Les bas-fonds de Ketterdam s'organise en gangs rivaux. L'homme le plus ambitieux et le plus jeune de la pègre est Kaz Brekker. Aussi brillant que mystérieux, aussi charismatique que dangereux, et surtout, connu pour être un voleur hors pair. Prêt à tout pour de l'argent, il accepte la mission du riche marchand Van Eck : délivrer un savant du palais de Glace, réputé imprenable. Ce prisonnier est l'inventeur du jurda parem, une drogue multipliant sans limite les pouvoirs surnaturels de la caste des magiciens : les Grishas. Une drogue, qui, tombée dans les mauvaises mains, risque d'engendrer un chaos irréversible.

Having moved into an abandoned haunted house, the narrator—undaunted by the warnings of the locals—sets before a group of friends the task of driving the ghosts out of the house’s various rooms before reconvening on Twelfth Night. The resulting ghost stories form the basis of a thrilling narrative. Initially commissioned for his periodical All the Year Round, Dickens enlisted some of the period’s most famous writers—including Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins—to collaborate with him on this Victorian supernatural classic.

Autor úspěšné knihy Dobré zprávy pro špatné dny dále rozvádí své úvahy o produchovnělém životě a o tom, že objev vlastní duše znamená pro život člověka zásadní obrat.

Many, if not most, people and institutions remain in 'the first half of life' forever, preoccupied with establishing their identity, climbing, achieving, and performing. If you knew there was a further journey, wouldn't you choose to do the 'first half' quite differently? The further journey involves challenges, mistakes, loss of control, even 'necessary suffering' because that is how we grow. This message of falling down and in fact moving up is the most counterintuitive message in most of the world religions, including and most especially Christianity. We grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right. The Companion Journal helps those who have (and those who have not) read Falling Upward to engage more deeply with the questions the book raises. Using a blend of quotes, questions for individual and group reflection, stories, and suggestions for spiritual practices, it provides a wise guide for deepening the spiritual journey - at any time of life.
