Fred sleduje z okénka malého letadla tajuplnou džungli pod sebou. Vždycky snil o tom, že bude dobrodruhem a objevitelem neznámých zemí. Kéž by mohli přistát a probádat to tam. Netuší, že už za pár chvil se jeho přání splní. Letadlo se zřítí a on se s dalšími třemi dětmi ocitne uprostřed rozlehlé amazonské džungle, plné nebezpečí. Začíná pro ně dobrodružství, o jakém se jim ani nesnilo. Aby přežili, musejí se naučit spolupracovat, obstarat si potravu a postavit si vor, na kterém po řece doplují do civilizace. Netuší, že objeví trosky dávno ztraceného města. A že v něm nebudou sami… „ „Odteď se Rundellová bezpochyby ocitla v první spisovatelské lize.“Philip Pullman „Čtenáři jsou doslova vrženi doprostřed úžasného vzrušujícího dobrodružství… Ocitnou se v okouzlujícím světě, kde můžou plavat s amazonskými delfínovci, pojídat tarantule a objevovat tajemství zničeného města… Rundellová je jednou z nejtalentovanější spisovatelek dětských knih.“ (Obserever, dětská kniha týdne) „Vyprávění je svěží, třebaže se nese v duchu tradice klasických dobrodružných příběhů… Rundellová je skvělou nástupkyní Evy Ibbosonové. Příběh nepostrádá humor a moudrost, postavy jsou věrohodné a zápletka napínavá.“ (Sunday Times, dětská kniha roku) „Parádní… Něco mezi Indianou Jonesem a animovaným filmem Vzhůru do oblak. Jedna z nejúchvatnějších knih roku.“ (Spectator) „Katherine Rundellová je stále lepší a lepší. Zbožňuji Dobrodruha. Na jednu stranu je to velmi strhující dobrodružství o čtveřici dětí bojujících v Amazonii o holý život – přináší ale také hluboké myšlenky o lidské povaze, lásce a prohrách.“ (spisovatelka Jacqueline Wilsonová) „Její nádherné popisy deštného pralesa by probudily k životu i starobylé mayské sochy, tak jsou živoucí. A zapomeňte na večerku: budete chtít číst stále dál a dál, dokud vás nepřekvapí svítání.“ (The Times) br> „Čiré dobrodružství. Dobrodruha těžko něco překoná.“ (Daily Telegraph)Vítěz Costa Children’s Book Award 2017Vítěz Children's Book PrizeVítěz London Book Fair Children’s Travel Book of the YearNominováno na CILIP Carnegie Medal

Když žijete v labyrintu a společnost vám dělají němé sochy, začnete časem pochybovat o vlastní příčetnosti... Podivný Dům se stovkami síní, jehož základy omývají mořské vlny a pod jehož střechou plují mraky, představoval pro muže přezdívaného Piranesi celý svět, obývaný pouze mrtvými a Tím druhým. S příchodem nečekaných návštěvníků se ovšem jednoho dne objeví množství palčivých otázek, týkajících se mimo jiné protagonistovy skutečné identity, pravé povahy jeho vztahu k Tomu druhému a v neposlední řadě možné existence dalších světů za hranicemi Domu. Piranesi tak začne skládat dohromady jednotlivé dostupné střípky informací, z nichž mnohé jsou ukryté v jeho vlastních denících – on si ovšem nepamatuje, že si je poznamenal! Nalézt kýžené odpovědi se však ukazuje být stejně těžké jako odejít z tohoto labyrintu... Originální fantastický příběh od autorky bestselleru Jonathan Strange a pan Norell doprovází hudba Vladivojny La Chii.

The showdown should have been a brief affair, where the German Empire put its neighbours in their place. Encouraged by the spirit of adventure thousands of young men volunteered to defend the nation’s honour. On the other hand, in France, Britain and Russia optimism was just as high: the troops would be home by Christmas. But the reality was quite different. Soon the lines were locked in a deadly mud hell in the heart of Europe, and despite new weapons like poison gas, submarines, tanks and aircraft the war was protracted. The first signs of events turning came when the US entered the war in 1917.The arrival of fresh American forces turned the war in the Allies’ favour. The Germans were beaten, and with the defeat came more misery: civilians were starving, and revolution brewed under the surface. "Death in the Trenches" follows World War I, which divided a continent and cost millions of young men their lives.

The Death of Ivan Ilyich, first published in 1886, is a novella by Leo Tolstoy, one of the masterpieces of his late fiction, written shortly after his religious conversion of the late 1870s. The novel tells the story of the death, at age 45, of a high court judge in 19th century Russia. Living what seems to be a good life, his dreadful relationship with his wife notwithstanding, Ivan Ilyich Golovin bangs his side while putting up curtains in a new apartment intended to reflect his family's superior status in society. Within weeks, he has developed a strange taste in his mouth and a pain that will not go away. Several expensive doctors are consulted, but beyond muttering about blind gut and floating kidneys, they can neither explain nor treat his condition, and it soon becomes clear that Ivan Ilyich is dying...

"Bring oxygen – Challenger." The gang from `The Lost World‘ is back together, but the reunion is much more dramatic than they had hoped. As Professor Challenger has predicted, the Earth is moving into a belt of poisonous ether and their only chance of survival is joining him in his house and watch the whole shebang go down together. Though very different from the first in the series, `The Poison Belt` (1913) is equally interesting and can be enjoyed in its own right. Like in his Sherlock Holmes series Conan Doyle displays, in the Challenger books, a knack for writing memorable characters and situations; his description of people going crazy from the ether will have you in hysterics.
