Invader
INVADER is a Sunday Times bestseller from Simon Scarrow (author of the bestsellers BRITANNIA and CENTURION) and T. J. Andrews, co-author of the bestselling INVADER. Featuring the Roman army officer Figulus in first-century Britannia, INVADER is not to be missed by readers of Conn Iggulden and Bernard Cornwell. Roman Britain, AD 44. The land is far from tamed. A puppet king is doing little to calm the hatred of the native tribes. Fighting is in Optio Horatius Figulus' blood. His Celtic ancestry gives him the toughness essential for survival. That toughness will be tested to the very limit when he is sent on a mission deep in hostile territory. And Figulus knows that, even utterly crushed in battle, their warriors routed and the Druids driven from their hill forts, the tribesmen of Britannia will sooner die than surrender. Figulus fought alongside Macro and Cato in Simon Scarrow's bestselling Eagles of the Empire series. In INVADER, he stands alone. INVADER has previously been published in five separate ebook novellas.

Hearts of Stone
The fierce courage of the men and women of the Greek Resistance is brought to vivid life in Sunday Times bestseller Simon Scarrow's powerful novel of World War II. 'Gripping...[a] moving narrative of friendships broken by war and betrayal' Sunday Times 1938. A perfect summer on the Greek island of Lefkas for three young people untroubled by the simmering politics of Europe. Peter, visiting from Germany while his father leads an archaeological dig, has become close friends with locals Andreas and Eleni. As the world slides towards conflict and Peter is forced to leave, they swear to meet again. 1943: Andreas and Eleni have joined the partisan forces resisting the German invasion. Peter has returned - now a dangerously well-informed enemy intelligence officer. A friendship formed in peace will turn into a desperate battle between enemies sworn to sacrifice everything for the countries that they love...'Simon Scarrow has done it again: another barnstorming book that speaks not only of the horror of war, but the ultimate heroism and self-sacrifice of those caught up in it. The glory of Simon's books is that they can be read on so many levels: yes, they are thrilling in its truest sense, there are characters we care about deeply and they are under constant threat. But alongside this are the vignettes of a life clearly viewed, the threads of sharp social observation that set his historical thrillers apart from the greater mass.' Manda Scott

Maľovanie podľa čísel Jack Sparrow 40x50cm Zuty
Náročnosť: Jednoduché
Orientácia: Na výšku
Počet farieb: 21
Počet objektov: 1030Maľovanie podľa čísel najviac pripomína maľovanky, ako ich poznáme z detstva. Samozrejme, že nie úplne rovnaké. Miesto farebného vzoru, ktorý by ste mali obkresliť, dostanete plátno s očíslovanými plôškami. Každé číslo zodpovedá konkrétnej farbe, ktorú použijete na vyfarbenie danej plôšky.
Ide vlastne o dobrodružstvo, keď z pôvodne bezfarbého plátna s nejakými čiarami a číslami vznikne trpezlivým úsilím naozajstný obraz, ktorý sa nebudete hanbiť zavesiť ako dekoráciu do bytu.
Pri maľovaní budete okrem šablóny potrebovať ešte pár ďalších vecí: farby, štetce (a možno stojan, aby sa Vám dobre pracovalo.) To všetko Vám, samozrejme, dodáme v súpravách na maľovanie podľa čísel. Ku každému vybranému motívu Vám dodáme presne tie farby, ktoré budete potrebovať.
Maľovanie podľa čísel uvoľňuje, zmierňuje stres, rozvíja kreativitu, učí trpezlivosti a koncentrácii. Tiež rozvíja manuálne schopnosti, zlepšuje presnosť pohybov a podporuje ich koordináciu, predchádza degeneratívnym zmenám mozgu u seniorov.
Súprava obsahuje:
• 100% ľanové plátno potlačené vzorom a očíslovaním. Ide o kvalitné talianske plátno, špeciálne určené na maľovanie.
• Plátno je už profesionálne napnuté do rámu (smrekové drevo, kvalitne vyrobené a pevne lepené).
• Vymaľovaný vzor (predlohu), ktorý vám pomôže správne namaľovať obraz.
• Súpravu 3ks nylonových štetcov s rôznou hrúbkou štetín, aby ste zvládli vymaľovať väčšie, a aj menšie plochy. Štetce dobre absorbujú vodu vďaka použitým materiálom. Štetiny štetcov sú upevnené do kovovej koncovky a štetec tak nestráca jednotlivé vlákna štetín.
• Súpravu kvalitných akrilových farieb namiešaných špeciálne pre zvolený vzor, kde má každé číslo svoju už namiešanú farbu. Farby sú netoxické a šetrné k životnému prostrediu a časom nevyblednú.

