Druhý díl strhující trilogie o bingtownských kupcích z pera Robin Hobb. Příběh Vestritova klanu, jejich živé lodě Vivacie a všech, kdo se jí chtějí zmocnit, získává nový, dravý spád, který žene naše hrdiny na výsluní slávy i do propastí hrůzy. Starobylé tradice původních bingtownských kupců se postupně bortí pod tlakem nového, nelidského řádu prohnilého vládce. Vestritovi úzkostlivě očekávají návrat své živé lodě, a nejvíc ze všech Althea, která se nedávno vrátila z plavby na palubě živé lodi Ophelie. Stále sní o tom, že vznese nárok na Vivacii, své ukradené dědictví, a bude se s ní plavit na širém moři jako její kapitánka. Jenže kapitán Kennit není ochoten vzdát se své vytoužené věci. Když pak Vestritovy zastihne zpráva o ukořistění Vivacie piráty, je to pro ně zdrcující rána. Jejich finance vysychají a teď vzala za své i poslední naděje. Bez podpory ostatních starých kupců Althee nezbývá nic jiného, než aby se se svým někdejším druhem z lodi a milencem Brashenem pokusila živou loď osvobodit. Je tu pouze jeden problém: jejich plán může mít pro svět daleko ničivější následky, než kdyby loď ponechali v rukou ctižádostivého piráta Kennita… (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Bingtown je známým střediskem exotického obchodu a domovem obchodnické šlechty známé svými živými loděmi – vzácnými plavidly zhotovenými z čarodějného dřeva, které magickou cestou dozrává k vnímajícímu vědomí. Osud jedné z nejbohatších bingtownských rodin leží na nově probuzené živé lodi Vivacii. Pro Altheu Vestritovou je loď jejím právoplatným dědictvím, které jí rodina nespravedlivě odepřela – a ona se rozhodne riskovat všechno, aby ho získala zpátky. Pro Altheina mladého synovce Wintrowa, kterého vytrhli ze studia na kněze a přinutili sloužit na palubě lodi, znamená Vivacia rozsudek na doživotí. Avšak osud Vestritovy rodiny – i její lodě – se nakonec může ocitnout v rukou úplně cizího člověka. Krutý pirát Kennit hledá způsob, jak se chopit moci nad všemi obyvateli Pirátských ostrovů… přičemž první krok jeho plánu vyžaduje, aby se zmocnil živé lodě a podrobil ji své vůli… (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Na příběh FitzChivalryho Farseera nyní navazuje cyklus Snědý muž, jenž zachycuje příběh muže,který je nakonec konfrontován se dvěma magiemi, jež rozdělují nejen jeho osobnost, ale i celou zemi. Piebaldovská hrozba se rýsuje stále zřetelněji.

Fitz zatím pokračuje ve výuce prosťáčka Thicka, jehož náklonnost si získává malými pozornostmi a dárky.

Za velmi dramatických okolností posléze vzniká Dutifulova koterie, jejímž členem je i sám princ.

FitzChivalry Farseer nadále sídlí na hradě Buckkeep, kde se pod jménem Tom Badgerlock věnuje svým každodenním povinnostem tělesného strážce lorda Goldena. Kromě toho plní tajné poslání Chadeova špeha v labyrintu hradních chodeb, aby získané informace použil k záchraně království, které se nebezpečně potácí na pokraji války. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Princ Dutiful byl zachráněn z rukou Piebaldů a u dvora zase zavládl obvyklý rytmus. Avšak pro FitzChivalryho je návrat do izolace nemožný. Ačkoli je do hloubi duše zasažen ztrátou svého vlčího druha Nighteyese, Fitz se musí usadit na Buckkeepu a vrátit se k povinnostem Chadeova učně. V přestrojení za Toma Badgerlocka, strážce lorda Goldena, FitzChivalry špehuje za hradními zdmi. A jelikož jeho starý učitel chřadne, Fitz je nucen převzít na svá bedra další břemena, zatímco se snaží vyvést království z osidel občanské války, k níž má každým dnem blíž. Princ Dutiful se zasnoubí s narčeskou Ellianií z Ostrovů, ale jeho život provází neustále napětí a narčeska samotná se zdá skrývat četná tajemství. Naštěstí má po svém boku Fitze, který se mu snaží být zároveň přítelem, učitelem a otcem, ale současně mu nesmí vyzradit svou pravou identitu. Vedle mnoha svých problémů je FitzChivalry, čelící ustavičným výhružkám Piebaldů a přibývajícím perzekucím proti lidem nadaným Moudrstí, nucen zajistit, že nikdo nevyzradí princovo tajemství, které by mohlo vést k pádu farseerovského trůnu: že on, stejně jako Fitz, má v krvi obávanou „zvířecí magii".

