Během natáčení osmi filmů o Harrym Potterovi museli zaměstnanci filmových studií zhotovit řadu nezvyklých rekvizit. Museli například vystrojit ony úžasné hostiny v Bradavicích, zhotovit dokonalá létající košťata, kouzelné mapy a další pomůcky. Nemluvě o spoustě potřeb nutných ke každodennímu životu v kouzelnickém světě, jako jsou třeba noviny s pohyblivými obrázky, zlomyslné učebnice či huláky. Čtvrtá ze série knih o světě filmů o Harrym Potterovi seznamuje čtenáře s prací lidí, kteří vytvořili úžasné nálepky lahviček s lektvary, různé modely košťat, vybavení obchodu Kratochvilné kouzelnické kejkle, rozmanité kouzelnické hůlky, potřeby pro famfrpál a spoustu dalších předmětů.

Vítejte na hodině létání! Designy létajících košťat jsou stejně rozmanité jako způsoby jejich používání. Tato kniha se detailně věnuje kouzelným košťatům z potterovských filmů, jejich výrobcům a samozřejmě i pilotům. Svou roli v oživení košťat na filmovém plátně sehráli nejen filmaři, kteří je navrhli a vyrobili, ale také herci, kteří na nich ve svých rolích s větším či menším úspěchem létali. Na létajícím koštěti můžete kličkovat kolem nebezpečných draků, unikat před Smrtijedy nebo se prostě jen tak vznést na oblohu. A samozřejmě nelze zapomenout na famfrpál!

'Stunning... will long remain in the reader's mind' - Kristin HannahThis morning, I met the man who started the fire. He did something terrible, but then, so have I.I left him. I left him and now he may be dead. Once upon a time there was a beautiful village that held a million stories of love and loss and peace and war, and it was swallowed up by a fire that blazed up to the sky.The fire ran all the way down to the sea where it met with its reflection. A family from two nations, England and Greece, live a simple life in a tiny Greek village: Irini, Tasso and their daughter, lovely, sweet Chara, whose name means joy. Their life goes up in flames in a single day when one man starts a fire out of greed and indifference.Many are killed, homes are destroyed, and the region's natural beauty wiped out. In the wake of the fire, Chara bears deep scars across her back and arms. Tasso is frozen in trauma, devastated that he wasn't there when his family most needed him.And Irini is crippled by guilt at her part in the fate of the man who started the fire. But this family has survived, and slowly green shoots of hope and renewal will grow from the smouldering ruins of devastation. Once again, Christy Lefteri has crafted a novel which is intimate and epic, sweeping and delicate.The Book of Fire explores not only the damage wrought by human folly, and the costs of survival in our changing world, but also - and ultimately - our powers of redemption and renewal.

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a new owner in New Orleans and separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson’s Island until he can formulate a plan.Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father who recently returned to town. Thus begins a dangerous and transcendent journey by raft along the Mississippi River, towards the elusive promise of the free states and beyond. As James and Huck navigate the treacherous waters, each bend in the river holds the promise of both salvation and demise.With rumours of a brewing war, James must face the burden he carries: the family he is desperate to protect and the constant lie he must live.

For centuries humanity has engaged in a virtual exploration of space through astronomical observation, aided by astounding scientific and technological advances. In more than sixty years since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, more than 6,000 functioning satellites have been launched into Earth’s orbit and beyond – some to the farthest reaches of the Solar System – and more than 540 people have travelled into space. Unprecedented in its chronological and geographical scope, this book charts the history of space exploration from the first gunpowder rockets through the Moon landings, and into a future of space tourism. Numerous sidebars focus on the key individuals and inventions that brought us closer to the farthest reaches of the universe. Filled with astonishing images from the Smithsonian, NASA archives and other international collections, this is the first in-depth, fully illustrated survey of this universal human journey.Table of Contents1.

In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture.Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention.During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity.What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.
