Letecká válka nad Vysočinou 1939 až 1945
Kniha popisuje veškeré vážnější letecké nehody, k nimž došlo na území současného Kraje Vysočina v letech 1939 až 1945. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována německé výcvikové jednotce Schlachtgeschwader 102, která měla ve stavu legendární střemhlavé letouny Junkers Ju 87 Stuka a během svého ročního působení z letiště v Německém Brodě zaznamenala minimálně 93 havárií. Podrobně jsou zpracovány rovněž všechny bojové akce, přičemž k nejzajímavějším událostem patří sestřelení dvou německých letounů He 111 na Třebíčsku, zřícení amerického čtyřmotorového bombardéru B-24 Liberator u Polné, pád americké stíhačky P-51 Mustang poblíž Pelhřimova či sestřelení sovětského průzkumného stroje Pe-2 u Ledče nad Sázavou.
Tajomstvo kráľovstva
Knihu možno čítať ako hociktorý spomedzi autorových preslávených historických románov. Ako strhujúci príbeh a pestrofarebnú fresku konkrétneho historického obdobia. Pozornejší čitateľ však nájde niekedy až veľmi priliehavé a na zamyslenie nútiace paralely s časmi, v ktorých žila Waltariho generácia nielen vo Fínsku, ale aj v celej Európe. A tak Tajomstvo kráľovstva nie je iba literárnym stvárnením štyridsiatich dní od Ježišovho ukrižovania po Kristovo nanebovstúpenie, ale i nahliadnutím do zrkadla.
Od predchádzajúcich slovenských vydaní Waltariho kníh sa táto naša pôvodným prekladom z fínskeho jazyka (predchádzajúce knihy boli preklady prekladov najmä z nemčiny), o ktorý sme požiadali významného prekladateľa Andreja Rádyho. V jeho autorskom pretlmočení, zase priamo z fínčiny, pripravujeme aj voľné pokračovanie knihy Nepriatelia ľudstva, ktoré plánujeme vydať v roku 2023. Knihou chceme pripomenúť aj významného slovenského výtvarníka Stana Dusíka (* 6. jún 1946, Boleráz 6. december 2019, Florencia), ktorého diela sme použili ako ilustrácie a nim sme podriadili aj celkový vzhľad publikácie. Vychádza v edícii TERRA.

Do temnoty - 2. svazek
Nejvyšší trůn Erkynu se kymácí, královská rodina je rozdělena a oslabena. Královna Miriamele se připletla do krvavého povstání na jihu a je považována za mrtvou. Jejího vnuka, pohřešovaného prince Morgana, zajme v sutinách opuštěného města obklíčeného Norny jedna z Bílých lišek. A král Simon, zdrcený žalem a beznadějí, netuší, že za mnoha tragédiemi z poslední doby stojí zrádce, který se skrývá mezi jeho nejbližšími na hayholtském dvoře. Na jihu využívají této slabosti stepní kočovníci, po dlouhé době sjednocení pod silným vůdcem, ale ta pravá hrozba přichází ze severu. Do Erkynu vpadla armáda Nornů vedená nesmrtelnou královnou Utuk’ku, jejíž plány zdaleka nekončí dobytím pohraniční pevnosti Naglimund, vyvražděním jejích obránců a ukořistěním bájné zbroje ze starého hrobu Ruyana Mořeplavce. Zdá se, že ani Sithové, příbuzní Nornů, nedokáží zabránit triumfu pomstychtivé královny se stříbrnou maskou, jejíž vojska táhnou na Hayholt a současně se snaží proniknout do odlehlého, zakázaného údolí Mlh – Tanakirú – kde čeká tajemství, které může Simonovi a jeho sithijským spojencům přinést záchranu – nebo zkázu. Tad Williams splétá ve třetí knize série Poslední král Východního Ardu přinejmenším tucet podmanivých příběhů a rozehrává tuto velkolepou fantasy partii k velkému finále.

Independence Square
ARKADY RENKO IS BACK . . .
