Homecoming Book II: Maestro (Defekt) - R. A. Salvatore
Something terrible, unspeakable, immense, has come to Menzoberranzan and is leaving death and destruction in its wake. The primordial of Gauntlgrym stirs, sending Cattie-brie and Gromph to Luskan, and the ruins of the only power that can keep the beast in check. The damage of the Darkening, of war, and of a demon-ravaged Underdark has sent cracks out across the North. Some of this damage may never be repaired. And Drizzt is going home. But not to Mithral Hall. Not to Icewind Dale. He's going to Menzoberranzan. Bruenor is ready to march with him bringing along an army of dwarves to end the scourge of Menzoberranzan, but Drizzt needs to see what's happening there. The dwarf army may not be necessary. The City of Spiders might already have fallen to the demons and their wicked prince. But even if that's true, what's to say the demons will stop there? Maestro picks up where Archmage left off, plunging Drizzt into his most dangerous adventure yet, and with all the action, adventure, beloved characters, dark elves, monsters, and demon princes Drizzt fans adore.

Hero (Defekt) - R. A. Salvatore
The saga of dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden has become a fixture in the fantasy genre, with a string of New York Times best-selling novels going back to 1988. Hero is the follow-up to Maestro and Archmage, and final book in the Homecoming trilogy. Something akin to "peace" has come to the Underdark. The demon hordes have receded, and now the matron mothers argue over the fate of Drizzt Do'Urden. Even so, it becomes clear to one matriarch after another that while the renegade drow may come and go Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders will crawl forever on. And so Drizzt is free to return to his home on the surface once again. Scores are settled as lives are cut short, yet other lives move on. For the lone drow there is only a single final quest: a search for peace, for family, for home--for the future. Hero picks up where Maestro left off, in a sweeping climax to an epic tale.

Archmage - R. A. Salvatore
The pall that had descended over the North is gone, and a new day has dawned on a victorious Mithral Hall, but no matter how bright things seem on the surface, Drizzt and his companions know that what lurks just under their feet remains steeped in evil and charged with unimaginable power. The dark elves of Menzoberranzan, including the powerful Archmage Gromph, aren't done with Drizzt yet. And consumed by their own power struggles, feeling backed into a corner, the drow may just be desperate enough to call on demonic forces from the deepest reaches of the Abyss, and unleash a disaster even the Underdark could never have prepared for. Archmage has everything Drizzt's fans crave: action, adventure, characters that resonate with equal measures of warrior spirit and deep compassion, and no shortage of wicked dark elves!

eBook: V Menzoberranzanu se zjevilo něco strašlivého, nevyslovitelného, obrovského, co šíří smrt a zkázu. Prvorozený v Gauntlgrymu se probouzí, Catti a Gromph tak vyrazí do Luskanu, k troskám jediné moci, která může udržet netvora pod kontrolou. Škody napáchané Zatemněním, válkou a démony, kteří pustoší Temné říše, otvírají trhliny napříč celým Severem. Některé škody se možná nikdy nepodaří napravit. A Drizzt se vrací domů. Ale ne do Mitrilové síně. Ne na Planinu ledového větru. Míří do Menzoberranzanu. Bruenor je připraven vyrazit na cestu spolu s ním a vzít s sebou i celou armádu trpaslíků, aby jednou provždy ukončil hrozbu, kterou Menzoberranzan představuje, jenže Drizzt musí nejdříve zjistit, co se vlastně děje. Trpasličí armády možná vůbec nebude potřeba. Pavoučí město už mohlo podlehnout démonům a jejich zákeřnému princi. Jenže i kdyby to byla pravda, proč by se s tím měli démoni spokojit? Maestro začíná tam, kde skončil Arcimág, vrhá Drizzta do zatím nejnebezpečnějšího dobrodružství a přináší akci, napětí, oblíbené postavy, temné elfy, netvory a démonské prince, které Drizztovi fanoušci zbožňují.

The Battle of Maldon - together with The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth - J. R. R. Tolkien, Peter Grybauskas
First ever standalone edition of one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most important poetic dramas, that explores timely themes such as the nature of heroism and chivalry during war, and which features unpublished and never-before-seen texts and drafts. In 991 AD, vikings attacked an Anglo-Saxon defence-force led by their duke, Beorhtnoth, resulting in brutal fighting along the banks of the river Blackwater, near Maldon in Essex. The attack is widely considered one of the defining conflicts of tenth-century England, due to it being immortalised in the poem, The Battle of Maldon. Written shortly after the battle, the poem now survives only as a 325-line fragment, but its value to today is incalculable, not just as an heroic tale but in vividly expressing the lost language of our ancestors and celebrating ideals of loyalty and friendship. J.R.R. Tolkien considered The Battle of Maldon ‘the last surviving fragment of ancient English heroic minstrelsy'. It would inspire him to compose, during the 1930s, his own dramatic verse-dialogue, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son, which imagines the aftermath of the great battle when two of Beorhtnoth's retainers come to retrieve their duke's body. Leading Tolkien scholar, Peter Grybauskas, presents for the very first time J.R.R. Tolkien's own prose translation of The Battle of Maldon together with the definitive treatment of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth and its accompanying essays; also included and never before published is Tolkien's bravura lecture, ‘The Tradition of Versification in Old English', a wide-ranging essay on the nature of poetic tradition. Illuminated with insightful notes and commentary, he has produced a definitive critical edition of these works, and argues compellingly that, Beowulf excepted, The Battle of Maldon may well have been ‘the Old English poem that most influenced Tolkien's fiction', most dramatically within the pages of The Lord of the Rings.

