Out of the Light
Jan Mirocek used to be a hunter. A very special hunter. Once, he had hunted the things that haunt the forests of the night in every culture of the world. The kallikantzari of Greece. The loup-garou of France. The kitsune of Japan. Were-beasts. Shape-shifters.Until one night, Jan made a mistake, and the woman he loved died. Now he shuns the dark and his own past, hiding in a big city. For the were-beasts never come here. Or do they? People are dying in Toronto, and all signs point to a shifter.But can Jan conquer his own fears to track down the killer? And what kind of shape shifter would be at home in a modern city?"A creature-hunter tale that kept me guessing until the very last paragraphs. I was on edge throughout the whole story!" —Melissa Minners, Global Pop Culture reviews"A police officer skilled in hunting supernatural entities encounters a new breed of shape-shifter specifically adapted to the urban environment." — Innsmouth Free Press

Reflections on the Revolution in France (EN)
Written in the form of a letter to a Frenchman, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France is an impassioned attack on the French Revolution and its hasty destruction of the Church, the old elites and the Crown. Burke tackles the new republic and its allegiance to principles such as liberty and equality, as well as its failure to recognise the complexities of human nature, society, and wisdom accumulated over time, contending that gradual change and adjustment is far better than immediate upheaval.

May We Borrow Your Language?: How English Steals Words from All Over the World (EN)
The English language that is spoken by one billion people around the world is a linguistic mongrel, its vocabulary a diverse mix resulting from centuries of borrowing from other tongues. From the Celtic languages of pre-Roman Britain to Norman French; from the Vikings' Old Scandinavian to Persian, Sanskrit, Algonquian, Cantonese and Hawaiian – amongst a host of others – we have enriched our modern language with such words as tulip, slogan, doolally, avocado, moccasin, ketchup and ukulele.

Yama: The Pit
A novel about prostitution in Moscow.From the introduction:It must not be thought, despite its locale, that Kuprin’s “Yama” is a picture of Russian prostitution solely; it is intrinsically universal. All that is necessary is to change the kopecks into cents, pennies, sous or pfennings; compute the versts into miles or metres; Jennka may be Eugenie or Jeannette; and for Yama, simply read Whitechapel, Montmartre, or the Barbary Coast. That is why “Yama” is a “tremendous, staggering, and truthful book— a terrific book.” It has been called notorious, lurid— even oleographic. So are, perhaps, the picaresques of Murillo, the pictorial satires of Hogarth, the bizarreries of Goya...

Nová kniha Josefa Habase Urbana, autora Habermannova mlýna a dalších bestsellerů, je na světě.
"Zloděj psů"
Deset dobrodružných povídek o síle vztahu psa a člověka ilustroval legendární malíř Rychlých šípů, Marko Čermák. "Pojí nás s nimi místo a čas, už více než 10.000 let, " říká Josef Urban. "Od doby kamenné jdeme bok po boku a někdy taky proti sobě."
"Někdy je to "psina", jakou bych od autora válečné a dobrodružné literatury nečekala, jindy mi stydla krev v žilách, " říká Jana Vávrová, nakladatelka knihy a dodává, " "Zloděj" mne opravdu nadchnul, ale ještě víc popudil, a tak jsem si pořídila psa, abych sama zjistila, jestli je všechno to, o čem Josef Urban píše, možné."
Milovníci zvířat, romantiky a hlavně pejskaři, šiřte všemi směry - pro krásu a slávu potomka vlka, vždyť PROTO EXISTUJEME SPOLU.

Brigands of the Moon
Gregg Haljan was aware that there was a certain danger in having the giant spaceship Planetara stop off at the moon to pick up Grantline's special cargo of moon ore. For that rare metal--invaluable in keeping Earth's technology running--was the target of many greedy eyes. But nevertheless he hadn't figured on the special twist the clever Martian brigands would use. So when he found both the ship and himself suddenly in their hands, he knew that there was only one way in which he could hope to save that cargo and his own secret--that would be by turning space-pirate himself and paying the Brigands of the Moon back in their own interplanetary coin.
