Cudzojazyčná / Anglická

A Buddhist monk takes up arms to resist the Chinese invasion of Tibet - then spends the rest of his life trying to atone for the violence by hand printing the best prayer flags in India. A Jain nun tests her powers of detachment as she watches her best friend ritually starve herself to death. Nine people, nine lives; each one taking a different religious path, each one an unforgettable story. William Dalrymple delves deep into the heart of a nation torn between the relentless onslaught of modernity and the ancient traditions that endure to this day... v angličtine, obal, tvrdá väzba, 285 strán

Spisovatel: Siddons Anne Rivers, Warner Books 1993
Katalogové číslo: G3559

This truly compelling novel is a magnificent kaleidoscope of the emotions that we most cherish and fear. Showcasing the rare talent of Anne Rivers Siddons at her finest, Hill Towns probes deeply into the multiple meanings of love and relationships, as seen through the prism of one woman.As a small child, a single event irrevocably changed the life of Catherine Gaillard and rendered her unable to leave her cloistered mountaintop town in Tennessee for the next 30 years. Her devotion to her husband, Joe, and her desire to forever put this incident behind her propel Cat on a life-changing voyage to Italy.Making their way across the Tuscany countryside in the company of newly married friends and an exuberant painter and his enigmatic wife, Cat and Joe feel the fabric that holds their marriage together -- so carefully woven together at home begin to unravel. The once-carefree trip turns into a journey to the very heart of their relationship...and the ultimate test of their love.... brožovaná, v angličtine,356 strán

Blood country

Spisovatel: Ruff Ivan, Heinemann Ltd 1988
Katalogové číslo: G4727

This suspenseful thriller, set in the English moor country, revolves around the arrival of a fugitive who warns of a threat of nuclear terrorism and a possible plot to establish a police state--a tale that seems incredible until events at the local nuclear reactor plant seem to bear him out. Added to all this is a triangular romance between the hunted man and a local naturalist and his girlfriend, as well as loving and beautiful descriptions of the moor and its birds and plants. This otherwise exciting novel is burdened with some gratuitous and graphic sex scenes that add nothing to the story....tvrdá väzba, obal, 280 strán
