Brood of the Witch-Queen
There was sincerity in the appeal, spoken in the softest, most silvern tone which he had ever heard. He stood beside the veiled woman, and met the glance of her dark eyes with a consciousness of some magnetic force in the glance which seemed to set his nerves quivering.

Ako som sa naučil rozumieť svetu
Hlboko ľudské a objavné postrehy o živote na našej planéte bez akýchkoľvek predsudkov predstavujú len jeden aspekt knihy Ako som sa naučil rozumieť svetu. Popritom sledujeme celoživotnú púť lekára, vedca, humanistu a otca rodiny, ktorý aj v pokročilom veku neváhal skúmať príčiny rôznych epidémií priamo v centrách ich výskytu.
Rosling si uvedomuje, že pokrok a blahobyt posledných desaťročí prichádzali len pozvoľna s každou novou generáciou a vyšším vzdelaním. Sám načrel aj do vlastného rodokmeňa a priznal sa, že jeho prastarí rodičia pri čítaní len slabikovali, babička prala v cementovej výlevke a otec sa ostýchal vkročiť do moderného hypermarketu. A to hovoríme o Švédsku dvadsiateho storočia.
Boli to predovšetkým fakty, ktoré pomohli Roslingovi vysvetliť, ako funguje svet. A ešte zvedavosť a odhodlanie. Hans v knihe rozpráva, ako sa stal mysliteľom, a približuje svoju celoživotnú cestu z pohotovostnej kliniky v Mozambiku na Svetové ekonomické fórum v Davose. S hlbokou ľudskosťou a radosťou rozpráva príbehy, ktoré s rovnakou radosťou počúval celý svet.

The Wheels of Chance
Although H. G. Wells is best known for his science fiction stories he wrote in many genres including history, and social commentaries. The Wheels of Chance was written when the bicycle was beginning to become very popular (1890 -1905) and saw bicycles becoming a part of social changes in England. People could move quickly and rigid class structure was beginning to crumble. This is the story of a down-on-his-luck draper's assistant who takes a second-hand bicycle on a tour through the English countryside. He meets a young woman on the run from her seducer in addition to a string of other amusing characters..

Cameron Hanes objavil v sebe vášeň pre lov lukom a šípmi, keď mal dvadsať. Cesta jeho osobného rozvoja a sebazdokonaľovania sa začala zdolávaním náročných výziev, ako sú výkyvy počasia, nevyspytateľné šelmy, neschodný horský terén. Uvedomil si, že ak chce majstrovsky loviť lukom divé losy, musí sa zlepšiť v lukostreľbe. Dostatočnú energiu a silu získal vzpieraním a v tréningovom programe bežcov na dlhé trate. Odvtedy už viac ako tridsať rokov zdoláva bežecké kilometre, pestuje si svaly a prekonáva bolesť s jediným
cieľom: neprestajne sa zlepšovať a posúvať osobné hranice.
Vydržať je sčasti životopis, sčasti motivačný manifest obyčajného neobyčajného muža, loveckého experta, rešpektovaného spisovateľa a rodinne založeného manžela, ktorý si vďaka disciplíne, obetavosti, prispôsobivosti, vysokej pracovnej morálke a viere vo svoje schopnosti nielen plní sny, ale neustále ich prekonáva. Za jeho úspechmi sa neskrýva nijaké záhadné tajomstvo, iba neoblomné odhodlanie a vernosť vlastným hodnotám.
Ak to dokáže Cameron Hanes, dokážeme to všetci. Každý z nás vie prekonať nepriazeň osudu, neuspokojiť sa so šedým priemerom a vychutnávať si život naplno. Tak do toho, a vydržať!

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath
Randolph Carter dreams three times of a majestic sunset city, but each time he is abruptly snatched away before he can see it up close. When he prays to the gods of dream to reveal the whereabouts of the phantasmal city, they do not answer, and his dreams of the city stop altogether.

The Lust of Hate
In this the third of Boothby's Dr. Nikola novels, Nikola applies his almost hypnotic persuasion to convince an out-of-luck Australian, formerly from England, named Gilbert Pennethorne to assist Nikola unwittingly in an evil scheme. Nikola takes advantage of Pennethorne's intense desire for revenge against a former boss in Australia who stole information about the location of a gold field that would have made Pennethorne immensely wealthy. Using that information the boss made himself rich, living a high life in London, while Pennethorne remained penniless. Nikola contrives a plan and a device for Pennethorne to commit the perfect murder of the wealthy thief. Unknowingly, Pennethorne thus becomes a party to another one of Nikola's insidious schemes.

The Age of Shakespeare
'The greatest literary scholar of his generation' (Independent) explains how the history of the Elizabethan era is the backdrop to William Shakespeare and his plays.
Shakespeare made his unique contribution to British and world culture in the midst of Elizabeth's great reign.
Here, the circumstances of each play's composition are acutely described, and set within a masterful portrait of Shakespeare's England - its early capitalism, its court, its bursting population, and its epidemics, as well as its arts - including, of course, its theatre.
An important, lasting, and concise companion to Shakespeare's time.
The Tree of Life

Prehra
Mnohí tušili, iní predpokladali alebo vedeli, že sa k niečomu schyľuje. Na Východe nastal pohyb, ktorý Západ intenzívne sledoval a podporoval. V tomto zaujímavom čase prichádza Guliver na pozvanie Voloďu, svojho najbližšieho priateľa z leningradských štúdií, na Kaukaz. Voloďa strávil dva roky pod Elbrusom so zvláštnym poslaním, sledujúc pašerákov, ktorí od nepamäti križovali so zakázaným tovarom nebezpečné serpentíny veľhôr.
Obaja, Voloďa aj Guliver, sú výborní lyžiari, a tak sa vyberú na kaukazský freeride, dobrodružstvo sa však skončí odchytením a uväznením Gulivera na neznámom mieste. Na oslobodení Gulivera sa podieľajú nielen miestni horali, ale aj jednotky KGB, keď si v spravodajských službách uvedomia, že sa tu hrá celkom iná hra, ako sprvoti mysleli.
Prehra je prvým slovenským špionážnym románom, ktorý vykresľuje obdobie pred revolúciou vo východnom bloku a v Sovietskom zväze z vlastnej skúsenosti autora, ktorý v tom období študoval v Leningrade, ale všíma si aj opačný pohľad z Washingtonu, kde bol na študijnom pobyte. Guliver s Voloďom sa ocitajú uprostred búrlivých zmien, no hoci hľadajú predovšetkým lásku a pochopenie, ich osudy sa vplyvom spoločenských premien ešte viac komplikujú a zamotávajú.
