Iron Ambition
The key to Mike Tyson's unprecedented success in the ring and in overcoming the demons that success laid in his path was his relationship with Cus D'Amato. When the well-past-his-prime boxing trainer and 13 year old felon met, D'Amato saw his one last shot at glory and redemption via the young thug. IRON AMBITION is the epic story of that five year relationship as well as a guide to the lessons D'Amato imparted that enabled Tyson to become the most devastating heavyweight in boxing history and, later, to achieve sobriety and intimacy with another person.Cus D'Amato possessed a brilliant mind and a flair for innovation. Well before any sports figure had ever written about Zen or getting in the zone, he realised that the key to success was to achieve a state where thoughts and emotions didn't interfere with a person's intuition. Freed from allowing those thoughts to intrude, D'Amato's successful students reached an exalted level that allowed them to perform at their physical peak. D'Amato also studied fear. Rather than pretending that fear didn't exist for his fighters, he implored them to acknowledge their fear and taught them ways to harness that fear and use it to reach another level of performance. Perhaps most important, D'Amato communicated the vital importance of discipline and schooled Tyson on how to instill discipline in his own life, a skill that has served him to this day. Paradoxically, the very skills D'Amato instilled in Tyson that garnered him untold riches and fame, opened the door to the biggest challenge of the fighter's life, when legions of corrupt bloodsuckers came to prey on him. Only after many years of hard knocks did Tyson return to his roots and use the lessons D'Amato had taught him so long before in the house on the Hudson to restore his sanity and straighten out his life. Tyson's layered path to stability and serenity is a story of uncommon richness and texture

Carriage House
Jane Austen's Persuasion is brought into the twenty-first century by Louisa Hall in The Carriage House, a stunning novel of family and forgiveness, set in contemporary suburban America. Elizabeth, Diana and Izzy, three sisters who have lived a privileged life in suburban America are the pride and joy of their father William. All three were tennis prodigies as children, popular, and successful at school: they seemed destined for greatness. But the idyllic facade masks a family who is in turmoil - their mother is suffering with early onset Alzheimer's which is making Izzy spiral out of control, Diana is failing her career, Elizabeth feels trapped by her domesticity and their father is still in love with his old sweetheart, Adelia. When William is suddenly taken ill, he reveals that he has lost faith in the things he had once held closest to his heart: the promise of his gifted daughters and his grandfather's beautiful carriage house, now lost to the family. Devastated by his disappointment in them and desperate to make their father proud, the sisters band together to restore his beloved carriage house which is now dilapidated, unloved and under threat of demolition by the neighbourhood association, and to re-build a family in disarray. Touching, intelligent and compassionate, The Carriage House is a drama about family, relationships and forgiveness - and, most importantly, that it is never too late to make amends.

Black Earth
"A brilliant, haunting, and profoundly original portrait of the defining tragedy of our time." In this epic history of extermination and survival, Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on new sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, "Black Earth" recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think, and thus all the more terrifying. The Holocaust began in a dark but accessible place, in Hitler's mind, with the thought that the elimination of Jews would restore balance to the planet and allow Germans to win the resources they desperately needed. Such a worldview could be realized only if Germany destroyed other states, so Hitler's aim was a colonial war in Europe itself. In the zones of statelessness, almost all Jews died. A few people, the righteous few, aided them, without support from institutions. Much of the new research in this book is devoted to understanding these extraordinary individuals. The almost insurmountable difficulties they faced only confirm the dangers of state destruction and ecological panic. These men and women should be emulated, but in similar circumstances few of us would do so. By overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was -- and ourselves as we are. Groundbreaking, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, "Black Earth" reveals a Holocaust that is not only history but warning."

The Defector
Six months after the dramatic conclusion of Moscow Rules, Gabriel has returned to the tan hills of Umbria to resume his honeymoon with his new wife, Chiara, and restore a seventeenth-century altarpiece for the Vatican. But his idyllic world is once again thrown into turmoil with shocking news from London. The defector and former Russian intelligence officer Grigori Bulganov, who saved Gabriel’s life in Moscow, has vanished without a trace. British intelligence is sure he was a double agent all along, but Gabriel knows better. He also knows he made a promise. Do you know what we do with traitors, Gabriel? Many things have changed in Russia since the fall of Communism. But the punishment for betrayal remains the same. Promise me one thing, Gabriel. Promise me I won’t end up in an unmarked grave. In the days to come, Gabriel and his team of operatives will find themselves in a deadly duel of nerve and wits with one of the world’s most ruthless men: the murderous Russian oligarch and arms dealer Ivan Kharkov. It will take Gabriel from a quiet mews in London, to the shores of Lake Como, to the glittering streets of Geneva and Zurich, and, finally, to a heart- stopping climax in the snowbound birch forests of Russia. Faced with the prospect of losing the one thing he holds most dear, Gabriel will be tested in ways he never imagined possible. And his life will never be the same.

