Arne Slot
Arne Slot has been tasked with a role at the helm of one of the most prestigious clubs in the game: Liverpool FC. Having showcased his ability to compete at the top tier of Dutch football, he brings his tactical acumen and characteristically aggressive, high pressing football from the Eredivisie to the Premier League. Slot delivered remarkable performances at more than one club in the Netherlands and garnered a reputation for consistently exceeding expectations. Under his innovative leadership, AZ Alkmaar finished second in the league – and that only on goal difference – when the season was abandoned in 2020 due to Covid. In 2021, Slot took the reins at Feyenoord and led them to their first league title in six years. In four short years, he cemented his status as one of the most promising managerial talents in Europe. Maarten Meijer’s biography delves into Arne Slot’s roots, from the tiny village of Bergentheim in the Netherlands, to the formidable task of following in the footsteps of Jurgen Klopp, his iconic predecessor at Liverpool FC. With confidence borne from a career of success and a complete faith in the football he wants to play, Slot is ready to make his mark at Anfield and continue the legacy of excellence.

Inherit the Truth
Told in her own words, this is the incredible true story of one young woman's survival of Auschwitz and Belsen because she happened to play the cello. With a new foreword by Philippe Sands. Although my head was shaved and I had a number on my arm, I had not lost my identity totally. I may no longer have had a name, but I was identifiable . I was 'the cellist'. When eighteen-year-old Anita arrived at Auschwitz, she found herself plucked from the Nazi death machine by a twist of fate: she played the cello, and the camp orchestra needed a cellist. Now the last living survivor of the Auschwitz Women's Orchestra, this is her story told in her own words. Like so many German Jewish schoolgirls, Anita had been busy with her studies and ambitions when her everyday life began to turn by degrees into one of unimaginable horror. School was cancelled, her parents were summoned for deportation, and when she and her sister, Renate, attempted to escape to France, they were arrested and imprisoned. Through her sharp-etched memories, alongside family letters, photos, and other historical documents, Inherit the Truth leads us into one of humanity's darkest chapters, where we are forced to confront the fragility of the line between civilisation and barbarity. Marking the eightieth anniversary of her arrival in the UK after her release from Belsen concentration camp, and with a new introduction by Philippe Sands, Anita's account of her and her sister's survival of both Auschwitz and Belsen is a testament to their remarkable courage, resilience, ingenuity and luck.

Notebook
The story behind Notebook starts with a minor crime: the theft of Tom Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. In that rucksack was a journal containing ten months' worth of notes, one of the many Tom has used to record his thoughts and observations over the past twelve years. It wasn't the best he had ever kept – his handwriting was messier than in his previous notebook, his entries more sporadic – but he still grieved for every one of the hundred or so lost pages. This incident made Tom appreciate how much notebook-keeping means to him: the act of putting pen to paper has always led him to write with an unvarnished, spur-of-the-moment honesty that he wouldn’t achieve on-screen. Here, Tom has assembled his favourite stories, fragments, moments and ideas from those notebooks, ranging from memories of his childhood to the revelation that 'There are two types of people in the world. People who fucking love maps, and people who don't.' The result is a book redolent of the real stuff of life, shot through with Cox’s trademark warmth and wit.
Audition
One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilising novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love
Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young – young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.
Taut and hypnotic, Audition is Katie Kitamura at her virtuosic best.
Modlíme sa s Vincentom de Paul
„Štyri storočia po založení Misijnej spoločnosti niet pochýb o tom, že charizma svätého Vincenta de Paul naďalej obohacuje Cirkev prostredníctvom rôznych apoštolátov a dobrých skutkov celej Vincentínskej rodiny. Dúfam, že oslavy 400. výročia založenia zdôraznia význam koncepcie svätého Vincenta o službe Kristovi v chudobných pre obnovu Cirkvi našich čias, v misionárskom učeníctve a v pomoci núdznym a opusteným na mnohých perifériách nášho sveta a na okraji povrchnej kultúry typu „použi a zahoď'."
— pápež František
„Vincent de Paul na vlastnej koži pocítil silný kontrast medzi najbohatšími a najchudobnejšími. Ako kňaz mal totiž možnosť pohybovať sa v aristokratických kruhoch, na vidieku, ale aj na periférii Paríža 17. storočia. Poháňaný Kristovou láskou dokázal zorganizovať stabilné formy pomoci margina-lizovaným ľuďom a založil takzvané „Charités", teda skupiny žien, ktoré venovali svoj čas a majetok tým najbiednejším. Niektoré z týchto dobrovoľ-níčok sa rozhodli úplne zasvätiť Bohu a chudobným, a tak spolu so svätou Luisou de Marillac založil svätý Vincent „Dcéry kresťanskej lásky", prvú ženskú spoločnosť, ktorá žila zasvätenie „vo svete" - medzi ľuďmi, s chorými a núdznymi."
— pápež Benedikt XVI.
„Sv. Vincent bol muž činu. Ja v ňom ale vidím aj muža trpezlivosti, lebo dokázal trpezlivo čakať na svoju príležitosť. Chcel vždy plniť Božiu a nie svoju vôľu. Príklad našiel v Ježišovi Kristovi. Boh práve skrze neho vyjadruje trpezlivosť so svetom. A to si uvedomoval aj sv. Vincent. Preto aj v dnešných časoch nám je veľkým príkladom."
— P. Róbert Bednár, CM
„Svätý Vincent ma najviac oslovil svojou dobrotou voči všetkým ľuďom, s ktorými sa stretol. Nežil len pre seba, ale chcel sa rozdať bratom a sestrám v Kristovi. Je to niečo veľké, keďčlovek myslí na druhých a nie na seba."
— fr. Ján Zemanovič, CM
