The Great Gatsby - Velký Gatsby
Anglicko-česká zrcadlová četba pro středně pokročilé. Velký Gatsby je nejslavnějším románem Francise Scotta Fitzgeralda. Příběh se odehrává v New Yorku 20. let minulého století, kdy nečekaná hospodářská prosperita přinesla i ztrátu morálních hodnot. Jay Gatsby se ve snaze získat milovanou dívku dostane do nejvyšších vrstev společnosti, kde je vyhledáván pro své bohatství i tajemství, jež ho obestírá, ale nikdy do ní opravdu nezapadne, neboť pro něj jsou stále nejvyšší hodnotou vztahy mezi lidmi. Gatsbyho tragický konec je absurdním omylem, jako by jen podtrhoval prázdnotu a povrchnost světa bohatých.
The Great Gatsby is the most famous novel by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. The story takes place in New York of 1920s, when unexpected economic prosperity brought about the loss of moral values. Jay Gatsby, trying to get his beloved girl gets into the high society, becoming popular for his richness and mystery that exists around him, but never really fits into it, because human relationships are still the highest value for him. Gatsbys tragic end is an absurd mistake, as if it only emphasizes the emptiness and superficiality of the rich world.
The Great Plains and Other Great Experiences/Velké pláně a další velké zážitky
"Americký Středozápad je dalším tématem, který zaujal autorku po napsání knížek o našich krajanech v Texasu. Stejně jako do Texasu odcházeli lidé z českých zemí do Kansasu, Nebrasky, Iowy a dalších míst, kde se mohli usadit. Byla zde úrodná půda a i když, hlavně z počátku tu život nebyl rozhodně lehký, měli zde možnost svobodného podnikání, ať v řemeslech či v zemědělství.
Autorka se ve svých reportážích a rozhovorech ještě částečně vrací do Texasu, dále provází čtenáře českou částí Iowy, kde nechybí výlet do Spillville a vzpomínka a dokumenty na zdejší pobyt Antonína Dvořáka v roce 1893, představení tamějšího muzea bratrů Bílých, kteří vyřezávali ze dřeva světové unikátní hrací hodiny a kde je byt, kde slavný skladatel tehdy bydlel, dále představení známého českého muzea v Cedar Rapids, aj. Ale nejen muzea, české kostely, školy a hřbitovy jsou v knize popisovány. Více prostoru je věnováno současným a význačným Čechům jako např. bratrům Klimešovým (původem z Jižních Čech), kteří se starají o veškerou historii a památky Iowy, elegantní a aktivní honorární konzulce Kansasu Sharon Valasek, absolventce vojenské školy a nyní farmářce a chovatelce závodních koní Marii J., atd. "
Zrcadlová četba - Great Expectations - Nadějné vyhlídky (B1-B2)
Příběh malého Pipa začíná v bažinatém kraji Kentu. Když tam jednou o Vánocích náhodou potká uprchlého vězně, netuší, že se jeho život už brzy navždy změní. Sled úžasných událostí následujících po tomto setkání a tragický, záhadný příběh slečny Havishamové a její krásné, ale chladné adoptivní dcery Estelly činí z Nadějných vyhlídek jedno z nejoblíbenějších děl Charlese Dickense.
The story of young Pip starts on marshes of Kent. When he accidentally meets an escaped convict one Christmas Eve, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. The amazing events following that encounter, and the tragic, mysterious tale of Miss Havisham and her beautiful but cold adoptive daughter Estella, have made Great Expectations one of Dicken’s best-loved works.
Alenka za zrcadlem - Through the Looking-Glass

Nothing is more inviting to disclose your secrets than to be told by others of their own ...
London, June 1965. Karl Braun arrives as a lodger in Pimlico: hatless, with a bow-tie, greying hair, slight in build. His new neighbours are intrigued by this cultured German gentleman who works as a piano tuner; many are fellow emigres, who assume that he, like them, came to England to flee Hitler. That summer, Braun courts a woman, attends classical concerts, dances the twist. But as the newspapers fill with reports of the hunt for Nazi war criminals, his nightmares become increasingly worse.

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.

Lady Gemma Ashbourne seemingly has it all. She's young, gorgeous, and rich. Her family was Anointed by the gods, blessed with incredible abilities.

Her father and eldest sister, Farrin-embroiled in a deadly blood feud with the mysterious Bask family-often forget Gemma exists.
Worst of all, Gemma is the only Ashbourne to possess no magic. Instead, her body fights it like poison. Constantly ill, aching with loneliness, Gemma craves love and yearns to belong.
Then she meets the devastatingly handsome Talan d'Astier. His family destroyed themselves, seduced by a demon, and Talan, the only survivor, is determined to redeem their honor. Intrigued and enchanted, Gemma proposes a bargain: She'll help Talan navigate high society if he helps her destroy the Basks.

But attacks on the Middlemist are increasing. The plot against the Basks quickly spirals out of control. And something immense and terrifying is awakening in Gemma, drawing her inexorably toward Talan and an all-consuming passion that could destroy her-or show her the true strength of her power at last.
