The World and All That It Holds
The World and All That It Holds is the epic, cross-continental tale of a love so strong it conquers the Great War, revolution, and even death itself.
As the Archduke Franz Ferdinand arrives in Sarajevo one June day in 1914, Rafael Pinto is busy crushing herbs and grinding tablets behind the counter at the pharmacy he inherited from his father. It’s not quite the life he had expected during his poetry-filled student days in libertine Vienna, but it’s nothing a dash of laudanum, a summer stroll and idle fantasies can’t put in perspective.
And then the world explodes. In the trenches in Galicia, fantasies fall flat. Heroism gets a man killed quickly. War devours all that they have known, and the only thing Pinto has to live for are the attentions of Osman, a fellow soldier, a man of action to complement Pinto’s introspective, poetic soul; a charismatic storyteller and Pinto’s protector and lover.
Together, Pinto and Osman will escape the trenches and find themselves entangled with spies and Bolsheviks. As they travel over mountains and across deserts, from one world to another, all the way to Shanghai, it is Pinto’s love for Osman that will truly survive.

Temný osud jménem d´Este
Tento sugestivní a mysteriózní historický román s názvem Temný osud jménem d´Este nabízí v netradičním zpracování zajímavý pohled na různé záhadné okolnosti, předzvěsti a varovná znamení, které předcházely atentátu na následníka trůnu, arcivévodu Františka Ferdinanda d´Este a jeho manželku vévodkyni Žofii Hohenbergovou v Sarajevu, 28. června 1914. V románu se prolínají známé faktografické údaje s fiktivním milostným příběhem hlavní postavy následníka trůnu, jeho tajné milenky Maryčky, a dále potom jejího pozdějšího manžela lokaje Kazimíra Ctibora, předurčenost jejich osudů a reinkarnací. Milostný příběh arcivévody Františka Ferdinanda a Maryčky, a další jeho životní osudy, odhalují a více přibližují jinak nepřístupného a většině lidí nepříjemného následníka trůnu, a představují ho z jiného úhlu pohledu, než je o něm dosud známo.
