"The second edition... includes some new facts as well as number of toys which we previously knew only from black and white photographs. We were able to make photo documentation and include it in the book. These are, for instance, her early rubber toys, such as the Elephant or Libuška, and many inflatables, including the Caterpillar and Little Horse, which has been re-introduced into the Fatra's product range. I have also updated the monograph with information on a touring retrospective exhibition which we showed in Zlín, Prague and Paris and included details of a permanent exhibition about Fatra in the Napajedla Town Museum which opened in June this year. The new edition is complete with a double page on Fatra and new toys made by Czech contemporary designers continuing in the tradition of Mrs Niklová's art work"--Publisher's web site.

On the Sussex Downs in 1066, the psychotic William and his gang of European mercenaries began the process which fragmented a civilisation. Walt, the last of King Harold's bodyguard, the one who survived Hastings, wanders across Asia Minor in the company of Quint, an intellectual renegade monk. On the way he unfolds the events that led up to the battle which affected the destinies of every English man and woman. With rare skill, Rathbone vividly recreates a civilisation that stubbornly remains alive in the collective memory to this day, and so identifies the roots of the still-held belief that every English person is born free and should stay free. Tender romance, savage war, courtly intrigue and some wry humour combine to make THE LAST ENGLISH KING an exhilarating roller-coaster ride into our past.

Tento slovník je určen primárně všem, jejichž rodným jazykem je angličtina a chtějí se zdokonalit v češtině. Cílem je usnadnit orientaci v základních slovech a názvech a pokročilým rozšířit slovní zásobu nebo upřesnit některé výrazy, které jsou pro české rodilé mluvčí samozřejmostí. Slovník se nevyhýbá ani běžným hovorovým výrazům, které se ve slovnících spisovného jazyka obvykle nevyskytují. Přes 1600 hesel se tu čtenáři představuje prostřednictvím barevných fotografií a kreseb.
