Once upon a time, humans and magical creatures all lived together in peace. Unicorns acted as kings advisers and children were friends with dragons. But it all changed when humans started to pay real fortunes to get hold of those magical creatures, and some even risked their lives to capture one. Some kind-hearted people wanted to stop this madness. But they did not succeed and, in the end, the creatures had to hide forever. This book is a collection of old tales with very special protagonists: unicorns. Kdysi dávno jsme si tu mírumilovně žili všichni pospolu. Králové si chodívali pro radu k jednorožců a děti se přátelily s draky. Všechno se ale změnilo, když se objevili lidé ochotní zaplatit celé jmění za to, aby se zmocnili kouzelného tvora, a s nimi i tací, co neváhali riskovat svůj život, aby nějakého polapili. Našli se sice dobří lidé, kteří chtěli tomuhle šílenství učinit přítrž, ale byla to marná snaha, a tak kouzelným stvořením nezbylo, než se nadobro ukrýt. Tahle kniha vytahuje na světlo staré příběhy z dávných časů, které už zavál prach. Hlavní roli hrají jednorožci a jejich přátelé.

"In Shimon Adaf''s Lost Detective Trilogy, what begins as conventional mystery becomes by degrees a brilliant deconstruction not just of genre but of our own search for meaning. Both profound and compulsively readable, these books demand to be devoured." —Lavie Tidhar, author of By Force AloneIn the summer of 2014, at the height of the Gaza-Israel conflict, Elish Ben-Zaken met the poet and librarian Nahum Farkash in the border town of Sderot. They spoke only briefly, but in that brief encounter, Elish might have missed the key to unraveling the case of a Sderot woman who disappeared for two days, only to reappear with no memory of her time away. In Take Up and Read, Shimon Adaf returns to Farkash’s story. Attempting to defend the legacy of the singer Dalia Shoshan—whose murder Elish investigated several years before—Farkash tries to impede the production of a new documentary about her life. Meanwhile, he reminisces about his past, reflecting on his experiences as a young religious boy growing up in Sderot.Fourteen years later, in a militant Israel that has been distorted by catastrophic war, Elish’s niece and nephew are haunted by their uncle’s death and the failure of his 2014 investigation. As Tahel and Oshri conduct experiments in search of the truth, they draw near to the heart of a great conspiracy. In this masterful conclusion to the Lost Detective Trilogy, Shimon Adaf brings together futuristic biotechnology, parallel universes, and Jewish mysticism. Take Up and Read addresses a central concern of the trilogy, interrogating humankind’s tenuous grasp on the boundaries of our selves, and the arbitrary connections between the body, consciousness, and perception.

''An utterly delightful book to read, Dreyer''s English will stand among the classics on how to use the English language properly.'' ELIZABETH STROUT''A complete joy. For those who care about words - and for those who don''t - Dreyer''s English is the book we have all been waiting for. Wise, funny, no-nonsense, stylish and brilliantly practical.'' RACHEL JOYCE_____________An indispensable, New York Times-bestselling guide to the craft of writing from Random House''s long-time copy chief and one of Twitter''s leading language gurus.We all write, all the time: books, blogs, tweets, emails, emails, emails - and we all want to write better. Benjamin Dreyer is here to help.As copy chief of Random House, Dreyer has upheld the standards of the legendary publisher for more than two decades. He is beloved by authors and editors alike - not to mention his followers on social media - for playfully, brilliantly deconstructing the English language. Dreyer''s English is the distillation of everything he has learned from copyediting thousands of books, the perfect guide not just for writers but for everyone who wants to put their best prose foot forward.Both authoritative and amusing, Dreyer''s English offers lessons on punctuation, from the underloved semicolon to the enigmatic en-dash; the rules and non-rules of grammar, including why it''s OK to begin a sentence with ''And'' or ''But'' and to confidently split an infinitive; and why it''s best to avoid the doldrums of the Wan Intensifiers and Throat Clearers, including ''very'', ''rather'', ''of course'', and the dreaded ''actually''. And yes: ''Only godless savages eschew the Oxford comma.''Stuffed with advice, insider wisdom, and fun facts, this book will prove to be invaluable to everyone who wants to shore up their writing skills, mandatory for people who spend their time editing and shaping other people''s prose, and - perhaps best of all - an utter treat for anyone who simply revels in language._____________This book is written in British English._____________''Benjamin Dreyer''s brilliant, pithy, incandescently intelligent book is to contemporary writing what Geoffrey Chaucer''s poetry was to medieval English: a gift that broadens and deepens the art and the science of literature'' JON MEACHAM''A fascinating guide to grammatical ''rights'' and ''wrongs'' - practical and useful'' SEBASTIAN FAULKS, SUNDAY TIMES''A pleasing read for anyone who has an appreciation for the written word.''

**A SUCCESS MAGAZINE BESTSELLER**Leadership is inspiring others to believe — and enabling that belief to become reality In Love, Hope & Leadership: A Special Edition, bestselling author Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry, offers an inspiring collection of reflections, perspectives, and pivot points that capture the moment and define how we live and lead today. Through stories and beautiful imagery, with the look and feel of a coffee table book, Love, Hope & Leadership illustrates today’s dynamic environment – while offering leadership advice for executives and professionals to consider. The book explores the attributes of what makes leadership not only personal, but also Special: Selflessness – knowing that improving an organization starts by improving ourselvesPotential – helping others exceed more than what they thought possibleEmpathy – meeting others where they are to embrace who they areConnection – adopting a horizontal mindset across communities and even societyInclusion – creating a sense of belonging by consciously including everyoneAuthenticity – ensuring others trust what we say, so they can believe in what we doLove – leading with our hearts as we seek to understand As the book chronicles: Leadership is never about the what and the how – it’s always about the who. We are all in the people business. What it takes to lead others is often found in the intangibles – the unseen that has just as much value as what is seen. Without love for other people, we cannot have love for what we do. Purpose and people are always inextricably intertwined. This is the realization that changes everything: it starts with you, but it’s not about you. Timely and thought-provoking, Love, Hope & Leadership will speak to managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and other leaders, with the reminder that hope and humanity are not luxuries, but necessities for leading in today’s world.
