Kobra - Frederick Forsyth - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Mistr politického thrilleru Frederick Forsyth opět ve skvělé formě! Mladík, který umírá ve washingtonské čtvrti Anacostia, by se ani v nejmenším nenadál, že jeho smrt vyvolá novou válku mocností. Tentokrát však nepůjde o politiku, o vojenskou převahu ani o zdroje surovin, tentokrát půjde o prostý bílý prášek zvaný kokain. Na jedné straně neúprosný a pohádkově bohatý kolumbijský Kartel, který pašuje stovky tun této omamné látky na americké a evropské trhy, na straně druhé supertajný projekt s krycím názvem Kobra, který mu má jeho nekalou činnost překazit. „Je vůbec možné kokainový průmysl zničit?“ ptá se americký prezident šéfa tohoto tajného projektu. A Frederick Forsyth ve svém novém románu přináší odpověď.

Anglické listy - Karel Čapek - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Humorný cestopis bystrého pozorovatele.Soubor fejetonů, které psal Karel Čapek pro Lidové noviny, když v roce 1924 pobýval dva měsíce v Anglii. Čapkův pozorovatelský a spisovatelský talent dělá z Anglických listů skutečný cestopisný klenot.Čapkův jedinečný pozorovatelský a spisovatelský talent dělá z Anglických listů skutečný klenot, který vykouzlí na tváři úsměv. S nejslavnějším českým spisovatelem se vydáme na procházku Londýnem, jeho parky, muzei, galeriemi, obchody a gentlemanskými kluby, oceníme jeho postřehy z Walesu, Irska a Skotska. Nelze se ubránit srovnání, co všechno se od doby, kdy Čapek Spojené království navštívil, změnilo. Mnohé jistě ano, ale Čapkův humanismus, který věnuje stejný respekt britskému lordovi, strážníkovi řídícímu dopravu nebo otrhanému pouličnímu řečníkovi v Hyde Parku, zůstává stále platný. Čapkovi se detailně a vtipně podařilo zachytit i životní styl Angličanů: „Anglická kuchyně je dvojího druhu: dobrého a prostředního. Dobrá anglická kuchyně je prostě francouzská kuchyně; prostřední kuchyně v prostředním hotelu pro prostředního Angličana vysvětluje do velké míry anglickou zasmušilost a zamlklost. Nikdo nemůže zářit a trylkovat, žvýkaje pressed beef potřený ďábelskou hořčicí... Člověk počíná chápat jeho uzavřenost, vážnost a přísné mravy.“

Italské listy - Karel Čapek - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Není to cestopis v pravém slova smyslu. Jsou to spíše cestopisné fejetony nebo sloupky z dvouměsíční cesty Karla Čapka po slunné Itálii, kde sepisuje své postřehy o zvláštnostech, zvycích a životním stylu Italů mezi dvěma světovými válkami. Fejetony jsou protkané kulturně historickými podněty, suverénní hrou s ironií a jazykovým humorem. Čapek zde nenuceně přechází od věcí trvalých k okamžitým dojmům, střídá detaily a žánrové obrázky, konfrontuje nejslavnější památky s momentkami z ulice. Mistrně kombinuje názory poučeného cestovatele s výkladem jakoby naivním. Výsledkem je jeden z nejosobitějších pohledů na Itálii.

Murderers - Frederick George Loring, Mary Eleanor Wilkinsová Freemanová - audiokniha

Audiokniha: The fourth step into the Darkness is called Murderers, and it takes the listener into the realm of vampire stories and haunted houses. The first – The Tomb of Sara – was written by English navy officer, and writer, Frederick George Loring. It was one of the very first stories from the last century featuring a lady vampire. The feminine element represents the connection with Luella Miller by Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman. The inhabitant of a haunted house sucks life out of everyone who gets interested in her – and the atmosphere gets denser throughout the story. This relatively short story is incredibly touching, and you will remember it for a long time. The atmosphere builds up thanks to well-chosen voices, music, and graphics.

