Harvardský profesor symbologie Robert Langdon přijede do ultramoderního Guggenheimova muzea v Bilbau, aby se zde zúčastnil významného oznámení – odhalení objevu, který „navždy změní tvář vědy“. Pořadatelem společenského večera je čtyřicetiletý miliardář a futurista Edmond Kirsch, jenž se díky svým oslnivým supermoderním vynálezům a odvážným předpovědím stal celosvětově uznávanou osobností. Po zahájení společenské akce Langdona a několik set dalších hostů zcela uchvátí velmi originální prezentace; pečlivě naplánovaný večer se však najednou promění v chaos a hrozí, že Kirschův vzácný objev bude navždy ztracen. Langdon je v bezprostředním ohrožení nucen z Bilbaa uprchnout; doprovází ho při tom Ambra Vidalová, elegantní ředitelka muzea, která Kirschovi pomáhala provokativní společenskou akci zinscenovat. Společně se vydají do Barcelony za nebezpečným úkolem: nalézt záhadné heslo, s jehož pomocí odhalí Kirschovo tajemství.

Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumours have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden deep in the Honduran interior. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and warn the legendary city is cursed: to enter it is a death sentence. They call it the Lost City of the Monkey God. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artefacts and an electrifying story of having found the City – but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a single-engine plane carrying a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but a lost civilization. To confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, plagues of insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. They emerged from the jungle with proof of the legend... and the curse. They had contracted a horrifying, incurable and sometimes lethal disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with history, adventure and dramatic twists of fortune, The Lost City of the Monkey God is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.

A Columbia University physician comes across a popular medieval text on dying well written after the horror of the Black Plague and discovers ancient wisdom for rethinking death and gaining insight today on how we can learn the lost art of dying well in this wise, clear-eyed book that is as compelling and soulful as Being Mortal, When Breath Becomes Air, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. As a specialist in both medical ethics and the treatment of older patients, Dr. L. S. Dugdale knows a great deal about the end of life. Far too many of us die poorly, she argues. Our culture has overly medicalized death: dying is often institutional and sterile, prolonged by unnecessary resuscitations and other intrusive interventions. We are not going gently into that good night—our reliance on modern medicine can actually prolong suffering and strip us of our dignity. Yet our lives do not have to end this way.Centuries ago, in the wake of the Black Plague, a text was published offering advice to help the living prepare for a good death. Written during the late Middle Ages, ars moriendi—The Art of Dying—made clear that to die well, one first had to live well and described what practices best help us prepare. When Dugdale discovered this Medieval book, it was a revelation. Inspired by its holistic approach to the final stage we must all one day face, she draws from this forgotten work, combining its wisdom with the knowledge she has gleaned from her long medical career. The Lost Art of Dying is a twenty-first century ars moriendi, filled with much-needed insight and thoughtful guidance that will change our perceptions. By recovering our sense of finitude, confronting our fears, accepting how our bodies age, developing meaningful rituals, and involving our communities in end-of-life care, we can discover what it means to both live and die well. And like the original ars moriendi, The Lost Art of Dying includes nine black-and-white drawings from artist Michael W. Dugger. Dr. Dugdale offers a hopeful perspective on death and dying as she shows us how to adapt the wisdom from the past to our lives today. The Lost Art of Dying is a vital, affecting book that reconsiders death, death culture, and how we can transform how we live each day, including our last.Â

Before The Silmarillion, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the earliest myths and legends of Middle-earth and Valinor were laid down in The Book of Lost Tales, written by J.R.R. Tolkien between 1916 and 1920, and compiled by Christopher Tolkien for publication in 1983.The Book of Lost Tales stands at the beginning of the entire conception of Middle-earth and Valinor, for the Tales were the first form of the myths and legends that came to be called The Silmarillion.Embedded in English legend, they are set in the narrative frame of a great westward voyage over the Ocean by a mariner named Eriol to the lonely Isle where the Elves dwelt; from them he learned their true history, the Lost Tales of Elfinesse. In the Tales are found the earliest accounts of Gods and Elves, Dwarves, Balrogs and Orcs; of the Silmarils and the Two Trees of Valinor; of the geography and cosmology of Tolkien’s invented world.This first volume in Christopher Tolkien’s epic History of Middle-earth series is the perfect gateway for anyone wanting to tread deeper into the rich tapestry of Tolkien’s world and discover the evolution of the Middle-earth stories.

In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brené Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.Over the past two decades, Brown''s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown''s singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn''t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."

