Don Matzat here provides a new perspective on the life of Katherine Parr, the sixth and final wife of the infamous Henry VIII. While most biographers suggest that Katherine chose to marry the obese, irascible monarch in order to further some reformation or obey a divine imperative, the author goes against the tide and concludes that Katherine was an opportunist who married the king in order to enjoy the comforts of being the Queen of England, proven by her sumptuous lifestyle.But everything changed for Katherine when she had a dramatic conversion experience, embracing the primary tenets of the Protestant Reformation as described in her seminal work, The Lamentation of a Sinner. Her newly found belief placed her in a precarious position, not only with her husband but with the heresy hunters who, with the king’s blessing, beheaded those who held such beliefs. Yet Katherine had the courage to discuss her faith with her dangerous husband during the final months of his life.The life of Katherine Parr was one of drama, intrigue, danger, deceit, clandestine romance, scandal, tragedy and mystery.

Writings of certain nineteenth and twentieth-century historians continue to colour our perceptions of the past, but is the picture of Katherine Howard painted by some of them necessarily fair? Was she really a neglected young girl set up by an unscrupulous family to enable them to exercise control over Henry VIII, or a secure teenager brought up in the home of her illustrious step-grandmother, the Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, who treated her well? Ultimately, was her untimely death the fault of others or the result of Katherine’s own ill-advised choices?Through original research and use of primary sources, Queen Katherine and the Howards: A Tudor Family on the Brink of Disaster examines the Howards’ journey from practising law in East Anglia to their elevation to the dukedom of Norfolk by Richard III and, following the Yorkist defeat at Bosworth, their decades of service and loyalty to the fledgling Tudor dynasty. The final weeks of Katherine Howard’s short life, presented as a day-to-day narrative, enables the reader to appreciate how terrifyingly quickly the old duchess and Katherine’s associates, most involved against their wishes, were rounded up and consigned to the Tower for concealing what they knew of her lively past.

Over the years Katherine Howard, Henry VIII’s fifth wife, has been slandered as a ‘juvenile delinquent’, ‘empty-headed wanton’ and ‘natural born tart’, who engaged in promiscuous liaisons prior to her marriage and committed adultery after. Though she was bright, charming and beautiful, her actions in a climate of distrust and fear of female sexuality led to her ruin in 1542 after less than two years as queen. In this in-depth biography, Conor Byrne uses the results of six years of research to challenge these assumptions, arguing that Katherine’s notorious reputation is unfounded and redeeming her as Henry VIII’s most defamed queen. He offers new insights into her activities and behaviour as consort, as well as the nature of her relationships with Manox, Dereham and Culpeper, looking at her representations in media and how they have skewed popular opinion. Who was the real Katherine Howard and has society been wrong to judge her so harshly for the past 500 years?

CHRISTINA DALCHERVox meets The Handmaid’s Tale in this feminist reimagining of 1984 In Oceania, whoever you are, Big Brother is always watching you and trust is a luxury that no one has. Julia is the seemingly perfect example of what women in Oceania should be: dutiful, useful, subservient, meek. But Julia hides a secret. A secret that would lead to her death if it is discovered. For Julia is part of the underground movement called The Sisterhood, whose main goal is to find members of The Brotherhood, the anti-Party vigilante group, and help them to overthrow Big Brother. Only then can everyone be truly free. When Julia thinks she’s found a potential member of The Brotherhood, it seems like their goal might finally be in their grasp. But as she gets closer to Winston Smith, Julia’s past starts to catch up with her and we soon realise that she has many more secrets than we’d first imagined – and that ...

Ostrov Tisíce hvězd odjakživa spočíval pod sametovou hvězdnatou oblohou. Jenže teď noc co noc přichází Stín a hvězdy jedna po druhé hasnou. Jedenáctiletá Tigris se s tatínkem stěhuje do nového bytu. Vůbec ji to ale netěší, v tom starém bylo tolik drobných památek na její mámu a ten nový je prostě jen prázdný. Jednoho dne Tigris objeví mezi stěhovacími krabicemi dřevěnou truhlu s nápisem "Lyřiny věci". Lyra bylo jméno její maminky. Holčička si do truhly vleze a usne. Když se zase probudí, ocitne se na ostrově Tisíce hvězd. Setká se na něm s laskavou Ariann a klukem Leem. Jenže na ostrově žije také Stín - tvor, který zhasíná životodárné hvězdy. A je tam i hrozivý Zkamenělý les, v němž zmizela Tigridina maminka… Ostrov Tisíce hvězd je dobrodružný příběh o přátelství, ztrátě někoho blízkého, o rodinném tajemství, které nakonec vyjde najevo, i o tom, že o pocitech je lépe hovořit než je skrývat.

Blu-ray film Hvězdná brána HD [1994]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Hrají: Kurt Russell, James Spader. Přenese Vás miliony světelných let od domova. Dokáže Vás však vrátit zpět? Píše se rok 1928. Na úpatí velkých pyramid byl vykopán antický egyptský artefakt pokrytý neznámými symboly. O pár desetiletí později americká vláda povolá na pomoc egyptologa doktora Daniela Jacksona (James Spader), aby odtajnil tajemství těchto symbolů. Ten odhalí klíč k HVĚZDNÉ BRÁNĚ - meziplanetárnímu vchodu do vzdálené strany známého vesmíru. Na cestě za objevením záhady se Jackson stává součástí vojenské jednotky vedené plukovníkem O´Neilem (Kurt Russell). Díky hvězdné bráně se sami ocitnou ve futuristickém zpustlém světě, kterému vládne božský král Ra. Jackson znovu nevědomě otevře prostor - časový koridor, který staří Egypťané uzavřeli tomuto despotickému vládci před několika stoletími. Skupina badatelů si dokáže jen stěží představit sílu moci, která zde panuje a dobrodružství, které na ně čeká.Bonusy: • Tajemství Hvězdné brány: Návrhy a casting • Brána se otevírá: Jak se točil film • Průchod hvězdnou branou: Legenda • Nikdy neuvedené gagy z natáčení • Obraz v obraze • Existuje Hvězdná brána? • Jak se točila Hvězdná brána • Kino trailer
