The Male Escort (EN)
"He puts his feet on the ground and switches off the engine, and when he suddenly pulls off his helmet and shakes his blond shoulder-length hair into place, it feels as if I've been hypnotised. A shiver runs down my spine. The urge to let my gaze drift upwards is too powerful to resist, and I do so without any hesitation.

The Tell-Tale Heart
"The Tell-Tale Heart" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe first published in 1843. It follows an unnamed narrator who insists on his sanity after murdering an old man with a "vulture eye". The murder is carefully calculated, and the murderer hides the body by cutting it into pieces and hiding it under the floorboards. Ultimately the narrator's guilt manifests itself in the hallucination that the man's heart is still beating under the floorboards.It is unclear what relationship, if any, the old man and his murderer share. It has been suggested that the old man is a father figure or, perhaps, that his vulture eye represents some sort of veiled secret. The ambiguity and lack of details about the two main characters stand in stark contrast to the specific plot details leading up to the murder.The story was first published in James Russell Lowell's The Pioneer in January 1843. "The Tell-Tale Heart" is widely considered a classic of the Gothic fiction genre and one of Poe's most famous short stories.

The Game with Mr. X - Sexy erotica (EN)
I got a text message. I shouldn't have looked at all. I grabbed my phone to switch off the sound ahead of time so it wouldn’t disturb the meeting. But of course, I couldn't help checking the message: "No other women can be as wet and as tight as you. Painful how much my body misses yours. P. " That's not the kind of text you should receive right before stepping into an important meeting with your boss.

Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet
'The monk who taught the world mindfulness' Time
In this masterful work, one of the most revered spiritual leaders in the world today shares his wisdom on how to be the change we want to see in the world.
In these troubling times we all yearn for a better world. But many of us feel powerless and uncertain what we can do. Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) is blazingly clear: there's one thing that we have the power to change-and which can make all the difference: our mind. How we see and think about things determines all the choices we make, the everyday actions we take (or avoid), how we relate to those we love (or oppose), and how we react in a crisis or when things don't go our way.
Filled with powerful examples of engaged action he himself has undertaken, inspiring Buddhist parables, and accessible daily meditations, this powerful spiritual guide offers us a path forward, opening us to the possibilities of change and how we can contribute to the collective awakening and environmental revolution our fractured world so desperately needs.

Mushroom at the End of the World
What a rare mushroom can teach us about sustaining life on a fragile planet
Matsutake is the most valuable mushroom in the world-and a weed that grows in human-disturbed forests across the northern hemisphere. Through its ability to nurture trees, matsutake helps forests to grow in daunting places. It is also an edible delicacy in Japan, where it sometimes commands astronomical prices. In all its contradictions, matsutake offers insights into areas far beyond just mushrooms and addresses a crucial question: what manages to live in the ruins we have made?
A tale of diversity within our damaged landscapes, The Mushroom at the End of the World follows one of the strangest commodity chains of our times to explore the unexpected corners of capitalism. Here, we witness the varied and peculiar worlds of matsutake commerce: the worlds of Japanese gourmets, capitalist traders, Hmong jungle fighters, industrial forests, Yi Chinese goat herders, Finnish nature guides, and more. These companions also lead us into fungal ecologies and forest histories to better understand the promise of cohabitation in a time of massive human destruction.
By investigating one of the world's most sought-after fungi, The Mushroom at the End of the World presents an original examination into the relation between capitalist destruction and collaborative survival within multispecies landscapes, the prerequisite for continuing life on earth.

