Garth Williams

    Garth Williams se navždy zapíše do paměti jako ilustrátor, který dal podobu nejrůznějším dětským postavám. Jeho umělecká ruka oživila nezapomenutelného myšáka Stuarta Littlea, laskavou pavoučici Charlottu, jejího kamaráda Viléma a mnoho dalších zvířat, pohádkových bytostí i dětí. Williams se kromě ilustrací věnoval i psaní vlastních knih pro děti, ale právě jeho jedinečný výtvarný styl a schopnost vtisknout postavám osobitost ho proslavily nejvíce. Jeho dílo rovněž poukázalo na důležitost umění v diskuzi o společenských otázkách.

Laura Ingalls's story begins in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of Wisconsin. Four-year-old Laura lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack. Pioneer life is sometimes hard, since the family must grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her folks celebrate Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting, bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to sleep. And so begins Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier past and a heartwarming, unforgettable story.

      Focusing on the U.S. military's development of special aircraft types during World War II, including many experimental aircraft and one-off secret projects, this book shows how U.S. aviation designs and weapons progressed under the pressure of global warfare. From the state-of-the-art aircraft at the beginning of the war, to the advances during the conflict, each special type is covered in detail: armed photo reconnaissance, catapult launched seaplanes, naval floatplanes, autogyros, and special-operations armed drones. Often described as less glamorous than fighters and bombers, these special types of WWII combat aircraft offer a unique contribution to military aviation and aeronautical advancement.
