The Merchant of Venice
The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio, and while it shares certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps more remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for the character of Shylock.The title character is the merchant Antonio, not the Jewish moneylender Shylock, who is the play's most prominent and more famous villain. Though Shylock is a tormented character, he is also a tormentor, so whether he is to be viewed with disdain or sympathy is up to the audience (as influenced by the interpretation of the play's director and lead actors). As a result, The Merchant of Venice is often classified as one of Shakespeare's problem plays.

The Power of Place
The world is not as mobile or as interconnected as we like to think. As Harm de Blij argues in The Power of Place, in crucial ways-from the uneven distribution of natural resources to the unequal availability of opportunity-geography continues to hold billions of people in its grip. We are all born into natural and cultural environments that shape what we become, individually and collectively. From our "mother tongue" to our father's faith, from medical
risks to natural hazards, where we start our journey has much to do with our destiny. Hundreds of millions of farmers in the river basins of Asia and Africa, and tens of millions of shepherds in isolated mountain valleys from the Andes to Kashmir, all live their lives much as their distant ancestors did, remote
from the forces of globalization. Incorporating a series of persuasive maps, De Blij describes the tremendously varied environments across the planet and shows how migrations between them are comparatively rare. De Blij also looks at the ways we are redefining place so as to make its power even more potent than it has been, with troubling implications.
Things We Lost in the Fire
Sleep-deprived fathers conjuring phantoms; sharp-toothed children and stolen skulls; persecuted young women drawn to self-immolation. Organized crime sits side-by-side with the occult in Buenos Aires - a place where reality and the preternatural fuse into strange, new shapes. These stories follow the wayward and downtrodden, revealing the scars of Argentina's dictatorship and the ghosts and traumas that have settled in the minds of its people. Provocative, brutal and uncanny, Things We Lost in the Fire is a paragon of contemporary Gothic from a writer of singular vision.
The Young Fur Traders
Follows the adventures of a young man called Charles Kennedy. Loosely autobiographical account of Ballantyne's own time with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. Its success prompted a series of excellent stories of adventure for the young with which this prolific Scottish author's name is popularly associated. In the very center of the great continent of North America, far removed from the abodes of civilized men, and about twenty miles to the south of Lake Winnipeg, exists a colony composed of Indians, Scotsmen, and French-Canadians, which is known by the name of Red River Settlement. Although far removed from the civilized world, and containing within its precincts much that is savage and very little that is refined, Red River is quite a populous paradise, as compared with the desolate, solitary establishments of the Hudson's Bay Fur Company.

VYDAL SE NA NEBEZPEČNOU CESTU, ZE KTERÉ MOŽNÁ NENÍ NÁVRATU…
Když detektiv Jan Reyna v dětství opouštěl rodné Faerské ostrovy, myslel si, že už je nikdy znovu neuvidí. O několik desítek let později se však neochotně vrací zpět, aby se pokusil zachránit vztah s otcem, stiženým mozkovou mrtvicí, a také aby se vyrovnal s vlastní minulostí.
Faerské ostrovy jsou pro něj dávno cizí zemí, jejíž jazyk neovládá a zvyky nezná, přesto se ocitá ve víru vyšetřování vraždy. A nejen to. Zdá se, že případ souvisí právě s jeho otcem, což v Reynovi vyvolává mnoho let potlačované vzpomínky. Navíc musí čelit dvěma nevlastním bratrům, kteří se ze všech sil snaží ochránit pověst rodiny.
Reyna stojí před zásadním rozhodnutím – může buď vytrvat a riskovat, že o své minulosti zjistí něco, co se dozvědět nechtěl, nebo může z podivných, větrem bičovaných ostrovů nadobro odjet. Reynovo osudové rozhodnutí změní životy všech jeho blízkých, ale tajemství, které odhalí, už nelze znovu pohřbít…

The Birth of a New World 1918-1923
The global conflagration that erupted in 1914 exploded the old world and opened the way to a new, unprecedentedly cruel era – the 20th century. Early attempts to interpret the Great War described it as a clash between good and evil. That narrative is still shared by many. Mária Schmidt’s wide-ranging analysis attempts to transcend these diametrically-opposed explanations of the war. With a mere 100 years of hindsight, we can say that this book marks a real beginning. It will serve as a reference for many future studies.

