Hitler is determined to start a war. Chamberlain is desperate to preserve the peace.
They will meet in a city which forever afterwards will be notorious for what is about to take place.
As Chamberlain's plane judders over the channel and the Fuhrer's train steams south, two young men travel with their leaders. Former friends from a more peaceful time, they are now on opposing sides.
As Britain's darkest hour approaches, the fate of millions could depend on them - and the secrets they're hiding.
Spying. Betrayal. Murder. Is any price too high for peace?
Bad Kitty: Puppy's Big Day (paperback black-and-white edition)
Bad Kitty's in a bad mood . . . a very bad mood, and Puppy is not helping.
Enter Uncle Murray, who's tasked with taking care of Puppy for the day, but that's when the trouble begins. When they go on a walk through the park, Uncle Murray almost gets himself arrested while Puppy ends up in the pound, where he meets some very peculiar new pals.
Persuasion
Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne Elliot remains one of the literature's most unforgettable confessions. It is the jewel at the heart of PERSUASION, Jane Austen's captivating story of second chances and enduring love. Throughout the story, letters, newspapers, maps, and other paper ephemera reveal the characters' deepest motivations and shape their destinies. Anne's snobbish father obsesses over a written history of their noble family, and a page from the Bath Chronicle reveals the elaborate social scene of the town where the lovers are finally reunited.
This deluxe edition brings all of this and more to life. As you read the novel, you will find pockets throughout containing replicas of thirteen items from the story, re-created with exquisite calligraphy and painstaking attention to historical detail. For anyone who loves Jane Austen or still cherishes the joy of letter writing, this book deepens the experience of a favorite story in an entirely new way.
Octavius and the Perfect Governess
A governess in jeopardy . . . and the marquis’s son who goes undercover as a housemaid to protect her.Lord Octavius Pryor leads a carefree and untroubled life, until the night he visits Vauxhall Gardens in the guise of a woman.At Vauxhall, Octavius discovers that being a female is very different from being a man. Annoyingly different, unpleasantly different, and—when he encounters the lecherous Baron Rumpole—dangerously different.Determined to teach the baron a lesson, Octavius infiltrates Rumpole’s household, where he meets the woman of his dreams: Miss Toogood, governess to the baron’s daughters.Suddenly Octavius has three pressing tasks. 1) To teach the baron to keep his yardstick in his breeches. 2) To keep Miss Toogood safe. 3) To convince her to marry him.A word of caution: This novel is a bodice ripper, and I mean that quite literally. Bodices are ripped in this book—and not in a playful or sexy way. However, I promise you that all rippers of bodices receive their just desserts.Length: Full-length novel of 88,000 wordsSensuality level: A Regency romance with mild love scenes? ? ? ? ?"The book has many layers and is thought-provoking, but it's also rollicking fun. I laughed, chortled and (once or twice) snorted my way through the many funny parts, I cried and was relieved during the tense parts, and in between I was happy, touched, enchanted, and completely involved from the first word until the last. "~ Amazon reviewerQ & A with the authorHow would you describe this series?It's Regency England with passion, danger, adventure, humor, romance—and a dash of magic. The stories are emotional, but not sweet. There’s sex, and my heroes do swear at times!Hang on. Did you say magic?I did. But don't worry—the books are first and foremost historical romances. Only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.But … do magic and Regency England go together?Definitely! Many years ago I read Sorcery and Cecelia (or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot) by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and totally loved it and ever since then I’ve thought that Regency England and magic go very well together.How would you describe your writing?Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories (EN)
At the heart of these stories, as with all the best of Lovecraft’s work, is the belief that the Earth was once inhabited by powerful and evil gods, just waiting for the chance to recolonise their planet. Cthulhu is one such god, lurking deep beneath the sea until called into being by cult followers who – like all humans – know not what they do.

Tiesto - Drive CD
KDO: Holandského DJe a producenta asi netřeba obšírně představovat. Tiësto je majitelem Grammy a mnoha dalších ocenění, držitel titulu „největší DJ všech dob“, kterým ho zvolili příznivci taneční hudby v anketě věhlasného magazínu Mix, kmotr EDM dle časopisu Billboard a #1 DJ podle mínění redakce konkurenčního Rolling Stone. Tijs Michiel Verwest, jak zní interpretovo občanské jméno, odstartoval hudební kariéru už v roce 1994. V průběhu let se věnoval nejrůznějších tanečním stylům, koketoval s technem, trance a nejrůznějšími subžánry house music. Albově debutoval až v roce 2001 deskou In my Memory, na které najdete hned několik globálních hitů. Dnes je Tiësto skutečná legenda taneční scény.
CO: Sedmé studiové album ikony elektronické hudby. Na desce najdete všechny hity, které Tiësto postupně vydával od roku 2020 včetně The Business, Don’t Be Shy nebo The Motto. Na desku si holandský producent tradičně pozval řadu hostů, objevují se zde třeba Black Eyed Peas, Charli XCX, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Karol G, Ava Max nebo Tate McRae. Nahrávka je k dispozici na CD a LP.

Roderick Hudson (EN)
Roderick Hudson and Rowland Mallet are like two sides of the same coin: while the whimsical and egotistical Roderick recklessly follows his passions in the name of art, altruistic Rowland lives with restraint and measure. The two are bound together almost immediately when Rowland is shown a striking bronze statuette in his cousin’s garden, which moves him to meet and support its creator, Roderick.

Various - Pop Rock Line 1966-1973 2CD
Důležitý chybějící článek v kompilační historii českého bigbítu. Na rozloučenou se šedesátými roky nyní přišly na řadu obvykle singlové a převzaté písně, dokreslující atmosféru doby. Náhražka u nás nedostupných zahraničních originálů, ale také velká šance pro začínající kapely. Pestrobarevné titulkové logo skrývá stejně různorodý obsah, po předchozích "vážných" jazzrockových či artrockových sestavách nabízející lehčí podobu kombinace rocku s dalšími vlivy. Leckteří zde zastoupení se nikdy nedočkali alba, někteří změnili hudební styl či se stali členy doprovodných souborů, jiní se naopak proslavili sólově. Tento výběr dokládá, jak populární u nás tehdy byl west coast či obecně vícehlasý zpěv. Předvádí předtím či potom odlišně úspěšné muzikanty ve službách zahraničním předlohám Beatles, Mamas and Papas, Bee Gees, Tremeloes, Procol Harum, Beach Boys, Hollies a dalších. Dokazuje všeobecné nadšení i potřebnou kvalitu, přenášející část světových hudebních trendů i na naše gramodesky. Čtyřicet čtyři v češtině a různě dobré angličtině "opajcovaných"songů rozšiřuje šestice ukázek šikovnosti domácích autorů. Booklet s ediční poznámkou, zajímavými SP obaly a fotografiemi doplňuje na CD často premiérově vydané nahrávky do podoby beatového dokumentu pod heslem Colours of covers.

The European Polis
The book is in two parts. The first is a critical account of the EU as a political entity, a polis (hence the title), while the second part scrutinises the fraught relationship between the EU and Central Europe. Unlike much of the literature dealing with the EU, this assessment tries to give an account of why the EU behaves as it does.Methodologically the approach is diverse and draws on political theory, sociology, anthropology, cultural semiotics, literary theory, postcolonial theory, history.The heart of the argument is that the EU has changed and this change is potentially and actually a source of pitfalls. The essence of the EU was aimed at conflict resolution at the European level, as there are always asymmetries of power.
