Michael West

    Michael West je autorom, ktorého diela skúmajú temné zákutia ľudskej psychiky a nadprirodzeného. Jeho písanie je charakteristické mrazivou atmosférou a hlbokými, často znepokojivými témami. West sa majstrovsky pohybuje na pomedzí hororu a fantasy, kde sa realita prelína s nočnými morami. Čitatelia si jeho príbehy obľúbili pre ich sugestívnosť a schopnosť vyvolať silné emócie.

      Pán Scrooge je známy ako lakomec a jeho chamtivosť nepozná hraníc. Dokonca ani na Vianoce sa jeho tvrdé srdce neobmäkčí, len podráždene a s kyslým výrazom na tvári sleduje predvianočný zhon. Nečakaná a tajuplná návšteva, ktorá ho vyľaká, však mnohé zmení. Navštívi ho Marley, jeho dávny obchodný partner, čo by však nebolo nič neobvyklé, keby Marley nebol dávno mŕtvy. A nebude to len duch Marleyho, ale pána Scroogea prídu osobne pozrieť aj ďalšie prízraky. Štedrý deň sa neúprosne blíži a s ním možnosť vykúpenia. Prehodnotí Scrooge svoj doterajší život, alebo sa bude naďalej utápať v pocitoch odporu a nenávisti? Najkrajší príbeh veľkého anglického rozprávača " Vianočná koleda" z roku 1843 aj v súčasnosti dokáže zaujať a osloviť čitateľov po celom svete.

      HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Thomas Hughes' novel about the mischievous but kind-hearted schoolboy Tom Brown inspired other school novels, including Frank Richards' Billy Bunter stories and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The novel begins at Tom's childhood home in the Vale of the White Horse, where he spends his days out in the fields with his pony. This early idyllic setting it set up as a contrast to the stresses that Tom undergoes later at Rugby boarding school when he encounters the bully Flashman. Tom is helped through his struggles by his friends Harry 'Scud' East and the frail but brilliant George Arthur, whom Tom protects, and who ultimately helps Tom develop into a young gentleman ready for Oxford university.
