Heroes of Olympus: The House of Hades
The House of Hades is the fourth book in the bestselling Heroes of Olympus series, set in the action-packed world of Percy Jackson. The stakes have never been higher. If Percy Jackson and Annabeth fail in their quest, there'll be hell on Earth. Literally. Wandering the deadly realm of Tartarus, every step leads them further into danger. And, if by some miracle they do make it to the Doors of Death, there's a legion of bloodthirsty monsters waiting for them. Meanwhile, Hazel and the crew of the Argo II have a choice: to stop a war or save their friends. Whichever road they take one thing is certain - in the Underworld, evil is inescapable. Rick Riordan has now sold an incredible 55 million copies of his books worldwide. "A cracking read". (Sunday Express). "Explosive". (Big Issue). "Action-packed". (Telegraph). Rick Riordan is an award-winning mystery writer. He lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and two sons. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Rick's first novel featuring the heroic young demigod, was the overall winner of the Red House Children's Book Award in 2006 and is now a blockbuster film franchise, starring Logan Lerman.
Heroes of Olympus: The House of Hades
At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape? They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

Why
Peter Hayes has been teaching Holocaust studies for decades and Why? grows out of the questions he's encountered from his students. Despite the outpouring of books, films, memorials, museums and courses devoted to the subject, a coherent explanation of why such carnage erupted still eludes people. Numerous myths have sprouted, many to console us that things could have gone differently if only some person or entity had acted more bravely or wisely; others cast new blame on favourite or surprising villains or even on historians.
Why? dispels many legends and debunks the most prevalent ones, including the claim that the Holocaust never happened. Hayes brings scholarly wisdom to bear on popular views of the history, challenging some of the most prominent interpretations and arguing that the convergence of multiple forces at a particular moment resulted in this catastrophe.

American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin
THE SUNDAY TIMES POETRY BOOK OF THE YEAR
SHORTLISTED FOR THE T. S. ELIOT PRIZE
The black poet would love to say his century began
With Hughes or God forbid, Wheatley, but actually
It began with all the poetry weirdos & worriers, warriors,
Poetry whiners & winos falling from ship bows, sunset
Bridges & windows. In a second I'll tell you how little
Writing rescues.
So begins this astonishing, muscular sequence by one of America's best-selling and most acclaimed poets. Over 70 poems, each titled 'American Sonnet for my Past and Future Assassin' and shot through with the vernacular energy of popular culture, Terrance Hayes manoeuvres his way between touching domestic visions, stories of love, loss and creation, tributes to the fallen and blistering denunciations of the enemies of the good.
American Sonnets builds a living picture of the whole self, and the whole human, even as it opens to the view the dividing lines of race, gender and political oppression which define the early 21st Century. It is compassionate, hilarious, melancholy, bewildered - and unstoppably, rhythmically compelling, as few books can hope to be.

Czech and Slovak Cinema
Peter Hames completes the first, English-language study on the themes and traditions of Czech and Slovak cinema. Joining interwar and postwar cinema with films produced during the post-Communist period, Hames follows interactions among theme, genre, and visual style and the way in which a range of styles and traditions extend across different historical periods and political regimes. Taken altogether, Hames's microanalysis of Czech and Slovak cinema opens a unique pathway into the greater themes of Central European film history.

Boldogságútlevél
Indulj világ körüli utazásra és találd meg a boldogság titkát! Tudtad, hogy a görögöknek külön szavuk van a felszabadult öröm képességére? Hogy a hosszú, sötét dán éjszakák ihlették a hygge melegségét, otthonosságát, míg a napsütötte falatozás utáni elégedett beszélgetés, a sombremesa a spanyol vendégszeretetet tükrözi? Évezredek óta a boldogságra törekszünk a világ minden táján, ám talán nem is gondolnánk, hogy mennyire különböző dolgoktól remélünk elégedettséget. A szerző a pozitív pszichológia szakértőjeként feltárja a boldogság különféle formáit és hozzásegít minket ahhoz, hogy több örömet, elégedettséget csempészhessünk a mindennapjainkba.

In Love
Hayes's masterpiece is an exquisite depiction of a doomed love affair set in noirish, 1950s New York. In a Manhattan bar, a middle-aged man tells a pretty girl a story: of how he fell into a relationship with a lonely young divorcee; of how one night she was offered a thousand dollars to sleep with a stranger; and of how he and she would subsequently betray each other in turn. In Alfred Hayes's exquisite novella, love - in all its bewildering turns of longing, elation, heartbreak and regret - is dissected with unforgettable honesty and heartbreaking clarity.

