The punishment is halted by the arrival of the hero, Lassiter, a gunman in black leather, who routs the persecutors and then gradually recounts his own history of an endless search for a woman abducted long ago by the Mormons.

Důvěřuj novému dni
Benediktýnský mnich Anselm Grün v této knížce nabízí podněty ke každodenním meditacím. Na své radosti i starosti můžete tak pohlédnout i z docela jiné perspektivy. Ať vám tedy texty poslouží jako průvodce ve všedních dnech a pomáhají čelit tlaku vnějších požadavků a nároků.
Snídaně se Senekou
V dnešní době zaznamenáváme obrovský zájem o stoicismus, ale přestože je Seneca označován za „nejpřesvědčivějšího a nejelegantnějšího ze stoických spisovatelů“, nikdo dosud nenapsal knihu, v níž by jeho učení přiblížil běžnému čtenáři. Doufám, že moje kniha tuto mezeru zaplní a osvětlí vám jeho filosofii. Možná že tato kniha ukojí zvědavost některých čtenářů, již se o Senekovu filosofii zajímají.
Mezi stoiky Seneca vyniká hlubokým psychologickým vhledem do lidské povahy, ctižádosti i obav. Jako první učenec západního světa důkladně zkoumal psychologii konzumerismu. Výrazně přispěl i k pochopení emocí a hněvu a jeho myšlenky si uchovaly platnost dodnes. Krátce řečeno, Seneca nebyl akademický teoretik, nýbrž člověk, který to ve skutečnosti „všechno zažil“ – ty nejlepší i ty nejhorší stránky lidské povahy.[i] To, o čem psal, znal z první ruky a měl jedinečnou schopnost porozumět vnitřní, psychické motivaci lidí. Právě to z něj činí po dvou tisících letech nedocenitelného průvodce i pro moderního čtenáře. Senekova doba je tedy i naší dobou. Seneca je naším současníkem a my s ním sdílíme jeho nejhlubší obavy.
Öt király kora - A turul nemzetsége
A Turul nemzetség történetének hatodik könyve ismét izgalmas korszakot ölel fel. Egyszerre szól Béla királyról, ki összeesküvés áldozatául esik, és András fia Salamonról, aki oly sok bajt hozott az országra. Akkor még akadtak pogányok, és többen voltak, mint kellett volna. Pusztulásukat felerészben önmaguknak köszönhették, hiszen a Hont vissza akarták vinni az időben, amikor a törzsi vezérek kezében volt a hatalom, és táltosok mondották meg, mi a jó és mi a rossz a nemzetnek.
Salamon, az örök békétlen többször ráhozta német barátait, szövetségeseit és egyben rokonait a magyar hazára. Megesett, hogy egyszerre névleg ketten, valójában azonban hárman uralkodtak ezen az országon. Saját és idegen érdekek csaptak össze. Hadak vonultak egymás ellen, és magyar ontott magyar vért hol igaz, hol hamis eszmékért. Legtöbbször a hatalmukhoz görcsösen ragaszkodó urak álltak a békétlenkedések mögött. Csakhogy a királyok sem voltak ártatlanok. Őket mutatja be a szerző a maguk pőre valóságukban.
Közben olykor kitekintünk idegen országokba is. Milyen hatása volt akkoriban a magyar viszonyokra Bizánc, Velence, a német birodalom és a pápaság hatalmi harcainak? Mi minden történt akkoriban külföldön, ami befolyásolhatta a Hon eseményeit? Ez az az idő, amikor László király akaratából nem a harcias Álmos, hanem bátyja, a "könyvesnek" nevezett-csúfolt király kerül az élre, és megindulnak a hadak Horvátország ellen. A cél: megszerezni az Adriai-tengert szegélyező Dalmáciát.
Az előző részekben megismert egyszerű emberek tovább élik olykor nyomorúságos, olykor mégis szerencsés életüket. A dunai átkelőhely révészei, kovácsmesterei, kereskedők, lovas gazdák és oda vetődő idegenek hétköznapjain keresztül láthatjuk, hogyan éltek akkoriban azok, akiknek nem volt bejárásuk a fényes palotákba, nem alakíthatták saját sorsukat, sőt nemegyszer szenvedték meg a nagyok viszályait. A két világ az egyik szereplő személyében már-már érintkezik, azonban a sors közbeszól.
Az egykorvolt középkori Magyarország története lüktet ezeken a lapokon.
The Lives of Brian
"It wasn't me. I didn't do it. And I'll never do it again!" says Brian Johnson of The Lives of Brian. That AC/DC's legendary frontman got to do it all is one of the most cheering and entertaining stories in rock'n'roll history.
The son of a British army sergeant major and Italian mother, Brian grew up in Dunston, Tyne and Wear, as it emerged from the shadow of the Second World War. Then he saw Little Richard on the BBC and it changed the course of his life.
The choir boy and sea scout was going to be a singer.
For over a decade he tried to make his mark with a succession of bands. He appeared frequently on TV and toured Europe and Australia with Geordie, yet real success slipped out of reach. Brian had a family to support and a mortgage to pay, so was forced to take a succession of jobs eventually leading to him running his own business. But if fate had a plan for Brian . . . fate didn't stand a chance.
Out of the blue, he was invited to London for an audition for one of the world's best up-and-coming acts. AC/DC were a band in crisis following the tragic death of their lead singer, Bon Scott, but with Brian on board they would record their masterpiece: Back in Black. It became the biggest-selling rock album of all time. The tour that followed played to packed-out arenas and Brian was embraced by their fans. But there was to be a twist in the tale. In 2016, Brian was forced to quit the band after being diagnosed with hearing loss, only to make a triumphant return to the band he loved with the release of 2020's smash hit album Power Up. Brian has lived many lives within his lifetime, but somehow he's kept his feet on the ground, never losing touch with his roots.
Touching, personal, indomitable, but always laugh-out-loud funny, The Lives of Brian is the story of one of the world's best-loved performers, told in his own inimitable and unique voice. 'Nine lives, Cat's Eyes. Abusing every one of them, and running wild.'