The Elements of Eloquence - Mark Forsyth

Mark Forsyth presents the secret of writing unforgettable phrases, uncovering the techniques that have made immortal such lines as ‘To be or not to be’ and ‘Bond. James Bond.’ In his inimitably entertaining and witty style, he takes apart famous quotations and shows how you too can write like Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde or John Lennon. Crammed with tricks to make the most humdrum sentiments seem poetic or wise, The Elements of Eloquence reveals how writers through the ages have turned humble words into literary gold – and how you can do the same. ‘An informative but highly entertaining journey through the figures of rhetoric … Mark Forsyth wears his considerable knowledge lightly. He also writes beautifully.’ David Marsh, Guardian Mark Forsyth is a blogger and author who was given a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary as a christening present and has never looked back. In 2009 he started the Inky Fool blog in order to share his heaps of useless information with a verbose world.

Jinchalo - Matthew Forsythe

From the author of Ojingogo, another tale of enchantment and adventureJinchalo is Korean for "Really?" and that question (formulated variously as "What is and what isn''t?" "What is real?" and "What is imagined?") is at the heart of this book. A companion to Matthew Forsythe''s vastly successful Ojingogo, Jinchalo stars the same little girl as its heroine. When the mischievous shape-shifter Jinchalo hatches from a mysterious egg, he starts our heroine adventuring anew. Magical troubles drag the pair out of the safety of her home, through the small village where she resides, up, up, and away. In the course of their flight, they visit a robot garden, follow a vine into the clouds, and leave the village far behind.These comics are firmly rooted in Korean folktales and stylistic conventions, with a playful, joyous drawn line. Jinchalo welcomes readers back into Forsythe''s Miyazaki-tinged dreamscape where spotted octopi fly and bears give piggyback rides, where hummingbirds are larger than people and a sad furry monster wearing a bowler hat lurks around every corner. Forsythe uses page space innovatively in this wordless, panel-less book, and his storytelling is compelling for all ages, both simple and intricately detailed.

Frederick the Great - Blanning Tim

''Highly readable and deeply researched'' - Andrew Roberts ''Masterful ... brilliantly brings to life one of the most complex characters of modern European history'' - Sunday Telegraph''It is sure to be the standard English-language account for many years. It instructs; it entertains; and it surprises'' - Philip Mansel, The SpectatorFrederick the Great, King of Prussia, dominated the eighteenth century in the same way that Napoleon dominated the start of the nineteenth. He was a force of nature, a ruthless, brilliant, charismatic military commander, a monarch of exceptional energy and talent, a gifted composer, performer, poet and philosopher, and a discerning patron of artists, architects and writers, most famously Voltaire. From the very start of his reign he was an intensely divisive figure - fascinating even to those who hated him.Tim Blanning''s brilliant new biography captures Frederick''s vitality, complexity and flawed genius better than any previous writer. He also recreates a remarkable era, the last flowering of the old regime that would be swept away almost immediately after Frederick''s death by the French Revolution. Equally at home on the battlefield or in the music room at Frederick''s extraordinary miniature palace of Sanssouci, Blanning draws on a lifetime''s immersion in the eighteenth century to present him in the round, with new attention paid to his cultural self-fashioning, including his sexuality. Frederick''s spectre has hung over Germany ever since, both as inspiration and warning - Blanning at last allows us to understand him in his own time.

Narrative of Frederick Douglass - Frederick Douglass

A new edition of the classic African American autobiography, now with with the inclusion of Douglass''s other works.The pre-eminent American slave narrative published in 1845, the Narrative powerfully details the life of the abolitionist Frederick Douglass from his birth into slavery in 1818 to his escape to the North in 1838: how he endured the daily physical and spiritual brutalities of his owners and drivers, how he learned to read and write, and how he grew into a man who could only live free or die.Also included in this edition are Douglass''s famous oration The Meaning of the Fourth of July to the Negro and his only known work of fiction, the novella The Heroic Slave.Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born into slavery in 1818 in Tuckahoe, Maryland. He changed his surname to Douglass to conceal his identity after escaping slavery in 1838 and making his way to Philadelphia and New York. Having been taught to read by the wife of one of his former owners, Douglass wrote later that literacy was his ''pathway from slavery to freedom'', and in 1845 he published his instantly bestselling Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Renowned as the foremost African American advocate against slavery and segregation of his time, he repeatedly risked his own freedom as an antislavery lecturer, writer and publisher. He died in Washington, D.C., in 1895, and after lying in state in the nation''s capital, was buried in the Mount Hope Cemetery in Rochester, New York.Ira Dworkin is Associate Director of the Prince Alwaleed Center for American Studies and Research and Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at The American University in Cairo.

