Audiokniha: Tohle je svět krve, drápů a ostrých čepelí, svět předčasné a bolestivé smrti… Bitevní plání Vigríd, kde před staletími umírali bohové, se šíří zvěsti o válce, a tak slávychtiví jarlové i samozvaní králové svolávají své věrné. A zatímco se šikují a narychlo uzavírají nová spojenectví, pátrají po čemkoli, co by v nadcházejících bojích posílilo jejich šance. Kosti mrtvých bohů, magií nasáklá krev poskvrněných nebo obávaná monstra, jež se po pádu Snaky vyvalila z vaesenské jámy – to vše jim může v nastalém chaosu poskytnout nemalou výhodu a nakonec třeba i vytoužené vítězství. Mezitím nezlomná Orka stopuje vrahy svého muže, kteří jí unesli jediného syna, uprchlý otrok Varg se ocitá mezi Krvopřísežnými, o jejichž činech pějí skaldové u večerních ohňů, a domovem odvážné štítonošky Elvy se stává drakkar plný zuřivých válečníků. Jenže nitkám osudu odedávna vládne vyšší síla a ta má s trojicí nevšedních hrdinů vlastní plány… První díl oceňované fantasy ságy, která se odehrává v severském světě plném mýtů, magie a násilí. „Mistrovsky zpracovaná a brutálně přesvědčivá epická fantasy inspirovaná severskou kulturou.“ – Anthony Ryan, autor trilogie Stín krkavce. „Série, která je příslibem stejné míry komplexnosti a hloubky jako Kolo času Roberta Jordana nebo Píseň ledu a ohně George R. R. Martina.“ – Library Journal. „V Křivopřísežných znovu ožívá hlas hrdinské fantasy.“ – Boris Hokr, iLiteratura.cz. „John Gwynne dokázal, že písně bojovníků zaslíbených Valhale neztratily nic ze zvučnosti. Něco zachoval, jiné elementy naopak úplně převrátil a výsledek naservíroval společně s medovinou ke krvavé hostině.“ – Jiří Kábrt, XB-1. „Autor píše skvěle – a jeho emotivní, přesto však promyšlené vypravěčství, v němž se snoubí jazyk dávných ság s tím moderním, posouvá Stín bohů ve spojení s bezbřehou fantazií do hájemství knih, na které se nezapomíná a odkládají se stěží.“ – Jiří Popiolek, Pevnost. „Při psaní prvního dílu ságy Krvopřísežných jsem si užil spoustu zábavy. Severská mytologie a dějiny mě fascinují od nepaměti a tuhle sérii jim věnuju jako milostnou píseň. Když jsem v devíti nebo desíti letech otevřel převyprávění Béowulfa, hned jsem propadl oné jedinečné severské atmosféře se vší tajuplností, tragikou a temně komickým pohledem jak na bohy, tak lidi – a samozřejmě i pragmatickým řežbám epického rozsahu. Tím by se do jisté míry vysvětlovalo, proč se nyní účastním rekonstrukcí vikinských bitev a proč mě baví stát i s mými syny po boku ve štítové zdi. Tuhle knihu v zásadě inspirovali epos Béowulf a Ragnarök – střet na konci času, kdy bohové padli a svět byl přetvořen.“ – z autorova dovětku ke knize.

