Na tú sa takmer vôbec nepamätá. V Kate postupne rastie podozrenie, že jej prateta čosi tajila.

Matka ju v detstve naučila kúzla, tie však nespočívajú v čarovaní, ale v hlbokom poznaní prírody. Odlišné ženy sa však vždy považovali za nebezpečné, a keď proti nej predložia dôkazy o čarodejníctve, Altha si uvedomí, že bude potrebovať všetku svoju silu, aby sa udržala na slobode. 1942: Vo svete zúri druhá svetová vojna a Violet je uväznená v pôsobivom, ale rozpadajúcom sa rodinnom sídle.

A rich and unforgettable tragic-comic novel of sexual intrigue and political scheming, The House of Ulloa is one of the greatest works of nineteenth-century Spanish literature.The House of Ulloa follows pure and pious Father Julián Alvarez, who is sent to a remote country estate to put the affairs of the marquis, an irresponsible libertine, in order. When he discovers moral decadence, cruelty and corruption at his new home, Julián''s well-meaning but ineffectual attempts to prevent the fall of the House of Ulloa end in tragedy. Combining gothic elements with humour and social satire, The House of Ulloa is the finest achievement of Emilia Pardo Bazán, a prolific writer, feminist, traveller and intellectual, and one of the most dynamic figures of her time.Brilliantly balancing biting satire and gothic undertones, and evoking a rich sense of place, this is a wonderful novel that deserves to be ranked with the other great books of the period. The Countess Emilia Pardo Bazán was born in 1851 and married at sixteen. After separating from her husband, she embarked on an affair with novelist Benito Pérez Galdós. The House of Ulloa (1886) is generally considered as her masterpiece among her many literary works. Professor Paul O''Prey ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Letter to the Romans, in Emil Brunner''s estimations, is, of all the books of the Bible, the closest to a theological treatise. Throughout centuries of Christian history, much has depended on the understanding and evaluation of Paul''s letter to the Romans.Theologians have continued to consider the central questions of interpretation: what did Paul want to say to the Romans, and what does God want to say to us today? In Brunner''s meditation on the great Epistle, he elucidates the Pauline arguments and interpretations which have long been foundational to Christian belief.

While his boyhood friend Pierre Sandoz becomes a successful novelist, Claude''s originality is mocked at the Salon and turns gradually into a doomed obsession with one great canvas. Life - in the form of his model and wife Christine and their deformed child Jacques - is sacrificed on the altar of Art.The Masterpiece is the most autobiographical of the twenty novels in Zola''s Rougon-Macquart series. Set in the 1860s and 1870s, it provides a unique insight into his career as a writer and his relationship with Cézanne, a friend since their schooldays in Aix-en-Provence.

''It was the time when the rush for spoils filled a corner of the forest with the yelping of hounds, the cracking of whips, the flaring of torches. The appetites let loose were satisfied at last, shamelessly, amid the sound of crumbling neighbourhoods and fortunes made in six months. The city had become an orgy of gold and women.''The Kill (La Curée) is the second volume in Zola''s great cycle of twenty novels, Les Rougon-Macquart, and the first to establish Paris - the capital of modernity - as the centre of Zola''s narrative world. Conceived as a representation of the uncontrollable ''appetites'' unleashed by the Second Empire (1852-70) and the transformation of the city by Baron Haussmann, the novel combines into a single, powerful vision the twin themes of lust for money and lust for pleasure.

''in this life, even if you don''t ask for much you still end up with bugger all!'' In a run-down quarter of Paris, Gervaise Macquart struggles to earn a living and support her family. She earns a pittance washing other people''s dirty clothes in the local washhouse, and dreams of having her own laundry. But in order to start her business she must incur debt, and her feckless husband cannot resist the lure of the Assommoir, the local bar that supplies all the working men with cheap spirits and absinthe. As her money troubles grow, so Gervaise''s life begins to spiral out of control, and she is trapped in a vicious web of want and neglect.The Assommoir is a pivotal novel in Zola''s Rougon-Macquart series. In it he lays bare the terrible poverty of the Parisian underclass, living in overcrowded tenements, addicted to drink, a world of squalor, and casual violence. It contains some of Zola''s most powerful and graphic writing, unforgettable portrayals of individuals and their environment, and the fine line between self-respect and ruin.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of autism? Often, it''s a boy who struggles with friendships, but who loves trains and is great at maths. While this may reflect the experiences of some autistic people, in recent years research and first-hand accounts have shown that many others don''t conform to this image. The historical perception of autism as a "male condition" as well as simplistic stereotypes have led to an under-identification of autism in some girls and women - and, indeed, in all people, regardless of gender, who do not fit this mould.This straightforward, one-stop guide introduces you to the differing presentations of autism that are common in girls, but also explores why referring to ''male'' and ''female'' autism is too reductive. Describing why some autistic girls'' needs are identified late or not at all, looking at friendships and relationships, education, mental health and puberty, this concise, easy-to-understand and informative book draws on both lived experience and research to offer a popular science overview of this important topic.
