William F. Mann Knihy

Podľa amerického spisovateľa W.F. Manna vplával v roku 1398, takmer 100 rokov pred Kolumbovým objavom Ameriky, do dnešného Nového Škótska škótsky princ sir Henry Sinclaire a našiel tu bezpečné útočisko pre svätý grál – svätú pokrvnú líniu založenú Ježišom a Máriou Magdalénou, ktorá cez potomkov spája Davidov Dom a dynastiu Merovejovcov – až do roku 1755, keď Briti vyhnali všetkých obyvateľov Akádie. Na svoje tvrdenia našiel Mann oporu v archeologických nálezoch o mieste kolónie založenej Sinclairom, v posvätnej geometrii templárov a ich nasledovníkov v Novom svete, v klasickej mytológii, ale aj v indiánskych legendách. Kniha je fascinujúcim a objavným čítaním, ktoré zaujme hľadačov tajomstiev a pokladov.

"New York Times Bestseller Edgar Award winner for Best Fact Crime The Day of the Locust meets The Devil in the White City and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in this juicy, untold Hollywood story: an addictive true tale of ambition, scandal, intrigue, murder, and the creation of the modern film industry. By 1920, the movies had suddenly become America's new favorite pastime, and one of the nation's largest industries. Never before had a medium possessed such power to influence. Yet Hollywood's glittering ascendency was threatened by a string of headline-grabbing tragedies-including the murder of William Desmond Taylor, the popular president of the Motion Picture Directors Association, a legendary crime that has remained unsolved until now. In a fiendishly involving narrative, bestselling Hollywood chronicler William J. Mann draws on a rich host of sources, including recently released FBI files, to unpack the story of the enigmatic Taylor and the diverse cast that surrounded him-including three beautiful, ambitious actresses; a grasping stage mother; a devoted valet; and a gang of two-bit thugs, any of whom might have fired the fatal bullet. And overseeing this entire landscape of intrigue was Adolph Zukor, the brilliant and ruthless founder of Paramount, locked in a struggle for control of the industry and desperate to conceal the truth about the crime."--Publisher's description
