György Bihari Knihy

V USA sa prezident musí vyrovnávať s následkami hospodárskej krízy. A v Rusku nádej, ktorú mala priniesť revolúcia, zhltne teror boľševikov. Zima sveta, druhý diel ságy Storočie, rozpráva príbeh ďalších generácií rodín známych z Pádu titanov. Jedni zatvárajú oči pred neprávosťou, druhí jasne chápu, čo sa deje v mene ideológie. Hrdinstvo a tragédia, prispôsobenie sa a vzopretie, láska a nenávisť vytvárajú osudnú spleť na pozadí druhej svetovej vojny, ktorá bola obrovským historickým zlomom. S hrmením zbraní prišlo aj nové usporiadanie sveta. Mnohí kritici nazvali Follettovo dielo trýznivou lekciou dejepisu či nezvyčajným dejinným eposom. S tým môžeme len súhlasiť, lebo autorova sila popri vynikajúcich fundovaných rešeršiach spočíva vo vykreslení komplexných postáv, ktoré sa počas deja dostávajú do konfliktov. A čas pred druhou svetovou vojnou a po nej je na to ako stvorený.

After being captured and ransomed by pirates and left to seek revenge on foreign soil, Julius Caesar is reunited with his lifelong friend, Marcus Brutus, to protect the city of Rome from an uprising led by rebel slave Spartacus

Following the defeat of the Spartacus rebellion, Julius Caesar and Marcus Brutus, who have been sent to run the Roman colonies in Spain, return to challenge powerful senators to become one of the Consuls of Rome. Political opposition, family quarrels, armed rebellions and corruption make this a highly contemporary scene.

Staatschef "Major" organisiert zur allgemeinen Belustigung einen "Todesmarsch", einen Marathon auf Leben und Tod, an dem 100 Jugendliche teilnehmen. Nur einer kann siegen, und die Überlebenschancen stehen 1:100. Die Verlierer erwartet der Tod.

A wanderer and a cursed child. Spells and magic. And dragons, of course. Welcome back to the world of Alagaesia. It's been a year since Eragon departed Alagaesia in search of the perfect home to train a new generation of Dragon Riders. Now he is struggling with an endless sea of tasks- constructing a vast dragonhold, guarding dragon eggs and dealing with Urgals and elves. Then a vision from the Eldunari and an exciting legend offer a much-needed distraction and a new perspective. Three fantastic original stories, interspersed with scenes from Eragon's own unfolding adventure and an excerpt from the memoir of Angela the herbalist, penned by Angela Paolini.

From the spectacle of gladiatorial combat to the intrigue of the Senate, from the foreign wars that secure the power of the empire to the betrayals that threaten to tear it apart, this is the remarkable story of the man who would become the greatest Roman of them all: Julius Caesar. In the city of Rome, a titanic power struggle is about to shake the Republic to its core. Citizen will fight citizen in a bloody conflict – and Julius Caesar, cutting his teeth in battle, will be in the thick of the action. The first instalment in the bestselling Emperor series.
