Bruce. Životopis Bruce Springsteena
Již více než čtyři desetiletí jsou písně Bruce Springsteena odrazem srdce a duše Ameriky. Během své kariéry získal na dvacet cen Grammy, dva Zlaté Globy a jednoho Oscara, k tomu prodal více než 120 milionů alb. Jeho hlas má také nemalý vliv na americkou kulturu a politiku. Sám Barack Obama jednou v narážce na Springsteenovu celoživotní přezdívku prohlásil: „Já jsem prezident, ale on je šéf.“ Životopis nazvaný prostě Bruce je první biografií po pětadvaceti letech, na níž spolupracoval i samotný Springsteen. Peter Ames Carlin měl neomezený přístup nejen k němu, ale i k jeho rodině a nejbližším spolupracovníkům, během psaní mimo jiné pořídil poslední velký rozhovor se saxofonistou Clarencem Clemonsem před jeho smrtí. Výsledkem je dosud nejcelistvější příběh muzikanta a zpěváka, který vyrůstal ve stínu dávné rodinné tragédie, odmalička byl posedlý hudbou a celý život ze všeho nejvíc toužil po slávě a vlivu. Členové doprovodné kapely E Street Band se tu poprvé otevřeně zpovídají z pocitů, které v nich vzbudilo nečekané rozpuštění skupiny v roce 1989, a popisují její složité obnovení o deset let později. Carlin rovněž popisuje Springsteenovo často poněkud neurovnané soukromí, od dětství v dělnické rodině v nepříliš utěšeném prostředí ve Freeholdu přes neústupnou cestu ke slávě a komplikované milostné vztahy až po jeho celoživotní boj s démony, kteří málem zničili jeho otce. Čtenář má tak možnost seznámit se se Springsteenovou kariérou v celé její šíři a dozví se, co se v minulých desetiletích odehrávalo v jeho duši. Pro Springsteenovy fanoušky je pečlivě připravený a brilantně sepsaný životopis nutností, ostatním prozradí mnohé o jedné z největších osobností americké moderní hudby.
Novinář Peter Ames Carlin píše především pro New York Times a časopis People, známé jsou i jeho kritiky pro magazín The Oregonian. Je autorem dvou mimořádně úspěšných hudebních biografií, Catch a Wave: The Rise, Fall & Redemption of the Beach Boys‘ Brian Wilson (Chytit správnou vlnu: Cesta vzhůru, pád a vykoupení Briana Wilsona z Beach Boys) a Paul McCartney: A Life (Paul McCartney: Život). S rodinou žije v Portlandu ve státě Oregon.
Repentance
'Very impressive... Repentance is an evocative crime thriller with a likeable, self-aware protagonist, but also skilfully explores the darkest period in Argentina's modern history'
Financial Times
'A powerful crime novel ... Opening old historical wounds that still strongly affect Argentinian society, this is a tale with many layers, many of them painful to evoke and a strong depiction of a country and a period that still simmers between the pages of history books and the crime novel is a perfect way of lancing the boil. Recommended'
Maxim Jakubowski, Crime Time
BUENOS AIRES, 1981.
Argentina is in the grip of a brutal military dictatorship.
Inspector Joaquin Alzada's work in the Buenos Aires police force exposes him to the many realities of life under a repressive regime: desperate people, terrified people and - worst of all - missing people.
Personally, he prefers to stay out of politics, enjoying a simple life with his wife Paula. But when his revolutionary brother Jorge is disappeared, Alzada will stop at nothing to rescue him.
TWENTY YEARS LATER...
The country is in the midst of yet another devastating economic crisis and riots are building in the streets of Buenos Aires.
This time Alzada is determined to keep his head down and wait patiently for his retirement. But when a dead body lands in a skip behind the morgue and a woman from one of the city's wealthiest families goes missing, Alzada is forced to confront his own involvement in one of the darkest periods in Argentinian history - a time of
collective horror and personal tragedy.
Alternating between two key moments in the life of a man and his country, Repentance is a noir with a difference, featuring an unforgettable character on a quest to solve a case that offers both a painful reminder of all he has lost and a last chance at redemption.

Going Postal
The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
The post was an old thing, of course, but it was so old that it had magically become new again.
Moist von Lipwig is a con artist and a fraud and a man faced with a life choice: be hanged, or put the ailing postal service of Ankh-Morpork – the Discworld’s city-state – back on its feet.
It’s a tough decision.
The post is a creaking old institution, overshadowed by new technology. But there are people who still believe in it, and Moist must become one of them if he's going to see that the mail gets through, come rain, hail, sleet, dogs, the Post Office Workers Friendly and Benevolent Society, an evil chairman . . . and a midnight killer.
Getting a date with Adora Bell Dearheart would be nice, too.
Perhaps there's a shot at redemption in the mad world of the mail, waiting for a man who's prepared to push the envelope...
The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Going Postal is the first book in the Moist von Lipwig series.

