A girl's quest to find her father leads her to an extended family of magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical Old World of England when it intrudes on the modern world. From the bestselling master of fantasy, Garth Nix. In a slightly alternate London in 1983, Susan Arkshaw is looking for her father, a man she has never met.Crime boss Frank Thringley might be able to help her, but Susan doesn't get time to ask Frank any questions before he is turned to dust by the prick of a silver hatpin in the hands of the outrageously attractive Merlin. Merlin is a young left-handed bookseller (one of the fighting ones), who with the right-handed booksellers (the intellectual ones), are an extended family of magical beings who police the mythic and legendary Old World when it intrudes on the modern world, in addition to running several bookshops. Susan's search for her father begins with her mother's possibly misremembered or misspelt surnames, a reading room ticket, and a silver cigarette case engraved with something that might be a coat of arms.Merlin has a quest of his own, to find the Old World entity who used ordinary criminals to kill his mother. As he and his sister, the right-handed bookseller Vivien, tread in the path of a botched or covered-up police investigation from years past, they find this quest strangely overlaps with Susan's. Who or what was her father? Susan, Merlin, and Vivien must find out, as the Old World erupts dangerously into the New.Praise for Garth NixGarth Nix sets the standard for Fantasy (Leigh Bardugo)A swashbuckling adventure . . .and the most original magic I've seen in years (Joe Abercrombie)Garth Nix is one of the best world-builders in fantasy.

Zlý, ještě horší a ošklivý Při svém pátrání po uprchlém Bohu, kterého hodlá hnát k odpovědnosti, narazil Jesse Custer na spoustu divných existencí - a není žádným překvapením, že mnohé z nich mají svůj vlastní podivuhodný příběh. Pradávná historie je sbírkou několika takových příběhů, které původně vyšly jako samostatné speciály. V hlavních rolích tu vystupují některé z nejbarvitějších vedlejších postav série Kazatel: "Svatý zabiják" nám vyjeví kompletní proces vzniku Custerovy nadpřirozené nemesis, jenž se odehrál jak na zamrzlých pláních Divokého západu, tak v těch nejžhavějších zákoutích samotného pekla; "Hoši z Jihu" se ohlédnou za idyličtějšími časy čtyřiadvacetikarátových buranů Jodyho a T. C., kteří za radostné pomocí celého arzenálu klišé akčních filmů čirou náhodou překazí plány mezinárodních teroristů; v "Příběhu-Vy-Víte-Koho" pro změnu zavítáme do světa frustrujícího dospívání na maloměstě, abychom byli svědky tragické frašky, která dala světu Prdelmana; a v Cassidyho flashbacku "Krev a whisky" odkryjeme něco z temné minulosti tohoto irského upíra spojené s neworleánským společenstvím Les Enfants Du Sang. Pradávná historie vychází jako závěrečná kniha preacherovské série, ságy, která patří k nejoceňovanějším titulům devadesátých let. Scenárista Garth Ennis a kreslíř Steve Dillon ji stvořili coby moderní americkou epopej, v níž dojde na tak zásadní věci jako život, smrt, lásku i vykoupení, nemluvě o věcech ještě zásadnějších jako je spousta sexu, alkoholu, krve a zbraní - a to ani nezmiňujeme anděle, démony, Boha, upíry a úchyly všech druhů. Pradávná historie představuje rozloučení s jedním z nejdivočejších a nejintenzivnějších příběhů, jaký se v komiksovém formátu kdy objevil.

Někdy i bůh hromu narazí na protivníky, na které prostě nestačí. Třeba na nemrtvé vikingy, kteří po tisíci letech putování přistáli na Manhattanu a začali s drancováním. Aby měl šanci, musí dát dohromady tým krví spojených bojovníků z různých historických epoch. Stačí ale vikingská bojovnice, fanatický křižák a nacistický pilot k zastavení nemrtvé hrozby? I když vychází komiks právě ve chvíli, kdy se chystá do kin filmový Thor, tak Vikingové nejsou adaptace filmu. Tenhle Thor vyšel v rámci dospělejší řady MAX (ze které momentálně vychází kupříkladu Punisher), napsal ho jeden z nejosobitějších komiksových tvůrců Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) a brilantní kresbou příběh doplnil slavný Glenn Fabry (obálky k Preacherovi, Nikdykde).

* TOLKIEN * Now a major motion pictureAcclaimed as ‘the best book about Tolkien’, this award-winning biography explores J.R.R. Tolkien’s wartime experiences and their impact on his life and his writing of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.“To be caught in youth by 1914 was no less hideous an experience than in 1939 … by 1918 all but one of my close friends were dead.”So J.R.R. Tolkien responded to critics who saw The Lord of the Rings as a reaction to the Second World War. Tolkien and the Great War tells for the first time the full story of how he embarked on the creation of Middle-earth in his youth as the world around him was plunged into catastrophe. This biography reveals the horror and heroism that he experienced as a signals officer in the Battle of the Somme and introduces the circle of friends who spurred his mythology to life. It shows how, after two of these brilliant young men were killed, Tolkien pursued the dream they had all shared by launching his epic of good and evil.John Garth argues that the foundation of tragic experience in the First World War is the key to Middle-earth’s enduring power. Tolkien used his mythic imagination not to escape from reality but to reflect and transform the cataclysm of his generation. While his contemporaries surrendered to disillusionment, he kept enchantment alive, reshaping an entire literary tradition into a form that resonates to this day.This is the first substantially new biography of Tolkien since 1977, meticulously researched and distilled from his personal wartime papers and a multitude of other sources.