''I am looking for something still more mysterious: for the path you read about in books, the old lane choked with undergrowth whose entrance the weary prince could not discover.''The Lost Domain (1913) is an adventure story as well as a lyrical homage to life in pre-war rural France. One of France''s best-loved and most read novels of all time, it is a tale of growing up, friendship, love, and loss, threaded through with traits of romance, fantasy, and make-believe. François Seurel, the son of a schoolteacher, recounts events of his adolescence that revolve around his friend Augustin Meaulnes, a bold dreamer who stumbles into an elaborate fête at a mysterious ''lost domain'', falls in love, yet seems destined never again to find the bewitching location nor his beloved. Much of the narrative circles round the question of whether the past can ever be revived. The simple pleasures and sensory delights of rural childhood, the exhilarations and disappointments of youthful discoveries, and the poignant confrontation of dream and reality are combined in prose that modulates between face-paced and poetic. At just twenty-seven years old, Alain-Fournier died in action in 1914, the year after the publication of The Lost Domain, which remains a nostalgic portrait of the France that was shattered by the First World War. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Contains 'The Innocence of Father Brown', 'The Wisdom of Father Brown' and 'The Incredulity of Father Brown'. "I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world, and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread."Father Brown is a detective like no other. A catholic cleric blessed with incredible detection abilities, he is frequently confronted with crimes that only he can solve. G.K. Chesterton was already a literary heavyweight before he created Father Brown and to him these were "ephemeral" and light stories, but the Father Brown series has become his most lasting and memorable work. Along with volume 2, this is the only truly complete edition that includes 'The Donnington Affair', 'The Vampire of the Village' and 'The Mask of Midas' as well as original illustrations.

Audiokniha: V knize Andělé a démoni americký spisovatel Dan Brown poprvé představil postavu harvardského symbologa Roberta Langdona, který se později znovu objevuje ve světovém bestselleru Da Vinciho kód. Ve špičkovém švýcarském výzkumném ústavu CERN je nalezen brutálně zavražděný vědec. Langdon je povolán k případu rituální vraždy, k jejímuž objasnění může přispět díky svým znalostem v oborech kódů a šifrování a dějin tajných společností. Strhující drama, jehož hlavní část se odehrává na půdě Vatikánu a během volby nového papeže. Ilumináti vstali z mrtvých, aby se krutě pomstili svému odvěkému nenáviděnému nepříteli: katolické církvi. Ve vatikánské Sixtinské kapli se zatím shromáždili kardinálové, aby zvolili nového papeže. Odříznutí od vnějšího světa, jak velí tradice konkláve, nemají ani tušení, že kdesi v útrobách Vatikánu odtikává supermoderní časovaná bomba. Vědí jen to, že čtyři z nich v kapli neznámo proč chybí. Langdon a jeho krásná pomocnice, vědkyně Vittorie Vetrová, spojí síly, aby rozluštila prastarý systém symbolů tvořících po Římě tajnou stezku zasvěcení. Ta je má dovést do zapomenuté iluminátské lóže, v níž chtějí nalézt klíč k záchraně Svatého města. Každé odhalení ale vede k další záhadě a neviditelný nepřítel zatím vraždí jednoho kardinála za druhým.

Ve svých knihách Dan Brown mistrovsky mísí historii, umění, šifry a symboly. Nejinak tomu je i v jeho nejnovějším thrilleru, který se okamžitě po svém vydání stal světovým bestsellerem a prodejně předčil i předchozí autorovy tituly.

Při svém tajuplném poslání se Langdon musí střetnout s neznámým, hrůzu nahánějícím protivníkem; proplétá se přitom nejen labyrintem florentských, benátských či istanbulských uliček, tajnými chodbami, skrytými komnatami, ale také labyrintem narážek a kódů.

Vražedné tajemství zakódované do nejznámějšího Leonardova obrazu sahá až do dnešních dnů… Ve hře není nic menšího než svatý grál! Robert Langdon, uznávaný harvardský profesor symbologie, pobývá služebně v Paříži, když v jeho hotelovém pokoji zazvoní telefon. Správce uměleckých sbírek v Louvru byl zavražděn. Co s tím má společného profesor historie? Důvod leží hned vedle mrtvého těla: nevysvětlitelná šifra, kterou tam policie objevila. Langdon se pouští do pátrání a k svému ohromení náhle vidí, že kamsi do temnot vede stopa zřetelných nápovědí, viditelných pro všechny, kdo vidět chtějí, obsažených přímo v díle geniálního Leonarda da Vinci. Do hry se zapojí také talentovaná odbornice na šifry a kódy, Sophie Neveuová, a na světlo vycházejí další záhadné souvislosti, naznačující spojení zavražděného s elitní společností, tajným řádem zvaným Převorství sionské, jehož členem byl kdysi i sám Leonardo. Nastává bezdechá honba Paříží i Londýnem, zatímco nepřátelé beze jména a bez tváře se snaží všechno překazit. Pradávné tajemství, jehož zveřejnění by znamenalo přepsání lidských dějin, má zůstat navěky skryto… Autor legendární bestseller jemně přepracoval pro mladší čtenáře. Co ho k tomu vedlo? Sám Dan Brown k tomu říká: "Mnozí moji přátelé mají dospívající děti. Některé z nich zhltli dospělou verzi Šifry mistra Leonarda a ohromně se jim líbila; některým však připadaly jisté aspekty románu příliš ,dospělé‘ a odrazovala je i délka. Adaptace pro mládež se proto pokouší teenagerům zprostředkovat svět díla tím, že se poněkud zkrátí rozsah, vysvětlí určitý historický kontext a celkově se přizpůsobí jejich myšlení…" Šifra mistra Leonarda ve vydání pro mládež tak teenagerům nabízí vstupenku do fascinujícího světa románů Dana Browna. Děj je akčnější a autor zároveň více čtenářům popsal historický kontext napínavého příběhu.