Petra Kvitová Neuvěřitelný příběh
Začínáte číst velký a silný příběh, jak se obyčejná holka ze slezského městečka Fulneku stala z neznámé tenisové Popelky bílou královnou, a dnes platí za uznávanou globální hvězdu, která ovšem musela překonat nejednu těžkou překážku a jednou také dokázala zvítězit sama nad sebou. Ano, je to až neuvěřitelné, Petra Kvitová je celých deset let na špičce světového tenisu a dnes v celém světě respektovanou celebritou. Jak je možné, že děvče, které začalo s tenisem až ve čtrnácti letech, ušlo do svých současných devětadvaceti let tak významnou cestu. Tajemství tkví především v dobré rodině a vlastní tvrdé práci.
Petra už ve svých jedenadvaceti ovládne rok 2011, když po vítězství nad Marií Šarapovovou získá titul ve Wimbledonu a stejně dominuje na Turnaji mistryň v Istanbulu. Rovněž vyhraje dalších pět prestižních turnajů a pak ještě dovede Česko k výhře ve Fed Cupu nad Ruskami, úžasnou sezonu končí jako světová dvojka. Do dějin tenisu se opětovně zapíše, když v roce 2014 dobyde Wimbledon po vítězství nad Kanaďankou Eugenií Bouchardovou podruhé.
„Vítězství ve Wimbledonu a Fed Cupu jsou pro mě nejvíc.“
Zařadí se tak hned za nejlepší českou tenistku Martinu Navrátilovou, ostatně Petra s 26 tituly (!) triumfy na velkých turnajích, na nichž vyhrála přes 500 zápasů, kráčí ve šlépějích svého vzoru.
Velkého úspěchu dosáhne pro Česko i na olympiádě v Riu 2016, kde se po výhře nad Američankou Madison Keysovou raduje z bronzu. Petra se touží opět přiblížit k samotnému vrcholu a dobýt nějaký grandslam. Sny, které má nablízku, však těsně před Vánocemi 2016 přetrhne brutální napadení a vážně poranění skvělé levé ruky, Petřina zlatého nástroje. Zprvu není vůbec jisté, zda ještě bude moci hrát vrcholový tenis. Petra se však, pomalu zázračně, dokáže rychle zotavit a vrátit a už v červnu 2017 slaví v Birminghamu svůj dvacátý titul, na okruhu pak přidává dalších šest a také finále na grandslamu v Melbourne 2019. Petra je opět mezi nejlepšími pěti hráčkami světa a chce útočit dál a výš.
„Spíš než na zázraky věřím sama v sebe,“ řekla po návratu.
Petra je rovněž vynikající týmovou hráčkou. Má velkou zásluhu na skutečnosti, že se Češky během osmi staly šestkrát šampionkami Fed Cupu. Nejprve v roce 2011 po vítězném finále nad Ruskami a 2012 nad Srbskem, následně třikrát v řadě 2014 až 2016, kdy zdolaly silnou Francii, a naposledy v 2018, když porazily Spojené státy. Je nepochybné, že s Petrou a Karolínou Plíškovou máme nejlepší ženský tenisový tým na světě!
Knížka není jen portrétem mladé sportovní hvězdy a obrazem její mimořádné cesty, ale také reálným a těžce vydřeným hollywoodským snem narozeným v Česku a pak na všech významných tenisových kolbištích světa. Fanynky a fanoušci a také všechny obyčejné holky, rodiče, čtěte recept na nebeský úspěch i pozemskou slávu, k nimž vedly velká píle, pokora a skromnost a také neuvěřitelná statečnost.

The Four White Days
Fred M. White published this fictional story in 1903 about London in the grip of a severe 4-day arctic snow-storm, showing the hardships and consequences for which the city was unprepared, including price gouging and angry mobs.Actually, the "The history of British winters" page at www.netweather.tv shows many severe winters, including this dramatic entry: "25th December 1836, roads impassable, snow depths reached a staggering 5-15 feet in many places, and most astonishingly, drifts of 20-50 feet!" That entry doesn't say where in Great Britain those snowfalls occurred, but this one mentions London: "1885-1886: Snow fell in October, November, December, January, February, March, April and May! London recorded 1ft of snow in 7 hours in early January." Generally in the record, a snowfall of 6 to 12 inches in London would be considered unusually severe. Compare that with the snowfall described in this story.First published in Pearson's Magazine, January 1903 with illustrations by Warwick Goble. Reprinted in Science Fiction By The Rivals Of H.G. Wells, Castle Books, 1979.

With his assistant Melia at his side, he leaves for an academy in a foreign kingdom, where he is treated as a deviant by his peers.It’s his own fault, mind you—his stubborn insistance on wearing a custom, all-black uniform makes him stick out. He isn’t the only outcast in his class: Alicia, born into the Clan of Light but unable to use anything but fire magic, faces similar struggles, and the two quickly become allies.Alicia proposes that they enter the labyrinth below the school in search of a holy sword, but Sain has other plans in mind: a doom sword. And so, with his friends in tow, Sain ventures into the perilous unknown, driven by a wish to become the coolest, edgiest, most awesome thing in existence: a Dark Knight.There’s just one problem. He can’t use dark magic. Like, at all.

Tales of Terror from the Black Ship
At the Old Inn, which clings precariously to a cliff top above a storm-lashed ocean, two sick children are left alone while their father fetches the doctor. Then a visitor comes begging for shelter, and so begins a long night of storytelling, in which young Ethan and Cathy, who have an unnatural appetite for stories of a macabre persuasion, sit out the last throes of the storm in the company of a sailor with more than enough grisly tales to satisfy them. But something about this sailor puts Ethan on edge, and he becomes increasingly agitated for his father's return. Only when the storm blows itself out can Ethan relax - but not for long, for the new dawn opens the children's eyes to a truth more shocking, more distressing than anything they heard the night before.
