Cipruskoporsó
Nagynénje hosszan tartó, súlyos betegségét követő halála után Elinor Carlisle hatalmas vagyont örököl. Ám lehet, hogy mindezt már nem tudja élvezni, ugyanis gyilkosság vádjával áll a bíróság előtt. Ő az egyetlen gyanúsított, mivel féltékenységéből adódóan kizárólag neki lehetett oka a fiatal és szép Mary Gerrard, Laura néni felolvasónőjének a megölésére. A vádat csak súlyosbítja, hogy nagynénje – közvetlenül a halála előtt – módosítani akarta a végrendeletét Mary javára. Az indíték egyértelmű, minden Elinor ellen szól – de akad valaki, aki váltig hisz Elinor ártatlanságában: Peter Lord, Laura néni kezelőorvosa. A doktor, hogy megmentse Elinort a már biztosnak látszó ítélettől, nem kisebb szakértőt bíz meg a védelem oldalán, mint a nagy Hercule Poirot-t.
A History of Horror, Fear, and the Uncanny
Take a step - if you dare - into the shadows, and discover the blood-curdling history of horror across the world in this gruesomely illustrated title.
A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny explores the dark and eerie landscapes of horror down the centuries - from prehistoric death rituals to modern interpretations in art, literature, and film.
In this petrifying book, you will find:
A complete global history of the subject - from ancient visions of the Underworld and horror in fairytales to Gothic horror and "creepypasta" tales
More than 350 stunning full-colour images combined with engaging and accessible text
Profiles of infamous supernatural creatures - from ghosts and demons to banshees and changelings, and from Grendel to Baba Yaga and the Morrigan to the Golem
Profiles of the scariest books and films of all time - from novels by Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Stephen King to movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, and Alien
…in a stunning, giftable package with a specially commissioned cover artwork and gorily printed page edges.
Discover how our experience and understanding of fear and terror have evolved through the ages, beginning with the ancient visions of a hellish Underworld. Encounter terrifying figures like Medusa and the Babylonian demon Pazuzu. And tread carefully through the medieval world, where a fear of the unknown stoked apocalyptic terror around the Black Death and gave rise to the danse macabre and the demonology of the Malleus Maleficarum.
Delve into the folklore that gave birth to creatures of the night - from vampires and werewolves to the Japanese Kappa water demon and the cannibalistic Wendigo of Indigenous American lore. Witness the emergence of Gothic literature, with the terrifying and genre-defining works of authors like Mary Shelley, H. P. Lovecraft, and M. R. James. And learn how the 20th century saw a new wave of terror unleashed through Expressionist art, monsters in the movies, "body horror" films, and the "folk horror" revival.
Whether you are a dedicated horror aficionado or simply curious, A History of Horror, Fear and the Uncanny isn't just for Halloween… It is a thrilling - chilling - journey into the heart of darkness.

Son of Nobody
The past is never done with: always the song continues
Harlow Donne has devoted his life to the Classical world. When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs.
In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem The Psoad, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'.
As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition, love and grief.
In this masterpiece of myth, history and domesticity, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.

Zrcadlo hospodaření
Kniha si klade za cíl nabídnout čtenáři jiný pohled na účetnictví než jen jako na nudný soubor pevných čísel. Účetnictví totiž ve skutečnosti bylo a stále je měnícím se mechanismem s pestrou škálou podob. Za tímto účelem není pozornost zaměřena jen na účetnictví ve smyslu vedení záznamů a jejich technické podoby. Jádrem zkoumání je spíše účetní myšlení, tedy způsoby, jakými byla skutečnost v různých dobách pojímána, tříděna a vykládána prostřednictvím hospodářských instrukcí, dobových příruček, učebnic, metodických pokynů či právních předpisů. Účetnictví je zde proto nahlíženo především jako odraz dobové představy o uspořádání a kontrole hospodářské reality, nikoli jen jako soubor formálních zápisů.

In our fractured age, a new generation was rediscovering Christianity for itself. In this urgent and lyrical adventure, Ash embarks on a journey across Britain to meet the young people wrestling with faith today. Taking us from ancient abbeys to modern meeting houses, silent retreats to garrulous Bible classes, Don' t Forget We're Here Forever explores our need for community and nourishment of the soul.
