Magnus Chase and the Ship of the Dead
Rick Riordan's Norse hero faces his greatest challenge yet in the final instalment of the series.
Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day.
Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly.
THE GOOD PEOPLE OF PALOCZ
It was a thick, foggy morning; the fog seemed densest in the precincts of the Court House. It had enveloped completely this gloomy building, making it look more repellent than ever. It had settled there as if with a fixed determination to remain.
The very air in the hall smelt of this damp fog, and even the whisky whose odour permeated the entire place was giving way to it. The circular ventilator in the highest window-pane was choked by it, and revolved but slowly.
The judges leaned wearily back in their comfortable chairs; one closed his eyes, and sleepily listened to the scratching of the clerk’s pen; another yawningly drummed with his pencil on the green table, whilst the president, balancing his glasses on the tip of his nose, was mopping his perspiring brow with his handkerchief. In the interval of rest this noble gentleman perspired freely he scrutinized fixedly the door, through which but a few moments previous those people interested in the case just tried had passed.

The Mutineer: A Romance of Pitcairn Island
The Mutineer: A Romance of Pitcairn Islandby Louis Becke and Walter Jeffery: The tale of the mutiny of His Majesty's armed ship Bounty, which led to the founding of the Pitcairn community, is well known. All that needs to be told here is from Tahiti with a cargo of breadfruit trees for planting in the West Indies, the master's mate, Fletcher Christian, and others of the crew mutinied. Casting adrift the Commander, Lieutenant William Bligh, and eighteen loyal officers in the ship's boat, the mutineers sailed the Bounty back to Tahiti, then to Tubuai in the Austral Group. There, relations with the inhabitants soon deteriorated and, spurred by the fear of discovery and arrest, eight of the mutineers set sail with Christian in search of an uninhabited island, secure from the outside world. To help them the men took with them six Tahitian men and, to look after them and be their consorts, twelve Tahitian women.

Lacná kniha Dva kavalíři z Verony - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Dva kavalíři z Verony patří k Shakespearovým raným komediím. Hra vnikla někdy v letech 1590-1594. Má se za to, že byla napsána až po Komedii omylů a Zkrocení zlé ženy, ale s ohledem na jistou jednoduchost výstupů, v nichž se v převážné míře střídají monology či promluvy stranou jedné osoby s dialogy dvou postav, ji někteří pokládají za vůbec první Shakespearovou hru.

After the Fire - A tűz után
A dolgok, amiket láttam, belém égtek, akár a sebhelyek,
amik nem akarnak halványulni.
Korábban egy kerítésen belül élt a családjával.
Most csapdába esett egy szövetségi intézményben.
Korábban nem hagyhatta el a birtokot, nem beszélhetett a Kívülállókkal.
Most túl sok ember tesz fel neki kérdéseket arról, mi történt vele,
és próbálja kitalálni, ki is ő valójában. Korábban úgy hitte, óvják valamitől.
Most az emberek azt mondják neki, végre biztonságban van.
Nem tudja, melyik volt jobb: korábban vagy most. Csak annyit tud, hogy
vannak kérdések, amiket nem válaszolhat meg. És ha minden, amit eddig
mondtak neki, hazugság, honnan tudhatná, hogy most ki mond igazat?
Izgalmas és megindító,
A tűz után tökéletes olvasmány mindenkinek, aki szereti...
...a kultusztémákat,
...a letehetetlen kamaszthrillereket,
...a címlapra kívánkozó csavarokat,
...az olvasmányos történeteket, amik egyszerűen beszippantanak.
YALSA-lista-győztes
Lebilincselő és felejthetetlen történet egy szektában való élet utáni
túlélésről, amelyet az 1993-as texasi, úgynevezett "wacói ostrom"
dávidista túlélői ihlettek.
Mélyedj el benne!
The Vine Witch - A szőlő boszorkánya
Sose átkozz meg boszorkányt!
A Château Renard szőlőültetvény évszázadokon át a szőlő boszorkányainak tehetségétől függött, akiknek bűbája létrehozta a völgy világhírű borát.
Ám miután átkot szórtak rá, sorciére Elena Boureanu elvesztette képességét. Most, hogy megtörte az átkot, ami egy mocsár sekély vizébe kényszerítette, és legyengítette varázserejét, Elena küszködik, hogy visszatérjen korábbi életébe. Időközben azonban öröksége - a szőlészet - egy jóképű idegen tulajdonába került.
Jean-Paul Martel csak és kizárólag a tudományra esküszik. Elutasítja a babonát, és távol áll tőle a helybeliek hite a boszorkányokban.
Elena viszont járatos a bűbájban, és tudja, hogy a szőlészet hemzseg a rontástól. Hogy maradhasson, és meggyógyítsa a szőlőültetvényt, titkolnia kell valódi kilétét és a bosszúszomjas terveit is az ellen a személy ellen, aki ellopott hét évet az életéből. Nem nyugszik,
amíg szembe nem száll a gonosz erőkkel, amik őt, Jean-Pault és a szőlőboszorkányok ősi örökségét fenyegetik Chanceux Valley dimbes-dombos vidékén.
Hagyd, hogy elvarázsoljon!
Šaría pre nemoslimov
Islam je politický systém s vlastnou zbierkou zákonov, ktorá sa volá šaría. Šaría je založená na úplne iných princípoch ako náš právny systém. Mnohé z jej nariadení sa pritom týkajú aj nemoslimov. Čo znamená právo šaría pre našich občanov? Ako sa nás dotýka? Aké budú dôsledky, ak dovolíme moslimom riadiť sa šaríou a nie našimi zákonmi? Každá požiadavka moslimov je založená na myšlienke nastolenia šaríe v našej krajine. Mali by sme u nás šaríu povoliť alebo nie? A prečo? Ako môžu politici alebo úradníci rozhodovať o práve šaría, keď mu nerozumejú? Je to správne? V tejto knihe nájdete odpovede na všetky tieto otázky.
