The Library of Broken Worlds
A girl matches wits with a war god in this kaleidoscopic, epic tale of oppression and the cost of peace, where stories hide within other stories, and narrative has the power to heal... or to burn everything in its path.
In the winding underground tunnels of the Library, the great celestial peacekeeper of the three systems, a terrible secret lies buried.
As the daughter of a Library god, Freida has spent her whole life exploring the Library's ever-changing tunnels and communing with the gods. Her unparalleled access makes her unique - and dangerous.
When Freida meets Joshua, a mortal boy desperate to save his people, and Nergui, a Disciple from a persecuted religious minority, Freida is compelled to break ranks with the gods and help them.
But in order to do so, she will have to venture deeper into the Library than she has ever known. There she will discover the atrocities of the past, the truth of her origins, and the impossibility of her future...
With the world at the brink of war, Freida embarks on a journey to fulfill her destiny, one that pits her against an ancient war god. Her mission is straightforward: Destroy the god before he can rain hellfire upon thousands of innocent lives - if he doesn't destroy her first.
A sparkling, thought-provoking new offering from World Fantasy Award-winning author Alaya Dawn Johnson.
The Lost Room
In the tale, the unnamed narrator relates a tale where he literally loses his room in a surreal situation that sounds more like a rather unpleasant version of Alice in Wonderland.

Peter the Brazen

No one ever entered the Chief's office in that fashion. One waited until called upon.

Dio - The Studio Albums 1996-2004 4CD
KDO: Heavymetalová skupina, kterou založili zpěvák Ronnie James Dio a bubeník Vinny Appice po jejich odchodu od Black Sabbath. Skupina byla pojmenována po Diovi a rychle se stala známou díky silnému hlasu a charismatu jejího frontmana. Skupina Dio vytvořila několik klasických rockových hitů, včetně skladby "Holy Diver", která se stala jedním z nejznámějších rockových songů 80. let. Jejich hudba kombinovala prvky heavy metalu s epickými texty a temnými atmosférami. Dio byli aktivní v průběhu 80. a 90. let a vydali několik úspěšných alb, jako "Holy Diver" (1983), "The Last in Line" (1984) a "Dream Evil" (1987). I když se sestava skupiny měnila, Ronnie James Dio byl stále nezaměnitelným symbolem a hlasem skupiny. Ronnie James Dio tragicky zemřel v roce 2010, ale jeho dědictví a hudba nadále žijí díky fanouškům a hudebnímu světu.

A Chronology of Art
Most surveys of the history of art come neatly packaged. They are divided up into historic periods, artistic schools and movements, and the careers of individual painters. They may make the subject appear more manageable, but they are oversimplifications. In reality, movements and careers overlapped and intertwined, reacting to events in the world around them.
A Chronology of Art places the genuine developments of the art world into sharp focus. By prioritizing a purely chronological approach and side-stepping the clichés of conventional, academic pigeonholes, it presents an entirely fresh perspective on the subject. The book is structured around a central timeline, which features lavish illustrations of paintings, together with commentaries, and additional information about the social, political and cultural events of the period. The text is divided into four historical sections, becoming more detailed as it nears the present. From 1800 onward, each spread covers a five-year span, which is far more comprehensive than other surveys of this kind. The chronological spreads are interwoven with lively ‘In Focus’ features, highlighting social, stylistic and technical developments.

The Uphill Climb
Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement. He felt his neck with a careful, rubbing gesture. One hand strayed to his left cheekbone, hovered there tentatively, wandered to the bridge of his nose, and from there dropped inertly to the bed. "Lordy me! I must have been drunk last night," he said aloud, mechanically taking he straight line of logic from effect to cause, as much experience had taught him to do.

The Jelly Bean
Originally published in the periodical The Metropolitan, this story was first published in book form in Tales of the Jazz Age in 1922."This is a Southern story, with the scene laid in the small Lily of Tarleton, Georgia. I have a profound affection for Tarleton, but somehow whenever I write a story about it I receive letters from all over the South denouncing me in no uncertain terms. "The Jelly-Bean," published in "The Metropolitan," drew its full share of these admonitory notes.It was written under strange circumstances shortly after my first novel was published, and, moreover, it was the first story in which I had a collaborator. For, finding that I was unable to manage the crap-shooting episode, I turned it over to my wife, who, as a Southern girl, was presumably an expert on the technique and terminology of that great sectional pastime."
