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.

Společným zájmem hned několika odborníků je řešení otázky otroctví na Kubě v devatenáctém století, jehož likvidace byla současně problémem ekonomickým, sociálním a kulturním. Na tuto problematiku pak navazují další autoři zabývající se literárním projekty dvacátého století, v nichž je sledován odkaz na africké dědictví v literaturách karibských ostrovů.

Mastery of the Stars Box Set 1 to 3
The first three novellas in the Mastery of the Stars series. Join Sevan and his team as they suffer adventures around the glaxy in THE DOOMED PLANET, SHIPMENT TO DAPHNIS and ROCKET TO TRINCULO
Finding himself suspended upside down from a burning tree above a pack of ravenous beasts was a bit of a surprise for Sevan.
It had been one heck of a week. One minute he'd been struggling to meet his Corporation targets, the next he'd been promoted...
And then he'd found himself on a stolen freighter with the Resistance, on their way to find the President of the system.
But sometimes, stuff like that just happens... right?
When he discovers that the President is really a ball of gas, and the Corporation is trying to destroy the presidential cruiser on which he's trapped, that's when he starts to lose his sense of humour.
It couldn't possibly get worse ... or could it?
If this book was the illegitimate offspring of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Star Wars, they would probably put it up for adoption.
The Doomed Planet is the first novella in the light-hearted Mastery of the Stars space opera series.
On Sevan's first day as the Chief Council member, he causes a riot...
...his best friend is arrested...
....and then things go really wrong...
Will Sevan be able to work out who is trying to destroy his home planet before it is too late?
Shipment to Daphnis is the second novella in the light-hearted space opera series, Mastery of the Stars
When Sevan's home planet is destroyed, he decides to track down and kill the perpetrator
But in his efforts to enrol the help of the last assassins he loses his ship and then his friends.
Can a ball of gas claiming to be the president's nephew provide the solution?
Republic fighters have a different idea and Sevan finds himself in a flight for his life.
Rocket to Trinculo is the third novella in the light-hearted Mastery of the Stars space opera series.

Wanted! The Job of Your Dreams – Better Career Choice Reorientation Job Application
This is what this book brings you: you support climate protection, quickly receive compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press comments in the book preview) as well as advice that has been tested in practice, which also leads to success step by step thanks to AddOn. Because the demands when choosing a career job search and application are high: interesting and exciting should be the dream job in Spe, but at the same time also safe and with good earnings prospects. But young people in particular often base their career choice on role models, their own parents or what is predicted as job prospects on the labor market. However, this can change more quickly than one might think; firmly established career paths dictated by vocational training are becoming increasingly rare, and the content of many training programs can barely keep pace with technological progress. Therefore, one should reflect on one's own talents and abilities and thus positively highlight the undreamed-of potential of one's own strengths in the application process. In this way, you may find a dream job you hadn't even thought of, and you can always adapt flexibly to an increasingly fast-changing job market, which is also an advantage if you want to change your career later in life. This book shows the opportunities and possibilities in the dream job search as well as obstacles and thus helps to find the right path. We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form. Our guidebooks are aimed primarily at beginners. Readers who are looking for more in-depth information can get it for free as an add-on with individual content in German and English as desired. This concept is made possible by a particularly efficient, innovative digital process and Deep Learning, AI systems that use neural networks in translation. The publishing company donates at least 5 percent of its reveniew from book sales to charitable organizations involved in reforestation projects and climate protection - more detailed information on request. Publisher Simone Janson is also chairwoman of the board of the Berufebilder Yourweb Foundation, bestselling author and was one of the 20 most important German bloggers as well as a columnist for renowned media - more about her in Wikipedia.

The New Testament, King James Version
The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.In most of the world the Authorized Version has passed out of copyright and is freely reproduced. This is not the case in the United Kingdom where the rights to the Authorized Version are held by the British Crown under perpetual Crown copyright. [Source: Wikipedia]
