Skleník je nekompromisní, svižný sci-fi román o rozhodnutích, před něž jsme postaveni, a o jejich důsledcích, kterým pak musíme čelit. Když je Riley Diaz uvězněna na základě nového tajemného zákona o obraně, ocitne se v jednom z rychle přibývajících Amerických středisek obnovy - zařízení po vzoru psychiatrických léčeben -, kde má podstoupit povinnou převýchovu. Program ASO používá ke zlomení disidentů podlé strategie, jako je nucená terapie, nedobrovolná medikace, samovazba, omezené příděly jídla a další. Podvol se, a jsi volný. Vzdoruj a… Osamocená Riley vyhlašuje válku lžím a manipulacím a snaží se program ASO a jeho pracovníky v bílých pláštích zničit. Přestože je izolovaná a spoluvězni ji nemají zrovna v lásce, nakonec si získá jejich důvěru a vytvoří si pevné pouto s tajemným pacientem známým pouze jako Frankenstein, který je stejně záhadný jako jeho jmenovec. Na počátku zničení nespravedlivého systému někdy stojí pouze jeden člověk, který je ochoten navzdory všemu vstát a říct "ne" - a to i ve chvíli, kdy má pocit, že vstát nedokáže. A Riley Diaz je připravena rozbít Skleník za každou cenu. Uznávaný americký spisovatel, scenárista a producent J. Michael Straczynski bere čtenáře na fascinující cestu inspirovanou znepokojivými problémy současnosti, jako je omezování svobody projevu. Skleník je dramatický a procítěný příběh, v němž vystupují autentické a často zvláštní postavy, které si čtenáři zamilují.

Napadli mě. Ukradli mi duši. Propadl jsem iluzorní skulinou v chodníku a skončil na místě opuštěnejch věcí a vykořeněnejch lidí. A jestli do roka nezískám svoji duši zpátky, skončím jako mrtvola, nebo jako jeden z těch průsvitnejch tvorů, který jsem zahlídnul.

Cool. Balanced. Modern. The precisions of science, the wild variance of lust, the catharsis of confession and the fear of failure - these are things that happen in the Glass Room. High on a Czechoslovak hill, the Landauer House shines as a wonder of steel and glass and onyx built specially for newlyweds Viktor and Liesel Landauer, a Jew married to a gentile. But the radiant honesty of 1930 that the house, with its unique Glass Room, seems to engender quickly tarnishes as the storm clouds of WW2 gather, and eventually the family must flee, accompanied by Viktor's lover and her child. But the house's story is far from over, and as it passes from hand to hand, from Czech to Russian, both the best and the worst of the history of Eastern Europe becomes somehow embodied and perhaps emboldened within the beautiful and austere surfaces and planes so carefully designed, until events become full-circle.

The world of the glass-blowers has its own traditions, it's own language - and its own rules.

This journey to the edge of Europe mixes history, travelogue and oral testimony to spellbinding and revelatory effect. Few countries have suffered more from the convulsions and bloodshed of twentieth-century Europe than those in the eastern Baltic. Small nations such as the Baltic States of Latvia and Estonia found themselves caught between the giants of Germany and Russia, on a route across which armies surged or retreated. Subjected to foreign domination and conquest since the Northern crusades in the twelfth century, these lands faced frequent devastation as Germans, Russians and Swedish colonisers asserted control of the territory, religion, government, culture and inhabitants. The Glass Wall features an extraordinary cast of characters - contemporary and historical, foreign and indigenous - who have lived and fought in the Baltic and made the atmosphere of what was often thought to be western Europe's furthest redoubt. Too often it has seemed to be the destiny of this region to be the front line of other people's wars. By telling the stories of warriors and victims, of philosophers and Baltic Barons, of poets and artists, of rebels and emperors, and others who lived through years of turmoil and violence, Max Egremont reveals a fascinating part of Europe, on a frontier whose limits may still be in doubt.

On the night of 14/15 April 1912, a brandnew, supposedly unsinkable ship, the largest and most luxurious vessel in the world at the time, collided with an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage. Of the 2,208 people on board, only 712 were saved. The rest either drowned or froze to death in the icy-cold waters of the North Atlantic. How could this ‘unsinkable’ vessel sink and why did so few of those aboard survive?The authors bring the tragedy to life, telling the story of the ship’s design, construction and maiden voyage. The stories of individuals who sailed on her, many previously known only as names on yellowing passenger and crew lists, are brought to light using rarely-seen accounts of the sinking. The stories of passengers of all classes and crewmembers alike, are explored. They tell the dramatic stories of lives lost and people saved, of the rescue ship Carpathia, and of the aftermath of the sinking. Never again would a large passenger liner sail without lifeboats for all.Despite the tragedy, the sinking of the Titanic indirectly led to untold numbers of lives being saved due to new regulations that came into force after the tragedy. Profusely illustrated, including many rare and unique views of the ship and those who sailed on her, this is as accurate and engrossing a telling of the life of the White Star Line’s Titanic and her sinking as you will read anywhere. Made special by the use of so many rare survivor accounts from the eye witnesses to that night to remember, the narrative places the reader in the middle of the maiden voyage, and brings the tragic sinking to life as never before.