Nindzsalány
Snow-Soon Lee tizenhét éves, koreai, és Bruce Lee a példaképe. A harcművészet koronázatlan királynője nem az a bulizós típus, de ha felheccelik, akár egy vadidegen, dögös srácot is hajlandó lesmárolni a moziban, hogy bebizonyítsa, nem csak a gyilkos ütéseivel tud hatni a fiúkra.

Premchand`s Short Story Reader
Publikace je kritickým vydáním 22 povídek zakladatele moderní hindské prózy - Dhanpata Ráje, známého v literárním světě jako Prémčand (1880-1936). Jsou vybrány z obrovského korpusu, který čítá přes 300 povídek. Text vznikl na základě různých indických vydání, jejich porovnáním, odstraněním tiskařských chyb a sjednocením interpunkce a pravopisu vůbec. U různých indických vydavatelů se interpunkce a pravopis podstatně liší. Dnešní hindština používá interpunkci evropskou, ale ta ve většině vydání není systematicky dodržována. Vzhledem k tomu, že autor používá četné výpůjčky z perštiny a arabštiny, bylo třeba opravit systematický a pečlivě, s použitím diakritických znamének, i transliterace výpůjček v hindském písmu dévanágarí.
Při výběru se sestavovatel řídil jazykovým a stylistickým kritériem. Tyto povídky se považují za nejlepší ze všech, které autor napsal (podtitul knihy je: Premčand kí šréšth kahániján - Prémčandovy nejlepší povídky). Mnohé z nich se vyskytují i v jiných výběrech, které vyšly v Indii. Tento výběr je reprezentativní i po stránce tematické. Přináší líčení života v rodině, postavení indické ženy v rodině i ve společnosti a život vesničanů a nejnižších společenských kast. Dále jsou tu zastoupeny náměty historické, vlastenecké, dětské, psychologické atd. Prémčand jako dobrý znalec lidské psychiky je považován za zakladatele psychologické prózy v hindštině.
Přínosem tohoto výběru je i lexikální a frazeologické zpracování textů. Slovní zásoba je řazena podle hindského abecedního pořadí a kromě anglických ekvivalentů zahrnuje také etymologické a gramatické vysvětlivky k lexémům, které jsou označené zkratkami. Pro lepší porozumění textům byly do hesláře zařazeny i veškeré vysvětlivky a poznámky k historickým a kulturním reáliím. Kniha je určena neindickému čtenáři a může posloužit i jako učební pomůcka pro studenty indologie a jiné zájemce o hindskou literaturu.

Metuzalémovy děti
Lidstvo se chystá vydat se ke hvězdám, ale ve svém jádru je stále stejné. Stejně sobecké, nepoučitelné, manipulovatelné a závistivé. Krycí nátěry jeho podstaty, veškeré hraní si na civilizované a osvícené bytosti, končí v okamžiku, kdy veřejnost zjistí, že mezi sebou mají skupinku lidí, jejichž doba života několikanásobně překračuje obvyklý průměr.
Nikdo se nehodlá spokojit s vysvětlením, že nejde o žádnou zázračnou kůru dlouhověkosti, ale o důsledek dlouhodobého genetického programu. Všichni jsou zajedno: Howardovy rodiny musí předat své žárlivě střežené tajemství dlouhověkosti všem!
Veškeré zákony na ochranu svobod jednotlivce, mezinárodní úmluvy i zvyklosti jdou stranou a stejná argumentace, jaká je vytvořila, nyní slouží k ospravedlnění jakýchkoli prostředků, potřebných k získání údajného tajemství. Práva sobecké menšiny musí ustoupit zájmům lidstva jako celku!
Politické strany i hnutí se předhánějí, kdo z nich získá více zásluh na daru dlouhověkosti pro všechny, komu z nich takovýto slib vynese více politického kapitálu a tím i momentální moci...
Až na to, že žádné takové tajemství, které by bylo možné podivínské hrstce zabavit, neexistuje. A zastavit již jednou rozjetou mašinerii nelze...

Letadla faraonů
V říši egyptských faraonů létala malá bezmotorová letadla už před 2300 lety. Modely vzdušných dopravních prostředků s deltovitými křídly, obvyklými u raketoplánů, byly objeveny v hrobech jihoamerických panovníků starých 1500 let. Konkrétní popisy starověkých letadel je možné nalézt také ve staroindických písemnostech. Rovněž balony pluly vzduchem už v biblických časech za panování krále Šalomouna. Autoři testovali veškeré nalezené artefakty pod dohledem odborníků z brémské univerzity a zhotovili modely, které pak vskutku mohly létat.
