Historický thriller z viktoriánské Anglie volně navazuje na úspěšný titul Mučedník.John Shakespeare opustil svět výzvědných služeb a žije se svou rodinou poklidným životem ředitele londýnské chlapecké školy. Jednoho dne je však ze své spokojené, i když poněkud nudné existence vytržen nezvyklou žádostí od samotného hraběte z Essexu, královnina oblíbence a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů říše. Je pověřen pátráním po údajně živé navrátilkyni ze záhadně ztracené zámořské kolonie Roanoke, jejíž obyvatelé před lety beze stopy zmizeli. Když ho vzápětí další z mocných mužů království, člen korunní rady Cecil, požádá, aby nabídku na oko přijal a využil ji ke sledování Essexe, zjišťuje Shakespeare, že se ocitl v pasti podivných her, intrik a úkladů, v nichž jde o samotný trůn Anglie a z nichž není úniku. Jeho protivníci jsou nemilosrdní a neváhají ke svým cílům užít takových prostředků, jako je kruté mučení či chladnokrevné vraždy. Tentokrát se navíc ve smrtelném nebezpečí ocitá nejen Shakespeare sám, ale i jeho nejbližší, včetně bratra Williama. Začíná tak boj o záchranu Anglie i vlastního života. Jakékoli selhání je nepřípustné a času se nedostává. Podaří se Shakespearovi odvrátit všechna nebezpečí a ochránit členy své rodiny? A kdo je onen tajemný Ir, který podle všeho tahá za nitky v pozadí a jehož se všichni tolik bojí? A stojí za smrtí dvou mladých lidí, jejichž těla Shakespearovi ukáže ohledávač mrtvol Peace? Druhý příběh Johna Shakespeare nás znovu zavede do alžbětinského Londýna a Anglie, v níž však moc královny Alžběty postupně slábne a upadá a panovnice se stává čím dál zranitelnější. Onoho léta roku 1592 je navíc Londýn stižen morovou nákazou. Nejsou to pro Anglii nejlepší časy. Jak je prožívají v nejvyšších šlechtických kruzích, krčmách, vězeních či mezi londýnskými astrology? To a mnohem více se čtenář dozví ve druhém, výtečně napsaném historickém thrilleru Roryho Clementse Mstitel.

