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.

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.

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.

Homes For Our Time
Across small cottages and lavish villas, beach houses and forest refuges, discover the world's finest crop of new homes. This cutting-edge global digest features such talents as Shigeru Ban and Marcio Kogan alongside up-and-coming names like Aires Mateus, Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa. Here, there are homes in Australia and New Zealand, from China and Vietnam, in the United States and Mexico, and on to less expected places like Ecuador and Costa Rica. The result is a sweeping survey of the contemporary house and a revelation that homes across the globe may have more in common than expected.
Among guava trees and abandoned forts in Western India is a sanctuary designed for and by Kamal Malik of Malik Architecture. The House of Three Streams is a sprawling spectacle with high ceilings, verandas, and pavilions, perched atop a ridge overlooking two ravines. A medley of steel, glass, wood, and stone, the house weaves along the contour of the landscape, almost as an extension of the forest. Encina House by Aranguren & Gallegos, an elegant, sloping structure reminiscent of a gazebo, similarly inhabits its surrounding vista. Ensconced in a pine forest north of Madrid, the lower level is embedded in rock and connected to the upper by a natural stone wall. Shinichi Ogawa's Seaside House is an immaculate two-story minimalist marvel in Kanagawa that overlooks the Pacific. Its living area spills onto a cantilevered terrace and infinity pool, almost dissolving into the ocean as one seamless entity. In Vietnam, Shunri Nishizawa's House in Chau Doc exudes tropical sophistication with exposed timber beams, woven bamboo, plants, concrete panels, and inner balconies and terraces. Its corrugated iron panels act as moveable walls and shutters, ushering in views of surrounding rice fields.These homes-along with more than 50 others-are each remarkably distinct in design. They all, however, toe the line between inside and outside, each one symbiotic with its surroundings.
