To Save the Man
In September of 1890, the academic year begins at the Carlisle School, a military-style boarding school for Indians in Pennsylvania, founded and run by Captain Richard Henry Pratt. Pratt considers himself a champion of Native Americans. His motto, ''To save the man, we must kill the Indian,'' is severely enforced in both classroom and dormitory: Speak only English, forget your own language and customs, learn to be white. As the young students navigate surviving the school, they begin to hear rumours of a ''ghost dance'' amongst the tribes of the west - a ceremonial dance aimed at restoring the Native People to power, and running the invaders off their land. As the hope and promise of the ghost dance sweeps across the Great Plains, cynical newspapers seize upon the story to whip up panic among local whites. The US government responds by deploying troops onto lands that had been granted to the Indians. It is an act that seems certain to end in slaughter. As news of these developments reaches Carlisle, each student, no matter what their tribe, must make a choice: to follow the white man''s path, or be true to their own way of life...''(A) powerful and sincere depiction of Native American history''

Antonius és Kleopátra
Lehet, hogy nem az a történet, amire számítunk, de ugyanolyan lenyűgöző, mint kettejük mítosza.
Antonius és Kleopátra szerelmi viszonya az ókori világ egyik leghíresebb története, amelyet számtalan regényben, színdarabban és filmben feldolgoztak már. Antonius mint a Római Birodalmat irányító triumvirátus egyik tagja, korának talán legbefolyásosabb embere volt; míg Kleopátra (korábban Julius Caesar szeretője) Róma legfontosabb provinciájának, Egyiptomnak gyönyörű királynője. A kultúrák ütközése, a hatalmi politika és a személyes szenvedély ellenállhatatlan témának bizonyult sokak számára. De e történetmesélések során tucatnyi mítosz született.
Ebben a műben, amely kizárólag ókori forrásokra, valamint régészeti bizonyítékokra épül, Adrian Goldsworthy feltárja a híres párral kapcsolatos tényeket. Az egyiptomi öltözéket viselő Kleopátra képe egyszerűen téves; görögnek született, és sokkal jobban ismerte a római kultúrát, mint azt a legtöbb történész elismeri. Hasonlóképpen Marcus Antonius sem a legendák szélhámos katonája, akit egy egzotikus nő iránti szerelme sodort végveszélybe - elsősorban politikus volt, és soha nem engedte, hogy Kleopátra diktálja a politikáját.

Doba pohanských rituálů, prvních kostelů a zrodu legend. Zde se odvíjí příběh druidské kněžky Eimhir. Jejíma očima sledujeme střet zcela odlišných tradic a zájmů uvnitř jedné země, který má nevyhnutelně udat směr budoucímu vývoji a starý svět navždy proměnit.
Jako vzdělaná druidka se Eimhir chopí příležitosti ovlivnit běh dění a pokouší se zachovat dávné dědictví své země ve stále bouřlivějším víru událostí. Je však čím dál obtížnější rozlišit spojence od nepřátel, dostát přísahám i závazkům a rozhodnout se, na čí straně stát. Jaké mají bohové s Britannií záměry? A lze tento boj lidskými silami vůbec vyhrát?
Románový debut Diany Míčkové Ostrov stínů je historickou ságou, čerpající z autorčiných odborných znalostí a zároveň velice čtivě napsanou bezmála básnickým jazykem.
