Audiokniha: Jak se stát největším vikingským hrdinou všech dob? Můžete se jím prostě narodit. Může vám to zákulisními intrikami zařídit vaše babička. 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...

October 1678. Sir Edmund Berry Godfrey, respected London wood monger and Court Justice, sets out from his house, early one foggy morning, in his second-best coat. Then he vanishes. Six days later, his body is discovered in a ditch near Primrose Hill. He has been severely beaten, strangled and stabbed through the chest - killed three times, in fact. There s no doubt somebody wanted him dead. The cash in his pockets however is still there. And, in spite of the wet weather and muddy roads, his clothes are dry and his shoes are spotlessly clean. People are quick to connect his killing with the role Godfrey has played in exposing a Catholic plot to kill the King. His name is, after all, an anagram of dy d by Rome s reveng d fury . Parliament, whipped into a frenzy by the conspirator Titus Oates, demands a suitable perpetrator is found. But it soon becomes clear that Godfrey had not merely offended the Catholics. And he had, some weeks before, predicted his own death with uncanny accuracy. Magistrate John Grey is summoned from his Essex village to investigate an increasingly inexplicable crime and to prevent some innocent men from being hanged as a regrettable political necessity. Praise for L.C.

Berkeley s idealism started a revolution in philosophy. As one of the great empiricist thinkers he not only influenced British philosophers from Hume to Russell and the logical positivists in the twentieth century, he also set the scene for the continental idealism of Hegel and even the philosophy of Marx.There has never been such a radical critique of common sense and perception as that given in Berkeley s Principles of Human Knowledge (1710). His views were met with disfavour, and his response to his critics was the Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous.This edition of Berkeley s two key works has an introduction which examines and in part defends his arguments for idealism, as well as offering a detailed analytical contents list, extensive philosophical notes and an index. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

A biography by Nicole Rudick told in Saint Phalle s own words, assembled from rare and unseen materialsKnown best for her exuberant, often large-scale sculptural works that celebrate the abundance and complexity of female desire, imagination and creativity, Niki de Saint Phalle viewed making art as a ritual, a performance⠔a process connecting life to art. This unconventional, illuminated biography, told in the first person in Saint Phalle s voice and her own hand, dilates large and small moments in Saint Phalle s life which she sometimes reveals with great candor, at other times carefully unwinding her secrets. Nicole Rudick, in a kind of collaboration with the artist, has assembled a gorgeous and detailed mosaic of Saint Phalle s visual and textual works from a trove of paintings, drawings, sketches and writings, many previously unpublished or long unavailable, that trace her mistakes and successes, her passions and her radical sense of joy. Saint Phalle s invocation⠔her bringing to life ⠔writes Rudick, is an apt summation of the overlap of Saint Phalle⠙s life and art: both a bringing into existence and a bringing to bear. These are visions from the frontiers of consciousness. Born in France, Niki de Saint Phalle (1930⠓2002) was raised in New York and began making art at age 23, pursuing a revelatory vision informed both by the monumental works of Antonin Gaudí and the Facteur Cheval, and by aspects of her own life. In addition to her Tirs (⠜shooting paintings⠝) and Nanas and her celebrated large-scale projects⠔including the Stravinsky Fountain at the Centre Pompidou, Golem in Jerusalem and the Tarot Garden in Tuscany⠔Saint Phalle produced writing and works on paper that delve into her own biography: childhood and her break with her family, marriage to Harry Mathews, motherhood, a long collaborative relationship with Jean Tinguely, numerous health crises and her late, productive years in Southern California. Saint Phalle has most recently been the subject of retrospectives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, in 2015, and at MoMA P.S.1, in 2021.Nicole Rudick is a critic and an editor. Her writing on art, literature and comics has been published in the New York Review of Books, the New York Times, the New Yorker, Artforum and elsewhere. She was managing editor of the Paris Review for nearly a decade. She is the editor, most recently, of a new edition of Gary Panter⠙s legendary comic Jimbo: Adventures in Paradise (New York Review Comics, 2021).

Or so the stories said. When two children called Freya and Sylas met the dragon, they found something very different indeed…
