V další sbírce povídek komiksových adaptací o Conanovi z dílny nakladatelství Dark Horse dopadá na mladého Cimeřana tíha jisté nedokončené záležitosti z minulosti a zároveň je mu prostřednictvím záhadného tuláka předána temná výstraha. Scenárista Timothy Truman v adaptaci nedokončené povídky Roberta E. Howarda „Nergalova paže“ odvážně spojuje několik zápletek z minulosti a přidává řadu zajímavých nápadů. Jeho zdařilá práce s postavami je patrná jak na samotném kultovním hrdinovi, tak i na pestré směsici vedlejších postaviček zlodějů, mocnářů, příležitostných žoldnéřů, čarodějů i démonů. Argentinský výtvarník Tomás Giorello oživuje příběh dechberoucími výjevy akčních bitev, stejně jako scénami s nádechem hrůzy či naopak procítěného dojetí. To vše umocňuje coloring JD Mettlera a Josého Villarrubii.Truman se navrací ke stejným historickým a mytologickým pramenům, jaké využíval i sám Howard, a s jejich pomocí dále rozpracovává jeho ideje. Výsledkem jsou příběhy jakoby z pera samotného Howarda. Máme tu oheň a krev, mrchožravé havrany i armádu mrtvých. Máme tu smrt, zoufalství i nezlomnou vůli. Máme tu zkrátka všechno, co si člověk může u příběhů o Conanovi přát.Kniha vychází opět v překladu Conanova českého objevitele Jana Kantůrka.

“If my fellow-traveller had lived, he intended to have put together in book form such information as we had gathered about Southern Arabia. Now, as he died four days after our return from our last journey there, I have had to undertake the task myself. It has been very sad to me, but I have been helped by knowing that, however imperfect this book may be, what is written here will surely be a help to those who, by following in our footsteps, will be able to get beyond them, and to whom I so heartily wish success and a Happy Home-coming, the best wish a traveller may have.” So Mabel Bent (Mrs J. Theodore Bent) begins her Preface to Southern Arabia, one of the classic travel books written in English about this ever-fascinating region, in which she details the couple’s travels over a ten-year period. A testimony to the book’s high regard is that, since publication in 1900, it has rarely been out-of-print. Mabel Bent continues in her Preface to inform the reader that her volume is drawn in part from the note-books of her husband, her fellow-traveller, the redoubtable J.

WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATUREThe celebrated first memoir from arguably the most influential singer-songwriter in the country, Bob Dylan.'I'd come from a long ways off and had started a long ways down. But now destiny was about to manifest itself. I felt like it was looking right at me and nobody else.' So writes Bob Dylan in Chronicles: Volume One, his remarkable book exploring critical junctures in his life and career. Through Dylan’s eyes and open mind, we see Greenwich Village, circa 1961, when he first arrives in Manhattan. Dylan’s New York is a magical city of possibilities - smoky, nightlong parties; literary awakenings; transient loves and unbreakable friendships. Elegiac observations are punctuated by jabs of memories, penetrating and tough. With the book’s side trips to New Orleans, Woodstock, Minnesota, and points west, Chronicles: Volume One is an intimate and intensely personal recollection of extraordinary times. By turns revealing, poetical, passionate, and witty, Chronicles: Volume One is a mesmerizing window on Bob Dylan’s thoughts and influences. Dylan’s voice is distinctively American: generous of spirit, engaged, fanciful, and rhythmic.

Audiokniha: The eighth step into the Darkness takes place on the American side of the Atlantic. It features two short stories by a single author – Texas native Robert Ervin Howard. Sadly enough, Howard died at age 30, but he still managed to create several immortal heroes – and was one of the founders of the now popular genre of heroic fantasy (along with J. R. R. Tolkien). R. E. Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, and Solomon Kane. Together with H. P. Lovecraft and others, R. E. Howard was one of the most prominent purveyors of the Cthulhu Mythos (the best-known contemporary author of this fictional mythology is Stephen King). The Horror from the Mound, and The Fearsome Touch of Death, are excellent even by today’s standards – and the stories are further highlighted by incredible vocal performances, stunning music, and superb graphics on the cover.

