Nella is desperate to save the family and maintain appearances, to find Thea a husband who will guarantee her future, and when they receive an invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball, she is overjoyed - perhaps this will set their fortunes straight. And indeed, the ball does set things spinning: new figures enter their life, promising new futures. But their fates are still unclear, and when Nella feels a strange prickling sensation on the back of her neck, she wonders if the miniaturist has returned for her . . .

Rateliff - History of the Hobbit: Vol. 2
The second half of a major new examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit', including his complete unpublished draft version of the story, and many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps by Tolkien himself. The History of the Hobbit presents for the first time, in two volumes, the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. This second volume picks up Bilbo Baggins' story half-way through his journey and chronicles how, after much adversity, he must still face the mighty dragon, Smaug, carry out the burglary for which he has been recruited, and return safely home to Bag-End. But not everything goes to plan!

Dobrý člověk Ondřej Vetchý
Tygr a Býk. To není název nějakého akčního čínského filmu, ale vrozené zadání jednoho z našich nejlepších, nejobsazovanějších a nejuznávanějších herců střední generace Ondřeje Vetchého. Jako Tygr je podle čínského zvěrokruhu bojovník, vznětlivý a spurný, vždy připravený na boj. Skutečnost? Od raného mládí se učil umění juda, japonskému bojovému stylu, který má v základu obranu, nikoliv útok. Proč mluvíme o bojovém umění, když je Ondřej Vetchý herec? Protože se v něm od dětství potýkala a dodnes potýká láska ke sportu jako k osudovému koníčku s herectvím jako jeho prací, povoláním, profesí a obživou. Dá se říci, že celý svůj život, který momentálně čítá 56 let (*16. května 1962), zasvětil boji. Bojuje za slušnost v chování mezi lidmi, za toleranci, pochopení, vstřícnost, proti bezpráví, rasismu, xenofobii, za ekologické myšlení, proti plýtvání, za třídění odpadků. Není lhostejný ke světu, v němž žije a v němž žijí i jeho děti, které - jím vychovány - jednou ponesou hodnoty demokracie, svobody, zodpovědnosti a občanské společnosti, a to i přes její dnešní devastaci a znevažování některými současnými politiky.
Střet bojovníka a komedianta v osobnosti Ondřeje Vetchého je pro něj osudový, ale přitom bolestný, protože mu přináší neustálou konfrontaci potřeby vnitřního klidu bojovníka a nutnosti vnějšího pozlátka popularity oblíbeného herce. On s ním podle svých slov celý život bojuje. Bojí se fotografů, bojí se publicity, nesnáší rozhovory. Pokud někomu něco řekne, tak jen lidem, které zná a kterým důvěřuje. Z charakteristik znamení Býka na něj sedí, že je workoholik, protože když se pro nějaký projekt rozhodne, jde do něj s býčí zatvrzelostí, urputností a snahou splnit úkol na maximální možnou míru co nejlépe. S tím se pojí zodpovědnost, poctivost, spolehlivost. Ondřej má také dobré srdce, což se projevuje v jeho obraně slabších a ohrožovaných i v účasti na mnoha charitativních projektech. Je otevřený všem slušným lidem, vůči těm neslušným se v něm okamžitě nastartuje bojovník. K životu potřebuje svobodu a volnost, což se projevuje zejména v práci. Roli nevytváří na základě textu, scénáře, ale na základě svého vnitřního svobodného pochopení charakteru postavy, jejího chování, myšlení, jednání. Tím se řadí k největším mistrům svého oboru.
Jeho životním číslem je trojka, která je charakteristická činorodou myslí, tvořivostí, originálností, velkou obrazotvorností a velkým osobním kouzlem a vtipem. To všechno v sobě Ondřej má a jistě i pro tento nevšední koktejl vlastností, schopností, charakteru, talentu a mužného vzhledu patří ve své generaci k hercům s největším charismatem.
Kdo by si ho nepamatoval jako čerta Janka s hodností vraníka v kultovní pohádce S čerty nejsou žerty? Jako pilota RAF Františka Slámu z nejdražšího tuzemského velkofilmu Tmavomodrý svět? Jako tatínka z Vieweghových Báječných let pod psa? Jako neúplatného novináře Kadlece ze seriálů Místo nahoře a Místo v životě? Jako zaníceného fotbalového kapitána a trenéra Jirku Luňáka z Okresního přeboru? Jako tatínka v nostalgickém svěrákovském leporelu Po strništi bos? Jako Jeronýma Pražského, Aloise Rašína nebo Lucifera? A čekají ho další zajímavé projekty, například televizní Emanuel Moravec nebo návrat do krimi žánru ve Vysoké hře... Z jen stručného výčtu minulých i budoucích rolí je zřejmé, že jeho založení bojovníka za čest, slušnost, pravdu a lásku ho vedlo k účasti v projektech z naší dávné i nedávné historie, mapujících často těžká, přelomová období či události, nebo v dílech, která řeší zlomové okamžiky v lidském životě. To však nic nemění na tom, že Ondřej Vetchý je také vtipný a veselý člověk, který má rád humor a umí perfektně vystřihnout i komediální role. Předvedl to nejen na plátně a televizní obrazovce, ale i na divadelních prknech, zejména na scéně slavného Činoherního klubu, kde působí od roku 1989.
A tak se společně začtěme do poutavého příběhu skvělého herce a dobrého člověka.
