The Witch & The City Burnett Jake

The prison-city of Osylum floats in the midst of an endless abyss. The reclusive Lady rules it; distant, inscrutable, and never seen. Her will is imposed by the Wardens, eldritch creatures who tend to the convicts' needs but also ruthlessly purge anyone who tries to escape.Osylum's newest inmate, the witch Oneirotheria, has no memory of who she is, where she came from, or why she is imprisoned. Instead, her mind is a mess of spells and lore and other people's voices. The city mirrors her internal confusion; a jumble of broken buildings covered in hundreds of snippets of graffiti.As Oneirotheria re-assembles her own shattered past (aided by a few inmates of dubious intent), she learns she may hold not just the key to escape, but the intertwined secrets of the city's origin and a lost love that transcends countless lives.For readers

V mene kríža - Marcel Kušnír

Dramatické osudy prostých ľudí v zovretí vojnyAko ďaleko zájdete, aby ste zostali verní svojej ideológii? Ako zareagujete, keď sa dostanete do konfliktu s názormi, ktoré sú v priamom rozpore s vašimi?December 1944 sa na Slovensku niesol v znamení dozvukov nedávno potlačeného domáceho odboja proti nacistickému režimu. Partizáni sa stiahli do hôr a v krajine začali vyčíňať nemecké oddiely, pevne odhodlané nastoliť poriadok.Náhoda či osud zviedli dokopy mladého nemeckého vojaka so slovenským rímskokatolíckym kňazom a tí stali ústrednými postavami drámy, do ktorej vyústilo násilné potlačenie Slovenského národného povstania. Konflikt protichodných ideológií sa odohráva v prostredí slovenskej dediny, ktorej obyvatelia píšu vlastné príbehy, stojac pritom na oboch súperiacich stranách.V tomto dejisku sa prekrížili cesty nemeckého vojaka Heinricha a farára Čobrdu a ich stretnutie nebolo o nič pokojnejšie než zrážka zbraní na bojovom poli. Zbrane však vystriedali jazyky, guľky nahradili slová, a tie útočili nie na telo, ale na srdce, na dušu, na myseľ. Každý koná v mene svojho kríža a obaja vedia, že tento boj môže vyhrať len jeden z nich.Marcel Kušnír (1996), nové meno a nová tvár na slovenskej literárnej scéne. Absolvent mediálnych štúdií Prešovskej univerzity má však aj širší záber – je aktívny ako copywriter, marketingový špecialista, podieľal sa aj na produkcii úspešného celovečerného slovenského filmu Loli Paradička, venuje sa fotografovaniu a popritom stále píše.Mladý začínajúci autor pôsobivo a verne vykreslil atmosféru a vzťahy na slovenskej dedine vo vojnovom období. Osobné hrdinstvá nenápadných bezvýznamných ľudí, akých bolo veľa, zostávajú väčšinou skryté. Marcela zaujíma, ako žili ľudia na Slovensku na sklonku vojny počas nemeckých represií, ako im zasahovali do života dejinné udalosti a či ich dokázali aj sami ovplyvniť.Na otázku, čo priviedlo mladého muža v jeho veku k tomu, aby si pre svoju prvú knihu zvolil práve túto tému, autor odpovedal: „Keď sa pozrieme do minulosti, neuvedomujeme si, že by sme v nej mohli vidieť budúcnosť. Vieme, že história sa opakuje aj napriek tomu, že nemusí – všetko závisí od našich rozhodnutí, od toho, do akej miery ignorujeme minulosť, hoci by sme sa z nej mali radšej poučiť. Máme možnosť vidieť následky hriechov našich predkov – neopakujme ich.“

Strictly For Now Elks Carrie

I hate hockey. He hates everything else... including me.Falling flat on my back in a sweaty locker room isn't how I planned to introduce myself to my grandpa's hockey team. Especially when I'm there to turn the business around financially; something nobody else in the stadium seems to want.But that's how I first meet Eli Salinger, the team's aggravatingly smooth player-turned coach.And from the moment I introduce myself to him, he makes it clear he doesn't want me there.It doesn't take a genius to work out why. Eli's only interested in one thing - turning the team into a winning side, no matter what it takes.And he's determined to fight every change I try to make.What he doesn't know is that I've never taken on a project that hasn't succeeded. And I'm

The Sacred and The Profane Barney Steve

Long considered the product of imagination and superstition, the world's sacred writings compile what is often thought to be an archaic world view. Yet, many of these sacred writings describe a nature of reality that is in striking parallel to emerging modern scientific theory. Still more shocking is the similarity between the entities described in the Bible and those described within the reports of modern paranormal events! - Does modern science and the Bible agree about the nature of reality? - Is it possible that life exists in other dimensions? - Who built many of the ancient civilizations upon earth? - What is the purpose of modern day paranormal events? - Are the entities described in modern day paranormal reports mankind's helpers? - Can earth soon expect a coming Messiah? The Sacred and The Profane presents a mesmerizing framework describing not just a hidden past, but a

Stezka časem

Historici a historičky od Svaté Marie pokračují v tom, v čem jsou nejlepší - zkoumají dějinné události v dané době, předstírají, že to není cestování časem, a snaží se přežít cokoliv, co se pokazí. Protože se něco pokazí pokaždé a historici vyhodí do vzduchu i mlíko. A teď na sebe poštvali časovou policii. Tohle bude vážné.Nebezpečí! Intriky! Smrt a zmrtvýchvstání! Lhaní před soudem a pravdy v posteli!

Britain Turned Germany the Thirty Years War and Its Impact on the British Isles 1638-1660: Proceedings of the 2018 Helio...

The speakers at the 2018 Helion conference offer a variety of insights into the depth and direction of research into the Thirty Years' War, with particular reference to the war's effect on the British Isles, the careers of the officers from its shores who participated in the conflict, and the 'trickle-down' effect of the war into the military thinking and technology of those isles.Keynote speaker Professor Steve Murdoch examines the changes in understanding of British military participation in the Thirty Years' War from a once unsophisticated and dismissive approach to a more enriched and interesting field of study. Keith Dowen examines the work of Catholic Irish colonel Gerat Barry, which has been largely overlooked. Michal Paradowski looks into the careers of three officers from the British Isles who fought abroad - Arthur Aston Jr, James Butler and Scotsman James Murray.

The Return of Inflation: Money and Capital in the 21st Century Mattick Paul

Both a history and a contemporary analysis, an illuminating investigation of the defining economic concern of our time.The last year has seen the return of inflation as a preoccupation of political decision-makers, economists, and the general public. After two decades of wondering why inflation was so low, despite vast economic stimulus, economists were surprised by the recent surge in price increases. Despite disagreement about what exactly is happening in the economy, there is unanimity in one belief: slowing growth to control inflation. To focus on inflation's return, Paul Mattick looks at both the past and present, placing current events in the context of capitalism's history. Exploring the nature of money itself, he provides a concise, jargon-free understanding of recent inflation as well as official efforts to control it, illuminating the state of our contemporary
