Journey to the Centre of the Earth
When the chance discovery of an ancient cryptogram reveals a path to the Underworld, the adventurous Professor Otto Lidenbrock sets off to Iceland, determined to reach the centre of the earth. But nothing can prepare him and his nephew Axel for what they will find beneath the ground; measureless caverns and vast subterranean seas reveal all of the earth's known history and more, while dinosaurs do battle, giant men herd mastodons, and danger and excitement wait around every corner.
Richly illustrated by Edouard Riou, the French painter and illustrator who worked with Jules Verne on six of his novels, this Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Journey to the Centre of the Earth also includes an afterword by Ned Halley.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
V topánkach z túlavého teľaťa
Jeden z popredných predstaviteľov starej generácie slovenských horolezcov, geológ a cestovateľ Ivan Lehotský prináša zbierku bizarných dobrodružstiev a príhod z hôr a ciest po svete, aké dokáže napísať len sám život – ak mu k tomu človek trochu pomôže svojou dobrodružnou povahou.
Zažil ešte to, čo dnešní lezci vnímajú ako horolezecký „pravek“, stál na nespočetnom množstve známych i úplne neznámych vrcholov na všetkých obývaných kontinentoch a spoznal všetky tváre hôr, tú krásnu, i tú strašnú, keď mu hory vzali kamaráta. Ako expert, terénny geológ objavoval pre svet nerastné poklady Ázie i Afriky a pritom si v Mongolsku skúsil život ako z kníh Karla Maya, keď bol odkázaný len na svojho koňa a svoju pušku. V severnej Afrike zase na obyčajnej Lade robil objavné cesty, na aké si mnohí netrúfnu ani na expedičných teréniakoch. A napokon ako cestovateľ a turistický sprievodca pochodil celý svet a s bežným slovenským autobusom prešiel aj po cestách, kade ešte žiadny autobus nešiel. Veselé i smutné, napínavé i dojímavé, zábavné i poučné... to všetko nájdete v tejto knižke.

A moment of devastating violence shatters the group, and changes the direction of everyone's story. Brave and brilliant, a Guide to Berlin traces the strength and fragility of our connections through biographies and secrets.
