The much-anticipated new fantasy series from Ransom Riggs, his first since introducing the #1 global phenomenon Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children series. Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter.A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot. A half-mechanical raccoon with its tail on fire that just won’t leave him alone. Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are. Not a good sign.In the blurry weeks after his mother’s death, a young Leopold discovered VHS tapes of its one and only season in a box headed for the trash—and soon became obsessed. Losing himself in Sunder was the best way to avoid two things: grieving his mother and being a chronic disappointment to his overbearing father. But when the strange visions return—at the worst possible time on the worst possible day—Leopold turns to his best friend Emmet for help.Together they discover that Sunder is much more than just an old TV show, and that Los Angeles is far stranger than they ever imagined. And soon, he’ll realize that not only is Sunderworld real, but it’s in grave danger. Certain he’s finally been chosen for greatness, Leopold risks everything to claim his destiny, save the world of his childhood dreams, and prove once and for all that he’s not the disappointment his father believes him to be.But when everything goes terribly, horribly, excruciatingly wrong, Leopold’s disappointments prove to be more extraordinary than he ever could have imagined. How do you battle darkness when no one believes in you—not even yourself?Visionary storyteller Ransom Riggs weaves the familiar with the peculiar in a stunning loss, triumph, friendship and magic, reminding readers everywhere that true heroes are made, not born—and that when you’re never the chosen one, sometimes you have to choose yourself. Welcome to Sunderworld.

Ještě dříve, než slečna Peregrinová vytvořila smyčku - domov a útočiště - pro dnes již dobře známé podivné děti, existovaly pohádky o podivných dětech a zvířatech, které se nejprve tradovaly ústní cestou, dokud se jejich písemného zpracování neujal v roli editora jeden z nejpovolanějších, podivný Millard Nullings. Jedná se o příběhy z historie podivných, ve kterých se dozvíme, že děti nejprve bez problémů žili ve společnosti lidí běžných, obyčejných, ale jejich zvláštní schopnosti a nadání je postupně vytlačovaly na okraj, až je obyčejní lidé vyhnali ze svého středu úplně. Některé z deseti pohádek čtenáři zčásti znají ze zmínek v trilogii o podivných dětech ze sirotčince slečny Peregrinové - třeba tu o laskavém obru Cuthbertovi či o holubech z katedrály Svatého Pavla - jiné jsou zcela nové a uvádějí nové, neznámé hrdiny, a kromě jiného se dozvíte o první ymbryně i o tom, jak se postupně naučila vytvářet smyčky, v nichž bylo možno žít. Ransom Riggs se s vámi - díky pečlivé editorské práci M. N. - podělí o některá tajemství z dějin podivných. Ti, kdo četli napínavé příběhy o slečně Peregrinové a jejích chráněncích, si tuto laskavou knížku jistě nenechají ujít.

Některé z deseti povídek čtenáři zčásti znají ze zmínek v trilogii o podivných dětech ze sirotčince slečny Peregrinové – třeba tu o laskavém obru Cuthbertovi či o holubech z katedrály Svatého Pavla – jiné jsou zcela nové a uvádějí nové, neznámé hrdiny, a kromě jiného se dozvíte o první ymbryně i o tom, jak se postupně naučila vytvářet smyčky, v nichž bylo možno žít.

A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome.In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians.Charles Freeman''s accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual ''interludes'' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author''s The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.

An uplifting, humorous memoir of a mother building a new life on a beautiful Sicilian island. Reeling from a broken relationship, Ros Belford decides the best chance she has of healing, while giving her daughters a childhood to remember, is to move to Italy and live by the sea. After a false start in a town where machismo is ingrained, they find the small, lush, delightful island of Salina. Izzy and Juno grow up playing on the beach, learning to swim over volcanic bubbles, hearing tales of Aeolian witches and watching Stromboli erupt on the horizon. It is not entirely paradise, however. The school is atrocious, there are power cuts and an earthquake, and property speculators threaten the island''s fragile beauty. But an eclectic community of islanders take them to their hearts, friendships are forged and Salina becomes home. Full of humanity, vitality, honesty and optimism, Children of the Volcano is for anyone unwilling to give up dreams of adventure and excitement simply because of parenthood, lack of money and not getting things right the first time.

