This is the "Penguin English Library Edition" of "The Man Who Was Thursday" by G. K. Chesterton. '"A man's brain is a bomb," he cried out, loosening suddenly his strange passion and striking his own skull with violence. "My brain feels like a bomb, night and day. It must expand! It must expand! A man's brain must expand, if it breaks up the universe".' In a park in London, secret policeman Gabriel Syme strikes up a conversation with an anarchist. Sworn to do his duty, Syme uses his new acquaintance to go undercover in Europe's Central Anarchist Council and infiltrate their deadly mission, even managing to have himself voted to the position of 'Thursday'. When Syme discovers another undercover policeman on the Council, however, he starts to question his role in their operations. And as a desperate chase across Europe begins, his confusion grows, as well as his confidence in his ability to outwit his enemies. But he has still to face the greatest terror that the Council has: a man named Sunday, whose true nature is worse than Syme could ever have imagined..."

eBook: Most books of literary criticism are written long after their age has passed, but a rare few are written during their time - and G. K. Chesterton's 'The Victorian Age in Literature' is one of them. Born during the Victorian era, Chesterton gives an incredible insight into Victorian literature as it was perceived at the end of the 19th century. His witty accounts shine a light on the classic works of Dickens, Austen, and the Brontës, as well as leading poets of the period, from Tennyson to Browning. His discussion ranges from the politics of the day to the birth of radical philosophies and revelations within the sciences. Chesterton's work is a refreshingly personal look into the Victorian mind and an invaluable resource for any student of literary history.-

eBook: Chesterton gives his remarkably perceptive analysis on social and moral issues more relevant today than even in his own time. In his light and humorous style, yet deadly serious and philosophical, he comments on feminism and true womanhood, errors in education, the importance of the child and other issues, using incisive arguments against the trendsetters' assaults against the family. Chesterton possessed the genius to foresee the dangers if modernist proposals were implemented. He knew that lax moral standards would lead to the dehumanization of man, and in this book he staunchly defends the family, its constituent elements and character over against those ideas and institutions that would subvert it and thereby deliver man into the hands of the servile state. In addressing what is wrong, he also shows clearly what is right, sane and sensible and how to change things in that direction.

It''s certainly not just about the shopping; these thoroughfares are often the beating heart of our towns and cities and, by extension, of the people who use them.

Historian Annie Gray takes us down the street and through the ages, from medieval marketplaces to the purpose-built concrete precincts of the twentieth century. Peeping through the windows of tailors, tearooms and grocers, we explore everything from the toyshops of yesteryear - where curiosities were sold for adults, not children - to the birth of brands we shop at today.Vibrant and enticing, The Bookshop, The Draper, The Candlestick Maker is an essential reflection on how we shopped and lived in days gone by - and what the future may bring.

''The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.''When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siécle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian''s slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay.Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde''s only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale, it has been denounced by others for its implicit immorality. Combining elements of the supernatural, aestheticism, and the Gothic, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unclassifiable and uniquely unsettling work of fiction.

Chestertonova dnes už klasická romantická „Ortodoxie“ je osobní i univerzální obhajobou zdravého rozumu, hlubokého smyslu lidské existence, demokracie a vznešeného poslání Západní civilizace. Jeho zábavná a veselá polemika s morbidními kazisvěty té doby, kterých za sto let od napsání ješte přibylo, je návodem k aktivnímu, dobrodružnému a barvitému životu plnému fantazie. Mistr paradoxu mluví o „potřebě spojovat důvěrně známé s neznámým (s tajemnem) a dívat se na svět tak, abychom měli současně pocit úžasu, daru i toho, že jsme tu vítáni“. Má-li člověk v životě to pravé poslání, stává se každý den dobrodružstvím, každodennost zázrakem a zdánlivě malé věci vyrostou do nebeských výšin. Jako detektiv pátrá Chesterton metodicky po příčině psychologicky udržitelné radosti ze života, která může vycházet jenom z určité víry, tak jako každý pesimismus vychází z nevíry.V novém, stručném a soudobém překladu zní autorova gigantická životní energie naplno.

The Second World War destroyed countless cities in Europe and Asia. Naples 1944 is the story of the first major European city to be liberated by the Allies. The book describes not only what happened to Naples when the scourge of war lashed down upon it, but also, crucially, what happened next.This is the first major history of wartime Naples to appear in the English language. It fills a glaring gap in the British and American historiography of the war and shares a hoard of new stories – some of them truly shocking – that have never yet been published in any language.When the Allies arrived in late 1943, Naples had already suffered a brutal German occupation and suffered reprisals from the city’s heroic resistance and uprisings. This did not save it from the merciless Allied bombing. The city was on its knees with widespread suffering and squalor. Criminal gangs prospered, as did typhus, starvation and soaring prices on the black market. Much of the female population was forced into part-time prostitution simply to obtain food. Then Vesuvius erupted.Lowe’s gripping and powerful book places Naples right at the heart of Italian history. What happened in this city was not a mere sideshow to bigger events taking place further north, it was central to the story of the country as a whole. Neapolitans resisted Fascism just as the Florentines, the Bolognese, and the Milanese did. They suffered just as northerners did, and they longed as much for constitutional rebirth. The heroism and sacrifice that took place in Naples were harbingers of what would later happen throughout Italy – as were the compromise and corruption of ideals that came after the Allies took control.Naples 1944 is original and humane history at its very best, and a book which shows that Neapolitan story is the Italian story.

Kniha angličtí mušketýři líčí život vojáků vybavených zbraněmi s doutnákovým zámkem, počínaje dobou vlády královny Alžběty, kdy začaly být tyto zbraně v Anglii používány, až do konce 17. století, kdy je nahradily zbraně křesadlové. K masivnímu nasazení zbraní s doutnákovým mechanismem došlo při pokusu španělské armády o invazi do Anglie, za anglické občanské války, restaurace a slavné revoluce. Kniha předkládá zkušenosti, které si voják odnášel z bitev, menších střetů, obléhání i táborového života. Zachycuje jeho všední život včetně hloubení zákopů, střelby, bojů a účasti na tažení.

Keď klub Detroit Red Wings po dvadsaťročnej mizérií začal začiatkom 90. rokov minulého storočia kriesiť hokej v americkom meste motorov znovu k životu, jeho predstavitelia i majiteľ vedeli, že jeden z najvýdatnejších prameňov talentovaných hokejistov je za železnou oponou. V Rusku. Vtedy ešte v Sovietskom zväze. Nebolo žiadným tajomstvom, že ruskí hokejisti chcú hrať v NHL. Tí najlepší z národného mužstva, ako aj tí najtalentovanejší z novej generácie. Len nikto nemal odvahu to nejako zorganizovať. Inými slovami: zorganizovať ich útek. Vtedy sa na scéne objavuje autor tejto knihy Keith Gave. Na požiadanie klubu sa stáva prvým poslom, ktorý informuje ruských hokejistov, že Red Wings urobia všetko pre to, aby ich dostali do Ameriky. Čitateľ nájde v knihe množstvo detailov a zákulisných informácií tohto dramatického príbehu, o ktorých verejnosť doposiaľ nevedela. Je to svedectvo z prvej ruky od človeka, ktorý bol pritom od prvej chvíle draftu prvých dvoch ruských hokejistov v roku 1989 až do okamihu, keď Ruská päťka zodvihla v roku 1997 nad hlavu Stanleyho pohár. A bol prítomný aj na ich čestnom kole s Pohárom na Červenom námestí v Moskve.
