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.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona
The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career. It has the smallest cast of any of Shakespeare's plays, and is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. It deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed.

The Pit: A Story of Chicago
Norris described The Pit as a fictitious narrative of a "deal" in the Chicago wheat pit, which is the nickname of the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, where commodities are traded like stocks and bonds. One man tries to corner the market on wheat to make a fortune. More than a business story, the novel deals with love and the lack of love in a relationship, selfishness, power, greed, the financial power of men and lack of their power to control events that are shaped by nature. Quote:“Think of it, the food of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people just at the mercy of a few men down there on the Board of Trade. They make the price. They say just how much the peasant shall pay for his loaf of bread. If he can’t pay the price, he simply starves.”These poor people’s lives are completely out of their hands. In contrast, Norris suggests that ultimately the men down in the Pit don’t have power over them either, nor over their own lives, because above all, nature rules.
