The Punisher 2
Punisher - bojovník proti zlu těmi nejradikálnějšími prostředky. Počet jeho obětí jde do tisíců a už jen vyslovit jeho jméno na večírku Cosa Nostry znamená okamžitý konec zábavy a rozchod domů, do protipunisherovských bunkrů. Samozřejmě, ne vždycky to Punisherovi vyjde. Taky byl za svou kariéru několikrát chycený policií a zavřený do vězení. Bohužel to nemělo moc výchovný účinek, protože pro Punishera je pobyt v kriminále něco, jako byste obézního člověka zavřeli za trest do cukrárny. Všude samí kriminálníci, kteří nemají kam utéct tak si Punisher představuje ráj na zemi. Aby bylo jasno, Punisher není žádný kladný hrdina. Nenechte se zmást maskou trpitele, kterému gangsteři zabili rodinu a on se teď mstí - už dávno pozabíjel jak ty, kteří za smrt jeho ženy a dětí mohli, tak jejich známé, známé jejich známých a všechny, kdo s nimi jenom prohodili pár slov..

The Punisher 3
Aby bylo jasno, Punisher není žádný kladný hrdina. Nenechte se zmást maskou trpitele, kterému gangsteři zabili rodinu a on se teď mstí - už dávno pozabíjel jak ty, kteří za smrt jeho ženy a dětí mohli, tak jejich známé, známé jejich známých a všechny, kdo s nimi jenom prohodili pár slov. Všichni tvůrci se v podstatě shodují, že Punisher je sadistický parchant, kterému se líbí zabíjet lidi, a že smrt rodiny byla v podstatě záminka, aby mohl dělat to, co ho opravdu baví.

Bouře/The Tempest

The Red Hotel
In THE RED HOTEL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF STALIN'S DISINFORMATION WAR, former Daily Telegraph Foreign Editor and Russian expert Alan Philps sets out the way Stalin created his own reality by constraining and muzzling the British and American reporters covering the Eastern front during the war and forcing them to reproduce Kremlin propaganda. War correspondents were both bullied and pampered in a gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and to share their beds.
While some of these translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were brave secret dissenters who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag. Through the use of British archives and Russian sources, the story of the role of the women of the Metropol Hotel and the foreign reporters they worked with is told for the first time. With a riveting narrative very much in the same wheelhouse as Ben McIntyre's Agent Sonya this revelatory story will finally lift the lid on Stalin's operation to muzzle and control what the western allies' writers and foreign correspondents knew of his regime's policies to prosecute the war against Hitler's rampaging armies from June 1941 onwards

The Pomegranate Gate
Two worlds bound by a pomegranate gate
Toba Peres can speak but she can’t shout; she can walk but she can’t run; and she can write in five languages… with both hands at the same time.
Naftaly Cresques dreams every night of an orange-eyed stranger; when awake, he sees things that aren’t real; and he carries a book he can never lose and never read.
When the Queen of Sefarad orders all the nation’s Jews to leave or convert, Toba and Naftaly are forced to flee, but an unlucky encounter leaves them both separated from their caravan. Lost in the wilderness, Toba follows an orange-eyed stranger through a mysterious gate in a pomegranate grove, leaving Naftaly behind.
With a single step, Toba enters an ancient world that mirrors her own. There, she finds that her fate—and Naftaly’s—are bound to an ancient conflict threatening to destroy both realms.

The God Desire
From the bestselling author of Jews Don't Count
' A hugely heartfelt, funny, kind, fascinating, human and clever book ' ALAIN DE BOTTON
' Magnificent. Breathtaking. And shockingly rare ... another one-sitting wonder' STEPHEN FRY
David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn't. Or at least, that is Baddiel's view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone else's, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for we will, considers Baddiel, make real. The admission of his own divine yearnings makes for a book that is more vulnerable - and more understanding of the value and power of religion - than most atheist polemics. A philosophical essay that utilises Baddiel's trademarks of comedy, storytelling and personal asides, The God Desire offers a highly readable new perspective on the most ancient of debates.

So it is in profound despair that Hector embarks on a succession of daring escapades as he courts death fearlessly. Yet again and again he wins glory - against brigands, bandits, the British, boa constrictors, sharks, tigers and crocodiles. At the Battle of Trafalgar it is his bullet that fells Nelson. But however far his adventures take him - from Burma's jungles to the wilds of Ireland - his destiny lies always with his father's enemy, Napoleon.
