Uprostřed konce
Libor Prudký je znám jako sociolog. Teprve v pozdním věku se začal věnovat poesii, sbírka Uprostřed konce, v pořadí třetí, je dílo vyzrálé a neobvyklé. Konečnost života, účtování, vnímání Boží přítomnosti a blízkosti smrti jsou témata, která nejenže nerezonují v soudobé české poesii ale byla vytlačena i z běžného života.
The Little Book of Loss Rituals
The perfect companion in times of grief and sorrow.
In life, loss is inevitable, and though grief is a normal response to loss, most of us were never taught what to do with our grief - or how to support others with theirs. This is especially true when we experience non-death losses like a miscarriage or a divorce, where there are no societal norms for processing the profound grief we feel. Rituals can step into this gap, honoring our need to release, remember, recognize, and reconnect to heal our grief.Whether seeking to ease the ache of a personal heartbreak or extend support to a grieving friend, The Little Book of Loss Rituals invites readers to explore rituals like never before; by remembering our loss, releasing pain, reconnecting with others, and recognizing rituals as our ancestors did for millennia?as a powerful tool for healing. This book offers over 75 gentle, practical actions to help honor what was, hold what hurts, and slowly rediscover life.Inside, you'll discover how to:Name the many kinds of loss?death, breakups, illness, moves, identity shifts, disappointments?and permit yourself to grieve them all.
Incorporate accessible, meaningful grief rituals in your life, whether you have five minutes alone or want to include friends and family.
Create heartfelt rituals that fit your beliefs, culture, and comfort level, ideally suited to honor your griefy needs.
Build ongoing practices that help you stay present to your pain and your aliveness, healthfully integrating grief as a part of you, not something that defines you.Presented through an affirming mix of traditional global grieving practices and poignant personal narratives, The Little Book of Loss Rituals draws on science, history, and ancient wisdom to offer a tender, comforting companion for any kind of loss.

Váha ticha
V knize Váha ticha představuje Stanislav Struhar intimní a současně dramatický román, který je nejen zamyšlením nad vztahy mezi rodiči a dětmi, ale i empatickým pohledem na osudy lidí v dnešní společnosti. Svébytně lyrickým ztvárněním a nadčasovým námětem vytváří jedinečný a mimořádně působivý portrét současného Lisabonu a Toulonu. Tento impozantní Román, jenž upoutal pozornost i za hranicemi Rakouska, je zde předložen českým čtenářům ve výtečném překladu Markéty Klikové, která za překlady jeho děl byla dvakrát oceněna Překladatelskou prémií udílenou rakouským Spolkovým ministerstvem pro bydlení, umění, kulturu, média a sport.
Když Oliver přijíždí do Lisabonu navštívit svou babičku, je už dospělý muž. Ovšem jako by to bylo snad včera, kdy tu v dětství trávil dny. Vzpomíná na svého dědečka, který kdysi v Lisabonu znovu našel štěstí. S dědečkem, kterého vídeňská rodina zavrhla, Olivera spojuje nejen původ, ale také láska k literatuře, a i jemu se město otevírá se všemi svými barvami a jazyky, i on se v Lisabonu cítí jako doma. Jednoho dne potká mladou ženu, které kdysi ublížil, a jeho život nabere nečekaný zvrat.
House of Burning Frost
"A fantastical delight of a book, rich with its imagination and lush with its storytelling." ?RUNYX, New York Times bestselling author of Gothikana, for House of Beating Wings
An epic standalone in the sexy Kingdom of Crows romantasy series from USA Today bestselling author Olivia Wildenstein, featuring a spicy marriage of convenience, a marvelous frozen wonderland setting, and the next generation of shifters.
FAKE AN ENGAGEMENT TO THE ICE KING TO TRAP AN ENEMY.
END THE SHAM BETROTHAL ONCE THE FOE IS CAUGHT.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?
If I were mortal, the epitaph on my tombstone would read: 'Here lies Isla Ríhbiadh, cherished daughter of Fallon and Lorcan, crown princess of Luce, and blunderer like no other.' Luckily, I'm an immortal shifter sorceress, so my countless slip-ups haven't resulted in my untimely demise. Yet.
When my latest blunder lands me in the steam chamber of a very naked and very irritable Faerie king, I worry the pointy-eared Glacin will dispose of my body under six feet of solid ice. Instead, he suggests we get married.
Our betrothal is purely strategic, meant only to trap King Konstantin's shifter-hating enemies. He's uninterested in finding love, and I'm uninterested in falling for a man who isn't my mate. A fool-proof alliance.
Obviously, I'm a fool for thinking this, since nothing I ever do goes right.
What starts as a friendly ruse soon turns into a perilous game. One that blurs the line between scheming and desire. Between childhood fantasies and adult realities.
Between the Ice King and me.

