Píše se rok 1468. Mladý kněz Christopher Fairfax přijíždí do odlehlé vesnice ve Wessexu, aby vykonal pohřeb tamního faráře. Země v okolí je posetá starými artefakty – mincemi, úlomky skla, lidskými kostmi - které starý farář sbíral. Nevedla tato posedlost k jeho smrti? Fairfax se rozhoduje odhalit pravdu. V průběhu příštích šesti dnů bude vše, čemu věří, podrobeno zničující zkoušce.Poslední spánek je postapokalyptický román s nečekaným zvratem. Příběh se odehrává v budoucnosti, nikoli v minulosti. Dozvídáme se, že kolem roku 2025 se spletitě propojená globální společnost, o které dnes uvažujeme jako o čemsi naprosto samozřejmém, totálně zhroutila. Jak? Důvodů se nabízí víc. Mezi zbytky těch, kdo přežili, přinejmenším v Británii, se vynořil nový společenský řád pod vedením katolické církve. V novém kalendáři těchto lidí se rok 2025 stává rokem 666 (podle biblické „číslice šelmy“, jak je popsáno ve Zjevení Janově 13:15-18). Rok 1468 je tudíž od současnosti vzdálen do budoucnosti o více než 800 let.V Posledním spánku Harris zkoumá svět, který je neznámý a starý, a zároveň poukazuje na důsledky našeho flagrantního ignorování současných existenciálních nebezpečí. Staví nás do jádra záhady. Katastrofa, která postihla svět, je důsledkem naší chamtivosti a ctižádostivosti, naší arogance. Zodpovědní jsme za to my všichni…

'Everyone who cares about freedom and justice for women should read The Second Sex' GuardianSimone de Beauvoir famously wrote, 'One is not born, but rather becomes, woman'. In this groundbreaking work of feminism she examines the limits of female freedom and explodes our deeply ingrained beliefs about femininity. Liberation, she argues, entails challenging traditional perceptions of the social relationship between the sexes and, crucially, in achieving economic independence.Drawing on sociology, anthropology and biology, The Second Sex is as important and relevant today as when it was first published in 1949.

In 1976 Farrar Strauss in the USA and Gollancz in the UK, published the 5th novel by an American writer who had been gathering momentum on both sides of the Atlantic. It was both an intense love story and a Jules Verne-type science fiction adventure, centred on an attempt by a Swedish scientist, an American journalist and a French speaking adventurer to become the first people to set foot on the North Pole. To arrive there and return, borne on the wind by a huge red and white hydrogen balloon. The book was a critical sensation, and was runner up for the National Book Awards in 1977. What was not known at the time of first publication, nor indeed when Galileo reissued this extraordinary book in 2011, was that the author had actually based this fiction on a real event: the 1897 attempt by S. A Andree to fly to the North Pole. This is a new edition, the first in a uniform presentation of selected Harris works.

"Od posledního alba jsme bohatší o sedm let životních i hudebních zkušeností. Na nové desce tak zazní vše, co máme rádi," přibližuje kapelník Vojtěch Kalina. Novou desku kapela nahrávala v pražském Barrandov Sound a berlínských Red Bull Studios. "Irský zpěvák Travis O'Neill přinesl do kapely větší cit pro melodické linky a tím se i celkový zvuk posunul více do roviny celtic rockové kapely. Z menších klubů teď Pipes sebevědomě míří na velká pódia, otevírají se širšímu publiku, ale současně si zachovávají tvář," podotýká producent Yarda Helešic. Tracklist: 1.

This volume is an in-depth and exquisitely illustrated guide to the Second Age of Middle-earth, one of the least-explored periods of Arda's history.The Illustrated World of Tolkien: The Second Age, is the follow up companion to the best-selling The Illustrated World of Tolkien, and gathers together artwork, charts, and fascinating and scholarly writing from renowned Tolkien expert David Day. Exploring the languages, poetry and elements of the heroic ages of Norse, Greek and Roman mythologies that may have influenced Tolkien's writing, it is a reference guide for any fan of Tolkien's work, Tolkien's world and the imaginative brilliance his vision inspired.The Second Age is made up of two great narrative channels: on the one hand the rise and cataclysmic downfall of the island-kingdom of Númenor and its aftermath, and on the other the forging of the Rings of Power and the rise to power of the new dark lord.Tolkien's sources for his Second Age are, of course, as rich and varied as ever and this book delves into some of these influences and shows how the power of Tolkien's imagination is manifest even in the lesser-known parts of his legendarium.This work is unofficial and is not authorised by the Tolkien Estate or HarperCollins Publishers.

Kniha - autor Laurence Rees, 528 stran, anglicky, brožovaná bez přebalu matná Two tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history. Hitler's charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin's regimented rule by fear, and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin's change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler's case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.

Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short formWITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NATALIE HAYNESWhen this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir’s belief that ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, woman’ switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever.TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE BORDE AND SHEILA MALOVANY-CHEVALLIERANNOTATED AND INTRODUCED BY MARTINE REID
