Četba pro začátečníky - The Story of Doctor Dolittle (A1 - A2)
Doctor Dolittle is one of a kind. Just imagine – he can talk to animals! Using his amazing skill, he becomes a vet. His excellent reputation soon spreads in the animal kingdom. One day Doctor Dolittle receives a message from monkeys – they are very ill! Sailing off to Africa with his band of animal companions, Doctor Dolittle seeks to help all he can. Lets find out how they will handle fierce storms, vicious pirates and one angry king. Doktor Dolittle je výjimečný. Jen si to představte – umí mluvit se zvířaty! Své úžasné schopnosti využil k tomu, aby se stal zvěrolékařem. Jeho skvělá pověst se brzy roznese zvířecí říší. Jednoho dne dostane doktor Dolittle zprávu od opic – jsou velmi nemocné! A tak se doktor vydává lodí do Afriky i s partou zvířecích společníků, aby pomohl, jak nejlépe umí. Pojďme se podívat, jak si poradí s prudkými bouřemi, krutými piráty a jedním rozzlobeným králem.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
When the Knight Bus crashes through the darkness and screeches to a halt in front of him, it's the start of another far from ordinary year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter. Sirius Black, escaped mass-murderer and follower of Lord Voldemort, is on the run - and they say he is coming after Harry. In his first ever Divination class, Professor Trelawney sees an omen of death in Harry's tea leaves . But perhaps most terrifying of all are the Dementors patrolling the school grounds, with their soul-sucking kiss. These new editions of the classic and internationally bestselling, multi-award-winning series feature instantly pick-up-able new jackets by Jonny Duddle, with huge child appeal, to bring Harry Potter to the next generation of readers. It's time to PASS THE MAGIC ON .
The Flowers of Buffoonery
The Flowers of Buffoonery opens in a seaside sanatorium where Yozo Oba-the narrator of No Longer Human at a younger age-is being kept after a failed suicide attempt. While he is convalescing, his friends and family visit him, and other patients and nurses drift in and out of his room. Against this dispiriting backdrop, everyone tries to maintain a light-hearted, even clownish atmosphere: playing cards, smoking cigarettes, vying for attention, cracking jokes and trying to make each other laugh.
While No Longer Human delves into the darkest corners of human consciousness, The Flowers of Buffoonery pokes fun at these same emotions: the follies and hardships of youth, of love and of self-hatred and depression. A glimpse into the lives of a group of outsiders in pre-war Japan, The Flowers of Buffoonery is a darkly humorous and fresh addition to Osamu Dazai's masterful and intoxicating oeuvre.
The Fall of Numenor
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.
Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told.
Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, adhering to the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.

The Last Hours: Chain of Thorns
James and Cordelia must save London — and their marriage — in this thrilling and highly anticipated conclusion to The Last Hours series from the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Cassandra Clare. Chain of Thorns is a Shadowhunters novel.
Cordelia Carstairs has lost everything that matters to her.
In only a few short weeks, she has seen her father murdered, her plans to become parabatai with her best friend, Lucie, destroyed, and her marriage to James Herondale crumble before her eyes. Even worse, she is now bound to an ancient demon, Lilith, stripping her of her power as a Shadowhunter.
After fleeing to Paris with Matthew Fairchild, Cordelia hopes to forget her sorrows in the city’s glittering nightlife. But reality intrudes when shocking news comes from home: Tatiana Blackthorn has escaped the Adamant Citadel, and London is under new threat by the Prince of Hell, Belial.
Cordelia returns to a London riven by chaos and dissent. The long-kept secret that Belial is James and Lucie’s grandfather has been revealed by an unexpected enemy, and the Herondales find themselves under suspicion of dealings with demons. Cordelia longs to protect James, but is torn between a love for James she has long believed hopeless, and the possibility of a new life with Matthew. Nor can her friends help — ripped apart by their own secrets, they seem destined to face what is coming alone.
For time is short, and Belial’s plan is about to crash into the Shadowhunters of London like a deadly wave, one that will separate Cordelia, Lucie, and the Merry Thieves from help of any kind. Left alone in a shadowy London, they must face Belial’s deadly army. If Cordelia and her friends are going to save their city — and their families — they will have to muster their courage, swallow their pride, and trust one another again. For if they fail, they may lose everything — even their souls.

