Rather than be 'sivilized' by the Widow Douglas, Huckleberry Finn - the grubby but good-natured son of a local drunk - sets off with Jim, an escaped slave, to find freedom on the Mississippi river. With the law on their tail, they navigate a world of robbers, slave hunters and con men, and Huck must choose between what society says is 'right' and his own burgeoning understanding of Jim's friendship and humanity. Nostalgic and melancholy in equal measure, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is a razor-sharp satire of the antebellum South that, despite beginning life as a sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, is now seen in its own right as one of the most important of all American novels. This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn features an afterword by playwright and screenwriter Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure. Author Information Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born in Missouri in 1835. Early in his childhood, the family moved to Hannibal, Missouri - a town which would provide the inspiration for St Petersburg in Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. When he started writing in earnest in his thirties, he adopted the pseudonym Mark Twain (the cry of a Mississippi boatman taking depth measurements, meaning 'two fathoms'), and a string of highly successful publications followed. His later life, however, was marked by personal tragedy and sadness, as well as financial difficulty. In 1894, several businesses in which he had invested failed, and he was declared bankrupt. Over the next fifteen years he saw the deaths of two of his beloved daughters, and his wife. Increasingly bitter and depressed, Twain died in 1910, aged seventy-four. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Jednou večer, bylo to ve vzdálených 80. letech 19. století, se zrodil pohádkový příběh, který na své objevení čekal více než celé století. Tehdy, v jednom pařížském hotelu, si Mark Twain povídal se svými dcerami, když ho vyzvaly k vyprávění pohádky. A tak dnes již světoznámý autor sáhl po jednom z obrázkových magazínů, které měl po ruce, a nechal se inspirovat k příběhu o chudém a odvážném chlapci Johnnym, který rozumí řeči zvířat a nebojí se postavit samotnému králi. Příběh však zůstal nedopsán a ukrytý v archivu přečkal desítky let – až donedávna, kdy rukopis objevil Philip Stead a tvůrčím způsobem a s respektem k jeho autorovi příběh dovyprávěl do pohádkového konce. Knihu doprovázejí nádherné ilustrace oceňované výtvarnice Erin Steadové a knižní vydání znovuobjeveného rukopisu je v Twainově vlasti považováno za literární událost roku. Kniha je určena dětem od 5 let. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Wilhelm von Habsburg wore the uniform of an Austrian officer, the court regalia of a Habsburg archduke, the simple suit of a Parisian exile, the decorations of the Order of the Golden Fleece and, every so often, a dress. He spoke the Italian of his archduke mother, the German of his archduke father, the English of his British royal friends, the Polish of the country his father wished to rule and the Ukrainian of the land Wilhelm wished to rule himself.Timothy Snyder's masterful biography is not only a reconstruction of the life of this extraordinary man - a man who remained loyal to his Ukrainian dreams even after the country's dissolution in 1921- but also charts the final collapse of the ancien regime in Europe and the rise of a new world order.

The explosive story of the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and the new spy war between the West and Russia, based on hours of exclusive interviews Skripal gave before his near-death with number one bestselling author Mark Urban, diplomatic and defence editor for BBC Newsnight. 'With regard to traitors, they will kick the bucket on their own, I assure you . . . Whatever thirty pieces of silver those people may have gotten, they will stick in their throat.'Vladimir Putin, 2010 4 March 2018, Salisbury, England. Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were enjoying a rare and peaceful Sunday spent together, completely unaware that they had been poisoned with the deadly nerve agent Novichok. Hours later both were found slumped on a park bench close to death. Following their attempted murders on British soil, Russia was publicly accused by the West of carrying out the attack, marking a new low for international relations between the two since the end of the Cold War. The Skripal Files is the definitive account of how Skripal's story fits into the wider context of the new spy war between Russia and the West. The book explores the time Skripal spent as a spy in the Russian military intelligence, how he was turned to work as an agent by MI6, his imprisonment in Russia and his eventual release as part of a spy-swap that would bring him to Salisbury where, on that fateful day, he and his daughter found themselves fighting for their lives.

Americký spisovateľ a novinár Mark Twain (1835 – 1910), vlastným menom Samuel Clemens, je známy svojím neuveriteľným vtipom, šarmom, ale aj sarkazmom a kritickými názormi na ľudskú civilizáciu. Preslávil sa najmä dielami Dobrodružstvá Toma Sawyera a Dobrodružstvá Huckleberryho Finna. Nemenej brilantná je však aj jeho posledná kniha Listy zo Zeme. Keď roku 1902 zomrela jeho milovaná manželka (dve z ich detí zomreli ešte predtým), Twain sa cítil nesmierne osamelý. Posledné roky života strávil na cestách a práve v tomto období napísal množstvo esejí, cestovateľských čŕt a dokonca fragment mysticko-dobrodružnej novely. V týchto svojich textoch sa naplno prejavil ako silný kritik spoločnosti, náboženských dogiem a Biblie. V Listoch zo Zeme nám, okrem iného, ponúka predstavu, že Satan navštívil Zem, aby skontroloval život pozemšťanov a píše svojim anjelským bratom do neba, s akým bláznovstvom sa tu stretáva. Kniha patrí ku klasickým hlasom „voľnomyšlienkarstva“. Spisovateľova dcéra Clara Clemensová preto dlho namietala proti jej publikovaniu. Svoj postoj zmenila, až keď sa verejná mienka začala voči podobným názorom stavať tolerantnejšie. Roku 1939 poverila literárneho vedca a veľkého znalca Twainovho diela Bernarda DeVota, aby pozostalosť doplnil poznámkami a pripravil na vydanie. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