A place with beautiful beaches, tasty food, affordable housing and healthcare.
A place where the locals are friendly and there's always something fun to do.
If you strive for living a laidback lifestyle, in place rich with folklore and culture where you can also learn some Spanish on the go, then Mexico is the right place for you.
My name is Raúl Jiménez (Yes, like the player from the Mexican national soccer team), writer of the Amazon best seller on Mexican slang "MEXISLANG", and also an online Spanish teacher who has taught over 200 students from all over the world, including Gabriel Wyner, the writer and founder of "Fluent Forever".
I've been teaching online for more than 3 years, and during this time, I've noticed how many people were learning Spanish to travel to Mexico and Latin America, and besides language questions, I always got a lot about what places were the best to visit, or what kind of documents people needed if they wanted to stay here; because of this, I started writing this book.
This book is made for people who:
Want to know the process and documentation necessary to become a temporary or permanent resident of Mexico.
Want to know your money's worth and the general cost of living in Mexico.
Want to know about safety from the drug war and the most expat friendly places in Mexico.

Harlow, Jack - Come Home The Kids Miss You CD
KDO: Hudebník z Louisville v Kentucky se rapu věnuje od roku 2011, ale skutečného věhlasu se dočkal až v roce 2020, kdy bouchnul jeho track Whats Poppin. Následovaly další velmi úspěšné singly a albový debut Thats What They All Say, který startoval na pátém místě amerického žebříčku. Výsledkem bylo několik hvězdných kolaborací, z nichž nejvýraznější je spolupráce s Lil Nas X na skladbě Industry Baby (číslo 1 v US hitparádě). Méně se ví, že Jack Harlow působí i v kolektivu Private Garden.
CO: Druhé album rapového génia z Kentucky. Jde o jednu z nejočekávanějších desek roku 2022 na hiphopové scéně. Jack Harlow si do studia pozval hned několik velkých jmen, někteří z hostů už nejsou příliš aktivní a jde tedy o hodně exkluzivní účast (Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, dále Drake a Lil Wayne). Hudebně je kolekce kombinací moderního trapového zvuku a old-school vlivů.

The Illustrated World of Tolkien. The Second Age
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 Numenor 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.

Pátrání po Silvestrovi
FAKTOGRAFICKÁ DETEKTIVKA O PÁTRÁNÍ PO BAŤOVCI SILVESTRU NĚMCOVI...
Autorův prastrýc Silvestr Němec se narodil v jihomoravských Vémyslicích a v devatenácti letech odjel jako zaměstnanec firmy Baťa do Singapuru. Zde, tak daleko od domova, ho zastihly válečné události a Silvestr zahynul za nejasných okolností jako dobrovolník při obraně Singapuru proti japonské invazi v únoru 1942.
Jan Beránek se chtěl dozvědět víc a tři roky zasvětil zkoumání Silvestrových osudů a okolností jeho smrti. Takřka detektivní pátrání ho přivedlo do archivů ve Zlíně, Znojmě a Praze, ale i v Londýně a Singapuru. S pomocí dalších historiků a pamětníků se mu podařilo shromáždit řadu unikátních fotografií a dosud nepublikovaných dokumentů, včetně deníků a vzpomínek několika singapurských baťovců.
Kniha popisuje autorovo pátrání od prvních okamžiků, čtenář se postupně seznámí se Silvestrovým rodinným zázemím, s prací u Bati i podmínkami, za jakých stovky mladých pracovníků vyrážely do exotické ciziny.
Největší pozornost je samozřejmě věnována Silvestrovu působení v Singapuru a dramatickým událostem, které vedly až k jeho předčasné smrti. O ní na základě dochovaných pramenů, hovorů s potomky pamětníků, spekulací i zkušeností z osobní návštěvy Singapuru Jan Beránek nakonec zjistil více, než zpočátku doufal…

When the Body Says No
Can a person literally die of loneliness? Is there a connection between the ability to express emotions and Alzheimer's disease? Is there such a thing as a `cancer personality'?
Drawing on deep scientific research and Dr Gabor Mate's acclaimed clinical work, When the Body Says No provides the answers to critical questions about the mind-body link - and the role that stress and our emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.
When the Body Says No:
