Darkness Falls
Kate Marshall's detective agency takes off when she and her partner Tristan are hired to investigate a cold case from over a decade ago. Twelve years previously, a determined young journalist called Joanna Duncan exposed a political scandal that had major repercussions. In the fallout she disappeared without trace and was never found.
When Kate and Tristan examine the case files, they find the trail long cold, but they discover the names of two young men who also vanished at that time. As she begins to connect their last days, Kate realizes that Joanna may have been onto something far more sinister than anyone first believed: the identity of a serial killer preying on the people who few will ever miss.
But the closer Kate comes to finding the killer, the darker things become . . .
Yorran: Born in the Dust of Path
EN:
He, who never finds the courage to leave the native home, never finds who he truly is. This applied in the past and will apply in the future, and thus it‘s no surprise that it applies to the world created by the author of the Yorran saga, too. Only the obstacles and trials which the heroes of this fantasy story need to face are different from ours.
There are people who set out on such journey voluntarily, and some will be forced to take it by the ruthless power of their destiny. And the story of our hero isn‘t any different. Abarhil is not a boy anymore. The question, however, is whether he really is the man who can face up to the trials which the fate lays before him.
The author of the saga has created a complex world which he populated with unknown nations and curious animals. He created a history of the world in which he planted the seeds of events which just now begin to sprout. The features of future events are not very clear, yet, but not even our hero is ready to face them. Thus, a long journey awaits him. Far away sail to the southern seas, return journey full of hardships through the wilderness, unexpected adventures, and above all, unusual encounters which indicate his disturbing future. Can he handle the traps of love to which his heart will be exposed? Will he stand the test of the war hardships which his destiny lays before him? Will he understand what his destiny asks of him?
Let‘s set out on this long and dangerous journey across the unknown world. Set your foot on a dusty path from which a new hero will be born.

Kdo nenajde odvahu opustit rodný dům, nikdy nezjistí, kdo doopravdy je. To platilo včera, bude to platit zítra, a tak není divu, že to platí i ve světě stvořeném autorem ságy Yorrân. Jen překážky a zkoušky, kterým musí čelit hrdinové fantasy, jsou jiné než ty naše.
Někdo se na takovou cestu vydá dobrovolně, jiného na ní postrčí nemilosrdná ruka osudu. A stejné je to i s hrdinou tohoto příběhu. Abarhil už není chlapcem. Otázka však zní, zda už je skutečně mužem, který se dokáže postavit čelem zkouškám, které mu osud přichystal?
Autor epické ságy vytvořil kompletní svět, který osídlil neznámými národy a zvláštními zvířaty. Stvořil dějiny světa, do kterých zasadil semena událostí, která právě nyní začínají klíčit. Obrysy budoucích událostí ještě nejsou příliš zřetelné, ale ani hrdina, tohoto příběhu, ještě není připraven jim čelit. Proto jej čeká dlouhá pouť. Daleká plavba do jižních moří, strastiplný návrat divočinou, nečekaná dobrodružství, a hlavně neobvyklá setkání, která mu naznačí jeho znepokojivou budoucnost. Dokáže zvládnout úklady lásky, kterým bude vystaveno jeho srdce? Obstojí ve válečných útrapách, které mu přichystal osud? Pochopí, co po něm osud žádá?
Pojďte se vydat na dlouhou a nebezpečnou cestu neznámým světem. Vstupte na stezku z jejíhož prachu se zrodí nový hrdina.

New York, Washigton, Niagara Falls
V roku 2012 sme (moja maličkosť, Latso s rodinou) leteli na dovolenku do Škótska. V lietadle na trase Viedeň – Londýn som chytil inšpiráciu. Sedel som v trojke vedľa dvoch slečien z Viedne. Mladé, bezprostredné, neviazané kočky leteli na 5 dní do New Yorku. Len tak, akoby nič, ako keď som sa ja v ich veku, za totáča, vybral na čunder do Luhačovíc. „O. K.,“ povedal som si, „toto raz musím takisto absolvovať.“ Rodinná rada môj návrh odobrila a Lucka pridala Washington a Niagarské vodopády. Potom už nasledovalo len veľa gúglovania, plánovania, rezervovania a výsledkom bol skvelý zážitok a...... a toto. Veď posúďte sami. Ale jedno vám môžem prezradiť už teraz: Stálo to za to.
Príjemné čítanie Vám želá Latso.

