History takes flight in the second book of Naomi Novik’s deliciously addictive series which captures the Napoleonic period perfectly and skillfully layers the timeline with imagination by adding a Dragon Air Force to the battle for England.Captain William Laurence of the British Air Corps and his dragon, Temeraire, begin their slow voyage to China, fearful that upon landing they will be forced to part by Imperial decree.Temeraire is a Celestial dragon, the most highly-prized of all draconic breeds; famed for their intelligence, agility and most of all for the Divine Wind – their terrible roar capable of shattering the heavy timbers of war ships, shattering woodland and destroying other dragons mid-flight. Temeraire’s egg was captured and claimed by the British at sea, but he was meant to be the companion of the Emperor Napoleon and not captained by a mere officer in the British Air Corps.The Chinese have demanded his return and the British cannot refuse them – they cannot afford to provoke the asian super-power into allying themselves with the French – even if it costs them the most powerful weapon in their arsenal and inflicts the most unimaginable pain upon Laurence and his dragon.

Naomi Novik’s beloved Temeraire series, a brilliant combination of fantasy and history that reimagines the Napoleonic wars as fought with the aid of intelligent dragons, is a twenty-first-century classic.

Age-old enmities and suspicions have turned the entire region into a powder keg ready to erupt at the slightest spark – a spark that Laurence and Temeraire may unwittingly provide, leaving Britain faced with new enemies just when they most desperately need allies instead.For to the west, another, wider conflagration looms. Napoleon has turned on his former ally, the emperor Alexander of Russia, and is even now leading the largest army the world has ever seen to add that country to his list of conquests. It is there, outside the gates of Moscow, that a reunited Laurence and Temeraire – along with some unexpected allies and old friends – will face their ultimate challenge .. . and learn whether or not there are stronger ties than memory.

‘Excellent’ Antony Beevor‘Saul David is a brilliant historian … In shocking and jaw-dropping detail, he brings a battle that deserves far greater prominence and understanding vividly back to life’ James HollandFrom award-winning historian Saul David, an action-packed and powerful new narrative of the Battle of Okinawa – the last great clash of the Second World War, and one that had profound consequences for the modern world. For eighty-three blood-soaked days, the fighting on the island of Okinawa plumbed depths of savagery as bad as anything seen on the Eastern Front. When it was over, almost a quarter of a million people had lost their lives, making it by far the bloodiest US battle of the Pacific. In Okinawa, the death toll included thousands of civilians lost to mass suicide, convinced by Japanese propaganda that they would otherwise be raped and murdered by the enemy. On the US side, David argues that the horror of the battle ultimately determined President Truman’s choice to use atomic bombs in August 1945.It is a brutal, heart-rending story, and one David tells with masterly attention to detail: the cramped cockpit of a kamikaze plane, the claustrophobic gun turret of a warship under attack, and a ...

A blueprint to reconcile with our shadow, resolve the emotional conflicts that keep us stuck and in self-sabotage, and dissolve the hidden forces that hinder our ability to thrive.In this book, integrative life coach Xavier Dagba explores our relationship to the dark side of the human psyche. This includes wounds from the past, aspects of ourselves we’ve been conditioned to see as unlovable, and, more importantly, our repressed brightness: the golden shadow.Many books on shadow work focus only on the more “painful” or dark aspects of the shadow. They do not necessarily address the golden shadow. Scars of Gold places shadow work into a well-crafted framework of personal transformation that meets the reader where they are and guides them toward a fuller and more integrated life.

Glenn Richardson provides the first history in more than four decades of a major Tudor event: an extraordinary international gathering of Renaissance rulers unparalleled in its opulence, pageantry, controversy, and mystery.  Throughout most of the late medieval period, from 1300 to 1500, England and France were bitter enemies, often at war or on the brink of it. In 1520, in an effort to bring conflict to an end, England’s monarch, Henry VIII, and Francis I of France agreed to meet, surrounded by virtually their entire political nations, at “the Field of Cloth of Gold.” In the midst of a spectacular festival of competition and entertainment, the rival leaders hoped to secure a permanent settlement between them, as part of a European-wide “Universal Peace.” Richardson offers a bold new appraisal of this remarkable historical event, describing the preparations and execution of the magnificent gathering, exploring its ramifications, and arguing that it was far more than the extravagant elitist theater and cynical charade it historically has been considered to be.

