Maud – Heirs to a broken age - L. L. Junior
Maud: Heirs to a Broken Age is an epic dark fantasy of gods, ruin, and redemption, set in a world where the sun has vanished and the dead do not rest.Long ago, divine beings vanished into myth. Now, they awaken—stripped of memory, scattered across a frostbitten land ruled by silence and shadow. Undead giants roam broken villages, ancient fortresses lie buried beneath snow, and hope flickers like a dying flame. Among mortals, survival is a ritual. Among gods, it is penance.As forgotten powers stir, a handful of divine heirs gather, drawn by whispers of a lost brother and the creeping corruption infecting the land. Each step they take unearths old sins and awakens deeper mysteries: Why do the dead return every night? Who sealed the sky? And what is the price of reclaiming divinity? Lyrical, dramatic, and emotionally powerful, Maud explores the blurred line between godhood and humanity, memory and myth. With richly layered characters and a world soaked in sorrow and wonder, this is a tale of fallen gods seeking to heal the land—one village, one soul at a time.For readers who crave heart with their high fantasy, Maud offers a world you will not want to leave.

The Illustrated World of Tolkien The Second Age - David Day
This volume is an in-depth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the Second Age of Middle-earth, one of the least-explored periods of Arda's history.The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age, is the follow up companion to the best-selling The Illustrated World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Numenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkien's sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.

The Age of the Vikings - Anders Winroth
A major reassessment of the vikings and their legacyThe Vikings maintain their grip on our imagination, but their image is too often distorted by myth. It is true that they pillaged, looted, and enslaved. But they also settled peacefully and traveled far from their homelands in swift and sturdy ships to explore. The Age of the Vikings tells the full story of this exciting period in history. Drawing on a wealth of written, visual, and archaeological evidence, Anders Winroth captures the innovation and pure daring of the Vikings without glossing over their destructive heritage. He not only explains the Viking attacks, but also looks at Viking endeavors in commerce, politics, discovery, and colonization, and reveals how Viking arts, literature, and religious thought evolved in ways unequaled in the rest of Europe. The Age of the Vikings sheds new light on the complex society, culture, and legacy of these legendary seafarers.

War in the Smartphone Age - Matthew Ford
An essential guide to understanding war and information on today''s data-saturated battlefields--from Ukraine to Gaza and beyond.Thanks to smartphones, war is everywhere, all the time. Anyone can view, analyse and comment on photos, videos or other warzone media. Where did this technology come from? And what does it mean for the future of war?This book explains why you see what you do on your phone, and how these devices shape our knowledge, conduct and representation of war in the 2020s. It shows why smartphones are indispensable in peace and wartime: every device is a potential weapon, lines blur between war and daily life, and conflict becomes a shared digital experience. Social media platforms displace state-controlled narratives, amplifying violence and shaping war''s legitimacy. Apps democratise conflict, enabling anyone to identify and attack perceived enemies. As the Ukraine war has shown, this new reality involves complex, unevenly distributed infrastructures, merging civilian communication with military targeting.With war accelerating beyond our comprehension, militaries have raced to benefit from and adapt to the smartphone age. Matthew Ford explores critical questions about today''s hyper-connected battlefield.

To Be Young, Gifted and Black - Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason
An impassioned defence of Black excellence in the arts.What does it mean – and how does it feel – to grow up as a Black artist today? ‘This exceptional book, written with a mother’s love for her seven creative children, sensitively offers profound and original insights and perspectives that enrich our culture. I feel so much wiser for reading it.’ Bernardine Evaristo When Kadiatu Kanneh-Mason’s eldest daughter, Isata, made her solo debut at the BBC Proms in 2023, she could not have been prouder. Watching years of hard work transform into a transcendent performance was profoundly moving, both as music-lover and parent. All fractured when her younger daughter turned to her in tears a few days later, having read online abuse about her sister. Isata, it was declared, did not deserve to be there. How do you prepare your child for the fact that no matter their talent, technique or dedication, they will be told they do not belong? Through conversations with her extraordinarily gifted family, Kanneh-Mason explores what it’s like to come of age in these turbulent times, when Black artistic self-expression is so often met with disparagement and abuse online – and offers a hopeful, powerful way through.