Confined to a desk job by his superiors to keep him out of the way, Arkady Renko is more disillusioned with the general state of Russia than ever. But, despite everything, he has hope. People want change, and politician Leonid Lebedev could be the man to do it.
Tasked by a father with finding his missing daughter, a staunch Lebedev supporter and member of the Forum, Renko is thrown into the heart of a dangerous conspiracy when another member of the Forum is found murdered – Alex, a close friend of his own son.
The night before his murder, Alex sent Arkady a cryptic message, simply containing three pictures of Russian writers. The link between the pictures is there, if only he could see it.
But Arkady has just been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and the disease is taking its toll. This time, he must fight more than the impenetrable Russian regime to get answers – he will also need to fight himself.
Becoming Calder
The first book in the Acadia Duology, a forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation ARCHER'S VOICE.
The light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places, from the beginning of time to the end of the world.
There is a place in today's America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place, there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition.
In the community of Acadia lives a boy named Calder with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He serves his family with faith and honour, but he dares to dream of more . . . especially when an angel-faced girl his age is brought to their community. To Acadia, Eden is obedient perfection, prophesized to lead them to eternal peace, but to Calder, even at first glance, she is so much more.
Calder and Eden were never meant to be friends. Certainly never meant to fall in love. After all, Eden is betrothed to Acadia's leader, secluded until the day of her destiny. But as she and Calder steal fleeting moments and forbidden kisses, their hearts grow dangerously tangled, and it's too late to heed the warnings.
In Acadia, they can never be together. But Acadia is all they know. If they want any chance at a future, they must risk everything to choose between the life they were taught to live and the dream their hearts want to follow.
Finding Eden
The second book in the Acadia Duology, a forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation ARCHER’S VOICE.
When the world as you know it has ended, when all that you love has been washed away, where do you find strength?
Calder and Eden are free from the stifling grasp of Acadia, but the new world they’ve stepped into is just as isolating. Each convinced the other died in the flood that decimated their community, they’re forced into modern life, hearts broken, futures unclear. After all they sacrificed to be together, a life without one another, forever haunted by grief and memories, seems impossible to bear.
But they do bear it. They survive. And when they meet by chance years later, happiness, for once, finally seems within their grasp.
Still, the past is a bright, burning pain between them, and Calder and Eden cannot truly move on until they lay it to rest. With Acadia’s story forced into the public eye and dangerous questions mounting, the two must untangle the truths of the life they came from to discover who they are and who they might become together.
Only, what they discover might drown them for good.
The Exiled
Trust no one.
It is six months since the Arcadia set sail for the first time in forty years. But this wasn't the freedom the inhabitants were hoping for. Esther Crossland did what she had to do, but it has left a trail of destruction in her wake. Now the wrecked ship is abandoned. Its inhabitants are in exile, trapped in sprawling make-shift shelters made up of warehouse, tents, shipping containers.
Esther and Nik, architects of the rebellion, are on the run. Esther is in hiding, desperate to do something to help her people, and Nik seems to have abandoned all hope, on a journey taking him further and further from home. And neither of them want to face up to their true feelings about one another...
Not only that, there is a new villain in town. With the fall of Commander Hadley, it's left to the ruthless Admiral Janek to deal with the traitors, and her own past is beginning to catch-up with her.
Then the shaky ceasefire negotiated by General Lall, Nik's mum, falls apart. Nik and Esther find themselves in a world of betrayals and double crossings - a game of power, with no one to trust but themselves.
It's time for the final showdown.
