Terry Deary Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

Starověký Egypt nás asi nikdy nepřestane fascinovat: tajemní bohové, životodárný Nil, ohromné stavby, záhadné tváře soch faraonů… A samozřejmě také víc než dost strašlivých příběhů i různých ohavností, které jsou jako dělané pro Děsivé dějiny! Seznámíš se s faraonem, který vynalezl opravdu zvláštní repelent, s královnou, jež si musela pořídit vousy, nebo s vládcem Egypta, který prohrál válku, ale doma všem tvrdil, že je vítěz. Zjistíš, co všechno o pyramidách není pravda, budeš bloudit ve faraonově bludišti, a pokud tě z toho něco rozbolí, přečteš si, k čemu používali egyptští lékaři polovinu mrtvé myši. Nesmíme samozřejmě zapomenout na mumie: bez dokonale zachovaného těla by se Egypťané po smrti nedostali na onen svět, a tak potřebovali opravdu dobré balzamovače. Absolvuješ školení v mumifikaci a k tomu jako bonus pár historek o tom, jak ti může mumie zavařit, když budeš rušit její klid. A nebudou chybět ani největší hvězdy starověkého Egypta, Tutanchamon a Kleopatra, spousta zábavných kvízů a množství dalších zajímavých informací.

První svazek aktualizovaného vydání legendární knižní řady Děsivé dějiny se věnuje jednomu z nejtěžších a nejsmutnějších témat: druhé světové válce, která za sebou zanechala mnohem více obětí a utrpení než jakýkoliv jiný konflikt v dějinách lidstva. Můžeme na něčem takovém vůbec najít něco ne snad přímo veselého nebo zábavného, ale alespoň absurdního a potrhlého? Překvapivě ano: poznáte chrabrou domobranu britských staříků a holobrádků, posoudíte ty nejbláznivější nápady na tajné zbraně, dozvíte se, proč můžete při velkém hladu jíst červy, ale ne housenky, nebo si zapamatujete, že je lepší nebrat si do války bílé spodky. Kromě toho se ale seznámíte s mnoha skutečnými příběhy, ze kterých do slova a do písmene mrazí: o statečných špionkách, o strašných osudech vězňů v koncentračních táborech, o vypálených vesnicích a o nejhorším zločinu všech dob, nacistických táborech smrti. Označovat druhou světovou válku jen jako „prachšpatnou" je možná slabé slovo, ale přesně o tomhle Děsivé dějiny jsou: dělat si z něčeho legraci neznamená, že se tímto způsobem nemůžeme opravdu důkladně poučit i o těch kapitolách naší minulosti, které se nikdy nesmějí opakovat.
