Hakon's Saga
All four books in Eric Schumacher's 'Hakon's Saga', a series of historical fiction set in medieval Scandinavia and Europe, now in one volume!
Mollebakken: Viking Age Norway’s greatest king, Harald Fairhair, has unified the northern districts into a kingdom, but as he ages and his body weakens, so too does his realm. To keep the kingdom from fracturing, Harald abdicates his High Seat to the one son he believes capable enough – and vicious enough – to rule: Erik Bloodaxe. But hatred between the brothers leads to an unavoidable confrontation on a rain-soaked hill called Mollebakken – a hill that will decide who will rule and who will die.
God's Hammer: It is 935 A.D. and the North is in turmoil. To solidify his claim to the throne, Erik Bloodaxe ruthlessly disposes of all claimants to his throne, save one: his youngest brother Hakon. Erik's surviving enemies send a ship to Wessex, where the Christian count of King Athelstan is raising Hakon. Unable to avoid his fate, he returns to the Viking North to face his brother and claim his birthright, only to discover that victory will demand sacrifices beyond his wildest nightmares.
Raven's Feast: The land-hungry Danes are pressing from the south to test Hakon before he can solidify his rule. In the east, the Uplanders are making their own plans to seize the throne. It does not help that Hakon is committed to his dream of Christianizing his people - a dream his countrymen do not share and will fight to resist. As his enemies move in and his realm begins to crumble, Hakon and his band of oath-sworn warriors must make their stand.
War King: A tempest is brewing in the North. The sons of Erik Bloodaxe have come to reclaim his former throne and avenge the wrong done to their father and their kin. With them marches an army of sword-Danes sent by the Danish King, Harald Bluetooth, whose desire to expand his realm is as powerful as the lust for vengeance that pulses in the veins of Erik’s brood. Like storm-driven waves, the opposing forces collide, and when they do, Hakon is left with no choice but to face the tempest and resist.

