Statisíce lidí považují Tajemství úspěchu za studnici moudrosti a vědění, ze které je možné neustále čerpat. Říká se jí také "příručka pro prezidenty", protože spousta významných manažerů a prezidentů velkých společností se ztotožnila s filozofií Earla Nightingala natolik, že se stala součástí jejich koncepce. Tento výjimečný program vás ohromí tím, jak jednoduše v něm Earl Nightingale prezentuje své nadčasové myšlenky: "Úspěch či neúspěch člověka nezávisí na štěstí, na okolnostech, na osudu, náhodě, známostech nebo na kterémkoliv z dalších otřepaných starých mýtů a frází, jež slouží neznalým lidem jako výmluva. Úspěch je pouze výsledkem dodržování určitých pravidel, založených na zdravém rozumu - návod, kterým se může řídit každý." Tajemství úspěchu změnilo mnohem víc životů, přineslo mnohem víc nečekaných úspěchů, pomohlo většímu počtu lidí stát se milionáři a zachránilo mnohem víc kariér, důležitých zaměstnání i manželství, než kterýkoliv jiný program. Navíc pravidla, o nichž se zde mluví, se nemění; je možné je použít v jakékoliv situaci a fungují za všech okolností.

Francie 1939. V tiché vesničce jménem Carriveau se Vianne Mauriacová loučí se svým manželem Antoinem, který byl povolán do zbraně. Vianne nevěří, že by skutečně mohlo dojít k válce, jenomže Němci vpadnou do Francie a země je rázem plná nepřátel, tanků a bojových letadel. Když se pak ve Viannině domě usadí německý kapitán, musí osamělá žena vycházet nepříteli vstříc, jinak přijde o vše. Bez jídla i naděje čelí nelehkým rozhodnutím, v nichž jde o život či smrt nejen její a jejích blízkých. Kristin Hannahová se narodila v roce 1960 v Kalifornii, od svých osmi let žila ve státě Washington. Chvíli pracovala v reklamní agentuře, poté studovala práva. Když jí maminka předpověděla, že se stane spisovatelkou, nevěřila jí, ale začala si dělat poznámky ke svému prvnímu vyprávění. Během těhotenství se k poznámkám vrátila, napsala první knihu a zanedlouho se stala profesionální spisovatelkou. Její román Cesta svatojánských mušek (2008, česky 2010) se stal nečekaným bestsellerem.

Nezabudnuteľný román, inšpirovaný skutočným príbehom z druhej svetovej vojny, o mladej žene, ktorá pomáha židovským deťom utiecť pred nacistami Eva, knihovníčka na polovičnom dôchodku na Floride, si raz ráno všimne fotografiu v časopise pohodenom na výpožičnom pulte. Pri pohľade na ňu sa jej zastaví dych. Je na nej kniha, ktorú nevidela už vyše šesťdesiat rokov a ktorú sama nazvala Kniha stratených mien.V článku k fotografii sa píše o nemeckom knihovníkovi, ktorý hľadá pôvodných majiteľov kníh ukoristených počas vojny nacistami, aby im ich mohol vrátiť. K najzaujímavejším patrí kniha náboženských textov z osemnásteho storočia. Zdá sa totiž, že obsahuje nejaký kód, ale výskumníci v Berlíne ho nedokážu rozlúštiť ani zistiť pôvod knihy. A Eva je jediná, kto pozná odpoveď. No bude mať dostatok síl, aby sa vrátila k starým spomienkam a pomohla uviesť veci na pravú mieru?V roku 1942 bola Eva, ešte študentka, nútená utiecť z Paríža po tom, čo zatkli jej otca, poľského Žida. Útočisko našla v mestečku v horách v slobodnej zóne, kde začala falšovať preukazy totožnosti a iné dokumenty pre židovské deti, ktoré bolo treba dostať cez hranice do Švajčiarska. Vymazávať ľudí z pamäti však nie je len tak, preto sa Eva spolu so svojím partnerom vo falšovaní, záhadným Rémym, rozhodne, že musia nájsť spôsob, ako zachovať pôvodné mená detí, často primalých na to, aby si pamätali, kým boli. Záznamy, ktoré vpisujú do Knihy stratených mien, pre ňu nadobudnú ešte väčší význam, keď ich bunku odhalia a Rémy zmizne.
