PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS 6: The Chalice of the Gods
The original hero. A brand-new adventure. Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times - battling monsters, Titans, even giants - but these days the modern-day son of Poseidon is hoping for a regular final year at school. Too bad the Greek gods have other plans, and three new quests for Percy to complete. First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do not take kindly to newbies. Can Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover find the chalice before it falls into the wrong hands? And even if they do, will they be able to resist its awesome power. . .? Readers new to the Percy Jackson universe and long-time fans will love this epic adventure - full of legendary heroes, mythical creatures, ancient Greek gods and enduring friendship - from the global bestseller Rick Riordan.

ZA ČITANJE U SUMRAK
Duhovi viktorijanskog doba plašili su i starije i mlađe slušatelje ili čitatelje. Zamislite da sjedite s prijateljima ili obitelji, okupljeni oko vatre u dnevnom boravku osvijetljenom samo svijećama, u devetnaestostoljetnoj Engleskoj, i netko započne pripovijedati o duhovima – te večeri biste možda teško zaspali, ali ipak biste osjetili neki užitak slušajući predaje za koje više ni sami niste sigurni jesu li istinite ili posve izmišljene. Charles Dickens vrlo je dobro poznavao taj običaj onodobnog engleskog društva, veliko zanimanje za sve što je naizgled racionalno neobjašnjivo.

THE SILMARILLION
The Silmarillion is an account of the Elder Days, of the First Age of Tolkien's World. It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them, such as Elrond and Galadriel, took part. The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-Earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. This special 'collectors hardback' edition of the work includes a unique cover design that illustrates Telperion and Laurelin, the Two Trees of Valinor, and the three Silmarils.
