The Complete Father Brown Vol 1 (With Original Illustrations) - GK Chesterton

Contains 'The Innocence of Father Brown', 'The Wisdom of Father Brown' and 'The Incredulity of Father Brown'. "I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world, and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread."Father Brown is a detective like no other. A catholic cleric blessed with incredible detection abilities, he is frequently confronted with crimes that only he can solve. G.K. Chesterton was already a literary heavyweight before he created Father Brown and to him these were "ephemeral" and light stories, but the Father Brown series has become his most lasting and memorable work. Along with volume 2, this is the only truly complete edition that includes 'The Donnington Affair', 'The Vampire of the Village' and 'The Mask of Midas' as well as original illustrations.

Capability Brown and the Eighteenth-century English Landscape - Roger Turner

Who was ‘the famous Mr. Brown’, and why are his parks still so important?Today he is credited with laying out every piece of parkland in Britain, while others accuse him of single-handedly sweeping away all the formal gardens that preceded the Landscape Movement. If he was indeed the greatest of all designers of man-made landscapes, how should we properly understand and appreciate his work and legacy? The author follows an introduction to the culture and society of 18th-century England by tracing the rise of the Landscape Movement. He then provides a carefully researched account of Lancelot Brown’s humble origins and rising fortunes, his marriage and family, the course of his career and mounting fame and recognition, culminating in his appointment as Master Gardener to George III. For those whose interests lie in understanding the history of gardening, landscape design or 18th-century society there is much to be found here, but equally this book will sharpen the appreciation of Brown’s work for all those who have visited his estates an enjoyed his enduring achievements.

Kick Out the Jams - Dave Marsh

Selected writings on three decades of popular music from one of the most influential critics of his generation.Spanning three decades worth of astute, acerbic, and overall astounding music writing, Kick Out the Jams is the first large-scale anthology of the work of renowned critic Dave Marsh. Ranging from Elvis Presley to Kurt Cobain, from Nina Simone to Ani DiFranco, from the Beatles to Green Day, the book gives an opinionated, eye-opening overview of 20th-century popular music—offering a portrait not just of an era but of a writer wrestling with the American empire. Every essay bears the distinct Dave Marsh attitude and voice. That passion is evident in a heart-wrenching piece on Cobain’s suicide and legacy; a humorous attack on “Bono’s bullshit;” an indignant look at James Brown and the FBI; deep, revelatory probes into the work of underappreciated artists like Patty Griffin and Alejandro Escovedo; and inspiring insight into what drives Marsh as a writer, namely “a raging passion to explain things in the hope that others would not be trapped and to keep the way clear so that others from the trashy outskirts of barbarous America still had a place to stand—if not in the culture at large, at ...

Jak vycvičit draka - Cressida Cowellová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Jak se stát největším vikingským hrdinou všech dob? Můžete se jím prostě narodit. Může vám to zákulisními intrikami zařídit vaše babička. Nebo se k tomu můžete dopracovat vlastní pílí jako Škyťák Šelmovská Štika III., známý válečnický náčelník kmene Chlupatých chuligánů, obávaný bojovník a amatérský přírodovědec. Ani jeho cesta na trůn však nebyla jednoduchá. První zkouškou odvahy pro bojovné mladíky je totiž obtížný úkol: chytit a ochočit si draka. Škyťák se však v dětství coby potenciální následník příliš nepředvedl; byl hochem nemotorným, nevysokým a nešikovným, více než svaly se snažil používat důvtip. Nicméně jeho chabý úlovek - mrňavý a bezzubý dráček - ukáže, že se v něm (stejně jako v jeho "krotiteli") možná skrývá víc, než je na první pohled patrné. Začíná báječné dobrodružství plné strašlivých netvorů, zbrusu nových metod výcviku draků a spousty legrace... Příběh se stal také předlohou stejnojmenného úspěšného animovaného filmu z roku 2010 i jeho pokračování Jak vycvičit draka 2 (2014). Studio DreamWorks připravuje i další snímek z této série. Cressida Cowell (* 1966) Anglická spisovatelka fantasy příběhů vystudovala angličtinu, grafický design a ilustraci v Oxfordu a Brighton University. Psaní se začala věnovat již v devíti letech, kdy se s rodiči přestěhovala z Londýna na malý ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Jak se stát pirátem - Cressida Cowellová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Pokud někde najdete velký nápis NEOTVÍRAT, co uděláte? Povinný pirátský výcvik tentokrát obnáší i ztroskotání a nález prapodivné truhly opatřené důrazným varováním. Mohlo by se v ní skrývat nebezpečí nebo třeba vodítko k pokladu slavného piráta Truchlovouse Trudného… Pátrací výprava Chlupatých Chuligánů začíná plavbou na ostrov Lebkolvů, slepých draků, kteří neumí létat, ale o to jsou nebezpečnější. Škyťáka navíc čeká první utkání s proradným úhlavním nepřítelem nebo boj se strašlivou chapadlovitou obludou, a to ještě zdaleka není všechno. Druhá část pamětí Škyťáka Šelmovského Štiky III. „David Novotný oživil každičkou sebemenší figurku v ději charakteristickým způsobem mluvy, který posluchači nejenže pomáhá postavy od sebe snadno rozpoznat, ale jejich hlášky a vtip v nich zesiluje. Několikanásobně.“ - Lukáš Gregor, naposlech.cz „Režisérka Jitka Škápíková s Davidem Novotným se u dračího dobrodružství dobře bavili.
