Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.

As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.
Bulgaria and Hungary in the First World War: A view from the 21st Century
This volume contains essays on the diplomatic and military relations between Austria-Hungary and Bulgaria in the First World War including their alliance politics towards other states and their aspirations on the Balkan Peninsula. The volume grew out of the presentations at the 2015 conference of the Bulgarian-Hungarian History Commission held in Sofia; a large portion of these studies represent attempts to transcend the politics of national grievance and self-victimization, and to avoid the canonization of national myths or the deflection of responsibility. At the same time, authors of the studies try to emphasize the alternatives the politicians of the period could have chosen, and how and why certain figures might bear responsibility for particular outcomes.

Zrcadlová četba - Crime and Punishment (B1-B2)
This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského. Spisovatel sám jej charakterizoval jako psychologický záznam jednoho zločinu. Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov je chudý student, který byl z finančních důvodů nucen zanechat studia na univerzitě. Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, ne-li dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků. Tento příběh však není o zločinu...

Women Who Run with Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls "psychic archeological digs" into the bins of the female unconscious. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Dr. Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. "La Loba" teaches about the transformative function of the psyche. In "Bluebeard," we learn what to do with wounds that will not heal; in "Skeleton Woman," we glimpse the mystical power of relationship and how dead feelings can be revived; "Vasalisa the Wise" brings our lost womanly instincts to the surface again; "The Handless Maiden" recovers the Wild Woman initiation rites; and "The Little Match Girl" warns against the insidious dangers of a life spent in fantasy. In these and other stories, we focus on the many qualities of Wild Woman. We retrieve, examine, love, and understand her, and hold her against our deep psyches as one whois both magic and medicine. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Estes has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and lifegiving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

Ember Shadows and the Fates of Mount Never
In a land trapped by fate, only courage can re-write the future.
In the magical village of Everspring, everyone receives a fate card before their twelfth birthday, sent down from the mysterious Mount Never. It tells them their purpose, their profession and how old they'll be when they die.
Nearly 12-year-old Ember Shadows has always believed she is destined for great things. But when her fate card arrives, it's blank. What does that mean? Then, worse still, her sister's card decrees she will die before her next birthday. No way is Ember's going to let that happen.
Determined to challenge what - or who - is responsible for these cards, Ember sets off up the mountain, a place no one is allowed to go. She encounters forbidden realms full of magic, trickery and curious creatures. In a thrilling race through a magical landscape, Ember Shadows must uncover the secret behind the fate cards in order to save her sister ...
But will Ember like what she finds at the top of the mountain?
With hints of Alice in Wonderland, shades of The Phantom Tollbooth and echoes of Pixar's Inside Out, this a thrilling, warm-hearted race through magical realms, a classic magical adventure, beautifully illustrated throughout.

Miss Dobré naděje
Chce-li člověk něco říct k dnešnímu světu, zůstane rozpolcený. Polovina lidí v něm nachází beznaděj a druhá polovina ho velebí do nebes, jako by všechno, co bylo předtím, nestálo za zlámanou grešli. Je to stejné jako ve známém Žáčkově aforismu:
Ber život jako pírko v tom povětrném světě,
ber život jako pírko – a vichr odvane tě.
Ber život jako balvan v tom božském nedohlednu,
ber život jako balvan – a potopí tě ke dnu.
Jiřího Žáčka z této pustiny marnosti vysvobozuje Miss Dobré naděje, jeho láska – vždy znovuzrozená, pozemská a milující básníka.

Rokesby család 3: A másik Miss Bridgerton
A lány rossz helyen volt… A rendkívül független és kalandvágyó Poppy Bridgerton csak annak hajlandó nyújtani a kezét, aki felettébb intelligens, és érdeklődési köre legalább oly széles, mint az övé. Sajnálatos módon a londoni szezon egyetlen ifja sem felel meg ezeknek a követelményeknek. Mialatt Poppy egy dorseti barátnőjénél vendégeskedik, a parton sétálva kellemes meglepetésként éri, hogy csempésztanyát fedez fel az egyik barlangban. De örömét hamarosan riadalom váltja fel, amikor két kalóz elrabolja, egy hajó fedélzetére hurcolja, és megkötözve, száját betömve a kapitány ágyán hagyják… A férfi rosszkor talál rá… Andrew James Rokesby kapitány, a vakmerő kalóz valójában létfontosságú cikkeket és dokumentumokat szállít a brit kormánynak. Most is vitorlát készül bontani, hogy a dagálykor Portugália partjai felé induljon, amikor döbbenten látja, hogy a kabinjában egy nő várja.
Biztosan csak a képzelete játszik vele! De nem, a nő nagyon is valóságos –, s mivel a küldetése nem tűr halasztást, ez azt jelenti, hogy a nőt is magával kell vinnie… Kijöhet-e a két rosszból valami tökéletesen jó? Amikor Andrew megtudja, hogy a nő Bridgerton, az is világossá válik számára, hogy valószínűleg el kell vennie feleségül, hogy elkerüljék a botrányt… bár Poppynak fogalma sincs róla, hogy ő grófi sarj, és a lány kenti unokatestvéreinek szomszédja. A nyílt tengeren hajózva szócsatáik hamarosan részegítő szenvedélynek adják át helyüket.
De amikor kiderül Andrew titka, elég lesz-e a férfi szerelmi vallomása, hogy meghódítsa a lány szívét?