Sound Bites: The bendy path of classical music from Ancient Greece to today from your favourite ABC Classic presenter of Weekend Breakfast and best -
Ed Le Brocq invites you to come on a journey with him through a living tradition that spans a millennium - the tradition of Western classical music. Have you ever wondered where our music comes from? How did we arrive here, a place where we can have a hundred musicians on stage executing the wildest rhythms, a singer performing the most heartbreaking of melodies, or a solitary pianist playing an instrument that weighs half a tonne? How did the melodies and harmonies we listen to today, right now, come about? Ed Le Brocq invites you on a journey through a living tradition that spans millennia: the tradition of Western classical music. With Ed, you will roam its magnificently bendy path, from the Mesopotamians to the mediaeval age to music composed just last week by Australia's most creative minds. You will discover how notes from the Indus Valley influenced the development of scales by Pythagoras and his mates in Ancient Greece, finding their way through the Romans into church music of the Middle Ages, and why some of those notes were banned. You'll find out how the invention of clocks changed rhythm, how pianos changed society, which composer was afraid of the number thirteen (and why we should be a little afraid of their music) and which composer had two skulls in their grave. This canter through the development of one of humankind's greatest achievements will delight and exhilarate you and have you listening to music with fresh ears.

Counting Down to You - Sarah J. Harris
From the bestselling author of Meet Me on the Bridge comes a moving, feel-good novel that shows it’s never too late to look for happiness, perfect for fans of Holly Miller, Cesca Major and Rosie Walsh. Sophie can see how long people have left to live. Her first love Adam is back. And he has just 24 days to go. Ever since the accident that changed Sophie’s life, she sees numbers everywhere. From the leaves on a tree to the volume of a puddle, everything has its number. And every person she meets? Their number is counting down the number of days they have left. Despite being lonely, Sophie has decided she’s not dating anyone with a number smaller than 20,000 days: 55 years together should be plenty. Which is fine, until Adam—her first love and most definitely the one that got away—suddenly reappears. And his number? Just 24 days…Sophie has tried and failed to save lots of people in the past; she thought she couldn’t alter fate, no matter how hard she tried. But the way Adam looks at her makes her feel alive again for the first time in years. She questions everything, and a spark is lit. Could true love be powerful enough to rewrite the future? Maybe some rules are meant to be broken, and perhaps Adam is the one who will show her that not every ending is set in stone…

The Road Back to God - Joe Barnard
The Road Back to God: A Modern Man’s Journey from Darkness to LightIn an age of unprecedented religious interest among men, Joe Barnard provides a compelling roadmap for those curious about Christianity but unsure where to begin. This thoughtful guide meets men where they are—often trapped in materialistic thinking and spiritual numbness—and leads them step–by–step toward authentic faith. Unlike typical religious texts, The Road Back to God doesn’t just provide information; it offers transformation. Barnard masterfully addresses the unique challenges modern men face, from intellectual skepticism to moral uncertainty, while guiding readers through ten crucial milestones on the path to faith. Through clear prose and relatable examples, he helps men navigate questions of meaning, purpose, and spiritual truth. Whether you’re a skeptic intrigued by Christianity’s resurgence, a seeker looking for answers, or someone simply dissatisfied with modern materialism, this book offers a fresh perspective on ancient wisdom. Barnard doesn’t shy away from difficult topics like sin, holiness, and the cross, but presents them in ways that resonate with contemporary minds. This is more than a book about religion—it’s a guide to rediscovering what it means to be fully human in a fragmented world.

How to Behave Badly in Renaissance Britain - Ruth Goodman
From royalty to peasantry, every age has its bad eggs, those who break all the rules and rub everyone up the wrong way. But their niggling, anti-social and irritating ways not only tell us about what upset people, but also what mattered to them, how their society functioned and what kind of world they lived in. In this brilliantly nitty-gritty exploration of real life in the Tudor and Stuart age, you will discover:– how to choose the perfect insult, whether it be draggletail, varlet, flap, saucy fellow strumpet, ninny-hammer or stinkard– why quoting Shakespeare was very poor form – why flashing the inside of your hat could repulse someone– the best way to mock accents, preachers, soldiers and pretty much everything else besides Ruth Goodman draws upon advice books and manuals, court cases and sermons, drama and imagery to outline bad behaviour from the gauche to the galling, the subtle to the outrageous. It is a celebration of drunkards, scolds, harridans and cross dressers in a time when calling a man a fool could get someone killed, and cursing wasn’t just rude, it worked!‘Ruth is the queen of living history – long may she reign!’ Lucy Worsley

