Koho by napadlo, že i on kdysi dávno býval malým chlapcem? Jmenoval se Nikolas a narodil se ve Finsku v rodině chudé tak, že jeho jedinou hračkou byl panáček vyřezaný z tuřínu. O maminku brzy přišel a jeho tatínek se jednoho dne připojil ke královské výpravě hledající daleko na severu bájné elfy. Jenže se dlouho nevracel, a tak se ho Nikolas se svým myším kamarádem vydal hledat. A to byl začátek velkého napínavého dobrodružství, v němž nechybí elfové, kouzla, skřítci, létající sobi, ba ani troll a na jehož konci bude lidský svět o poznání šťastnějším a magičtějším místem k životu… Mimořádně úspěšná kniha pro děti se v roce 2021 dočkala neméně kouzelné filmové adaptace. „Andersenovská nevinnost příběhu je protkána temnotou a černým humorem ve stylu Roalda Dahla.“ – Tony Bradman, The Guardian. „Úžasná směsice pohádky a vtipu.

Audiokniha: Který život je pro nás ten pravý? Každý z nás už někdy přemýšlel nad tím, jestli ve svém životě nemohl udělat něco jinak a kam by ho takové rozhodnutí posléze nasměrovalo. Nora Seedová takovou možnost dostane, když se ocitne v tajemné Půlnoční knihovně – ale ruku na srdce, měnit by s ní chtěl asi jen málokdo. Aby se tam totiž dostala, musela se ocitnout na prahu života a smrti, a to v jejím případě vlastním přičiněním. Nořin dosavadní život byl plný zoufalství a výčitek a jednoho dne ji pocit, že všechny zklamala a nikdo ji nepotřebuje, dovedl až k pokusu o sebevraždu. Nyní to však vypadá, že dostala druhou šanci, respektive takřka nekonečné množství druhých šancí. Půlnoční knihovna tápající ženě umožní odčinit hříchy její minulosti a vyzkoušet si nejrůznější alternativní životní role – stát se starostlivou manželkou, slavnou zpěvačkou, uznávanou filozofkou, úspěšnou sportovkyní nebo milující matkou. Záleží už jen na ní, jestli mezi tolika životními cestami dokáže najít takovou, která by ji dovedla ke štěstí… Románový bestseller se stal v roce 2020 vítězem ankety Goodreads Choice Award v kategorii beletrie. „Strhující čtení, plné vřelosti a humoru, které opěvuje moc knih měnit lidské životy.“ – Ian Critchley, Sunday Times. „Vize neomezených možností, nových cest, nových životů, úplně jiného světa, který je nám někde otevřen – to by mohlo být přesně to, o co v této neklidné a znepokojivé době stojíme.“ – Karen Joy Fowler, The New York Times.

Loni měl však na Štědrý den poněkud jiné starosti: Elfhelm totiž zákeřně napadli obludní trollové. A tak malá chuděra, jež po smrti milované maminky otročí v obávané robotárně bezcitného pana Plazila, začala svou víru ve vánoční kouzla pomalu ztrácet. O rok později Otec Vánoce plánuje nebohým dětem všechno vynahradit a začít chce právě u těžce zkoušené Amélie. Kromě věrných elfů a sobů mu při jejím vysvobozování pomůže dívčin kocour Kapitán Sazinka, slavný romanopisec Charles Dickens, dokonce i sama britská královna Viktorie! Mezitím se zvídavá elfka Nuš snaží vypátrat, co trolly přimělo napadnout mírumilovné sousedy a pokazit tím magický svátek, který přináší dětem po celém světě radost a naději… Pokračování oblíbené dětské knížky Kluk jménem Vánoce, jež vykouzlila úsměv na tvářích mnoha malých čtenářů a dočkala se i úspěšné filmové adaptace. „Holka, která zachránila Vánoce je předurčena stát se vánoční klasikou.“ – Kids’ Book Review. „Půvabné a hřejivé vyprávění není přespříliš vyumělkované ani sentimentální. Obsahuje řadu nečekaně hlubokých momentů.“ – The Guardian. Otec Vodol udělal krok vpřed a zamumlal: „To nejde.“ Dav elfů opět zalapal po dechu a rodiče dětem zacpali uši. „Otče Vodole, prosím, žádná sprostá slova, jsou tu děti,“ upozornil ho Otec Vánoce a pak se zase obrátil ke shromážděným. „Je mi jasné, že to vypadá… obtížně. Ale jeden velice moudrý elf mi kdysi řekl, že nic není ne…, no zkrátka tamto slovo. A na nás dneska v noci spoléhá každé lidské dítě. My jim to kouzlo musíme dát.“ – ukázka z knihy.