The Prussian Army of Frederick the Great, 1740-1786 - Gabriele Esposito

Frederick the Great was an acknowledged master of war. Admired and studied by Napoleon, he commanded the Prussian army at sixteen major battles and numerous sieges and other actions, often leading from the front. Under Frederick the Prussian Army became arguably the most feared and efficient in Europe, often defeating numerically superior forces. Gabriele Esposito details the organization, uniforms and equipment of the various branches of service that made up the Prussian Army. Starting with the infantry, whose incredible discipline and excellent training made them the backbone of Frederick''s forces he details the famous Guards and the line regiments but also the light infantry jagers and even little-known garrison and auxiliary units. Equal attention is given to the cavalry: Guards, cuirassiers, dragoons, lancers and hussars. There is also a chapter devoted to the ''technical corps'' of artillery, pioneers and the like, and there are chapters on the mercenary ''freikorps'' and Frederick''s German allies. The whole is lavishly illustrated with beautiful colour plates.

Audiokniha: Ve čtvrtém kroku k temnotě s názvem Vrazi se posluchač přenese do hájemství příběhů o upírech a strašidelných domech. Prvním z nich je Sářina hrobka anglického námořního důstojníka a spisovatele Fredericka George Loringa. Není bez zajímavosti, že její první překlad do češtiny vyšel knižně až v roce 2010, tedy o celé století později, než byla vydána. Jde o jednu vůbec prvních povídek minulého století, v níž nefiguruje upír, ale upírka. A ženské pohlaví hlavní hrdinky představuje spojnici s Luellou Millerovou od americké autorky Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freemanové. V této povídce hrdinka, obyvatelka strašidelného domu, doslova vysává život z každého, kdo o ni projeví zájem. A postupem času atmosféra houstne. Relativně krátký příběh má neuvěřitelnou hloubku a bude vám rezonovat v hlavě ještě dlouho poté, co si jej poslechnete. Obě povídky čte Petr Šmíd, přičemž Luellu Millerovou společně s Martou Dancingerovou.

Three African American Classics - Bois William Pée Du, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington

"Throughout his long career, Frederick Douglass cut an imposing figure, renowned as an impassioned abolitionist, a fiery writer and newspaper editor. He was a great public speaker, who became a one-man crusade for black liberation." - Robert McCrum, The Guardian."It is difficult to think of anyone, at any time, who examined the race problem in its many aspects more profoundly, extensively, and subtly than W. E. B. Du Bois." - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy."I knew that, in a large degree, we were trying an experiment--that of testing whether or not it was possible for Negroes to build up and control the affairs of a large educational institution. I knew that if we failed it would injure the whole race." ―Booker T. Washington.Three African American Classics contains three of the most significant works of African American literature by three authors who led vastly different lives. In Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass (1818-1895), a runaway slave, describes the horrors and humiliations of slavery, his escape, and his journey to becoming one of America''s great statesmen and orators. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), born into slavery, was freed at the age of nine at the end of the Civil War. Until his first day at school he was known only by the name "Booker," but to be like all the other children, he quickly added "Washington," beginning his non-confrontational approach to self-advancement. Up from Slavery describes his childhood as a slave, his dogged pursuit of education, his founding of the Tuskegee Institute, now Tuskegee University, his work promoting educational and business opportunities for former slaves, and as an advisor to several US presidents.The Massachusetts-born, Harvard-educated W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963) begins The Souls of Black Folk with the prescient phrase: "the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the colour line." Lyrically and poetically written, The Souls of Black Folk is a seminal work in the history of sociology and a cornerstone of African-American literature. It is a profound examination of race in America, drawing on both Du Bois''s academic training and his personal experience as an African American in the United States. The Souls of Black Folk has been called "the political Bible of the Negro race."This edition is set in an easy to read 11-point font.

Díky šťavnatému, živému jazyku, osobitému koloritu a přesvědčení o harmonickém vztahu mezi přírodou a člověkem zůstává i dnes Liška Bystrouška otevřená posluchačům všech generací. Jedinečné podání Arnošta Goldflama je plné nadčasového humoru, nadhledu a porozumění pro neřesti lidské, stejně jako zvířecí, s nímž glosuje život v lese i mezilidské vztahy.