The Dust of Death: The Story of the Great Plague of the Twentieth Century
A short story in the "Doom of London" series. It begins:"The front door bell tinkled impatiently; evidently somebody was in a hurry. Alan Hubert answered the call, a thing that even a distinguished physician might do, seeing that it was on the stroke of midnight. The tall, graceful figure of a woman in evening dress stumbled into the hall. The diamonds in her hair shimmered and trembled, her face was full of terror."You are Dr. Hubert," she gasped. "I am Mrs. Fillingham, the artist's wife, you know. Will you come with me at once... My husband... I had been dining out. In the studio... Oh, please come!"... "Hubert walked up the drive and past the trim lawns with Mrs. Fillingham hanging on his arm, and in at the front door. ...a human figure lying on his back before the fireplace. The clean-shaven, sensitive face of the artist had a ghastly, purple-black tinge, there was a large swelling in the throat. ... 'Diphtheria!' he exclaimed. 'Label's type unless I am greatly mistaken. Some authorities are disposed to scoff at Dr. Label's discovery. I was an assistant of his for four years and I know better. Fortunately I happen to know what the treatment—successful in two cases—was.'"That is only the beginning. The doctor consults Dr. Label, whose theory is that the disease originates in the soil where houses have been built over former garbage dumps or where raw refuse was used as construction fill in London. "For years I have been prophesying an outbreak of some new disease—or some awful form of an old one—and here it comes."The reader should keep in mind that this was written before the development of antimicrobial drugs, so a diptheria outbreak was very serious. However, even in 1903 there was a treatment for diphtheria, involving injection of anti-toxin produced from animals immunized against heat-inactivated diphtheria bacteria, but it was not used widely or adequately. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphtheria). Today, people are immunized against diphtheria during childhood.First published in Pearson's Magazine, March 1903 with illustrations by Warwick Goble. The illustrations can be seen at the Project Gutenberg Australia souce; they are omitted from this eBook.Reprinted in Science Fiction By The Rivals Of H.G. Wells, Castle Books, 1979.

Cities that Shaped the Ancient World
John Julius Norwich presents a sweeping tour of forty great cities that shaped the ancient world and its civilizations - and which in turn have shaped our own.
The cities of the ancient world built the foundations for modern urban life, their innovations in architecture and politics essential to cities as we know them today. But what was it like to live in Babylon, Carthage or Teotihuacan?
From the first cities in Mesopotamia to the spectacular urban monuments of the Maya in Central America, the cities explored here represent almost three millennia of human history. Not only do they illustrate the highest achievement of the cultures that built them, but they also help us understand the rise and fall of these ancient peoples. Eminent historians and archaeologists with first-hand knowledge of each site give voices to these silent ruins, bringing them to life as the teeming, state-of-the-art metropolises they once were.
100 Symbols That Changed the World
100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.
Universal symbols have been used as a form of communication from the Bronze Age, when the dynasties of ancient Egypt began the evolution of the thousand characters used in Egyptian hieroglyphics. In pre-Columbian America the Mayan civilization set out on a similar course, using pictures as a narrative text.
With the adoption of written languages, symbols have come to represent an illustrated shorthand. The dollar sign in America evolved from colonists' trade with the Spanish, and the widespread acceptance of Spanish currency in deals. Merchants' clerks would shorten the repeated entry of "pesos" in their accounts ledgers, which needed to be written with a 'p' and an 's'. A single letter 's' with the vertical stroke of the 'p' was much quicker. Historically correct dollar signs have a single stroke through the 'S'.
Symbols are also used to impart quick, recognizable safety advice. The radio activity symbol was designed in Berkley in 1946 to warn of the dangers of radioactive substances - and following the widespread use of gas masks in WWII, the trefoil symbol echoed the shape of the mask.
There are many symbols of affiliation, not only to religious groups, but support of political causes or even brand loyalty. Symbols are used for identification, military markings and recognition of compatibility. They allow users to convey a large amount of information in a short space, such as the iconography of maps or an electrical circuit diagram. Symbols are an essential part of the architecture of mathematics.
And in the case of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics - the first Games to be held in an Asian country - symbols allowed the organizers to create event signage that wouldn't be lost in translation. The set of Olympic sports pictograms for the Games was a novel solution, and one that was added to in Mexico and Munich.
Organized chronologically, 100 Symbols That Changed The World looks at the genesis and adoption of the world's most recognizable symbols.

Dust Child (Export Edition)
Four lives, entwined forever by decisions made in a time of conflict. But what happens decades later when they unexpectedly converge once more?
Trang and Quynh: sisters who leave their rural village for the bustling city of Saigon, desperate to find work to help their impoverished parents. When they take jobs as ‘ bar girls’, paid to flirt with American GIs, they must decide whether they are willing to turn their backs on the people they used to be.
Phong: one of the thousands of mixed-race children abandoned by their American fathers and Vietnamese mothers. Phong grows up surrounded by rejection, insulted as a ‘Black American imperialist’, and a ‘child of the enemy’. But he never gives up hope of finding his parents and proving he is more than a ‘bui doi’: more than the ‘dust of life’.
Dan: A former American helicopter pilot still plagued by regrets about his actions during the Viet Nam war. Now he has returned in the hope of confronting the demons that refuse to fall silent.
Set between the Viet Nam war and the present day, Dust Child is a sweeping epic of family secrets and hidden heartache, from an internationally celebrated author.
