The Port of Missing Men
There is romance of love, mystery, plot, and fighting, and a breathless dash and go about the telling which makes one quite forget about the improbabilities of the story; and it all ends in the old-fashioned healthy American way. Shirley is a sweet, courageous heroine whose shining eyes lure from page to page.

The Story of a Nodding Donkey
From the "Make Believe Stories":The Nodding Donkey dated his birth from the day he received the beautiful coat of varnish in the workshop of Santa Claus at the North Pole. Before that he was just some pieces of wood, glued together. His head was not glued on, however, but was fastened in such a manner that with the least motion the Donkey could nod it up and down, and also sidewise.It is not every wooden donkey who is able to nod his head in as many ways as could the Donkey about whom I am going to tell you. This Nodding Donkey was an especially fine toy, and, as has been said, his first birthday was that on which he received such a bright, shiny coat of varnish.

After living through a dumpster fire of a Valentine's Day, Emilie Hornby escapes to her grandmother's house for some comfort and a consolation pint of Ben & Jerry's. She passes out on the couch, but when she wakes up, she's back home in her own bed-and it's Valentine's Day all over again. And the next day? Another nightmare V-Day.

In addition to Josh's recurring infidelity, Emilie can't get away from the enigmatic Nick, who she keeps running into-sometimes literally-in unfortunate ways.
How many days can one girl passively watch her life go up in flames? And when something good starts to come out of these terrible days, what happens when the universe stops doling out do-overs?
The Education of Henry Adams
The Education of Henry Adams records the struggle of Bostonian Henry Adams (1838-1918), in early old age, to come to terms with the dawning 20th century, so different from the world of his youth. It is also a sharp critique of 19th century educational theory and practice. In 1907, Adams began privately circulating copies of a limited edition printed at his own expense. Commercial publication had to await its author's 1918 death, whereupon it won the 1919 Pulitzer Prize.

Las relaciones entre Checoslovaquia y América Latina 1945-1989. En los archivos de la República Checa
Čtveřice autorů prezentuje první rozsáhlejší pokus o mapování vztahů Československa a Latinské Ameriky v období studené války. Vzhledem k tomu, že doposud není k dispozici sekundární literatura (s výjimkou nedávných časopiseckých studií a velmi omezeného počtu publikací starších), je práce opřena téměř výlučně o pramenný materiál, zejména z Archivu Ministerstva zahraničních věcí, Národního archivu a Archivu bezpečnostních složek. Výzkum ukázal různou intenzitu zájmu československých politických a ekonomických elit o jednotlivé země regionu, preferována byla Brazílie, Argentina, Mexiko a po roce 1959 Kuba. Současně je také patrná pragmatizace čs. zahraniční politiky, formálně byly sice zdůrazňovány politické a ideologické priority, v praxi však udržovalo Československo výhodně ekonomické vztahy i s brutálními vojenskými režimy (zvláště s Argentinou).

Vida y obra de Juan Bosch en el contexto de la historia de la República Dominicana
Španělská monografie je věnována životu a dílu Juana Bosche, výrazné osobnosti dějin nejen Dominikánské republiky, ale i celé Latinské Ameriky. Juan Bosch proslul kvalitou své literární tvorby, v politické oblasti pak jako nesmiřitelný odpůrce Trujillova diktátorského režimu – pro svůj postoj byl nucen trávit léta života v exilu. Ve svých historických textech kritizoval politiku Spojených států vůči státům na území za řekou Rio Grande. Dodnes je v celém tomto regionu uznávanou autoritou. Autoři ve svých příspěvcích současně přinášejí pohled na historii Dominikánské republiky v 19. a 20. století a sledují i vztahy této karibské země se střední Evropou.