'I Was Transformed' Frederick Douglass - Laurence Fenton

In the summer of 1845, Frederick Douglass, the young runaway slave catapulted to fame by his incendiary autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, arrived in Liverpool for the start of a near-two-year tour of Britain and Ireland he always called one of the most transformative periods of his life. Laurence Fenton draws on a wide array of sources from both sides of the Atlantic and combines a unique insight into the early years of one of the great figures of the nineteenth-century world with rich profiles of the enormous personalities at the heart of the transatlantic anti-slavery movement. This vivid portrait of life in Victorian Britain is the first to fully explore the ‘liberating sojourn’ that ended with Douglass gaining his freedom – paid for by British supporters – before returning to America as a celebrity and icon of international standing. It also follows his later life, through the American Civil War and afterwards.Douglass has been described as ‘the most influential African American of the nineteenth century’. He spoke and wrote on behalf of a variety of reform causes: women’s rights, temperance, peace, land reform, free public education and the abolition of capital punishment. But he devoted most of his time, immense talent and boundless energy to ending slavery. On 14 April 1876, Douglass would deliver the keynote speech at the unveiling of the Emancipation Memorial in Washington’s Lincoln Park.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (Hero Classics) - Frederick Douglass

Part of the Hero Classics series“Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.”Douglass cultivated himself to such an extent that the listeners of his lectures doubted if his narratives were true. His autobiography is both a compelling tale of a slave and a contribution to the public discourse on slavery. His language is poetic and precise honed in its simplicity as if something artificially put together but immensely natural at the same time. Opening this book is opening the door into Douglass''s consciousness and tracking his inner journey of finding himself in the world: a story of his childhood and youth – a long and laborious path to freedom. Douglass talks about the explicit punishments and tortures that slaves were exposed to. Despite the suffering, he emphasizes the power of self-education and continuous resistance that pushes one to fight their predicament. The publication of this book was such an unprecedented event that the author had to leave the US for Europe for about two years. The fact that Douglass''s experience and meditations were issued in print gave him a wider audience, not restricting dissemination of his beliefs to those who could physically come to his public speeches.The Hero Classics series: Meditations The Prophet A Room of One’s Own Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl The Art of War The Life of Charlotte Bronte The Republic The Prince Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave

The Ultra Spy - Frederick William Winterbotham CBE

Few people had a career that spanned two world wars and which involved some of the most dramatic and dangerous moments of the 20th century. Group Captain Frederick Winterbotham CBE, however, was one of them. Following the outbreak of war in the summer of 1914, a young Frederick, then still just 17 years old and only freshly back from a trip around the world, enlisted in the ranks of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars Yeomanry. Soon, though, Winterbotham’s thoughts turned in a new direction – and a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps followed. Having gained his pilot’s ‘Wings’, Winterbotham was posted to 29 Squadron, then on the Western Front in France, in April 1917. Early in 1930, Winterbotham rejoined the Air Staff with the official duties of a liaison officer; unofficially he was to operate an Air Department in Britain’s Secret Service. It was in this role that, in the 1930s, he made a number of visits to Germany where he undertook a valuable intelligence and high-level espionage role among many of the top Nazis – meetings that he reveals here in dramatic detail. These encounters included Hitler himself. During the war Winterbotham was based at Bletchley Park and reported directly to the head of MI6, Sir Hugh Sinclair, as well as his successor, Sir Stewart Menzies. He was subsequently appointed as the organisation’s deputy and tasked with safeguarding the distribution and use of top secret intelligence throughout the Allied forces, which included the Enigma and Ultra transcripts. So important was this work, that Winterbotham would often report information they contained directly, and personally, to Winston Churchill. Winterbotham remained an unsung war hero, because the cracking of Enigma was considered so secret it was not revealed for some thirty years after the war, when he published his best-selling book The Ultra Secret. This autobiography is the story of one man’s remarkable service to his nation through two world wars.

Magic Architecture - Frederick Kiesler, Spyros Papapetros

The first publication of artist and architect Frederick Kiesler’s epoch-spanning history of human architecture, largely unknown but still relevant.Magic Architecture was the architect Frederick Kiesler’s most ambitious book project, an epoch-spanning history of human housing from prehistory to the atomic era—and yet it was never published, as Kiesler moved on to other exhibitions and projects. Kiesler’s comparative exploration of the quasi-“magical” effects of atomic technology and contemporary telekinetic military systems and the alternative epistemology of “magic” practices associated with cave drawings and protohistoric subterranean settlements reflects his profoundly interdisciplinary perspective on the evolution of art, architecture, and design.This edition preserves Kiesler’s conception of the book as a neo-Vitruvian Renaissance treatise divided into ten parts or books that narrate an alternative history and theory of architecture. Also included are sixty composite illustrations, cut and pasted from books and popular science journals, with elaborate captions. The editors have reassembled the book’s text and illustrations from archival material, supplementing them with notes that document the evolution of the work. Introductory essays provide a chronology of Kiesler’s research and an interpretation of key themes. Appendixes offer additional textual and visual material gathered by Kiesler for the project.

