Cudzojazyčná / Anglická

This anthology dwells on travel for travel´s sake...for the wonder of a panorama at sunset, fot the half-heard sound of drums throbbing in the hills. Writers and photographers are your guides through a bustling world, and from their eager curiosity some graphic glimpses of people, places and the enchantment of strange lands...v angličtine, tvrdá väzba v úvode uvoľnená, 366 strán, väčší formát

The World Below

Spisovatel: Miller Sue, Bloomsbury 2001
Katalogové číslo: E8147

Cath Hubbard, a San Francisco woman in her 50s, returns to her grandmother's small Vermont house after the death of an aunt who left the property to Cath and her brother Lawrence. Cath had lived with her grandparents for a few years in her teens, after her mother's suicide, and now makes her wounded way back, in the wake of a divorce, to sort through her memories of her beloved grandmother, Georgia. This is the standard fare of American literary fiction: a life change prompting a search into the past. What is far less ordinary is Miller's placid, nuanced depiction of her protagonist's emotional journey. None of Cath's feelings can be easily predicted by the reader, but all of them ring true. She finds her grandmother's diary and begins to fill in the stories that Georgia had hinted at over the years. What Cath discovers in her grandmother's journal is a secret that has lost its power to shock; and that very wearing away of taboo adds to the poignancy of Georgia's restricted life. Her story unfolds against a backdrop of Cath's more immediate griefs and concerns and begins to recede as Cath's San Francisco life returns to claim her. Miller's prose appears effortless, but is like the gestures of a magician that conceal how the trick is accomplished. The result is a sage, continually surprising novel about finding peace of mind in a combination of habit, love, and self-determination.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 275 strán

The Warrior Kings

Spisovatel: Miles Keith, Fontana/Collins 1978
Katalogové číslo: M611

It was perfect place for an ambush. The hill commanded a clear view of the road for several miles. There was good cover on its wooded summit, where the ash and beech and durmast oak were in full leaf, to muffle the sounds from the small encampment... v angličtine, brožovaná, menší formát, 255 strán