1520 explores the characters of two larger-than-life kings, whose rivalry and love-hate relations added a feisty edge to European relations in the early 16th century. What propelled them to meet, and how did each vie to outdo the other in feats of strength and yards of gold cloth? Everyone who was anyone in 1520 was there. But why were the flower of EnglandÂ’s nobility transported across the Channel, and how were they catered for? What did this temporary, fairy-tale village erected in a French field look like, feel like and smell like? This book explores not only the political dimension of their meeting, and the difficult triangle they established with Emperor Charles V, but also the material culture behind the scenes. While the courtiers attended masques, dances, feasts and jousts, an army of servants toiled in the temporary village created specially for that summer. Who were the men and women behind the scenes? And what was the long-term result of the meeting, of that sea of golden tents and fountains spouting wine?

Agnieszka miluje své domovské údolí, klidnou vesnici, lesy a průzračnou řeku. Ale na hranici stojí zlověstný Hvozd plný zlomyslné moci, jehož stín tíživě padá na její život. Aby zlé síly zůstaly v Hvozdu, spoléhají Agniežčini lidé na chladného a vypočítavého čaroděje známého pod jménem Drak. Ten však za svou pomoc vyžaduje hrozivou cenu: každých deset let mu musí jít sloužit jedna mladá žena, což je osud téměř stejně hrozný, jako kdyby propadla Hvozdu. Další volba se rychle blíží a Agnieszka má strach. Každý ví, že tentokrát si Drak vezme Kasiu — krásnou, hodnou, statečnou Kasiu, Agniežčinu nejdražší přítelkyni, která je vším, čím Agnieszka není. A neexistuje způsob, jak ji zachránit. Ale když Drak konečně přijde, překvapivě si vybere někoho jiného.

Každému rád půjčí, ale pak si neumí říct o splátky, takže se rodina nachází na pokraji chudoby - dokud Mirjem nezakročí. Obrní se před zatvrzelostí vesničanů, vydá se vymáhat dluhy a zjistí, že je pro tuto práci jako stvořená. Když jí její dědeček dá měšec stříbrných mincí, přinese mu ho zpátky plný zlata. Jenže když se rozkřikne, že umí proměnit stříbro ve zlato, ukáže se, že to možná přinese víc potíží než prospěchu. Mirjeminy schopnosti přilákají pozornost krále Staryků - nadpřirozených bytostí, které přicházejí s prvním záchvěvem zimy a prahnou po zlatě. Dá se tak do pohybu řada událostí, v jejichž středu stojí spolu s Mirjem prostá dívka Wanda, která pro Mirjem začne pracovat poté, co si její otec nemůže dovolit zaplatit lichváři dluh, a šlechtična Irina, kterou chce její otec provdat za mladého cara.

Saving the world is a test no school of magic can prepare you for in the triumphant conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling trilogy that began with A Deadly Education and The Last Graduate. The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates. And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world. Just kidding. Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in.

Jste připraveni na závěrečnou lekci ve Scholomancii? Studenti Scholomancie nikdy nemluví o tom, co budou dělat, až se dostanou ven. Takhle pokoušet osud a spřádat plány do budoucna by mohl jen hlupák. Přesto o tom všichni tajně sní — o té nepravděpodobné, malé šanci, že přežijí a dostanou se ven za brány školy. Ovšem nakonec se to podaří jen málokomu. Pro Galadriel Higginsovou se tento nemožný sen stal skutečností a po čtyřech letech strávených ve škole se vrátila domů. Ještě nedávno by byla šťastná, protože ve svůj úspěch příliš nedoufala. Teď se však všechno zvrtlo a ty, které zachránila, pravděpodobně čeká smrt v propukající válce mezi enklávami. Takhle si El svůj návrat vážně nepředstavovala. Ale vždycky může být ještě hůř: sotva se ze spárů Scholomancie vysvobodila, musí se otočit na patě a vrátit se zpátky.