Raven Leilani''The quotidian rises to an exquisite portraiture of black womanhood in the hands of one of America''s most foundational writers.'' Claudia Rankine''Maud Martha reveals the poetry, power and splendor of an ordinary life.'' Tayari Jones''Incredible ... She is a quietly radical seer, she is literature itself, a person in the world. It’s a rare kind of perfect!'' Max PorterWhat, what, am I to do with all of this life? Maud Martha Brown is a little girl growing up on the South Side of 1940s Chicago. Amidst the crumbling taverns and overgrown yards, she dreams: of New York, romance, her future. She admires dandelions, learns to drink coffee, falls in love, decorates her kitchenette, visits the Jungly Hovel, guts a chicken, buys hats, gives birth. But her lighter-skinned husband has dreams too: of the Foxy Cats Club, other women, war. And the ''scraps of baffled hate'' – a certain word from a saleswoman; that visit to the cinema; the cruelty of a department store Santa Claus– are always there …Written in 1953 but never published in Britain, Maud Martha is a poetic collage of happenings that forms an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity, and joy.

The Lost Heirs - James W Stebbings
The name D’Oyly Carte is recognised throughout the world as a consequence of Richard D’Oyly Carte’s partnership with Gilbert and Sullivan, which produced the fourteen Savoy comic operas during the last quarter of the 19th Century. These in turn are recognised as the genesis of ‘the musical’ that is such an important part of commercial theatre today. It was the success of these operas that paved the way for D’Oyly Carte’s other achievements, building his own theatres and establishing a chain of luxury hotels that included The Savoy Hotel, Claridge’s and The Berkeley. Behind these achievements, however, lay stories of family unhappiness, strife and tragedy. In particular, it was the losses of two young potential male heirs in two generations of the D’Oyly Carte family that led to the demise of this famous family dynasty in the 20th Century. The stories behind the lives and premature deaths of these heirs are revealed in detail for the first time, set against the life of Richard D’Oyly Carte and the stormy relationship of Gilbert and Sullivan. This is a story to appeal to the world-wide enthusiasts of Gilbert and Sullivan or those coming to the subject for the first time.

Anne ze Zeleného domu - Lucy Maud Montgomeryová - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Naštěstí mám fantazii. Co asi dělají lidé, kteří ji nemají? Upovídané hubené děvčátko se zrzavými copy přijíždí na nádraží v Bright Riveru na kanadském ostrově Prince Edwarda. Co tady Anne Shirleyovou asi čeká? Dvojice stárnoucích sourozenců, kteří se rozhodli, že k sobě vezmou chlapce ze sirotčince, aby jim vypomáhal na farmě. Jenže dorazila natěšená a neústupná holčička s hlavou plnou bláznivých snů. Podaří se jí přesvědčit plachého Matthewa a praktickou Marillu, aby si ji v Zeleném domě přece jenom nechali? Bystrou myslí, přímým jednáním a nespoutanou představivostí dokáže Anne změnit život nejen sobě a svým pěstounům, ale celé vesničce Avonlea. Audioknihu opatřila původními ilustracemi malířka a výtvarnice Léna Brauner. Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874–1942) Vyrůstala na farmě u svých prarodičů v kanadském městě Cavendish na ostrově Prince Edwarda a už v devíti letech si vedla deník a psala básně. Vystudovala Prince of Wales College a získala učitelskou licenci. Poté vyučovala na různých školách, ale když v roce 1898 zemřel její dědeček, vrátila se na farmu, aby se starala o babičku. Během třinácti let, které zde strávila, se věnovala psaní a kromě kratších povídek tu vznikla i její první kniha. Rukopis však ve všech nakladatelstvích odmítli. O dva roky později obeslala nakladatele znovu a tentokrát byla úspěšnější – Anna ze Zeleného domu (Anne of Green Gables) vyšla poprvé knižně v roce 1908 a okamžitě měla obrovský úspěch. Po smrti babičky se Lucy Maud vdala a přestěhovala do Leaksdale v Ontariu, kde napsala většinu svých dalších knih (sedm pokračování životních osudů Anne, ale i další série s jiným hrdinkami jako třeba Emily of New Moon nebo Pat of Silver Bush). Anne ze Zeleného domu byla od té doby nesčetněkrát vydávána po celém světě i mnohokrát zfilmována a je považovaná za nadčasovou literární klasiku o dívčím dětství a dospívání na přelomu 19. a 20. století. Klára Sedláčková-Oltová (* 1976) Vystudovala JAMU v Brně, do Divadla v Dlouhé, v jehož souboru je stále činná, přišla na základě konkurzu. Jejím prvním hereckým partnerem v profesionálním angažmá byl Karel Roden, který ji provázel i v jejím debutu filmovém (hráli spolu v povídce Svatební košile ve filmu v Kytice). Za postavu Kristýny Fialové v Našich furiantech získala cenu za nejlepší ženský herecký výkon GRAND Festivalu smíchu v Pardubicích. Televizní diváci ji mohou znát z inscenací Draculův švagr (1996), Vřesový trůn (2006) či seriálů jako Trapasy (2007) nebo Všechny moje lásky (2015). Dále účinkovala v audioknize vydavatelství OneHotBook: Všemi dary obdarovaná (2016).

