Baden, Kostolac, Vučedol and Vinkovci
The book treats three primary themes. The first covers the Baden, Kostolac/Bošáca and Vučedol cultures, demonstrating their genetic relationship and indigenous development. This development is marked by changes in distribution (the global horizontal stratigraphy) caused by the penetration of the Pit Grave Culture, our second theme. The third theme analyses the emergence of the EBA. Particular attention is afforded to the absolute chronology. Two excursuses discuss finds outside the Carpathian Basin, but part of its cultural sphere. The archaeological analysis of the cultures underpins a novel cultural and historical interpretation.

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."

All's Well That Ends Well
All's Well That Ends Well is a play by William Shakespeare, originally classified as a comedy, though now often counted as one of his problem plays, so-called because they cannot be easily classified as tragedy or comedy. It was probably written in later middle part of Shakespeare's career, between 1601 and 1608, and was first published in the First Folio in 1623.The name of the play comes from the proverb All's well that ends well, which means that problems do not matter so long as the outcome is good.

Balíček 3ks Na motorce kolem světa + Dlouhá cesta na jih + Závod do Dakaru
Na motorce kolem světa
Většině motorářů nestačí jenom jezdit po městě. Za chvíli je ovládne nutkání jezdit pořád rychleji a na vzdálenější místa a podlehnou lákadlu otevřené cesty. Ježdění na motorkách není jenom o tom, že tam prostě napálíš nejvyšší rychlost. Je to taky o tom, že si dáváš načas, pomalu polykáš kilometry, křižuješ silnice, necháváš se unést kamkoliv tě cesta zavede, neděláš si starosti s tím, kam máš dojet a užíváš si jízdu.
Tento příběh jistě znáte z televizního pořadu, který byl u nás vysílaný pod názvem Na mašině kolem světa. Kniha přináší hlubší a otevřenější pohled na často strastiplnou cestu na dvou kolech , byť s podpůrným týmem v zádech.
Dlouhá cesta na jih
V pořadí druhé dobrodružství známé herecké dvojice, tentokráte Afrikou. Cherley Boorman glosuje: Vzpomínám si, jak to začalo. Bylo to jednoho pozdního pátečního večera v říjnu 2004. Byli jsme v naší staré kanceláři na Bulwer Street. Všude byly krabice a kusy papíru, a veškeré vybavení bylo pryč. Několik minut jsme tam jen tak stáli a přemýšleli. Tady začala celá naše cesta "Na motorce kolem světa". Tady jsme to všechno plánovali, kontrolovali mapy; tady jsme poprvé uviděli ty motorky. Bylo to za námi. Objeli jsme svět. Byla to obrovská cesta. Impozantní dobrodružství. Ale teď už bylo po všem. Na zdech pořád ještě visely mapy a my zase stáli před nimi.
Závod do Dakaru
Byli jsme kdesi v kanceláři a do místnosti právě přinesli naši knihu Na motorce kolem světa. Panovalo tam skutečné vzrušení. Oba jsme zavřeli oči a zakryli si je rukama a kniha byla položena na stůl. A pak: ta dá! Byla tady a my jsme tam byli, stáli jsme na obálce hrdě jako dva objevitelé z dávných dob. Naše první kniha. Byla tou první pro nás pro oba a oba jsme se jeden na druhého hrozně křenili.
„Fíha,“ řekli jsme.
„Koukni na to... ten obrázek se táhne přes celou obálku.“
„Paráda.“Chvíli jsme v ní v tichosti listovali, prohlíželi si skupinové fotky a předčítali jsme kratičké kousky. Hruď mi naplňoval pocit hrdosti, když Charley najednou prohlásil: „A kurva."
„Co?“ zeptal jsem se.
„Je tady napsaný, že v roce 2006 jedu Dakar.“
Druhý spánek
Píše se rok 1468. Mladý kněz Christopher Fairfax přijíždí do odlehlé vesnice ve Wessexu, aby vykonal pohřeb tamního faráře. Země v okolí je posetá starými artefakty – mincemi, úlomky skla, lidskými kostmi - které starý farář sbíral. Nevedla tato posedlost k jeho smrti? Fairfax se rozhoduje odhalit pravdu. V průběhu příštích šesti dnů bude vše, čemu věří, podrobeno zničující zkoušce. Poslední spánek je postapokalyptický román s nečekaným zvratem. Příběh se odehrává v budoucnosti, nikoli v minulosti. Dozvídáme se, že kolem roku 2025 se spletitě propojená globální společnost, o které dnes uvažujeme jako o čemsi naprosto samozřejmém, totálně zhroutila. Jak? Důvodů se nabízí víc. Mezi zbytky těch, kdo přežili, přinejmenším v Británii, se vynořil nový společenský řád pod vedením katolické církve. V novém kalendáři těchto lidí se rok 2025 stává rokem 666 (podle biblické „číslice šelmy“, jak je popsáno ve Zjevení Janově 13:15-18). Rok 1468 je tudíž od současnosti vzdálen do budoucnosti o více než 800 let. V Posledním spánku Harris zkoumá svět, který je neznámý a starý, a zároveň poukazuje na důsledky našeho flagrantního ignorování současných existenciálních nebezpečí. Staví nás do jádra záhady. Katastrofa, která postihla svět, je důsledkem naší chamtivosti a ctižádostivosti, naší arogance. Zodpovědní jsme za to my všichni…

