Én, Mátyás király
Gáspár Ferenc legújabb könyvében különleges utazásra invitálja az olvasót: egyes szám első személyben beszélteti hősét, a mindmáig legnépszerűbb magyar uralkodót, Mátyás királyt, mégpedig úgy, hogy időnként magunk sem tudjuk Mátyás-e az, aki mesél nekünk, vagy Lebersit, a király udvari bolondja. Ők ketten ugyanis – akárcsak Arany János vígballadájában, a Pázmán lovagban –, gyakran kicserélik egymást ebben a bűnügyi regényre is hajazó műben.
A szerző megidézi a haldokló Mátyás lelkivilágát, ahogyan cselekedeteinek, döntéseinek mozgatórugóit felfedi, és amikből kiviláglik a nagy király stratégiája, életfilozófiája és életszeretete.
Mindezzel együtt egy izzig-vérig mai történetet olvashatunk, egy olyan regényt, melyben a főhős ugyanolyan magányos döntéseiben, akárcsak a ma embere.
Az Én, Mátyás király nem folytatása a korábbi műveknek – Janus, Galeotto –, ám azoknak a regényeknek a szereplői szintén feltűnnek a regényben.
S ha a Galeotto, Berka Attila, a könyv szerkesztője szerint a szerző lírai ars poeticája, akkor az Én, Mátyás király annál inkább az.

Hrady a hradné panstvá na Slovensku
Ku koloritu dnešného Slovenska neodmysliteľne patria majestátne hrady, či ich zrúcaniny rozosiate takmer po všetkých kútoch krajiny. Sú návštevnícky atraktívne a stali sa aj predmetom oficiálnej, turizmus podporujúcej politiky štátu. Samozrejme v minulosti hrady neslúžili ako romantická kulisa zdobiaca krajinu, ale plnili úplne iné úlohy. Boli predovšetkým funkčnými sídlami s obrannou a obytnou úlohou.
Kolektívna monografia má za cieľ doplniť poznatky o minulosti našich hradov, s prihliadnutím na skúmanie témy z viacerých hľadísk: z oblasti histórie, právnej histórie ako aj geografi e. Výskum danej problematiky je veľmi dynamický vzhľadom na prebiehajúce archeologické výskumy, ako aj možnosti hlbšej analýzy prameňov, kde sa nesleduje už len stavebné hľadisko, či prehľad vlastníckych vzťahov, ale tiež rôzne podoby každodenného života obyvateľov hradov či panstiev. Kým prvá časť práce sleduje vo zvýšenej miere práve rôznorodú problematiku vlastníckych vzťahov hradných panstiev od stredoveku, v druhej časti sa možnosti skúmania rozširujú o záber do organizácie života na hradoch, každodennosti, či súdobej spisby. Na záver sa rozoberá otázka geografických a krajinnoekologických súvislostí výstavby hradných sídiel a ich funkcie v dnešnej spoločnosti.
Dúfame, že spracovaním a šírkou záberu skúmanej tematiky, bude predkladaná práca nielen príjemným čítaním, ale predovšetkým dôležitým prameňom informácií o minulosti našich hradov, ktorý využijú nielen bádatelia pri svojich ďalších výskumoch, ale tiež pri prezentácii rekonštruovaných objektov pre širšiu verejnosť.

And of course Will insists on coming with.
But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
