První díl bestsellerové fantasy série o vědkyni zkoumající svět víl Mrzoutská profesorka Emily se vydává na ostrov Ljosland na dalekém severu, aby tam studovala místní folklor a víly a sepsala svou přelomovou encyklopedii kouzelných bytostí. Čelí zde však řadě potíží, včetně skutečnosti, že ačkoli je přední odbornicí na vše, co se týká nadpřirozených tvorů, komunikace se smrtelnými lidmi pro ni představuje tvrdý oříšek, a proto se raději drží v ústraní se svými knihami a psem. Emilyin výzkum ještě víc zkomplikuje příjezd jejího akademického rivala, šarmantního Wendella Bamblebyho, který si dokáže místní obyvatele okamžitě získat, a navíc se Emily k její frustraci neustále plete do vědecké práce. Když však víly vlákají do své říše mladé vesničanky, Emily a Wendell musí spojit své síly, aby se je pokusili zachránit. Přitom vyplouvají na povrch tajemství, která se týkají i jich samých. Jakou oběť budou muset podstoupit, aby zachránili ostrovany před zlovolným Lidem? A kolik víl bude moct Emily přidat do své encyklopedie?

Most encyclopaedias are boring. They are so packed with worthy but dull facts that a great deal of weird and wonderful material is squeezed out. The Encyclopaedia of Everything Else takes the opposite approach and leaves out all the dreary stuff you can find elsewhere. The result is the most fascinating, astonishing, varied and utterly useless collection of information ever assembled and organized between two covers. From aardvark tooth bracelets to the genus of tropical weevils known as Zyzzyva, via Mark Twain''s views about cabbages, this is a quarter of a million words of sublime pointlessness.

From humble beginnings with the threat of the workhouse looming, Emily Soldene rose to become a star of the London stage and a formidable impresario with her own opera company.

Anna, Duchess of Cleves - Heather R. Darsie
Anna was the ‘last woman standing’ of Henry VIII’s wives ‒ and the only one buried in Westminster Abbey. How did she manage it?Anna, Duchess of Cleves: The King’s ‘Beloved Sister’ looks at Anna from a new perspective, as a woman from the Holy Roman Empire and not as a woman living almost by accident in England. Starting with what Anna’s life as a child and young woman was like, the author describes the climate of the Cleves court, and the achievements of Anna’s siblings. It looks at the political issues on the Continent that transformed Anna’s native land of Cleves ‒ notably the court of Anna’s brother-in-law, and its influence on Lutheranism ‒ and Anna’s blighted marriage. Finally, Heather Darsie explores ways in which Anna influenced her step-daughters Elizabeth and Mary, and the evidence of their good relationships with her.Was the Duchess Anna in fact a political refugee, supported by Henry VIII? Was she a role model for Elizabeth I? Why was the marriage doomed from the outset? By returning to the primary sources and visiting archives and museums all over Europe (the author is fluent in German, and proficient in French and Spanish) a very different figure emerges ...

In Praise of Disobedience - Oscar Wilde
In Praise of Disobedience draws on works from a single miraculous year in which Oscar Wilde published the larger part of his greatest works in prose — the year he came into maturity as an artist. Before the end of 1891, he had written the first of his phenomenally successful plays and met the young man who would win his heart, beginning the love affair that would lead to imprisonment and public infamy. In a witty introduction, playwright, novelist and Wilde scholar Neil Bartlett explains what made this point in the writer’s life central to his genius and why Wilde remains a provocative and radical figure to this day. Included here are the entirety of Wilde’s foray into political philosophy, The Soul of Man Under Socialism; the complete essay collection Intentions; selections from The Picture of Dorian Gray as well as its paradoxical and scandalous preface; and some of Wilde’s greatest fictions for children. Each selection is accompanied by stimulating and enlightening annotations. A delight for fans of Oscar Wilde, In Praise of Disobedience will revitalize an often misunderstood legacy.
