Záhadný středověk
Pozoruhodné dílo, které před čtenářem odkrývá méně známá fakta o středověké společnosti. Autor se zaměřuje především na život v evropských klášterech, který nahlíží z širšího společensko-historického kontextu. Zabývá se tak např. stavěním katedrál, epidemiemi a nemocemi nebo životem „za hradbami kláštera“, v hospodách, lázních, na tržištích nebo hradech. Čtenář z knihy získá přehled o vývoji mnišství coby středověkého fenoménu, od čistého, citlivého a duchovního aspektu života prvních poustevníků a mnichů až po hromadění majetku a moci představiteli církve v období vrcholného a pozdního středověku.

Warden
It was so hard that the pleasant waters of his little stream should be disturbed and muddied ...that his quiet paths should be made a battlefield: that the unobtrusive corner of the world which been allotted to him ...made miserable and unsound'. Trollope's witty, satirical story of a quiet cathedral town shaken by scandal - as the traditional values of Septimus Harding are attacked by zealous reformers and ruthless newspapers - is a drama of conscience that pits individual integrity against worldly ambition. In "The Warden" Anthony Trollope brought the fictional county of Barsetshire to life, peopled by a cast of brilliantly realised characters that have made him among the supreme chroniclers of the minutiae of Victorian England. The first book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
Devious
Lisa Jackson's thrilling new novel is set in New Orleans, where detectives Bentz and Montoya confront a killer who only kills nuns - and who may be someone they have every reason to trust. When a troubled novice is found garrotted in St Marguerite's cathedral, the first detectives called in are Bentz and Montoya. And Montoya knows who she is - Sister Camille was once his brother's girlfriend. He even knows the prime suspect: Father Frank O'Toole, rumoured to be the father of Camille's unborn child. The deeper the investigation goes, the eerier it gets. More nuns are dying, brutally slaughtered by someone who seems to know their darkest secrets. Bentz is sure Father O'Toole is their man. But arresting him is another matter. And there are other suspects, too, including a ruthless murderer who is supposed to have died years ago. Has the monstrous killer known as Father John returned? Or is the truth even more twisted and terrifying?
The Pillars of the Earth
"The Pillars of the Earth" tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known ...of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul ...of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame ...and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece. 'Enormous and brilliant ...this mammoth tale seems to touch all human emotion - love and hate, loyalty and treachery, hope and despair. This is truly a novel to get lost in' - "Cosmopolitan". 'A historical saga of such breadth and density ...Follett succeeds brilliantly in combining hugeness and detail to create a novel imbued with the rawness, violence and blind faith of the era' - "Sunday Express".

OWC Barchester Towers
Barchester Towers, Trollope's most popular novel, is the second of the six Chronicles of Barsetshire. The Chronicles follow the intrigues of ambition and love in the cathedral town of Barchester. Trollope was of course interested in the Church, that pillar of Victorian society - in its susceptibility to corruption, hypocrisy, and blinkered conservatism - but the Barsetshire novels are no more 'ecclesiastical' than his Palliser novels are 'political'. It is the behaviour of the individuals within a power structure that interests him. In this novel Trollope continues the story of Mr Harding and his daughter Eleanor, adding to his cast of characters that oily symbol of progress Mr Slope, the hen-pecked Dr Proudie, and the amiable and breezy Stanhope family. The central questions of this moral comedy - Who will be warden? Who will be dean? Who will marry Eleanor? - are skilfully handled with that subtlety of ironic observation that has won Trollope such a wide and appreciative readership.

Jak je poznáme? Umění gotiky
Publikácia z edície Jak je poznáme? Najbytostnejším rysom gotického umenia je monumentálnosť, prísne, takmer asketické línie a hlboko zakorenené náboženské aspekty. Gotika bola po Európe šírená prostredníctvom mníšskych rádov. Hlavným prejavom umenia je architektúra. Svoje uplatnenie našla predovšetkým v stavbe katedrál a hradov, radníc, mostov, meštianskych domov, ale aj v ľudových domoch. Najtypickejším znakom pre gotiku je lomený oblúk vysokých okien, ktoré často siahajú až do desaťmetrovej výšky a sú po celom obvode chrámov. Český Krumlov vstupuje do vývoja stredoeurópskej gotickej plastiky v období tzv. krásneho slohu, ktorý reprezentuje slávna Krumlovská madona z roku 1393.

