The War of the Worlds
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied. Yet across the gulf of space, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.
Then, late one night, in the middle of the English countryside, they landed.

The Art of War
The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that was written during the 6th century BC by Sun Tzu. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time.The Art of War is one of the oldest books on military strategy in the world. It is the first and one of the most successful works on strategy and has had a huge influence on Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu was the first to recognize the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a competitive environment,

The War on the West
In The War on the West, international bestselling author Douglas Murray asks: if the history of humankind is one of slavery, conquest, prejudice, genocide and exploitation, why are only Western nations taking the blame for it?
It's become perfectly acceptable to celebrate the contributions of non-Western cultures, but discussing their flaws and crimes is called hate speech. What's more it has become acceptable to discuss the flaws and crimes of Western culture, but celebrating their contributions is also called hate speech. Some of this is a much-needed reckoning; however, some is part of a larger international attack on reason, democracy, science, progress and the citizens of the West by dishonest scholars, hatemongers, hostile nations and human-rights abusers hoping to distract from their ongoing villainy.
In The War on the West, Douglas Murray shows the ways in which many well-meaning people have been lured into polarisation by lies, and shows how far the world's most crucial political debates have been hijacked across Europe and America. Propelled by an incisive deconstruction of inconsistent arguments and hypocritical activism, The War on the West is an essential and urgent polemic that cements Murray's status as one of the world's foremost political writers.

Ring smrti
Dej románu, ktorý autor situoval na západné Slovensko v rokoch 1942 až 1947, poskytuje čitateľovi množstvo strhujúco vyrozprávaných príbehov a pestrú škálu ľudských charakterov a osudov. Hlavné postavy, Maťo a Ondro, sú dvojičky na nerozoznanie, no povahy majú odlišné, preto sa ich životné cesty často vzďaľujú, a zas prepájajú, najmä, keď sa ich podobnosť má stať dramatickou zápletkou.
Popri tragických udalostiach, ako napríklad prenasledovanie Židov, boxerské zápasy o život v nemeckom lágri, či postupné presadzovanie sa komunistov po vojne, s ktorými sa spájajú prejavy ľudskej ľahostajnosti, bezohľadnej túžby po moci a bohatstve, v knihe možno nájsť tiež množstvo pozitívnych prvkov, ako zmysel pre obetavosť, láskyplnosť, ochotu nezištne pomôcť, ba i riskovať. Konanie postáv naznačuje, že v človeku sa rôznorodé, i protichodné črty často stretávajú a navzájom zápasia neraz v nádeji na druhú šancu. Niektorí však novú šancu už nedostanú, pretože sa stávajú obeťami záhadného vraha...
Osobitý rozmer knihe dávajú bohato zastúpené historické reálie a snaha o zachytenie atmosféry doby. Obzvlášť detailne je podaný obraz Nitry s vtedajšími názvami ulíc, budov, častí mesta i okolitých obcí, pričom do literárnej línie príbehov sú zakomponované aj skutočné postavy.

But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
