his attention to science. Although he doesn't know anything about the subject (at first), he is eager to learn, and takes information that he gets from the world's leading experts and explains it to us in a way that makes it exciting and relevant. Even the most pointy-headed, obscure scientist succumbs to the affable Bryson's good nature, and reveals how he or she figures things out. Showing us how scientists get from observations to ideas and theories is Bryson's aim, and he succeeds brilliantly. It is an adventure of the mind, as exciting as any of Bryson's terrestrial journeys.

Description: Arto Paasilinna kittlar till många skratt med sina varma, vanvettigt humoristiska och på samma gång absurda berättelser.
Gasen i botten, insisterar det gamla lantmäterirådet Taaveti Rytkönen som råkat hamna i baksätet på en taxi. Det blir början till en strapatsrik färd. Den forne pansarsoldaten Rytkönens minne är inte det bästa men kampviljan är det inget fel på - om han bara kunde komma ihåg vad han heter, var han bor och varför hans plånbok är full av pengar.

Description: Everything in Elizabeth Egan's life has its place, from the espresso cups in her gleaming kitchen to the swatches and paint pots of her interior-design business. Order and precision keep life under control, and keep Elizabeth's heart safe from the pain and hurt she has suffered in the past. Being a reluctant mother to her six-year-old nephew while trying to keep her design business on track is a full-time job for Elizabeth, and one that leaves little room for error, or fun. Until one day, when Ivan unexpectedly comes into their lives. The mysterious Ivan is carefree, spontaneous, and always looking for adventure: everything that Elizabeth is not. Yet just when Elizabeth is starting to trust him, it turns out that Ivan isn't at all who she thought he was.
Playful and at times intensely moving, this is a novel about how seeing isn't always believing. Full of Cecelia Ahern's trademark warmth and poignancy, If You Could See Me Now is a story of enormous hear, and just a little bit of magic.

Description: "Hon stod i skeppets för och såg ut över det upprörda havet. Hon var på väg bort, bakom henne fanns allt det som hon en gång hållit av, framför henne fanns bara ovisshet. Och inne i hennes kropp växte ett barn för vilket hon bara kunde känna hat och ovisshet." Aurora Eken hade fått allt hon kunde önska sig. En redbar make och ett gott liv på gården Hästnäs. Som genom ett under hade hennes familj skonats från Digerdöden som nio år tidigare skördat så många liv i Visby. På hennes gård lever också den unga och föräldralösa pigan Elin Persdotter, som efter pestens härjningar funnit en fristad hos Aurora.
När Gotland invaderas av den danska armén delas gotlänningarna i två fientliga läger. På Hästnäs blir livet aldrig mer detsamma och de båda kvinnorna tvingas ut i världen mot ett okänt öde. Ödets hav är en spännande och inträngande berättelse om livet på Gotland under 1300-talet, om livets oförutsägbarhet, om civilkurage och mod och kärlekens helande kraft.

Description: Čtenáři knih J. R. Tolkiena tvoří mnohamilionové celosvětové sdružení obdivovatelů. Síla prožitku z četby příběhů tohoto autora je spojuje do spikleneckého vzájemného porozumění. Román Hobit je prvním z knih, v nichž Tolkien stvořil fantazijní svět elfů, trpaslíků, skřetů, zlobrů, čarodějů, vlků vrrků, pavouků, draků a také hobitů - malých tvorů, podobných lidem. Hrdina románu, Bilbo Pytlík, je vytažen ze své pohodlné hobití nory a vržen do víru desítek neuvěřitelných dobrodružství, jež prožije s trpaslíky a čarodějem Gandalfem při hledání ztraceného pokladu. Cestou náhodou najde kouzelný prsten, ten, o kterém také vypráví následující trilogie Pán prstenů. Náš záznam je četbou této světoznámé knihy. Interpret Jan Vondráček zde předvedl fantastické kouzlo zvukových převleků, kdy každou osobnost obdařil jiným hlasovým výrazem. Celkový poslech je pak tak dramatický a vzrušující, že snad převýší četbu, umocněn ještě písněmi a hudbou Martina Kratochvíla. Začátek kultovní ságy konečně na CD!

Description: Welcome to Blackwood Farm: soaring white columns, spacious drawing rooms, sun-drenched gardens, and a dark strip of the dense Sugar Devil Swamp. This is the world of Quinn Blackwood, a brilliant young man haunted since birth by a mysterious doppelganger, a spirit known as Goblin, a spirit from a dream world that Quinn can't escape. When Quinn is made a vampire, his doppelganger becomes even more vampiric and terrifying than Quinn himself. As the novel moves backward and forward in time, from Quinn's boyhood on Blackwood Farm to present-day New Orleans, from ancient Athens to 19th-century Naples, Quinn seeks out the legendary Vampire Lestat in the hope of freeing himself from the specter that draws him inexorably back to Sugar Devil Swamp and the explosive secrets it holds.
A story of youth and promise, of loss and the search for love, of secrets and destiny, Blackwood Farm is Anne Rice at her mesmerizing best.
