Sebastianovi ovládají celé město. Pche, dost možná celý svět! Ale já z něj chtěla jen kousek, který by byl jen můj…
Takže když se má šéfka vydala „nalézt sebe samu“, chopila jsem šanci za pačesy a vrhla se do prostředí luxusu a výzev. A všechno šlo dobře, dokud jsem nenarazila na něj. Chlápka ve vedení. Scotta Sebastiana. Byl to arogantní floutek, sukničkář a dědic impéria, jehož rty mě nenechaly spát. A tenhle člověk mě chce ve své posteli stejně, jako si já přeju v ní skončit. Jenže pokud se to stane, odhalí prostou skutečnost – jsem podvodnice…

The Memoirs of General P. H. Sheridan, Volume I., Part 3
By 9 o'clock on the morning of September 22 my command took up a position within the heavy line of intrenchments at Chattanooga, the greater part of which defenses had been thrown up since the army commenced arriving there the day before. The enemy, having now somewhat recovered from the shock of the recent battle, followed carefully, and soon invested us close into our lines with a parallel system of rifle-pits. He also began at once to erect permanent lines of earthworks on Missionary Ridge and to establish himself strongly on Lookout Mountain. He then sent Wheeler's cavalry north of the Tennessee, and, aided greatly by the configuration of the ground, held us in a state of partial siege, which serious rains might convert into a complete investment. The occupation of Lookout Mountain broke our direct communication with Bridgeport-our sub-depot—and forced us to bring supplies by way of the Sequatchie Valley and Waldron's Ridge of the Cumberland Mountains, over a road most difficult even in the summer season, but now liable to be rendered impassable by autumn rains. The distance to Bridgeport by this circuitous route was sixty miles, and the numerous passes, coves, and small valleys through which the road ran offered tempting opportunities, for the destruction of trains, and the enemy was not slow to take advantage of them. Indeed, the situation was not promising, and General Rosecrans himself, in communicating with the President the day succeeding the battle of Chickamauga, expressed doubts of his ability to hold the gateway of the Cumberland Mountains.

Roast Beef, Medium: The Business Adventures of Emma McChesney
Edna Ferber, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Show Boat and Giant, achieved her first great success with a series of stories she published in American Magazine between 1911 and 1913. The stories featured Emma McChesney: smart, savvy, stylish, divorced mother, and Midwest traveling sales representative for T. A. Buck's Featherloom skirts and petticoats. With one hand on her sample case and the other fending off advances from salesmen, hotel clerks, and other predators, Emma holds on tightly to her reputation: honest, hardworking, and able to outsell the slickest salesman. Like her compact bag of traveling necessities, Emma has her life boiled down to essentials: her work and her seventeen-year-old son, Jock. Her experience has taught her that it's best to stick to roast beef, medium--avoiding both physical and moral indigestion--rather than experiment with fancy sauces and exotic dishes. Yet she never shies away from a challenge, and her sharp instincts and common sense serve her well in dealing with the likes of Ed Meyer, a smooth-talking, piano-playing salesman; Blanche LeHay, prima donna of the Sam Levin Crackerjack Belles; and T. A. Buck Jr., the wet-behind-the-ears son of the founder of Featherloom.

Mapplethorpe The Complete Flowers
Flower are one of the most common subjects for artwork, yet Mapplethorpe excels at bringing something radically new to his flower photographs. Setting them in a universe apart, their poses are classical, reduced to a series of essential forms. Their compositions are profoundly simple but mask a complex dynamic. Each one is evocative, and almost always sexually charged. When photographed by Mapplethorpe, these delicate organisms become almost muscular in their raw power.
The Beauty of Ukraine
On 24 February 2022, the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, Russia's war of aggression has continued with increasing ferocity and destruction. Millions of Ukrainians have fled to neighbouring European countries. Ukraine is now a country caught between two stools: on the one hand, it is striving for rapprochement with NATO and the EU; on the other hand, good relations with Russia have also always been of fundamental importance to the country. This is a picture book about a landscape and its country, which is going through dark times and is currently moving the whole world. Here we take a look at the beauty and the integrity of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian landscape is characterised by steppes, plateaus, lowlands and mountains. The Lemurian Lake in the south of Ukraine impresses with its pink colour, as it has a higher salt content than the Dead Sea. The mountain ranges of the Carpathians in the west of Ukraine captivate with their wonderful wild beauty. The Ukrainian steppe is part of the great Eurasian steppe, which runs through several countries of Eastern Europe and used to be the home of the Cossacks. The country is also criss-crossed by numerous river courses, with the Dnieper, Donets and Dniester rivers, which flow into the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, being among the most significant.
Unparalleled scale, out-of-this-world colours and unique landscape shots from above make this book a tribute to the beauty of the Ukrainian landscape.