AllatRa
Stará proroctví na různých kontinentech, v různých dobách a v různých náboženských systémech vypovídala o tom, že v dnešní době, v době globální změny epoch, se objeví kniha, která změní svět. Bude silná v každém svém slovu a znaku. Díky informacím, které přinese, lidé ztratí pochybnosti a strach a uvidí pravdu. Starověké Znalosti budou obnoveny z popela, a síla, kterou nese, na¬plní každého, kdo s ní přijde do kontaktu. Kniha AllatRa obsahuje unikátní vědecké poznatky, které moderní věda objeví až v budoucnosti. Nicméně, tyto znalosti jsou schopné už teď obrátit představy lidí o světě a o sobě samých. Tato senzační kniha odhaluje umělost vnějšího světa i informace, které vy¬tvářejí hmotu. Je to astrofyzika budoucnosti. Víceúrovňová struktura vesmíru, tajemství černé díry, exkluzivní podrobnosti o elektronu a tajemství jeho okamžitého přechodu ze stavu částice do vlnové podoby; obsahuje jedinečné prvotní znalosti o vícerozměrné konstrukci člověka v neviditelném světě, o spojení člověka s jinými dimenzemi a o výjimečných schopnostech mimo třetí dimenzi. Odpovídá na otázky, k čemu člověk potřebuje výkonný mozek a víceúrovňové vědomí, co je to změněný stav vědomí a jak probíhá postupné ponoření se do něj.Kniha poskytuje starobylé praktiky pro duchovní sebezdokonalování a spojení se svou Duší, radí, jak rozvinout šestý smysl a kontakt s neviditelným světem. Popisuje povahu nadpřirozených schopností (jasno¬zřivosti, jasnoslyšení, čtení myšlenek, předvídavosti) a dvojakost jejich projevů i proč je tak důležitá práce na sobě a pochopení procesů neviditelného světa. Kniha AllatRa dává univerzální klíč k dešifrování starověkých symbolů, které v sobě uchovávají Znalosti starodávných civilizací a jsou zafixovány v petroglyfech z dob paleolitu. Je bohatě ilustrovaná kresbami archeologických artefaktů z různých starověkých civilizací (protoindické kultury, tripolské kultury, různých kultur staré Evropy, Balkánu, Blízkého Východu, Uralu, kultur Afriky, Asie a Severní a Jižní Ameriky), což dokazuje přítomnost stejného duchovního poznání v různých dobách u různých lidí, kteří žili na různých kontinentech. Odhaluje tajemství tisíciletí, příběhy o znacích a symbolech, jež v masách aktivují agresi nebo pocit naděje pro budoucnost. Příklady jejich využití kněžími nalezneme jak v historii vojenských expanzí na vlajkách a štítech, tak v současné době v náboženských institucích. Dává možnost hlouběji pochopit, jak se buduje pevný vztah muže a ženy, manželství, jaký je význam rodiny, co je to sexuální energie a jak ji ovládat, co je to opravdová Láska i co je důležité při výchově dětí. Kniha AllatRa nabízí bezprecedentní model lidské společnosti, která dokáže fungovat bez politického a kněžského systému. Je to životní encyklopedie prapůvodních Znalostí o světě, společnosti a člověku, fundament pro duchovní probuzení a radikální transformaci Člověka i celého Lidstva.
Veľkomaďarské blúznenie
Je zaujímavé sledovať dnešnú maďarskú politiku, ale aby sme jej rozumeli, musíme poznať minulosť. A tá je veľmi poučná. Z čoho teda vychádza dnešná maďarská zahraničná politika?
Ako sa vyrábala a vyrába propagandistická maďarská história? Aká je napríklad pravda o tzv. svätoštefánskej korune? Aká je pravda o maďarskom genofonde? A čo rozprávky o 1000-ročnom Maďarsku? Maďarské historické mýty či chorobná paranoja? Prečo chcú Maďari zrušiť Benešove dekréty? Aké boli maďarské machinácie proti ČSR? A aké boli a sú proti dnešnej SR od jej vzniku? Kto a prečo falšuje naše slovenské dejiny? Hovoria nám historici pravdu? Aký bol a stále je útlak Slovákov v Maďarsku? O čom teda snívajú maďarskí šovinisti? Čo nás učí história?

The Last Story of Mina Lee
In 1987, Mina Lee flies from Seoul to Los Angeles to start a new life.
Thirty years later, Margot Lee speaks to her mother for the last time.
Between these two moments extends a lifetime of secrets. These are stories of unexpected loves and devastating losses. Of choices made and those left behind. Of a mother and daughter who have always struggled to understand each other.
These are stories waiting to be told, before it's too late.
Reminiscent of Celeste Ng's page-turning meditations on identity, this searing mother-daughter story explores the diverse and unsettling realities of being an immigrant in America.
Lacná kniha What You Did Not Tell (-50%)
Uncovering their remarkable and moving stories, Mark Mazower recounts the sacrifices and silences that marked a generation and their descendants. In the centenary of the Russian Revolution, What You Did Not Tell revitalises the history of a socialism erased from memory - humanistic, impassioned, and broad-ranging in its sympathies. But it is also an exploration of the unexpected happiness that may await history's losers, of the power of friendship and the love of place that made his father at home in an England that no longer exists.

Medzi nami
Boli, sú a budú medzi nami. Niektorí preto, že tu boli skôr ako my. Niektorí sa tak narodili, iní sa nimi stali. Niektorí prišli ako predvoj nepriateľov, iní naopak, aby nás pred nepriateľmi chránili. Jedni k nám zablúdili, druhí prišli za obchodnými záležitosťami, ďalší sú na nás jednoducho zvedaví. A za niektorými sme sa vydali my. Anjeli, upíri, obyvatelia iných planét, iných svetov. V nás, obyčajných ľuďoch, odjakživa vzbudzovali nepokoj. Prinajmenšom v tých, ktorí o nich niečo tušia.
