The History of the Panzerjager - Thomas Anderson

The German Panzerjäger, or Panzerjägertruppe, was one of the most innovative fighting arms of World War II and its story has never properly been told.Many books have focused on an element of the story – the Hetzer, Jagdpanzer, Jagdpanther – but this is the first time that the whole story of the development and organization of Nazi Germany''s anti-tank force will have been covered, from its earliest origins in World War I, through its development in the interwar period, and its baptism of fire in the early days of World War II.This is the first of two volumes that will trace the story through the glory years of Blitzkrieg and the improvements that were made when Soviet tanks were first encountered, leading to new weapons, tactics and organization. It is packed with previously unpublished wartime photographs, combat reports, and detailed charts and statistics to give an unparalleled account of this unique arm of the Wehrmacht.

Magické střípky - Andrzej Sapkowski

I když se Andrzej Sapkowski proslavil svým geraltovským cyklem, rozhodně se neomezuje pouze na tohoto hrdinu. Tato kniha jej představuje jako autora studie o nejznámější a nejslavnější středověké legendě o králi Artušovi a rytířích Kulatého stolu, v níž se mu úspěšně daří bořit mnohé zažité stereotypy. Na tuto studii mnohé navazuje Sapkowského osobité zpracování části artušovského mýtu v povídce Maladie. Příznivci hororů se mohou začíst do jeho romantických textů Tandaradei!, Muzikanti či Příhoda v Mischief Creeku. Výsledkem autorovy fascinace Carrolovou Alenkou v krajině divů (a kočkami) je povídka Zlaté odpoledne. A na závěr to asi nejlepší, povídka V kráteru po bombě, reflexe možného vývoje naší části Evropy po roce 1989. V této povídce, jakož i prakticky ve všem, co Sapkowski kdy napsal, se zračí autorův bytostný odpor k fanatismu a nesnášenlivosti všeho druhu.

Audiokniha od autora: Andrzej Sapkowski, čte: Martin Finger. Délka nahrávky: 9 hodin, 22 minut. Než se stal legendou, byl jen mladým zaklínačem hledajícím svou cestu. Toto je příběh o tom, jak vznikají legendy – a jaká je cena za její stvoření. Než se stal Bílým vlkem a Řezníkem z Blavikenu, byl Geralt z Rivie pouhým čerstvým absolventem Kaer Morhen, který vstoupil do světa, jenž jeho druhu nerozumí ani ho nevítá. A když se naivní hrdinský čin ošklivě zvrtne, Geralta zachrání před oprátkou jen Preston Holt, zkušený zaklínač s pohřbenou minulostí a vlastními plány. Pod Holtovým vedením začíná Geralt poznávat, co to skutečně znamená kráčet po stezce – chránit svět, který se ho bojí, a přežít v něm. Když se však hranice mezi dobrem a zlem začíná stírat, Geralt se musí rozhodnout, zda se stane monstrem, které v něm všichni vidí, nebo někým úplně jiným. Příběh pokračuje. Příběh nikdy nekončí.

Narrenturm - Andrzej Sapkowski - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Barvité postavy, intriky, špionáž, magie, krásné ženy a drsní muži. Co chtít víc? První díl z Husitské trilogie je skvělou směsí rytířské romance, fantasy románu a napětí, okořeněné velkou dávkou humoru od mistra polské fantasy. Píše se rok 1425, Čechami zmítá husitská revoluce a ve Slezsku se sbírá katolické vojsko ke křížové výpravě. Geralt z Rivie brousí své meče... tedy pardon, to je z předchozí knihy. Mladý, naivní a věčně zamilovaný medik a čaroděj-amatér Reinmar z Bělavy začíná své neuvěřitelné dobrodružství v náručí krásné Adély von Sterza. Historický fantasy román Narrenturm, který je pro svou hravost, překvapivé zvraty, historickou věrnost a všudypřítomný sžíravý humor považován za možná to nejlepší, co kdy Sapkowski napsal. S dalšími díly, Boží bojovníci a Lux Perpetua, tvoří tzv. Husitskou trilogii, známou i jako Sága o Reinmarovi z Bělavy.

Zaklínač II: Meč osudu - Andrzej Sapkowski - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Zaklínač Geralt z Rivie putuje světem, aby bojoval proti nestvůrám, temným bytostem, upírům a vlkodlakům a chránil obyčejné lidi. Je obdařen vlastnostmi, o nichž se běžným smrtelníkům ani nesní. Dráha zaklínače však není volbou, ale osudem. A výjimečné dovednosti bývají draze vykoupeny vyhnanstvím na okraji vrtošivé lidské společnosti. Život Zaklínače je proto někdy tesknou bojovou písní, kterou však stojí za to dozpívat až do samého konce. Výbor napínavých povídek Andrzeje Sapkowského obsahuje Prolog z knihy Zaklínač I.

Zaklínač II: Meč osudu - brož. (4. vydání) - Andrzej Sapkowski

Sedm příběhů zaklínače Geralta. Meč osudu je několikátou povídkovou sbírkou o Geraltovi, trubadúrovi Marigoldovi čarodějce a Yennefer, kde se jejich osudy všemožně kříží a rozpojují, aby se nakonec všichni opět setkali.Hlavním hrdinou tvorby Andrzeje Sapkowského je zaklínač Geralt z Rivie. Jako nájemný hubitel upírů, vlkodlaků a všemožných nebezpečných netvorů pochopitelně ovládá bojové a magické techniky nezbytné pro své zaměstnání. Nicméně není pouze chladnokrevným profesionálem, a už vůbec ne jedním ze superhrdinů, jimiž se žánr fantasy jen hemží. Postupně vychází najevo, že neměl možnost si svůj osud svobodně zvolit, ale naopak je nucen draze platit za schopnosti a dovednosti nedosažitelné a vesměs též nepochopitelné běžným smrtelníkům. Proto vyvolává strach a zároveň nevraživost a odpor těch, jejichž životy vlastně chrání. Přes své pozitivní působení jsou zaklínači odsouzeni k vyhnanství na samém okraji společnosti, která sice působí vnějškově středověkým dojmem, avšak mnoho jejich atributů je převzatých ze současnosti.

“The most important book on cooking over live fire in decades. Life of Fire illuminates it all, from coal beds, to home-built pits (in minutes!) to simple, delicious, recipes and enough whole hog know-how to impress the weekend warriors without intimidating newcomers.”—Andrew ZimmernONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: SaveurOne of the few pitmasters still carrying the torch of West Tennessee whole-hog barbecue, Nashville’s Pat Martin has studied and taught this craft for years. Now he reveals all he knows about the art of barbecue and live fire cooking. Through beautiful photography and detailed instruction, the lessons start with how to prepare and feed a fire—what wood to use, how to build a pit or a grill, how to position it to account for the weather—then move into cooking through all the stages of that fire’s life. You’ll sear tomatoes for sandwiches and infuse creamed corn with the flavor of char from the temperamental, adolescent fire. Next, you’ll grill chicken with Alabama white sauce over the grown-up fire, and, of course, you’ll master pit-cooked whole hog, barbecue ribs, turkey, pork belly, and pork shoulder over the smoldering heat of mature coals.
