Audiokniha: Absolutní vrchol žánru sci-fi! Původní nezkrácená verze – poprvé v České republice! Dojemný a ohromující příběh Valentina Michaela Smithe, člověka z Marsu, není jen strhujícím a zábavným vyprávěním. Jde o silné poselství o podstatě dobra a zla, o samotných zdrojích lidské činorodosti a síly. Navzdory době vzniku tohoto příběhu (1961!) jde o výsostně aktuální pohled na konání dnešního lidstva – i lidí jako jednotlivců. V románu „Cizinec v cizí zemi“ se dostanete do nitra velkolepého vyprávění, v němž jde Smithovi a jeho svobodomyslným přátelům o život. Třeba jen proto, že hrdina je díky komplikovanému pozemskému právu jediným vlastníkem Marsu. A to se byrokratické pozemské vládě vůbec nelíbí. Mimozemsky vážný Smith bere vše doslova a jaksi mimochodem odhaluje stupiditu a faleš mnoha lidských zvyků. Upřímný „Marťan“ tak ukazuje lidem, v čem nejsou tak úplně lidmi. Ponořte se do kultovní knihy, od níž se nelze odtrhnout. Velmistr žánru sci-fi, Robert A. Heinlein, nám opět dokazuje, že nezáleží na letopočtu vydání ani na rozsahu knihy. Záleží jen na síle fascinujících příběhů, a ty on uměl psát. Čeká vás plnohodnotných 26 hodin poslechu toho nejklasičtějšího příběhu, jaký žánr science-fiction kdy zplodil.

Audiokniha: Jedna z nejvýznamnějších knih zlatého věku světové sci-fi. Robert A. Heinlein nám ve své vizi pozvolného ovládnutí lidstva mimozemskými vetřelci ponechal nejen strhující zprávu o paranoidním stavu americké společnosti padesátých let, ale jeho dramatický narativ i po těch letech jako by zrcadlil naši aktuální situaci zde, ve Střední Evropě. Všudypřítomné dezinformace, dokonalé fake news, konspirační teorie, spiknutí vlád a tajných služeb a zdánlivě jednoduchá řešení složitých problémů. Ačkoli jde o napínavý, dechberoucí příběh, je v něm – jak už u Heinleina bývá zvykem – dost mrazivých námětů k zamyšlení. "Nejprve přišly zprávy o přistání létajícího talíře v Iowě. Potom dorazilo oznámení prohlašující celou věc za podvrh. Konec příběhu. Případ uzavřen. Až na to, že dva agenti nejtajnější zpravodajské agentury americké vlády z místa přistání zmizeli, aniž podali nějaké hlášení. A ztratili se i další čtyři, vyslaní později. Takže se do celé věci zapojil šéf rozvědky a dva jeho nejlepší agenti. Ti zjistili, že probíhá invaze parazitických mimozemských vetřelců, kteří dokážou pouhým dotykem převzít nad člověkem naprostou kontrolu... A to je teprve začátek.“

Audiokniha: Nejpůvabnější kniha velmistra žánru Roberta A. Heinleina stále zůstává čtivým dobrodružstvím a je po právu řazena mezi klasiku žánru sci-fi. „Byl jednou jeden kocour a ten neměl rád déšť. A sníh ho studil do tlapek. Ale choval pevné přesvědčení, že když se otevře dostatečný počet dveří, jedny přece musí vést do jasného letního dne… A protože na konci dvacátého století se pomocí hypotermie a cestování v čase dá uniknout skoro všemu – možná, že za třicet let opravdu jedny dveře povedou když ne do léta, tak alespoň do lepších časů…“ Skvělá sci-fi a snad vůbec nejčtenější román R. A. Heinleina. Vydejte se do Velkého Los Angeles – a ani se nemusíte nechat zmrazit. Robert Anson Heinlein (*1907 - 1988) Jeden z nejvlivnějších a nejkontroverznějších spisovatelů science fiction. Společně s A. C. Clarkem a Isaacem Asimovem byli v americké literatuře známi jako „Velká trojka science fiction“ (Big Three).

Before the launch Leovinus is having one last little look round and begins to find that things just aren’t right: poor workmanship, cybersystems out of control, robots walking into doors. How could this have happened?The following morning, while the galaxy’s media looks on, the fabulous ship eases away from the construction dock, picks up speed, sways a little, wobbles a bit, veers wildly and, just before it can do untold damage to everything around it, appears to undergo SMEF (Spontaneous Massive Existence Failure).

Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality-including Robert''s indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. Despite a storied career on the British and American stage-as both performer and playwright-and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert... until he was summoned to star in ''a little horror film'' called Jaws.

Audiokniha: Komentář k původní LP 1 18 2363 z roku 1978: V roce 1845 napsal Robert Browning, tehdy ještě málo známý anglický básník, mnohými považovaný za stěží srozumitelného excentrika, dopis slečně Elizabeth Barrettové, tehdy již proslulé básnířce, jejíž verše se těšily značné popularitě. V dopise ji poděkoval za to, že ve své poslední sbírce citovala s porozuměním jeho verše, a zároveň vyjádřil svůj obdiv k její poezii. Důvodem k napsání dopisu bylo v neposlední řadě i básníkovo dobré srdce - o slečně Barrettové se vědělo, že je vážně nemocná a nikdy neopouští svůj pokoj. Tento dopis, na který Elizabeth Barrettová odpověděla, měl pro život obou korespondentů dalekosáhlé následky. Začali si psát pravidelně - málo sdílný a velmi rezervovaný básník nalezl konečně někoho, komu se mohl svěřovat se svými plány, myšlenkami a záměry, a chorobně plachá žena, která se s výjimkou své rodiny stýkala se světem jen prostřednictvím korespondence, přemohla svůj ostych natolik, že o půl roku později povolila svému příteli z dopisů první návštěvu. Psali si téměř každý den po dobu půldruhého roku a napsali mimoděk (na 1200 stranách) příběh vlastní lásky, o které do poslední chvíle nevěděli, jak skončí.

No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. Hailed as ‘the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet’ by T.S. Eliot, he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes.