Nájemný vrah, zvěd a mistr Umění FitzChivalry, nyní známý jen jako zbrojnoš Tom Badgerlock, se pevně usadil na Buckkeepu u královniny dvora. Jen hrstka lidí ví, jaká je jeho skutečná, bájemi opředená a složitá minulost – a jaké musel podstoupit oběti, aby přežil. A jen hrstka lidí ví, že ovládá magii Umění. V rámci koterie, tvořené princem Dutifulem, jeho starým učitelem Chadem a prostoduchým, leč v Umění silným Thickem, pracuje FitzChivalry na tom, aby podpořil prince na výpravě, která by mohla definitivně nastolit mír mezi Šesti vévodstvími a Ostrovy – a získat princi ruku narčesky Ellianie. Narčeska totiž pověřila prince nepochopitelným úkolem: setnout draka – legendárního Icefyrea – uvízlého v ledu na Aslevjal Islandu. Avšak ne všechny klany Ostrovanů podporují princovu snahu setnout hlavu jejich legendárnímu ochránci. Vězí za pánovitým požadavkem narčesky temné síly? Při vědomí, že šašek, alias lord Golden, předpověděl svoji smrt na Aslejval Islandu, se FitzChivalry spikne s Chadem, aby zabránil svému nejdražšímu příteli, který zradu netuší, odplout na výpravu spolu s nimi. Jenže osud nelze tak snadno odvrátit. Překlad: Jan Kozák (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Beloved ABC broadcaster and bestselling author of Ghost Empire and Saga Land, Richard Fidler is back with a personally curated history of the magical city that is Prague.In 1989, Richard Fidler was living in London as part of the provocative Australian comedy trio The Doug Anthony All Stars when revolution broke out across Europe. Excited by this galvanising historic, human, moment, he travelled to Prague, where a decrepit police state was being overthrown by crowds of ecstatic citizens. His experience of the Velvet Revolution never let go of him.Thirty years later Fidler returns to Prague to uncover the glorious and grotesque history of Europe's most instagrammed and uncanny city: a jumble of gothic towers, baroque palaces and zig-zag lanes that has survived plagues, pogroms, Nazi terror and Soviet tanks. Founded in the ninth Century, Prague gave the world the golem, the robot, and the world's biggest statue of Stalin, a behemoth that killed almost everyone who touched it.Fidler tells the story of the reclusive emperor who brought the world's most brilliant minds to Prague Castle to uncover the occult secrets of the universe.

When powerful real-estate tycoon Nero Golden immigrates to the States under mysterious circumstances, he and his three adult children assume new identities, taking 'Roman' names, and move into a grand mansion in downtown Manhattan. Arriving shortly after the inauguration of Barack Obama, he and his sons, each extraordinary in his own right, quickly establish themselves at the apex of New York society. The story of the Golden family is told from the point of view of their Manhattanite neighbour and confidant, René, an aspiring filmmaker who finds in the Goldens the perfect subject. René chronicles the undoing of the house of Golden: the high life of money, of art and fashion, a sibling quarrel, an unexpected metamorphosis, the arrival of a beautiful woman, betrayal and murder, and far away, in their abandoned homeland, some decent intelligence work. Invoking literature, pop culture, and the cinema, Rushdie spins the story of the American zeitgeist over the last eight years, hitting every beat: the rise of the birther movement, the Tea Party, Gamergate and identity politics; the backlash against political correctness; the ascendency of the superhero movie, and, of course, the insurgence of a ruthlessly ambitious, narcissistic, media-savvy villain wearing make-up and with coloured hair. In a new world order of alternative truths, Salman Rushdie has written the ultimate novel about identity, truth, terror and lies. A brilliant, heartbreaking realist novel that is not only uncannily prescient but shows one of the world's greatest storytellers working at the height of his powers. ir Salman Rushdie has received many awards for his writing, including the European Union's Aristeion Prize for Literature. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. In 1993 Midnight's Children was judged to be the ‘Booker of Bookers', the best novel to have won the Booker Prize in its first 25 years. In June 2007 he received a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Translated by George Chapman, with Introductions by Jan Parker. Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer's heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia.Chapman's Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and readable translations of Homer. Chapman's freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought.

