A gyalog - The Pawn
Gabriel Miller tornádóként söpört végig az életemen. Váratlanul, mindent elpusztított. Kíméletlen megtorlással állt bosszút az apámon, aki egy kórházi ágyon végezte, nincstelenül. Miatta a főiskolát is abbahagytam, hogy gondoskodjak róla, hiszen már csak ő maradt nekem. A családi házat is csak egy módon menthettem meg. Csupán egyetlen értékem maradt, a szüzességem, amit egy titkos aukción megvásároltak. Gabriel Miller mindenhol ott van. Mélyebb játszmát űz, mint gondolnám. Minden lépéssel közelebb kerülök hozzá, az érzékisége rabul ejt, miközben minden újabb titokkal darabokra tépi a lelkem. A végső játszma után biztos, hogy csak egyikőnk marad talpon.

Lacná kniha Nevěsta z Texasu (-70%)
Na stopy Čechů, kteří v letech 1861–1865 bojovali v americké občanské válce, narazil Josef Škvorecký víceméně náhodou, když v archivu Chicagské univerzity hledal podklady k románu o Antonínu Dvořákovi Scherzo capriccioso. Příběhy krajanů, kteří se dobrovolně zapojili do války o budoucí podobu Nového světa, na něj silně zapůsobily a inspirovaly ho k úvahám o příštím románu. Sedm let věnoval studiu archivních pramenů: vedle politicko-historických i vojenských okolností a peripetií války Severu proti Jihu se však snažil porozumět především denní rutině a běžným radostem a strastem tehdejších vojáků i civilistů, zkrátka najít otisky jejich skutečného života, které se z odborných pojednání zpravidla vytrácejí. Tak vznikla Nevěsta z Texasu, román nejen válečný, ale také milostný, dobrodružný, politický, společenský, místy dokonce humoristický – a samozřejmě také historický. Román o desítkách lidských osudů, který nelze jen číst, ale do něhož je třeba se ponořit a nechat se jím unést. Román, ve kterém nenajdeme jen jeden z mnoha příběhů o americké občanské válce, ale především – jako ve všech knihách Josefa Škvoreckého – hlubokou lidskou zkušenost.

Gerulata: The Lamps
Římské lampy byly charakteristickou formou vnitřního osvětlení. Díky reliéfním dekoracím se staly přitažlivými exponáty drobného umění v moderních sbírkách. V antickém světe však znamenaly mnohem víc — s distribuční sítí klenoucí se přes tři kontinenty, vyráběny zástupem výrobců pod řadou značek, s náboženským významem při uctívaní božstev a při posmrtném ritu i jako symbol vzdělání a studia nám umožňují objevovat antickou ekonomiku, kulturu, organizaci řemesla a běžný život v římských provinciích.
Publikace obsahuje rozsáhlý soupis 210 antických lamp z římského tábora Gerulata a přilehlého civilního osídlení. Lampy byly získány během archeologických výzkumů od roku 1961 až po dnešek v prostorech domů, pohřebišť, vojenských stavení a v opevnění římské tvrze na dunajském limitu, pocházejí z časového rozpětí od r. 80 do r. 350 po Kristu. Poprvé jsou nyní publikovány v jediném celku, barevně a s detailní analýzou typů, výrobních značek a ikonografie.
