Big Ideas from Literature
This third book in the best-selling Big Ideas series introduces readers to the classics, as well as modern children’s fiction—a charming addition to Big Ideas for Curious Minds and Big Ideas from History
Great stories are often universal: our very souls shine with new ideas when we read them. Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom we haven’t learnt yet, showing us that there are people like us, or showing us the opposite, that other people live very different lives. Books can be a friend when you need one the most and you can use them to help and inspire others, too.
Big Ideas from Literature helps the child discover key ideas that lots of different books are trying to teach through the stories they tell – and helps the growing child develop empathy and resilience.
This book teaches children (and adults!) about the history of literature, from the first ever story that was written down to the invention of books just for children. The best children’s books become our dearest friends and companions.
Children discover characters from a diverse range of books – including J. M. Barrie’s Peter Pan, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Young Dark Emu: A Truer History by Bruce Pascoe – and learn how these stories can help them better understand the world around them.

The Secret Circle - A titkos kör - 2. A fogoly
Túlélheti a Titkos Kör a veszedelmet?
Cassie az iskola legmenőbb, legizgalmasabb klikkjében találja magát, és megrészegíti frissen felfedezett ereje, ami ugyanolyan veszélyes, amilyen ellenállhatatlan.
A Kör két tagja közti viszályban, hogy mire használják titokzatos képességeiket, Cassie egyikük párjához, Adamhez fordul - és saját veszedelmes szerelme foglyává válik.
A varázslatos románc ígéretétől megbabonázott Cassie meghódítja Adam szívét, ám felborítja az erő kényes egyensúlyát, és a szenvedélyek váratlan viharát szabadítja el.
Elkerülhetik, hogy mindannyiukat feleméssze a jó, a gonosz és a tiltott szerelem baljós küzdelme?

The best of Czech Press Photo 20 Years
The Best of Czech Press Photo – obrazy dvou desetiletí je název zcela výjimečné publikace, která vyšla k otevření výstavy jubilejního 20.ročníku Czech Press Photo 2014. Na 496 stranách předkládá citově působivou obrazovou historii posledních dvaceti let, ale i pohled na podobu fotografie uplynulé doby. Jako v napínavém filmu zde defilují všechny „Fotografie roku“, a tak divák-čtenář znovu prožívá hlavní události a jevy jednotlivých let - válečné konflikty a přírodní katastrofy v dopadu na konkrétní osudy lidí, boj o dítě v dnešních rodinách, snahu jednotlivce postavit se rozpínavosti průmyslových koncernů, korupční aféry, které se šíří společností jako epidemie, ale i úsilí člověka zvítězit sám nad sebou. Je tu i přehled často překvapivých fotografií, kterým daly svou cenu děti, a také ty, jež v anketách oslovily na rozdíl od mezinárodních odborných porotců největší počet návštěvníků a získaly tak „Ceny diváků“. To, co je však vůbec nejpůsobivější, jsou přehledně uspořádané kapitoly věnované jednotlivým soutěžním kategoriím. V nich je možné na výběru těch nejlepších snímků z nejlepších postupně, rok za rokem sledovat, jak jsme v posledních dvou desetiletích žili, jak jsme se menili, čím vším jsme procházeli a co se dělo ve světě i bezprostředně kolem nás – v každodenním životě, ve sportu, ve společnosti, v politice, v přírodě i v nás samých … Úvodní text Daniely Mrázkové se zabývá nejen pohledem na současnost obrazového novinářství, ale je i vhledem do jeho budoucnosti. A totéž lze říci o komentářích členů mezinárodních porot Czech Press Photo.