Rebel Island - Clements Jonathan

The gripping story of Taiwan, from the flood myths of ancient legend to its â ˜Asian Tigerâ ™ economic miracle â ” and the looming threat of invasion by China. Once dismissed by the Kangxi Emperor as nothing but a â ˜ball of mudâ ™, Taiwan has a modern GDP larger than that of Sweden, in a land area smaller than Indiana. It is the last surviving enclave of the Republic of China, a lost colony of Japan, and claimed by Beijing as a rogue province â ” merely the latest chapters in its long history as a refuge for pirates, rebels, settlers, and outcasts. In Rebel Island, Jonathan Clements offers a concise and vivid telling of Taiwanâ ™s complex island story, beginning with the unique conditions of its archaeology before examining its indigenous history and its days as a Dutch and Spanish trading post. He delves into its periods as an independent kingdom, Chinese province, and short-lived republic, and the transformations wrought by 50 years as part of the Japanese Empire. In 1949, the island became a lifeboat for two million refugees from the Chinese Communist Revolution, and the White Terror began. Later chapters explain the recent conflicts that have emerged after the suspension of four decades of martial law, as the Taiwanese debate issues of self-determination, independence, and home rule â ” all under the watchful gaze of President Xi Jinping, and politicians around the world. Rebel Island is an essential guide to Taiwanâ ™s past and present, providing invaluable context at a time of escalating tension over its future.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Times, Sunday Times and Telegraph Book of the Year______________________________________________ A triumph ... a masterclass in the bottling of its subject⠙s seductive essence. His presence in this book is so strong that it⠙s hard to believe he has really left the building MOJO Handsomely presented, visually sumptuous THE TIMES______________________________________________From Prince himself comes the brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time⠔featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death. Prince was a musical genius, one of the most talented, beloved, accomplished, popular, and acclaimed musicians in pop history. But he wasn t only a musician⠔he was also a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of his early records to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of Paisley Park. But his greatest creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, the greatest pop star of his era. The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince⠔a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is composed of the memoir he was writing before his tragic death, pages that brings us into Prince s childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us into Prince s early years as a musician, before his first album released, through a scrapbook of Prince s writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince s evolution through candid images that take us up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book s fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain⠔the final stage in Prince s self-creation, as he retells the autobiography we ve seen in the first three parts as a heroic journey. The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring⠙s riveting and moving introduction about his short but profound collaboration with Prince in his final days⠔a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he⠙d so carefully cultivated⠔and annotations that provide context to each of the book⠙s images. This work is not just a tribute to Prince, but an original and energizing literary work, full of Prince⠙s ideas and vision, his voice and image, his undying gift to the world.______________________________________________⠘Prince⠙s voice comes through loud and clear; his personality, joie de vivre and single-mindedness jumping off the page throughout.⠙CLASSIC POP MAGAZINE The Beautiful Ones is for everyone. It s not a read, but an experience, an immersion inside the mind of a musical genius. You are steeped in Prince s images, his words, his essence⠦ The book can be a starting point for a Prince fascination, or a continuation of long-standing admiration. Either way, it will deepen the connection of any reader with the musical icon.⠝USA TODAY ⠘The Beautiful Ones remains a jewel-like fragment, Piepenbring⠙s sensitive introduction providing a snapshot of the Purple One⠙s last months at Paisley Park and during the Piano and Microphone tour⠙ Q MAGAZINE An affirmation of Prince⠙s Blackness and humanity⠦ Prince writes about his childhood with clarity and poetic flair, effortlessly combining humorous anecdotes with deep self-reflection and musical analysis⠦ Prince is one of us ⠔ he just worked to manifest dreams that took him from the North Side of Minneapolis to the Super Bowl.

Handwritten pages he had shared with Piepenbring make up Part 1, taking us from his first memory ⠔ his mother s eyes ⠔ through the early days of his career...

We ll never know what it might have been if Prince had lived. But it s a good start. Now, it s up to us to take what s there and make something out of it for ourselves, creating, just as Prince wanted. NPR Both a pleasure and a surprise ...

The Little Prince

The Little Prince is a philosophical children s book that tells the story of a young prince who travels from planet to planet, learning about life and human nature through his encounters. The story is narrated by a pilot who crashes in the Sahara Desert and meets the Little Prince, who shares his story. The central character, a young and innocent prince from Asteroid B-612, travels to various planets and learns valuable life lessons. His journey is driven by a quest for understanding and meaning. On his home planet, the Little Prince cares for a rose he loves deeply. The rose symbolizes love and beauty, as well as the complexities of relationships and attachment. The Little Prince meets a fox who teaches him about the nature of friendship and the importance of taming or forming bonds. The fox s lessons emphasize that what is essential is invisible to the eye, highlighting deeper emotional connections. The Little Prince visits several planets, each inhabited by characters like a king, a vain man, a drunkard, and a businessman. These encounters illustrate the absurdity and superficiality of adult behavior. The story explores the value of imagination and wisdom through the eyes of a child.

Patřil mezi velké dobrodruhy své doby, ale dnes je nejvíce proslulý svou filozofickou pohádkou Malý princ, kterou sám ilustroval.

Jeho setkání s růží, liškou a letcem přidává novele bohatou metaforickou rovinu a její okouzlující poetiku. Saint-Exupéryho nezaměnitelné ilustrace a nadčasové myšlenky o lidské existenci dodnes uchvacují čtenáře všech věkových kategorií a oslavují nevinnost a představivost.Saint-Exupéry zmizel v červenci roku 1944 při průzkumné misi nad Středozemním mořem, když létal pro Svobodné francouzské síly. Trosky jeho letadla byly objeveny u pobřeží Marseille až po téměř 60 letech. Co přesně se mu přihodilo, zůstává záhadou, ale jeho dílo stále okouzluje a inspiruje – vznešený odkaz pro každého spisovatele.S velkou ctí spolupracujeme s Nadací Saint-Exupéryho, abychom přenesli Malého prince do naší kolekce Embellished Manuscripts.

