What unfolds beyond the "happily ever after"? Worlds collide in Sybil G. Brinton's delightful reimagining of the romantic lives of familiar characters from all six of Jane Austen's cherished novels, including Emma, Pride and Prejudice, and Sense and Sensibility. Published in 1913, foreshadowing modern fan fiction, this charming tale filled with wit and gentle humor follows beloved personalities, including Georgiana Darcy as she flees heartbreak for London, Kitty Bennet in her quest for love under Mrs. Emma Knightly's guidance, and Mary Crawford as she tries to rebuild her tarnished reputation and find love anew.

Somme 1916
Gerald Gliddon’s classic survey of the Somme battlefield in 1916, first published in 1987 to great acclaim, has been greatly expanded and updated to include the latest research and analysis. Supported by a wide selection of archive photographs and drawing on the testimony of those who took part, this new edition covers the famous battle sites, such as High Wood and Mametz Wood, as well as the lesser-known villages on the outlying flanks. It includes a day-by-day account of the British build-up on the Somme and the ensuing struggle; British and German orders of battle; and a full history of the cemeteries and memorials, both ‘lost’ and current, that sprang up in the years following the First World War. Gliddon also provides thumbnail biographies of all the senior officers to fall, the winners of the Victoria Cross and those who were ‘shot at dawn’, as well as Somme ‘personalities’ such as George Butterworth. Somme 1916 honours the sacrifices made by the people who fought in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War.
Cretan Chronicle: An Archaeological Childhood
Cretan Chronicle: An Archaeological Childhood is about love and stoicism.As a young child, Mary is uprooted from her home in Crete among an archaeological community and resettles in England. Revisiting Crete each year, Mary begins to assist her father, Sinclair Hood, in his fieldwork. The ruined Palace of Minos transforms from her playground into her workplace. Sinclair struggles to publish excavation reports, preferring to revel in media acclaim. Burying family stories, he wrestles with pacifism and his Anglo-Catholic faith. Mary sets out to study architecture, and mixes pleasure and jealousy in a tangled love triangle with an artist-poet. She must learn to forsake lust, stop working for Sinclair, and figure her way out of her own Labyrinth.Steeped in the myths of Zeus and his daughter Athena, and born in Greece, but not Greek, Mary interweaves themes of identity, trauma and redemption with stories of fickle deities and the regenerative power of nature. She unearths her archaeological family’s secrets with riveting intricacy to give a unique perspective on her father’s unusual upbringing by a capricious wealthy mother, as well as his loves and career.Appealing to readers interested in mid-20th century archaeological lives, Cretan Chronicle sparkles with clarity and humour—strengthened and nurtured by the bright Mediterranean sun.

Diabol nosí Pradu
Za úspech zaplatí vlastnou dušou.
Čerstvá absolventka Andrea Sachsová sa hlási na pozíciu asistentky v módnom časopise Runway. Ani z ďaleka si neuvedomuje, čo znamená prijatie obávanou Mirandou Priestlyovou pre jej kariéru, a už vonkoncom nevie, čoho sa bude musieť kvôli novej práci vzdať. Systém odsudzujúci nedokonalosť v sebe ukrýva omnoho viac, akoby sme povedali, a už čoskoro vycerí prvé, ale ostré zúbky. Andrea nebojuje o svoj život len s kalorickými tabuľkami, nedostačujúcim obvodom pásu, najmenšími konfekčnými veľkosťami, vlastným vkusom či životným štýlom...
Príbeh Diabol nosí Pradu nie je len knižný fenomén. Filmové spracovanie s nezabudnuteľnými herečkami Anne Hathawayovou a Meryl Streepovou v hlavných úlohách sa zapísalo do sŕdc mnohým fanúšikom.

Hry bohov
V smrteľných hrách je v stávke jej život – aj jej srdce
Bohovia sa radi zahrávajú so smrteľníkmi. A každých sto rokov im to dovolíme...
Lyra Keresová nikdy nebola u bohov obľúbená. Keď bola malá, rodičia ju ponúkli Rádu zlodejov, aby zaplatili dlhy. Odvtedy nad jej hlavou visí kliatba, ktorú na ňu uvrhol samotný Zeus. Lyra celý život dúfala, že ak nebude vyčnievať, rozmarní bohovia z Olympu si ju nevšimnú. Nebolo to vôbec ľahké, ale zvládla to, prežila. Jedného dňa však narazí na toho najnebezpečnejšieho z nich – Háda.
Po prvý raz sa nemilosrdný kráľ podsvetia rozhodol zúčastniť turnaja, ktorého víťaz zasadne na Olymp a bude vládnuť nasledovné storočie. No namiesto toho, aby bohovia sami bojovali vlastné bitky, vyberajú si do nich smrteľníkov. Prečo si Hádes zvolil práve Lyru, ktorá nie je ničím výnimočná okrem svojho sarkazmu a kliatby? A prečo sa jej srdce rozochveje zakaždým, keď povie, že mu patrí? Lyra netuší, či je pre Háda len pešiakom, návnadou, alebo čímsi iným. S istotou však vie, že Hádes hrá podľa vlastných pravidiel. A že smrť vždy vyhráva... za každú cenu.

Zakázaná láska
Cozy romantasy plné iskier, napätia, humoru a nehy
Guinevere má svoju budúcnosť dávno naplánovanú. Ako dcéra ctižiadostivého obchodníka sa má výhodne vydať, zabezpečiť rodinu a stať sa poslušnou manželkou niekoho, koho sotva pozná. Lenže ona túži po niečom celkom inom – po slobode, dobrodružstve a vášni.
Keď jej sprievod prepadnú lupiči a ona zostane sama na nebezpečnej Jantárovej ceste, zachráni ju Oskar – tichý, mrzutý polork s temnou minulosťou, ktorý očividne stráca trpezlivosť s rozmaznaným dievčiskom, ktoré sa odmieta držať bokom.
Na spoločnej ceste plnej nástrah, iskrenia a slovných prestreliek Guinevere zisťuje, že svet je oveľa divokejší – a zábavnejší – než si kedy predstavovala. A Oskar pomaly odhaľuje, že aj v jeho srdci je miesto pre niečo, čomu sa doteraz vyhýbal.
Zakázaná láska je úsmevný romantický fantasy príbeh o túžbe po slobode, sile citov a voľbe medzi tým, čo od nás očakáva svet – a tým, čo skutočne chceme.
