A fully updated and revised edition of a classic bestseller: the
definitive guide to Tutankhamun and his tomb - what it contained,
why, and what it means today. On 4 November 1922, Lord Carnarvon
and Howard Carter's long search in Egypt's Valley of the Kings drew
to a triumphant close: Tutankhamun's tomb had been found. As news
of the discovery spread, and as images of the breathtaking
treasures began to circulate, this once-obscure pharaoh would
capture the imagination of the entire world.A hundred years on, and
both the fascination and the drama continue. Scientific research
has pushed forward, and the results have been impressive: the
tomb's ground-plan and setting are now fully remapped, CT-scanning
and aDNA have begun to shed their unique light on Tutankhamun in
life and in death, super-accurate recordings have been secured of
the Burial Chamber's decorated walls, and we possess at last
high-quality photography of Pharaoh's possessions. Our access to
Carnarvon and Carter's extraordinary find is greater today than it
has ever been, and from this fuller evidence comes one new
realization among many - that both the tomb and its treasures had
been intended for someone else.In this new edition of his landmark
book Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves revisits Tutankhamun in the
context of his time, the excavators in the context of theirs, and
every aspect, old and new, of the tomb's discovery, archaeology,
architecture and art. If what was discovered in 1922 had the
ability to amaze, then what has been discovered since will simply
astonish.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
