Pasekův kratochvilný astrologický kalendář - Čížek S astrologii, velikým tabu posledních desetiletí, se nyní setkáváte stále častěji. Astrologie je jeden ze způsobů poznání člověka a jeho zdokonalení. V okamžiku vrcholící životní krize můžete vytočit linku důvěry, jít se vyzpovídat, navštívit veřejný dům, ožrat se, poradit se s advokátem – specialistou na rozvody, a také vyhledat kartářku nebo astrologa. Proti gustu, žádný dišputát, říkával pan mlynář toče pikslou mezi prsty a šklíbě se. Astrologie se při vší své ctižádostivosti nepovažuje za jediné správné poznání – na rozdíl od nebožtíka marxismu-leninismu

John Carter discovers that a First Born knows the secret of the Temple of the Sun and he and the Holy Hekkador Matai Shang want to rescue the Holy Thern's daughter, who is imprisoned with Dejah Thoris and another Barsoomian princess, Thuvia of Ptarth. John Carter follows them in the hope to liberate his beloved wife. His antagonists flee to the north, taking the three women along. Thereafter John Carter follows them untiring into the north polar regions where he discovers more fantastic creatures and ancient, mysterious Martian races. These he overcomes in battle, and is later proclaimed "Warlord of Barsoom" by his allies. This book is the last to feature Tars Tarkas, John Carter's ally, in any major role; indeed, the green Barsoomians of whom Tars Tarkas is an oligarch disappear altogether from most of the later novels.

After the long exile on Earth, John Carter finally returned to his beloved Mars. But beautiful Dejah Thoris, the woman he loved, had vanished. Now he was trapped in the legendary Eden of Mars -- an Eden from which none ever escaped alive.

Po dlouhém a nedobrovolném pobytu na Zemi se John Carter konečně vrací na svůj milovaný Mars. Probouzí se však ve zcela neznámé krajině, kde není ani stopy po jeho ženě, krásné Dejah Thoris. Brzy zjišťuje, že se ocitl v legendárním barsoomském ráji – ráji, z něhož dosud nikdo nevyvázlživý…

Edgar Rice Burroughs was born in 1875 in Chicago, Illinois. Although Burroughs wrote in many genres he is best known for creating the jungle hero Tarzan. Burroughs began writing for pulp fiction magazines and in 1912 he published Tarzan of the Apes. Thuvia is the fourth book in the Martian adventure series. Carthoris is in love with the princess Thuvia. Astok the Prince of Dusar steals her and Carthoris attempts to follow her across Barsoom. On his journey he encounters many strange and fascinating otherworldly creatures.

When Civil War veteran Captain John Carter is incredibly transported from Earth to a strange landscape on Mars, he finds that the weak gravity exponentially increases his speed and strength. Taken prisoner by Martian warriors, Carter impresses them with his remarkable fighting skills, and is quickly made a high-ranking chieftain. Before long, the captain finds himself embroiled in the deadly warfare and dark intrigues that have been polarizing the Martian races. The heroic Carter also finds dangerous romance with the divine princess Dejah Thoris, who wins Carter's love the first moment his eyes meet hers.

Set in the imaginative world of Barsoom, the story follows Tara, the adventurous Princess of Helium, and Gahan of Gathol, who is determined to win her heart. Their journey takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves on live chessboards in Manator, where the stakes are life and death. As Gahan battles to defeat the malevolent ruler threatening Gathol, themes of love, bravery, and strategy intertwine. This fifth installment showcases Burroughs' creativity and intricate world-building like never before.
