Dopisy z Bihoru
Mladý maďarský kaplan přichází koncem 19. století na faru v Nové Huti. Přichází na jaře z kvetoucí nížiny a stoupaje s vozem po nekonečné klikaté cestě nachází v kopcích krajinu dosud sevřenou sněhem, bičovanou ledovými větry. Ocitne se mezi uctivě odtažitými, roztomile primitivními Slováky, kterým nerozumí jediného slova: nepraktický intelektuál z města si přišel odbýt své vyhnanství, v němž je k zoufalství stejně blízko jako k žertu s některou z mála spřízněných duší.
Maďarský román v dopisech z roku 1897 v moderním překladu Adély Gálové je nejstarším souvislým vyprávěním o slovenské krajině Nové Huti (?inteu) v dnešním rumunském Bihoru a o jejích obyvatelích – Slovácích, Maďarech, Židech a dalších. Adéla Gálová za překlad získala tvůrčí ocenění Obce překladatelů za rok 2020.

Rosslyn Chapel Revealed
‘Like Rosslyn itself, this book is rather delicious and I would urge anyone with an interest in the Scottish religious sensibility to read it.’ - Gerard CarruthersRosslyn Chapel Revealed offers the reader an increased understanding and respect for one of Europe’s finest pre-Reformation buildings. Rosslyn Chapel, with its foundations in the world of nature, still points bravely to the heavens. That there is mystery at Rosslyn Chapel, there can be no doubt. But it is not the mystery of the esoteric Gnostic variety, available only to the initiated few. Instead, it is knowledge, accessible to all, of the dynamic intertwining of the created world with the impulse towards self-fulfilment. Rosslyn Chapel Revealed shows that the chapel is first and foremost a Christian building, constructed in the traditions of the pre-Reformation Church for the celebration in word, gesture and music of the Divine Office and of the ultimate sacrifice Jesus Christ suffered on his cross for the salvation of the human race. The stunning beauty of the chapel, its unexpected delicacy and the uninhibited humour of its stone carvings, which have drawn visitors in such avid numbers from all over the world, are a tribute to the honesty and validity of the religious experience to be found within its ancient walls, in a breathtaking setting of valley and river that is older than time. ‘This lovely book is a counter to some of the silliness of recent years … an excellent and comprehensive introduction and a super memoir for anyone who has visited.’ - Maria Western, Inspires

Larissa DiCicco is all too familiar with the weight of secrets and their consequences.

Charged with the responsibility of maintaining her family's legacy, she has no choice but to seek refuge in the only man who may be able to help her escape her fate.
