The New Testament, King James Version
The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.In most of the world the Authorized Version has passed out of copyright and is freely reproduced. This is not the case in the United Kingdom where the rights to the Authorized Version are held by the British Crown under perpetual Crown copyright. [Source: Wikipedia]

Told by the Death's Head
The hero of our romantic narrative, or better, narratives, was a constable. Not one of that useful class appointed, in our day, to direct the vehicles which pass over the two approaches to the suspension-bridge in Budapest; rather, he was the chief of a body whose task it is to provoke disturbance, who win all the more praise and glory the greater the havoc and destruction they create. In a word: he was a gunner.
The chronicle of his exploits gives only his Christian name, which was "Hugo."
In the year 1688, when the French beleaguered Coblentz, Hugo had charge of the battery in the outermost tower of Ehrenbreitstein fortress—the "Montalembert Tower."
Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein are opposite one another on the banks of the Rhine, as are Pesth and Ofen; and the Blocksberg looks down on us, as does the citadel of Ehrenbreitstein on Coblentz.
The city, which is strongly fortified on all sides, had become accustomed to being beleaguered—now by the French, now by the Prussians; today by the Austrians, tomorrow by the Swedes.
On the occasion of which I write, Coblentz was under a terrible fire from the French guns, which created great havoc in that portion of the city known as the "Old Town."

Wasting Time on the Internet
Using clear, readable prose, conceptual artist and poet Kenneth Goldsmith's manifesto shows how our time on the internet is not really wasted but is quite productive and creative as he puts the experience in its proper theoretical and philosophical context. Kenneth Goldsmith wants you to rethink the internet. Many people feel guilty after spending hours watching cat videos or clicking link after link after link.
But Goldsmith sees that "wasted" time differently. Unlike old media, the internet demands active engagement-and it's actually making us more social, more creative, even more productive. When Goldsmith, a renowned conceptual artist and poet, introduced a class at the University of Pennsylvania called "Wasting Time on the Internet", he nearly broke the internet.
The New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Vice, Time, CNN, the Telegraph, and many more, ran articles expressing their shock, dismay, and, ultimately, their curiosity. Goldsmith's ideas struck a nerve, because they are brilliantly subversive-and endlessly shareable. In Wasting Time on the Internet, Goldsmith expands upon his provocative insights, contending that our digital lives are remaking human experience.
When we're "wasting time," we're actually creating a culture of collaboration. We're reading and writing more-and quite differently. And we're turning concepts of authority and authenticity upside-down.
The internet puts us in a state between deep focus and subconscious flow, a state that Goldsmith argues is ideal for creativity. Where that creativity takes us will be one of the stories of the twenty-first century. Wide-ranging, counterintuitive, engrossing, unpredictable-like the internet itself-Wasting Time on the Internet is the manifesto you didn't know you needed.
The Crystal Stopper
A detective yarn that is a corker. Arsene Lupin in the greatest predicament of his career. Instead of the old masterful conqueror of men and circumstances against tremendous odds, we find him, until almost the final chapter, pitted against foemen worthy of his steel, who outwit him time and time again and involve him in a struggle for his very life!

The Chattertooth Eleven
Dnes už klasická povídka Eduarda Basse z roku 1922 vychází nyní i v anglickém překladu. Autorkou dodnes aktuálního převodu, který se vyznačuje tvůrčím a hravým přístupem k Bassovu jazyku a zároveň věrností stylu originálu a době, v níž vznikl, je Ruby Hobling, předmluvu napsal Mark Corner. Jedno z nejslavnějších děl české prózy vypráví příběh otce Klapzuby, který ze svých jedenácti synů vychová fenomenální fotbalový tým. Můžeme jej číst jako oslavu ducha fair play, houževnatosti a sportovního nadšení i jako dobově aktuální hříčku, lehce ironizující opojení českou kopanou. Anglické vydání navazuje na českou verzi v grafickém provedení Zdeňka Zieglera a s poutavými barevnými ilustracemi Jiřího Gruse, která získala v roce 2008 na 18. Podzimním knižním veletrhu v Havlíčkově Brodě ocenění za Nejkrásnější knihu v oblasti beletrie.