No Surrender - Constance Maud
Scarlett and Sophie Rickard present No Surrender, a graphic novel adapted from Constance Maud’s 1911 suffrage novel about English women’s rights, a classic examining of civil disobedience. Constance Maud was at the heart of the British campaign for women’s votes. Her novel No Surrender was published at the height of that struggle and used as a persuasive tool by suffragists. Hailed by Emily Wilding Davison as “a book which breathes the very spirit of our Women’s Movement,” the fast-paced story interweaves the lives of women from all classes working together to bring about change. Our hero, Jenny, is a small but fierce Lancashire textile mill worker who puts principle before everything.No Surrender is sometimes funny, sometimes violent, but always exciting and authentic. It is highly regarded as an important document of the arguments for and against extending votes to women, for its witty storytelling, and for an unflinching depiction of the rapid escalation of violence encountered by the women involved. In this faithful graphic novel adaptation, creators Scarlett and Sophie Rickard craft a compelling fiction that paints a comprehensive picture of social, political, economic, and cultural life in early 20th-century Britain that is still acutely relevant today. The graphic format is the embodiment of the suffrage rally cry of “Deeds not Words,” and this book is the perfect sister volume to their stunning adaptation of the socialist classic The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.

The History Detective Investigates: Stone Age to Iron Age - Clare Hibbert
Find out all about the first Britons, nomadic hunter-gatherers who came from mainland Europe to settle in England bringing wooden spears, flint handaxes and animals with them. Stone Age to Iron Age tells the story of how these people settled and began farming the land. They built villages of timber and stone houses such as Skara Brae on Orkney. Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous monument of this period, a technological marvel of the time built by raising over 80 blue stones to create the ''henge''. The Bronze Age bought with it metalworking using copper, tin and gold to make tools and beautiful everyday objects. The Iron Age was known for its hill forts, farming and art and culture. Contains maps, paintings, artefacts and photographs to show how early Britons lived. Ideally suited for readers age 8+ or teachers who are looking for books to support the new curriculum for 2014.

Heirs and Graces - Eleanor Doughty
There are fewer than 5000 people who can genuinely claim to be members of the British aristocracy, and yet they loom large in the popular consciousness. We''re fascinated by their houses and estates, their lives and loves, their foibles and eccentricities. And we entertain the strong suspicion that, while they may be fellow citizens, they are very far from being People Like Us.In Heirs and Graces Eleanor Doughty draws on her unparalleled access to a bewildering range of dukes, duchesses, earls and others to create a vivid picture of who they are and how they tick. En route she traces their progress from a post-war era when they and their like were described by one future Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer as ''selfish, depraved, dissolute and decadent'' to their diverse current roles as guardians of vast ancestral mansions, farmers, financiers and much else beside. She looks at key rites of passage, from cradle, via boarding school to grave. And she tells stories of their ups and downs, and of the doings of the heroes and villains who fill their ranks.The result is a wonderfully rich, often amusing, always revealing account of the fortunes of the aristocracy over the past century and a series of fascinating glimpses into what it is like to be an aristocrat in Britain today.

