Jeden dům. Několik bytů. Mnoho osudů.
Za zavřenými dveřmi se odehrávají příběhy, které by možná nikdy neměly vyjít na světlo. Každý byt skrývá vlastní tajemství, vlastní bolest… a někdy i něco mnohem horšího. Kolik podob může mít zlo, když žije jen pár metrů od vás?
Prostě nový Vojtíšek, co ještě potřebujete vědět víc?
Kemp
Victorien si po nečekané životní události pořídí kemp uprostřed lesa přímo vedle vojenského cvičiště. Majitelky, dvě sestry, jí ho prodají pod podmínkou, že tam budou moct dál bydlet. U světle modrého pultíku se ubytovává zajímavá plejáda hostů: od vojáka s posttraumatickou stresovou poruchou přes narkobaronku až po celebritu, která se snaží uniknout publicitě. Pro jednoho dovolená, pro jiného nepříjemná nutnost. Hosté v kempu jsou odsouzeni sdílet společný prostor, přestože je téměř nic nespojuje. Vždy přece mohou odejít, ne?
Kemp je svéhlavý, znepokojivý román jedné z nejoriginálnějších nizozemských spisovatelek současnosti.

Dobrý dům
V devadesátých letech minulého století, po tzv. sametové revoluci v listopadu 1989, se v mladě kapitalistickém Československu děly v mnoha oborech poměrně divoké praktiky. Podle románu Dobrý dům se nevyhnuly ani organizovanému včelařství, z něhož se skupina vykuků rozhodla vytěžit, co se dá.
Do napínavého děje plného chamtivých intrik, zákulisních machinací a střetu starých struktur s novou dobou se prolínají příběhy několika lásek, zrady a pomsty.
Autorem románu je Jiří V. Černý, Dobrý dům je jeho prvotinou. Prokazuje v ní smysl pro silný příběh, živé dialogy a schopnost vystihnout atmosféru doby, v níž se tunelování mohlo objevit i v tak nečekaném oboru, jakým je včelařství.

Trans Central Station
Trans Central Station reflects on a trans life lived before the language to name it. In this luminous essay, award-winning science fiction and fantasy author and tarotist Rachel Pollack moves between personal memory, history, science fiction and myth to consider how words can both restrict and liberate. From Schrödinger’s cat and science-fiction portals to magic, early trans activism and comics, Trans Central Station breaks the world open to ‘both completely new and unknowably ancient’ possibilities of desire, joy and revelation. Situating trans existence within deep time, Pollack connects modern experience to shamanism and rites of transformation, insisting that trans people have always existed – and have often been understood as sacred figures. In this meditation on freedom – from rigid social structures, from fear and shame, and from history itself – to be trans is proof of ancient and ongoing cosmic power.

The Spoil
In a rambling split-level house on the outskirts of Tacoma in the 1970s, a young girl is preoccupied by the anomalous phenomena she reads about in magazines: alien visitations, ESP, pyramid power, the Bermuda Triangle. Meanwhile, she and her stepbrother, thrown uneasily together by disaster and divorce, grow increasingly convinced that a malevolent presence lives in their house, and they develop elaborate strategies to avoid it. Years later, Mandy is living in Las Vegas in a modern townhouse caring for her mother who is in a terminal decline from Alzheimer’s. She works for a real estate company but struggles to focus on her tasks. She takes medication to manage her ADHD, which has her zagging between distraction and obsession, always halfway through some home renovation project. Then, while digging through a box of her mother’s things hoarded in her garage, she sets something loose. Something old and baleful: a demon that soon possesses one of her neighbours, a handyman named TK, further destabilizing Mandy’s fractured powers of concentration. What follows is a gripping and often terrifying story of familial grief in which the past is both elusive and paralyzing, and questions of science and spirit become urgent. The Spoil, Maile Chapman’s first novel in fifteen years, is tuned in to the most unusual frequencies, bringing us messages from beyond about the deepest mysteries of grief and longing.
Spellbound
When Phil Hanley was in year one at school, he realised something that would forever set him apart from his peers: he couldn’t read. His teachers were ill-equipped to assist him, and he slipped through the school’s cracks, year by year falling further and further behind his friends. Finally, he was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning disability that would shape the rest of his life. Unable to pursue college or a traditional job, Phil was thrust into a life defined by unconventional twists, including a stint as a runway model in Europe. Eventually, he found himself on a stage with a microphone, a spotlight, and five minutes of jokes. Unlike so many previous pursuits, stand-up felt right to Phil, and he soon discovered that the more he worked at it, the more he got out of it - a realisation that, he compellingly argues, saved his life. Spellbound is a story of humour and also of struggle and heartbreak, of constantly living in a world that sees things differently than you do, and of triumph over adversity. Phil shows us that dyslexia can be a huge challenge, but it doesn’t spell certain condemnation (and neither can he). Just the opposite: dyslexia has been more than a blessing in his life - it’s been his North Star.

