Teď se potýká s nekonečnou záplavou úkolů: výstavbou pevnosti, dohadováním s dodavateli, hlídáním dračích vajec, jednáním s bojovnými urgaly a povýšenými elfy.

S příchodem jara se Krtek chce věnovat jarnímu úklidu, ale už po chvíli ho smýčení nebaví a vyrazí do světa za dobrodružstvím. Potká Vodní Krysu a spolu zažijí nejednu veselou historku, které vyplňují hlavní dějovou linku knihy o polepšení namyšleného, hloupého a egocentrického Žabáka. Ten porušuje jak morálku, tak zákon a nemá nikde stání. Z nudy vymýšlí každou chvíli nějaká rozptýlení, která ho ale stejně brzo přestávají bavit. Naši hrdinové (i s pomocí rozvážného a moudrého pana Jezevce) ale ví, co je správné a Žabákovi pomohou nejen znovu získat ztracené panství, které mu ukradly lstivé lasičky s tchoři, ale také zjistit, co je v životě důležité.Kniha se stala natolik populární, že inspirovala mnohé spisovatele a hudebníky k jejich dílům. Například autora Medvíka Pú A. A. Milneho nebo irského písničkáře Van Morrisona či Pink Floyd.Interpret: Horák ZbyšekDélka nahrávky: 6 hod. 55 min.

Vždycky jsem věděla, že ženy v naší rodině by neměly být matky.Den narození mé dcery Violet měl být tím nejhezčím dnem mého života. Když jsem ji ale poprvé držela v náručí, věděla jsem, že je něco špatně.Podle mého manžela si jen něco namlouvám, prý nejsem taková jako moje matka. Mé dítě je přece tím nejsladším dítětem na světě.Se mnou se ale Violet chová jinak. Něco se pokazilo, přísahám.Je to v ní? Ve mně? Je ona ta zlá? Nebo jsem to já?Druhá tvář je znepokojivé, dech beroucí a silné čtení o posedlosti a nejhlubších obavách matky, jež by měla své dítě milovat…Interpret: Jana StrykováRežie: Jan DrbohlavDélka nahrávky: 8 h 49 min.1 MP3 CD

Věčný aspekt ženství.Posvátná prostitutka v sobě snoubí duchovní vlastnosti bohyně i hluboké prožívaní fyzické lásky. Cesta k ní je cestou k hlubšímu naplnění ve vztazíchPosvátná prostitutka ztělesňuje jak sexuální, tak duchovní stránku ženy. Je symbolem fyzické rozkoše a duchovní extáze, zároveň však zůstává panenská. Její panenství nemá nic společného s fyzickým stavem – je vyjádřením jejího vnitřního postoje. Nespokojuje se s rolí pouhého odrazu muže, ať už jde o otce, bratra, milence, manžela nebo syna. Je vnitřně sjednocená sama se sebou, dělá to, co dělá, nikoli z touhy, aby se líbila, získala nad druhými moc nebo si vydobyla lásku. Dělá to proto, že je to pravdivé.Posvátná prostitutka je archetypem lidské ženy, která v sobě snoubí spirituální vlastnosti bohyně i hluboké prožívaní fyzické lásky. Cesta k ní pomáhá rozpoznat a respektovat božské vlastnosti projevující se v každém člověku a zároveň přináší naplnění, které ve vztazích mezi mužem a ženou stále tak zoufale chybí.

"My First Summer in the Sierra" (1911) takes inspiration from Muir’s journals of the months he spent between June and September 1869 as a shepherd in the Sierras. Muir went on to built a cabin along Yosemite Creek, where he lived for two years. He designed it in such a way that a portion of the stream flowed through it, as he wanted to enjoy its music. From French Bar to Mono Lake and the Yosemite Valley, he was awestruck by everything he saw. The antics of the smallest "insect people" amazed him as much as stunted thousand-year old Juniper trees growing with inconceivable tenacity from tiny cracks in the stone. In this novel, he tells of the nature in the Sierra, and of his ascension of Mt. Hoffman and other local peaks.

But Speer isn’t saving prisoners’ lives: men, women and children are worked to death producing weapons for the German army. Churchill was a true hero, and Speer, a nasty villain – or were they? Churchill had racist views, while Speer defied Hitler at risk to his own life and saved Germany’s infrastructure. This issue gets up close to World War II’s greatest personalities.

Upozorňují na zoufalou neschopnost současných mladíků dospět a odolat nástrahám virtuální reality. Alarmující apel vzbudil celosvětový zájem odborníků i veřejnosti.Zdá se, že současní mladí muži jsou v ohrožení, selhávají jako nikdy dříve. Proč? A co se s tím dá dělat?

Mladým mužům dnes máloco stojí za námahu.Autoři upozorňují, že samotu, do které jsou dospívající vehnáni v důsledku nefunkčních rodin, naplňují nepřiměřeným a osamoceným hraním počítačových her. Trpí tak jejich zdraví i schopnost najít zaměstnání a partnera.Obzvlášť zranitelní jsou dospívající chlapci, kteří se často izolují, vyhledávají fiktivní digitální světy a stávají se od raných let konzumenty pornografie. Tyto aktivity jsou pro mladé muže atraktivnější než sport, sex a sociální interakce v reálném světě.

Občas aj mafiu, ale tá aspoň hrá podľa pravidiel. Väčšinou neuspejú, no vedia, že sú vo vojne, ktorá sa nedá vyhrať, len bojovať. Vždy to brali profesionálne. Až doteraz. S Nikou sa to stalo osobným.Nika. Sedemnásťročná stopárka, ktorú uniesli, znásilnili a plánovali predať do Kosova. Na prostitúciu alebo na orgány, čokoľvek si zákazník praje.

Možno niekomu inému. Na inom mieste. Ale sú pravdivé, hoci Igor by ich určite nechcel opakovať pod prísahou. Lebo vedieť nie je to isté, ako vedieť dokázať.

When Lemuel Gulliver wakes up on an island after a shipwreck, tied on his hands and feet and with arrows pointed at him, you would think all hope is lost.But his captors are the size of a finger, their rope is as thin as thread, and their tiny arrows barely break the surface of his skin. This is not even as absurd as it gets on Gulliver‘s travels at sea, but, hilariously, he has no emotional response to any of it. Jonathan Swift‘s `Gulliver‘s Travels‘ (1726) is political satire at its best. Published shortly after Daniel Defoe‘s `Robinson Crusoe‘, it offers a very different view on humankind than Defoe‘s optimistic account, poking fun and in doing so opening the door for wider discussions.

Told from the perspective of a horse, Black Beauty (1877) dives into the topic of animal rights like no other novel. Black Beauty is raised by a caring mother on an idyllic farm, not knowing that he will never be as free again. Tossed from owner to owner, he encounters mistreatment in many forms, but luckily, his journey is not without love either. Being herself an invalid, author Anna Sewell (1820-1878) seemed particularly aware of the importance of kindness toward all living creatures. She wrote Black Beauty – her only novel – in the final years of her life, and lived just long enough to see its positive reception. In the years after her death, Black Beauty would become the foundation for change in horse welfare in both England and the US.

Oscar Wilde supposedly said that these fables were "intended neither for the British child nor the British public". A follow-up to his first popular fairy-tale collection (`The Happy Prince and Other Tales‘), `A House of Pomegranates‘ (1891) is indeed decidedly darker and more adult. The collection includes "The Young King", "The Birthday of the Infanta, "The Fisherman of his Soul", and "The Star Child". While similar, in some ways, to the fairy-tales of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm these have a certain interesting Wilde flair to them that is hard to pinpoint.