The Pied Piper
Básník, prozaik, dramatik a publicista Viktor Dyk se v této novele (časopisecky 1911–1912, knižně 1915) inspiroval starou saskou pověstí, již použil jako volný rámec pro vyprávění o tajemném poutníkovi, který na žádost občanů očistí svou píšťalou hanzovní město Hammeln od krys, avšak rozčarován malodušností konšelů a zrazen v lásce, zneužije píšťaly a odvede za trest celé město do zkázy. Protipólem postavy krysaře, osudově formovaného hrdiny, osamělého a neklidného snivce ztělesňujícího svět buřičů, je v knize rybář Sepp Jörgen, jenž se s realitou smiřuje a záchranou kojence dá vyrůst nové naději. Dyk v této novele, jež odráží novoklasicistní směřování jeho pozdní tvorby, tak dokázal využít staré předlohy k vytvoření svrchovaného prozaického díla o konfliktu iluze a skutečnosti. Jeho tajuplná atmosféra předznamenává pozdější baladickou prózu 30. let.

Behind the Lines
V roce 1921, několik měsíců předtím, než Jaroslav Hašek začal psát Osudy dobrého vojáka Švejka, popisuje v cyklu Velitelem města Bugulmy své životní zkušenosti s revolučním Ruskem. Obdobným způsobem, jakým se ve svých povídkách vysmíval předválečné C. a K. monarchii, zachycuje bývalý rudý komisař Hašek bolševickou revoluci. Před čtenářem se tak odehrává úsměvný příběh, v němž, v zapomenutém tatarském městečku Bugulma, vystupuje sovětský velitel tverského revolučního pluku, opilec Jerochymov a velitel města tovaryš Gašek. Skrze humor a nadsázku Hašek ukazuje jednak fanatismus revoluční doby, kdy v nešťastném roce 1918 se náhle vše "vymklo z kloubů", a jednak hloupost či prostou lidskou nejistotu nových vládců. Autobiografcký cyklus Velitelem města Bugulmy je dále doplněn o další Haškovy povídky z té doby.

Gerulata: The Lamps
Římské lampy byly charakteristickou formou vnitřního osvětlení. Díky reliéfním dekoracím se staly přitažlivými exponáty drobného umění v moderních sbírkách. V antickém světe však znamenaly mnohem víc — s distribuční sítí klenoucí se přes tři kontinenty, vyráběny zástupem výrobců pod řadou značek, s náboženským významem při uctívaní božstev a při posmrtném ritu i jako symbol vzdělání a studia nám umožňují objevovat antickou ekonomiku, kulturu, organizaci řemesla a běžný život v římských provinciích.
Publikace obsahuje rozsáhlý soupis 210 antických lamp z římského tábora Gerulata a přilehlého civilního osídlení. Lampy byly získány během archeologických výzkumů od roku 1961 až po dnešek v prostorech domů, pohřebišť, vojenských stavení a v opevnění římské tvrze na dunajském limitu, pocházejí z časového rozpětí od r. 80 do r. 350 po Kristu. Poprvé jsou nyní publikovány v jediném celku, barevně a s detailní analýzou typů, výrobních značek a ikonografie.

The Einstein Theory of Relativity
Whether it is true or not that not more than twelve persons in all the world are able to understand Einstein's Theory, it is nevertheless a fact that there is a constant demand for information about this much-debated topic of relativity. The books published on the subject are so technical that only a person trained in pure physics and higher mathematics is able to fully understand them. In order to make a popular explanation of this far-reaching theory available, the present book is published.

Lacná kniha Dva kavalíři z Verony - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Dva kavalíři z Verony patří k Shakespearovým raným komediím. Hra vnikla někdy v letech 1590-1594. Má se za to, že byla napsána až po Komedii omylů a Zkrocení zlé ženy, ale s ohledem na jistou jednoduchost výstupů, v nichž se v převážné míře střídají monology či promluvy stranou jedné osoby s dialogy dvou postav, ji někteří pokládají za vůbec první Shakespearovou hru.