Evropa vrcholného středověku 1150 - 1300
Vrcholný středověk, období od poloviny 12. do konce 13. století, znamená v dějinách Evropy éru vzestupu a rozkvětu, který v mnoha ohledech „nastartoval“ úspěch evropské civilizace a její cestu ke globální dominanci. Původem britský historik John H. Mundy, který řadu desetiletí působil na americké Columbia University, představuje na základě bohatství dobových pramenných dokladů období upevňování moci evropských monarchií, křížových válek, ekonomického vzestupu a rozvoje měst, zakládání univerzit i budování katedrál. Postupně se zaměřuje na vnější i vnitřní hranice evropského světa pozdního středověku, fungování ekonomiky, rozdělení společnosti a vztahy mezi jednotlivými jejími složkami, mechanismy vlády, myšlení a mentalitu, náboženství a církev.

Carousel of Desire
Celebrated short-story writer, Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt's (The Most Beautiful Book in the World) first full-length novel to appear in English is a literary tour de force, a magnificent cathedral of contemporary eroticism. The Carousel of Desire is a sexual and romantic saga told with a master storyteller's feel for character and plot and a philosopher's abiding preoccupation with what makes life truly worthwhile. With tenderness and infectious delight, Schmitt tells an exuberant tale about class and community and about the vastness of human experience. Schmitt's love of coincidence and serendipity is surpassed only by his affection for his flawed, all-too-human characters: Zachary Bidermann, the powerful European Union commissioner; Faustina, the fashionable book publicist; François-Maxime de Couvigne, the happily married banker with more than a few secrets; Marcelle, enamored with a handsome illegal immigrant; Miss Beauvert, who makes love with her parrot, Copernicus. These and many more unforgettable characters animate this story of simmering desire and the antics of the mischievous and playful god, Eros. Schmitt's inclusive, affirming vision of human sexuality is refreshingly free of moral judgement, yet enriched by an understanding of the complex ethics of human relationships and the redemptive power of love.

The Tidal Zone
Adam is a stay-at-home dad who is also working on a history of the bombing and rebuilding of Coventry Cathedral. He is a good man and he is happy. But one day, he receives a call from his daughter's school to inform him that, for no apparent reason, fifteen-year-old Miriam has collapsed and stopped breathing. In that moment, he is plunged into a world of waiting, agonising, not knowing. The story of his life and the lives of his family are rewritten and re-told around this shocking central event, around a body that has inexplicably failed. In this exceptionally courageous and unflinching novel of contemporary life Sarah Moss goes where most of us wouldn't dare to look, and the result is riveting - unbearably sad, but also miraculously funny and ultimately hopeful. The Tidal Zone explores parental love, overwhelming fear, illness and recovery. It is about clever teenagers and the challenges of marriage. It is about the NHS, academia, sex and gender in the twenty-first century, the work-life juggle, and the politics of packing lunches and loading dishwashers. It confirms Sarah Moss as a unique voice in modern fiction and a writer of luminous intelligence.

Lacná kniha Oxford Illustrated History of Medieval Europe (-90%)
This richly illustrated book is the most authoritative account of life in medieval Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire and the coming of the Renaissance. Full coverage is given to all aspects of life in a thousand-year period which saw the creation of western civilization: from the empires and kingdoms of Charlemagne, the Byzantines, and the Hundred Years War, to the ideas of the Crusades; the building of great cathedrals and the social catastrophe of the Black Death; the cultural worlds of chivalric knights, popular festivals, and new art forms. The chapters show the movement of hte centre of gravity in European life from the Mediterranean to the north; and the authors explore the contrast between Byzantine and Renaissance cultures in the south and the new, complex political and social structures of north-west Europe, which by 1300 had the most advanced civilization the world had ever seen. Over 200 illustrations, including 24 colour plates, amplify the text; and the picture is completed with comprehensive reference material including maps, genealogies, and a full chronology.