Habsburkové
Portrét pozoruhodné dynastie, která, ať se nám to líbí nebo ne, ovlivnila charakter naší vlasti, Evropy i celého světa. Začátky Habsburků v 15. století byly skromné, ale už během pár dekád získali nadvládu nad podstatnou částí Evropy, od dnešního Slovenska až po Španělsko. Jejich říše coby zdánlivě nesourodý spletenec větších a menších území, s různými soustavami výsad a zákonů a množstvím jazyků, vždycky působila jako něco chaotického a provizorního. Martyn Rady ukazuje, v čem spočívala neskutečná odolnost habsburského rodu: v přesvědčení, že jejich osudem je být obránci římskokatolické církve, strážci míru a průkopníky vzdělanosti. Habsburští panovníci byli neuvěřitelně rozmanití: najdeme mezi nimi vojevůdce i intelektuály, vládce chytré i hloupé, lenivé i přehnaně činorodé, spojovala je však představa o poslání jejich rodu. Ve střední Evropě jejich dominanci ukončila až první světová válka.

Filter - The Amalgamut 2LP
"The Amalgamut" je tretí štúdiový album americkej rockovej skupiny Filter, vydaný 30. júla 2002 vo vydavateľstve Reprise Records. Na rozdiel od ich prvých dvoch albumov Short Bus (1995) a Title of Record (1999), ktoré boli oba certifikované ako platinové, album sa zastavil pred dosiahnutím 100 000 predaných kópií, čiastočne kvôli tomu, že frontman Richard Patrick zrušil zo zdravotných dôvodov svoje hlavné turné. Album mal v rámci propagácie ešte vydané dva single: „Where Do We Go from Here“ a „American Cliché“. The Amalgamut bol posledným albumom s členmi skupiny Geno Lenardo, Frank Cavanagh a Steve Gillis, pričom Patrick založil kapelu Army of Any, keď sa dostali z rehabilitácie. Bol to posledný album Filter, ktorý vyšiel až o šesť rokov neskôr, keď Patrick zreformoval skupinu o nových členov a v roku 2008 vydal Anthems for the Damned.

Dívky z trajektu
Novinářka Nora Sandová má zálibu ve sbírání starých kufrů, a když jeden obzvláště podařený exemplář objeví v malé anglické vesničce, ani ve snu by ji nenapadalo, že krom nového úlovku dost možná natrefila i na pořádného sólokapra. Na těch starých polaroidových fotografií, které z něj vypadnou, se jí totiž od první chvíle něco nezdá… A pak si konečně vzpomene: ta dvě děvčata na fotkách jsou přece ty holky z dětského domova, co se před několika lety beze stopy ztratily na trajektu z Kodaně do Anglie! Když navíc na kufru objeví jmenovku, jež avizuje, že toto zavadlo dříve patřilo známému sériovému vrahovi Billu Hixovi, pustí se do pátrání v dávném případu, který nebyl nikdy vyřešen. Vynikající temná prvotina, která hned po vydání atakovala první příčky dánského žebříčku bestsellerů.

Bridgertonovi 6: Nečekaná láska
V životě každého se vyskytne nějaký přelom - okamžik tak úžasný, rychlý a beroucí dech, kdy člověk ví, že se jeho život navždy změnil. Pro Michaela Stirlinga, londýnského nechvalně proslulého hejska, ta chvíle nastala, když poprvé spatřil Francesku Bridgertonovou.
Celý život se honil za ženskými, ale nikdy nedovolil, aby se zmocnily jeho srdce. Pak ovšem stačil jediný pohled na Francesku a zamiloval se tak bezhlavě, že byl div, že se mu podařilo zůstat stát nohama na zemi. K Michaelově smůle však měla Francesca zůstat Bridgertonová pouhých šestatřicet hodin. Setkali se právě u večeře uspořádané na oslavu její blížící se svatby s Michaelovým bratrancem.
Jenže to bylo tehdy. Teď je z Michaela hrabě a Francesca je volná. MIchael se neodvažuje přiznat, že ji miluje - až do jedné nebezpečné noci, kdy se mu ve vší nevinonosti vrhne do náruče...

The Three Musketeers (Wordsworth Classics)
Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury A historical romance, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion
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.

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.
