The Mysterious Card
(This has been called one of the two most famous riddle stories of all time, along with "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by Frank Stockton.)Burwell, a New Yorker in Paris, during intermission at the Folies Bergere, is inconspicuously given a card by a charming, elegant lady passing by his table with a gentleman. The card bore some French words written in purple ink. Not knowing that language, he was unable to make out the meaning. He returned at once to his hotel to inquire concerning the message on the card, where he asked the hotel manager to translate the roughly 20 words. As he read, the manager's face grew rigid with astonishment. He exclaimed: "Where did you get this, monsieur?"Burwell started to explain, but was interrupted by: "That will do, that will do. You must leave the hotel.""What do you mean?" asked Burwell, in amazement."You must leave the hotel, now--tonight--without fail!" commanded the manager, excitedly.At the next hotel, Burwell received the same reaction. Relentlessly pursuing the solution to the mystery of the card, he suffers a succession of unfortunate experiences. The story ends without a clear resolution, leaving the readers to ponder the mystery.The author revealed the solution to this puzzle in the sequel, "The Mysterious Card Unveiled," which he didn't publish until the next year, to keep his readers in suspense.(The sequel will also be found at Feedbooks soon after the first part has been published. Don't cheat -- guess a solution to the mystery before reading the sequel!)

Pokoř mě (Série Stark Trilogy 2)
Pro fanoušky Padesáti odstínů šedi a Obnažené přichází druhý román strhující erotické trilogie, jejímž prvním dílem bylo Odhal mě. V této sexy, emocemi nabité romanci pokračuje příběh Damiena Starka, mocného milionáře, který nikdy neslyšel „ne“, a Nikki Fairchildové, jižanské krásky, která říká „ano“, jen když se to hodí jí samotné. Pro Damiena byla naše posedlost pouhou hrou. Pro mě byla naprostou, oslepující realitou. Touha Damiena Starka byla hmatatelná – jeho touha po slasti, jeho touha po ovládání, jeho touha po mně. Byl krásný a chytrý, ale uvnitř plný bolesti – ve všech ohledech stejný jako já. Souhlasila jsem, že budu patřit pouze jemu, a teď jsem chtěla, aby i on byl pouze můj. Přála jsem si, bychom se odevzdali jeden druhému až na samu hranici naší sladké extáze, do nejhlubších tužeb našich duší. Dovolit žáru, který nás spojoval, aby nás zachvátil celé. Jenže Damien v sobě měl temná místa, do nichž nesměla nahlédnout ani naše nejdivočejší vášeň. Prahla jsem znát jeho tajemství, prahla jsem po tom, aby se mi vzdal stejně, jako jsem se vzdala já jemu. Naše problematická minulost nás však může víc spojit – nebo definitivně zničit.

The Maths of Life and Death
Maths is the story of the world around us, and the wisdom it gives us can be the difference between success and disaster.
We are all doing maths all the time, from the way we communicate with each other to the way we travel, from how we work to how we relax. Many of us are aware of this. But few of us really appreciate the full power of maths - the extent to which its influence is not only in every office and every home, but also in every courtroom and hospital ward.
In this eye-opening and extraordinary book, Yates explores the true stories of life-changing events in which the application - or misapplication - of mathematics has played a critical role: patients crippled by faulty genes and entrepreneurs bankrupted by faulty algorithms; innocent victims of miscarriages of justice and the unwitting victims of software glitches. We follow stories of investors who have lost fortunes and parents who have lost children, all because of mathematical misunderstandings.
Along the way, Yates arms us with simple mathematical rules and tools that can help us make better decisions in our increasingly quantitative society. You will discover why it's always sensible to question a statistic, often vital to ask for a second opinion and sometimes surprisingly handy to stick to the 37% rule...
"This is an exquisitely interesting book. It's a deeply serious one too and, for those like me who have little maths, it's delightfully readable" - IAN MCEWAN
"Kit Yates is a natural storyteller. Through fascinating stories and examples, he shows how maths is the beating heart of so much of modern life. An exciting new voice in the world of science communication" - MARCUS DU SAUTOY
"Used wisely, mathematics can save your life. Used unwisely, it can ruin it. A lucid and enthralling account of why maths matters in everyone's life. A real eye-opener." - Prof Ian Stewart FRS, author of Do Dice Play God?

The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont
The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont (1906) brings together tales of the multifarious exploits of Robert Barr's elegant and cunning sleuth, Valmont, a brilliantly ironic parody of Sherlock Holmes. Exhibiting the crucial combination of realism and imagination that characterizes the finest crime writing, the stories exude playfulness and blend mystery and quasi-Gothic thrills with humorous detours and romantic adventure. A notable figure in 1890s literary London and a friend of Conan Doyle, Barr was acutely aware of style as a form of statement and the stories are full of literary effects, commentary on the detective mystery genre, and Valmont's disparaging reflections on English values.

The Man Who Was Afraid
OUT of the darkest depths of life, where vice and crime and misery abound, comes the Byron of the twentieth century, the poet of the vagabond and the proletariat, Maxim Gorky. Not like the beggar, humbly imploring for a crust in the name of the Lord, nor like the jeweller displaying his precious stones to dazzle and tempt the eye, he comes to the world,—nay, in accents of Tyrtaeus this commoner of Nizhni Novgorod spurs on his troops of freedom-loving heroes to conquer, as it were, the placid, self-satisfied literatures of to-day, and bring new life to pale, bloodless frames.

The Noblemans Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks
Return to the enchanting world of the Montague siblings in the finale to the New York Times bestselling and Stonewall Honor-winning series, featuring a teenage Adrian Montague as he desperately seeks the now adult Monty and Felicity-the older siblings he never knew he had.
Adrian Montague has a bright future. The sole heir to his father's estate, he is an up and coming political writer and engaged to an activist who challenges and inspires him. But most young Lords aren't battling the debilitating anxiety Adrian secretly lives with, or the growing fear that it might consume him and all he hopes to accomplish. In the wake of his mother's unexpected death, Adrian is also concerned people will find out that he has the mental illness she struggled with for years.
When a newly found keepsake of hers-a piece of a broken spyglass-comes into Adrian's possession, he's thrust into the past and finds himself face to face with an older brother he never knew he had. Henry "Monty" Montague has been living quietly in London for years, and his sudden appearance sends Adrian on a quest to unravel family secrets that only the spyglass can answer.
In pursuit of answers about the relic, the brothers chart a course to locate their sister Felicity. But as they travel between the pirate courts of Rabat, Portuguese islands, the canals of Amsterdam, and into unknown Artic waters, the Montague siblings are thrown into one final adventure as they face a ghostly legend that threatens their whole family.