Banská Bystrica / Poézia svetla / The Poetry of Light
Za živa v Bystrici, po smrti v nebi.
Už po stáročia sa každé ráno prebúdza mesto do neopakovateľnej atmosféry. Prvé ranné slnečné lúče dopadajú na hrdo sa týčiace bystrické veže. Veže, ktoré dotvárajú kolorit Banskej Bystrice ako niekdajšieho starobylého baníckeho mesta. Mesta, ktoré žije svojou výnimočnosťou a dýcha históriou na každom rohu.
Zachovalé chrámy, veže, hradby a meštianske domy sú trvalým klenotom našich dejín. Príbehy z minulosti sú zaznamenané nielen v kamenných múroch budov. Cítiť ich pri prechádzkach tajomnými uličkami mesta, ktoré sa každý deň vynímajú v poézií svetla. Aj keď metropola stredného Slovenska prešla od svojho vzniku výraznými zmenami, svoje genius loci si zachovala dodnes.
Sugestívnym pohľadom na Banskú Bystricu, vyobrazenú na čiernobielych fotografiách, je snahou zachytiť memento dávnych čias cez hru svetla a tieňov až do dnešnej podoby. Aj keď stáročia poznačili vývoj a smerovanie osídlia pod Urpínom, dodnes je nasiaknuté svojou minulosťou.
Prevediem Vás nielen históriou, ale aj súčasnými náladami tohto jedinečného mesta v srdci Slovenska, ktoré si pre svoju krásu okamihu právom zaslúžilo označenie Perla Slovenska.

Rozhodně ne on
Jediné, co jsem si ke svým třicátým narozeninám přála, byla velkolepá a nezapomenutelná noc… Místo toho jsem se nechala zbouchnout svým šéfem.
No tak počkejte.
Než mě začnete soudit (já vás *vidím*), v té době jsem nevěděla, že je to můj šéf. Věděla jsem pouze to, že to byl ten nejpřitažlivější muž, kterého jsem kdy viděla, k tomu přidejte britský přízvuk a rty, které se na celé hodiny zmocnily mého těla.
Když pak ten mizera předpokládal, že si dáme další kolo poté, co označil můj byt mimo jiné za „krabici od sušenek“, vykopla jsem ho a doufala, že už ho nikdy znovu neuvidím.
To mi ovšem vydrželo jen čtyři týdny…
Tehdy jsem si totiž uvědomila, že mám ‚zpoždění‘ a dvacet různých těhotenských testů odhalilo skutečnost, jíž jsem nechtěla uvěřit.
A když jsem si myslela, že strávím další čtyři týdny tím, že ho budu hledat, objevil se v mé práci v dveřích, a nadřízený nám ho představil jako našeho nového generálního ředitele.
Tohle na celé té situace však není to nejhorší.
To ani omylem.
Ukázalo se totiž, že v noc, kdy jsme se setkali, mi ten muž něco zatajil, a dalších osm měsíců mě čekalo ještě víc komplikací, než bych si kdy dokázala představit…

Waterstones Children's Book Prize-winning authorNew York Times #1 bestselling authorThe award-winning author of The Hate U Give returns with a powerful story about hip hop, freedom of speech - and fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you. Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri's got massive shoes to fill.
But when her first song goes viral for all the wrong reasons, Bri finds herself at the centre of controversy and portrayed by the media as more menace than MC. And with an eviction notice staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it - she has to. Even if it means becoming the very thing the public has made her out to be.