Jak se plaší smrt - Antonín Liška - audiokniha

Audiokniha: Svoje válečné prožitky publikoval Antonín Liška v knihách Stíny na obloze, Jak se plaší smrt a Cesty mužů. Zvláště druhá z nich je považována za jednu z nejlepších knih o československých letcích bojujících v Anglii.Někdy je dokonce srovnávána se slavnými Nebeskými jezdci Filipa Jánského v tom smyslu, že zatímco Jánský vytvořil literární pomník československým bombardovacím letcům, tak Antonín Liška prokázal touto knihou čest svým kamarádům stíhačům.Liška líčí život skupiny našich stíhacích letců za druhé světové války na letišti ve Whitehillu, a to jak ve vzrušujících okamžicích vzdušných soubojů, kdy o životě rozhodují zlomky vteřiny a vítězí ten, kdo lépe zvládl zbraň, tak i ve chvílích odpočinku.Přestože se nejedná vysloveně o memoárové dílo, jednotlivé příběhy mají své reálné předobrazy. Velký důraz je v románu kladen právě na osobní rovinu zúčastněných hrdinů. Piloti zde prožívají souboje nejen za kniplem Spitfiru, ale především sami se sebou.Čte: Martin Hruška

Heinkel He162 Volksjager - Mr Robert Forsyth

If it can be said that adversity generates creativity, then the story of the Heinkel He 162 jet fighter is testimony to such a precept. From the summer of 1944, the adversity facing the leadership of the Third Reich was formidable. Ironically however, the very existence of such adversity prompted many inventive and radical designs for the prosecution of the air defence of the Reich on a determined and even manic scale.In the closing months of the war, at a time the Allies had assumed that they had mastered the Luftwaffe jet menace, the combined efforts of a leading German aircraft manufacturer - Ernst Heinkel AG - and a small team of dedicated civilian and military specialists achieved an almost unbelievable feat: the production of a new, jet-powered interceptor from concept, through development and testing, to operational readiness in just six months. The accomplishment of the so-called Volksjäger (the `People''s Fighter'') project was - and still is - regarded as a `miracle of production''.In this extensively researched book, aviation historians Robert Forsyth and Eddie J Creek, draw, for the first time, on previously unused Heinkel company papers to offer a unique insight into the workings of the Nazi production system in the late-war period, as well as other German and Allied documents. Their work is supported by many rare photographs and accompanied by line drawings and facsimile documents as well as highly detailed colour artwork by He 162 specialist, Simon Schatz.This is the most comprehensive history of this fascinating aircraft to be published in the English language and is a natural accompaniment to the other detailed German aircraft monographs published by Classic Publications. It will form an essential reference work to all those interested in the airpower of the Second World War.

B-26 Marauder vs Me 262 - Robert Forsyth

An illustrated account of the clashes between the Luftwaffe’s Me 262, the first operational jet fighter, and the USAAF’s B-26 Marauder bomber during the final months of the war in Europe.As the world’s first jet-engined fighter aircraft, the Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Me 262 heralded a new dawn in design, performance, and combat capability upon its operational debut in 1944, outclassing its Allied counterparts for both speed and firepower. The skies over Austria and southern Germany saw the Me 262 enter savage aerial clashes as fighter ace Adolf Galland’s JV 44 engaged three USAAF bomber groups, targeting their formidable – but ill-prepared – Martin B-26 Marauders with often devastating results.In this dramatic new study, Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth examines how USAAF crews in twin-engined Marauders endeavoured to fulfil their bombing missions while jet pilots in Me 262s attacked with 30 mm MK 108 nose-mounted cannon and, eventually, 55 mm R4M air-to-air rockets. First-hand accounts, newly commissioned artwork and archive photography enhance the fascinating and action-packed story of these two aircraft and the fearsome combat that was waged between them.

