Heroes or Zeroes
From the author of Bad Girls of Ancient Greece comes a new collection, covering tales of lore from bad boys and more…
Myths and legends would be nothing without their shining star of a hero at the forefront, right? But what about those sidekicks and minor characters so often scrubbed out of the story?
From honoured heroes such as Heracles, to savage scoundrels like Tityus, or even the unexpected underdogs Iphicles and Philoctetes, Lizzy Tiffin tells the stories of the dashingly handsome and oh-so-brave men of antiquity with her signature wit and humour.
Uncovering the unsung heroes and side guys, Lizzy has us ask, what is it to be a 'hero'? And should the so-called 'zeroes' be the real stars of the show? So, dive in and prepare to decide who deserves their place in history.

Co o knize říkají další hlasy?
„Lidé říkají, že moji táta s mámou jsou skvělí v učednictví. Myslím, že na tom mám aspoň poloviční zásluhu, protože si to na mně doma trénovali.
Jedním z důvodů, proč jsem já sama vedoucí, je to, že HOGC je církev mladých, která dává mládeži pravomoci. Zodpovědnost jsem měla už v 11 letech. A nejde jen o mě, ale o celou generaci mladých lidí, jako jsem já. Všichni chceme žít pro Boha a stát se v církvi zaměstnanci na plný úvazek nebo pastory!“
— RINNAH (16 let), dcera Howa a Lie, vedoucí 130 mladých lidí a instruktorka práce se sociálními sítěmi
„Vyrůstal jsem ve Švýcarsku. Do Singapuru jsem se přestěhoval a k HOGC se připojil ve 25 letech. V té době byli téměř všichni vedoucí v církvi teenageři. Přišel jsem jako starší, měl jsem vystudovanou biblickou školu, byl jsem podnikatel a ‚běloch‘ v asijské církvi. Myslel jsem si, že mě hned obsadí do vedoucí role nebo mě postaví na pódium. Místo toho jsem ale dalších 4 až 5 let čistil záchody.“
— CHRISTIAN HONEGGER, ředitel pro globální vztahy; HOGC sdílí pohled člověka ze Západu na asijskou církev
„Jeden z nejsilnějších momentů mého učednictví se odehrál v době, kdy pastorka Lia bojovala s rakovinou. Vlastně se to stalo přímo uprostřed její chemoterapie! Koho by napadlo, že i chemoterapie se dá využít k učednictví?“
— PASTOR CHARLESTON, člen exekutivního vedení HOGC

Ariol 4: Pekná krava
PEŤULA je krásna a ako pekne vonia! Ariol sedí v triede rovno za ňou a vo svojich myšlienkach ju zasýpa komplimentami. Dokonca si predstavuje, ako jej hovorí, že ju miluje. Je preto obzvlášť čudné, že keď sa PEŤULA otočí a niečo mu hovorí, Ariol jej nevie odpovedať. Celkom stratí reč! Ako na potvoru! Ach jaj, prečo je pre malého oslíka také ťažké, milovať peknú kravu?
The Princess Knight - A lovaghercegnő
Ez nem egy tündérmese…
Domhnall és Clía tökéletes pár volt: mindenki így gondolta. Egészen addig, míg Domhnall mindent tönkre nem tett azzal, hogy kikosarazta a lányt.
Clía összetört szívvel kidolgozza a tökéletes tervet: követi Domhnallt Caisleán Cósta katonai akadémiájára. Persze a kastély hírhedten kegyetlen hely. De hát mennyire lehet nehéz a párbajozás?
Ronan harcosként megfogadta: soha nem engedi, hogy bármi elterelje a figyelmét. Nem akar foglalkozni Clíával. De a lány elszántsága, hogy bebizonyítsa, mire képes, ismerős számára. Nincs abban semmi rossz, ha segít neki a kardforgatás elsajátításában. Még úgy sem, hogy a szíve hevesebben ver a lány közelében. Még úgy sem, hogy Domhnall a legjobb barátja.
Mert ahogy mondani szokás: a szerelem egy csatatér – és sajnos számukra most egy valódi háború is a láthatáron dereng. Egy harc, amely végső próbatétel elé állítja a képességeiket… és a szívüket.

Gert G. von Harling sa na svet díva očami vášnivého milovníka prírody a priateľa zvierat a až v druhom pláne cez zorné pole svojho puškohľadu. Podstatou lovu tak preňho nie je streľba, ale skôr blízky kontakt s divokou prírodou.
Vášeň pre poľovačku dostal takpovediac do vienka, keďže jeho otec i starý otec boli nadšenými poľovníkmi. Odovzdal ju aj svojim dvom deťom. O poľovníctve aj rád píše, na konte má vyše 40 kníh, pričom je oceňovaným a aj najčítanejším autorom poľovníckej literatúry v nemecky hovoriacich krajinách.
V tejto publikácii približuje úchvatné zážitky z revírov v okolí svojho bydliska v Dolnom Sasku i v blízkom zahraničí. Nepíše len o trofejach, no často sa zamýšľa nad budúcnosťou poľovníctva.
Jeho slová umocňujú úchvatné fotografie Franka Ecklera, ktorý vie citlivo zachytiť nielen krásu krajiny, ale aj nezvyčajné a opomínané výjavy zo života divej zveri. Inšpiráciu nachádza neustále, bez ohľadu na dennú či ročnú dobu alebo počasie. Čitatelia vďaka nemu nazrú do rodinného života diviačic či sŕn. Budú tiež svedkami súbojov danielov a jeleňov alebo naopak ostražitosti zajacov či jarabíc.

For Louder Days
The essential guide to establishing an effective opposition movement in the age of Trump, from the leading activist and organizer“I consider [Marom] one of the most generous and important thinkers for the activist left, for anyone who cares about where we are and how to get to where we should be.” —Rebecca SolnitThere is no way to stop the descent into authoritarianism, nor win a world in which all people can thrive, without massive numbers of people organizing for social, political, and economic change. Yet experienced movement leader Yotam Marom delivers a hard truth: progressive and left movements too often get in their own way. They can be ambivalent about power, choosing insularity and purity over winning. This amounts to what Marom calls the “politics of powerlessness,” which has kept movements small, weak, and defeated. In For Louder Days: Reaching Beyond a Politics of Powerlessness, Marom offers a brilliant, lyrical clarion cry for a more honest, more strategic, more loving approach to progressive activism and movement building. Grounded in decades of experience in movements, from leading at Occupy Wall Street and other movement moments to supporting some of the most important climate, racial justice, and democracy movements of our time, Marom dives deep into the challenges that hold movements back, and offers stories, tools, and paths toward real power and enduring change. Published at the most perilous time in our modern political history, For Louder Days comes not a moment too soon. It is essential reading for committed activists as well as the wider public concerned about the state of our world and hoping to change it for the better.

Iris knows she owes everything to Sol. He has promised to keep them safe from their pasts. All he asks in return is for their loyalty, which Iris freely gives. With her sisters and Sol as her family, she feels happier than she has in a long time.
Until a new girl arrives and everything changes.
Sol christens her Rose and the sisters are quick to welcome her. Iris is drawn to Rose, but as they grow closer, Rose has Iris questioning things about this life in the woods. When Sol notices, he challenges Iris to prove her commitment to their family. Her sisters tell her that she should be willing to do anything for the man who saved her. But with each new ask, Iris realizes there is more to Sol -and her sisters - than she knows and some secrets should stay buried deep.
A thriller with true heart - a gripping, stunningly told, edge-of-your-seat story of shifting power and found family.