Audiokniha: Bohové se vracejí. A hladovějí po krvi a moci! Bájná dračí bohyně Lik-Rifa byla po staletém věznění osvobozena z magických okovů a nyní se svými poskvrněnými potomky – drakorozenými – spřádá krvelačné dobyvatelské plány. Orce pátrající po uneseném synovi zkříží cestu bývalí spolubojovníci: Krvopřísežní vedení Glórnim Lamačem Štítů, bratrem jejího zesnulého manžela Thorkela. Uprchlý otrok Varg Nerozum, kterého mezi sebe přijali teprve nedávno, záhy pozná, proč se Orce přezdívalo Drtilebka – stejně jako všichni Krvopřísežní totiž patří mezi poskvrněné a v žilách jí koluje krev vlčího boha Úlfriho. Glórniho zuřiví válečníci spojí své síly s Lítými bijci, do jejichž čela se po bitvě s Krmiči krkavců a Biórově zradě, jež stála život náčelníka Agnara Brokssona, postavila Elva prahnoucí po pomstě. Ani v této svornosti však nemohou čelit síle dračí bohyně, a tak jejich jediná naděje spočívá v nalezení knihy zakázaných kouzel, s jejíž pomocí se pokusí vzkřísit obávaného vlka Úlfriho. A přimět ho, aby bojoval po jejich boku. Druhý díl strhující fantasy ságy, jejíž autor se nechal inspirovat severskou mytologií. „Mistrovsky zpracovaná a brutálně přesvědčivá epická fantasy, inspirovaná severskou kulturou.“ – Anthony Ryan, autor trilogie Stín krkavce. „Popisovaný svět, jeho tradice i sama zápletka jsou nesmírně poutavé. Gwynne rozhodně uspěl ve snaze přijít s ještě epičtějším příběhem, než jaký nabídl v předešlém díle.“ – The Fantasy Reviews. „Vypravěčský dar Johna Gwynna spočívá v tom, že dokáže dokonale propojit akci a epickou šíři světa, v němž se jeho drsný, krutý, krvavý příběh odehrává. Vstupujeme do něj v okamžiku, kdy hrdinové řeší obří dilema – a ocitají se na rozcestí. Vědí, že život se jim právě nevratně změnil – netuší ale, že zároveň s jejich osobním zemětřesením se otřásá i celý okolní svět.“ – Pevnost. „Hlad bohů je dechberoucí, nemilosrdný mytologický příběh od vskutku mistrovského vypravěče.“ – The Fantasy Hive.

⠘Latin is it , the most wonderful thing . It is mind-enhancing, character-improving, enthralling, exciting, deeply satisfying, and valuable. My solid determination is to spare no pains to do it the justice that its importance demands.⠙Mr Gwynne, author of the Sunday Times bestselling phenomenon Gwynne⠙s Grammar, is just as emphatic about the importance of Latin as he is about the importance of grammar. From the novice to the more well-versed, Gwynne⠙s Latin is essential for anyone interested in learning Latin; Mr Gwynne promises to teach you more Latin in half an hour than you would learn from years of being taught Latin at school. He also includes a fascinating section on everyday Latin usage, which discusses all the Latin words and idioms we still use today, such as ⠘quid pro quo⠙ and ⠘sui generis⠙. Though we need no further convincing ­⠓ as we know, Mr Gwynne is never wrong ⠓ here are just some of the many reasons why Latin is utterly wonderful:- Latin is an academic subject easy enough for the least intelligent of us to grasp all the basic elements of, and yet difficult enough to be demanding for its greatest scholars.- For well over a thousand years it was the means of communication that united the whole of Europe culturally and in every other significant way.- It is the direct ancestor of, between them, the five most widely-spoken European languages, and both of the official South American languages.- It is the ancestor and source of more than half of the English language, partly directly and partly through French, which for some centuries was England⠙s official language.Following in the same beautifully designed footsteps of Gwynne⠙s Grammar, Gwynne⠙s Latin will teach you all the fundamentals of Latin quickly, thoroughly and better than all the competition.

In the tradition of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, a stunningly vivid historical account of the forty-year battle between Comanche Indians and white settlers for control of the American West, centering on Quanah, the greatest Comanche chief of them all. Empire of the Summer Moon spans two astonishing stories. The first traces the rise and fall of the Comanches, the most powerful Indian tribe in American history. The second is the epic saga of the pioneer woman Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah, who became the last and greatest chief of the Comanches. Although readers may be more familiar with the tribal names Apache and Sioux, it was in fact the legendary fighting ability of the Comanches that determined just how and when the American West opened up. Comanche boys became adept bareback riders by age six; full Comanche braves were considered the best horsemen who ever rode. They were so masterful at war and so skillful with their arrows and lances that they stopped the northern drive of colonial Spain from Mexico and halted the French expansion westward from Louisiana. White settlers arriving in Texas from the eastern United States were surprised to find the frontier being rolled backward by Comanches incensed by the invasion of their tribal lands. Against this backdrop Gwynne presents the compelling drama of Cynthia Ann Parker, a nine-year-old girl who was kidnapped by Comanches in 1836. She grew to love her captors and became infamous as the White Squaw who refused to return until her tragic capture by Texas Rangers in 1860. More famous still was her son Quanah, a warrior who was never defeated and whose guerrilla wars in the Texas Panhandle made him a legend. S. C. Gwynne s account of these events is meticulously researched, intellectually provocative, and, above all, thrillingly told.

