Anotácia: V zbierke Atentát na tmu autor odráža svoje vnútorné pnutie zhmotnených pocitov. Chce vypĺňať a občas aj bezbolestne žiť, keďže je jedným z vás. Stretnúť ho môžete medzi Svitom a Popradom. No radšej ako o poézii sa s ním ale bavte o futbale. Tomu rozumie ďaleko viac. "Verím každému Martonovmu veršu. Viete prečo? Lebo ho poznám aj osobne.“ Hirax O autorovi: Ján Marton sa poézii venuje od roku 1998. Ako člen Spišského literárneho klubu sa stal laureátom viacerých literárnych súťaží na Slovensku.

An intimate, behind-the-scenes, richly illustrated celebration of beloved The Office co-stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey’s friendship, and an insiders' view of Pam Beesly, Angela Martin, and the iconic TV show. Featuring many of their never-before-seen photos. Receptionist Pam Beesly and accountant Angela Martin had very little in common when they toiled together at Scranton’s Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

War and Peace is a novel by Leo Tolstoy, first published from 1865 to 1869 in Russkii Vestnik, which tells the story of Russian society during the Napoleonic Era. It is usually described as one of Tolstoy's two major masterpieces (the other being Anna Karenina) as well as one of the world's greatest novels.War and Peace offered a new kind of fiction, with a great many characters caught up in a plot that covered nothing less than the grand subjects indicated by the title, combined with the equally large topics of youth, marriage, age, and death. Though it is often called a novel today, it broke so many conventions of the form that it was not considered a novel in its time. Indeed, Tolstoy himself considered Anna Karenina (1878) to be his first attempt at a novel in the European sense.

Expertly researched and visionary in scale, international number one bestseller Ken Follett's Never is more than a thriller. It imagines a scenario we all hope never comes true, one which will keep you transfixed until the final page... A stolen US army drone. A shrinking oasis in the Sahara Desert.

Cymbeline is a play by William Shakespeare, based on an early Celtic British King. Although listed as a tragedy in the First Folio, modern critics often classify it as a romance.

While its date of composition is unknown, the play is known to have been produced as early as 1611. (From Wikipedia)
