Warriors of God - Andrzej Sapkowski
WARRIORS OF GOD, the second volume of the Hussite Trilogy by Andrzej Sapkowski, author of the bestselling Witcher series, depicts the adventures of Reynevan and his friends in the years 1427-28 as war erupts across Europe. Reynevan begins by hiding away in Bohemia but soon leaves for Silesia, where he carries out dangerous, secret missions entrusted to him by the leaders of the Hussite religion. At the same time he strives to avenge the death of his brother and discover the whereabouts of his beloved. Once again pursued by multiple enemies, Reynevan is constantly getting into and out of trouble. Sapkowski s deftly written novel delivers gripping action full of numerous twists and mysteries, seasoned with elements of magic and Sapkowski s ever-present - and occasionally bawdy - sense of humour.

Magické střípky - Andrzej Sapkowski
I když se Andrzej Sapkowski proslavil svým geraltovským cyklem, rozhodně se neomezuje pouze na tohoto hrdinu. Tato kniha jej představuje jako autora studie o nejznámější a nejslavnější středověké legendě o králi Artušovi a rytířích Kulatého stolu, v níž se mu úspěšně daří bořit mnohé zažité stereotypy. Na tuto studii mnohé navazuje Sapkowského osobité zpracování části artušovského mýtu v povídce Maladie. Příznivci hororů se mohou začíst do jeho romantických textů Tandaradei!, Muzikanti či Příhoda v Mischief Creeku. Výsledkem autorovy fascinace Carrolovou Alenkou v krajině divů (a kočkami) je povídka Zlaté odpoledne. A na závěr to asi nejlepší, povídka V kráteru po bombě, reflexe možného vývoje naší části Evropy po roce 1989. V této povídce, jakož i prakticky ve všem, co Sapkowski kdy napsal, se zračí autorův bytostný odpor k fanatismu a nesnášenlivosti všeho druhu.

Zaklínač - Rozcestí krkavců (Andrzej Sapkowski-Martin Finger) (MP3-CD)
Audiokniha od autora: Andrzej Sapkowski, čte: Martin Finger. Délka nahrávky: 9 hodin, 22 minut. Než se stal legendou, byl jen mladým zaklínačem hledajícím svou cestu. Toto je příběh o tom, jak vznikají legendy – a jaká je cena za její stvoření. Než se stal Bílým vlkem a Řezníkem z Blavikenu, byl Geralt z Rivie pouhým čerstvým absolventem Kaer Morhen, který vstoupil do světa, jenž jeho druhu nerozumí ani ho nevítá. A když se naivní hrdinský čin ošklivě zvrtne, Geralta zachrání před oprátkou jen Preston Holt, zkušený zaklínač s pohřbenou minulostí a vlastními plány. Pod Holtovým vedením začíná Geralt poznávat, co to skutečně znamená kráčet po stezce – chránit svět, který se ho bojí, a přežít v něm. Když se však hranice mezi dobrem a zlem začíná stírat, Geralt se musí rozhodnout, zda se stane monstrem, které v něm všichni vidí, nebo někým úplně jiným. Příběh pokračuje. Příběh nikdy nekončí.

Narrenturm - Andrzej Sapkowski - audiokniha
Audiokniha: Barvité postavy, intriky, špionáž, magie, krásné ženy a drsní muži. Co chtít víc? První díl z Husitské trilogie je skvělou směsí rytířské romance, fantasy románu a napětí, okořeněné velkou dávkou humoru od mistra polské fantasy. Píše se rok 1425, Čechami zmítá husitská revoluce a ve Slezsku se sbírá katolické vojsko ke křížové výpravě. Geralt z Rivie brousí své meče... tedy pardon, to je z předchozí knihy. Mladý, naivní a věčně zamilovaný medik a čaroděj-amatér Reinmar z Bělavy začíná své neuvěřitelné dobrodružství v náručí krásné Adély von Sterza. Historický fantasy román Narrenturm, který je pro svou hravost, překvapivé zvraty, historickou věrnost a všudypřítomný sžíravý humor považován za možná to nejlepší, co kdy Sapkowski napsal. S dalšími díly, Boží bojovníci a Lux Perpetua, tvoří tzv. Husitskou trilogii, známou i jako Sága o Reinmarovi z Bělavy.

Audiokniha: Zaklínač Geralt z Rivie putuje světem, aby bojoval proti nestvůrám, temným bytostem, upírům a vlkodlakům a chránil obyčejné lidi. Je obdařen vlastnostmi, o nichž se běžným smrtelníkům ani nesní. Dráha zaklínače však není volbou, ale osudem. A výjimečné dovednosti bývají draze vykoupeny vyhnanstvím na okraji vrtošivé lidské společnosti. Život Zaklínače je proto někdy tesknou bojovou písní, kterou však stojí za to dozpívat až do samého konce. Výbor napínavých povídek Andrzeje Sapkowského obsahuje Prolog z knihy Zaklínač I.

Zaklínač II: Meč osudu - brož. (4. vydání) - Andrzej Sapkowski
Sedm příběhů zaklínače Geralta. Meč osudu je několikátou povídkovou sbírkou o Geraltovi, trubadúrovi Marigoldovi čarodějce a Yennefer, kde se jejich osudy všemožně kříží a rozpojují, aby se nakonec všichni opět setkali.Hlavním hrdinou tvorby Andrzeje Sapkowského je zaklínač Geralt z Rivie. Jako nájemný hubitel upírů, vlkodlaků a všemožných nebezpečných netvorů pochopitelně ovládá bojové a magické techniky nezbytné pro své zaměstnání. Nicméně není pouze chladnokrevným profesionálem, a už vůbec ne jedním ze superhrdinů, jimiž se žánr fantasy jen hemží. Postupně vychází najevo, že neměl možnost si svůj osud svobodně zvolit, ale naopak je nucen draze platit za schopnosti a dovednosti nedosažitelné a vesměs též nepochopitelné běžným smrtelníkům. Proto vyvolává strach a zároveň nevraživost a odpor těch, jejichž životy vlastně chrání. Přes své pozitivní působení jsou zaklínači odsouzeni k vyhnanství na samém okraji společnosti, která sice působí vnějškově středověkým dojmem, avšak mnoho jejich atributů je převzatých ze současnosti.
