Eoin Colfer Knihy

Láskavo podaný príbeh o jedinečnom pute medzi chlapcom a jeho psíkom aj o uzdravujúcej sile hudby. Oz vo svojom krátkom psom živote trpel v rukách zlých ľudí. Mama mu síce povedala, že niekde práve preňho žije chlapec, no Oz už nevie, komu môže veriť. Odkedy si Patrik pamätá, vždy túžil mať psa, s ktorým by sa mohol hrávať a rozprávať. Kamoša. Najlepšieho priateľa. Keď Patrik nájde Oza, je odhodlaný z vystrašeného, ubitého psíka jemne a trpezlivo vydolovať jeho prirodzený prejav – brechanie. Potom môžu byť konečne obaja šťastní. Podarí sa im to?

Pre Artemisa nie sú problémy ničím novým. Dá sa povedať, že ich priam priťahuje. Ľudožraví trollovia, ozbrojení a nebezpeční (a technologicky vybavení) škriatkovia, goblini chrliaci plamene – s tým všetkým sa už stretol. Rozhodol sa pustiť do kriminálnej činnosti väčšmi spätej s mágiou. Lenže... Jeho matka je teraz smrteľne chorá. Artemis Fowl musí cestovať späť do minulosti, aby ukradol liek z rúk mladého majstra zločinu – z rúk Artemisa Fowla. Veru tak. So škriatkovskou pomocníčkou kapitánkou Helou Krátkou po svojom boku sa Artemis vracia do minulosti, aby zviedol súboj sám so sebou. Dobrodružstvo sa môže začať.

Artemisov otec sa po päťročnom väznení vracia domov ako nový človek – a na Artemisovo zdesenie ako čestný muž. Musí otcovi sľúbiť, že sa vzdá dráhy kriminálnika. Predtým však ešte chce dokončiť svoj posledný plán. Artemis zostrojil superpočítač z technológie, ktorú ukradol škriatkom. Prístroj sa volá C-kocka a aj tá najnovšia ľudská technológia je v porovnaní s ňou zastaraná. Dohodne si stretnutie s vplyvným chicagským obchodníkom Jonom Spirom, aby s ním uzavrel obchod týkajúci sa, ako inak, C-kocky. No Spiro mu nastaví pascu – ukradne jeho vynález a smrteľne zraní Butlera. Artemis vie, že jediná nádej na záchranu verného osobného strážcu spočíva v použití magických schopností škriatkov. Opäť sa teda musí stretnúť so svojou starou súperkou, kapitánkou Helou Krátkou z LEP-rechaunskej škriatovskej polície. Butlera zachráni už len zázrak a tentoraz sa zdá, že Artemisova zásoba šťastia sa práve minula...

Siedmy diel svetoznámej série. Artemis vložil celý majetok do projektu na záchranu planéty a jej obyvateľov. Môže to byť pravda? Skutočne sa najväčší kriminálny génius dal na dobré chodníčky?

Kriminálny génius Artemis Fowl sa vracia... a s ním aj jeho skvelá a nebezpečná protivníčka Opal Koboiová. Artemis sa spočiatku vôbec nepamätá na svet škriatkov a vracia sa na svoje nezákonné chodníčky. V Mníchove sa chystá ukradnúť slávnu impresionistickú maľbu z Medzinárodnej banky. Nevie, že jeho stará nepriateľka Opal utiekla z väzenia - a na svojom mieste zanechala klon. Teraz pripravuje pomstu všetkým, ktorí jej ublížili, vrátane Artemisa.

To by nebol Artemis Fowl, aby sa zase do niečoho nezaplietol. A opäť to súvisí s problémami Spoločenstva škriatkov. Časové kúzlo, ktoré udržiavalo démonov v inej dimenzii, sa čoraz rýchlejšie rozpadáva...

ôsmy a zároveň posledný diel Artemisových dobrodružstiev. Zdá sa, že Artemisa Fowla v našom svete už takmer nič nezastraší. Vo svete škriatkov však existuje maličká bytosť, ktorá ho už neraz výdatne potrápila. V záverečnej časti série má zlopovestná víla opäť priam diabolský plán, túži vyhubiť ľudstvo a stať sa kráľovnou víl. Prvým krokom je útek z väzenia, ďalším vzkriesenie mŕtvych škriatkovských bojovníkov, ktorí majú v jej plánoch významnú úlohu. Nie vlastnou vinou sa v jej službách ocitnú aj Artemisovi štvorroční bratia, čo len prilieva olej do ohňa Artemisovho hnevu. Podarí sa mladému kriminálnemu géniovi a obetavej lepkáčskej kapitánke zastaviť šialenú vílu a odvrátiť hroziaci armagedon? Eoin Colfer, skvelý rozprávač s vyvinutým zmyslom pre humor pripravil svojim fanúšikom strhujúce a napínavé finále osemdielnej série.

