Silver & Blood


On a deadly mission to kill the mythical beast that has been haunting her woods, a desperate mage finds her fate intertwined with the handsome and powerful man who saves her in this dark and sexy romantasy – perfect for readers of Jennifer L. Armentrout, Callie Hart, and Holly Black. There’s something in the woods… When a vicious beast begins attacking her fellow villagers, Riela reluctantly agrees to enter the forbidden forest and kill the monster as she’s the only mage available – or so she thought. Untrained and barely armed, Riela is quickly overwhelmed when one beast turns into two. She fears her death is at hand until the unexpected arrival of a scarred, strikingly handsome man with gleaming moonlit magic changes her fate – and provides a rare opportunity to learn more about her own fickle power. After being rescued and healed from her fight in the forest, Riela awakens in a magical castle complete with a gorgeous library, a strange wolf, and the surly man who saved her life. She soon learns Garrick is both more powerful and far deadlier than a mere mortal mage –he’s a dangerous Etheri who has been locked out of his kingdom in Lohka for nearly a century, and his powers are weakening. Trapped in his castle and surrounded by the treacherous woods, the spark of attraction between Riela and Garrick slowly ignites into fiery desire. But the more they discover about Riela’s magic, the more suspicious Garrick grows of her identity. As they unravel the secrets and lies connecting Riela’s past to Garrick’s, the tenuous threads of trust between them start to fray. Because Riela’s life –or her death – might be the key to regaining everything Garrick has lost.

Tisíce rokov vládol v Pozemi mier. Až doteraz. Pred mnohými storočiami Dianna obetovala svoj smrteľný život, aby zachránila umierajúcu sestru.

Kaden pátra po dávno stratenej knihe, ktorá mu umožní otvoriť brány do iných svetov, vypustiť -krvilačných tvorov a ponoriť všetko do chaosu. Tieto brány kedysi zapečatil boh Samkiel, Ničiteľ svetov, ktorý sa teraz volá Liam a vedie život pustovníka. Netuší pritom, že jeden z jeho odvekých nepriateľov stále žije. Hoci sú Dianna a Liam zaprisahanými nepriateľmi, budú musieť zabudnúť na nezhody a spojiť sily, aby zachránili nielen svoj svet, ale celý vesmír. Vojna bohov a monštier sa blíži.

Ráadás


Régen rossz, ha egy könyvcím magyarázatra szorul. Ennél csak az rosszabb, ha nincs, aki megmagyarázza. Mivel a címet én találtam ki, ez a feladat kétségkívül rám vár. Nos, kedves olvasó, a cím úgy született, hogy néhány felnőtteknek szóló könyvem elnyerte az Önök tetszését. Tapsot ugyan nem hallottam, de leveleik, telefonhívásaik és a könyvek fogyása alapján mégis hallani véltem. Remélem, nem tévedtem. Így aztán az Önök biztatására kerekedett ki rövid írásaimból ez az új kötet. Ráadást, ugye, a koncerteken az előadóművészek szoktak adni, ha elég kitartóan tapsol a közönség. Én nem állok pódiumon, csak itthon kopogok öreg írógépemen, és nagyon örülök, ha tetszik, amit írok. Ha valakinek megy a késői busza, indul a vonata, vagy egyébként is elege volt, hát nyugodtan kászálódjék. A ráadás azé, aki kérte, aki várja. Fogadja szeretettel.

Ájlávjú


Kötelességem figyelmeztetni a kedves olvasót, a cím félrevezető. Nem szerelmes történeteket tartalmaz a kötet. Hanem? Az úgy van, hogy az ember időskorban már kevesebbet ügyintéz, szaladgál, nyüzsög. Inkább elgondolkozik ezen-azon, ír, írogat, így a századvégen, ezredelőn. Különösen, ha írónak hiszi magát. Aztán összegyűlik egy kötetre való. De miért jut eszébe éppen ez a cím? Mert a tévésorozatok, az angolszász nyelvterületen készült filmek jóvoltából angolul gyakran hallja. Magyarul csak szeretné hallani. De valahogy hiánycikk. Még a falfirkákon is többnyire angolul olvasható, hogy ,,I love Brigi - Karesz". Azonkívül az angol nyelvű vallomás nemcsak egyes számban szeret, hanem többes számban is. Akár a kedves olvasó is magára veheti. Ha akarja. Rosszkedvet oszlató humort, szeretetből fakadó türelmet, megértést kínálok annak, aki vevő rá.

