Logical Family - A Memoir
In this funny, poignant and unflinchingly honest memoir, one of the world's best-loved storytellers explains how he evolved from a conservative son of the Old South into a gay rights pioneer whose novels inspired millions to claim their own lives. It is a journey that leads him from the racism and misogyny of mid-century North Carolina to a homoerotic Navy initiation ceremony in the jungles of Vietnam to an awkward conversation about girls with President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office of the White House. After losing his virginity to another man 'on the very spot where the first shots of the Civil War were fired', Maupin packs his earthly belongings into his Opel GT (including a portrait of a Confederate ancestor) and heads west to that strangest of strange lands: San Francisco in the early 1970's.

Ptáci - audiokniha
Známý hororový příběh v poutavém podání Jana Hartla. V prosinci udeřily obrovské mrazy a ty zahnaly hladové ptáky blíže k lidem. Jejich vrozený odstup byl náhle pryč a opeřenci se začali vrhat na lidi. V noci zaútočili také na dům Nata Hockena i jeho rodinu a málem připravili jeho děti o oči. Druhý den se rodina z rádia dozvěděla, že problémy s ptáky jsou po celé zemi. Nat začal zabezpečovat dům a sledoval chování ptáků. Zjistil, že se při odlivu stahují k moři a útočí pak s přílivem. Nat se vydal pro pomoc k přátelům. Ti ale byli uklováni stejně jako celé rodiny z nové zástavby, takže Nat pochopil, že jsou zcela izolováni. Přestože jim docházely zásoby, všichni věřili, že přežijí…. Daphne du Maurier. Britská prozaička a dramatička (žila v letech 1907–89), se narodila v Londýně. Proslavil ji román Živá a mrtvá (Rebecca), který vyšel tiskem poprvé v roce 1938. Díky němu se stala jednou z nejpopulárnějších a nejprodávanějších spisovatelek na světě. Všech 15 románů, které napsala, se stalo bestsellery a některé z nich byly i úspěšně zfilmovány. To platí i o hrůzostrašném příběhu PTÁCI, který se stal předlohou fascinujícího filmu Alfréda Hitchcoka. Od roku 1977 již nepublikovala a žila až do smrti v ústraní v poklidném Cornwallu, kde také 19.4.1989 zemřela.

Mária Terézia - 2.vydanie
Matka šestnástich detí, milujúca manželka, láskavá matka národa, šikovná politička a mierumilovná vládkyňa - to je obraz Márie Terézie, ako ju plný obdivu voči tejto nezvyčajnej žene opisuje Heinz Rieder. Mladučká, nič netušiaca a na vládu nepripravená nastupuje Mária Terézia 20. októbra 1740 na trón. Nikto neverí, že táto živá, zápalistá dievčina zvládne štátnické záležitosti znútra i zvonku ohrozovaného Rakúska. No Mária Terézia sa chopí tejto úlohy a vďaka neoblomnej silnej vôli a šarmu sa jej podarí neuveriteľné: zreformuje starý administratívny, vojenský a vzdelávací systém v ríši a pomocou šikovnej diplomacie a sobášnej politiky stabilizuje pozíciu svojej krajiny na mape Európy. Dokonca aj jej veľký protivník, pruský kráľ Fridrich Veľký jej vzdáva po smrti nezvyčajný hold: `Urobila svojmu trónu a pohlaviu veľkú česť.`

Theodore de Bry. America
When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was, for most Europeans, truly novel. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry's magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic.
From "Virginia" (today's North Carolina) and Florida through Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter's perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and native American customs were based on the explorers' reports as well as De Bry's own imagination, he himself never having traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John White and Jacques Le Moyne, whose original watercolors he adapted for the opening two volumes. With his sons, De Bry formed a family enterprise known for exquisite copper engravings and high-quality illustrations unrivaled in their mastery.
The legacy of America is profound, coloring Europe's earliest visions of the Atlantic world. Countless European illustrations would, throughout the following centuries, draw inspiration from the spectacular collection. TASCHEN's edition pays homage to De Bry's finesse, reprinting all 218 plates from the first nine volumes alongside their respective frontispieces and continental maps. Volumes I to VI are based on the original hand-colored editions held at the John Hay and John Carter Brown Libraries at Brown University in Providence; volumes VII to IX are from the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg, Germany.Exceptionally rare even at the time of their completion, De Bry's hand-colored America can finally be admired by all, in XXL resolution.
