On their third meeting, her new friend Zeru gave her a demonstone ring. He thought it was one of many in his mother s jewelry box, not to be missed. But the trinket was actually a dangerous and powerful artifact, which the demon queen will stop at nothing to get back. Now, with the demons mounting attacks to retrieve the ring, the conflict between demons and faeries has intensified. After a decade of skirmishes, the demon army draws ever closer to the faerie stronghold. Klara wants to prove to her father that she is worth more than the demonstone she wields as a weapon.

Kniha je v češtině a angličtině. Les nelze nemilovat. Ač oprávněně vzbuzuje jistou bázeň, naplňuje nás přirozeným klidem, harmonií, pocitem odvěkého řádu i sounáležitosti. Starý les je již téměř mysterium – symbol věčnosti. Takto ho můžeme spatřit na fotografiích Vladimíra Bichlera, který se s pokorou a neutuchající fascinací již řadu let vydává na Lomňansko (Horní a Dolní Lomná) v Moravskoslezských Beskydech. Jako nenápadný průvodce nás svými fotografiemi vtahuje do atmosféry lesa a otevírá novou dimenzi prožitku z procházky mezi stromy. Díky jeho vzácným fotografiím si můžeme uvědomit krásu a tajemství, jež nás zcela přesahují. Publikaci, která přináší na sto černobílých fotografií, autor doprovodil svými krátkými úvahami o vztahu člověka a lesního společenství. The forest cannot be loved. Although it justifiably arouses feelings of dread, it also fills us with a natural calmness, harmony, and a sense of ancient order and belonging. An old forest is a mysterious thing, a symbol of eternity. This is how it has been captured in the photographs of Vladimír Bichler, who spent years – humbly and with unwavering fascination – exploring the “Lomňansko” region, the area around the towns of Dolní Lomná and Horní Lomná in the Beskid Mountains. Like an unassuming guide, he brings the atmosphere of the forest to life through his photographs to offer us the experience of walking among the trees. Thanks to his exceptional images, we are introduced to beauty and mystery that entirely transcend our being. Bichler accompanies his collection of around a hundred black-and-white photographs with several brief meditations on man’s relationship to the forest community.

Colin Heber-Percy is a reliable guide - THE REVEREND RICHARD COLESWhere am I? Who am I? And why didn t I bring a sandwich...?This book is a hymn to getting lost. Drawing on his experience as a troubled schoolboy, a burnt-out screenwriter at the BBC, an awkward priest in the Church of England, Colin Heber-Percy reflects on the value of not belonging...We all share a desire to belong. There s reassurance and safety in knowing who we are and where we fit in. But at significant moments in our lives - a new job, new school or an unexpected change of circumstances - or just in the ruts and routines of everyday life, we can experience a sense of not belonging, of dislocation, of being lost in a forest. But, there is another way to approach these uneasy moments. Rather than fearing the forest, Colin discovers great value and creativity there.Join parish priest Colin Heber-Percy in an invitation to get lost - to lose the labels society and institutions use to box us in - and to relish the liberation of losing our way in the world. Blending anecdotes from parish life, with philosophy, literature and tales from his local Savernake Forest, Colin argues that there is an overlooked richness, a spirituality and a freedom to be found outside the boundary lines our culture sets for us.Lost in the Forest is a gentle, funny, and life-affirming trail of crumbs through the woods...PRAISE FOR COLIN HEBER-PERCY: Colin Heber-Percy s prose is flowing and he writes amusingly, perceptively and beautifully â • KATE GREEN, Country Life A gentle, generous spirit. â • SIMON RUSSELL BEALE A Wordsworthian appreciation of nature and is full of humanity and wisdom. â • SARAH SANDS, journalist and author of The Interior Silence

