Puppet Reporting and Monitoring. Create insightful reports for your server infrastructure using Puppet

Michael Duffy

Pura vida. Życie & śmierć Williama Walkera

Patrick Deville

"Pura Vida" opowiada o krótkim, lecz niezwykle intensywnym życiu Williama Walkera. Urodzony w1824 roku w Nashville, Tennessee, w rodzinie o szkockich korzeniach, był nieodrodnym dzieckiem epoki romantyzmu. Studiował medycynę i prawo, zajmował się też pracą dziennikarską, ale wszystko to nie mogło zadowolić tak niespokojnego ducha. Po śmierci narzeczonej postanowił zatem pójść w ślady swojego literackiego idola, lorda Byrona, i zorganizować własną misję wyzwoleńczą. Celem jego wyprawy stały się opanowane przez Hiszpanów kraje Ameryki Środkowej, którym zamierzał narzucić nowych władców białych i angielskojęzycznych. Wkrótce odnosi pierwszy sukces: na odbitych Meksykowi terytoriach tworzy nową Republikę Dolnej Kalifornii i zostaje jej prezydentem. Jego kolejnym celem jest podbój ogarniętej wojną domową Nikaragui. Reżim Walkera popada jednak w konflikt z właścicielem przedsiębiorstwa transportowego Corneliusem Vanderbiltem, któremu udaje się zdobyć poparcie innych państw środkowoamerykańskich i którego wielkim sprzymierzeńcem okazuje się też dżuma dziesiątkująca armię samozwańca. Burzliwe życie Williama Walkera zakończyło się w 1860 roku w Hondurasie, gdzie w wieku zaledwie 36 lat zostanie skazany na śmierć. Śledzenie jego życiorysu jest dla Devillea także pretekstem do refleksji nad fenomenem wyzwolicieli Ameryki Łacińskiej, takich jak Simón Bolívar, Augusto César Sandino, a szczególnie Ernesto Che Guevara - do dziś otaczanych w tym regionie niezwykłą czasem niemal religijną czcią w przeciwieństwie do Walkera, którego nazwisko pozostaje tam symbolem znienawidzonego uzurpatora.

Purpurowa nić

Francine Rivers

"Purpurowa nić" to powieść o miłości i zdradzie, o zwątpieniu i nadziei, o rozstaniu i powrotach... Życie Sierry Madrid miało być sielanką. Wspaniały mąż. Cudowne dzieci. I pomyślne widoki na przyszłość. Ale czasami powracały we wspomnieniach Sierry słowa jej ojca: "Zobaczysz, że przez tego chłopaka będziesz jeszcze płakać!" Wtedy nie chciała w nie wierzyć, teraz zaś Alex, jej mąż, nie pozwalał o nich zapomnieć. Nagle ten doskonale poukładany świat, konstruowany z marzeń i snów, rozsypał się jak domek z kart... "Spotkanie z tą książką to dla mnie wielka odkrywcza przygoda polegająca na poznaniu wewnętrznej dynamiki małżeństwa i wewnętrznego rozwoju zarówno mężczyzny, jak i kobiety. Ten rozwój, ta progresja możliwe są tylko dzięki Chrystusowi. Polaryzacja egoizmów prowadzi do destrukcji. W miarę zbliżania się do Jezusa bohaterowie odkrywają w jakim stopniu sami dla siebie stają się przeszkodą w rozwoju." O. Jan Góra Francine Rivers, jedna z najpopularniejszych powieściopisarek amerykańskich. Autorka licznych bestsellerów, m.in. nagrodzonego wyróżnieniem Golden Medallion Award cyklu Mark of the Lion (Znamię Lwa), na który składają się trzy powieści: (Głos w wietrze, Echo w ciemności, Jak świt poranka), przenoszące czytelnika w świat starożytnego Rzymu. Poza tą trylogią, która zdobyła miliony czytelników w samych Stanach, znakomicie przyjęte przez krytyków zostały także powieści: "Szofar zabrzmiał", "Ostatni zjadacz grzechu" oraz "Dziecko pokuty".