The History of Mary Prince - Mary Prince

The History of Mary Prince (1831) was the first narrative of a black woman to be published in Britain. It describes Prince s sufferings as a slave in Bermuda, Turks Island and Antigua, and her eventual arrival in London with her brutal owner Mr Wood in 1828. Prince escaped from him and sought assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society, where she dictated her remarkable story to Susanna Strickland (later Moodie). A moving and graphic document, The History drew attention to the continuation of slavery in the Caribbean, despite an 1807 Act of Parliament officially ending the slave trade. It inspired two libel actions and ran into three editions in the year of its publication. This powerful rallying cry for emancipation remains an extraordinary testament to Prince s ill-treatment, suffering and survival.

Originální umění: Ručně psaný rukopis a skici Malého prince od Antoine de Saint-Exupéryho Období: 1942 Region: Francie Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944) byl muž, který důvěrně znal tajemství větru, písku a hvězd. Patřil mezi velké dobrodruhy své doby, ale dnes je nejvíce proslulý svou filozofickou pohádkou Malý princ, kterou sám ilustroval. Tento nadčasový příběh vypráví o setkání ztroskotaného pilota s princem, jenž žije na asteroidu.Na této reprodukci je zachycena stránka z rukopisu Malého prince, který se stal klasikou dětské literatury a jednou z nejpřekládanějších a nejmilovanějších knih na světě. Jednoduchý, avšak hluboký příběh sleduje cestu malého prince, jenž putuje vesmírem a sbírá moudrost.Během své pouti navštěvuje různé planety a setkává se se zvláštními postavami, přičemž se dotýká témat samoty, přátelství a lásky. Jeho setkání s růží, liškou a letcem přidává novele bohatou metaforickou rovinu a její okouzlující poetiku. Saint-Exupéryho nezaměnitelné ilustrace a nadčasové myšlenky o lidské existenci dodnes uchvacují čtenáře všech věkových kategorií a oslavují nevinnost a představivost.Saint-Exupéry zmizel v červenci roku 1944 při průzkumné misi nad Středozemním mořem, když létal pro Svobodné francouzské síly. Trosky jeho letadla byly objeveny u pobřeží Marseille až po téměř 60 letech. Co přesně se mu přihodilo, zůstává záhadou, ale jeho dílo stále okouzluje a inspiruje – vznešený odkaz pro každého spisovatele.S velkou ctí spolupracujeme s Nadací Saint-Exupéryho, abychom přenesli Malého prince do naší kolekce Embellished Manuscripts.

Prince of Fortune - Lisa Tirreno

Red, White Royal Blue meets A Darker Shade of Magic in this swoony young adult romantasy debut that’s an “entertaining blend of romance and action” (Kirkus Reviews) following a magical young prince and a noble seer who fall in love in the midst of war and intrigue. Shy Prince Edmund will be a great king one day: it has been Seen again and again. With rare magic giving him dominion over the nation’s plants and weather, Edmund feels a great deal of pressure to live up to the people of Saben’s many expectations, including making a perfect diplomatic alliance through marriage. That is, until he meets Lord Aubrey Ainsley. Charming, romantic, and politically insignificant, Aubrey is a Seer, but not even he could have predicted catching the eye of Edmund, the Prince of Fortune—nor that the anxious prince who talks to plants more than people could feel so right for him. Aubrey’s dream-visions have been full of battle, not love, but to say that Prince Edmund has captured his fancy would be a grand understatement. As the two become more and more intertwined, the nation of Saben falls under attack. War and dark sorcery loom on the horizon. To save their homeland, Edmund and Aubrey must resist the outside forces seeking to drive them apart and find the power within themselves to create a future for Saben—and each other—they never could have imagined.
