The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (often shortened to Huck Finn) is a novel written by American humorist Mark Twain. It is commonly used and accounted as one of the first Great American Novels. It is also one of the first major American novels written using Local Color Regionalism, or vernacular, told in the first person by the eponymous Huckleberry "Huck" Finn, best friend of Tom Sawyer and hero of three other Mark Twain books.The book is noted for its colorful description of people and places along the Mississippi River. By satirizing Southern antebellum society that was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book is an often scathing look at entrenched attitudes, particularly racism. The drifting journey of Huck and his friend Jim, a runaway slave, down the Mississippi River on their raft may be one of the most enduring images of escape and freedom in all of American literature.

Lacná kniha IFRS a US GAAP / IFRS and US GAAP (-90%)
Jak již z názvu vyplývá, IFRS (Mezinárodní standardy finančního výkaznictví) se zabývají především výstupem, nikoli účetním postupem. Podobně ani US GAAP (Americké obecně uznávané účetní zásady) nedefinují přesné účetní postupy, které se mají při jejich aplikaci používat.
Účetním zvyklým na účetní standardy, které naopak definují vzorovou účtovou osnovu, upravují postupy účtování a přesně definují obsah účetní závěrky, se standardy jako IFRS a US GAAP často zdají být těžko aplikovatelné v praxi. Jako by jim chyběl návod k použití.
Proto tato příručka místo dlouhých výkladů ukazuje jak aplikovat standardy IFRS a US GAAP v každodenní praxi, pomocí toho, co každý účetní zná a miluje: má dáti/dal.
Inspiraci pro příklady čerpá autor především z vlastní praxe a zkušeností ze školení, která pravidelně pořádá už od roku 1995. Navíc kniha obsahuje příklady aplikace nových standardů, které zatím nevstoupily v platnost a není k nim proto žádná zavedená praxe.
Publikace, která obsahuje pouze příklady, samozřejmě nenahradí IFRS a US GAAP, je však cenným průvodcem pro všechny, kteří chtějí tyto standardy aplikovat jednoduše. Všechen text je uváděn dvojjazyčně.

The Heads of Cerberus
One of the first dystopian science fantasies, this novel features a grey dust from an ancient glass vial which is capped with a silver figure of Cerberus, the 3-headed mythological dog that guarded the gate to "Pluto's realm", that is, to Hades. The fine dust transports anyone who inhales it to a totalitarian Philadelphia of 2118 AD. It was written by Gertrude Barrows Bennett (1883–1948) under the pseudonym Francis Stevens. Bennett, the first major female writer of fantasy and science fiction, has been called "the woman who invented dark fantasy."

The Hero with a Thousand Faces
Explore the Hero's Journey in stories as old as humanity and as new as last night's dreamThe latest incarnation of Oedipus, the continued romance of Beauty and the Beast, stand this afternoon on the corner of 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue, waiting for the traffic light to change. — Joseph CampbellSince its release in 1949, The Hero with a Thousand Faceshas influenced millions of readers by combining the insights of modern psychology with Joseph Campbell’s revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology. In these pages, Campbell outlines the Hero’s Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through virtually all of the world’s mythic traditions. He also explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, the mythic pattern of world creation and destruction.As part of the Joseph Campbell Foundation’s Collected Works of Joseph Campbell, this third edition features expanded illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and more accessible sidebars.As relevant today as when it was first published, The Hero with a Thousand Facescontinues to find new audiences in fields ranging from religion and anthropology to literature and film studies. The book has also profoundly influenced creative artists—including authors, songwriters, game designers, and filmmakers—and continues to inspire all those interested in the inherent human need to tell stories.Reviews:“I have returned to no other book more often since leaving college than this one, and every time I discover new insight into the human journey. Every generation will find in Hero wisdom for the ages.” — Bill Moyers“In the three decades since I discovered The Hero with a Thousand Faces, it has continued to fascinate and inspire me. Joseph Campbell peers through centuries and shows us that we are all connected by a basic need to hear stories and understand ourselves. As a book, it is wonderful to read; as illumination into the human condition, it is a revelation.” — George Lucas“Campbell’s words carry extraordinary weight, not only among scholars but among a wide range of other people who find his search down mythological pathways relevant to their lives today....The book for which he is most famous, The Hero with a Thousand Faces [is] a brilliant examination, through ancient hero myths, of man’s eternal struggle for identity.” — Time

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a semi-autobiographical novel by James Joyce, first serialized in The Egoist from 1914 to 1915 and published in book form in 1916. It depicts the formative years in the life of Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and a pointed allusion to the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology, Daedalus.A Portrait is a key example of the Künstlerroman (an artist's bildungsroman) in English literature. Joyce's novel traces the intellectual and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen Dedalus as he begins to question and rebel against the Catholic and Irish conventions he has been brought up in. He finally leaves for Paris to pursue his calling as an artist. The work pioneers some of Joyce's modernist techniques that would later come to fruition in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The Modern Library ranked Portrait as the third greatest English-language novel of the twentieth century.

A Descent into the Maelström
Inspired by the Moskstraumen, it is couched as a story within a story, a tale told at the summit of a mountain climb. The story is told by an old man who reveals that he only appears old - "You suppose me a very old man," he says, "but I am not. It took less than a single day to change these hairs from a jetty black to white, to weaken my limbs, and to unstring my nerves." The narrator, convinced by the power of the whirlpools he sees in the ocean beyond, is then told of the "old" man's fishing trip with his two brothers a few years ago.

The Ravenhood 3. – Célvonal
"Az egyetlen szerelem, amit valaha ismertem vagy amire sóvárogtam, az beteggé tesz, belebetegszem a vágyakozásba, a kéjvágyba, a nyomorúságba és a bánatba. Abba az eltorzult érzésbe, ami sebeket és megcsömörlött szívet hagy hátra".
Tobias King a háttérbe húzódva töltötte eddig az élete legjavát. Magányos farkas és könyörtelen tolvaj, aki sosem tagadta, hogy semmirekellő. A Ravenhoodként ismert titokzatos társaság vezetőjeként egyetlen becságy fűti: a bosszú.
De törekvéseit derékba töri az, amikor beleszeret abba a nőbe, aki tönkre tehet mindent, amit két évtizeden át tervezett. Cecilia Horner iránti mindent felemésztő szenvedélyéért nagy árat kell fizetnie, egyebek közt elveszíthet mindent, ami számára kedves.
De Tobias harcos, és elszánja magát, hogy mindent megszerez: leszámol a régi sérelmekért és visszaszerzi a nőt, akit szeret...
Kate Stewart "Ravenhood" trilógiája elvarázsolta a TikTok közönségét világszerte.