The Gospel Pervaded by Power
The Bible is a book dealing with the history of redemption. Therefore, the first thing we must know from the Bible is the doctrine of salvation.
\"… and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation.\" (2 Timothy 3:15)
Most people will think that they are well-acquainted with the gospel. But I wonder if that is actually true. Many years ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to Gary Whetstone when he was on a mission trip in Indonesia.
While we were in that country, the Spirit of the Lord asked me, “What is your gospel?”
I answered, “My gospel proclaims that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for the world.”
Even though my response was not wrong, I sensed that God wanted to communicate to me something beyond what I was currently perceiving.
“The good news doesn’t just tell about something,” the Spirit of the Lord said to me. “The good news is something. The good news is the power of God. … I’ve given you good news, and that good news is the power of God.”
This is exactly what Paul also mentions in Romans 1:16. Now imagine that the Holy Spirit had asked you the same question. Would you have responded that the gospel is the power of God (Rom 1:16)? There are very few believers—and even pastors and theologians—who would have answered that the gospel is power.
This is because most people have a superficial understanding of the gospel and have not fully pierced through it properly. When I came to deeply understand the gospel, I found that this power pervades throughout the entire gospel. Just as how the blood of Jesus pervades the entire Bible, the power of God pervades the entire gospel. It is crucial to know this, and this is what we will now dive into in more detail.

Mikhail
He’s a dangerous jewel thief… she’s the gem expert standing in his way…
Mikhail Barinov knew he F’d up, five hundred years ago. His ‘one job’ as part of a Russian family of imperial dragon shifters? To protect the family hoard of jewels. But a dazzling virgin—who just happened to be the Elizabeth I, the Queen of England—tricked Mikhail and stole the jewels. But now he has a chance at redemption. The jewels have been found five centuries later. The only problem is they’ve been turned over to gemologist, Piper Linwood. She’s sexy, smart, ripe for seduction—but if centuries of exile taught him one thing, it’s never trust a beautiful woman.
Piper Linwood can’t wait to get her hands on her latest project. But hot damn she never expected how badly she’d want to get her hands on the dark, brooding man she sees at the museum. Of course she didn’t know he was a jewel thief. Or a dragon shifter. But all that becomes abundantly clear when he takes the jewels and her, then flies (yes, flies) to his ancestral castle. While all the alpha-male stuff is what fairy tales are made of—and frankly sexy-as-hell—the fact Piper disappeared with Mikhail has her labeled as his partner in crime. Now she must choose.
Will she betray him to save her career? Or will she stay and become the dragon’s greatest treasure?

The Necessity of Atheism
Excerpts:"There are no problems related to human progress and happiness in this age which any theology can solve, and which the teachings of freethought cannot do better and without the aid of encumbrances. ... Agree or disagree with this contention you may, but only when you are made aware of the facts that can be brought to the aid of this conviction. ... The supernaturalist's armamentarium of God, Bible, Heaven, Hell, Soul, Immortality, Sin, The Fall and Redemption of Man, Prayer, Creed, and Dogma, leave as much impression on the mind of intelligent man as would an arrow against a battleship."The author reviews the effects of religious thinking upon various aspects of human history and human thought: science, medicine, morality, witchcraft, warfare, slavery, women, labor, philosophy. He quotes many persons who have written on this subject, both in distant past and in recent years. He argues that the decline of religion and the rise of atheism are inevitable.Copyright note: This book was first published in the United States in 1933 with notice: "Copyright, 1933 BY FREETHOUGHT PRESS ASSOCIATION".

Xandria - The Wonders Still Awaiting CD
XANDRIA, nemecké ikony symfonického metalu, otvárajú ďalšiu sľubnú kapitolu svojej histórie s netrpezlivo očakávanou novou plnohodnotnou skladbou „The Wonders Still Awaiting“. S novou výkonnou zostavou, ktorú vedie hlavný mozog Marco Heubaum, Xandria pozýva svojich oddaných fanúšikov, aby vstúpili do sveta zázrakov s novými prvkami, pričom nikdy nezabudli na svoje zvukové korene. „The Wonders Still Awaiting“ obsahuje novú vokalistku Ambre Vourvahis, Roberta Klawonn (gitary), Tima Schwarza (basgitara) a Dimitriosa Gatsiosa (bicie). Zvuk „novej“ Xandrie je tvrdší, temnejší a epickejší ako kedykoľvek predtým, no zároveň si zachováva intímne prostredie a širokú škálu emócií. Album je bohatý na rôzne štýly a žánre a približuje sa k filmovému soundtracku a posiela poslucháča na emocionálnu cestu. Popri 40-člennom opernom zbore, autentických keltských nástrojoch, na ktorých hrajú renomovaní hudobníci, a jemných husľových a violončelových príspevkoch Subway To Sally's Ally Storch, nový disk zdobí Bulharský národný rozhlasový detský zbor. O orchestračné party sa postaral Lukas Knöbl, autor hollywoodskych partitúr a spolupracovník mnohých symfonických telies. “The Wonders Still Awaiting” je skvelý comeback jednej z TOP kapiel SYMPHONIC METAL.