The Practice of Attention
It’s no secret that our attention is fractured. We look for distraction anytime we have a spare moment or feel bored or uncomfortable. We yearn to be fully immersed in the moment - whether for deep work or pleasure - but we have almost forgotten how. The Practice of Attention opens the door to reclaim our focus, so we can be more present with those we love, be more immersed in our work and play, and ultimately live more fully. Beloved artist and teacher Cody Cook-Parrott invites us to join them in building practices that heighten our attention. Beginning with an exploration of what we’re avoiding when we distract ourselves, Cody offers an Attention Audit that helps us understand where we place our focus (and where we lose it) throughout the day and week. After getting a clear understanding of where we are, we can create a schedule and a life with more focus. Being present requires practice, and Cody encourages us to find the practices that resonate most with us, exploring movement, creativity, spiritual practice, being of service, and more. Themes of cultivating curiosity and devotion and letting go of perfectionism and people-pleasing are woven throughout. Shifting our attention has profound power on how we experience ourselves and those around us. Cody writes, “This is my wish: that you feel less pull toward your screen and more pull toward your life.”
Daughter of Egypt
In the 1920s, archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Nearly 3,000 years earlier, another woman defied the expectations of her time: Hatshepsut, Egypt’s lost pharaoh. Her reign was bold, visionary—and nearly erased from history. When Evelyn becomes obsessed with finding Hatshepsut’s secret tomb, she risks everything to uncover the truth about her reign and keep valued artifacts in Egypt, their rightful home. But as danger closes in and political tensions rise, she must make an impossible choice: protect her father’s legacy—or forge her own. Propelled by high adventure and deadly intrigue, Daughter of Egypt is the story of two ambitious women who lived centuries apart. Both were forced to hide who they were during their lifetimes yet ultimately changed history forever.

The Sunflower House
In a sleepy German village, Allina Gottlieb's life is idyllic: she works at the bookshop with her uncle, makes strudel with her aunt, and spends the weekends with her friends and fiancé. But it's 1939, and on one fateful night, her life changes forever. The Sunflower House is a meticulously-researched debut historical novel set at Hochland Home, part of the notorious Lebensborn Program in Nazi Germany - a real-life Handmaid’s Tale. Women of “pure” blood resided there for the sole purpose of perpetuating the Aryan population, giving birth to hundreds of babies who were then raised - and neglected - in this state-run baby factory. With her life on the line, Allina is forced to work as a nurse in Hochland Home. Her Jewish identity must remain a secret in order for her to survive, but when she discovers the neglect occurring within the home, she is determined not only to save herself, but also the children in her care. The Sunflower House is as much a story of one woman’s determination to resist and survive, as it is a love story. When Allina meets Karl, a high-ranking SS officer with secrets of his own, the two must decide how much they are willing to share with each other - and how much they can stand to risk. The threads of this poignant and heartrending novel weave a tale of loss and love, friendship and betrayal, and the secrets we bury in order to save ourselves.
