Jaroslav Piskáček Book order

Souborné vydání tří románů Obydlený ostrov, Brouk v mraveništi a Vlny ztišují vítr. 22. století… Lidská rasa je na vrcholu svých sil. Války, nemoci, tmářství – to všechno zůstalo v dávné minulosti. Civilizace, nesmírně vyspělá nejen po technologické, ale i po mravní stránce, již dávno opustila svůj mateřský svět a její mezihvězdné lodě nyní brázdí galaxii. Někteří z pozemšťanů, známí jako progresoři, působí i na těch nejzapadlejších a nejzaostalejších planetách, kde šíří pokrok a zasévají myšlenky humanismu… Je ale pozemská civilizace skutečně hlavní silou ve vesmíru? Nebo zde působí nějaká další mocnost – skrytá, ale o to vlivnější a nebezpečnější? Jaká tajemství skrývala dávno zaniklá supercivilizace Poutníků, jejíž stopy se dodnes objevují na vzdálených planetách? A lze tuto civilizaci skutečně považovat za zaniklou? Odpovědi na tyto otázky hledá Maxim Kammerer, jehož osud a proměny sledujeme od mládí, plného optimismu a elánu, až po hluboké stáří, které přináší poznání a moudrost… ale také smutek a rozčarování. Souborné vydání tří románů Obydlený ostrov, Brouk v mraveništi a Vlny ztišují vítr.

What is so mysterious about Mystery Moor? Do the unfriendly travellers know the answer? The Famous Five risk treacherous mists to follow them across the moor. But will the trail lead to danger?

"We all know what Rainbow is," began Lamondois. "Rainbow is a planet colonized by science and designed for physical experiments." "The Far Rainbow was written at one breath, it is full of dynamics and genuine dramatism." - Literary Gazette "Science-fiction stories by the Strugatsky brothers are philosophical pieces. They are full of action but each action is clearly imbued with speculation."- Neva Magazine "Take the Far Rainbow, for instance. 'Authentic' is the word, and this is rather unusual where science fiction is concerned." - The Young Guard Magazine The brothers Boris and Arkady Strugatsky have chosen different careers. Arkady is a linguist and Boris an astronomer. Perhaps it is this divergence of interest which has helped them to describe the world of the far future so vividly. The brothers Strugatsky are among the most prominent Soviet science-fiction writers. They have written a number of works in the genre.

Librarian note: An older cover for this edition can be found here: 5-Jun-2012. A child holds the hand of his dying mother and is terrified, aware something is taking her. Orphaned and given to an itinerant barber-surgeon, Rob Cole becomes a fast-talking swindler, peddling a worthless medicine. But as he matures, his strange gift—an acute sensitivity to impending death—never leaves him, and he yearns to become a healer. Arab madrassas are the only authentic medical schools, and he makes his perilous way to Persia. Christians are barred from Muslim schools, but claiming he is a Jew, he studies under the world’s most renowned physician, Avicenna. How the woman who is his great love struggles against her only rival—medicine—makes a riveting modern classic. The Physician is the first book in New York Times–bestselling author Noah Gordon’s Dr. Robert Cole trilogy, which continues with Shaman and concludes with Matters of Choice.
