Sparrows Prayer Hutchison Roger

When words are hard to find, prayer blooms in unexpected ways.Sparrow wakes each morning, ready to sing a prayer of thanksgiving. But not today. Today his words get tangled and knotted in his beak like old yarn and straw. He feels sad and gray, and he's not sure why. So Sparrow decides to ask his friends Turtle, Mousie, and Buck for advice on how to pray. Each friend shows Sparrow a different way to pray without words, through generosity, art, and movement. As the day ends, Sparrow meditates on a rose aglow in the evening light and has an epiphany: Every living thing does what God created them to do. Each life is, itself, a prayer of thanksgiving. Often, the most powerful prayers do not include words. Lyrical and unique, Sparrow's Prayer is a tale about an unexpected and life-changing encounter with the holy.Backmatter includes an author's note with a

Szerelem a századelőn... 1910, Fiume - A Magyar Királyság egyetlen kikötője. Az Adriai-tenger partján virágzik a kereskedelem, ezért a híres pesti cukrász, Gerbeaud Emil megvásárolja a fiumei csokoládégyárat, és üzletet nyit az abbáziai luxusvillák és fényűző szállodák szomszédságában. Így kerül a fiumei gyorsvonattal a belvárosi cukrászdában dolgozó Szépkúti Blanka kisasszony egyenesen a híres tengerparti sétaútra - a kalapos kisasszonyok és sétapálcás urak legelőkelőbb üdülőhelyének szívébe. A Gerbeaud-kisasszony útjába egy tengerészt sodor a bóra nevű szél, akivel csupán abban egyeznek, hogy mindkettőjüknek igen határozott víziója van arról, hogyan is képzelik el a jövőt. Az emberek csupán véletlenül találkoznak életük során, vagy a sors rendeli így? Vajon a szerelem fordít a sorsunkon vagy éppen beleteljesíti azt? Karády Anna, a nagysikerű A füredi lány-trilógia írója különleges csemegét kínál a történelmi regények kedvelőinek: új, romantikus története az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia idejébe, az,,aranykor" éveibe repíti vissza az olvasókat - emlékeztetve az elfeledett magyar haditengerészeti évekre, amikor az Adria még magyar tenger is volt.

František Josef I. - Život císaře slovem

Císař František Josef I. vtiskl době svého panování výraznou pečeť a stal se posléze ztělesněním starého Rakouska 19. století. Pozvednut na trůn v roce 1848 jako mladý princ, vládl císařství pevnou rukou plných 68 let. Přes četné rány osudu přivedl monarchii k rozkvětu a nakonec k zániku. Smysl svého úřadu spatřoval v ochraně svých národů před jejich politiky. Když roku 1916 zemřel, ztratilo Rakousko-Uhersko jako mnohonárodnostní stát to nejdůležitější, co je drželo pohromadě. V této knize jsou s historickou ostrostí i jistou literární licencí vylíčeny nejtřpytivější dny i nejhořčejší tragédie životního příběhu Františka Josefa. Je to biografie, jejíž největší předností je její stručnost a zároveň výstižnost.
