Cain
Written in the last years of Saramago's life, Cain is a controversial and witty story of a wilful, authoritarian God.
After killing his brother, Cain is condemned to wander the earth. As he moves through time, he encounters moments from the Old Testament - acts of faith, violence and divine judgement that he cannot accept without question. Cain is José Saramago's bold, darkly playful reimagining of a biblical outcast.

Dědictví zmaru a krve
Camilla Marchesová, dědička jedné z nejvýznamnějších rodin v Lynchavenu, se ze všech sil snaží zabránit krachu rodinného podniku. Když se tedy objeví zlotřilý a proklatě okouzlující Nicolai z nepřátelského rodu Attanových a nabídne splatit rodinný dluh výměnou za její ruku, Camilla nemá na výběr. Musí si ho vzít.
Věřit Attanovi nikdy není dobrý nápad, ale Nico tvrdí, že jeho motivace jsou čistě obchodní – pokud mu Camilla pomůže dopadnout sériového vraha řádícího v ulicích jeho části města, on jí na oplátku navrátí svobodu.
V sázce je však mnoho. V městském podsvětí, kde magie a věda svádí boj na život a na smrt, jsou tajemství tím nejcennějším platidlem – a rodina Marchesových jich, jak se zdá, střeží hned několik. Dokáže Camilla odhalit pravdu a uniknout osudu dřív, než nejnebezpečnější muž ve městě ukradne její srdce?

The Beginning and End of Everything: with a foreword by Davina McCall
‘An inspiring must-read for anyone who is searching for hope in darkness of loss, grief or addiction’ Gillian AndersonSarah Hiscox’s deep self-esteem and addiction issues began in childhood when she was given powerful sleeping pills for her nightmares. Then, as a young woman, a toxic relationship with food morphed into a full-blown heroin dependency that neither a loving marriage nor a new baby could halt. After years of cycling through relapse and new starts, Sarah’s relationships were wrecked. In rehab she was confronted with herself and all that she’d lost. But it would take repeated attempts for her to understand even her worst day of abstinence was better than the days she relapsed. Just a few threads of hope remained – a desire to see her children grow, a friend called Davina, a sister and an ex-husband who, despite it all, still loved her. A compelling, wonderfully uplifting true story of the redemptive power of self-acceptance, friendship and love.

Above all, she is drawn to her new friend's work; raw, unfiltered self-portraits of startling intimacy, which Rabble captures in her uncompromising photographs. But as Rabble's longing tips into obsession, her pursuit of the artist - her fame, her wealth, her life - threatens to consume her...

Herbs have been used for centuries to cure all manner of ailments. In the Middle Ages, before the advent of affordable healthcare, monastery gardens were used to cultivate plants to treat both the monks’ own house and the surrounding secular community.

This beautiful book features 100 plants showing how herbs, as well as flowers, fruit and vegetables, have been used medicinally. Drawn from the writings of a range of herbalists, particularly John Gerard and Nicholas Culpeper, the text is accompanied by exquisite illustrations from the renowned Herball by Gerard, first published in 1597. Together with recipes from household books, these selections give a fascinating history of nature’s role in both formal and folk medicine.
