Linus Baker si pokojne nažíva so svojou mačkou a zbierkou platní. Pracuje ako sociálny pracovník v Oddelení starostlivosti o zázračnú mládež, ktorý monitoruje a hodnotí sirotince pre nezvyčajné deti. Jedného dňa mu pridelia prísne tajnú úlohu. Má ohodnotiť vzdialený sirotinec, kde žije šesť nebezpečných detí vrátane Antikrista. Linus má vyhodnotiť, či skutočne dokážu zosnovať koniec sveta. No ich poručník, šarmantný a charizmatický Arthur Parnassus, je odhodlaný urobiť čokoľvek, aby svojich zverencov ochránil. Linus postupne spoznáva obyvateľov sirotinca a zisťuje, že nie všetko je tak, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá, a napokon sa musí rozhodnúť, či dá prednosť povinnostiam, alebo svojim snom. Pri tejto príjemnej a často vtipnej knihe sa môžete uvoľniť, pretože sa v nej nikdy nič zlé nestane. Je ako pohladenie na duši. Kniha pojednáva o spojení medzi ľuďmi, o vzťahoch, o tom že nie je dôležité ako človek vyzerá alebo do akej „kategórie“ spadá, ale to ako sa správa k ľuďom a ako sa ľudia správajú k nemu. Oslavuje rôznorodosť a prijímanie inakosti.

eBook: Když se chlapec – nyní muž – z domu na konci cesty vrátí, může Ox ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní? Oxovi bylo dvanáct, když mu jeho tatínek udělil velmi cennou lekci. Prohlásil, že Ox za nic nestojí a lidi ho nikdy nepochopí. Pak odešel. Oxovi bylo šestnáct, když na cestě potkal chlapce; chlapce, který mluvil a mluvil a mluvil. Ox později zjistil, že před tímto dnem chlapec nepromluvil skoro dva roky a že patří k rodině, která se nastěhovala do domu na konci ulice. Oxovi bylo sedmnáct, když odhalil chlapcovo tajemství, které zbarvilo svět okolo něj do odstínů červené a oranžové a fialové, alfy a bety a omegy. Oxovi bylo třiadvacet, když do města vtrhli vrahové a zanechali mu díru v hlavě i v srdci. Chlapec se pustil za netvorem s pomstou ve svých krvavě rudých očích a nechal Oxe, aby poskládal střípky svého života zpátky dohromady sám. Od toho osudného dne uplynuly tři roky – a chlapec je zpátky. Jenže teď je z něj muž a Ox už nemůže dál ignorovat píseň, která mezi nimi zní.

eBook: TJ Klune vás zve hluboko do srdce prapodivného lesa a na mimořádnou cestu rodiny poskládané z náhradních dílů. Ve zvláštním, nenápadném domově postaveném ve větvích stromů žijí tři roboti – otcovský vynalézavý android Giovanni Lawson, mile sadistická mechanická ošetřovatelka a malý, neurotický vysavač. A žije s nimi i Victor Lawson, člověk. Jsou jedna rodina, schovaná a v bezpečí. Poté, co Vic z blízkého šrotoviště zachrání a opraví neznámého androida s označením „HAP“, doženou Gia ozvuky temné minulosti, a to tím nejhorším možným způsobem. Stačí totiž jen jediná kapka krve z Victorovy dlaně, aby upozornila roboty z Giova předchozího života na to, kde se nachází. A zatímco se Vicův domov hroutí v plamenech, Gio je zajat a odvezen zpátky do své staré laboratoře ve Městě elektrických snů. Zbytek Vicovy nesourodé rodiny se tak musí vydat na cestu nehostinnou krajinou, aby Gia zachránil před vyřazením, nebo ještě hůř, před přeprogramováním. Cestou za záchranou Gia musí Vic, zmítaný protichůdnými pocity zrady a náklonnosti k Hapovi, učinit rozhodnutí: Dokáže přijmout lásku s podmínkami?

In the early eighteenth century, Newstead Abbey was among the most admired aristocratic homes in England. It was the abode of William, 4th Baron Byron - a popular amateur composer and artist - and his teenage wife Frances. But by the end of the century, the building had become a crumbling and ill-cared-for ruin. Surrounded by wreckage of his inheritance, the 4th Baron's dissipated son and heir William, 5th Baron Byron - known to history as the 'Wicked Lord' - lay on his deathbed alongside a handful of remaining servants and amidst a thriving population of crickets.This was the home that a small, pudgy boy of ten from Aberdeen - who the world would later come to know as Lord Byron, the Romantic poet, soldier, and adventurer - would inherit in 1798. His family, he would come to learn, had in recent decades become known for almost unfathomable levels of scandal and impropriety, from elopement, murder, and kidnapping to adultery, coercion, and thrilling near-death experiences at sea. Just as it had shocked the society of Georgian London, the outlandish and scandalous story of the Byrons - and the myths that began to rise around it - would his influence his life and poetry for posterity.The Fall of the House of Byron follows the fates of Lord Byron's ancestors over three generations in a drama that begins in rural Nottinghamshire and plays out in the gentlemen's clubs of Georgian London, amid tempests on far-flung seas, and in the glamour of pre-revolutionary France. A compelling story of a prominent and controversial characters, it is a sumptuous family portrait and an electrifying work of social history.
