Durotanův otec ho však rázně odmítl, protože věřil, že jeho klan se o sebe i v těžkých časech dokáže postarat sám. Nyní je náčelníkem Durotan, přičemž stojí před stejnou volbou jako otec. Doba, ve které žije, je však mnohem krutější, než když se musel rozhodovat Garad.

eBook: „JEDEN SVĚT UMÍRÁ A NA DRUHÝ PŘICHÁZÍ SMRT…“ Románová adaptace filmu Warcraft: První střet je skvělá epická fantasy! Po událostech popsaných v románu Durotan se renomovaná autorka (nejen) herních a filmových adaptací Christie Golden vrací na Azeroth, aby dovyprávěla velký příběh o odvaze, nenávisti a hrdinství. Přichází totiž První střet… Všichni, kteří viděli „warcraftovský“ velkofilm stejného jména, jímž režisér Duncan Jones (syn nedávno zesnulého hudebníka Davida Bowieho) potěšil všechny fanoušky fantasy fenoménu jménem Warcraft, mohou mít dojem, že tenhle příběh už znají. A částečně mají i pravdu, protože První střet je oficiální románovou adaptací výše zmíněného snímku. Nebyla by to ale Christie Golden, aby citlivě nedoplnila to, co ve filmu chybělo, nebo bylo pouze naznačeno. Román dává tvůrci přeci jenom trochu jiné možnosti, jak naložit s kvalitním příběhem a autorka, která je ve sdílených světech typu Warcraft jako doma, jich využila bezezbytku a s velkým přehledem. Je radost sledovat, jak zdánlivě jednoduchý příběh o nucené invazi nabývá takřka epických rozměrů. Christie Golden totiž vzala všechny ingedience, které budou na fanouška žánru fantasy fungovat vždy: přátelství a nenávist mezi různými rasami (orky, lidmi, trpaslíky), roztodivné netvory, sebeobětování, zlovolnou magii, zradu a hlavně hrdinství, a přetavila je do svébytného příběhu, který navíc obsahuje vše, co dělá Warcraft Warcraftem. Pokud se vám po Azerothu a jeho hrdinech stýskalo, neměl by vám fantasy román První střet, který u nás vydává – jak je jeho dobrým zvykem – ostravské nakladatelství FANTOM Print (www.fantomprint.cz), rozhodně chybět v knihovničce…

Důvodem pro to je jeden z Kousků ráje, artefaktů, jež zde zanechala dávná civilizace Předchůdců. Zázračný meč, momentálně v držení templářů, ale nefunguje tak, jak by měl.

Odpověď má najít Simon, čerstvě přijatý do templářské Vnitřní svatyně, který se co nevidět ponoří do hlubin času. V kůži svého dávného předka si vyzkouší život v době rytířských ctností a válečných tažení, aby ochraňoval a doprovázel pannu nejctnostnější – odvážnou Johanku z Arku, neboť právě ona měla meč po určitou dobu v rukou. Simon tak získá jedinečnou příležitost nejen nahlédnout do časů, kdy boj mezi templáři a asasíny prohoříval až do nejvyšších vrstev francouzské i anglické společnosti, ale také jej na vlastní kůži prožít. A pak je tu ještě jeho šéf a Simonova spolupracovnice, psychiatrička, která by mohla do duše nejen Simona, ale i jeho středověkého avatára proniknout více, než je zdrávo.

A ještě delší dobu trvalo, než se je podařilo spojit se sérií krvavých vražd.Zabiják z Golden State byl nakonec dopaden právě díky neúnavnému úsilí policie – zejména výjimečně talentované Carol Dalyové, Richarda Shelbyho a jejich následovníků, jejichž pátrání výrazně napomohl vědecký pokrok v oblasti zkoumání DNA. Thorp ve své knize přináší portrét výjimečného zločince a jeho doby.

eBook: Na světě je více než sedm miliard lidí – vrážíme do sebe v davu, nadáváme si v nekonečných kolonách aut, dokonce i v přírodě je čím dál těžší najít tiché zákoutí, kde bychom mohli být alespoň chvilku sami se sebou. Přesto se řada z nás cítí osamělá. Proč tomu tak je? Proč je stále složitější najít v přelidněném světě spřízněnou duši? V této knize najdete odpovědi na mnohé často kladené otázky. Je na vině moderní doba se svým důrazem na seberealizaci jednotlivců, s rozpadem tradiční rodiny a obrovskou fluktuací obyvatelstva? Anebo jsme to spíš my sami, protože nejsme schopni vytvářet blízké vazby, opakujeme ve vztazích stále tytéž chyby, popřípadě vůbec „nejsme stvořeni“ pro partnerství či život v rodině? Zamyslete se spolu s námi nad vykořeněním ve světě, zdánlivě dokonale propojeném prostřednictvím internetu a moderních technologií, či nad tím, jakou citovou daň platíme v neustálé honbě za osobním úspěchem. Rozebereme si působení rodičů a dětských traumat na naši schopnost utvářet vztahy k lidem a vysvětlíme si také rozdíly mezi extroverty a introverty, protože každý typ osobnosti přistupuje k problému osamělosti jinak. Na příkladu modelové rodiny, jejíž zajímavý a ryze současný příběh se vine celou knihou, se dozvíte, jak se ve své vlastní osamělosti zorientovat a překonat ji. Knihu pro její čtivost ocení široký okruh čtenářů.

eBook: "Respectable people...What bastards!"Rake-thin and exhausted prisoner Florent, wrongly convicted during the 1848 Revolution, escapes and seeks refuge with his half-brother in Paris. Florent finds a job at the local central market Les Halles. Initially he is met with a baffled but friendly warmth. But this warmth soon erodes into a poisonous animosity in an atmosphere shot with insidious political intrigue, petty rivalries and perfidious gossip from the "respectable people", that impinge upon the Florent's safety and wellbeing. 'The Fat and the Thin' is the third installment of the 'Les Rougon-Macquart' series packed with powerful social commentary comparing those in power (the fat) to those in the lower classes (the thin). The allegories of the burgeoning Parisian market stalls are so poignant that the reader would be forgiven for thinking this is a story of anthropomorphism, where the characters have turned into the food they buy and sell. Yet, simultaneously rebuffed with depictions of abject poverty, this is an unforgettable novel reminiscent of 'The Ladies' Paradise' and 'Nana'. It comes as little surprise that literary icons Charles Dickens and Anthony Bourdain cited Zola among their favourite authors.

eBook: La Fortune des Rougon (The Fortune of the Rougons), originally published in 1871, is the first novel in Émile Zola's monumental twenty-volume series Les Rougon-Macquart. The novel is partly an origin story, with a large cast of characters - many of whom become the central figures of later novels in the series - and partly an account of the December 1851 coup d´etat that created the French Second Empire under Napoleon III. The events are experienced through the eyes of a large provincial town in southern France. The title refers not only to the "fortune" chased by protagonists Pierre and Felicité Rougon, but also to the fortunes of the various disparate family members Zola introduces, whose lives are of central importance to later books in the series.

eBook: Considered wildly controversial at the time of its release, \'The Fruit of the Tree\' is a departure from the norm for Edith Wharton. While her trademark eye for social detail and psychological insights are present and correct, this novel deals with more melancholic themes, such as divorce, addiction, euthanasia, poor working conditions, and extravagance. It follows the story of George Amhurst, the assistant manager of a textile mill in New England. While his heart might be in the right place, when he marries the widow of a mill owner, he might be forced to compromise in his ideals. A striking book from the pen that wrote \'The Age of Innocence,\' which became a film, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Daniel Day-Lewis.
