The Three Crowns : The Story of William and Mary (9780307346247)



When an empire is at stake, one woman stands between the past and the future In post-Restoration England, King Charles II has fathered numerous bastards, but not a single legitimate heir. Because of this, his brother, James, Duke of York, is heir-presumptive to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland--the three crowns of Britain. But James's devout Catholicism, and desire to return Britain to the rule of Rome, does not sit well with his subjects and his time as king is sure to be short.
Raised under the Protestant guardianship of her uncle King Charles, James's daughter Mary finds herself at fifteen facing a marriage to the Dutch and Protestant William of Orange, long prophesied to be destined for the throne. But can she follow her calling to rule Britain without losing the love of her father? Captivating in its historical detail, lush and sweeping in its scope, and unforgettable in its dramatic depiction of relationships between monarchs and families, The Three Crowns is the singular story of the only joint sovereigns in British history.

John Martin of Lower Howard's Creek, Clark County, Kentucky (9781329138582)

Gambar
John Martin was a pioneer of Clark County, Kentucky, where he lived on Lower Howard's Creek. John had been a blacksmith in Goochland County, Virginia, where he married Rachel Pace. He owned a small farm there before moving to Ballenger Creek in what is now Fluvanna County. John and Rachel were the parents of thirteen children. In the late 1780s, the parents and children moved to Kentucky. John settled on a hillside farm in an area then known as the Bush Settlement.

Antologie 12 povídek sestavená k 20. výročí založení projektu Lilja's Library, největší internetové stránky věnované zpravodajství o životě a díle Stephena Kinga. Švédský publicista Hans-Ake Lilja zde po několika desítkách let od prvního vydání uvádí raritní Kingovu povídku Modrý kompresor, která se neobjevila v žádné sbírce tohoto slavného autora, a k ní přidává pestrou směsici vesměs temně laděných povídek od autorů, jako jsou Clive Barker, Ramsey Campbell, Stewart O'Nan nebo Jack Ketchum (zde ve spolupráci s P. D. Cacekovou). Výbor je korunován zbrusu novou novelou Johna Ajvida Lindqvista. Vyjma klasického mrazivého příběhu Zrádné srdce z pera E. A. Poea mají všechny povídky v této knize českou premiéru.
