Guild Wars - Ascalon kísértetei
250 évvel ezelőtt Ascalont felégették...
Adelbern király kétségbeesésében, hogy megóvja országát a bestiális charrok mindent elözönlő hordájától, megidézte a mindent lebíró Gyiloktüzet, hogy visszaverje a támadókat. Ám a mágia kétélű kard is lehet: a Gyiloktűz elégette mind a charrokat, mind az embereket. A charrok hullái még füstölögtek, amikor a megölt ascaloniak ismét életre keltek. Királyuk haragja azonban kísértetekké változtatta őket, akiknek az a feladata, hogy a birodalmat védelmezzék... Mindörökké. Az egykor hatalmas királyság korábbi dicsőségének szellemjárta árnyává torzult.
Évszázadokkal később Ascalon leszármazottait, akiket Krytába száműztek, minden oldalról ostromolják. Jennah királynő, hogy megmentse az emberi fajt, megpróbál egyezségre jutni a gyűlölt charrokkal. Ám egy akadály még fennáll: a charr légiók addig nem írják alá a fegyvernyugvást, míg legnagyobb becsben tartott kincsük, Kán-Úr Karma elő nem kerül a bukott Ascalon romjai közül.
Így aztán kalandozók szedett-vedett csapata, akiket saját kísérteteik kínoznak, útnak indul a szellemjárta, háború dúlta vidéken, hogy megszerezzék a Karmot. Az ereklye nélkül nincs remény arra, hogy béke legyen az embere és a charrok között - ám az Ascalont uraló élőholt király nem mond le róla könnyen, és nem mindenki akarja a békét sem!

Plaisir en bouche
Il sait tout cuisiner, tout faire, le cru comme le cuit, de la pointe du couteau, sur le gril ou dans le bouillant, tout, depuis la pierre saupoudrée sur les plats jusqu'aux chairs les plus inattendues... C'est un génie. Il ne connaît pas de limite. Les plaisirs de la table, avec lui, deviennent une nouvelle frontire dépasser. On dit de Balthazar, trouvé par un commissaire dans une rue de Paris, qu'il est né dans une huître. De ces coquilles gris sale qui donnent parfois des perles. Son restaurant, symbole et lieu de pouvoir, attire les puissants. Des courants de pensées s'y développent. Des complots pourraient s'y fourbir dans la folie et les rves permis par le décor et l'extravagance parfaite des plats. Balthazar est un autodidacte brillant, un orphelin venu de nulle part. Un homme sans attache que son parfum de liberté rend dangereux... Plaisir en bouche est l'équivalent, pour les arts de la table, du Parfum de Süskind pour les odeurs. Un plaisir quatre étoiles.

Iris
John Bayley's account of his long and loving marriage to the great novelist Iris Murdoch takes us on a journey, from their love affair's comically inauspicious beginnings in the Oxford of the early fifties (Bayley courted Iris on account of her unchallenging plain looks and their first date consisted of a revolting dinner followed by a disastrous dance when Iris sprained her ankle) to its slow and painful closure when the onset of Alzheimer's more than forty years later, which should be devastating. Yet as Bayley charts the gradual dissolution of Iris's remarkable intellect side by side with the detail of their gloriously eccentric and profoundly satisfying life together, what emerges is the complex portrait of an enigmatic and brilliant woman and of a marriage of quite extraordinary, unforced happiness, and some remarkable insight into the richly mysterious symbolism of Iris Murdoch's novels. Wry, intelligent, and unexpectedly hilarious, IRIS is an unforgettable inquiry into the nature of love and identity and a uniquely moving articulation of loss.

Uncle Tom´s Cabin (Oxford World´s Classics)
`So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this great war!' These words, said to have been uttered by Abraham Lincoln, signal the celebrity of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The first American novel to become an international best-seller, Stowe's novel charts the progress from slavery to freedom of fugitives who escape the chains of American chattel slavery, and of a martyr who transcends all earthly ties. At the middle of the nineteenth-century, the names of its characters - Little Eva, Topsy, Uncle Tom - were renowned. A hundred years later, `Uncle Tom' still had meaning, but, to Blacks everywhere it had become a curse. This edition firmly locates Uncle Tom's Cabin within the context of African-American writing, the issues of race and the role of women. Its appendices include the most important contemporary African-American literary responses to the glorification of Uncle Tom's Christian resignation as well as excerpts from popular slave narratives, quoted by Stowe in her justification of the dramatization of slavery, Key to Uncles Tom's Cabin.

Modern Ireland: A Very Short Introduction
This is a book about the Irish Question, or more specifically about Irish Questions. The term has become something of a catch-all, a convenient way to encompass numerous issues and developments which pertain to the political, social, and economic history of modern Ireland. The Irish Question has of course changed: one of the main aims of this book is to explore the complicated and shifting nature of the Irish Question and to assess what it has meant to various political minds and agendas. No other issue brought down as many nineteenth-century governments and no comparable twentieth-century dilemma has matched its ability to frustrate the attempts of British cabinets to find a solution; this inability to find a lasting answer to the Irish Question is especially striking when seen in the context of the massive shifts in British foreign policy brought about by two world wars, decolonization, and the cold war. Senia Paseta charts the changing nature of the Irish Question over the last 200 years, within an international political and social historical context.
The Real Rule of Four
You've read "The Rule of Four", now read about its source..."The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason is a runaway international bestseller, topping the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. But the foundation of "The Rule of Four", as all its readers know, is a little-known text from the fifteenth century, the "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili". Lurid, dreamlike, extremely erotic and written in many different languages and codes, the exact meaning of the Hypnerotomachia has eluded scholars for centuries. Now, in this indispensable, concise and thoroughly entertaining book, Professor Joscelyn Godwin, the translator of the first complete English edition of the Hypnerotomachia, guides the reader through its labyrinthine pages and unlocks the secrets and mysteries within Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason's novel. He brings to life the worlds of both the Renaissance reader and the young Princeton undergraduate, setting both in the context of their time and place. Erudite and engaging, "The Real Rule of Four" is the perfect companion piece to "The Rule of Four". ""The Da Vinci Code" for people with brains" - "Independent".

Indočínou na kole
Jediným impulsem k této výpravě byla skutečnost, že jsem měl ve škole dva spolužáky z Vietnamu a oba dva to byli výborní a velmi chytří kluci. Tak jsem se rozhodl, že si jejich krajinu procestuji a poznám o trochu více než jen doposud z amerických válečných filmů. A také jsem si říkal, že když už budu tak daleko, nakouknu se i do dvou sousedních států – Kambodže a Laosu.
Tato cyklovýprava se uskutečnila v prosinci 2003 a bez nadsázky mohu říci, že to byla na zážitky a příhody bezkonkurenčně nejbohatší expedice, kterou jsem kdy prožil. Každý den mě čekalo nové a nové překvapení, byť to bylo někdy v danou chvíli i překvapení nemilé. Celou cestu jsem koukal s otevřenou pusou na exotiku kolem sebe, stejně tak jako místní koukali na mě. Občas jsem si připadal jako ve snu, neboť něco tak fantastického jsem nečekal ani v nejbujnějších představách. Dodnes všem říkám, že jestli chce někdo prožít „opravdovou“ exotiku, ať jede do Jižního Vietnamu nebo Kambodže. Stejně tak do dnešního dne tvrdím, že nejchutnější kuchyně, kterou jsem kdy ochutnal, byla právě ta jihovietnamská…

Horses living wild in nature, horses involved in sports, and working horses are topics in this opulent picture book—including, of course, horses that demonstrate their astonishing abilities in prominent places and in imposing images.