Audiokniha: Štědrý večer ohrožen! Otec Vánoce čelí pomluvám a Elfhelm zachvátil zmatek… Osiřelá Amélie našla nový domov a k tomu ty nejlepší adoptivní rodiče, jaké si jen mohla přát – vždy dobře naladěného Otce Vánoce a jeho usměvavou manželku Mary. Jenže zapadnout mezi elfy není pro lidskou holku vůbec snadné, natožpak chodit s nimi do školy. Ve zpívání koled či vymýšlení vtipů zrovna nevyniká a hlava jí nebere ani to, co se zde vyučuje v tradičnějších předmětech, jako jsou matematika nebo zeměpis. A k tomu si znepřátelila zákeřného Otce Vodola, kterého její nový tatínek kdysi připravil o místo v čele elfské rady. Pak už stačí jedna menší nehoda se zbrusu novými saněmi a z někdejší hrdinky, která zachránila Vánoce, je rázem vyvrhelka plnící titulní stránky Vodolova lživého deníku. Se zlomeným srdcem proto Amélie plánuje návrat do lidského světa, ale vtom události v Elfhelmu naberou spád. A náhle je to zase ona – a několik jejích nejbližších –, na kom závisí osud blížících se Vánoc. Kouzelný příběh z mrazivého Severu, navazující na zfilmovanou pohádku Kluk jménem Vánoce a její pokračování Holka, která zachránila Vánoce. „Napínavý, veselý příběh, který krom podmanivé vánoční atmosféry přináší i podnět k zamyšlení nad tím, co znamená někam patřit a co vede lidi (a taky elfy a králíky) k nenávisti.“ – Daily Mail „Úžasná knížka plná kouzel, legrace a dobrodružství je jako stvořená ke čtení pod vánočním stromkem.“ – The Week

Sžíravý pocit viny, že kdysi nedokázala zabránit tragické smrti malého syna, jí už celé dekády brání radovat se ze života. Upjatá seniorka proto zaskočí sebe samu, když se znenadání vypraví na Ibizu, kde jí záhadně zmizelá přítelkyně odkázala domek. Do vyhlášené destinace, proslulé přírodními krásami a divokými večírky, odletí s cílem zjistit, co se dávné kamarádce přihodilo. Ovšem to, co na malebném ostrově najde, překoná její nejbujnější fantazie a donutí ji pohlédnout na svět jinýma očima. Průvodcem pochybovačné Britky na cestě k novému smyslu života se stává postarší Alberto s vizáží piráta – kdysi uznávaný mořský biolog, jenž se zdiskreditoval knihou o mimozemské síle obývající vodstva Středozemního moře.

Hroutila jsem se, ale zároveň jsem se viděla. Byla jsem otevřená jako rozbité rádio, stála jsem tváří v tvář svým vlastním nefunkčním cívkám, obvodům a tranzistorům. Všem vadám a nesrovnalostem. A možná to bylo ono. Možná se to stalo právě proto, že jsem tam ležela, rozbitá, paradoxně otupělá a rozbolavělá zároveň. Možná že když křičíš potichu, i pomoc se dostaví neslyšně. Možná vesmír naslouchal. Třeba zachytil můj signál.Nevím. Ale něco se zcela určitě stalo. A načasování bylo dokonalé. – ukázka z knihy

Following the massive success of Book 1: The Impaler, Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones continue their story between the lines of Dracula in this second graphic novel volume! One of the most eerie and memorable parts of the Dracula legend is the presence of his vampiric Brides, says writer Matt Wagner. In both the novel and the litany of screen adaptations, the appearance of these beautiful and seductive sirens is always an indelible part of the narrative. And, of course, this presents us with yet another dark and beguiling story to be told. Who were these women before they became part of Dracula s sinister harem? How and why did he come to claim them as his undead paramours? And what role do they ultimately play in his ongoing saga? This 120-page volume dives deeper into the story of Dracula s brides, and the lives and horrors they faced before they married the ultimate evil.

In 2005 a Vatican-run university opened its doors to priests from around the world, running a course for would-be exorcists. Looking for a story, Rome-based investigative journalist Matt Baglio attended the class, and there met Father Gary Thomas -- a Californian priest who had been chosen to attend by his bishop. Father Gary was concerned that many of the possessed were in reality suffering from psychological disorders best left to the care of doctors. How and why his view changed is the subject of this book. We follow Father Gary s year-long training with a senior exorcist as he is transformed from a doubter into a believer. Baglio gained unprecedented access to this world, including participating in exorcisms and culminating with Father Gary s own fearsome confrontation with the Devil. Woven into his story is the fascinating history of exorcism, its rites and rituals, and the ways and reasons that people become possessed. Matt Baglio speaks to psychologists and detectives, as well as Vatican clergy, to wrinkle out the truth about this most Gothic of subjects. The Riteis proof that the truth about demonic possession is not only stranger than fiction, but far more chilling.

