It's a blazing summer when two men arrive in the village. They're coming for gold. What they bring is trouble. Cal Hooper was a Chicago detective, till he moved to the West of Ireland looking for peace. He's found it, more or less - in his relationship with local woman Lena, and the bond he's formed with half-wild teenager Trey. So when two men turn up with a money-making scheme to find gold in the townland, Cal gets ready to do whatever it takes to protect Trey. Because one of the men is no stranger- he's Trey's father. But Trey doesn't want protecting. What she wants is revenge.

A beautiful meditation on war, violence, memory and injustice, set in the occupied Palestinian territories.

It's 1914, and talk of war feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in an idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. At seventeen, they're too young to enlist, and anyway, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle - an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the dreamy, poetic Ellwood - not having a clue that Ellwood is in love with him, always has been. When Gaunt's German mother asks him to enlist in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks, he signs up immediately, relieved to escape his overwhelming feelings for Ellwood. The front is horrific, of course, and though Gaunt tries to dissuade Ellwood from joining him on the battlefield, Ellwood soon rushes to join him. In the trenches, Ellwood and Gaunt find fleeting moments of solace in one another, but their friends are all dying, right in front of them, and at any moment they could be next. An epic tale of both the devastating tragedies of war and the forbidden romance that blooms in its grip, In Memoriam is a breathtaking debut.

Uznávaný přírodovědec a tvář populárních dokumentů BBC vypráví o svých prvních cestách do neznáma za neprostupnou panenskou divočinou. Po úspěšných výpravách do Afriky a Jižní Ameriky se David Attenborough se svým kameramanem Charlesem Lagusem na konci 50. let minulého století vydali na Madagaskar, Novou Guineu a do Tichomoří, kde natáčeli divoká zvířata a původní obyvatele s neznámými zvyky. Na ostrově Pentecost sledovali domorodé rituály, které daly vzniknout bungee jumpingu, a na Tonze se stali prvními Evropany, kteří byli svědky královského obřadu pití kavy. V australském Severním teritoriu objevovali prastaré skalní malby. Attenborough a Lagus obdivovali nádherné tvory, jako jsou rajky, chameleoni a sifaky, v jejich přirozeném prostředí. V této knize Attenborough vypráví svým okouzlujícím a vtipným stylem o mimořádných dobrodružstvích s pozoruhodnými lidmi a zvířaty. Sir David Attenborough má téměř sedmdesátiletou kariéru televizního publicisty a popularizátora přírody a jeho přelomové snímky zahrnují Život na Zemi a Modrou planetu. Je známý svou snahou o ochranu druhové pestrosti na Zemi a jeho knihy se prodaly po celém světě ve více než milionovém nákladu.