Captivating and deeply moving. Richard Coles Evocative, beautifully written . . . conjures locations and feelings almost magically. Jeremy Vine My brain has made the decision . . . I am going to love this book. Richard Hawley There was a time when he felt like the undisputed King of Selston.Then again, there were several years when he was convinced that he could talk to animals and had even mastered the power of flight - sailing nightly over the headstocks, slag heaps and doggedly beautiful countryside of an isolated East Midlands mining village.But, deep down, Danny Scott knew that the real King of Selston was and always would be coal. Over the last seven hundred years, coal dust had settled on every inch of Selston. It was in the food he ate, the air he breathed and the words he spoke. It fashioned resilient men like his dad and The Texan; feisty women like his mother, whose right-hook was feared even more than her fondness for house fires.Danny was a clever bugger - dangerously clever, some said - and fiercely proud of Selston, his dad and his mining heritage. Five generations of his family had spent their working lives underground, providing fuel for the Industrial Revolution, the electrical, rail and motoring revolutions. Without it, the modern age wouldn t have been so . . . modern.But as this young boy prepared to follow in his dad s footsteps, things began to change. The Devil became captain of the local darts team. Fortune tellers held seances in the front room of his council house. And that once unassailable King s reign seemed to be coming to an end.For dangerously clever buggers, there was only one option... somewhere else, someone new.Funny, poignant and alive to the unheralded beauty, purpose and camaraderie of a village which finds itself on the wrong side of history, THE UNDISPUTED KING OF SELSTON shines a light onto a forgotten industry and the dark shadows that wormed their way into the families who got left behind. Proper working class stories don t get much of a look-in these days. A shame, really. Especially when they re as beautifully written as this one. Noddy Holder

Now with a new chapter.The official inside story of the life, death and remarkable discovery of history s most controversial monarch.On 22 August 1485 Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, the last king of England to die in battle. His victorious opponent, Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII), went on to found one of our most famous ruling dynasties. Richard s body was displayed in undignified fashion for two days in nearby Leicester and then hurriedly buried in the church of the Greyfriars. Fifty years later, at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries, the king s grave was lost - its contents believed to be emptied into the river Soar and Richard III s reputation buried under a mound of Tudor propaganda. Its culmination was Shakespeare s compelling portrayal of a deformed and murderous villain, written over a hundred years after Richard s death. Now - in an incredible find - Richard III s remains have been uncovered beneath a car park in Leicester. The King s Grave traces this remarkable journey. In alternate chapters, Philippa Langley, whose years of research and belief that she would find Richard in this exact spot inspired the project, reveals the inside story of the search for the king s grave, and historian Michael Jones tells of Richard s fifteenth-century life and death. The result is a compelling portrayal of one of our greatest archaeological discoveries, allowing a complete re-evaluation of our most controversial monarch - one that discards the distortions of later Tudor histories and puts the man firmly back into the context of his times.

The Viking Conquest of England in 1016 ⠓ a far tougher and more brutal campaign than the Norman Conquest exactly half a century later ⠓ saw two great warriors, the Danish prince Cnut and his equally ruthless English opponent King Edmund Ironside, fight an epic campaign. Cnut sailed in two hundred longboats, landing first in September 1015 on the Wessex coast with 10,000 soldiers. The two forces fought each other to the point of exhaustion for the next fourteen months. It was a war of terrifying violence that scarred much of England, from the Humber to Cornwall. It saw an epic siege of the great walls of London and bruising set-piece battles at Penselwood, Otford, and the conclusive Danish victory at Assandun on 18 October 1016.Edmund⠙s death soon afterwards finally resolved a brutal, bloody conf lict and ended with Cnut becoming the undisputed king of England. This book tells the extraordinary story of Cnut the Great⠙s life. Cnut was far removed from the archetypal pagan Viking, being a staunch protector of the Christian Church and a man who would also become Emperor of the North as king of Denmark and Norway. His wife, Emma of Normandy, was a remarkable woman who would outlive the two kings of England that she married. Their son Harthacnut would be the second and last Danish king of England, but the greatness of his dynasty did not long survive his death. This saga also features the incompetent Æthelred the Unready, the ferocious Sweyn Forkbeard and the treacherous Eadric Streona, recreating one of the great stories of Dark Age England.

The Romance of the Forest (1791) heralded an enormous surge in the popularity of Gothic novels, in a decade that included Ann Radcliffe s later works, The Mysteries of Udolpho and The Italian. Set in Roman Catholic Europe of violent passions and extreme oppression, the novel follows the fate of its heroine Adeline, who is mysteriously placed under the protection of a family fleeing Paris for debt. They take refuge in a ruined abbey in south-eastern France, where sinister relics of the past - a skeleton, a manuscript, and a rusty dagger - are discovered in concealed rooms.Adeline finds herself at the mercy of the abbey s proprietor, a libidinous Marquis whose attentions finallyforce her to contemplate escape to distant regions. Rich in allusions to aesthetic theory and to travel literature, The Romance of the Forest is also concerned with current philosophical debate and examines systems of thought central to the intellectual life of late eighteenth-century Europe.
