Strangers in the Night - Ava Gardner és Frank Sinatra viharos szerelme
Az egyikük kisvárosi szépségből lett hollywoodi szerelemistennő. A másikuk legendás énekes, akinek hangja megbabonázta az egész világot. Ava Gardner és Frank Sinatra külön-külön ellenállhatatlan személyiségek, együtt viszont robbanékony párost alkotnak.
A 20. század közepén Ava csillaga egyre fényesebben ragyog, Frank karrierje azonban hanyatlik – az ellentét féltékenykedést szül közöttük, a vágyakozás dühbe csap át, és a boldogságuk lépten-nyomon veszélybe kerül. Miközben a szerelmespár a siker és a kudarc, a szenvedély és a harag hullámvasútján utazik, azon tűnődnek, vajon melyik fordulat okozza a karrierjük, valamint az egymással megosztott élet végét.
A magával ragadó, kontinenseken és évtizedeken átívelő Strangers in the Night a huszadik század legizgalmasabb szerelmi történetét eleveníti meg.
Teachers on the Waves of Transformation
Transformující se společnost prochází změnami na mnoha úrovních. Těmi hlavními dvěma jsou změny ve strukturách a kultuře společnosti. Jak se však tyto velké změny promítají do životů jednotlivců a malých společenství? Kniha Učitelé na vlnách transformace se snaží přispět k porozumění těmto otázkám pomocí exploratorního výzkumu na dvou školách v menším městě ve středních Čechách. V obou školách sleduje autorka osudy dvou generací učitelů. Při rozhovorech s učiteli, vedením i rodiči se zaměřuje na oblast vztahů, hodnot, sdílených příběhů i symbolického a rituálního světa – tedy na kulturu školy.

The Port of Missing Men
There is romance of love, mystery, plot, and fighting, and a breathless dash and go about the telling which makes one quite forget about the improbabilities of the story; and it all ends in the old-fashioned healthy American way. Shirley is a sweet, courageous heroine whose shining eyes lure from page to page.

In this riotous young adult romp for fans of Recommended for You and A Cuban Girl's Guide to Tea and Tomorrow, a teen girl has the worst Valentine's Day ever-only to relive it over and over again.
After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine's Day, Emilie Hornby escapes to her grandmother's house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry's. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she's back home in her own bed-and it's Valentine's Day all over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.
Emilie is stuck in some sort of time loop nightmare that she can't wake up from as she re-watches her boyfriend, Josh, cheat on her day after day. In addition to Josh's recurring infidelity, Emilie can't get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into-sometimes literally-in unfortunate ways.
How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
The Story of a Nodding Donkey
From the "Make Believe Stories":The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued together. His head was not glued on, however, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also sidewise.It is not every wooden donkey who is able to nod his head in as many ways as could the Donkey about whom I am going to tell you. This Nodding Donkey was an especially fine toy, and, as has been said, his first birthday was that on which he received such a bright, shiny coat of varnish.
