Sebastian Kneipp a jeho svět léčivých bylin
Páter Sebastian Kneipp proslul jako otec vodoléčby. Méně známé jsou jeho bylinářské znalosti, byliny doporučované v domácnosti nebo jeho příruční domácí lékárna. Ta kromě jiných prostředků obsahuje
jablečný ocet, který působí jako všestranný léčivý prostředek k podpoře trávení a k dezinfekci a aktivaci látkové výměny, protože usmrcuje choroboplodné zárodky. Velmi zajímavé jsou i bikarbonát
sodný neboli jedlá soda, která na sebe může vázat přebytečné kyseliny, a také sprašové usazeniny. Pocházejí z doby ledové, jsou bohaté na minerály a mohou se používat vnitřně i zevně. Osobitým přínosem Kneippovy bylinné léčby jsou sušené traviny, protože sušina na základě svojí rozmanitosti obsahuje nejrůznější účinné látky, éterické oleje, třísloviny, kumariny, pryskyřice nebo přírodní barviva. Zajímavá je zkušenost tvrdě pracujících venkovských lidí, kteří zjistili, že spaní v seně působí jako elixír mládí a přes noc dovede zmírnit nebo docela odstranit různé bolesti. Významnou rostlinou, která získala věhlas hlavně za Kneippovy éry, bylo zelí, nazývané lékařem chudých. Tato kniha, koncipovaná jako průvodce celým rokem, obsahuje několik zajímavých receptů na jeho úpravu. Mimořádným příspěvkem faráře Kneippa jsou dvě bylinné směsi. Nazval je Krtek a slouží k podpoře trávení.

Tohle fakt nevymyslíš!
Stačí, aby otevřela pusu a všem je jasné, že není odsud. Ale ten přízvuk… je slovenský? Ukrajinský? Britský? Jihoafrický? Tahitský? Ano – jeden člověk se domníval, že její „zvláštní přízvuk“ pochází z Tahiti.
Kdepak. Ani Petrak je Američanka. A svou americkou nevázanost (ehm, naivní optimismus) a odhodlání (ehm, tvrdohlavost) si s sebou odnesla před více než deseti lety, kdy opustila zemi svobodných a domov statečných a rozhodla se začít další část svého života v srdci Evropy. Českému jazyku a kultuře se učila prostřednictvím starodávné výukové metody „Šup do vody a plavej!“. Zatímco se snažila neutopit, shromáždila řadu příběhů – o politicích, sportovcích, bezdomovcích, stalkerech, mizogynech, knihovnících, učitelích a také o pár nejvelkorysejších lidech na planetě Zemi.
Ani je naštěstí zdravě paličatá, nechybí jí český smysl pro humor a zároveň zůstala věrná bojovnému duchu svojí rodné vlasti. A tak si pro sebe v české kotlině udělala místo. O některých svých zkušenostech napsala knihu fejetonů a je si jistá, že s ní po jejich přečtení budete souhlasit: Tohle fakt nevymyslíš!

Legie Wallonie
Dne 8. srpna 1941 odjede tisícovka francouzsky hovořících dobrovolníků z Bruselu do polského výcvikového tábora, kde vznikne legie Wallonie. Mezi nimi je i ani ne třicetiletý Léon Degrelle, vůdce velkého belgického politického hnutí. Ačkoli svou vojenskou kariéru zahájí jako prostý kulometník, na konci války stojí v čele divize SS o síle několika tisíc mužů. Krok za krokem sdílí osud těchto Valonů, kteří se stanou známými díky odvaze a vytrvalosti. Během strašlivé zimy 1941-1942 přijdou o polovinu mužstva při obraně vsi Gromovaja Balka. Poté je čeká 1200 kilometrů dlouhý pochod na Kavkaz. Tam se ocitnou na hrotu německého postupu k Černému moři. Po převelení ke Zbraním SS a vzniku útočné brigády o síle 2000 mužů skončí na březích Dněpru jako součást divize Wiking. Spolu s ní prožijí peklo v obklíčení, z něhož se však nakonec probojují. Přeživší poté čekají boje v Estonsku a smrt v Pomořanech.

Odette Rising
When the dressmakers had gone, she wrapped her arms around herself and squeezed tightly. Their visit had been awful; they had seen her pink and blue flesh, its hairs, dents and ripples. Her poor body, made to endure such scrutiny. But if she were really to go into the world, there was a price to pay. She must offer herself for scorn in order to feed her starving mind and imagination. And if she didn't, she would sit here for what would feel like eternity. She called for tea and eclairs.It's 1896 in Sevres, France and, from her bedroom window, Odette Huré watches a funeral bier carry her father's coffin away. She is twenty-one and she has not left the house for ten years, soothing herself with books and food. Odette's only joy is found in the extravagant menus she dreams up and which the housekeeper reluctantly prepares for her. With the sudden death of her father, the walls she has built around herself begin to crumble. Forced into society, she discovers she is now responsible for a fortune and a stockings factory - renowned for its exquisite designs which adorn the slender ankles of Parisian femmes célebres. Now Odette must try and navigate a world she has hidden from for so long. In doing so she must excavate the secrets her father left behind, face the dark truth about her own identity - and with the help of her unconventional, self-made family, blossom to discover all that she is capable of. Melding a beautifully researched historical setting and sharp portrayal of an unconventional woman fighting against the limitations of her society, Odette Rising is an unforgettable tale of darkness and light, secrets and lies, friendship and betrayal.'Absorbing, stirring and vividly drawn, Odette Rising is a triumph of storytelling' CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY'Reads like a subverted fairytale, steeped in wonder and daring . . . Masterful' FLORENCE KNAPP, author of THE NAMES
Shadow Divers
A true adventure in which two amateur scuba divers risk everything to solve a great historical mystery - and make history themselves'This book is a work of art' RYAN HOLIDAY'A pulse-quickening real-life thriller'New York Times 'A memorable story, beautifully told'The TimesFor John Chatterton and Richie Kohler, deep wreck diving was more than a sport. But in 1991, not even these courageous divers were prepared for what they found 230 feet below the surface, in the frigid waters of the Atlantic: a Second World War German U-boat, its ruined interior a macabre wasteland of twisted metal, tangled wires and human bones.No identifying marks were visible. No historian, expert or government had a clue as to which U-boat the men had found, and the official records all agreed that there simply could not be a sunken U-boat and crew there.Over the next six years, an elite team of divers embarked on a quest of increasingly perilous diving and painstaking archival research to solve the mystery. Some of them would not live to see its end. Chatterton and Kohler, at first bitter rivals, would be drawn into a friendship that deepened to an almost mystical sense of brotherhood with each other and with the drowned U-boat sailors – former enemies of their country.Bestselling author Robert Kurson’s account of this quest is thrilling, vivid and emotionally complex. It’s a story of persistence, ingenuity and a shared obsession.
