The Name Of The Wind - Patrick Rothfuss
'I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me' So begins the tale of Kvothe - currently known as Kote, the unassuming innkeepter - from his childhood in a troupe of traveling players, through his years spent as a near-feral orphan in a crime-riddled city, to his daringly brazen yet successful bid to enter a difficult and dangerous school of magic. In these pages you will come to know Kvothe the notorious magician, the accomplished thief, the masterful musician, the dragon-slayer, the legend-hunter, the lover, the thief and the infamous assassin. The Name of the Wind is fantasy at its very best, and an astounding must-read title.

Jméno větru - Patrick Rothfuss
Jmenuji se Kvothe. Unášel jsem spícím mohylovým králům ukradené princezny. Spálil jsem město Trebon. Strávil jsem noc s Felurian a odešel živý a při smyslech. Byl jsem vyloučen z Univerzity ve věku mladším, než na ni lidé obvykle vstupují. Mluvil jsem s bohy, miloval ženy a skládal písně, při kterých minstrelové vzlykali. Možná jste o mně slyšeli.Tak začíná Kvothův příběh – od jeho dětství strávené ve skupině potulných herců, přes léta prožitá jako polodivoký sirotek na ulicích zločinem prolezlého města až po drzý a nepřehlédnutelný vstup do obtížného a nebezpečného studia magie na slavné Univerzitě. Na samém počátku však Kvotha potkáváme již jako zkušeného mága, zručného zloděje, suverénního muzikanta a neblaze proslulého vraha.Ale ve Jménu větru se toho o něm skrývá mnohem víc, vždyť jde o pravdivé zobrazení událostí skrývajících se za legendou o Kvothovi Královrahovi.

Meno vetra - Patrick Rothfuss
Volám sa Kvothe. Oslobodil som princezné od spiacich hlinených kráľov. Do tla som vypálil mesto Trebon. Strávil som noc s Felurian a neprišiel som o život ani o zdravý rozum. Keď ma vylúčili z univerzity, nemal som ani toľko rokov, v koľkých tam väčšinu študentov prijmú. Len vo svetle mesiaca som vstúpil na cesty, o ktorých sa iní báli rozprávať aj za bieleho dňa. Hovoril som s bohmi, miloval ženy a skladal piesne, pri ktorých trubadúri plakali. Možno ste o mne už počuli.Takto sa začína príbeh, ktorý nemá v žánri fantasy literatúry obdobu. Príbeh Kvotha: chlapcovo detstvo v skupine potulných umelcov, roky, ktoré ako polodivoká sirota strávil v meste plnom zločinu, drzo odvážny, no predsa úspešný pokus vstúpiť do ťažkej a nebezpečnej školy mágie, aj život na úteku po vražde kráľa.Meno vetra, strhujúci príbeh napísaný rukou básnika, je majstrovské dielo, ktoré čitateľa prenesie do tela a mysle čarodejníka. Ponúka príbeh hrdinu vyrozprávaný jeho vlastným hlasom. Je to príbeh o smútku, prežití, hľadaní zmyslu v jeho svete a o tom, ako spolu s nezlomnou vôľou, ktorá ho poháňala, stáli za zrodom legendy.

The Name of This Band Is R.E.M.: A Biography - Peter Ames Carlin
An electrifying cultural biography of the greatest and last American rock band of the millennium, whose music ignited a generation—and reasserted the power of rock and rollIn the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world – with smash records like Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.’s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen. In the tumultuous transition between the wide-open 80s and the anxiety of the early 90s, R.E.M. challenged the corporate and social order, chasing a vision and cultivating a magnetic, transgressive sound.In this rich, intimate biography, critically acclaimed author Peter Ames Carlin looks beyond the sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll to open a window into the fascinating lives of four college friends – Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry – who stuck together at any cost, until the end. Deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic, steeped in 80s and 90s nostalgia, The Name of This Band is R.E.M. paints a cultural history of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at the apotheosis of rock.

Grahame's book was later dramatised by A. A. Milne, and became a perennial Christmas favourite, as Toad of Toad Hall. It continues to enchant and, above all perhaps, inspire great affection.
