The Wandering Inn
Book One, Part One in the beloved epic fantasy world and LitRPG sensation created by pirateaba
'You won't find anything like it. The Wandering Inn is a favourite' Matt Dinniman, Sunday Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl
'No killing Goblins.'
So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.
It’s a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn’t belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.
In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn. She’s an [Innkeeper].
Thus starts the first volume of The Wandering Inn, an epic fantasy series filled with heart and fear, magic, dragons, and monsters, adventurers and chess players…and humans pulled from the real world into a wondrous and deadly land where the game is to survive and these new pieces could decide who’s the winner.

Ezer életem, egy sorsom
Belmondo önéletrajzi könyvében közvetlen stílusban, utánozhatatlan humorral idézi fel a múltat, és a saját életútjával bizonyítja, hogy a derű nem a nehézségek hiányát jelenti, hanem azt a döntést, hogy a legsötétebb pillanatokban is a fényt keressük.
"Bébel" valóban úgy élt, mintha ezer élet adatott volna meg neki, és mindegyik bővelkedett derűs pillanatokban. Légtornászhoz illő mutatványainak köszönhetően a francia színészóriás szuperhősként él az emlékezetünkben, mégsem épít legendát maga köré, egyszerűen mesél. Örömökről, kudarcokról, kockázatvállalásról és szabadságról, sikerekről és veszteségekről, a szenvedélyről, amely áthatotta egész lényét. Az életigenlés kiáltványaként is olvasható önéletrajz egyik fő erénye az önirónia. Belmondo egyszerre filmcsillag és egyszerű ember, aki képes nevetni saját magán, legyen szó félresikerült síelésről, driftelésről vagy botrányos sajtótájékoztatóról. Örömmel fedi fel a titkait. Kendőzetlen őszinteséggel mutatja be a tanulóévek nehézségeit, amikor a párizsi Konzervatórium tanárainak többsége csúnyának és a színészi pályára alkalmatlannak találta.
De Belmondo életében egyszer csak felbukkant Jean-Luc Godard, és első nagyjátékfilmje, a Kifulladásig (1960), amely lefektette a francia új hullám alapjait, mindkettejük számára fordulópontot jelentett. A rendező radikálisan új munkamódszere tökéletesen illett Belmondo rögtönzőképességéhez és zabolátlan személyiségéhez. A Godard biztosította szabadság volt számára az a közeg, amelyben a legjobb formáját tudta hozni. Később Belmondo egyreinkább a közönségfilmek felé fordult, mert meggyőződése volt, hogy a film, a színész fő feladata a szórakoztatás, a nevettetés, ezért ideális megoldásra törekedve a művészfilm mélységét és a közönségfilm közvetlenségét igyekezett egyesíteni.
Könyvében néha komolyabb hangon is megszólal. A színészek jogaiért folytatott küzdelem, a hírnév ára, a magánélet sérülékenysége és a folyamatos jelenlétből fakadó fáradtság egyaránt szóba kerül. Belmondo következetesen kiáll kollégái, a filmes szakma és a színészi hivatás méltósága mellett.
Az Ezer életem, egy sorsom nemcsak rendkívül hiteles személyes hitvallás, hanem egy fontos filmtörténeti korszakot bemutató érdekes és humoros ismertető.

Pravá tvár lásky / Pravá tvár šťastia
Vzťahu Jareda a Natalie nepraje jej rodina. Ona je totiž niekto a on je len synom koniara. Láske však nerozkážeš. Natalie a Jared poslúchnu svoje srdcia a rozhodnú sa ujsť a začať spoločný život ďaleko od všetkých. Jared si mal len zbaliť veci... Ibaže Natalie ostala sedieť na dohodnutom mieste sama, s kufrom plným snov, dierou v hrudi a vedomím, že ju podrazil a oklamal. Ušla z domu, zriekla sa vlastného mena aj rodiny, aby mohla byť s chlapcom, ktorého miluje, ktorému verila... a ktorý ju tak zbabelo zradil.
Až po dlhých desiatich rokoch sa začnú rozmotávať pavučiny klamstiev, o ktorých Natalie vôbec netušila. A zdá sa, že všetko je úplne inak, než si myslela. Zmení to jej vzťah k Jaredovi? Alebo je už neskoro a ich nekonečná láska dávno vyprchala?
Pravda konečne vyplávala na povrch! Natáliin svet sa v jedinom okamihu otočil hore nohami. Už nič nemohlo byť ako predtým, a ona vedela, že je načase otočiť list a vykročiť vpred tou správnou nohou. No čo je naozaj správne? Poslúchnuť prianie rodiny a ísť neľútostne vpred, a neobzerať sa do minulosti? Alebo počúvnuť volanie srdca, ktoré nevyhaslo ani po rokoch? Jared a ona sú si súdení, to vedia obaja, no podarí sa im získať to, čo im bolo kedysi vzaté? Podarí sa im prekonať rokmi živenú nenávisť ich rodín a nájsť konečne svoje šťastie? Alebo ich rodina opäť rozdelí?