''A truly fascinating must-read'' – Elinor Cleghorn, bestselling author of Unwell Women''Powerful and well-researched. The Lost Girls of Autism shines a much-needed spotlight on a critical issue'' – Dr Maureen Dunne, author of The Neurodiversity EdgeThe history of autism is male. It is time for women and girls to enter the spotlight.When autistic girls meet clinicians, they are often misdiagnosed with anxiety, depression, personality disorders – or receive no diagnosis at all. Autism’s ‘male spotlight’ means we are only now starting to redress this profound injustice.In The Lost Girls of Autism, renowned brain scientist Gina Rippon delves into the emerging science of female autism, asking why it has been systematically ignored for so long. Generations of researchers, convinced autism was a male problem, simply didn’t bother looking for it in women. But it is now becoming increasingly clear that many autistic women and girls do not fit the traditional, male, model of autism. Instead, they camouflage and mask, hiding their autistic traits to accommodate a society that shuns them.Urgent and insightful, this is a searching examination of how sexism has biased our understanding of autism. Informed by the latest research in psychology and neuroscience, The Lost Girls of Autism is a clarion call for society to recognize the full spectrum of autistic experience.

“A GRIPPING CLASSIC. Exhaustively researched, The Hunter Killers puts you directly into a Wild Weasel fighter cockpit during the Vietnam War. Dan Hampton lets you feel it for yourself as no one else could.”--Colonel LEO THORSNESS, Wild Weasel pilot and Medal of Honor recipientAt the height of the Cold War, America''s most elite aviators bravely volunteered for a covert program aimed at eliminating an impossible new threat. Half never returned. All became legends. From New York Times bestselling author Dan Hampton comes one of the most extraordinary untold stories of aviation history.Vietnam, 1965: On July 24 a USAF F-4 Phantom jet was suddenly blown from the sky by a mysterious and lethal weapon—a Soviet SA-2 surface-to-air missile (SAM), launched by Russian "advisors" to North Vietnam. Three days later, six F-105 Thunderchiefs were brought down trying to avenge the Phantom. More tragic losses followed, establishing the enemy''s SAMs as the deadliest anti-aircraft threat in history and dramatically turning the tables of Cold War air superiority in favor of Soviet technology.Stunned and desperately searching for answers, the Pentagon ordered a top secret program called Wild Weasel I to counter the SAM problem—fast. So it came to be that a small group of maverick fighter pilots and Electronic Warfare Officers volunteered to fly behind enemy lines and into the teeth of the threat. To most it seemed a suicide mission—but they beat the door down to join. Those who survived the 50 percent casualty rate would revolutionize warfare forever."You gotta be sh*#@ing me!" This immortal phrase was uttered by Captain Jack Donovan when the Wild Weasel concept was first explained to him. "You want me to fly in the back of a little tiny fighter aircraft with a crazy fighter pilot who thinks he''s invincible, home in on a SAM site in North Vietnam, and shoot it before it shoots me?"Based on unprecedented firsthand interviews with Wild Weasel veterans and previously unseen personal papers and declassified documents from both sides of the conflict, as well as Dan Hampton''s own experience as a highly decorated F-16 Wild Weasel pilot, The Hunter Killers is a gripping, cockpit-level chronicle of the first-generation Weasels, the remarkable band of aviators who faced head-on the advanced Soviet missile technology that was decimating fellow American pilots over the skies of Vietnam.

WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY AMY LIPTROTSHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 1994WINNER OF THE SALTIRE SOCIETY LITERARY AWARD 1994''Intimate, humorous, effortlessly combining the strands of history and folklore, the past and the present, this is a deceptively simple book, like a tale told to a child. But its echoes sound on unforgettably. A whole universe is created from a grain of Orkney sand'' IndependentIn this novel set on the fictitious island of Norday in the Orkneys, George Mackay Brown beckons us into the imaginary world of the young Thorfinn Ragnarson, the son of a crofter. In his day-dreams he relives the history of this island people, travelling back in time to join Viking adventurers at the court of the Byzantine Emperor in Constantinople, then accompanying a Falstaffian knight to the battle of Bannockburn.Thorfinn wakes to the twentieth century and a community whose way of life, steeped in legend and tradition, has remained unchanged for centuries. But as the boy grows up - and falls in love with a vivacious and mysterious stranger - the transforming effect of modern civilization brings momentous and irreversible changes to the island. During the Second World War Thorfinn finds himself in a German prisoner-of-war camp, and it is here that he discovers his gifts as a writer.Long afterwards he returns, now a successful novelist, to a deserted and battle-scarred island. Searching for the peace and freedom of mind he had in abundance as a child, he finds instead something he didn''t even know he was looking for.George Mackay Brown intertwines myth and reality to create a novel of deceptive simplicity. The story of Thorfinn and the island of Norday is a universal and profound one, rooted in the timeless landscape of the Orkneys, the inspiration of all his writing.
