After Darcy
'Part sequel, part reimagining, and wholly delightful' Jodi Picoult'An absolute delight. Funny, moving and filled with heart' Jennie Godfrey, author of The List of Suspicious ThingsIt is a truism, frequently invoked by the members of the Meryton Women’s Guild, that one is only ever as happy as one’s unhappiest child. So, with five daughters and four grandchildren, it was a miracle Mrs Hester Bennet ever raised a smile. At best, she was only ever tentatively pleased, and even then understood that her contentment rested on the edge of a gaping precipice into which she would inevitably tumble the second Kitty or Lydia (it was almost always those two) messaged in the clutches of yet another existential crisis…Lydia, home from Paris on New Year’s Day in a welter of hangover and humiliation, finds herself swearing off drink, drugs and sex for the next 12 months. Through her unfamiliar sobriety, she’ll see a landmark year for all the Bennet sisters, including a disruptive 40th birthday, an engagement and a funeral: and, maybe, coming to terms with the results of a run-of-the-mill run-in with a jackknifed lorry on a wet stretch of the M1…A sharply funny and unexpectedly tender modern sequel to Pride & Prejudice, this is a story of sisterhood, survival, and second chances. For fans of Marian Keyes, Dolly Alderton, and anyone who's ever wondered what the Bennet sisters would be like in the age of therapy, WhatsApp, and wellness trends gone rogue.

Hőhullámon
A változókor sok nő számára bizonytalanságot keltő időszak. A test jelez, a megszokott egyensúly átalakul, gyakran több a kérdés, mint a válasz. Szükségszerű, hogy mindezt lemondásként, veszteségként éljük meg? Sheila de Liz orvosként és nőként új nézőpontot kínál – amit elmond, esetleg szöges ellentétben áll azzal, amit eddig tudni véltél a változókorról. Közérthetően, szórakoztatóan, tabuk nélkül beszél a perimenopauza testi és lelki folyamatairól, és megmutatja, hogy a megfelelő tudás milyen sokat számít a közérzet, az önbizalom, a mindennapi életminőség szempontjából.
Ez a könyv nem ijesztget, nem egyszerűsít, nem ígér csodát. Segít megérteni, mi történik a testben, hogyan lehet ezt az időszakot tudatosan, önazonosan megélni. A változás nem a női erő elvesztése. Lehetőséget hordoz – egy új egyensúly, egy újfajta jelenlét felé. A másik oldalon valami nagyszerű vár rád: saját magad új változata. Aki erős és szexi, ha éppen ahhoz van kedve, de főleg – szabad.
Solo Leveling 9.
Jinwoo válaszokat akart, és az útja pontosan oda vitte vissza, ahol az egész elkezdődött: a dupla dungeon rettenetes kazamatájába. Miközben ő újra farkasszemet néz az istenként tetszelgő, iszonyatos lénnyel, addig a japán guildeknek fel kell készülnie egy különösen brutális kapu szörnyei elleni harcra. A japán vezetés tudja, hogy miután S rangú vadászai színe-java elesett a hangyák elleni küzdelemben, az országuk képtelen egyedül megakadályozni a dungeon elszabadulását, és külső segítséget kell igénybe venniük az onnan kiáramló rémségek megfékezésére. A kérdés csak az, kihez fordulhatnak, ha a legjobbak legjobbjai is kudarcot vallanak?
A világszerte és idehaza is a sikerlistákat uraló SOLO LEVELING webtoonból készült sorozat az utóbbi évek legnépszerűbb animéje lett.
Serapion
Mgr. art. Vlado JAVORSKÝ (1952) prichádza po románoch Noah (2021), Čas čarodejníc (2022) a románe Chata v hmle (2024, Pars artem) s najnovším románom SERAPION (2026, Signis), ktorý nesie nezameniteľný rukopis autorovej tvorby. Vyštudovaný filmový a televízny scenárista a dramaturg vidí svoje príbehy v obrazoch, ktoré si čitateľ vo svojej fantázii dokáže pred očami pretaviť do akoby odvíjajúceho sa filmu. Román Serapion je „film“ širokého časového plátna. Osudy ľudí v komunite cirkusu od besnenia svetovej vojny až po neľútostnú súčasnosť. Kladie si otázku, prečo toľko pádov, prehratých bitiek a zúfalých pokusov o šťastie? Je to osud, čo ženie človeka do zúfalých činov, kde hľadá nápravu a porozumenie? Hoci je román prakticky bez dialógov, príbeh ich nepotrebuje, je jasný a zrozumiteľný. Autor je znalcom kritických momentov života, ovláda podstatu konfliktov a snáh o ich riešenia. Každý z hrdinov nesie svoj kríž bez zbytočného sentimentálneho balastu. Hrdinovia sú takými, akými ich splodila doba. Sú silní vo svojej viere, že marazmus ich bytia je iba dočasný. Hrdo nosia v sebe nádej v lepšie dni...

