      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.

      Kaz Brekker and his crew have just pulled off a heist so daring even they didn't think they'd survive. But instead of divvying up a fat reward, they're right back to fighting for their lives. Double-crossed and badly weakened, the crew is low on resources, allies, and hope. As powerful forces from around the world descend on Ketterdam to root out the secrets of the dangerous drug known as jurda parem, old rivals, and new enemies emerge to challenge Kaz's cunning and test the team's fragile loyalties. A war will be waged on the city's dark and twisting streets -- a battle for revenge and redemption that will decide the fate of the Grisha world

      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. Ten v této knize sleduje v jednotlivých „stupních duše“, aby opět na základě svých bohatých zkušeností ze života a kněžského působení v New Yorku a v rozhlasové stanici, na základě mnoha setkání a seznámení se s osudy řady lidí ukázal, že život nikdy neztrácí svůj smysl a vždy nabízí víc, než by člověk čekal.

      A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life

      A fresh way of thinking about spirituality that grows throughout life In Falling Upward , Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only ones who understand "up." Most of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite. What looks like falling down can largely be experienced as "falling upward." In fact, it is not a loss but somehow actually a gain, as we have all seen with elders who have come to their fullness. Explains why the second half of life can and should be full of spiritual richness Offers a new view of how spiritual growth happens?loss is gain Richard. Rohr is a regular contributing writer for Sojourners and Tikkun magazines This important book explores the counterintuitive message that we grow spiritually much more by doing wrong than by doing right.