The fourth volume in The Library of Esoterica explores the historic roots of plants in myth and magickal practices. Through essays, interviews, and more than 400 images—from ancient Egyptian stonework to Victorian botanical art, to contemporary works celebrating nature — Plant Magickchronicles the symbiotic relationship between plants and people. The power of plants throughout history Celebrating the magick of the natural realm, Volume IV of The Library of Esoterica, delves into the symbolism, ceremony, and our ritual relationships with the botanical world. A visual journey through our interdependent evolution with nature, Plant Magick celebrates botanicals as creative muse – from ancient Greek sculptures to Renaissance paintings to visionary art inspired by psychoactive plants, cacti, and mushrooms. Our myths, beliefs, and shared stories are continually reflected in nature; purity represented by the white lily or spiritual awakening by the bloom of the lotus. Our joys and laments are mirrored in the cycle of the seasons, in the seed birthing sprout, or in the dead leaf falling softly from winter branches. Plants, trees, and flowers as signifiers of transition are also deeply embedded within rites of passage rituals across global cultures. Rose petals strewn along the wedding aisle mark the evolution into womanhood and marriage. A wreath of lilies stands sentinel over an open grave. A lover’s bouquet awaits on the doorstep. The wooden May Day pole is circled by girls wearing crowns of woven daisies, celebrating the coming of spring. Birth, unions, and burials – cycles of joyful celebration and deep grieving, all are marked symbolically with herbs, flowers or branches of a tree – the integration of nature into ceremony our method of signifying catharsis. Since time immemorial, plants have also served as potent symbols within the religions of the world; Buddha attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, Eve plucking the Apple of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. From root to vibrant blossom, Plant Magick explores the fertile, interconnected history between plants and people, the multitude of ways in which we embrace plants in spiritual ceremony, as healing medicine, as creative muse and as gateways into deeper explorations of consciousness.

A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table, only to find that he’s too late. The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive. They aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Table, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance. But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, warlords lay siege to Camelot and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell, and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past. The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, full of duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It also sheds a fresh light on Arthur’s Britain, a diverse, complex nation struggling to come to terms with its bloody history. The Bright Sword is a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, who are looking for a way to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

Děti ze sirotčince slečny Peregrinové přicházejí potřetí! Podivuhodné dobrodružství podivných dětí pokračuje třetím dílem tam, kde druhý díl skončil: v londýnské podzemce, do které se infiltrovaly stvůry a ve které je netvor, k němuž Jacob našel klíč v podobě „netvorštiny“. Vlak, do něhož stvůry násilím nahnaly podivné děti i některé ymbryny, dávno zmizel v tunelu. Zůstala však pachová stopa a k Emmě a Jacobovi přibyl podivný pes Addison, který sice nosí brýle, ale čich mu slouží dobře. Tak začíná poslední (zatím? doopravdy?) velká mise našich podivných a podivuhodných přátel. Na nebezpečné výpravě za osvobozením svých druhů potkávají Jacob a Emma další podivné, laskavé i kruté, poznávají zradu, nebezpečí závislosti, závist i chorobnou touhu po moci.

A jsou zpět! Protože od rozdělané práce se neodchází. A od té podivné už vůbec ne. Když H, spolupracovník Jacobova dědečka Abea Portmana, umíral, pověřil Jacoba úkolem - dopravit nově kontaktovanou členku rodiny podivných Noor Pradeshovou do bezpečí, které jí poskytne tajná agentka V. Svěřil mu i to, že Noor se týká prastaré proroctví o sedmi emancipátorech, kteří zachrání svět podivných před hrozící apokalypsou. Pokud se podaří zachránit Noor Pradeshovou, zachrání tím i svět podivných. O jeho zkázu neusiluje nikdo jiný víc než stvůry. A ačkoliv při zkáze Knihovny duší velká většina z nich zemřela, ti nejhorší z nich přežili. Někteří jako vězňové, kterým se však na začátku nového pokračování příběhu podivných podaří ze žaláře uprchnout. Na útěku osvobodí i netvora, který poháněl Panloopticon… Celou situaci ještě komplikují znesvářené americké klany podivných, mezi nimiž hrozí válka, jíž se všemožně snaží zamezit ymbryny. V amerických smyčkách se skrývá nebezpečí a nejistota na každém kroku. Kam dřív skočit? A aby toho nebylo málo, V je nejtajemnější a nejmocnější z Abeových bývalých společníků, která se skrývá a dělá vše pro to, aby nebyla nalezena. Jacoba čeká tvrdý oříšek. Čas nemilosrdně běží a Jacob i jeho přátelé se snaží rozluštit proroctví a přijít celé věci na kloub. Na záda Jacobovi dýchají nepřátelé a před ním je jedno velké Neznámo… Uspěje i tentokrát?