Ze života britského psychiatra Proč by se někdo z vlastní vůle rozhodl, že se stane psychiatrem? Opravdu se dají v učebnicích medicíny najít řešení na zpackané lidské životy? Mohou citliví pacienti dostat potřebnou péči, když na psychiatrii chybí personál, nemocniční lůžka a někdy i vhodná léčba?

Půjčovna loutek


Jednoho dne dostane XY, vypravěčka příběhů, spisovatelka, která žije v Indii, balíček z Prahy. Je v něm rukopis románu Půjčovna loutek, ve kterém vystupují dva hrdinové podivného jména: Pepe a Puppi. Kdo jsou a jaké jsou jejich osudy? Už jako dítě Pepe pochopil, že hmotná realita světa je jiná, než jak se nám jeví: každý atom je hlavně prázdný prostor. Tento objev ho stále pronásleduje. Co když jsou „prázdná místa“ možné styčné body s jinou, příští existencí? Dvě osoby ho ovlivnily – stárnoucí redaktor Ben a legendární geograf z Kroměříže Ferdinand Stoliczka. Při cestě za poznáním – od moravského blázince přes Prahu, Argentinu nebo Indii – má Pepe průvodkyni, kterou je půvabná Puppi, stejně jako on od dětství trochu šílená: má strach z hadrových panenek, z nichž se sypou piliny. Není přece rozdíl mezi hračkami a lidmi, kteří jsou ve skutečnosti jen loutkami pro různé životní role! Tragikomické příhody lemují fantastickou trasu, po níž jde Pepe z rodné Moravy až ke hrobu slavného krajana v Himálaji. Tam teprve zjistí, že celý život je vyrovnávání a smíření s koncem pozemské pouti a příprava na změnu. Román ještě nekončí, přestože jeho autor opustil tento svět. Spisovatelka XY se totiž rozhodne příběh dopsat. Jeho závěrečná část je pro čtenáře vzrušujícím a překvapujícím vyústěním dramatu.

Nostalgie si bere vás


Dneska se lidi sypou v podstatě na každém rohu nebo v tramvaji. Když už se ale sesypete, záleží hlavně na tom, jak vás znovu uplácají. Jestli vás teda pískaři vůbec seberou. S hlavním hrdinou beze jména – komu tady záleží na jméně? – procházíme městem, kde si domy mezi sebou vyřizují účty jadrnou wasserněmčinou, dělníci v ranních tramvajích zvrací písek, zatímco se trmácí za dřinou do továren, a v noci se k vám v posteli přivine cizí bytost. Z tohohle vyšinutého místa se dá utéct jen pomocí alkoholu nebo něčeho silnějšího a nebezpečnějšího jako láska.

Rachel


This remarkable book is the story of the author''s mother, Rachel, a girl born in the Jewish Quarter of Damascus, who in 1927 wins a scholarship to study in Versailles to become a teacher with the Alliance Israelite Universelle. Posted to Baghdad, she meets Victor, a young man from a wealthy Iraqi Jewish family, fresh from study in Germany.The book follows their relationship, through the enormous and appalling upheavals of the twentieth century. The Holocaust is at first only a terrifying rumour to Syrian and Iraqi Jews, whose immediate problems result from the rise, following the collapse of the Ottoman rule, of a predominantly Muslim Arab nationalism whose sources in European fascism and Nazism make it a threat not only to Jews but to all the religious and ethnic minorities of the region, including the ancient Christian sects. The book covers the entire sequence of events, including the rise of Israel and the defeat of the Arab armies sent to suppress it, which led to the dispossession and expulsion, by the new nationalism, of virtually the entire Jewish community, in a vast act of what would now be called ethnic cleansing.In all of this Victor, extraordinarily, retains his nostalgia for an earlier, pre-Nazi Germany, and in the 1950s re-establishes himself in Hamburg.
