Far from fading with time, Kenneth Grahame's classic tale of fantasy has attracted a growing audience in each generation. Rat, Mole, Badger and the preposterous Mr Toad (with his ‘Poop-poop-poop’ road-hogging new motor-car), have brought delight to many through the years with their odd adventures on and by the river, and at the imposing residence of Toad Hall. 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.

Jak báječně by si Krtek a Krysík lebedili v bytečku u řeky, která si tak líně plyne odnikud nikam, kdyby… Kdyby si majitel blízkého Žabihradu, neblaze proslulý (oboj)živel a poděs pan Žabák, nehrál na závodníka Formule 1 a netropil alotria, že i pobouřený Jezevec vylezl z nory. Kdyby na světě nebyli sousedi, jak by se tu panečku žilo… Kenneth Grahame komentuje anglický způsob života se skotskou vzdorností, až z toho lordi blednou, lůza rudne a čtenář se řehtá. Autorova pohádka o zvířatech v nás pochází ze zlatého věku secese, je však stále moderní svou poťouchlostí, často i ztřeštěností. Piráti silnic i strojvůdci parních lokomotiv v ní sviští rychlostí větru krajinou sladkého domova a padouši v temnotě lesa kují pikle, neboť uhlazený ostrovní způsob života se jim z lasičí duše příčí. A přestože zde bude svedena velkolepá bitva, až budou chlupy lítat, vyrovná se tento klenot světové literatury pro děti a mládež humorně něžným příhodám Medvídka Pú. Souzní s nimi přece myšlenkou: s řádem a spořádaností není radno hazardovat už jen proto, že nic šikovnějšího doteď nikdo nevymyslel. Moderní klasika v novém českém překladu! Dobrodruh Žabák v nejskvělejší formě!

Audiokniha: Slavná anglická kniha pro děti i dospělé o Panu Krtkovi, Vodní Kryse, Panu Jezevcovi a domýšlivém Žabákovi, kterému přátelé pomohou z velkých nesnází. S příchodem jara se Krtek chce věnovat jarnímu úklidu, ale už po chvíli ho smýčení nebaví a vyrazí do světa za dobrodružstvím. Potká Vodní Krysu a spolu zažijí nejednu veselou historku, které vyplňují hlavní dějovou linku knihy o polepšení namyšleného, hloupého a egocentrického Žabáka. Ten porušuje jak morálku, tak zákon a nemá nikde stání. Z nudy vymýšlí každou chvíli nějaká rozptýlení, která ho ale stejně brzo přestávají bavit. Naši hrdinové (i s pomocí rozvážného a moudrého pana Jezevce) ale ví, co je správné a Žabákovi pomohou nejen znovu získat ztracené panství, které mu ukradly lstivé lasičky s tchoři, ale také zjistit, co je v životě důležité. Kniha se stala natolik populární, že inspirovala mnohé spisovatele a hudebníky k jejich dílům. Například autora Medvíka Pú A. A. Milneho nebo irského písničkáře Van Morrisona či Pink Floyd.

The barbarian nomads of the Eurasian steppes played a decisive role in world history, but their achievements have gone largely unnoticed. These tribes produced some of the world’s greatest conquerors: Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan and Tamerlane, among others.And their deeds still resonate today. Indeed, these nomads built long-lasting empires, facilitated the first global trade of the Silk Road and disseminated religions, technology, knowledge and goods of every description that enriched and changed the lives of so many across Europe, China and the Middle East. From a single region emerged a great many peoples – the Huns, the Mongols, the Magyars, the Turks, the Xiongnu, the Scythians, the Goths – all of whom went on to profoundly and irrevocably shape the modern world.In this enthralling new history, Professor Kenneth W. Harl draws on a lifetime of scholarship to vividly recreate the lives of these peoples from their beginnings to the early modern age. Their brutal struggle to survive on the steppes bred a resilient, pragmatic people ever-ready to learn from their neighbours.In warfare, they dominated the battlefield for over fifteen hundred years. Under charismatic rulers, they could topple empires and win their own.

Far from being yesterday''s fading, forgotten format, vinyl records have survived and flourished as the music medium of choice for not only baby-boomers, but all ages. Every record a collector acquires comes with a story of its own, and the recent Covid-19 lockdowns prompted many vinylholics, including Graham Sharpe, to look more closely at their reasons for collecting, take stock of existing collections and rediscover old favourites. Vinyl Countdown followed Sharpe''s journey to over a hundred record shops across the globe, from Amsterdam and Angus, to Bedfordshire and Budapest, Tennessee and Wellington. Now, ON THE RECORDs: Notes from the Vinyl Revival explores the impact of recent global events on the record industry and considers the reasons why vinyl remains a beloved and booming format. It includes interviews and contributions from voices across the industry shop owners, record company insiders, online/postal sellers, auction organisers, market traders of vinyl, amateur collectors who share their stories with candour, warmth and humour.

Read and rebel!'' POLLY TOYNBEEWe''re constantly told the same things about the monarchy:But the monarchy is good for tourism..It isn''t! Evidence points to some royal weddings actually having a negative impact on inbound tourism.But the monarchy makes a big difference to charity..Of the approx. 1,200 charities with a royal patron, 74% had no contact with their patron during the preceding year.But everyone loves the monarchy..A January 2023 poll showed support for the monarchy is down 55 percent.It''s wrong in principle and it doesn''t work in practice. It doesn''t have to be this way.They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, to be a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there''s an elephant in the room.At the heart of power is a single family. They weren''t elected but they live off the public purse. They aren''t accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Divinely appointed using a special hat, the head of the family is your superior, you his subject. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution - but we''re also told he wouldn''t dream of interfering in politics.If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don''t have to accept it. True democracy is within our reach.

The first book in the delicious, icy-hot Campus Diaries series, a spinoff of BookTok sensations Off Campus and Briar U, by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy. Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine–a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude…and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy. Briar's new hockey co-captain has his reasons, though. The men's team just merged with a rival program, leaving Ryder with an angry roster where everyone hates one another's guts. To make matters worse, the summer coaching spot he's angling for with the legendary Garrett Graham is out of reach after he makes the worst possible first impression on his hero. So, really, this compromise with Gigi is win-win. He helps her make the national team, she puts in a good word with her dad. The only potential snag? This bone-deep, body-numbing, mind-spinning chemistry they're trying to ignore. It's a dangerous game they're playing, but the risks just might be worth it.

'I suspect the real breakthroughs in our understanding of consciousness are going to come from an entirely different direction. That direction, controversially, has to do with psychedelics - which, as many of the contributors to The Divine Spark argue, offer spectacular potential for the investigation of the "hard problem" of consciousness.' - Graham Hancock, from the Introduction.
