eBook: In 1901, the author – the real Elizabeth – went on a trip to the Baltic island of Rügen with her maid, a chauffeur, a friend, and a carriage piled high with their luggage. From this, she weaves a captivating tale of her encounters in this semi-autobiographical novel. A snobbish bishop’s wife and her handsome son, a dressmaker, and a long-lost cousin Charlotte form the basis of this story, as Charlotte tries to evade the pursuit of her husband. Elizabeth von Arnim\'s humorous novel ‘The Adventures of Elizabeth in Rügen’ will be enjoyed by fans of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far From the Madding Crowd’. Elizabeth von Arnim was an English novelist – a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield – born as Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia in 1866. She married a German aristocrat and her earliest written works are set in Germany. Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work ‘Elizabeth and Her German Garden’, published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as ‘Elizabeth’ meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.

eBook:,V důsledku šíření vysoce nakažlivého viru je na Kalifornii uvalena karanténa. Živí jsou izolováni ve výškových mrakodrapech a nesmí ven, zato mrtví mohou dovnitř – a objevují se v různých formách, od ubohých plechovek na kolečkách až po špičkově navržená těla nerozeznatelná od lidských. Bohatí účastníci v programu „společníků“ si do nich před smrtí mohou nechat nahrát vědomí, aby pak mohli zůstat u svých rodin. Ti méně šťastní jsou pak po smrti pronajímáni cizím lidem. Všichni společníci jsou však duševním vlastnictvím společnosti Metis, jíž se podařilo stvořit zcela novou společenskou třídu — třídu jednotlivců řízených povelem bez jakýchkoli práv či svobodné vůle. Šestnáctiletá Lilac je jednou z těch méně šťastných. Skončí v pronájmu cizí rodiny. Když ale zjistí, že je schopna vzdorovat povelům, zahodí okovy otroctví a uteče.

Zkoumá složité podoby, jež na sebe berou láska, pomsta a samota, když mrtví zůstanou mezi námi. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: 7 tajomstiev Eucharistie sa opiera o Sväté písmo, spisy svätých a učenie pápežov. Oboznámi nás so skrytými pravdami o Eucharistii – pravdami, ktoré prijímali teológovia, svätci a mystici, ale zriedka ich pochopil bežný človek. Autorovi Vinnymu Flynnovi sa podarilo urobiť to, čo sa nedarí mnohým teológom: písať o tých najhlbších tajomstvách viery jednoducho a zrozumiteľne pre všetkých. Hoci sme v učení Cirkvi dostali všetky potrebné informácie, nedokázali sme nájsť potrebné súvislosti. Neuvedomujeme si v plnej miere, koho vlastne prijímame v Eucharistii, prečo nám Boh dal túto jedinečnú sviatosť, alebo akú odpoveď od nás očakáva. Každý jeden katolík je pozvaný skúmať tajomstvo Eucharistie a rozumieť mu stále viac a viac. Táto kniha všetko zmení! Po jej prečítaní si úplne nanovo uvedomíme, že Eucharistia je nielen sväté prijímanie – je to reálna premena nášho každodenného života. Kniha je cirkevne schválená. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: Každý z nás už aspoň raz kľačal pred Najsvätejšou oltárnou sviatosťou s modlitbou na perách a hlavou v oblakoch. Ak nie v oblakoch, tak v práci, pri deťoch, pri rôznych starostiach či nevypnutej žehličke. Niektorí sme si možno po tejto skúsenosti povedali, že adorácia za ten obetovaný čas ani nestojí. Veď modliť sa a rozmýšľať nad pálčivými otázkami vesmíru môžeme aj doma. A presne takéhoto prístupu k adorácii by sme sa mali zbaviť. Ako? Vinny Flynn nám jednoduchým a osobným štýlom predostiera dvadsaťjeden spôsobov, ako zlepšiť čas strávený pred Eucharistiou; ako byť bližšie Kristovi, prítomnému v Oltárnej sviatosti. Niektoré spôsoby sú obyčajné, niektoré výnimočné, iné nás donútia zamyslieť sa a vystúpiť zo svojej komfortnej zóny; takže v knihe 21 spôsobov adorácie si každý môže nájsť niečo pre seba. Netreba ich vyskúšať všetky. Ak nás privedie bližšie k Ježišovi jeden, stačí. Autor nás jedinečným a inšpiratívnym spôsobom privedie k eucharistickému Kristovi, aby sa náš čas v jeho prítomnosti stal plodnejším, osobnejším a priniesol nám radosť a uzdravenie. Kniha je cirkevne schválená. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: „Dôvera v Boha je podstata posolstva o milosrdenstve.“ Prostredníctvom knihy 7 tajomstiev Božieho milosrdenstva nám autor ukazuje, že uctievanie Božieho milosrdenstva nie je len ďalšou súkromnou pobožnosťou. Pochopiť ho a vstúpiť do jeho hĺbky je kľúčovým okamihom duchovného života každého človeka. Autor nám dáva pozvanie na cestu, aby milosrdenstvo mohlo premeniť aj náš život. Všetko sa môže stať zmysluplnejším, silnejším a vitálnejším, keď skutočne prijmeme dar Božieho milosrdenstva – pretekajúcu lásku Najsvätejšej Trojice. V roku 2000 pápež Ján Pavol II. kanonizoval veľkú vizionárku 20. storočia sestru Faustínu Kowalskú a ustanovil, že prvá nedeľa po Veľkej noci sa bude každoročne sláviť ako Nedeľa Božieho milosrdenstva. V roku 2006 pápež Benedikt XVI. zdôraznil, že „úcta k Božiemu milosrdenstvu nie je len sekundárnou pobožnosťou, ale neoddeliteľnou súčasťou kresťanskej viery a modlitby“. Pápež František vyhlásil mimoriadny Jubilejný rok Božieho milosrdenstva, ktorý sa začal sláviť 8. decembra 2015. Všetci traja pápeži jasne vyjadrili, že Božie milosrdenstvo patrí k podstate kresťanskej viery, a táto kniha odhaľuje prečo. Kniha je cirkevne schválená. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

