Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Zrcadlová četba
Výběr čtyř příběhů slavného detektiva Sherlocka Holmese obsahuje následující povídky: Skandál v Čechách, kde neporazitelného detektiva překoná ženský důvtip, Ligu zrzavých, příběh o nezdařeném pokusu o velkou bankovní loupež, Případ totožnosti, v němž prostoduchá mladá dědička v den svatby marně čeká na svého ženicha, a příběh Pět pomerančových jadérek, kdy Sherlock Holmes nedokáže včas zabránit dovršení tragédie jedné rodiny. Mistr dedukce tedy i přes rozluštění všech záhad nevychází z každého případu jako absolutní vítěz. – The collection of four stories about the famous detective Sherlock Holmes contains the following short stories: A Scandal in Bohemia, where the invincible detective is overcome by female wit, The Adventure of the Red-headed League, the story of a failed attempt on a big bank robbery, A Case of Identity, in which a simple-minded young heiress awaits in vain her groom on her wedding day, and The Five Orange Pips, when Sherlock Holmes cannot prevent in time the completion of the tragedy in one family. So despite unravelling all the mysteries, the master of deduction is not an absolute winner in solving of each case.

The Fall of Numenor
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.
Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told.
Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, adhering to the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
The Song of Achilles
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The Song of Achilles, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
The god touches his finger to the arrow's fletching. Then he breathes, a puff of air - as if to send dandelions flying, to push toy boats over water. And the arrow flies, straight and silent, in a curving, downward arc towards Achilles' back.
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the court of King Peleus and his perfect son Achilles. Despite their differences, the boys develop a tender friendship, a bond which blossoms into something deeper as they grow into young men.
But when Helen of Sparta is kidnapped, Achilles is dispatched to distant Troy to fulfil his destiny. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they hold dear.

Dance of Thieves
A reformed thief and the young leader of an outlaw dynasty lock wits in a battle that may cost them their lives, and their hearts, in a new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Remnant Chronicles.
When the patriarch of the Ballenger empire dies, his son, Jase, becomes its new leader. Even nearby kingdoms bow to the strength of this outlaw family, who have always governed by their own rules. But a new era looms on the horizon, set in motion by a young queen, which makes her the target of the dynasty's resentment and anger.
At the same time, Kazi, a legendary former street thief, is sent by the queen to investigate transgressions against the new settlements. When Kazi arrives in the forbidding land of the Ballengers, she learns that there is more to Jase than she thought. As unexpected events spiral out of their control, bringing them intimately together, they continue to play a cat and mouse game of false moves and motives in order to fulfil their own secret missions.
Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.

Greens of Daisy - A természet kincsestára
Sokan csupán vadvirágnak vagy zavaró gyomnak látnak egy sárgán virító pitypangot, egy kerítés mellett bokrosodó csalánt. Mások csak a tavasz igazi hírnökeként gyönyörködnek egy illatos orgonában, és nem is gondolnák, hogy a rózsa szirmaiból akár lekvár is készíthető.
Nem így könyvünk szerzője, Bukovicsné Békefi Daisy, aki már gyerekkorában elmélyült a gyógyító és ehető vadnövények varázslatos világában. Legyen az a cukkini virága, vadsóska, árvácska vagy a sokrétű csalánlevél, számtalan gaznak tűnő egyszerű kerti növény rejt magában igazi kincseket, nem utolsósorban ínycsiklandó ízeket. A könyvben nem csak útmutatást és leírást találunk a legfontosabb gyógynövények felhasználását illetően, de több mint 33 ételrecepttel új színt vihetünk mindennapi ételeinkbe!
A szerző a Greens of Daisy márka névadója és alapítója, kertészmérnök, három gyermekes édesanya, Go Green nagykövet, követőinek száma több százezres nagyságrendű.

Lord of the Flies
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the imag

Flies" is one of the most celebrated and widely read of modern classics.

Poetické Slovensko / Poetry of Slovakia
Súčasné Slovensko formovali v dávnej minulosti mnohé ríše a národy. Od Keltov, Dákov, Samovu ríšu, slovanskú
Veľkomoravskú ríšu, Uhorsko, habsburgské Rakúsko, Rakúsko - Uhorsko, na troskách ktorého získali Slováci
po tisíc rokoch znovu samostatnosť v rámci prvej Československej republiky. Cez krátku avantúru s nacistickým
Nemeckom, obnovením československej štátnosti pod dozorom komunistického Sovietskeho zväzu až k zmene
spoločenského poriadku v roku 1989 a následnému vyhláseniu samostatnosti 1.januára1993.
Za tie dlhé storočia boli obyvatelia dnešného Slovenska konfrontovaní s mnohými výzvami. Dôležitými míľnikmi
bolo prijatie kresťanstva, odmietnutie učenia byzantínskych vierozvestcov Cyrila a Metoda a následné pričlenenie
sa k západnej cirkvi. Epidémia čierneho moru zdecimovala počty obyvateľov. Následná nemecká kolonizácia
priniesla modernizáciu a rozkvet spoločnosti. Osmanské výboje priamo ohrozovali značnú časť obyvateľstva.
Slovensku sa nevyhli náboženské konflikty v Európe. Posledné storočie striedali krátke epizódy všestranného
a demokratického rozvoja s najkrvavejšími diktatúrami, ktoré kedy existovali. Po získaní samostatnosti
pred dvadsiatimi piatimi rokmi začala kľukatá cesta k demokracii a obdobiu zrejme najväčšej prosperity,
akú sme na Slovensku kedy zažili.
Súc diplomatom, prežívam dlhé obdobia môjho života v zahraničí. Je veľmi zaujímavé spoznávať nové krajiny,
chápať osobitosti rôznych spoločenských poriadkov, náboženstiev, iných kultúr. Ľuďom sa častokrát stáva,
že nestihnú spoznať vlastnú krajinu. Dlhé roky som sa venoval jej fotografovaniu. Kedysi na veľmi amatérskej báze.
Od fotoaparátu upevnenom v čínskom lampióne šťastia, cez rogalo a vetrone až k športovým lietadlám.
Výsledkom je takmer 120 fotografií, na ktorých sa pokúšam ukázať magickú krásu Slovenska.
