Bucholz and the Detectives
The following pages narrate a story of detective experience, which, in many respects, is alike peculiar and interesting, and one which evinces in a marked degree the correctness of one of the cardinal principles of my detective system, viz.: "That crime can and must be detected by the pure and honest heart obtaining a controlling power over that of the criminal."

Zloděj psů
Nová kniha Josefa Habase Urbana, autora Habermannova mlýna a dalších bestsellerů, je na světě.
"Zloděj psů"
Deset dobrodružných povídek o síle vztahu psa a člověka ilustroval legendární malíř Rychlých šípů, Marko Čermák. "Pojí nás s nimi místo a čas, už více než 10.000 let, " říká Josef Urban. "Od doby kamenné jdeme bok po boku a někdy taky proti sobě."
"Někdy je to "psina", jakou bych od autora válečné a dobrodružné literatury nečekala, jindy mi stydla krev v žilách, " říká Jana Vávrová, nakladatelka knihy a dodává, " "Zloděj" mne opravdu nadchnul, ale ještě víc popudil, a tak jsem si pořídila psa, abych sama zjistila, jestli je všechno to, o čem Josef Urban píše, možné."
Milovníci zvířat, romantiky a hlavně pejskaři, šiřte všemi směry - pro krásu a slávu potomka vlka, vždyť PROTO EXISTUJEME SPOLU.
Všem fandům díky!

The Castle of Otranto
The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, and it was indeed the first novel to describe itself by that term. Castle is thus generally credited with initiating the Gothic literary genre, one that would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole is arguably the forerunner of such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Daphne du Maurier.