Vengeful Destruction
All Quincy Anderson wants is to enjoy a life of quiet, academic solitude hidden away from the world and all the people she’s never been able to understand. But it isn't long before the dark sins of her past?and her complicated family legacy?find her. And no matter how determined she is to keep to herself and not ruffle any feathers, her fellow professors at Avernia College want her gone.
Unfortunately for them, she has one very specific reason to stay: Eden Ivers, the only woman to ever capture, and promptly break, her heart.
Once upon a time, it was Eden who began unraveling the mysterious deaths and blood-soaked societies linked to the elusive school, putting herself (and Quincy) at the center of a dangerous game. It was Eden who became a chaotic source of destruction in Quincy's life: a car wreck she never could look away from. All through her undergraduate years, Quincy was caught in her orbit, putting out the fires that blazed in her destructive path...until one day, without warning, Eden walked out of Quincy's life. Now years later, the two women are thrust back into one another’s lives. But neither is the same as she was a decade ago…and the blood-soaked legacy Eden once so carelessly challenged still lays in wait, ready to claim them both.

Bedside Manner
A medical resident spars with the hot, grumpy surgeon who makes her job hell, until their relationship heats up with a sexy arrangement--from the viral TikTok author of the Vancouver Storm series.
Dr. Linden Starling can get along with anyone?except Dr. Grant Cross, one of the most prominent pediatric plastic surgeons in the country. Linden detests him, his other residents are terrified of him, and his bedside manner sucks.
She wants nothing to do with him.
When Linden’s desperate financial straits lead her to sign up as a high-end escort, Dr. Cross is the last person on her mind?until he becomes her first client and makes her an offer she can’t refuse. The deal is simple: she sleeps with him, he pays her, and neither of them get feelings.
Grant Cross, it turns out, is nothing like she expected. The sex is beyond all expectation and surprisingly intimate. With his pediatric fellowship at risk due to his lack of interpersonal skills, Linden vows to teach Grant how to be more likable. Grant is a notorious workaholic, and yet he’s suddenly making time for her, reading the books she loves, and encouraging her to stand up for herself.
Their relationship is purely transactional, but Grant looks at Linden in a way that makes her think…
Maybe it’s real after all.

The Great Global Transformation
Global neoliberalism is on its last legs, while a new international economic order is taking hold. Trade blocs, tariff wars, economic sanctions, and national champions are in; nationalism, anti-immigration movements and the far-right are on the rise. Liberalism is being rejected by the civic realm, as the status quo of the past fifty years crumbles. What remains in its wake?Drawing on original research, leading economist Branko Milanovic reveals the seismic shifts that are shaping our world. He details the facts: how the rising economic power of Asia is creating a new global ‘middle class’ in the greatest reshuffle of incomes since the Industrial Revolution. He explores our fears: why are we becoming increasingly unhappy, when the world is becoming richer and more equal? And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving malcontent to breaking point. In The Great Global Transformation, Milanovic provides an invaluable guide to the new 21st century.
