The Country House Revisited
Monografie se věnuje literatuře spojené s anglickým venkovským sídlem, a to zejména dílům autorů 20. a 21. století, jako jsou E. M. Forster, Evelyn Waugh, Iris Murdoch, Alan Hollinghurst a Sarah Waters. Venkovské sídlo je nahlíženo v širším společenském a kulturním kontextu, včetně soudobého vývoje architektury. Šíře a rozmanitost literárních obrazů odráží rozrůznění fyzické podoby venkovského sídla a dovoluje zahrnout jak jeho menší varianty, tak i pozůstatky vznosných paláců na pokraji zničení. Interpretace v rámci soudobé prózy, architektury a poetiky prostoru umožňuje venkovskému sídlu, vzhledem k jeho výjimečným evokačním a soustředivým vlastnostem, akcentovat různé podoby bydlení. Následkem toho mohou být literární ztvárnění současně chápána jako předobrazy i odrazy soudobého žití.

A Philosophical Enquiry into the Sublime and Beautiful (EN)
In A Philosophical Enquiry. Edmund Burke sets out to define the nature of beauty and sublimity, and establish an objective criterion for discussing aesthetics. His definition of beauty as rooted in pleasure and sexuality, and the sublime in pain and survival, aligned him with the empiricists John Locke and David Hume, as he replaced the metaphysics of Plato’s aesthetics with a psychological and physiological perspective.

A Hundred Years Hence: The Expectations Of An Optimist
In this serious attempt to forecast the changes ahead in the 20th century from the year 1906, the author deals with the accelerating rate of scientific progress, housing, travel, population, business, pleasure, newspapers, utilization of the sea, science, education, religion, economics, and law. He describes his intentions in the following manner in his Preface:"The following was at first intended to be no more than an attempt to foresee the probable trend of mechanical invention and scientific discovery during the present century. But as the work took shape it was seen to involve a certain amount of what may be called moral conjecture, since the material progress of the new age could not very well be imagined without taking into account its mental characteristics. In these expectations of an optimist, a great ethical improvement of the civilised human race has been anticipated, and a rate of progress foreseen which perhaps no previous writers have looked for. Both in regard to moral development and material progress, it has been the aim of the author to predict nothing that the tendencies of existing movement do not justify us in expecting. "An attempt of this kind is exposed to facile criticism. It will be easy for objectors to signalise this or that expected invention as beyond scientific possibility, that or the other moral reform as fit only for Utopia. But those who will consent to perpend the enormous and utterly unforeseen advance of the nineteenth century will recognise the danger of limiting their anticipations concerning the possibilities of the twenty-first. A fanciful description in (I think) Addison's Spectator of an invention by which the movements of an indicator on a lettered dial were imagined to be reproduced on a similar dial at a distance, and employed as a means of communication, must have seemed wholly chimerical to its readers; and even as recently as fifty years ago, anyone who predicted the telephone would have been laughed at. When the principle of the accumulator was already discovered a very competent practical electrician told the writer that he need not worry himself much about the idea : there was not the least likelihood that electricity could ever be "bottled up in cisterns"! On the whole there is more likelihood of error in timidity than in boldness when we attempt to foresee what will be attained after the increasingly rapid movement of scientific progress during this twentieth century shall have gathered full force. "For the rest, criticism of this sort is disarmed, because the reader has been in any case invited to enter a realm of more or less pure imagination. No one can exactly know with what births, monstrous or beautiful, the future may teem. Admitting a certain point of view — that of almost unrestrained optimism — the predictions here offered will, it is believed, be found to be along the line of existing progress." No details of the author's life have been found on the Internet, but he seems to have been British since his preface is signed with a city in England, he makes references to London as well as to US cities, and he uses British spellings. This book was published in 1906 in the United States, so it is in the public domain in the United States, and perhaps elsewhere.

Behind the Net - A háló mögött - Élfestett
Ő a szexi, barátságtalan kapus, akibe bele voltam zúgva a középiskolában, és most én lettem a bennlakó asszisztense.
Miután az exem a zeneiparban sárba tiporta az álmaimat, betelt a pohár és elegem lett abból, hogy összetörjék a szívemet. Egy NHL játékos titkárnőjének lenni könnyű feladatnak tűnt, de Jamie Streicher körül semmi sem egyszerű. Ijesztően szexi, mogorva seggfej, aki ki nem állhat engem. És hatalmas az egója. Gondot jelent majd, hogy megőrizzük a hivatalos hangnemet, különösen akkor, amikor azt követeli, hogy költözzek hozzá.
De a barátságtalan felszín alatt meglepően édes és védelmező.
Amikor Jamie megtudja, milyen pocsék volt az exem az ágyban, a versengés szelleme feltámad, és Jamie bátorít mindenre, és elkényeztet minden lehetséges módon. A dalírásban jelentkező alkotói szikra? Visszanyertem megint, és ismét dalokat írok. A meccseken a trikóját hordom, lármás bulikra járok a csapattal és ismét bátor vagyok a színpadon - de közben beleszeretek Jamie-be.
Megeshet, hogy összetöri a szívemet, de talán akkor is megéri.
Through the Looking Glass (And What Alice Found There)
Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.

Egy boszorkány és egy nyomozó együtt ered egy sorozatgyilkos nyomába a viktoriánus Angliában.
Miután egy támadásban csaknem végzetes fejsérülést szenved, Ian Cameron magánnyomozóra eszméletlenül bukkannak rá London iszapos folyópartján. A zsebében többek között egy mestervarázsló véráztatta névjegykártyáját és egy mágikus zsebórát találnak.
Az elveszett emlékeit kutatva, Ian a ködös múltú Edwina és Mary Blackwood boszorkánynővérektől követel választ.
De ahogy a titkaikra lassan fény derül, hátborzongató rejtély tör felszínre London árnyékban megbúvó, sötét utcáinak mélyén.

A napvilágra kerülő nyomok összekapcsolnak egy kegyetlen gyilkosságsorozatot, egy eltűnt személyt és egy vérfagyasztógyanút, ami eltépheti a testvérek közti köteléket.
Közeledik a nyomozás vége - vajon Ian és Edwina lesz a következő áldozat?