The Wood Beyond the World
The Wood Beyond the World is a fantasy novel by William Morris, perhaps the first modern fantasy writer to unite an imaginary world with the element of the supernatural, and thus the precursor of much of present-day fantasy literature.When the wife of Golden Walter betrays him for another man, he leaves home on a trading voyage to avoid the necessity of a feud with her family. His efforts are fruitless, as word comes to him enroute that his wife's clan has killed his father. As a storm then carries him to a faraway country, the effect of this news is merely to sunder his last ties to his homeland.

Brewing (EN)
The brewing of beer is regarded by many as a more or less mechanical operation, yet there is much more to it. Great is its debt of gratitude to the labours of scientific men. The aim of this work is therefore to show the number of scientific investigations of the first order of importance, which have given rise to the brewing industry.

Jediná chyba může zničiť ligu spravedlnosti.

Between Truth and Time: A History of Soviet Central Television
The first full-length, archive-based history of Soviet Central Television's production and programming in the decades before perestroika
In the first full-length study of Soviet Central Television to draw extensively on archival sources, interviews, and television recordings, Evans challenges the idea that Soviet mass culture in the Brezhnev era was dull and formulaic. Tracing the emergence of play, conflict, and competition on Soviet news programs, serial films, and variety and game shows, Evans shows that Soviet Central Television's most popular shows were experimental and creative, laying the groundwork for Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and the post-Soviet media system.

Tales of Three Hemispheres
Tales of Three Hemispheres is a collection of fantasy short stories by Lord Dunsany. The first edition was published in Boston by John W. Luce & Co. in November, 1919; the first British edition was published in London by T. Fisher Unwin in June, 1920.The collection's significance in the history of fantasy literature was recognized by its republication in a new edition by Owlswick Press in 1976, with illustrations by Tim Kirk and a foreword by H. P. Lovecraft, actually a general article on Dunsany's work originally written by Lovecraft in 1922, but unpublished until it appeared in his posthumous Marginalia (Arkham House, 1944).The book collects 14 short pieces by Dunsany; the last three, under the general heading "Beyond the Fields We Know," are related tales, as explained in the publisher's note preceding the first, "Idle Days on the Yann," which was previously published in the author's earlier collection A Dreamer's Tales, but reprinted in the current one owing to the relationship.Source: Wikipedia

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.

Antony and Cleopatra
Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare. It was first printed in the First Folio of 1623.The plot is based on Thomas North's translation of Plutarch's Life of Markus Antonius and follows the relationship between Cleopatra and Mark Antony from the time of the Parthian War to Cleopatra's suicide. The major antagonist is Octavius Caesar, one of Antony's fellow triumvirs and the future first emperor of Rome. The tragedy is a Roman play characterized by swift, panoramic shifts in geographical locations and in registers, alternating between sensual, imaginative Alexandria and the more pragmatic, austere Rome. Many consider the role of Cleopatra in this play one of the most complex female roles in Shakespeare's work. She is frequently vain and histrionic, provoking an audience almost to scorn; at the same time, Shakespeare's efforts invest both her and Antony with tragic grandeur. These contradictory features have led to famously divided critical responses.
