The Young Fur Traders
Follows the adventures of a young man called Charles Kennedy. Loosely autobiographical account of Ballantyne's own time with the Hudson's Bay Company in Canada. Its success prompted a series of excellent stories of adventure for the young with which this prolific Scottish author's name is popularly associated. In the very center of the great continent of North America, far removed from the abodes of civilized men, and about twenty miles to the south of Lake Winnipeg, exists a colony composed of Indians, Scotsmen, and French-Canadians, which is known by the name of Red River Settlement. Although far removed from the civilized world, and containing within its precincts much that is savage and very little that is refined, Red River is quite a populous paradise, as compared with the desolate, solitary establishments of the Hudson's Bay Fur Company.

The Country Beyond
A glass of wine once lost a kingdom, a nail turned the tide of a mighty battle, and a woman's smile once upon a time destroyed the homes of a million people. Thus have trivial things played their potent parts in the history of human lives; yet these things Peter did not know.

Lacná kniha Máte to v hlavě aneb magie mysli (-90%)
"Tahle knížka vám poradí, co dělat, abyste v životě našli to, co hledáte, a to i v tom případě, že zatím ještě vůbec netušíte, co by to mělo být," slibuje novodobá čarodějka Ivana Tischlerová hned na úvod a věřte nebo ne, vypadá to, že bude mít pravdu.
Už i věda totiž začíná připouštět fakt, že naše mysl ovlivňuje okolní realitu víc, než si zatím dokážeme představit. Zjednodušeně řečeno, náš úspěch v praktickém životě je přímo závislý na stavu naší mysli. A pokud se nám podaří ten úžasný stroj na štěstí, který máme zabudovaný v hlavě, nastartovat, už ho nikdy nic nezastaví. Pomůže vám zbavit se nemocí (nebo alespoň nestonat tak často), najít vnitřní klid a rovnováhu, vyrazit rovnou cestou ke splnění svých snů.
V knize se dočtete o nezbytné teorii čili jak, co a proč funguje, ale samozřejmě si zkusíte i "kouzlení" v praxi. Naučíte se rozvinout smysly, intuici, představivost a další vlastnosti, které obvykle považujeme za "nadpřirozené", a naplno využít vlastního skrytého potenciálu.
"Myslím si, že studium magie nemusí být jen velkou vědou zasvěcenou zamračeným mágům s vážným výrazem, kterým by asi popraskal obličej, kdyby se trochu usmáli...

A bástya - The Castle

Egy hadseregnyi biztonsági őr strázsál az udvaron, sőt, még a falakon belül is. Az ösztöneim azt súgják, a veszélyt mégis közelebb kell keresnem. Nem tudom, Gabriel a pártfogóm vagy ellenségem, a háza az én védelmező bástyám vagy a börtönöm. Nincs hová mennem. Senki sem maradt, akiben bízhatnék. A múlt elől azonban nincs menekvés. Rettegek, hogy megtalál az, aki egész életemben a sarkamban volt. Vajon Gabriel lesz a megmentőm?” A Bástya az Endgame-trilógia befejező kötete: bosszúról, csábításról, szerelmi játszmákról és az igaz szerelemről.

