Anne Boleyn is dead, decapitated in the space of a heartbeat by a hired French executioner. As her remains are bundled into oblivion, Thomas Cromwell breakfasts with the victors. The blacksmith’s son from Putney emerges from the spring’s bloodbath to continue his climb to power and wealth, while his formidable master, Henry VIII, settles to short-lived happiness with his third queen, Jane Seymour.Cromwell is a man with only his wits to rely on; he has no great family to back him, no private army. Despite rebellion at home, traitors plotting abroad and the threat of invasion testing Henry’s regime to breaking point, Cromwell’s robust imagination sees a new country in the mirror of the future. But can a nation, or a person, shed the past like a skin? Do the dead continually unbury themselves?

Je prvním ministrem krále Jindřicha VIII., jeho vliv a majetek narůstaly s tím, jak stoupala hvězda Anny Boleynové, Jindřichovy druhé manželky. Kvůli ní se Jindřich rozešel s Římem a založil vlastní církev; země se však díky tomu dostala do nebezpečné izolace a Anna nedokázala splnit, co slibovala: porodit syna, který by byl pokračováním tudorovské linie.Při letní návštěvě Wolf Hall, domu rodiny Seymourových, Cromwell sleduje, jak král propadá lásce k tiché, obyčejné Janě. Ministr chápe, co všechno je v sázce - nejde jen o královo potěšení, ale také o bezpečnost země. V dusivé atmosféře dvorských klevet a sexuálního taktizování musí připravit "pravdu", která uspokojí Jindřicha a zabezpečí mu jeho vlastní kariéru. Ale krvavé divadlo posledních dní Annina života postihne i ministra a krále… V románu Předveďte mrtvé, jenž je pokračováním oceňované knihy Wolf Hall (Man Booker Prize za rok 2009, česky vydalo Argo v roce 2010) Hilary Mantelová zkoumá jednu z nejtajemnějších a nejděsivějších epizod anglických dějin: zkázu Anny Boleynové.

Into this impasse steps Thomas Cromwell: a wholly original man, a charmer and a bully, both idealist and opportunist, master of deadly intrigue, and implacable in his ambition.

From one of Britain's best loved writers comes an exhilarating, tender novel that asks the vital questions: what makes life worth living? And what do you do if you find it isn't?

V románu Zrcadlo a světlo se završuje trilogie pojednávající o osudech Thomase Cromwella, chudého kovářského syna, který se vlastními schopnostmi vypracoval na pravou ruku anglického krále Jindřicha VIII. První dva svazky - Wolf Hall a Předveďte mrtvé - líčí Cromwellův vzestup a okolnosti, za kterých se postupně stal Jindřichovým nepostradatelným rádcem. Zrcadlo a světlo navazuje přesně v okamžiku, kde druhý díl končil: kat si čistí krvavý meč, dvorní dámy ukládají do rakve bezhlavé tělo Anny Boleynové. A Thomas Cromwell vyráží na závěrečný úsek své pouti, přes vrchol politické moci a pád z výsluní královy obliby až k popravčímu špalku. Kritika označuje cromwellovskou trilogii Hilary Mantelové za největší anglicky psaný historický román, který zatím v tomto století vznikl. Vydání knihy podpořilo Ministerstvo kultury České republiky

V roce 1535 nechal kovářův syn Thomas Cromwell svoje skromné počátky dávno za sebou. Je prvním ministrem krále Jindřicha VIII., jeho vliv a majetek narůstaly s tím, jak stoupala hvězda Anny Boleynové, Jindřichovy druhé manželky. Kvůli ní se Jindřich rozešel s Římem a založil vlastní církev; země se však díky tomu dostala do nebezpečné izolace a Anna nedokázala splnit, co slibovala: porodit syna, který by byl pokračováním tudorovské linie.Při letní návštěvě Wolf Hall, domu rodiny Seymourových, Cromwell sleduje, jak král propadá lásce k tiché, obyčejné Janě. Ministr chápe, co všechno je v sázce - nejde jen o královo potěšení, ale také o bezpečnost země. V dusivé atmosféře dvorských klevet a sexuálního taktizování musí připravit "pravdu", která uspokojí Jindřicha a zabezpečí mu jeho vlastní kariéru. Ale krvavé divadlo posledních dní Annina života postihne i ministra a krále… V románu Předveďte mrtvé, jenž je pokračováním oceňované knihy Wolf Hall (Man Booker Prize za rok 2009, česky vydalo Argo v roce 2010) Hilary Mantelová zkoumá jednu z nejtajemnějších a nejděsivějších epizod anglických dějin: zkázu Anny Boleynové. Její nový román je odvážným obrazem tudorovské Anglie, který vrhá nové světlo i na moderní svět. Je to práce vynikající autorky na vrcholu sil, což dokazují i významná ocenění, kterých se románu dostalo: roku 2012 získala Hilary Mantelová jako vůbec první žena podruhé Man Bookerovu cenu a současně i cenu Costa Book Award za nejlepší román i nejlepší knihu roku 2012.