Weaponisation of Everything
Hybrid War, Grey Zone Warfare, Unrestricted today, traditional conflict—fought with guns, bombs, and drones—has become too expensive to wage, too unpopular at home, and too difficult to manage. In an age when America threatens Europe with sanctions, and when China spends billions buying influence abroad, the world is heading for a new era of permanent low-level conflict, often unnoticed, undeclared, and unending.
As conflict once again returns to Europe, transnational crime expert Mark Galeotti provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking survey of the new way of war. Ranging across the globe, Galeotti shows how today’s conflicts are fought with everything from disinformation and espionage to crime and subversion, leading to instability within countries and a legitimacy crisis across the globe. But rather than suggest that we hope for a return to a bygone era of “stable” warfare, Galeotti details ways of surviving, adapting, and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by this new reality.

Halálos ráadás
Egy csillogó partin meggyilkolnak egy népszerű színészt. Eve Dallas talán még soha nem nyomozott ennyire erős reflektorfényben. Vagy ennyire halálosban...
Eliza Lane és Brant Fitzhugh, a híres házaspár, akik egyaránt meghódították Hollywoodot és a Boadwayt, ragyogó fogadást adnak, tele A listás sztárokkal. Idővel Eve Dallas is megérkezik - csakhogy egyáltalán nem vendégként. Miután Fitzhugh köszöntőre emelte a poharát, ciánmérgezés jeleit mutatva holtan zuhant a padlóra, a rendőrség érkezése pedig véget vetett a szórakozásnak.
A jelek szerint nem az a fajta sztár volt, aki halmozta az ellenségeit. Mindenki szerette - még az özvegye is. Mivel a halálát okozó pezsgőkoktélt eredetileg Elizának szánta, talán a felesége volt az igazi célpont, akivel kapcsolatban képbe került egy nemrég elbocsátott asszisztens, egy megkeseredett rivális, továbbá egy megszállott rajongó. Eve dolga rájönni, hogy a számos meghívott, valamint a személyzet és a felszolgálók között ki követte el a gyilkosságot a tömeg kellős közepén - és mi volt az igazi indítéka.
Minthogy Eve nem kedveli a reflektorfényt, aggasztja az eset körüli médiacirkusz. Nem akar mást, mint rájönni, ki az, aki valóban ártatlan, és ki, aki csupán eljátssza az ártatlanságát...
Scandalized
THE PERFECT NEW ROMCOM!
A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love - a steamy romance debut perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey, Helen Hoang and Rosie Danan.
Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck overnight in a city with no hotel rooms to be had. But when a familiar face appears - the older brother of her childhood friend - and offers help, Gigi finally seems to have caught a break.
Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind - exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift - that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn't the only reason he seems so familiar to her. He also happens to be an international TV star. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality... one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.
Diamond Hill
1987, Hong Kong. Trying to outrun his demons, a young man who calls himself Buddha returns to the bustling place of his birth. He moves into a small Buddhist nunnery in the crumbling neighbourhood of Diamond Hill, where planes landing at the nearby airport fly so close overhead that travellers can see into the rooms of those below.
As Buddha begins to care for the nuns and their neighbours, this pocket of the old city is vanishing. Even the fiery Iron Nun cannot prevent the frequent landslides that threaten the nunnery she fights for, and in the nearby shanty town, a faded film actress who calls herself Audrey Hepburn is hiding a deep secret and trying to survive with her teenage daughter who has a bigger fish to fry.
But no one arrives in Diamond Hill by accident, and Buddha's ties to this place run deeper than he is willing to admit. Can he make peace with his past and survive in this disappearing city?
Beautifully written and utterly compelling, Diamond Hill is a gorgeous love letter that perfectly captures a lost place, filled with unforgettable characters. If you love books by Hanya Yanagihara, Colm Toibin and Ocean Vuong, you'll adore this haunting and evocative novel.