Matt Hern argues that the changing relationship between the urban center and the suburban periphery forces us to rethink the entire identity of the city itself. Today, most of the Western world lives on the city outskirts. Yet these neighborhoods that once offered security and respite from the perceived dangers of the city center have been radically transformed in the last few decades to poor, working-class and racialized communities. Outside the Outside maps these changes and argues for a revival of the social life of the city as a whole.Hern shows how language that relegates parts of the urban to the outside and designates other parts as the center echoes colonial forms of domination. This should come as no surprise in an era when communities are forced onto the periphery and beyond by gentrification.With on-the-ground reportage in, among other places, Vancouver, Portland, London, Ferguson and Rabat, Hern demonstrates how we need to challenge our misconceptions and see the sub-urbs as vibrant places of resistance and regeneration and to celebrate the movement, circulation and difference to be found there.

Now available in trade paper!Are you ready to live fully prepared and fully equipped to handle anything life throws at you? As Christians, we can be courageous and confident, knowing that God has placed us in human history for His purposes, and He will empower us regardless of our circumstances. Drawing on the book of Revelation and historical examples, The Overcomers will put steel in the spines of believers and remind them of the fierce, conquering, commanding authority of God over all the earth.You were made for this exact moment in human history. Things may look gloomy, and you may feel discouraged, but because of the promise and hope found in Scripture, you can be brave, confident, and victorious today! In The Overcomers, Matt Chandler reminds readers that they don t have to be anxious or afraid of anything in the present or in the future because both have already been won. We are not victims but overcomers—and we are a key part of what God is working out in our day. God is at work in the mess, just as He has always been, and He continues to accomplish His purpose of seeking and saving the lost.In this book, believers will:Find courage and confidence from fellow believers who have gone before us.Feel empowered as God reminds them of His promises fulfilled and yet to come.Understand the strategies, tactics, and deceptions Satan uses to try to keep us paralyzed with anxiety and fear.Learn to live a victorious Christian life marked by the power and presence of God. The apostle John wrote his letter to a certain group of people in a particular place at a specific time. Although it was written to them, it was also written for us. The Overcomers takes a chapter-by-chapter view of Revelation rather than a line-by-line deep dive, helping readers practically understand what God wants to say to us today through this extraordinary book written thousands of years ago. Believers will be reminded that they are uniquely wired and uniquely placed in this moment in history as part of God s big plan to push back darkness and to establish light. Christ has overcome, and in Him we, too, are the overcomers!

Sophisticated, evocative, and delicious, the martini will never go out of style. Appearing in countless movies-for example, any one of the Bond films-it s one of the most popular and well-known cocktails of all time. Making a martini is simplicity personified, the classic recipe requiring just two ingredients (not counting the garnish): gin and vermouth. And now man-about-town Matt Hranek is here to tell us everything we need to know about the iconic cocktail. Like Hranek s The Negroni, The Martini will give readers insight into the drink s nineteenth-century-origins, as well as the tools for making 35 simple variations of the drink-a combination of recipes from the author, recipes from experts/bartenders around the world, and iconic versions that any martini fanatic needs to have on hand. Included are the author s own version, always with gin (never vodka), served ice cold and dry with a twist of lemon (or, on very rare occasions, like when he is hungry, an olive); the Martinez (circa 1849), named for the city of Martinez about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco, where some say this all began; a lime martini, a nod to Hranek s father, who loved a gin and tonic; and New York City legend Russ Daughters Cafe s own martinis, The Lower East Side and The Smoked Martini. There will be details on ingredients, methods (to shake or to stir?), garnish, equipment, glassware; where to get the best martini around the world, and more. Beautiful original and archival photography make this an irresistible gift for anyone who loves to enjoy a martini.

Wines from Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage and Châteauneuf-du-Pape have made the Rhône Valley world famous. This may be a classic wine region, but as Matt Walls reveals in Wines of the Rhône that doesn⠙t mean it is set in its ways. Change here is not only driven by innovations in winemaking and fashions in wine, it is also an essential response to a rapidly shifting climate, which has seen temperatures rise significantly over the last 40 years and extreme weather events become more commonplace. Walls provides a rounded picture of this large and complex region, which varies greatly along the 200-kilometre stretch of river, from Vienne in the north to Provence in the south. Beginning with a vivid journey through the terrain, he explores one of the region⠙s constants, its varied geology, before moving on to the pressing issue of climate. A short tour through the Rhône⠙s winemaking history, from early Greek settlers to the modern industry, is followed by vignettes of all the AOC-permitted grapes and an explanation of the five levels of the region⠙s appellation system. Walls encourages readers to venture beyond the famous crus, making it easy for those eager to explore by detailing the terroir of every appellation and describing and assessing typical wines. Profiles of 200 key producers complete the picture. Boxes throughout the text provide interesting asides on current issues as well as key appellation facts, while an appendix on ageing wines offers a guide to the last 40 vintages. This comprehensive examination of a renowned region is an ideal introduction for those new to the Rhône, while providing fresh insights for long-time admirers of the wines.