'Boyd on form is the ultimate in immersive fiction, and Love is Blind is Boyd at the top of his game . . . magnificent' Sunday Times This is William Boyd's sweeping, heart-stopping new novel. Set at the end of the 19th century, it follows the fortunes of Brodie Moncur, a young Scottish musician, about to embark on the story of his life. When Brodie is offered a job in Paris, he seizes the chance to flee Edinburgh and his tyrannical clergyman father, and begin a wildly different new chapter in his life. In Paris, a fateful encounter with a famous pianist irrevocably changes his future - and sparks an obsessive love affair with a beautiful Russian soprano, Lika Blum. Moving from Paris to St Petersburg to Edinburgh and back again, Brodie's love for Lika and its dangerous consequences pursue him around Europe and beyond, during an era of overwhelming change as the nineteenth century becomes the twentieth. Love is Blind is a tale of dizzying passion and brutal revenge; of artistic endeavour and the illusions it creates; of all the possibilities that life can offer, and how cruelly they can be snatched away. At once an intimate portrait of one man's life and an expansive exploration of the beginning of the twentieth century, Love is Blind is a masterly new novel from one of Britain's best loved storytellers. 'Boyd is back on a form few of his contemporaries can match. This fine, touching and clever book is the best thing he's written since [Any Human Heart] and deserves similar adulation' Guardian

Dracula: Introduction and Notes by Dr David Rogers, Kingston University. 'There he lay looking as if youth had been half-renewed, for the white hair and moustache were changed to dark iron-grey, the cheeks were fuller, and the white skin seemed ruby-red underneath; the mouth was redder than ever, for on the lips were gouts of fresh blood, which trickled from the corners of the mouth and ran over the chin and neck. Even the deep, burning eyes seemed set amongst the swollen flesh, for the lids and pouches underneath were bloated.It seemed as if the whole awful creature were simply gorged with blood; he lay like a filthy leech, exhausted with his repletion.'Thus Bram Stoker, one of the greatest exponents of the supernatural narrative, describes the demonic subject of his chilling masterpiece Dracula, a truly iconic and unsettling tale of vampirism. Dracula's Guest & Other Stories: Edited and Introduced by David Stuart Davies. The above is followed with a rich collection of Stoker's macabre tales including Dracula's Guest (which was omitted from the final version of Dracula); a devilishly dangerous haunted room in The Judge's House; a fatalistic tragedy in The Burial of the Rats; a terror of revenge from beyond the grave in The Secret of Growing Gold, and a surprising twist in the tail in The Gypsy's Prophecy.Other strange and frightening episodes provide a feast of terror for those readers who like to be unnerved as well as entertained.

Průvodce po Íránu, zemi pohádek Tisíce a jedné nociHledáte-li mimořádné cestovatelské zážitky, vypravte se do Íránu. Navzdory politické propagandě patří Írán k nejbezpečnějším zemím Blízkého východu, a pokud přestojíte bariéru byrokracie a povinnost zahalení vlasů žen, odměna za toto nepohodlí bude velkolepá. Írán, bývalá Persie, je nádherná a pestrá země, která si stále udržuje tajemné kouzlo pohádek Tisíce a jedné noci. Krajina nabízí neuvěřitelné kontrasty od rozlehlých pouští s oázami po věčně zasněžené vrcholky hor, hluboké lesy při hranici s Tureckem, čajové plantáže v Íránském Ázerbajdžánu i extrémní tropické ovzduší Perského zálivu.Navštivte íránská města a nenechte si ujít rozlehlý a dynamický teheránský bazar, zahrady a mosty Isfahánu nebo Šíráz, poetické město růží, u něhož se nacházejí ohromující ruiny Persepolis – starověkého města, jež bývalo výstavní metropolí Perské říše. Nezapomeňte ani na Jazd, pouštní město fungující již téměř 7000 let, centrum staré perské víry – zoroastrismu. Množství starobylých chrámů, mešit a jiných historických artefaktů je v Íránu tak velké, že si vybere i nejnáročnější obdivovatel minulosti. Také příznivci outdoorových aktivit zde najdou mnoho příležitostí k lyžování, pěší turistice či trekům na kole podél početných chráněných přírodních území. Vaší pozornosti by neměly ujít ani íránské šperky, umělecké předměty a suvenýry, z nichž k nejhodnotnějším patří koberce. To, co cestovatelé v Íránu nejvíce oceňují, však nejsou ani památky, ani příroda – jsou to pohostinní a milí obyvatelé, kteří se rádi postarají o vaše pohodlí a komfort.
