Meri Balog – Zavođenje anđela
Kasandra Belmont, ledi Padžet, više nije imala šta da igubi. Optužena da je ubila svog muža, na ivici egzistencije, odlučila je da zaigra na poslednju kartu – prodaće svoju zanosnu lepotu bogatom plemiću i postaće njegova ljubavnica. Tako će rešiti i svoje probleme, i probleme onih koji su od nje zavisili. Stiven Hakstabl, grof od Mertona bio je najpoželjniji mladoženja sezone, mladić anđeoskog lika i sa velikim bogatstvom – upravo ono što je Kasandra tražila.
Iako je skandalozna ledi Padžet već pri prvom susretu najavila svoje namere, nije uspela da zavara mladog grofa. Nakon jedne strasne noći Stiven je shvatio da ona nije žena kakvom se predstavlja, već da u njoj postoji puno ljubavi i dobrote koju je poželeo da zauvek zadrži. Pravila zavođenja ne postoje, pa će se u vihoru strasti izgubiti oboje, zaboravljajući ko je koga zaveo…
Merijen Vilijamson – Čudesno doba
Potreba za promenom koja dolazi s godinama – emocionalni pritisak da iz jedne faze svog života pređemo u drugu – fenomen je ljudske vrste, ne samo muški i ne samo ženski. Suštinski ne mnogo drugačije od načina na koji nas pubertet odvaja od detinjstva i odraslog doba. U našem životu jednostavno dođe vreme kad jedan deo nas umire, a nešto novo se rađa. Cilj knjige Čudesno doba – Merijen Vilijamson, autorke bestselera i motivacionog govornika, jeste da psihološki i duhovno preformuliše taj prelazni period. Preformuliše tako da nas on odvede ka predivnom osećaju radosti i buđenja.
Najveća moć da promenimo svoj život leži u našoj sposobnosti da ga ponovo osmislimo. Ono što smo nazvali „srednjim dobom”, ne mora se posmatrati kao prekretnica. Prekretnica koja vodi ka smrti. To doba može da se sagleda kao čarobna prekretnica ka životu kakav nismo poznavali. To će se desiti samo ako dopustimo sebi da slobodno maštamo. Isto tako moramo da usvojimo način razmišljanja drugačiji od uobičajenog, ukalupljenog u drevna nametnuta nam načela. Moramo da se prepustimo razmišljanju koje nas vodi ka novim arhetipskim slikama čoveka na pragu 45. ili 50. Ono što smo naučili do tog doba, kako iz svojih neuspeha, tako i iz uspeha, nateralo nas je da se priklonimo skromnosti i vrlini.
Kad smo bili mladi, imali smo snage, ali nismo znali šta bismo s njom. Danas možda imamo manje snage, ali daleko dublje razumemo svrhu svakog daha života u nama. I sada, napokon, treba da ispunimo svoju sudbinu – ne sudbinu života na izmaku, već sudbinu života koji konačno istinski proživljavamo. Srednje doba nije doba krize, već preporoda. Još nije vreme da se pomirite sa smrću; vreme je da prihvatite svoj život i da ga napokon istinski proživite, onako kako vi – samo vi – u dubini duše znate da treba.

Merijen Vilijamson – Suzama do trijumfa
Međunarodno priznati učitelj, govornik i najprodavaniji autor Njujork tajmsa s knjigom Povratak u ljubav smatra da je želja da izbegnemo bol zapravo štetna po nas, da zbog nje gubimo dodir sa svojim najdubljim osećanjima i da nas sprečava da dostignemo istinsko isceljenje i duhovnu transcendenciju.
Merijen Vilijamson je najprodavaniji autor, svetski priznati učitelj i jedan od najznačajnijih duhovnih glasova našeg vremena. U knjizi Suzama do trijumfa, ona smatra da mi – i kao kultura i kao pojedinci – imamo običaj da izbegavamo da se suočavamo s bolom. Na taj način zanemarujemo duhovni deo isceljivanja.
Umesto da dozvolimo sebi da prihvatimo svoje patnje i tuge, mi ih gušimo, lečimo, odbacujemo ili na neki drugi način preusmeravamo sebi pažnju tako da nikada ne moramo da se suočimo s njima. Odbijajući da priznamo svoju nesreću, zapravo je produžavamo, uskraćujemo sebi priliku za duboku mudrost – i tako ograničavamo svoj lični razvoj i priliku za prosvetljenje. Paralisani poricanjem stvarnosti, ostajemo u procepu. Čitave industrije profitiraju od te naše nepokretnosti i dok se one bogate, mi smo duhovno sve siromašniji.
Kao što Merijen jasno govori, pravo isceljenje i transcendencija mogu da uslede samo kada se najzad suočimo sa svojim bolom i izborimo se sa onim čemu on želi da nas nauči. Napisana s toplom saosećajnošću i dubokom mudrošću, knjiga Suzama do trijumfa nudi nam značajan napredak kroz bol, do dublje svesti o svojim osećanjima, svom životu i o onome što zaista jesmo.
„Najmudrije pitanje kada smo jako tužni nije: ’Kako da odmah ugušim ili ublažim ovaj bol?’ Najmudrije pitanje glasi: ’Šta znači ovaj bol? Šta mi on otkriva? Šta me poziva da shvatim?’“ – Merijen Vilijamson, citat iz knjige Suzama do trijumfa
„Ona nastavlja da inspiriše.“ – Parejd
Meša Selimović – DERVIŠ I SMRT
Ova knjiga, govori o traženju sreće, kaže nam autor u posveti, pre početka. A početak je pesimističan: gorki stihovi iz Kur-ana koji uokviruju delo govore da je svaki čovek uvek na gubitku. Derviš, šejh Ahmed Nurudin, narator i subjekt, gotovo lirski, sreću nije našao. Suočen sa smrću, traga za smislom svog postojanja, svodi račune sa samim sobom, pravi rezime jedne napete duhovne borbe. Piše potresnu ispovest, opisuje grozničave napore svoje volje, suočene sa besmislom života na zemlji, neredom i nepravdom, dok pokušava da očuva svoje ljudsko dostojanstvo. Tako bi se, u par rečenica, mogla odrediti glavna tema Selimovićevog remek-dela. Međutim, tema ima nekoliko, razvijaju se paralelno u jedinstvenom kompozicionom i idejnom sklopu…
Srpska književna scena može se pohvaliti brojnim piscima izuzetnog dara, ali malo je onih čije stvaralaštvo dotiče čitaoca kao Selimovićevo – toplina i neposrednost njegovih junaka i čistota osećanja koja izviru sa stranica ovih dela, ispričanih takvom jednostavnošću kakvu samo vrhunski majstor može da postigne, diraju pravo u dušu i zauvek tu ostaju. „Derviš i smrt“, „Tvrđava“ pravi su biseri ovog velikana.
Meša Selimović je bio jugoslovenski pisac, jedan od najznačajnijih u novijoj istoriji. Svoja dela napisao je u drugoj polovini 20. veka. Iako je imao muslimansko poreklo sebe je smatrao srpski piscem. Rođen u istaknutoj bosanskoj porodici 26. aprila 1910. godine u Tuzli. U svom rodnom mestu je završio osnovnu i srednju školu. Preminuo je u Beogradu 11. jula 1982. godine. Neka od njegovih najznačajnijih i najpoznatijih dela su: roman “Derviš i smrt“, objavljen 1966. godine, roman “Tvrđava”, kao i autobiografija “Sjećanja”.

