Written to tie in with a BBC2 series, this book examines the enormous impact of railways on the modern world. The coming of the railways heralded a new world order dominated by industrial innovation and corporate enterprise. Across the world competing powers carved up territories with railways, using them to plunder resources and build modern cities. Railways helped to bind together vast empires in India, Russia, Africa and Latin America, and forged the union of the states of America. Today, after 150 years of railway supremacy followed by its decline, there is a renaissance. While France vies with Japan to create the fastest train on earth, the Chinese see a future for steam power in their coal-rich country. The Channel Tunnel is only one example of the many projects under construction throughout the world, from new tunnels under the Alps to bridges across the Baltic. The author's other books include "Return Train" and "The World the Railways Made".... v angličtine,tvrdá väzba,obal,kriedový papier,farebná a čiernobiela obrazová príloha

The Gypsy Madonna

Mischa knows what it is to be abandoned. His German father disappeared at the end of the war, leaving him and his mother to endure the hatred and contempt of all the French villagers, the two of them against the world. And his surrogate father vanishes too, with no word of explanation. Mischa bears these scars into manhood. Only when his mother dies, revealing the existence of a priceless masterpiece, does he go on the trail of his own history. He makes a pilgrimage into the past, to that French village of his childhood, and there he uncovers the secret of the Gypsy Madonna.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 372 strán

The Knave of Diamonds

Spisovatel: Dell Ethel M., LP 1974
Katalogové číslo: H540

1912. Dell, British writer, began writing at a young age. Most of her stories were stories of passion and love set in India and other British colonial possessions. "The Knave of Diamonds begins": There came a sudden blare of music from the great ballroom below, and the woman who stood alone at an open window on the first floor shrugged her shoulders and shivered a little. The night air blew in brisk and cold upon her uncovered neck, but except for that slight, involuntary shiver she scarcely seemed aware of it. The room behind her was brilliantly lighted but empty. Some tables had been set for cards, but the cards were untouched. Either the attractions of the ballroom had remained omnipotent, or no one had penetrated to this refuge of the bored - no one save this tall and stately woman robed in shimmering, iridescent green, who stood with her face to the night, breathing the chill air as one who had been on the verge of suffocation. It was evidently she who had flung up the window. Her gloved hands leaned upon the woodwork on each side of it. There was a certain constraint in her whole attitude, a tension that was subtly evident in every graceful line.... v angličtine, tvrdá väzba, bez obalu, väčší formát, 580 strán