Lacná kniha Prabhupáda (-70%)
Tato působivá kniha Satsvarúpy dáse Gósvámího velice poutavě hovoří o životě a učení zcela neobyčejného světce, učence a duchovního učitele moderní doby – A.Č. Bhaktivédanty Svámího Prabhupády. Hnutí, které založil, je známo prakticky po celém světě, ale sám jako osobnost zůstal bez vlastních ambicí pouze v pozadí.
Když Šríla Prabhupáda poprvé potkal svého duchovního učitele, Bhaktisiddhántu Sarasvatího Gósvámího, ihned jím byl požádán, aby rozšiřoval učení Čaitanji Maháprabhua v anglickém jazyce. To, čeho Bhaktivédanta Svámí později dosáhl, pak překvapilo celý svět. V posledních deseti letech svého života, navzdory pokročilému věku, kdy většina lidí myslí už jen na odpočinek, dvanáctkrát procestoval celou zeměkouli, aby ku prospěchu všech lidí předal celému světu poklad védské moudrosti i kultury.
Ať už z pohledu sociologického, filozofického nebo náboženského studia je životní příběh Šríly Prabhupády jedinečným příspěvkem celému lidstvu.
Čtenáře překvapí osobní vlastnosti Šríly Prabhupády – jeho cílevědomost, opravdová pokora a hluboká duchovnost… Život Šríly Prabhupády, jak je zde představen, je ztělesněním ideálu, který předložil k následování i všem ostatním. Ve věku všudypřítomného pokrytectví a cynizmu je to právě takový druh vzácného příkladu, který potřebujeme.

Talent : How to Identify Energizers, Creatives, and Winners Around the World
The art and science of talent search: how to spot, assess, woo, and retain highly talented people.
How do you find talent with a creative spark? To what extent can you predict human creativity, or is human creativity something irreducible before our eyes, perhaps to be spotted or glimpsed by intuition, but unique each time it appears?
Obsessed with these questions, renowned economist Tyler Cowen and venture capitalist and entrepreneur Daniel Gross set out to study the art and science of finding talent at the highest level: the people with the creativity, drive, and insight to transform an organization and make everyone around them better.
Cowen and Gross guide the reader through the major scientific research areas relevant for talent search, including how to conduct an interview, how much to weight intelligence, how to judge personality and match personality traits to jobs, how to evaluate talent in online interactions such as Zoom calls, why talented women are still undervalued and how to spot them, how to understand the special talents in people who have disabilities or supposed disabilities, and how to use delegated scouts to find talent. Talent appreciation is an art, but it is an art you can improve through study and experience.
Identifying underrated, brilliant individuals is one of the simplest ways to give yourself an organizational edge, and this is the book that will show you how to do that. Talent is both for people searching for talent and for those who wish to be searched for, found, and discovered.

The New Testament, King James Version
The Authorized King James Version is an English translation of the Christian Bible began in 1604 and completed in 1611 by the Church of England. A primary concern of the translators was to produce a Bible that would be appropriate, dignified and resonant in public reading. Hence, in a period of rapid linguistic change, they avoided contemporary idioms; tending instead towards forms that were already slightly archaic, like "verily" and "it came to pass". While the Authorized Version remains among the most widely sold, modern critical New Testament translations differ substantially from the Authorized Version in a number of passages, primarily because they rely on source manuscripts not then accessible to (or not then highly regarded by) early 17th Century Biblical Scholarship.In most of the world the Authorized Version has passed out of copyright and is freely reproduced. This is not the case in the United Kingdom where the rights to the Authorized Version are held by the British Crown under perpetual Crown copyright. [Source: Wikipedia]

Told by the Death's Head
The hero of our romantic narrative, or better, narratives, was a constable. Not one of that useful class appointed, in our day, to direct the vehicles which pass over the two approaches to the suspension-bridge in Budapest; rather, he was the chief of a body whose task it is to provoke disturbance, who win all the more praise and glory the greater the havoc and destruction they create. In a word: he was a gunner.
The chronicle of his exploits gives only his Christian name, which was "Hugo."
In the year 1688, when the French beleaguered Coblentz, Hugo had charge of the battery in the outermost tower of Ehrenbreitstein fortress—the "Montalembert Tower."
Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein are opposite one another on the banks of the Rhine, as are Pesth and Ofen; and the Blocksberg looks down on us, as does the citadel of Ehrenbreitstein on Coblentz.
The city, which is strongly fortified on all sides, had become accustomed to being beleaguered—now by the French, now by the Prussians; today by the Austrians, tomorrow by the Swedes.
On the occasion of which I write, Coblentz was under a terrible fire from the French guns, which created great havoc in that portion of the city known as the "Old Town."