Ahol a boldogság terem
"Kedves Rachel! Légy készen egy nagy meglepetésre. Akarsz-e csatlakozni ahhoz a társasághoz, melyet a jövõ hónap 10-én Norvégiába viszek? Egyik résztvevõm lemondott, s ha óhajtanád elfoglalni a helyét, a te ajánlkozásodnak adom az elsõséget. Gyakran voltál rá kíváncsi, hogy mi módon élünk mi az úgynevezett »Boldogság völgyé«-ben. Nos, meghívlak most oda fizetõvendég gyanánt. Jöjj és láss a magad szemével mindent, amire kíváncsi vagy. Ez a kirándulás nagyon egészséges változás lesz számodra a londoni szezon taposómalma után. A vidék képe nagyszerû, az élet valóban árkádiai, a levegõ pedig testet-lelket felfrissítõ. Ott ugyan nem lelné helyét a te kényes szobalányod, arra sem nyílna alkalom, hogy pompás kalaptollaidat fitogtasd. Egy vastag bot s egy pár erõs cipõ váltja fel a kényelmes kocsik helyét."

The Familiar
In a shabby house, on a shabby street, in the new capital of Madrid, Luzia Cotado uses scraps of magic to get through her days of endless toil as a scullion. But when her scheming mistress discovers the lump of a servant cowering in the kitchen is actually hiding a talent for little miracles, she demands Luzia use those gifts to better the family's social position.
What begins as simple amusement for the bored nobility takes a perilous turn when Luzia garners the notice of Antonio Perez, the disgraced secretary to Spain's king. Still reeling from the defeat of his armada, the king is desperate for any advantage in the war against England's heretic queen-and Perez will stop at nothing to regain the king's favor.
Determined to seize this one chance to better her fortunes, Luzia plunges into a world of seers and alchemists, holy men and hucksters, where the lines between magic, science, and fraud are never certain.
But as her notoriety grows, so does the danger that her Jewish blood will doom her to the Inquisition's wrath. She will have to use every bit of her wit and will to survive-even if that means enlisting the help of Guillen Santangel, an embittered immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Ninth House, Hell Bent and creator of the Grishaverse comes a bewitching novel set in the Spanish Golden Age, brimming with peril and dark deeds.
Helyünk és sorsunk Európában
"Azt akarom itt éreztetni és megértetni mindenekfölött, hogy a magyar célokon egyszerûen nem lehet változtatni. Ezért minden magyar korszak és nemzedék annyit ér, amennyire hû marad az árpádi és Szent István-i örökséghez." A mû végsõ soron három történetpolitikai tanulmány: Az eltévedt lovas maga a magyar nemzet, amely letévedt az õsi útról, az Európa ellenünk és önmaga ellen címû rész Trianon szörnyû igazságtalanságát jelöli meg az új világomlás közeledõ okaként, míg a harmadik, a Dunai kibontakozás elé az ésszerû, tartós, eszmei, elvi alapokat vázolja föl a magyar jövõ számára."

Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: Guilty but Insane
The plea of insanity in criminal cases can be traced back at least to the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, which dates from 1755-1759 BC. It is a complicated defence, and its origins in modern law lie with the 'M'Naghten Rules' of 1843, formulated by British judges as a jury instruction in cases where a plea of insanity had been entered. Daniel M'Naghten shot and killed one Edward Drummond, believing him to be the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, and was acquitted on the grounds of insanity, and the M'Naghten Rules still exert considerable influence over defences today.
Clearly a plea of insanity in murder cases is of critical importance when the death penalty is still applied, and even today it may still be the difference between a life sentence in a high-security prison, or an indeterminate one in a secure psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, 27 of the USA's 50 states have retained or readopted the death penalty, and at least 54 other countries, including China, Russia, India, Iran and Saudi Arabia, also retain it.
Naturally, a criminal who was liable to swing for murder could, and sometimes did, make every attempt to appear insane, and this book examines some of these cases, as well as trials in which the accused was indeed judged to be insane. The failure rate is high; of seven American serial killers who deployed the defence in their trials, only two were successful, ending their days in secure psychiatric facilities; two were executed, and the other three either died or were killed while serving full-life sentences, or are still in gaol.
A Memoir of My Former Self : A Life in Writing
As well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. 'Ink is a generative fluid,' she explains. 'If you don't mean your words to breed consequences, don't write at all.' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades.
Mantel's subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.
From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel's life in her own dazzling words, 'messages from people I used to be.' Compelling, often very funny, always luminous, it is essential reading from one of our greatest writers.
