Krátky popis
Collector's slipcased edition of the first ever standalone presentation of one of J.R.R. Tolkien's most important poetic dramas, that explores timely themes such as the nature of heroism and chivalry during war, and which features unpublished and never-before-seen texts and drafts. In 991 AD, vikings attacked an Anglo-Saxon defence-force led by their duke, Beorhtnoth, resulting in brutal fighting along the river Blackwater, near Maldon in Essex.The attack is widely considered one of the defining conflicts of tenth-century England, and is immortalised in the poem, The Battle of Maldon. Written shortly after the battle, the poem survives only as a 325-line fragment, but its value to today is incalculable. J.R.R.Tolkien considered The Battle of Maldon 'the last surviving fragment of ancient English heroic minstrelsy'. It would inspire him to compose, during the 1930s, his own dramatic verse-dialogue, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son, which imagines the aftermath of the great battle when two of Beorhtnoth's retainers come to retrieve their duke's body. Leading Tolkien scholar, Peter Grybauskas, presents for the first time Tolkien's own prose translation of The Battle of Maldon together with the definitive treatment of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth and its accompanying essays, also included and never before published is the lecture, 'The Tradition of Versification in Old English'.Illuminated with insightful notes and commentary, he offers a definitive critical edition of these works, and argues compellingly that, Beowulf excepted, The Battle of Maldon may well have been 'the Old English poem that most influenced Tolkien's fiction', most dramatically within the pages of The Lord of the Rings. This slipcased edition includes a colour frontispiece reproducing a page of Tolkien's original manuscript of The Homecoming, and is printed on acid-free paper with a ribbon marker. It is quarterbound with a unique illustration by Bill Sanderson gold-foiled on grey boards and is housed in a custom-built slipcase.It also includes a digitally remastered recording of The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth read by J.R.R. Tolkien &,amp, Christopher Tolkien, which is available on CD for the first time.

Manželka mi nevadí
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti. Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách, mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát: Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje, môžeme sami.
