Suspicion
Onizuka Kumako is a fierce woman: tall, beautiful, and not afraid to speak her mind. In Tokyo bars, she seduces customers and commits petty crime, using her connections to the local yakuza to get by. When she meets Shirakawa Fukutaro, a rich widower desperate for companionship and unaware of her shady past, the two hit it off and are soon married. But their newlywed bliss is suddenly cut short: one rainy July evening, their car veers off course, plunges into the harbour and Fukutaro is pulled beneath the waves.
Suspected of murder and labelled a femme fatale, Kumako is hounded by the press, but stays firm, repeatedly proclaiming her own innocence. As pressure from dogged journalists mounts, the tide of public opinion is rising against her. But when a scrupulous defence lawyer takes on her case, doubt begins to creep in . . .
In this intricate, psychological noir, masterfully translated into English for the first time, Seicho Matsumoto draws out the hidden demons that guide our convictions, our biases and our deepest desires.
Ekonomické instinkty
Myslíte si, že se při rozhodování o penězích chováte racionálně? Pak vás tahle kniha nejspíš překvapí. Většinu finančních rozhodnutí totiž neřídí chladný rozum, ale emoce, intuice a nenápadné myšlenkové zkratky, o nichž často nemáme ani tušení. Právě proto kupujeme věci, které jsme vůbec nechtěli, držíme se špatných investic, opakujeme stále stejné chyby a děláme pracovní rozhodnutí, která nám zpětně připadají nepochopitelná.
Tato kniha vás provede zákulisím lidského uvažování v ekonomickém světě. Srozumitelně a na konkrétních příkladech ukazuje, jak naše mysl funguje při utrácení, spoření, investování i volbě práce a kariéry. Odhaluje, proč má forma sdělení často větší sílu než samotná fakta, jak snadno podléháme tlaku okolí, momentální náladě nebo falešným autoritám – a proč nás to stojí peníze, čas i energii.
Nečekejte učebnici ekonomie ani zaručený recept na zbohatnutí. Tahle kniha vám nabídne něco cennějšího: schopnost rozpoznat vlastní slepá místa a vyhnout se nejčastějším pastem finančního rozhodování. Pomůže vám dělat méně špatných rozhodnutí – a to je v ekonomice i v práci víc, než se může zdát.

Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his.
Unless he kills for it.

Nestárnoucí příběh: Svatý Jan Bosco
Kněz Jan Bosco (1815–1888) působil v Turíně v politicky napjaté době, kdy veřejnost nebyla církvi vůbec nakloněná. Navíc se začal zajímat o chudé chlapce ztracené v průmyslovém městě, což se tehdy od kleriků rozhodně nečekalo; mnohdy je doslova sbíral z ulice. Nejdřív s nimi trávil nedělní odpoledne, později pro ně zakládal domy, dílny a školy. Nevěnoval jim jen svůj čas, ale především sám sebe. Když
umíral, jeho salesiáni už působili nejen po celé Itálii i jinde v Evropě, ale také v daleké Jižní Americe. Dnes najdeme jejich komunity v téměř 140 zemích světa včetně několika míst v České republice.
A Far-flung Life
Outback Western Australia, 1958: for generations, the MacBrides have lived on a remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it s an ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time still roams untamed.
One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered.
Then, instead of leaving wounds to heal, Fate comes for them yet again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no guide, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness.
A tale of family and belonging, of compassion and hope, A Far-flung Life is about people trying to do their best, each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life. Exploring the lives of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets they shield in order to survive, this epic novel stands as a testament to the enduring power of love.
Howl
A tragicomic portrait of one man's unravelling in an absurd, twisted world, Howl is the propulsive new novel from Booker-Prize winner Howard Jacobson.
In the aftermath of October 7, Ferdinand Draxler walks the streets of London in despair. Everything has changed the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was.
Is he at the crossroads of history or is it just a bend in the cul-de-sac of his own gloomy nature?
The son of a Holocaust survivor who accuses him of cowardice and the father of a daughter who sees him as complicit in genocide, Draxler fixates on bad news. He shouts at the television. He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti.
The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.
His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'
Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon
Adored by readers, the million-copy Japanese magical realist mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD.
If you could meet any dead person of your choosing for one night, who would it be?
When Hirase, a young woman from Tokyo arranges an appointment with The Go-Between, she doesn't expect a teenager to show up. Dressed preppy-style in a duffel coat and carrying a notebook, he communicates with the dead - at least, this is what Hirase has pieced together from the Internet - offering them a chance to travel back into the real world.
He quickly lays down some ground-rules: you are allowed only one meeting with the dead, for a single night; the dead person must not have been called back by anyone else before, plus they have the right to refuse. Lastly, the service is entirely free.
Four more characters will enlist the Go-Between for an emotional encounter with the dead.
What is the mystery behind this smart young man with the notebook and why does he insist on meeting in, of all places, a freezing cold hospital carpark?
Utterly unique and soul-stirring, THE GO-BETWEEN explores the wonder of life, the magic of the ordinary and the importance of friendship and always making amends, from Japan's best-loved magical realist mystery author.
Irish Stories
The short story flourishes in Ireland. All Irish conditions seem to favour it. With its roots in the fertile soil of the Gaelic folk tradition, it appeared to grow and thrive on the discontinuities of Irish history – the war of independence, civil war, political division.
The first Golden Age was in the middle years of the 20th century; an extraordinary flowering of stories from Elizabeth Bowen, Seán Ó Faoláin, Flann O’Brien, Frank O’Connor, Samuel Beckett, Maeve Brennan, Edna O’Brien (the list could go on) came at a time when Ireland was repressed and inward-looking, dominated by the church and enervated by migration. But when the boom times came in the 1990s, it all happened again. The liberal, globalized, ethnically diverse society of 21st century Ireland is still witnessing a vibrant blossoming of short fiction from Anne Enright, Roddy Doyle, Colm Tóibín, Claire Keegan, Sally Rooney, Kevin Barry, Lucy Caldwell, Yan Ge ….

Velký zlý lišák
Velký zlý lišák není ani velký ani zlý a má navíc neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Každý jeho pokus chovat se jako krutá šelma končí nějakou nehodou nebo neúspěchem, takže je pro smích celému okolí – především slepicím. Naštěstí je tu jeho samozvaný mentor vlk. Frustrovaný a hladový lišák, přežívající jen na tuřínové dietě, se nechá přemluvit ke geniálnímu plánu, jak slepice přelstít – ukrást jim vejce, vysedět je a vykrmená kuřátka si dát k obědu. Jenže to, co v teorii zní jednoduše, se v praxi ukáže jako velká komplikace a v komiksu Benjamina Rennera také jako nesmírně vtipné dobrodružství!

Kings of Sin 5-book Boxset
King of Wrath:
The billionaire CEO never planned to marry - until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.
King of Pride:
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified. With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
King of Greed:
He has everything - a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and more money than he could spend in a lifetime. But no matter how much he accumulates, he's never satisfied. In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough. It isn't until she's gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory.
King of Sloth:
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist. Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future.
King of Envy:
Vuk Markovic is notorious for shunning human interactions. The scarred billionaire rarely talks, and he has no interest in relationships outside his small but trusted circle. His only exception? Her.
