Dreamwalker is the first spellbinding novel in the new epic fantasy series from J. D. Oswald - The Ballad of Sir Benfro. In a small village, miles from the great cities of the Twin Kingdoms, a young boy called Errol tries to find his way in the world. He s an outsider - he looks different from other children and has never known his father. No one, not even himself, has any knowledge of his true lineage. Deep in the forest, Benfro, the young male dragon begins his training in the subtle arts. Like his mother, Morgwm the Green, he is destined to be a great Mage. No one could imagine that the future of all life in the Twin Kingdoms rests in the hands of these two unlikely heroes. But it is a destiny that will change the lives of boy and dragon forever ... And so begins The Ballad of Sir Benfro - the unputdownable tale of the great dragons returning to the kingdom of men. Breathtakingly compulsive and beautifully written, The Ballad of Sir Benfro is for readers hooked to the world of George R. R. Martin s Game of Thrones and those longing for the next Tolkien film adaptation. Dreamwalker is followed by The Rose Cord and The Golden Cage. J. D. Oswald is the author of the epic fantasy series, The Ballad of Sir Benfro. Currently, Dreamwalker, The Rose Cord and The Golden Cage are all available as Penguin eBooks. He is also the author of the Detective Inspector McLean series of crime novels under the name James Oswald. In his spare time James runs a 350-acre livestock farm in North East Fife, where he raises pedigree Highland Cattle and New Zealand Romney Sheep.

Roald Dahl se opět představuje jako mistr humoristických příběhů plných bizarních detailů, mistrně vypointovaných k dokonalosti. K audioknihám tohoto druhu by měla být připojena varování: „Neposlouchejte během jídla a pití, budete se smát tak často, že byste stejně všechno vyprskali.“ Roald Dahl se opět představuje jako mistr humoristických příběhů plných bizarních detailů, mistrně vypointovaných k dokonalosti. Bizarních detailů je v příběhu strýčka Oswalda opravdu požehnaně. Už v předmluvě Oswaldova synovce se jde rovnou k věci. Podle něj by prý ze srovnání se strýčkem Oswaldem i „samotný Casanova vyzněl jako člověk trpící těžkou dysfunkcí svého pohlavního orgánku“. Poté už přichází ke slovu sám strýček Oswald a předestírá příběh anglického gentlemana, který se v mládí rozhodl, že musí přijít k velkému bohatství. K tomu mu dopomohly dvě věci – mletý prášek ze súdánského brouka jménem puchýřník na podporu erekce a spermabanka, do níž svými spolupracovníky kombinací lsti a zmiňovaného prášku sehnal sperma snad všech význačných osobností dvacátých let 20. století. K audioknihám tohoto druhu by měla být připojena varování: „Neposlouchejte během jídla a pití, budete se smát tak často, že byste stejně všechny vyprskali.“

Matthew Arnold praised the Iliad for its nobility , as has everyone ever since -- but ancient critics praised it for its enargeia, its bright unbearable reality (the word used when gods come to earth not in disguise but as themselves). To retrieve the poem s energy, Alice Oswald has stripped away its story, and her account focuses by turns on Homer s extended similes and on the brief biographies of the minor war-dead, most of whom are little more than names, but each of whom lives and dies unforgettably - and unforgotten - in the copiousness of Homer s glance. The Iliad is an oral poem. This translation presents it as an attempt - in the aftermath of the Trojan War - to remember people s names and lives without the use of writing. I hope it will have its own coherence as a series of memories and similes laid side by side: an antiphonal account of man in his world... compatible with the spirit of oral poetry, which was never stable but always adapting itself to a new audience, as if its language, unlike written language, was still alive and kicking. - Alice Oswald
