The Decision Dice
A good life is the result of good decisions. However, we seldom accord the business of decision-making the careful attention it requires. When faced with a major decision, we lack rituals and procedures. We typically procrastinate, lean on the nearest person or rush headlong into an unexamined solution. Fortunately, decision-making is a skill that can be learnt. The chief enemy of wise decision-making is a lack of sufficient perspectives on a problem. The Decision Dice invites us to think through an issue from twelve distinct angles: Enemy, Gut, Death, Caution, Courage, Parent, Friend, Eternity, Child, Success, Billionaire and WTF. As we try out, juggle with and then synthesise these perspectives, our sense of possibility will expand, and a tolerable way forward will gradually emerge from our present confusion.

The Palm House
From the Women’s Prize-shortlisted author of First Love, The Palm House is a sharply observed, slyly funny novel of enduring friendships and small mercies. 'This goes straight onto my list of favourite modern novels’ – The Times'One of our finest novelists of constrained fury: nobody writes better' – The Observer'Mesmerising . . . confirms Riley as one of Britain’s best' – The Telegraph‘A slim, impeccably controlled story that contains multitudes’ – The GuardianLaura and Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world. Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon ‘call me Shove’ Halfpenny. Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back. The Palm House offers us Gwendoline Riley’s trademark keen observation and wit, and leaves us - somehow - with a curious sense of possibility. It is a slender masterpiece from one of Britain’s finest prose stylists. ‘I love this book’ – Sarah Perry, award-winning author of The Essex Serpent‘Outstandingly brilliant’ – Claire-Louise Bennett, award-winning author of Big Kiss, Bye-Bye‘Riley’s prose is so electric, so alive with humour and insight and passion, that by the end you will want to stand up and cheer’ – Paul Murray, author of The Bee StingNamed a Most Anticipated Book for 2026 by: Financial Times, The Times, The Observer, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Sunday Times, New Statesman, Good Housekeeping, Country & Town House, Shortlist, The New York Times, Irish Times, Vulture, LitHub and BBC Culture.

Yogasana
Master yogi and lifelong yoga devotee Dr. Yogrishi Vishvketu has created an authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedia of yoga poses in Yogasana, making the practice, spirituality, and language of yoga more accessible than ever before. Nearly a millennium ago, the hatha yoga tradition included over seven hundred thousand yoga poses. Today, only a fraction of those are known. Dr. Vishvketu bridges that gap by connecting modern poses to their ancient roots with an intuitive naming system that fuses past with present. Sanskrit translation and pronunciation guides help practitioners gain an understanding of the relationship between the name and the spiritual significance of each pose, while the energetic essence of each asana is highlighted with chakra activation indicators for each pose. The 800 poses also appear in the proper sequence of a yoga practice, making it an excellent tool for planning a class or home practice. With poses adapted to every skill level, the encyclopedia is an invaluable resource for both the yoga novice and the studio owner.

Open, Heaven
James dreams of another life far away from his small village. Almost an adult, his newfound desires threaten to unravel his shy exterior.
Then he meets Luke. Unkempt and handsome, charismatic and impulsive, he has been sent to stay with his aunt and uncle on a nearby farm. With the passing seasons, a bond emerges between them that transforms their lives.
Yet James is never sure of Luke’s true feelings and as the end of summer nears, he has a choice to make: will he risk everything for the possibility of love?
City of Rats
Welcome to the gutters of 1970s Paris – and the anarchic, darkly comic world of City of Rats. When pet rat Gouri finds himself locked out of his owner’s apartment, he has no choice but to strike out alone onto the pavements of Paris. But what begins as a strange and marvellous bedtime story - Gouri and his new friend Raka selling flour-coated worms to pigeons for spare change - soon spirals into an exhilarating whirlwind of murder, sex, unionised hamsters, courtroom drama, and, finally, Armageddon.
Told through a series of letters from Gouri to Argentinian playwright Copi, City of Rats channels Copi’s lifelong fascination with society’s outcasts - queer people, immigrants, the homeless, and criminals - into a fiercely imaginative, unflinchingly provocative tale of a world hurtling into madness.

