The Great Bazaar and Brayan's Gold
Two exciting short stories set in the engrossing world of The Demon Cycle from bestselling fantasy author Peter V. Brett.Humanity has been brought to the brink of extinction. Each night, the world is overrun by demons - bloodthirsty creatures of nightmare that have been hunting and killing humanity for over 300 years. A scant few hamlets and half-starved city-states are all that remain of a once proud civilization, and it is only by hiding behind wards, ancient symbols with the power to repel the demons, that they survive. A handful of Messengers brave the night to keep the lines of communication open between the increasingly isolated populace.But there was a time when the demons were not so bold. A time when wards did more than hold the demons at bay. They allowed man to fight back, and to win. Messenger Arlen Bales will search anywhere, dare anything, to return this magic to the world.Abban, a merchant in the Great Bazaar of Krasia, purports to sell everything a man's heart could desire, including, perhaps, the key to Arlen's quest.The Great Bazaar and Brayan's Gold is the essential addition to one of the most exciting epic fantasy series currently being published.

The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.

The Great Plains and Other Great Experiences/Velké pláně a další velké zážitky
"Americký Středozápad je dalším tématem, který zaujal autorku po napsání knížek o našich krajanech v Texasu. Stejně jako do Texasu odcházeli lidé z českých zemí do Kansasu, Nebrasky, Iowy a dalších míst, kde se mohli usadit. Byla zde úrodná půda a i když, hlavně z počátku tu život nebyl rozhodně lehký, měli zde možnost svobodného podnikání, ať v řemeslech či v zemědělství.
Autorka se ve svých reportážích a rozhovorech ještě částečně vrací do Texasu, dále provází čtenáře českou částí Iowy, kde nechybí výlet do Spillville a vzpomínka a dokumenty na zdejší pobyt Antonína Dvořáka v roce 1893, představení tamějšího muzea bratrů Bílých, kteří vyřezávali ze dřeva světové unikátní hrací hodiny a kde je byt, kde slavný skladatel tehdy bydlel, dále představení známého českého muzea v Cedar Rapids, aj. Ale nejen muzea, české kostely, školy a hřbitovy jsou v knize popisovány. Více prostoru je věnováno současným a význačným Čechům jako např. bratrům Klimešovým (původem z Jižních Čech), kteří se starají o veškerou historii a památky Iowy, elegantní a aktivní honorární konzulce Kansasu Sharon Valasek, absolventce vojenské školy a nyní farmářce a chovatelce závodních koní Marii J., atd.

to survive no matter what it takes.

Zrcadlová četba - Great Expectations - Nadějné vyhlídky (B1-B2)
Příběh malého Pipa začíná v bažinatém kraji Kentu. Když tam jednou o Vánocích náhodou potká uprchlého vězně, netuší, že se jeho život už brzy navždy změní. Sled úžasných událostí následujících po tomto setkání a tragický, záhadný příběh slečny Havishamové a její krásné, ale chladné adoptivní dcery Estelly činí z Nadějných vyhlídek jedno z nejoblíbenějších děl Charlese Dickense.
The story of young Pip starts on marshes of Kent. When he accidentally meets an escaped convict one Christmas Eve, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. The amazing events following that encounter, and the tragic, mysterious tale of Miss Havisham and her beautiful but cold adoptive daughter Estella, have made Great Expectations one of Dicken’s best-loved works.