Here Lie All the Boys Who Broke My Heart
Sloane Sawyer isn't just writing off her exes. She's burying them.
Each time Sloane's heart is broken by a boy, she writes them a dramatic eulogy in her journal. She's over them already. They're dead to her.
But when the exes start turning up dead in real life, with her eulogies left at the crime scenes, things get complicated.
Now the prime suspect, Sloane must dive headfirst into the investigation before the body count rises higher, or she ends up behind bars. Even if this means having to team up with the stubborn, sarcastic, and dangerously attractive Asher.
Between college parties, messy exes, and an inconveniently hot partner-in-crime, Sloane's senior year is turning into a real killer.
Tropes include:
• College town drama
• Enemies to lovers
• Serial killer
• Fake relationship
• Amateur sleuth
• Narrator that needs to get her sh!t together
The Two Towers
Frodo and the Companions of the Ring have been beset by danger during their quest to prevent the Ruling Ring from falling into the hands of the Dark Lord by destroying it in the Cracks of Doom. They have lost the wizard, Gandalf, in the battle with an evil spirit in the Mines of Moria; and at the Falls of Rauros, Boromir, seduced by the power of the Ring, tried to seize it by force. While Frodo and Sam made their escape the rest of the company were attacked by Orcs.

Space Journal
A celebration of space exploration told through the visual imagination of great dreamers from the seventeenth century to the present day.
An endless source of fascination, space is both alluring and mysterious, a place of wonder and terror. Space Journal is a visual celebration of our perception of the cosmos across centuries and cultures. In drawings and diagrams, plans, charts, and paintings, a great range of scientists and dreamers each tell their own story of an element of space exploration. Their visions were largely based in the scientific understanding of their time, but as it turns out, many of the principles remain.
Moving beyond a collection of space snapshots, this book benefits from the unmatched insights of journalist and collector Dallas Campbell, who weaves together priceless memorabilia, revolutionary experiments, and spectacular scenes to map both real and potential encounters with the unknown throughout history. From Galileo’s shopping list to speeches annotated in President John F. Kennedy’s own hand, from The War of the Worlds to Space Invaders, Campbell’s lavishly illustrated orbit sets out the radical thinkers and creatives who envisioned us leaving our planet - or having guests stop by - and in some cases, made it happen.

The Lives of the Caesars
A masterful new translation of Suetonius' renowned biography of the twelve Caesars, bringing to life a portrait of the first Roman emperors in stunning detail
The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biography invites us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than that by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the centre of Rome and power, in AD 121.
Placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, Suetonius injected flesh and blood into their stories, which continue to inform how we understand the drama of power today. Their shortfalls, foreign policy crises and sex scandals are laid bare; we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities; and we sit at their tables and enter their bedrooms, resulting in a series of biographies mediated through the lives of the Caesars themselves.
That Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius, and now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer in a new, spellbinding translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of the Caesars and of how they inevitably informed what happened across the vast expanse of empire, The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.
Children of Strife
They thought they'd found refuge.

Adopting a bold disguise, she secures a place at the revered Fulda monastery and begins life anew as John the Englishman. A matchless scholar and celebrated teacher, by her middle years she has dazzled the Church hierarchy in Rome, finding herself at the centre of power and intrigue.

I feel like this is the book I've been working towards for my whole writing life. The story of an ambitious woman in a world where women are supposed to be modest. A woman whose mind refuses to accept a small life, and whose body is reviled while remaining, for her, a source of great joy. A woman, who, like so many oppressed people throughout history, finds a way to subvert and resist. To be who she is without permission or approval. In Rapture this legendary, much-argued over figure is a flesh-and-blood woman of ingenuity, purpose and passion. Her name is Agnes, and I'm excited for you to meet her.'

Renaissance Polish Armies 1492–1569
This fully illustrated study assesses the armies of Poland at war in the first half of the 16th century, during the transition from feudal to standing forces. Against a background of almost continual warfare, the 80 years after 1492 witnessed the slow transformation of Polish forces from feudal levies to standing armies. The bloody struggle between Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Muscovites, Cossacks, Turks and Tatars culminated in the Union of Lublin in 1569, uniting the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This crucial period in Polish military history saw the introduction and development of famous troop categories such as the Polish hussars, and a tactical transformation with the introduction of foot and mounted hand-gunners to replace crossbowmen. Drawing upon a wealth of sources, the author explains Polish armies' methods of recruitment; their organizational structure, and that of units of different troop categories; their weapons, armour and equipment; and their strategies and tactics. In this engaging book, specially commissioned artwork and rare illustrations combine with authoritative text to bring this under-researched subject to life for an English-language audience.
To Kill A Mockingbird
'Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'
A lawyer’s advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee’s classic novel – a black man charged with a serious crime.
Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man’s struggle for justice.
But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