eBook: „Strach je zbytočný. Potrebná je dôvera.“ Autor v tejto knihe predstavuje nový prístup k sviatosti zmierenia prostredníctvom 7 kľúčových tajomstiev spovede. Sú to pravdy o veľkej duchovnej kráse, moci a hĺbke tejto sviatosti. Chápanie spovede u mnohých katolíkov je tak úzko zamerané, že im bráni v objavovaní jej skutočnej krásy a hodnoty. Pre mnohých je spoveď len prostriedok, ako si dať veci do poriadku, ako byť očistený od hriechu a opäť plne začlenený do spoločenstva veriacich. No pápež František hovorí, že spoveď je oveľa viac, ako len „ísť do čistiarne“. Je to „stretnutie s Ježišom, ktorý na nás čaká“. Ak ste ešte nezažili vyznanie ako nádherné osobné stretnutie s Ježišom, ak nepoznáte ten pocit ísť na svätú spoveď s rovnakou radosťou a horlivosťou ako na sväté prijímanie, potom je táto kniha presne pre vás. Otvorí vám nové obzory a pozve vás k tomu, aby ste zažili podmanivú cestu osobného uzdravenia a svätosti. Zmení váš život. Kniha je cirkevne schválená. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.

eBook: In Elizabeth von Arnim’s humourous novel, \"The Pastor\'s Wife\", the main character Ingeborg Bullivant goes on a spontaneous trip to Lucerne and returns engaged to a Prussian pastor. However, her new life as a wife is restrictive, and when the dashing artist Ingram comes into her life and indulges her with musings about Italy, wanderlust temps Ingeborg for a second time. This warm and witty novel is based on von Arnim’s own first marriage and will be enjoyed by fans of ‘Eat, Pray, Love’. Elizabeth von Arnim was an English novelist – a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield – born as Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia in 1866. She married a German aristocrat and her earliest written works are set in Germany. Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work ‘Elizabeth and Her German Garden’, published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as ‘Elizabeth’ meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.

eBook: \"Last night after dinner, when we were in the garden, I said, \"I want to be alone for a whole summer, and get to the very dregs of life. I want to be as idle as I can, so that my soul may have time to grow.\" This witty tale of a rejuvenating summer is a semi-autobiographical tale told in the form of diary entries from a nameless narrator. In it, a woman spends her summer in her garden, away from the social world that she was trained to reside in with all its rules and conventions. Despite the name of the book, the nameless female narrator does not spend her entire summer alone but is instead joined by her daughters and husband – the latter of which she has nicknamed ‘The Man of Wrath’. A sequel to her famous début ‘Elizabeth and Her German Garden’, ‘The Solitary Summer’ will delight fans of ‘Downton Abbey’ and ´Bridgerton\', whose narratives feature the same social world our heroine is trying to escape.
