The Price of Time
All economic and financial activities take place across time. Interest coordinates these activities. The story of capitalism is thus the story of interest: the price that individuals, companies and nations pay to borrow money.
In The Price of Time, Edward Chancellor traces the history of interest from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia, through debates about usury in Restoration Britain and John Law ' s ill-fated Mississippi scheme, to the global credit booms of the twenty-first century. We generally assume that high interest rates are harmful, but Chancellor argues that, whenever money is too easy, financial markets become unstable. He takes the story to the present day, when interest rates have sunk lower than at any time in the five millennia since they were first recorded - including the extraordinary appearance of negative rates in Europe and Japan - and highlights how this has contributed to profound economic insecurity and financial fragility.
Chancellor reveals how extremely low interest rates not only create asset price inflation but are also largely responsible for weak economic growth, rising inequality, zombie companies, elevated debt levels and the pensions crises that have afflicted the West in recent years - conditions under which economies cannot possibly thrive. At the same time, easy money in China has inflated an epic real estate bubble, accompanied by the greatest credit and investment boom in history. As the global financial system edges closer to yet another crisis, Chancellor shows that only by understanding interest can we hope to face the challenges ahead.

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.

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.

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.

Beneath the Lions Gaze
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974 - the eve of a revolution.
Yonas kneels in his mother's prayer room, pleading to his god for an end to the violence that has wracked his family and country. His father, Hailu, a prominent doctor, has been ordered to report to jail after helping a victim of state-sanctioned torture to die.
And Dawit, Hailu's youngest son, has joined an underground resistance movement-a choice that will lead to more upheaval and bloodshed across a ravaged Ethiopia.
Emotionally gripping, poetic and indelibly tragic, Beneath the Lion's Gaze is a transcendent story that tells a gripping story of family and of the bonds of love and friendship. It is a story about the lengths to which human beings will go in pursuit of freedom and the human price of a national revolution.
The Gringo Guide To Moving To Mexico
Living The Mexican Dream!!
Imagine living in a place where your dollars are worth almost 20 times more than in the US, but that is also modern and close enough so you'll never feel homesick.
A place with beautiful beaches, tasty food, affordable housing and healthcare.
A place where the locals are friendly and there's always something fun to do.
If you strive for living a laidback lifestyle, in place rich with folklore and culture where you can also learn some Spanish on the go, then Mexico is the right place for you.
My name is Raúl Jiménez (Yes, like the player from the Mexican national soccer team), writer of the Amazon best seller on Mexican slang "MEXISLANG", and also an online Spanish teacher who has taught over 200 students from all over the world, including Gabriel Wyner, the writer and founder of "Fluent Forever".
I've been teaching online for more than 3 years, and during this time, I've noticed how many people were learning Spanish to travel to Mexico and Latin America, and besides language questions, I always got a lot about what places were the best to visit, or what kind of documents people needed if they wanted to stay here; because of this, I started writing this book.
This book is made for people who:
Want to know the process and documentation necessary to become a temporary or permanent resident of Mexico.
Want to know your money's worth and the general cost of living in Mexico.
Want to know about safety from the drug war and the most expat friendly places in Mexico.

Far from the Madding Crowd
Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to apply the name of Wessex to the landscape of south-west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. When the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene inherits her own farm, she attracts three very different suitors; the seemingly commonplace man-of-the-soil Gabriel Oak, the dashing young soldier Francis Troy, and the respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. Her choice, and the tragedy it provokes, lie at the centre of Hardy's ambivalent story.

The Kingdom of Sand
Out in the drought-struck backwaters of rural Florida, The Kingdom of Sand's nameless narrator lives a life of semi-solitude, enjoying the odd, fleeting sexual encounter and the friendship of a few.
His world is ageing, and the memories of another time flash, then fade - visions of parties filled with handsome young men, the parents whom he chose to spend his life besides, the generation he once knew, struck down by AIDS. But, when forced to watch the slow demise of a close neighbour, he is drawn back to the here and now, and his own borrowed time in this kingdom of sand.
An elegy to sex and the body, but also a tragically honest exploration of loneliness and the endless need for human connection, The Kingdom of Sand marks the much-anticipated return of Andrew Holleran.

I'll look up the train, settle up with these hotel folk, and we'll be off. You give your attention to your packing, Miss Lennard, and leave the rest to me--you won't mind travelling the night?"

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.