Poprvé se představila již před více než devadesáti lety v knize Roberta E. Howarda Stín supa. A právě toto dílo nyní vychází v Česku poprvé jako audiokniha.Howard novelu publikoval v roce 1934, na samém úsvitu fantasy žánru. Příběh zasadil do období tureckého tažení na Vídeň. Sultán Sulejman vyslal své vojsko dobýt Evropu a v cestě mu stála poslední bašta odporu, habsburská metropole. Bitva o Vídeň vstoupila do učebnic dějepisu odražením osmanských vojsk, ale kdo ví, jak by to tehdy – alespoň podle Howarda – dopadlo, kdyby se mezi obránci města neobjevili paladin Gottfried von Kalmbach a tajemná rusovlasá bojovnice Rudá Soňa.Rudá Soňa – Stín supa je považovaná za jednu z prvních knih v žánru fantasy zvaném Sword & Sorcery.Robert E. Howard krátce po vydání zemřel, ale jeho hrdinka tehdy čtenáře fascinovala natolik, že se Rudá Soňa začala objevovat v příbězích dalších autorů. A Howardovi, spolu s jeho dalším hrdinou Barbarem Conanem, zajistila mezi fanoušky fantasy věčnou slávu.

Audiokniha: Osmý krok k temnotě zůstává na americkém kontinentě. A dokonce přináší dvě povídky jediného autora – texaského rodáka Roberta Ervina Howarda. Ač se dožil pouhých 30 let, stvořil hned několik nesmrtelných hrdinů a společně s J. R. R. Tolkienem stál u zrodu dodnes oblíbeného žánru hrdinské fantasy. Sám Howard přivedl na svět barbara Conana, Rudou Sonju či puritánského šermíře jménem Solomon Kane. A s Howardem Phillipsem Lovecraftem a dalšími patřil k nejvýznamnějším tvůrcům uznávajícím mýtus Cthulhu (dnes je nejznámějším autorem této fiktivní mytologie Stephen King). Povídky Příšera z mohyly a Dotek smrti ve skvělém podání pozvaných herců – Petra Šmída, Jiřího Dvořáka a Filipa Šorma – dokazují, že Howardovo dílo obstojí i dnes.

Direction and Destiny in the Birth Chart returns due to popular demand! When Howard Sasportas died in 1992, the astrological community recognised that it had lost one of its best-loved and most original thinkers. His lectures made him a highly respected figure in the international astrological world. At Howard''s seminars the participants could enjoy his unique combination of intuitive insight, humour, warmth, inspired interpretation, and profound grasp of human nature. It is his rare blend of spirituality and down-to-earth, trenchant observations of human psychological dynamics which makes his work so unusual and memorable. The three seminars included in this reprint of the original volume all deal with the themes of direction and destiny in the birth chart. In personal consultation work Howard had the gift of inspiring his clients and highlighting potentials which gave them renewed hope and new directions to pursue in life. These seminars convey the same optimism and positive vision of human possibilities.

With new contributions by Latinx scholar Ed Morales and adapter Rebecca Stefoff based on newly available scholarship, here is a new and revised edition of Howard Zinn''s seminal text, A Young People''s History of the United States. A new chapter, introduction, conclusion and further updates throughout the book expand our understanding of Latinx history in the US through the political movements and cultural contributions of Latino Americans, as well as expanded coverage of Native history and Asian American activism. This now-classic work of radical and activist US history gives readers the viewpoints of workers, slaves, immigrants, women, Native Americans, and others whose stories, and their impact, are rarely included in books for young people. Beginning with a look at Christopher Columbus''s arrival through the eyes of the Arawak Indians, then leading the reader through the struggles for worker''s rights, women''s rights, and civil rights during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and ending with the recent protests against continued American imperialism, Howard Zinn presents a radical new way of understanding America''s history. In so doing, he reminds readers that America''s true greatness is shaped by our dissident voices, not our military generals.
