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)

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)

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)

In 1950s London, novelist Anna Wulf struggles with writer’s block.

But it is a fifth notebook – the golden notebook – that finally pulls these wayward strands of her life together. Widely regarded as Doris Lessing’s masterpiece and one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, ‘The Golden Notebook’ is wry and perceptive, bold and indispensable. (alza.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. He explores the Black Palace, the wartime headquarters of the Nazi SS, and he meets victims of the communist secret police. Reaching back into Prague's mythic past, he finds the city's founder, the pagan priestess Libussa who prophesised: I see a city whose glory will touch the stars.Following the story of Prague from its origins in medieval darkness to its uncertain present, Fidler does what he does so well - curates an absolutely engaging and compelling history of a place. You will learn things you never knew, with a tour guide who is erudite, inquisitive, and the best storyteller you could have as your companion. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

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)

The one thing you never talk about while you're in the Scholomance is what you'll do when you get out - not even the richest enclaver would tempt fate that way. But that impossible dream has somehow come true for El and her classmates.And what's more, she didn't even have to become the monstrous dark witch she's prophesised to become to make it happen. Instead of killing enclavers, she saved them, and now the world is safe for all wizards. Peace and harmony have enveloped all the enclaves of the world.Just kidding. Instead, someone else has picked up the project of destroying enclaves in El's stead, and everyone she saved is at risk again with a full-scale enclave war on the horizon. And so, the first thing El needs to do after miraculously escaping the Scholomance, is to turn straight around and find a way back in. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

On 16 August 1952, Ian Fleming wrote to his wife, Ann, 'My love, This is only a tiny letter to try out my new typewriter and to see if it will write golden words since it is made of gold'. He had bought the gold-plated typewriter as a present to himself for finishing his first novel, Casino Royale. It marked in glamorous style the arrival of James Bond, agent 007, and the start of a career that saw Fleming become one of the world's most celebrated thriller writers. And he did write golden words. Before his death in 1964 he produced fourteen bestselling Bond books, two works of non-fiction and the famous children's story Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang. Fleming's output was matched by an equally energetic flow of letters. He wrote constantly, to his wife, publisher, editors, fans, friends and critics, charting 007's progress with correspondence that ranged from badgering Jonathan Cape about his quota of free copies -- a coin was tossed; Fleming lost - to apologising for having mistaken a certain brand of perfume and for equipping Bond with the wrong kind of gun. His letters also reflect his friendships with contemporaries such as Raymond Chandler, Noel Coward and Somerset Maugham. Before the world-famous films came the world-famous novels. This books tells the story of the man who wrote them and how he created spy fiction's most compelling hero. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’ After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’ Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’´ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.
