Izzy by si tolik přála vést poněkud zajímavější život, než jí nabízí středomoravská vesnice. A teď, za války, je to ještě mnohem horší. Samá dřina, žádná radost. Pak se ale najednou všechno změní: na jejich rodinný statek přijde vypomáhat skupina britských válečných zajatců. A jedním z nich je Bill. Po jejich setkání události naberou rychlý spád. Izzy a Bill se tajně vezmou a vydají se na útěk. Izzy je přestrojená za muže a působí tak věrohodně, že když je nakonec dopadnou nacisté, skončí spolu s Billem ve vojenském zajateckém táboře. Kdyby Němci přišli na to, že je Izzy žena, okamžitě ji zastřelí. Novomanželé se proto spojí s několika spoluvězni, a společně pak střeží Izzyino tajemství. Ne každý zajatec má ale dobré úmysly. A tak se Bill a Izzy každé ráno probouzejí s nejistotou, jestli se společně dočkají večera. Nebo konce války. Nebo šťastné budoucnosti. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

The powerful, heart-breaking memoir of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of AuschwitzBorn in Prague to a Jewish family in 1929, Dita Kraus has lived through the most turbulent decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Here, Dita writes with startling clarity on the horrors and joys of a life delayed by the Holocaust. From her earliest memories and childhood friendships in Prague before the war, to the Nazi-occupation that saw her and her family sent to the Jewish ghetto at Terezin, to the unimaginable fear and bravery of her imprisonment in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, and life after liberation.Dita writes unflinchingly about the harsh conditions of the camps and her role as librarian of the precious books that her fellow prisoners managed to smuggle past the guards. But she also looks beyond the Holocaust - to the life she rebuilt after the war: her marriage to fellow survivor Otto B Kraus, a new life in Israel and the happiness and heartbreaks of motherhood.Part of Dita's story was told in fictional form in the Sunday Times bestseller The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe. Her memoir tells the full story in her own words. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

In the third and final novel in the multi-award-nominated Philip Mangan thriller series, perfect for fans of John le Carre's The Night Manager, journalist turned MI6 agent Philip Mangan finds that in protecting a talented young woman, he becomes a target of more than one secret service 'Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal' Charles Cumming The stunning third novel from multi-award-nominated author Adam Brookes is paranoid, tense and spy fiction at its very finest. Meet Pearl Tao: an American girl with a lethal secret. Pearl longed for the life of a normal American teenager: summers at the pool, friends, backyard barbecues in the Washington DC suburbs. But she was different. Pearl had a gift for mathematics, a college sponsorship from a secretive technology corporation, and a family riven with anger and dysfunction. And it's only now, at nineteen years old, that she has started to understand what role she is to play. What her parents intend for her. For Pearl Tao, any hope of escape lies with two British spies: Trish Patterson, sidelined in disgrace, and Philip Mangan, blown and discredited - and following his own trail of corruption. Finding out the truth about Pearl will be the most urgent, the most dangerous mission they'll ever undertake.

Perfect for fans of A Woman of No Importance and Code Girls. When Aline Griffith was born in a quiet suburban New York hamlet, no one had any idea that she would go on to live "a life of glamour and danger that Ingrid Bergman only played at in Notorious" (Time). As the US enters the Second World War, the young college graduate is desperate to aid in the war effort, but no one is interested in a bright-eyed young woman whose only career experience is modeling clothes. Aline's life changes when, at a dinner party, she meets a man named Frank Ryan and reveals how desperately she wants to do her part for her country. Within a few weeks, he helps her join the Office of Strategic Services-forerunner of the CIA. With a code name and expert training under her belt, she is sent to Spain to be a coder, but is soon given the additional assignment of infiltrating the upper echelons of society, mingling with high-ranking officials, diplomats, and titled Europeans, any of whom could be an enemy agent. Against this glamorous backdrop of galas and dinner parties, she recruits sub-agents and engages in deep-cover espionage to counter Nazi tactics in Madrid. Even after marrying the Count of Romanones, one of the wealthiest men in Spain, Aline secretly continues her covert activities, being given special assignments when abroad that would benefit from her impeccable pedigree and social connections. Filled with twists, romance, and plenty of white-knuckled adventures fit for a James Bond film, The Princess Spy brings to vivid life the dazzling adventures of a remarkable American woman who risked everything to serve her country.

Jen několik let trvala aktivní existence dnes už kultovní skupiny Free Faces (1997 -2001). Přestože během těchto let vydali jen dvě alba, jejich hudba je stále aktuální a patří k nejosobitějším slovenským hudebním počinům. Členové skupiny Oskar Rózsa, Maroš Hečko, Marcel Buntaj a Andrej Šeban patří dodnes k nejzajímavějším a nejinvenčnějším hudebníkům slovenské scény, a i když se každý z nich dnes věnuje svým sólovým projektům, to, co se jim podařilo vytvořit ve společném seskupení, hlavně jejich první album Almost True Story, si celkem určitě zasloužilo znovu vydat. Album vyšlo původně v roce 1998 u nezávislého vydavatelství Silberman jen jako CD. Skupina po jeho vydání absolvovala vyprodané turné a skladby z alba se dostaly i do vysílání rádií a TV. Za album získali cenu Hudební akademie v kategorii Objav roku, Nahrávka roku a Obal roku. Naplánované bylo i zahraniční turné, v jednání bylo i vydání alba v zahraničí. Doba a podmínky tomu však nebyly nakloněné, a i cesty jednotlivých hudebníků se nakonec na nějakou dobu rozešly. Některé z písní alba vznikly na anglické texty beatnického básníka Lawrence Ferlinghettiho, dva texty dodal Roman Gal a pod ostatní texty se podepsal Maroš Hečko. Hudebně bylo album tím, že vznikalo přímo ve studiu, trochu jiné než živá vystoupení skupiny. Ta byla charakterizovaná a vyhledávaná pro obrovskou živou energii, která šla z hudebníků, a hlavně pro skvělou improvizační schopnost všech členů skupiny. Studiová práce na albu v sobě nese víc promyšlených kompozic a hudební disciplíny, z celkem 12 skladeb jsou tři signované jako Free Faces, pod ostatní se autorsky podepsal tandem Hečko/Rózsa. Kromě členů skupiny na albu hrají Martin Burlas, Martin Ďurdina a Igor Sabo. Nahrávka vznikla pod hudební režií Oskara Rózsy a Free Faces, Oskar Rózsa je podepsaný i pod současným remasteringem alba.
