Co když nic není skutečné? Co když nikdo z nás neexistuje? A co když můžeme páchat zločiny a ubližovat lidem okolo sebe, aniž bychom se museli bát trestu?Po dvaceti letech ve službách skotské policie má detektiv šéfinspektor Jack Logan pocit, že už ho nic nemůže překvapit. To se však šeredně plete.Když je cestou z noční směny brutálně zavražděna mladá zdravotní sestra, vydá se Jack společně s osvědčeným týmem okamžitě po stopách vraha. On ani jeho kolegové ale netuší, že mají co do činění s vyšinutým pachatelem posedlým neobvyklými představami, jež mu dovolují bez výčitek mrzačit a vraždit další a další nevinné oběti.Pátrání po vrahovi, který o sobě tvrdí, že neexistuje, navíc ve městě, které nezná, dožene šéfinspektora Jacka Logana až na pokraj sil a k náhlému uvědomění, že i on se má stále co učit… (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Před deseti lety učinil detektiv šéfinspektor Jack Logan přítrž řádění sériového vraha malých dětí, přezdívaného Našeptávač. Ten byl usvědčen z vraždy dvou chlapců a podezřelý z usmrcení třetího, jehož tělo se nikdy nenašlo. Kromě chvály si tím Jack ovšem získal také problémy s pitím a rozpadlo se mu manželství. V současnosti přes den vede kriminální tým v Glasgow a v noci stále dokola prožívá hrůzy toho, co viděl. A co udělal. Když se jednoho dne na Skotské vysočině, stovky kilometrů od Glasgow, ztratí další dítě, je to právě Jack, kdo dostane za úkol najít pachatele a přivést pohřešovaného chlapce domů. Čím více podobností s původním případem ale vyplouvá na povrch, tím hlasitěji zaznívá otázka, zda tehdy před lety Jack skutečně dopadl toho pravého. A pokud ne, připíše si Našeptávač na své konto i čtvrtou oběť? (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city.They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources. Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R.Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

V prvním díle trilogie Pán prstenů jsme sledovali,jak se z hlubin zapomenuté minulosti vynořuje nebezpečí ohrožující všechny pokojně žijící obyvatele Středozemě, a vytvoření Společenstva, aliance složené ze zástupců lidí, elfů, trpaslíků a hobitů. Jejich spojenectví je symbolické: musí zapomenout na to, že jejich cesty se v minulosti mnohdy rozcházely, aby mohli čelit ohrožení nekonečně silnějšímu, než je jedinec či jednotlivý národ. Společenstvo je vysláno, aby zničilo Prsten temné moci, avšak jeho působením se nakonec samo rozpadá...Ve Dvou věžích vyprávění sleduje cesty jednotlivých členů Společenstva po jeho rozdělení. Procházíme s nimi neznámými kraji Středozemě, setkáváme se s jejími obyvateli, kteří dosud žili v skrytu a stranou velkých dění, objevujeme zasunutou minulost. Na scénu se vrací starý známý z Hobita, Glum, a stává se průvodcem hobitů nesoucích Prsten k Hoře osudu. Text se jakoby rozděluje mezi osamělé putování skupiny hobitů na jedné straně a velkolepé boje a přesuny celých armád na straně druhé. Malé i velké děje však směřují ke stejnému cíli: konečnému střetu sil dobra a zla. Téměř na prahu tohoto střetu děj Dvou věží končí, aby si čtenář mohl vydechnout, než se nechá pohltit strhujícím finále v Návratu krále, poslední části Tolkienova vyprávění...Obálku a barevné ilustrace vytvořil Alan Lee (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien’s manuscripts and presented for the first time as a continuous and standalone story, the epic tale of Beren and Lúthien will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Dwarves and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien’s Middle-earth. The tale of Beren and Lúthien was, or became, an essential element in the evolution of The Silmarillion, the myths and legends of the First Age of the World conceived by J.R.R. Tolkien. Returning from France and the battle of the Somme at the end of 1916, he wrote the tale in the following year. Essential to the story, and never changed, is the fate that shadowed the love of Beren and Lúthien: for Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, in deep opposition to Beren, imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. This is the kernel of the legend; and it leads to the supremely heroic attempt of Beren and Lúthien together to rob the greatest of all evil beings, Melkor, called Morgoth, the Black Enemy, of a Silmaril. In this book Christopher Tolkien has attempted to extract the story of Beren and Lúthien from the comprehensive work in which it was embedded; but that story was itself changing as it developed new associations within the larger history. To show something of the process whereby this legend of Middle-earth evolved over the years, he has told the story in his father's own words by giving, first, its original form, and then passages in prose and verse from later texts that illustrate the narrative as it changed. Presented together for the first time, they reveal aspects of the story, both in event and in narrative immediacy, that were afterwards lost. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.

A new one-volume hardback edition of the first five books in The History of Middle-earth.J.R.R. Tolkien is famous the world over for his unique literary creation, exemplified in The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion. What is less well known, however, is that he also produced a vast amount of further material that greatly expands upon the mythology and numerous stories of Middle-earth, and which gives added life to the thousand-year war between the Elves and the evil spirit Morgoth, and his terrifying lieutenant, Sauron.It was to this enormous task of literary construction that his Tolkien's youngest son and literary heir, Christopher, applied himself to produce the monumental and endlessly fascinating series of 12 books, The History of Middle-earth.This brand new hardback edition brings together the first five volumes of The History of Middle-earth - The Book of Lost Tales Parts 1 and 2, The Lays of Beleriand, The Shaping of Middle-earth and The Lost Road - into one volume.Epic in scope and extent, and featuring rare maps and illustrations drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien, this first standard hardback volume of a planned trilogy will present the reader with a unique opportunity to own the entire History of Middle-earth in three large but sensibly priced volumes.

Unavailable for more than 70 years, this early but important work is published for the first time with Tolkien's `Corrigan' poems and other supporting material, including a prefatory note by Christopher Tolkien. Set `In Britain's land beyond the seas' during the Age of Chivalry, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun tells of a childless Breton Lord and Lady (`Aotrou' and `Itroun') and the tragedy that befalls them when Aotrou seeks to remedy their situation with the aid of a magic potion obtained from a corrigan, or malevolent fairy. When the potion succeeds and Itroun bears twins, the corrigan returns seeking her fee, and Aotrou is forced to choose between betraying his marriage and losing his life. Coming from the darker side of J.R.R. Tolkien's imagination, The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, together with the two shorter `Corrigan' poems that lead up to it and are also included here, was the outcome of a comparatively short but intense period in Tolkien's life when he was deeply engaged with Celtic, and particularly Breton, myth and legend. Written in 1930, this early but seminal work is an important addition to the non-Middle-earth portion of his canon alongside Tolkien's other retellings of myth and legend, The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrun, The Fall of Arthur and The Story of Kullervo, a small but important corpus of his ventures into `real-world' mythologies, each of which would be a formative influence on his own legendarium.