The Woman Who Killed the Fish
"That woman who killed the fish unfortunately is me," begins the title story, but "if it were my fault, I'd own up to you, since I don't lie to boys and girls. I only lie sometimes to a certain type of grownup because there's no other way." Enumerating all the animals she's loved-cats, dogs, lizards, chickens, monkeys-Clarice finally asks: "Do you forgive me?"
"The Mystery of the Thinking Rabbit" is a detective story that explains that bunnies think with their noses: for a single idea a bunny might "scrunch up his nose fifteen thousand times" (he may not be too bright, but "he's not foolish at all when it comes to making babies"). The third tale, "Almost True," is a shaggy dog yarn narrated by a pooch who is very worried about a wicked witch: "I am a dog named Ulisses and my owner is Clarice." The wonderful last story, "Laura's Intimate Life" stars "the nicest hen I've ever seen." Laura is "quite dumb," but she has her "little thoughts and feelings. Not a lot, but she's definitely got them. Just knowing she's not completely dumb makes her feel all chatty and giddy. She thinks that she thinks." A one-eyed visitor from Jupiter arrives and vows Laura will never be eaten: she's been worrying, because "humans are a weird sort of person" who can love hens and eat them, too. Such throw away wisdom abounds: "Don't even get me started." These delightful, high-hearted stories, written for her own boys, have charm to burn and are a treat for every Lispector reader.

Drakula vendége - A cigányasszony jóslata - Dracula's Guest - The Gypsy's Prophecy - Kétnyelvű klasszikusok
Bram Stoker két olyan novelláját mutatjuk be, amelyek szerencsés véget érnek. Mintha Stoker írói pályája vége felé világszemlélete szétmarcangolt univerzumában megtalálta volna az összhangot, a harmóniát.
A Drakula vendége című elbeszélésben a hírhedt gróf személye csak közvetve jelenik meg, az elbeszélés végén, mint egy levél írója, amely egyenesen megmentőként tünteti őt fel. A megmentett elbeszélő, egy angol utazó a bajorországi München közelében kirándulásra indul. Kocsisa remegve motyogja el, hogy a Walpurgis-éj következik, a boszorkányszombat éjszakája. Az utazó elbocsátja a rettegő kocsist, és gyalog vág az útnak. Hóviharba kerül, végül egy temetőbe jut, ahol egy kripta bejáratánál húzza meg magát. Aléltan a földre kerül, s amikor föleszmél, a mellén keresztben fekszik egy nagy farkas. Egy csapat katona érkezik a megmentésére, a végén pedig kiderül, hogy kinek is köszönheti az életét.
A cigányasszony jóslatában egy boldog házas ifjú azt hallja a jövendőmondó cigányasszonytól, hogy hamarosan meg fogja ölni a feleségét. A felvilágosult fiatalember nem hisz neki, de utána egy sor esemény kikezdi ezt a bizonyosságot. Így jutunk el a fináléhoz, amely végső soron igazat ad mind az okkultizmusnak, mind a racionalizmusnak.

OWC Four Comedies : The Braggart Soldier, The Brothers Menaechmus, The Haunted House, The Pot of Gold
Plautus was the single greatest influence on Western comedy. Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors and Moliere's The Miser are two subsequent classics directly based on Plautine originals. Plautus himself borrowed from the Greeks, but his jokes, rapid dialogue, bawdy humour, and irreverent characterizations are the original work of an undisputed genius. The comedies printed here show him at his best, and professor Segal's translations keep their fast, rollicking pace intact, making these the most readable and actable versions available. His introduction considers Plautus' place in ancient comedy, examines his continuing influence, and celebrates his power to entertain.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oxford World´s Classics)
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.' When Dorian Gray has his portrait painted, he is captivated by his own beauty. Tempted by his world-weary, decadent friend Lord Henry Wotton, he wishes to stay forever young, and pledges his very soul to keep his good looks. Set in fin-de-siecle London, the novel traces a path from the studio of painter Basil Hallward to the opium dens of the East End. As Dorian's slide into crime and cruelty progresses he stays magically youthful, while his beautiful portrait changes, revealing the hideous corruption of moral decay. Ever since its first publication in 1890 Wilde's only novel has remained the subject of critical controversy. Acclaimed by some as an instructive moral tale, it has been denounced by others for its implicit immorality. Combining elements of the supernatural, aestheticism, and the Gothic, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an unclassifiable and uniquely unsettling work of fiction.