Defenders of the Reich - Robert Forsyth

The story of the Luftwaffe fighter arm’s desperate defence of the Third Reich from the growing Allied bomber offensive in World War II.The Reichsverteidigung (Defence of the Reich) was a do or die campaign that saw the very best fighter pilots in the Luftwaffe attempt to defend German skies from increasingly large formations of RAF and USAAF medium and heavy bombers. Flying both piston-engined and, eventually, the first jet-engined fighters to see operational service, the Jagdflieger employed a wide range of weapons and tactics in an effort to blunt the Allied air offensive across Nazi Germany and Occupied Europe. Defenders of the Reich focusses on the story of the pilot, his aircraft, his weaponry, his draining, dangerous missions and Luftwaffe tactics against the USAAF and the RAF bombers from the summer of 1942 through to VE Day. They fought until they were all but obliterated as USAAF and RAF fighters decimated their ranks in the air and targeted their airfields in devastating strafing attacks.leading Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth uses German and Allied archival documents coupled with interviews with former Jagdwaffe pilots, to tell the history of this last-ditch aerial campaign from the perspective of the Luftwaffe.

To Save An Army - Robert Forsyth

Using the diaries of Luftwaffe commanders, rare contemporary photographs and other previously unpublished sources, Robert Forsyth analyzes the human, strategic, tactical and technical elements of one of the most dramatic operations arranged by the Luftwaffe.Stalingrad ranks as one of the most infamous, savage and emotive battles of the 20th century. It has consumed military historians since the 1950s and has inspired many books and much debate. This book tells the story of the operation mounted by the Luftwaffe to supply, by airlift, the trapped and exhausted German Sixth Army at Stalingrad in the winter of 1942/43.The weather conditions faced by the flying crews, mechanics, and soldiers on the ground were appalling, but against all odds, and a resurgent and active Soviet air force, the transports maintained a determined presence over the ravaged city on the Volga, even when the last airfields in the Stalingrad pocket had been lost.Yet, even the daily figure of 300 tons of supplies, needed by Sixth Army just to subsist, proved over-ambitious for the Luftwaffe which battled against a lack of transport capacity, worsening serviceability, and increasing losses in badly needed aircraft.Using previously unpublished diaries, original Luftwaffe reports and specially commissioned artwork, this gripping battle is told in detail through the eyes of the Luftwaffe commanders and pilots who fought to keep the Sixth Army alive and supplied.

Me 262 Units in Combat - Robert Forsyth

An illustrated account of the first jet-powered combat aircraft, the Messerschmitt Me 262, and its short but action-packed career during World War 2.Powered by the Jumo 004 jet engine, the Me 262 outclassed anything the Allies had in terms of speed and firepower, offering, as an interceptor, a formidable punch with four 30 mm MK 108 nose-mounted cannon. Such a blend of armament and speed allowed the Me 262A-1a not just to inflict carnage on the Allied heavy bomber formations, but also to evade their fighter escorts – even the later marks of Spitfire and the formidable American P-51 Mustang.In this new study, Luftwaffe historian Robert Forsyth utilises first-hand accounts from Me 262 pilots to chronicle actions against Allied bombers and their escorts, as well as detailing hit-and-run bomber attacks on road junctions, Allied airfields, vehicle columns, troop assemblies and supply dumps. All of these aspects of the Me 262 are enhanced by vivid illustrations, including archival photographs and specially commissioned profile artworks.

Jihofrancouzská Provence na něho dýchala nostalgií dětství. Alphonse Daudet (1840-1897) proslul jako prozaik a dramatik. Střídal pobyty v Paříži a v rodné Provenci v okolí Arles a mlýna Fontvielle. Slávu mu zajistila básnická sbírka Zamilované (1858), ale úspěch Listů z mého mlýna jej přivedl k próze. Jeho další úspěšnou knihou byla humoristická trilogie o postavě Tartarina z Tarasconu. Daudetův svěží styl se stal jedním ze vzorů francouzské moderní prózy.Účinkují: Karel Höger, Felix Le Breux, Josef Vošalík, Miroslav Homola, Rudolf Pellar, Karel Urbánek, Antonín Zíb, Eduard Kohout, Josef Gruss, Soběslav Sejk, Jaromír Spal, Vladimír Hlavatý, Irena Kačírková, Otomar Korbelář, František Filipovský a Josef Bejvl.
