Bones and All (slovenský preklad)
Predloha rovnomenného filmu Lucu Guadagnina podľa scenára Davida Kajganicha. V hlavných úlohách Taylor Russell, Timothée Chalamet a Mark Rylance.
Maren Yearlyová nechce viac než ostatní: túži len po rodičovskej láske a domove. Ťaží ju však desivé tajomstvo. Robí zlé veci, a hoci sa za ne nenávidí, nedokáže si pomôcť.
Keď mala dva roky, mama jej našla v ústach ušný bubienok. Patril Mareninej opatrovateľke. Okolo Maren mizli ľudia a jej mame neostávalo nič iné, len zakaždým zbaliť skromný majetok do auta a utekať s ňou preč. Až do šestnástich Maren chránila pred svetom (alebo svet pred ňou?). Aj materinská láska má však svoje hranice...
Ak sa má Maren popasovať s vlastným osudom, potrebuje v prvom rade zistiť, kto alebo čo vlastne je. Preto sa vydáva hľadať svojho otca a na tejto démonickej ceste sa v jej živote po prvýkrát objavia nejasné vyhliadky na lásku.
Úvod do řádu Skull and Bones
Skull and Bones (česky Lebka a kosti) je tajný spolek na Yaleově univerzitě ve Spojených státech. Byl založen na půdě univerzity roku 1832 americkým obchodníkem, pedagogem a politikem Williamem Huntingtonem Russellem, jehož předkem byl Noadiah Russell, spoluzakladatel univerzity. Členem spolku se může stát pouze student čtvrtého ročníku navržený již stávajícím členem. Členové této skupiny často pocházejí z prominentních rodin, velmi často jde o potomky politiků či jiných vlivných osobností. Členy klubu byli v minulosti například bývalí američtí prezidenti William Howard Taft, George H. W. Bush či jeho syn George W. Bush. Klub každoročně přijímá 15 členů, členové jsou nazýváni "bonesmen". Nejposvátnějším místem klubu je budova nazývaná "Hrobka" (Tomb) v New Haven, Connecticut, stavba nemá okna a pochází z roku 1856.

Lacná kniha Mapping The Bones (-70%)
From the best-selling and award-winning author of The Devil's Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, comes her first Holocaust novel in nearly thirty years. Influenced by Dr. Mengele's sadistic experimentations, this story follows twins as they travel from the Lodz ghetto, to the partisans in the forest, to a horrific concentration camp where they lose everything but each other. It's 1942 in Poland, and the world is coming to pieces. At least that's how it seems to Chaim and Gittel, twins whose lives feel like a fairy tale torn apart, with evil witches, forbidden forests, and dangerous ovens looming on the horizon. But in all darkness there is light, and the twins find it through Chaim's poetry and the love they have for each other. Like the bright flame of a Yahrzeit candle, his words become a beacon of memory so that the children and grandchildren of survivors will never forget the atrocities that happened during the Holocaust. Filled with brutality and despair, this is also a story of poetry and strength, in which a brother and sister lose everything but each other. Nearly thirty years after the publication of her award-winning and bestselling The Devil's Arithmetic and Briar Rose, Yolen once again returns to World War II and captivates her readers with the authenticity and power of her words. Praise for Mapping the Bones: "Jane Yolen's Mapping the Bones is a swift and deadly drama with overtones of dark fable we all wish we could forget. But this book, a shining star held in a trembling palm, requires us to remember." --Gregory Maguire, internationally bestselling author of Wicked "Mapping the Bones is spare and beautiful and haunting. Jane Yolen has created a masterpiece." --Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of The War That Saved My Life "Master storyteller Jane Yolen has outdone herself. This is a compelling, important, necessary, and timely book that deserves the widest audience possible." --Lesléa Newman, award-winning author of Still Life with Buddy "In the hands of the superb Jane Yolen, folklore and fact connect in a harrowing testimony to horror and to love. Brutal, relentless, prophetic, and full of truth." --Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity "A compassionate, unflinching, unforgettable Nazi labor camp Hansel & Gretel tale woven by America's finest spinner of Holocaust stories for young readers." --Julie Berry, author of the Printz Honor Book The Passion of Dolssa "[An] expansive, eloquent novel." --Publishers Weekly "Yolen does a superb job of dramatizing the horrors of WWII and the Holocaust, bringing vivid fear and suspense to her captivating story. It makes for altogether memorable and essential reading." --Booklist "[A] breath-taking and heartbreaking look at the horrors of war and the lengths people go to overcome." --Voice of Youth Advocates "Fans of Yolen's The Devil's Arithmetic will be engrossed in this story until the last page." --School Library Journal "[A] well-rounded story of a very difficult time that shows the resiliency of these young people." --School Library Connection

Bones & All – Szőröstül-bőröstül
Maren Yearly ugyanazt szeretné, amit mindenki: hogy elfogadják, szeressék és tiszteljék, a kamasz lány azonban szörnyű, szégyenteljes titkot rejteget: időnként nem tud ellenállni a késztetésnek, hogy emberi húst egyen.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love.

What comes next is a story of friendship and rivalry, fame and creativity, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, ultimately, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Zrcadlová četba - Crime and Punishment (B1-B2)
This abridged and linguistically adapted version of Crime and Punishment endeavors to introduce the reader to the masterpiece of the Russian author Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky. The writer himself characterized it as a psychological record of one crime. Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff is a poor student who has been forced to give up his university studies. He withdraws from society and plans to murder an old moneylender. He is convinced that murder and robbery of a despicable, mean old woman who oppresses her sister and exploits her clients will sure enough be excused, or even approved of, and make many good deeds possible. But this story is not about the crime... Tato jazykově upravená a zestručněná verze románu Zločin a trest se čtenáři pokouší představit vrcholné dílo ruského autora Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského. Spisovatel sám jej charakterizoval jako psychologický záznam jednoho zločinu. Rodion Romanovič Raskolnikov je chudý student, který byl z finančních důvodů nucen zanechat studia na univerzitě. Stáhne se i ze společnosti a naplánuje vraždu staré lichvářky. Je přesvědčen, že vražda a oloupení zavrženíhodné, zlé stařeny, která utiskuje svou sestru a odírá své klienty, bude jistě prominuta, ne-li dokonce schvalována, a umožní mnoho dobrých skutků. Tento příběh však není o zločinu...
Murder Under the Microscope
Most murders are not difficult to solve. People are usually killed by someone they know, there is usually abundant evidence and the police methods used to investigate this type of crime are highly effective. But what about the more difficult cases, where the investigation involves an unusual death, an unusual killer, or is complex or politically charged? In these cases, bringing the accused before the courts can take many years, even then, the outcome may be contentious or unresolved.
In this compelling and chilling memoir, Jim Fraser draws on his personal experience as a forensic scientist and cold case reviewer to give a unique insight into some of the most notable cases that he has investigated during his forty-year career, including the deaths of Rachel Nickell, Damilola Taylor and Gareth Williams, the GCHQ code breaker.
Inviting the reader into the forensic scientist's micro-world, Murder Under the Microscope reveals not only how each of these cases unfolded as a human, investigative and scientific puzzle, but also why some were solved and why others remain unsolved or controversial even to this day.
