eBook: Elodie nikdy nesnila o palácích a přepychu. Jako dědička chudého vévodství moc dobře ví, co to znamená hlad a bída. Když ji ale požádá o ruku okouzlující princ bohatého ostrovního státu Aurea, bez váhání přijme. Vždyť sňatek s Henrym znamená, že její lid už nikdy nebude trpět! Za pohádkovou nabídkou se však ukrývá tajemství. Temné, zubaté tajemství. Aurea totiž sdílí ostrov s drakem – krvežíznivou bestií, která si výměnou za svoji přízeň žádá krev. Královskou krev. Elodie je ihned po honosné svatbě obětována netvorovi. Bude potřebovat veškerý svůj důvtip, aby v jeskynním bludišti unikla ze spárů jisté smrti a pomstila se všem, kdo ji zradili.

Life is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, it's not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with. Dodging doctor's orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eight-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realize that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years. To celebrate their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories: of growing old and staying young, of giving joy, of receiving kindness, of losing love, of finding the person who is everything. As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet. Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need them most.

Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh''s stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War.The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh''s novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder''s infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). In 1939 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia. In 1942 he published Put Out More Flags and then in 1945 Brideshead Revisited. Men at Arms (1952) was the first volume of ''The Sword of Honour'' trilogy, and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; the other volumes, Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender, followed in 1955 and 1961.If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you might like Waugh''s Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics.''Lush and evocative ...

The Hundred Years War on Palestine is Rashid Khalidi''s powerful response. Drawing on his family archives, he reclaims the fundamental right of any people: to narrate their history on their own terms. Beginning in the final days of the Ottoman Empire, Khalidi reveals nascent Palestinian nationalism and the broad recognition by the early Zionists of the colonial nature of their project. These ideas and their echoes defend Nakba - the Palestinian term for the establishment of the state of Israel - the cession of the West Bank and Gaza to Jordan and Egypt, the Six Day War and the occupation. Moving through these critical moments, Khalidi interweaves the voices of journalists, poets and resistance leaders with his own accounts as a child of a UN official and a resident of Beirut during the 1982 seige. The result is a profoundly moving account of a hundred-year-long war of occupation, dispossession and colonialisation.

Kniha - autor Michel Faber, 200 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Dvě novely autora světového bestselleru Kvítek karmínový a bílý. Sto devětadevadesát schodů dělí jedenadvacáté století s minulostí: vedou do starého opatství, kde probíhá archeologický průzkum a kde se skrývá pravda o jedné dávné vraždě, stařičký rukopis v láhvi, podivní lidé a možná i strašidlo. Kniha se dá číst jako historický thriller, milostný příběh i strašidelná historka. V druhé novele, Kapele rodiny Courageových, posílá autor příbuzné a spřízněné hudebníky na jeden belgický zámek, kde mají nazkoušet skladbu maniakálního komponisty a kde pravděpodobně straší.

Laughable Loves is a collection of stories that first appeared in print in Prague before 1968, but was then banned. The seven stories are all concerned with love, or rather with the complex erotic games and stratagems employed by women and especially men as they try to come to terms with needs and impulses that can start a terrifying train of events. Sexual attraction is shown as a game that often turns sour, an experience that brings with it painful insights and releases uncertainty, panic, vanity and a constant need for reassurance. Thus a young couple on holiday start a game of pretence that threatens to destroy their relationship, two middle-aged men go in search of girls they don't really want, a young man renews contact with an older woman who feels humiliated by her ageing body, an elderly doctor uses his beautiful wife to increase his attraction and minister to his sexual vanity. In Laughable Loves, Milan Kundera shows himself, once again, as a master of fiction's most graceful illusions and surprises.

Women of the White House looks at the work, lives and times of the 47 women officially recognized as America's first lady.Through portraits, photographs, accounts and profiles, the book examines their contributions to the presidencies they supported and to the 230-year history of the role. The women who have held the position have evolved it from White House hostess to campaigner for social causes and a game-changing leadership position. A role model for the world, a powerful political player, a traditional yet modern woman - the position of first lady of the United States is many-faceted, complex and beyond high profile.Amy Russo explores how the social platforms these women established - from Mary Todd Lincoln's work for slaves and soldiers after the Civil War to Michelle Obama's fight for girls' education - have not only made the role iconic but also shaped America.

Téma outsiderstva, človeka na okraji spoločnosti v kontraste so svetom etablovaných a úspešných patrí medzi zásadné témy najnovšej literatúry. Autorka vo svojom ostatnom románovom opuse rozohráva veľmi pútavý príbeh, práve takéhoto outsidera, ktorý sa stal outsiderom z vlastného rozhodnutia. Snaha okolia, priateľov žijúcich v iných svetoch pomôcť mu musí, celkom prirodzene viesť ku krachu. Autorka v tomto románe nemoralizuje, nepokúša sa, aspoň nie prvoplánovo vysielať akési posolstvá, napriek tomu jej dielo má skrytú hĺbku a chce povedať oveľa viac než sa na prvý pohľad môže zdať. Autorka dokázala, že aj napriek záľahe anglofónnej literatúry, je tu aj neprávom obchádzaná literatúra písaná v nemeckom jazyku, ktorá je nezaslúžene v tieni dominantnej angličtiny a dokáže svojim čitateľom prinášať skutočné literárne skvosty. Dielo Evelyn Grill nesporne patrí medzi to najlepšie, čo v poslednom čase vzniklo minimálne v európskom kontexte.