MICHAEL CRICHTON – FIVE PATIENTS
ER has become the most succesful television series in the world since CHARLIE'S ANGELS. Michael Crichton created the series from his own experiences as a medical doctor in the emergency rooms, operating rooms and wards of Massachusetts General Hospital. FIVE PATIENTS is Michael Crichton's true account of the real life dramas so vividly portrayed in ER. A construction worker is seriously injured in a scaffold collapse: a middle-aged despatcher is brought in suffering from a fever that has reduced him to a delirious wreck; a young man nearly severs his hand in an accident; an airline traveller suffers chest pains; a mother of three is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease.
MICHAEL ENNIS – THE MALICE OF FORTUNE
Welcome to the Devil’s house.
A nest of vipers dwells within.
And a trail of blood leads to the Borgia Palace ...

Through a labyrinth of ancient superstition and erotic obsession they discover an evil and terrible secret – one that still lies buried in the lines of Machiavelli’s greatest work, The Prince.
MICHAEL FOLEY – EMBRACING THE ORDINARY
It has always been difficult to appreciate everyday life, often devalued as dreary, banal and burdensome, and never more so than in a culture besotted with fantasy, celebrity and glamour. Yet many writers, artists, film-makers and photographers have celebrated the ordinary life around them, and many philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists and neuroscientists have offered insights into the difficulties and rewards of paying attention to the here and now. With characteristic wit and earthiness, Michael Foley - author of the bestselling The Age of Absurdity- draws on the work of these artists and thinkers, and encourages us to delight in the complexities of everyday psychopathology. With astute observation, Foley brings fresh insights to such things as the banality of everyday speech, the madness and weirdness of snobbery, love and sex, and the strangeness of everyday objects and the everyday environment, such as the office. It is all more fascinating, comical and mysterious than you think.
Michael Grant – Fear
It's been one year since all the adults disappeared. Gone.
Despite the hunger and the lies, even despite the plague, the kids of Perdido Beach are determined to survive. Creeping into the tenuous new world they've built, though, is perhaps the worst incarnation yet of the enemy known as the Darkness: fear.
Within the FAYZ, life breaks down while the Darkness takes over, literally—turning the dome-world of the FAYZ entirely black. In darkness, the worst fears of all emerge, and the cruelest of intentions are carried out. But even in their darkest moments, the inhabitants of the FAYZ maintain a will to survive and a desire to take care of the others in their ravaged band that endures, no matter what the cost.
Fear, Michael Grant's fifth book in the bestselling dystopian Gone series, will thrill readers . . . even as it terrifies them.
MICHAEL GRANT – HUNGER
Welcome back to the FAYZ! This is Book 2 in the series that Stephen King calls a "driving, torrential narrative."
An uneasy calm has settled over Perdido Beach. But soon, fear explodes into desperation as food supplies dwindle and starvation sets in.
More and more kids are developing strange powers and, just as frighteningly, so are the animals in the FAYZ: talking coyotes, swimming bats and deadly worms with razor-sharp teeth are just the beginning.
For Sam Temple the strain of leadership is beginning to show and he's got more than just dwindling rations and in-fighting to worry about – Caine is back with the psychotic whiphand, Drake, by his side.
And deep in the ground, the biggest danger of all is getting hungry . . .
The GONE series is Lord of the Flies for the 21st century. In turns breathtaking, harrowing, and utterly terrifying. Its complex characters and moral dilemmas will delight fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Maze Runner. This is dystopian fiction at its best.
MICHAEL GRANT – LIGHT
The sixth book in the New York Times bestselling Gone series by Michael Grant is another masterful, arresting depiction of life in the FAYZ.

She yearns to conquer her nemesis, Little Pete, and then bend the entire world to her warped will. As long-standing enemies become allies, secrets are revealed and unexpected sacrifices are made. Will their attempts to save themselves and one another matter in the end, or will the kids of Perdido Beach perish in this final power struggle?