Hriešna dohoda
Hayes Flynn je arogantný blbec, známy najmä pre svoje spôsoby a štýl, akým šíri svoje britské „čaro“ po celom Hollywoode. Má zasadu, že s tou istou ženou nikdy nespí dvakrát. A je to naozaj ten posledný človek, pre ktorého by som chcela pracovať, hoci vyzerá tak, že od neho nedokážem odvrátiť pohľad. Čím viac času s ním trávim, tým ťažšie je ho nenávidieť, pretože pod tým samoľúbym zovňajškom ukrýva srdce, ktoré nechce ukázať. Srdce, ktoré bolo pred desiatimi rokmi vážne zlomené. Časť zo mňa mu ho chce zahojiť predtým, než definitívne odídem. Dokážem to však urobiť bez toho, aby som si pri tom nezlomila to svoje?

I am Pilgrim
Can you commit the perfect crime? Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn't exist. The adopted son of a wealthy American family, he once headed up a secret espionage unit for US intelligence. Before he disappeared into anonymous retirement, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation. But that book will come back to haunt him. It will help NYPD detective Ben Bradley track him down. And it will take him to a rundown New York hotel room where the body of a woman is found facedown in a bath of acid, her features erased, her teeth missing, her fingerprints gone. It is a textbook murder - and Pilgrim wrote the book. What begins as an unusual and challenging investigation will become a terrifying race-against-time to save America from oblivion. Pilgrim will have to make a journey from a public beheading in Mecca to a deserted ruins on the Turkish coast via a Nazi death camp in Alsace and the barren wilderness of the Hindu Kush in search of the faceless man who would commit an appalling act of mass murder in the name of his God.

Na šábes se nevraždí - audiokniha CD
V domově pro židovské seniory dojde ke dvěma náhlým úmrtím. Jedná se o nehodu, nebo o vraždu? Protože na šábes se nevraždí, není přivolána policie, ale soukromý detektiv.
V pražském domově, kde žijí ti, kteří přežili holocaust, dojde ke dvěma podezřelým úmrtím klientů. A to právě na šábes, židovský svátek. Protože vedení nechce v ústavu, kde svá poslední léta tráví staří lidé, vyvolat paniku, najme si na doporučení rabínovy manželky soukromého detektiva, aby celou záležitost co možná nejdiskrétněji prošetřil. Jistota, že se na šábes vraždilo, chybí, ale neblahé tušení tu je… Detektivovu domněnku, že bude třeba pátrat v minulosti, brzy potvrdí náhodný nález jednoho válečného deníku…

Ropa - Zápas o světovou moc
Ropa tekoucí zlato je nejdůležitější surovinou dnešní doby, pohání auta, tanky, loďstvo, ovládá nebe, zemi i vodstvo. Ropa, benzin, petrolej jsou světovou mocí, jejichž vliv a význam stoupá šířící se motorizací do nekonečna.
Kniha podává nezvratný důkaz o ohromném významu ropy. Autor v ní odhaluje bezohledně, ale nestranně zápasy o moc ropných magnátů, celých národů, které závodí všemi prostředky, loupeží, intrikami, zjevnými i zastřenými válkami o ovládnutí ropných území. Líčí spodní proudy tohoto obrovského zápasu o ropu a v bojích o Habeš máme jasné potvrzení důležitosti této suroviny. Statisíce lidí padlo v Uran Chaco pro ropu a další tisíce dělníků zahynulo na ropných polích.
Ropa je dnes předmětem světového dramatu, ač ještě před 70 léty to byl jen podivuhodný léčebný prostředek proti revmatismu, rakovině, vředům a plicním nemocem. Znamená boj o ropu novou světovou válku? praví autor.
Knihu, kterou držíte v ruce, napsal Anton Emmerich Zischka (1904-1997) v roce 1933-34. Ve své době byl významným investigativním rakouským žurnalistou a jedním z nejúspěšnějších spisovatelů věcné knihy. Létal svým vlastním letadlem po celém světě a zásoboval zpravodajstvím přední tiskové agentury.
Přestože tato publikace vznikla už před 85 lety, neztratila dodnes nic na své aktuálnosti. Naopak poskytuje důležité informace k porozumnění dnešní politické scény, které jsou v této podobě jedinečné a poutavé.