Unikátní pohled do zákulisí. Kniha The Beatles: Get Back vás přenese do posledního roku této celosvětově známé kapely. Fanoušci a všichni milovníci The Beatles se konečně dočkali. Přes deset let očekávaná kniha o legendární kapele je zcela jiná než jakákoli před ní. V The Beatles: Get Back je zaznamenáno vytvoření posledního alba Let It Be přímo vlastními slovy členů The Beatles, která jsou doplněna dříve nepublikovanými fotografiemi ze zkoušek pořízenými Ethanem A. Russellem a Lindou McCartneyovou. Padesát let po nahrávání alba Let It Be a natočení filmu, který je dokumentuje, vychází tato kniha jako doprovod třídílného dokumentárního filmu Petera Jacksona The Beatles: Get Back . Kniha nás přenese do ledna 1969, je to začátek posledního roku The Beatles jako kapely. Album The BEATLES (The White Album – Bílé album) je na prvních místech hitparád a známá čtyřka se schází v Londýně kvůli novému projektu. Po 21 dní v různých nahrávacích studiích s kamerami a rekordéry dokumentujícími každodenní zkoušení kapela nacvičuje a vylepšuje mnoho svých nových i starých skladeb. Vše vrcholí známým koncertem na střeše přinášejícím do centra Londýna krátký oddech od všeho shonu a nebývalý rozruch. The Beatles: Get Back vypráví příběh zkoušek kapely prostřednictvím přepisů konverzace jejích členů a všech přítomných. Díky jemným zásahům editora Johna Harrise máme jedinečnou možnost vše pozorovat z pohledu mouchy na stěně, být přímo u toho a hrát a zpívat a vymýšlet lepší verše současně s kapelou, která je fenoménem po několik desítek let. Tento naprosto unikátní pocit je ještě znásobený původními fotografiemi pořízenými přímo na místě či snímky ze zmíněného 55hodinového filmového záznamu. Vypráví se, že tyto zkoušky byly předzvěstí rozpadu kapely. Nicméně je nutné dodat, že to bylo zároveň nejplodnějším a vrcholným obdobím The Beatles, o kterém si nyní můžeme přečíst přímo od našich milovaných Brouků. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

A stunning Penguin clothbound edition of Homer's great epic, in E. V. Rieu's classic translation.The Iliad is the first and the greatest literary achievement of Greek civilization - an epic poem without rival in the literature of the world, and the cornerstone of Western culture. The story centres on the critical events in the last year of the Trojan War, which lead to Achilleus' killing of Hektor and determine the fate of Troy. But Homer's theme is not simply war or heroism. With compassion and humanity, he presents a universal and tragic view of the world, of human life lived under the shadow of suffering and death, set against a vast and largely unpitying divine background..Seven Greek cities claim the honour of being the birthplace of Homer (c. 8th-7th century BC), the poet to whom the composition of the Iliadand Odyssey are attributed. The Iliad is the oldest surviving work of Western literature, but the identity - or even the existence - of Homer himself is a complete mystery, with no reliable biographical information having survived.E. V. Rieu initiated Penguin Classics with Allen Lane and his famous translation of the Odyssey was the first book published in the series in 1947. The Iliad followed in 1950. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