Eoin Colfer, autor Artemisa Fowla, prichádza s druhým pokračovaním jedinečnej série o programe P.A.S.C.A. (Premiestňovanie Anonymných Svedkov Chránených Agentúrou). Sedemnásťročná agentka Chevie Savanová sa vracia do súčasnosti po časopriestorovom výlete do viktoriánskej éry. V súčasnej Európe je však všetko inak. Pri moci je militantné fašistické hnutie, ktoré drží obyvateľov starého kontinentu v šachu vyhrážkami a hrôzovládou. Za obeť im padol aj vynálezca časostroja profesor Smart a Chevie opäť hľadá útočisko v minulosti. Zmena však zasiahla aj minulosť, kde Rileyho prenasledujú futuristickí vojaci. Chevie a Riley si ako jediní pamätajú, ako by minulosť, prítomnosť a budúcnosť mali vyzerať, a je len na nich, aby zastavili plukovníka Boxa, ktorý chce zničiť svet.

Artemis Fowl je nezvyčajný trinásťročný chlapec, ktorý sa svojou genialitou postará svojmu okoliu o množstvo problémov. A nielen im, ale aj svetu škriatkov, kentaurom a mýtickým postavám. Preto je prirodzené, že keď sa goblini začnú búriť proti škriatkovskej polícii a používajú pritom ľudskú technológiu, kapitánka škriatkov Hela Krátka sa rozhodne poradiť sa s Artemisom a jeho pobočníkom Butlerom. Artemis nie je zodpovedný za chaos vo svete škriatkov, no uzavrie s Helou dohodu — pomôže škriatkom, ak oni pomôžu jemu oslobodiť jeho otca z rúk ruskej mafie.

Slávny čarodejnícky učeň Harry Potter dostáva konkurenciu – dvanásťročného chlapca Artemisa Fowla. Artemis je netypický hrdina, ktorý unáša škriatkov a kradne tajomstvá. Medzi Artemisom a škriatkami z Dolného sveta, čo sa snažia oslobodiť zo zajatia leprechaunku Helu Krátku, prepukne nemilosrdný boj. Kapitánka Hela Krátka používa metódy Jamesa Bonda a Artemis proti nej bojuje svojím mimoriadne vyvinutým dôvtipom o skrytý zlatý poklad.

Nová, napínavá a dobrodružná séria, ktorá vás prevedie viktoriánskym Anglickom i súčasným Londýnom, od autora úspešných kníh o Artemisovi Fowlovi. Londýn, štvrť Bloomsbury v roku 1898. Riley je mladý učeň u vychýreného nájomného zabijaka Garricka. Riley má práve vykonať svoju prvú vraždu, keď sa obeť preberie a prenesie Rileyho v čase do súčasnosti. O sto rokov neskôr má sedemnásťročná špeciálna agentka Chevie Savanová jedinú úlohu: strážiť zvláštnu kapsulu v suteréne. Za trest. Niekoľko mesiacov je to najnudnejší džob pod slnkom, keď zrazu vypadne elektrický prúd v polovici Londýna a mestom otriasa zemetrasenie, ktorého epicentrum sa nachádza v Chevienej pivnici. Niekto aktivoval časostroj a z jeho útrob vylieza nič netušiaci Riley, ktorý prosí o pomoc. Garrick však nezaháľa, musí zistiť, ako časostroj funguje a aké tajomstvo a moc skrývajú ostatné dimenzie. A keď sa ho zmocní, konečne sa stane všemocným a jediným pánom času i priestoru na Zemi! Titul je určený pre čitateľov od 12 rokov.

Dvanásťročný Fletcher Moon, vďaka svojmu priezvisku a nízkej postave prezývaný Polmesiac, nie je medzi spolužiakmi veľmi obľúbený. No keďže v internetovom kurze pre detektívov získal odznak a stal sa najmladším kvalifikovaným súkromným detektívom na svete, spolužiaci sa naňho obracajú, keď sa niekomu niečo stratí alebo potrebuje niečo vypátrať. Spolužiačka April si Fletchera najme, aby jej našiel stratený vzácny suvenír. Prípad sa zdá byť jasný - všetky stopy vedú k bratom Sharkeyovcom, Herodesovi a Ryšovi, s pochybnou povesťou. Pri pátraní však Polmesiac zistí, že v meste sa dlhší čas dejú zvláštne veci. Čím hlbšie Fletcher preniká do súvislostí prípadu, tým väčšmi sa doň zapletá a stáva sa z neho prenasledovaný…

"Squib Moreau may be swamp-wild, but his intentions are (generally) good: he really wants to be a supportive son to his hard-working momma Elodie. But sometimes life gets in the way - like when Fake Daddy walked out on them leaving a ton of debt, or when crooked Constable Regence Hooke got to thinking pretty Elodie Moreau was just the gal for him... An apprenticeship with the local moonshine runner, servicing the bayou, looks like the only way to pay off the family debts and maybe get Squib and his momma a place in town, far from Constable Hooke's unwanted courtship and Fake Daddy's reputation. Unfortunately for Squib, Hooke has his own eye on that very same stretch of bayou - and neither of them have taken into account the fire-breathing dragon hiding out in the Louisiana swamp... For Squib Moreau, Regence Hooke and Vern, aka Lord Highfire of Highfire Eyrie, life is never going to be the same again..."--Publisher description.
