Nebo se k tomu můžete dopracovat vlastní pílí jako Škyťák Šelmovská Štika III., známý válečnický náčelník kmene Chlupatých chuligánů, obávaný bojovník a amatérský přírodovědec. Ani jeho cesta na trůn však nebyla jednoduchá. První zkouškou odvahy pro bojovné mladíky je totiž obtížný úkol: chytit a ochočit si draka. Škyťák se však v dětství coby potenciální následník příliš nepředvedl; byl hochem nemotorným, nevysokým a nešikovným, více než svaly se snažil používat důvtip. Nicméně jeho chabý úlovek - mrňavý a bezzubý dráček - ukáže, že se v něm (stejně jako v jeho "krotiteli") možná skrývá víc, než je na první pohled patrné. Začíná báječné dobrodružství plné strašlivých netvorů, zbrusu nových metod výcviku draků a spousty legrace... Příběh se stal také předlohou stejnojmenného úspěšného animovaného filmu z roku 2010 i jeho pokračování Jak vycvičit draka 2 (2014). Studio DreamWorks připravuje i další snímek z této série.

''A highly readable and spiritually uplifting book about a dream come true'' Wanderlust ''Touching and memorable ... one for armchair travellers and bike freaks'' Daily MailFrom London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls'' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride more than twenty thousand miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream.

From acclaimed historian John Ferling, a major, global reappraisal of the Revolutionary War on its 250th Anniversary.In April 1775, British troops marched to Lexington, where an armed group of Yankees awaited them. Despite an order to disperse, shots rang out. Militiamen were killed. The British continued marching, only to find even greater trouble in Concord and all the way down the road back to Boston. The Revolutionary War had begun.Shots Heard Round the World is a bold, comprehensive rendering of the world war that erupted out of America’s battle for independence. Ferling highlights underestimated pivotal moments to reveal why the British should have put down the rebellion within a couple years of fighting. As European rivals France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic entered the fray, Britain’s problems grew, but after seven long years, the war’s outcome remained very much in doubt. Ferling assesses military and civilian leaders, the choices they faced, and the political, tactical, and strategic decisions they made as the war raged in North America, the Caribbean, Central America, Europe, Asia, and on the high seas, affecting peoples and countries miles from American soil.Long after the soldiers laid down their arms, future generations have reckoned with the Revolution ...
