These Hollow Vows
A heart is a dangerous thing to steal.
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTELLER Cruel Prince meets A Court of Thorns and Roses in this sexy, action-packed fantasy about a girl who is caught between two treacherous faerie courts and their dangerously seductive princes.
Brie would do anything before making a deal with the Fae; death is better than their vicious schemes. But when her sister is taken by the sadistic king of the Unseelie court, there is nothing Brie wouldn't do to get her back-including making a deal with the king himself to steal three magical relics from the rival Seelie court.
Gaining unfettered access to the Seelie court is easier said than done. Brie's only choice is to pose as a potential bride for the Seelie Prince, Ronan-a prince who's not quite as wicked as she once thought. Unwilling to let her heart distract her, she accepts help from a band of Unseelie misfits with their own secret agenda. But as Brie spends time with their mysterious leader, Finn, she finds herself struggling to resist his seductive charm.
Caught between two dangerous courts, Brie must decide who to trust with her loyalty . . . and with her heart.

Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku
"Nikdy som nebol chorý na pľúca, no nečakane, asi tak v auguste, som na Občianskej plavárni vypľul čosi červené. Chvíľu som sa na to pozeral, no vzápätí som na to zabudol", píše Franz Kafka v liste Milene Jesenskej.
Kto bol Franz Kafka, spisovateľ, ktorý ovplyvnil literatúru 20. storočia? Prečo boli Tatranské Matliare pre neho také dôležité? Prečo musel zomrieť taký mladý? To všetko sa dozviete v knihe autorov, doplnenej medzníkmi života Franza Kafku a mnohými neznámymi fotografiami, ktoré nemajú iba literárne historický pohľad.
Táto kniha je rozšíreným vydaním knihy Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Tuberkulóza pľúc Franza Kafku; Vplyv choroby na jeho literárnu tvorbu z roku 2017. Jej prvým autorom bol profesor vnútorného lekárstva, ktorý sa pokúsil spojiť medicínu so svetovou literatúrou, ktorej sa intenzívne venoval od študentských čias po celý svoj život. Mal veľký záujem o literárne diela Franza Kafku, o vtedajšie možnosti liečby tuberkulózy pľúc v jednotlivých sanatóriách, cez ktoré nás táto kniha sprevádza. So spoluautorkou osobne navštívil mnohé miesta, kde Franz Kafka býval, o čom svedčí autentická fotodokumentácia. Z literárneho hľadiska sa zameral na vplyv choroby na Kafkovu literárnu tvorbu, ktorý sa postupujúcou chorobou prehlboval.
"I've never had any lungs disease, but unexpectedly, on an August day, I spit out something red at the "Civic Swimming Pool". I was looking at it for a while, but then I forgot about it ", wrote Franz Kafka in a letter to Milena Jesenská.
Who was Franz Kafka, the writer who influenced 20th century literature? Why was Tatranské Matliare so important to him? Why did he have to die so young? You will learn all of this in the authors' book supplemented by the milestones of Franz Kafka' s life and many hitherto unknown photographs, that are not just of literary-historical significance.
This book is an extended edition of the book Miroslav Mydlík - Katarína Derzsiová: Lung Tuberculosis of Franz Kafka; The Impact of the Disease on His Literary Work published in 2017. Its first author was a professor of internal medicine who tried to connect medicine with world literature, which he was intensively interested in from student times throughout his life. He was profoundly interested in the literary works by Franz Kafka, in the contemporaneous possibilities of treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in individual sanatoriums, through which this book accompanies us. Together with the co-author, he personally visited many places where Franz Kafka used to live, as evidenced by authentic photo documentation. From the literary point of view, he focused on the influence of the disease on Kafka's literary work that was deepening with the disease progressing.

Ve službách SS proti Hitlerovi
Kniha vypráví o tom, jak Adolf Hitler spolu se svou pravou rukou Heinrichem Himmlerem v roce 1939 nechali tříletým speciálním výcvikem proškolit dvacet říšských inspektorů, aby dohlédli svými téměř neomezenými pravomocemi již na tak pečlivou nacistickou exekutivu. Hlavní postavou je ambiciózní nacista SS oberstrurmführer Hans Decker, který se ocitá v roce 1942 při své zvláštní misi v nacistickém Německu. Z gestapa se přesune do koncentračního tábora v Osvětimi, aby si ověřil získané důkazy o korupčním provozu jednotek nechvalně známé SS Totenkopfverbände. Zde ovšem dojde ke zlomu, protože vyslaný říšský inspektor nedokáže odolat kráse jedné ženy, jenž nebyla árijské krve, a patřila tak do jiného světa. Svou inspekcí odhalí řadu pro něj překvapujících prvků soukolí smrti, v němž osvětimský tábor exceloval. Chování říšského inspektora se tím v jednu chvíli vymkne zcela kontrole a Hans učiní nečekané kroky, kterými vyděsí celý Hitlerův úřad. Himmler je nucen zahájit hon na svého nejlepšího z nejlepších, aby zamezil případnou spolupráci s britskou tajnou službou. Čtenář se tak může ponořit do osobitého příběhu, který je veden reálnými ději. Kniha umožňuje nahlížet na významná místa, události a osudy lidí v koloběhu války, včetně skutečných Hitlerových plánů. Publikace poskytuje čtenáři přímý zdroj informací z míst nacistické mašinérie a přibližuje úřední soustavu Hitlerovy moci a zároveň poukazuje na složitý, až mechanický postup Němců.

Diary of an Apprentice Astronaut
In space the sun rises and sets 16 times a day. You fly over every sea, every mountain and desert, every city and every port. The most ordinary things -- eating, sleeping, brushing your teeth or cutting your hair -- have to be relearned, until they become familiar again. This is the story of Samantha Cristoforetti's incredible journey to becoming an astronaut, and her journey beyond Earth.
Her voyage as an apprentice astronaut began when she was in her early thirties: five years of intense training around the world, from Houston to Japan to the legendary Star City in Russia. Countless hours spent in centrifuges, spaceship simulators and under water for spacewalk practice. Then, one day, a rocket was waiting for her on the launch pad. And after eight minutes of wild ascent, she was on orbit, crunched up with her two crewmates in a tiny spaceship that took them to the International Space Station.
With honesty and warmth, Cristoforetti chronicles the two hundred days she spent on the ISS, the joys and challenges of being in an extraordinary place, from the sublime sight of seeing Earth for the first time to more unusual concerns, such as mastering the art of floating. How do you find your bearings when there is no up and down? What is it like to run in weightlessness? And how do you cook in space?
This is an enthralling, inspiring and surprisingly down-to-earth story about what it really takes to pursue your dreams.

How Did We Get Into This Mess?
Where have we gone wrong, and what can we do about it?
George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do.
While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.