Krkonošští rodáci vzpomínají 6
Krkonoše si lidé často spojují jen s krajinou, která je však i krajinou paměti. Je to svět, do kterého se po staletí otiskovala práce, jazyk, víra, řemeslo i každodenní starosti. A právě proto má smysl chránit vedle přírodních hodnot i paměť místních lidí.
V šestém díle Krkonošští rodáci vzpomínají najdeme životní příběh Franze Brauna z Rýchor, který si jako kluk pamatuje, jak v roce 1938 na jejich louce stavěli čeští vojáci obranné bunkry. Přečtete si muzikantské historky trumpetisty Karla Pičmana, který mimo jiné s kapelou vítal v květnu 1945 Rudou armádu nebo nepříliš veselý odchod rodiny paní Helgy Schulze-Fischer z rodných Vítkovic.
Kniha navazuje na dlouhodobou práci Libora Duška – badatele a autora, který umí dějiny vyprávět tak, aby nezůstaly jen v archivech. Jeho síla je v umění ptát se, naslouchat a zpracovat vzpomínky zpovídaného pamětníka. Zároveň nejde o pouhé vzpomínání. Jeho profesní svět se opírá o poctivou práci s prameny, místem a kontextem.
Stíny Kasejovicka 1
Kasejovice jsou malé město ležící na pomezí jižních a západních Čech. Jeho historická zákoutí ukrývají celou řadu zajímavých a zapomenutých příběhů. Kniha Stíny Kasejovicka na ně nahlíží především optikou místních mužů zákona. Čtenář se tak dostane nejen mezi násilníky, zloděje a lidi žijící na okraji společnosti, ale bude i svědkem živelních katastrof, bizarních konfliktů mezi katolíky a protestanty či politického pletichaření na místní radnici. To vše rámují „velké“ dějiny, které do dění na Kasejovicku mnohdy nemilosrdně zasáhnou. V závěrečné části se čtenář seznámí s životními osudy jednotlivých četníků a městských strážníků, v nichž se odráží dramatičnost 20. století. Nahlédne tak mezi železnobrodské odbojáře, bude svědkem poválečných excesů na Rožmitálsku a setká se s operací Státní bezpečnosti, nesoucí krycí název „Akce Lichnice“.
Open Socrates
Socrates has been hiding in plain sight. We call him the father of Western philosophy, but what exactly are his philosophical views? He is famous for his humility, but readers often find him arrogant and condescending. We parrot his claim that 'the unexamined life is not worth living,' yet take no steps to live examined ones. We know that he was tried, convicted, and executed for 'corrupting the youth,' but freely assign Socratic dialogues to today's youths, to introduce them to philosophy. We've lost sight of what made him so dangerous. In Open Socrates, acclaimed philosopher Agnes Callard recovers the radical energy at the centre of Socrates' thought and shows why it is still the way to a good life.
Callard draws our attention to Socrates' startling discovery that we don't know how to ask ourselves the most important questions- about how we should live, and how we might change. Before a person even has a chance to reflect, their bodily desires or the forces of social conformity have already answered on their behalf. To ask the most important questions, we need help. Callard argues that the true ambition of the famous "Socratic method" is to reveal what one human being can be to another. You can use another person in many ways-for survival, for pleasure, for comfort- but you are engaging them to the fullest when you call on them to help answer your questions and challenge your answers.
Here Callard shows that Socrates' method allows us to make progress in thinking about how to manage romantic love, how to confront one's own death, and how to approach politics. In the process, she gives us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.
K-POP - Forradalom!
Candace Park élete gyökeresen megváltozott – gyakornokból debütálás előtt álló idollá vált, lépteit rajongók és kamerák követik. Barátjával, Jongbével ők a K-pop-világ álompárja, új lányegyüttese, a The Girls sikere garantált. Ráadásul a SAY Entertainment új vezetősége is helyes irányba tart: ahelyett, hogy beszabályozná, támogatja a lányokat. A rajongók pedig alig várják, hogy kedvenceik végre berobbanjanak.
Mi történik azonban, ha a rekordokat döntögető debütálás előkészületei közben kiderül, talán mégsem következett be az áhított változás? Ha egyszer csak felbukkan egy rivális együttes, amelynek tagjai hitelesebben képviselik azt az üzenetet, ami Candace-t K-pop-harcossá tette? Ha a hírnév egyre messzebb és messzebb sodorja nemcsak a szeretteitől, hanem önmagától is?
A közvélemény és a K-pop-ipar egyszer a világ tetejére repítette, most azonban a legmélyebb gödörbe taszítja. Mit lép Candace Park: feladja az álmát vagy forradalmat robbant ki?
Když je spolkly vlny
První pravidlo záchrany zní: Nezvyšuj počet obětí. Grace právě potkala nejhorší noční můra každého učitele. Po náročném dni v australské divočině stojí na břehu rozbouřeného oceánu a pozoruje, jak tři studenty unáší silné proudy na otevřené moře.
Během několikadenní exkurze do australské divočiny, kde se středoškoláci seznamují s přežitím daleko od civilizace, dostane skupina náctiletých chlapců nápad: rozhodnou se nenápadně uniknout pozornosti pedagogů a zaplavat si v oceánu. Ve chvíli, kdy je učitelka Grace spatří, jsou již daleko od břehu a Grace jako záchranářka ví, že pomoci jim by znamenalo riskovat vlastní život. Má zůstat na břehu, nebo se pokusit o nemožné a téměř jistě zahynout v předem prohraném boji?
V chaosu následujících dnů se Grace musí postavit truchlícím rodičům a na povrch začnou vyplouvat nové skutečnosti. Kdo chlapcům našeptal smrtící dobrodružství? Kdo může za jejich smrt? Komu může Grace ještě věřit?
Strhující psychologický thriller z australského pobřeží vznikl na základě osobní zkušenosti autora, středoškolského lektora pobytů ve volné přírodě a dobrovolného záchranáře.
Vychází v překladu Jakuba Laxara.