A powerful new history of the idea of race, forcing us to rethink todayâ ™s culture wars.Is white privilege real? How racist is the working class? Why has left-wing antisemitism grown? Who benefits most when anti-racists speak in racial terms?The â ˜culture warsâ ™ have generated ferocious argument, but little clarity. This book takes the long view, explaining the real origins of â ˜raceâ ™ in Western thought, and tracing its path from those beginnings in the Enlightenment all the way to our own fractious world. In doing so, leading thinker Kenan Malik upends many assumptions underpinning todayâ ™s heated debates around race, culture, whiteness and privilege.Malik interweaves this history of ideas with a parallel narrative: the story of the modern Westâ ™s long, failed struggle to escape ideas of race, leaving us with a world riven by identity politics. Through these accounts, he challenges received wisdom, revealing the forgotten history of a racialised working class, and questioning fashionable concepts like cultural appropriation.Not So Black and White is both a lucid history rewriting the story of race, and an elegant polemic making an anti-racist case against the politics of identity.

Malik Al Nasir was born in Liverpool to mixed parentage, with a white mother and a black father. Bemused by childhood memories of racist shouts for him to â ˜go back to where you came fromâ ™ â “ he came from Liverpool after all â “ he began to look into his fatherâ ™s ancestry.This resulting book charts the twists and turns of his journey into the past and explores an untold chapter in both Black and British history. As Malik investigates his roots, he reveals a new history of the transatlantic slave trade and the role of Scottish, Dutch and English merchants.Largely set between Liverpool and Demerara, in what was British Guiana, this is a story of sugar and of the barbaric transportation and abuse of human beings that facilitated our insatiable desire for the sweet stuff.In Guyana, he discovers ancestors that had been both enslaved Africans and prominent white slaveholders. He finds himself part of a complex lineage linking slaveholdings to high sheriffs, mayors, a British Prime Minister and bankers, whose companies formed major modern-day financial institutions, some of whom have yet to acknowledge their connections to the slave trade.Announced by the University of Cambridge as the winner of the Vice-Chancellorâ ™s Global Impact Award for his research, Searching for My Slave Roots unravels not just the legacies of slavery but also plantation economics and the wealth of a slaveholding dynasty and that he himself was a descendant of thiers and those they had enslaved. A major theme of this history is the nuanced ways that trauma plays down through generations of the enslaved, and how wealth and privilege plays out across generations of slaveholders and their descendants.

Kniha - autor Heather Walter, 352 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Did they break the curse or begin one? Sleeping Beauty's dark sorceress reclaims her story in this sequel to Malice. The Dark Grace is dead. Feared and despised for the sinister power in her veins, Alyce has spent 100 years wreaking her revenge on the kingdom that made her an outcast. Once a realm of decadence and beauty, Briar is now wholly Alyce's wicked domain. No one escapes the consequences of her wrath. Not even the one person who holds her heart. Princess Aurora saw through Alyce's thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But that love came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce's vast power cannot seem to break, and their dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash. Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But...

A keepsake collection of Lord John Grey s shorter adventures and a spectacular addition to any Gabaldon fan s library, Lord John and the Hand of the Devils brings these three unique novellas together for the first time.____________Lord John and the Hellfire Club marks the first appearance of Lord John outside the Outlander novels (and chronologically precedes the novel Lord John and the Private Matter). A young diplomat is killed in the street as he begs Lord John for help. Witnessing the murder, Grey vows to avenge the young man, as the trail leads to the notorious Hellfire Club and the dark caves beneath Medmenham AbbeyIn Lord John and the Succubus, Grey s assignment as liaison to a Hanoverian regiment in Germany finds him caught between two threats: the advancing French and Austrian army, and the menace of a mysterious night-hag, who spreads fear and death among the troops. Acknowledging that he is unlikely to fall victim to a succubus, Lord John is obliged to contend with the marauding night-hag before the enemy arrives. This tale with a touch of the supernatural bridges the action between Gabaldon s two full-length Lord John tales.Finally, in Lord John and the Haunted Soldier, Lord John is called to the Arsenal at Woolwich to answer a Royal Commission of Enquiry s questions regarding a cannon that exploded during the battle of Krefeld (a central action in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade). Accusations ensue, and Lord John finds himself knee-deep in a morass of gunpowder, treason, and plot -- haunted by a dead lieutenant, and followed by a man with no face.____________Readers love Lord John and the Hand of Devils . . .***** John Grey is my spirit animal. I am such a fan of this series! ***** My eyes couldn t read fast enough!! ***** I enjoyed all three, once again became lost in the time period within seconds of starting to read....I don t know how Diana G. does it! ***** I really, really liked this trilogy of novellas that were included in this book. ***** The insight is fascinating, interesting and favourable.