Anna ze Zeleného domu - Lucy Maud Montgomeryová
Farmář Matěj Cuthbert a jeho poněkud strohá sestra Marila se rozhodli, že k sobě vezmou dítě ze sirotčince - chlapce, aby jim později byl oporou v hospodářství. To ovšem netušili, že Matěj od vlaku přiveze upovídanou rusovlasou holčičku - drobnou, hubenou a bledou Annu, radostnou, upřímnou, prostořekou, temperamentní a nápaditou. Anna má za sebou bezútěšné putování od jedněch pěstounů k druhým i pobyt v sirotčinci. Je jí vlastní vyvinutý smysl pro všechno krásné, pulzuje v ní život naplněný fantazijními představami. Ocitla se u Cuthbertových sice omylem, ale přece ji nepošlou zpátky! Marila se rychle vžije do role vychovatelky a snaží se spoutat Anninu divokou fantazii i její bezelstnou touhu po všem krásném. Annin vnitřní svět a její touha po sblížení, harmonii a kráse však nezadržitelně probleskují navenek a proměňují Marilu i další románové postavy a samozřejmě i čtenáře. Autorka líčí Anniny sny a dobrodružství v lesích a na loukách kolem Zeleného domu, její přátelství i spory s místními dívkami a chlapci - to vše v mnoha zábavných i dojemných příhodách. Bezvýhradné přátelství s opatrnější a konvenčnější Dianou, která přidává (tedy aspoň většinou) k Anniným ztřeštěnostem trochu rozumu, tu má své opodstatnění. Na druhé straně střetnutí dvou výrazných povah představuje vztah Anny se zprvu nenáviděným Gilbertem. Rozesmějí nás Anniny ztřeštěnosti a pohromy, jež se jí doslova sypou na hlavu, rozlítostní odpor, který Anna kvůli své upřímnosti občas vyvolá, a jistě nás strhne volný tok krásných obrazů, osvěžující humor i dramatický spád děje. Anna je od prvního okamžiku skvělý společník čtenářské představivosti - dětské nebo dospělé (pokud si ji dospělý dokázal uchovat). Kdyby se Jane Austenová narodila o sto let později, jistě by se spřátelila se stejně skvělou autorkou Lucy Maud Montgomeryovou. Obě totiž dokáží i dnes nabídnout čistou radost ze čtení!

Make Me Famous - Maud Ventura
AN INDIE NEXT PICK“The exact thing we need right now: a fierce, fearless, and funny novel about celebrity and our almost pathological obsession with it.†—Boston Globe Daisy Jones and the Six meets Patricia Highsmith in this addictive, intense novel about the brutal and ferocious road to glory, from the award-winning author of My Husband. Ever since she was a child, Cléo, the French-American daughter of two academics, has had only one obsession: becoming a famous singer. Over the years, to everyone’s surprise but her own, she overcomes every obstacle and becomes a global superstar with millions of dollars, countless awards, and several Los Angeles villas to her name. But as any celebrity will tell you, getting to the top is one thing; staying there is another. Now thirty-three years old, Cléo is taking her first real vacation in years, on a remote island with no one else in sight. With the never-ending spin cycle of her life finally on pause and no paparazzi peeking out from behind the coconut palms, she can work on her fourth album in peace. Except that with so much time to think, she can’t help but ruminate on her past—including how, just six months earlier, things started to go very, very wrong . . . Taking place between New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and the South Pacific, Make Me Famous is a brilliant sophomore novel from Maud Ventura that dives intoxicatingly deep into the machinations of one woman’s complicated mind, and her relentless pursuit of fame.

Maud a Aud - Gunstein Bakke
Dvojčátka Aud a Maud sedí na zadním sedadle, když jejich otec ztrácí kontrolu nad vozem. Celé rodině se rázem změní život a pro matku, Ruth Boreovou, ve zlomku vteřiny všechno končí. O několik let později Aud Boreová létá nad Oslem v helikoptéře Rádia Taxi, které přináší dopravní zpravodajství. Asistuje jí osmnáctiletý Lovall, který si začne mapovat fenomén, který objeví v novinách: poklidnou cestu řidičů ohrožuje černý Mercedes, který "napodobuje" nehody - vysokou rychlostí se přiřítí na místo, kde v minulosti k nějaké nehodě došlo, avšak vyhne se tomu, aby se zopakovala. Gunstein Bakke otevírá svým románem, který kombinuje esejistické a poetické pasáže, nové perspektivy chápání silničního provozu a rovněž bourá představy o tom, co považujeme za román.