A caesarok napja

Claudius halott. Nero császár került hatalomra, ám féltestvére, Britannicus is igényt tart a trónra. Rómában hatalmas a zűrzavar.
Cato praefectus csak a katonák egyszerű életére vágyik, azonban mindkét rivális oldal felfigyel rá, és mindent megtesznek, hogy maguk mellé állítsák. Catónak be kell szállnia a fondorlatos játszmába, segítségül híva az egyetlen embert, akiben megbízik: hűséges barátját, Macro centuriót.
Ahogy az összeesküvés egyre növekszik, a hatalmasságok sakkfigurákként mozgatják a legionariusokat és a praetorianus gárdistákat. Vajon meg lehet még akadályozni a polgárháborút? A Birodalom jövője Cato kezében van...

A hódító
Inkább a halál, mint a megadás
Britannia provincia, Kr. u. 44.
Caratacus lázadását leverték, de a tartományt még nem sikerült leigázni. A törzsek gyűlölik a rómaiak bábkirályát, és nem fogadják el Róma uralmát.
A harc Horatius Figulus optio vérében van. Bajtársai gyakran gúnyolják kelta származása miatt, mégis annak köszönheti az életben maradáshoz elengedhetetlen keménységét. Egy, az ellenséges terület mélyére indított küldetés pedig a végsőkig próbára teszi ezt a keménységet, illetve Figulus és az emberei bátorságát.
Figulus a kelták gondolkodásmódját is érti. Tudja, hogy hiába zúzzák őket szét a csatákban, hiába fűzik rabláncra a harcosokat, hiába űzik ki a druidákat az erődjeikből, Britannia törzsei inkább meghalnak, mintsem behódoljanak.
Figulus Macro és Cato oldalán küzdött Simon Scarrow nagy sikerű Római sas-sorozatában. A hódítóban egyedül veszi fel a harcot.

Invictus - Egy vakmerő római kalandjai a hadseregben
HISPANIÁT MEGSZÁLLTÁK, DE MÉG NEM HÓDÍTOTTÁK MEG, ÉS TOVÁBBRA IS VESZÉLYES KIHÍVÁST JELENT RÓMA SZÁMÁRA
Kr. u. 54. A római hadsereg katonáinak egyre nagyobb, a Földközi-tengertől az Északi-tengerig, az Atlanti-óceántól a Nílusig kiterjedő birodalom határait kell megvédeniük. Róma könyörtelenül rákényszeríti a leigázott népekre az uralmát, legiói a világ leghatékonyabb és legagresszívabb haderejét alkotják.
Ennek a seregnek két harcedzett veteránja Cato praefectus és Macro centurio, akiket többévi harc után rendelnek vissza Britanniából Rómába.
Csak kevés időt tölthetnek a forrongó, veszélyesen átpolitizált városban: hamarosan útnak kell indulniuk a praetorianus gárdával a lázongó Hispaniába, ahol a római uralommal szembeni ellenszenvet csak tovább fokozza a helyi törzsek közötti keserű versengés. A két régi jó barát és bajtársaik soha nem kerültek még szembe ilyen kihívással - ráadásul olyan földön, amely meghódíthatatlannak tartja magát...

A halál mezői
1809
Wellington earlje és Napóleon Bonaparte, Franciaország császára már bizonyították kiemelkedő hadvezéri képességeiket. A két, életre szóló ellenség szilárdan hisz abban, hogy saját serege képes bármilyen ellenfél legyőzésére. A háborúban azonban bármi megtörténhet, és soha senki nem lehet biztos a győzelemben.
Miközben Wellington újabb sikereket ér el a franciákkal szemben Spanyolországban, Napóleon kudarccal szembesül Bécs alatt. Katasztrofális oroszországi hadjárata és a megszégyenítő vereség Lipcsénél fáradt sereget hagy maga után, ő azonban tábornokai tanácsa ellenére is folytatja a harcot.
Napóleon hatalmának hanyatlásával párhuzamosan az immár hercegi rangra emelt Wellington tökéletes helyzetbe kerül ahhoz, hogy szétzúzza a zsarnokot. Napóleon képtelen feladni a harcot, s a két óriás még egyszer, utoljára találkozik Waterloo véres csataterén...
A halál mezői Simon Scarrow az európai történelem legnagyobb alakjai közé tartozó Napóleon és Wellington életét bemutató magával ragadó drámai sorozatának befejező kötete.
