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.

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.

Rolling Stones, The - Sticky Fingers Live ... 3LP+DVD
Kultovní Rolling Stones vydávají další záznam koncertu ze série From The Vault!
Nesmrtelná rocková legenda šedesátých let vydává 29. září pátý záznam ze série v minulosti nahrávaných koncertů From The Vault – Sticky Fingers: Live At The Fonda Theatre 2015, kde opět dokazují, že ještě rozhodně nepatří, a dlouho patřit nebudou, do starého železa. Záznam nabízí především klasické hity, jako je například Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Dead Flowers a mnoho dalších.
Nejnovější záznam zachycuje unikátní vystoupení, které se odehrálo 20. května 2015 v kalifornském Fonda Theatre, a kde Rolling Stones poprvé a zatím naposledy zahráli na počest vydání jeho reedice album Sticky Fingers od začátku do konce. Show otevírala turné kapely po Severní Americe nazvané Zip Code Tour, které v součtu trvalo dva měsíce. Intimní lazení divadelního prostředí Fonda Theatre kontrastovalo s pompézní atmosférou obřích stadionů naplněných fanoušky, které Rolling Stones nadále na trase šňůry čekali. Vystoupení se tak stalo nezapomenutelným pro ty, kterým se podařilo ulovit lístky, které byly z pochopitelných důvodů ve velmi omezeném počtu.
Set vyjma nezkráceného záznamu samotného představení obsahuje rozhovory s jednotlivými členy kapely, a jako bonus skladby, které jsou vyjmuty z koncertních filmů All Down The Line, When The Whip Comes Down a I Can’t Turn You Loose.
Rolling Stones jsou kapelou, která je od svého počátku v roce 1962, kdy byli protipólem svatouškovských Beatles, nedomyslitelným pilířem rockové hudby. O tom vypovídá i jejich zařazení do žebříčku padesáti nesmrtlených interpretů rock’n’rollu časopisu Rolling Stone, kde se umístili na 4. místě, dvojnásobný zisk Grammy za celoživotní dílo a uvedení do Rock’n’rollové síně slávy. Tvrdé jádro kapely tvoří na rytíře pasovaný zpěvák Mick Jagger a kytarový mág s životním příběhem rebela Keith Richards.

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.

Percival Bland's Proxy and The Missing Mortgagee
These are two short stories from the collection THE GREAT PORTRAIT MYSTERY: "PERCIVAL BLAND'S PROXY" and "THE MISSING MORTGAGEE", wherein the brilliant medical investigator, Dr. Thorndyke, solves murderous crimes.Percival Bland was an uncommon criminal. He knew that his continual passing of counterfeit banknotes would eventually catch up with him, so he had a plan--precautions against the inevitable catastrophe. We can understand why he has created an alternate persona, Robert Lindsay, using disguises and renting two places of residence. No one seems to notice that he and his "cousin" Robert never are at their respective homes simultaneously, nor are they at home when the other visits, nor does anyone see the resemblance of their facial appearance under the makeup. But why does he buy human bones at auction? The lot was described in the catalog as "a complete set of human osteology" but they were not an ordinary "student's set," for the bones of the hands and feet, instead of being strung together on cat-gut, were united by their original ligaments and were "of an unsavoury brown colour." What does he want with those moldy bones? He has a nefarious plan, but it does not fool Dr. Thorndyke.After Dr. Thorndyke solved the case of Percival Bland, the doctor was called in by a life insurance company to investigate another case. There was apparently no doubt that Thomas Elton, a friendless, poverty-stricken artist, had fallen from the top of the overhanging cliff onto the beach. Now, one would suppose with the evidence of this fall of about a hundred and fifty feet, the smashed face and broken neck, there was not much room for doubt as to the cause of death. But Thorndyke indeed has his doubts.

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.