Longevity Book (Defekt) - Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bark
Kniha o tom, jak žít ve zdraví, síle, kráse a pohodě v každém věku. Jakmile Cameron Diaz oslavila devětatřicáté narozeniny, na pořadu dne se objevila „ta“ otázka. V téměř každém rozhovoru se novináři Cameron ptali, jestli se obává čtyřicítky. „Když se tyto otázky staly nedílnou součástí každého rozhovoru, došlo mi, jakou důležitost věku přikládáme,“ říká Cameron. Titul Longevity Book se stal logickým pokračováním Body Book, bestselleru deníku The New York Times, v němž se autorka zabývala tématy jako zdravý životní styl a důležitost harmonie těla a ducha. I v nové knize se snaží poskytnout čtenářkám co nejvíce užitečných poznatků a rad, které jim pomohou lépe zvládnout novou životní fázi, do níž vstupují ve věku kolem čtyřicítky. Na rozdíl od celé řady jiných knih na podobné téma však Longevity Book nevychází z postoje, že se s věkem má bojovat všemi dostupnými prostředky a že je bezpodmínečně nutné, aby se ženy snažily vypadat mladší, než ve skutečnosti jsou. Tato kniha zkoumá, jak nás čas ovlivňuje jak po tělesné, tak po emociální stránce – protože tyto dvě složky našeho zdraví jsou od sebe neoddělitelné. Longevity Book poskytuje čtivý a zevrubný výklad o fungování ženského těla i mysli. Průměrná délka našeho života je delší než kdykoli dřív v minulosti. Abychom si však tento dar dlouhověkosti mohli náležitě užívat, je zcela zásadní dobře porozumět hlasu svého těla a připravit se na vše, co nás čeká, abychom mohly zrát s grácií. Longevity Book je kniha, která vám poskytne všechny zásadní informace a nabídne ucelený pohled na to, jak si můžeme užívat života plnými doušky, a to v každém věku.

The Book of All Books (Defekt) - Roberto Calasso
A splendid reimagining of key stories from the Bible, by the author of The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony. A man named Saul is sent to search for some lost donkeys and on the way is named king of his people. The queen of a remote African realm travels for three years with her multitudinous retinue to meet the king of Jerusalem and pose him a few riddles. A man named Abraham hears a divine voice speaking words that reverberate throughout the Bible: 'Go away from your land, from your kindred and from the house of your father toward the land that I will show you'. In The Book of All Books, Roberto Calasso weaves together stories of promise and separation from one of the founding texts of Western civilisation. These tales of grace and guilt, of the chosen and the damned, cast many Biblical figures and indeed the whole book in a light as astonishing as it is disquieting. The Book of All Books is part of a larger work which began with The Ruin of Kasch (1983) and includes The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony, Ka, and The Celestial Hunter.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose. The text of this edition has been fully corrected and revised in collaboration with Christopher Tolkien and is accompanied by nineteen watercolour paintings from Alan Lee.

And then there's the hound of Hel, Garm, who's terribly difficult to shake and not at all convinced that Atticus is dead.Being tricked by a trickster is par for the course. But it's the betrayal from someone he thought was a friend that shakes Atticus to the core and places his life in jeopardy. The real trick, he discovers, might be surviving his own faked death.

Dračí doupě II (Defekt)
Dračí doupě je nejrozšířenější a nejznámější hra na hrdiny, ve které všichni končí jako vítězové a nikdo neodchází poražený. Cílem totiž není vyhrát, ale pobavit se a společně prožít příběh.

Spolu se svými přáteli se stanete udatnými reky a dobrodruhy, budete procházet cizími světy a prožívat neuvěřitelná dobrodružství.

Hrát Dračí doupě můžete kdykoliv a kdekoliv - v pokoji u stolu, ve vlaku na sedadle, o přestávce ve škole nebo v lese u táboráku.Jeden z hráčů se ujme role Průvodce hrou. Pro ostatní hráče připraví zápletku - záhadu, kterou by si přáli rozluštit, hrdinský úkol, který pro ně bude výzvou nebo třeba nebezpečí, jemuž se nečekaně ocitnou tváří v tvář. Zbývající hráči si vymyslí postavy, které chtějí ve hře představovat.Kdo nikdy nehrál žádnou hru na hrdiny, nemůže to pochopit a nemůže tomu uvěřit. Zbývá jediná možnost: zkusit projít Dračím doupětem a zažít vše na vlastní kůži.

The Fall of Gondolin (Defekt) - J. R. R. Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.
