Neproniknutelná
Mimořádně upřímná a silná výpověď o životě se sexuální dysfunkcí
Alix začne při sexu s dlouholetým přítelem pociťovat nevysvětlitelnou bolest. Když zjistí, že trpí vaginismem, začíná maraton vyšetření i terapeutických sezení. Alix ztrácí chuť k fyzickému kontaktu a popisuje, co to pro mladou ženu znamená, jak souvisí tělesné s duševním a naopak… Její přítel Lucas trpí výčitkami, ale zároveň v některých momentech překračuje hranice toho, co si k Alix může dovolit. A oba hledají cestu k udržení partnerského vztahu. Boj o znovuzískání kontroly nad svým tělem a vlastní touhou se mění v hledání cesty k uzdravení, emancipaci a lásce.
Autorka se v drásavém příběhu nevyhýbá ani humoru a nadsázce především ve vizuálním provedení, které je plné podmanivých metafor i celostránkových výjevů. I díky tomu se titul Neproniknutelná zařadil k nejvýraznějším evropským komiksům posledních let a svůj úspěch korunoval cenou publika na Mezinárodním komiksovém festivalu v Angouleme.
Pro čtenáře od patnácti let.
I'll Be the Monster
'The White Lotus meets My Sister, the Serial Killer: I'll Be The Monster is a menacingly funny, daring debut that deserves a spot at the top of every 2026 TBR pile. With humour so biting and unease this sun soaked, this brilliantly vile pager turner cements Sean Gilbert as a bold new voice in literary fiction' Lucy Rose, author of The Lamb
A homicidal couple embarks on a luxury holiday to save their marriage.
After years of secrets and self-restraint, they've reached breaking point. But three days into the trip, they run into Benny, an acquaintance from their Cambridge days. And Benny is desperate to reminisce about a time - and a person - they would rather forget.
Darkly funny and razor-sharp, I'll Be The Monster follows a dangerous game of cat and mouse as it plays out under the stifling heat of the Mediterranean sun. From a major new talent in literary fiction, this gripping debut is a love story about the worst people you know - and of what happens when a change of heart occurs too late.
In Her Defence
Everyone is watching . . .
Wealthy and famous, Anna Finbow stands in court, accusing therapist Jean Guest of brainwashing her daughter Mary to gain access to her trust fund.
Jean claims that the dark memories she's helped Mary uncover are real. That therapy has offered her a chance to finally heal from childhood trauma, and she would be better off away from her family's damaging influence.
I'll tell you now . . . you shouldn't believe either of them.
A fiercely intelligent psychological thriller of obsessive friendship, toxic families and the precarious nature of therapy, from an exceptional new talent.
This Story Might Save Your Life
Benny and Joy like to say that they've been saving each other's lives since the moment they met . . .
Until the day Joy disappears and Benny is accused of her murder.
Best friends Benny and Joy host a beloved 'comedy survival' podcast, gleefully finding life-affirming humour in near-death experiences.
When Benny arrives at Joy and her husband's home one morning to record, he finds shattered glass and an empty house.
With Joy missing and the hours ticking by, not even their most devoted fans could guess the terrible secrets they have hidden from the world - and from each other.
If Benny wants to find Joy in time, and clear his own name, he'll have to solve the highest stakes survival story yet.

Scrypthoria A könyvtárak városa
Kedves Olvasó!
Hiszel az Elvarázsolt Könyvek Városának legendájában? A csodálatos Scryptoriában, ahol olyan sok könyvet tartanak, amennyit emberi szem még sosem látott?
Ezennel kezedben tartod a meghívót az évente egyszer megrendezett Könyvtárak Éjszakájára, amin csak a kiválasztottak vehetnek részt.
Tetszik ez a megszólítás? Vigyázz, ne bízd el magad, mert rajtad kívül mások is veled tartanak a kihívásra.
A nyertes egy minden képzeletet felülmúló nyereményben részesül, aki akár te is lehetsz. A könyvmolyok vágyainak netovábbja ez a hely, ám a végtelen könyvtár egy talán soha véget nem érő, különös kalandra csábít, ahonnan nem biztos, hogy ép ésszel térsz vissza.
Akárcsak Elodie, aki kíváncsian vágott neki a Scryptoriába vezető útnak, de a jóképű, udvarias Kaeden és a sötét, misztikusan vonzó Draven összebogozta a szálakat sorsa pergamenjén.
Nem baj, ha kételkedsz. Csak arra vigyázz, nehogy beszippantson a képzelődés, és ne tudd, hol kezdődik a valóság...
Women and Their Jewels
The word 'jewel' derives from the Old French word joiel, a word that finds its roots in the words for playing, joy, and enjoyment, proof that jewellery is intimately tied to notions of pleasure and happiness.
For some, it is the pleasure of love, for others, an obsessive passion. For Wallis Simpson, after the throne had passed her by, her jewelled treasures were her solace. As for Maria Callas, the soprano amassed diamonds and rubies to ward off the poverty of her childhood, and to spark the jealousy of a mother she hated. Barbara Hutton, America's most famous poor little rich girl, went around wearing a tiara, demanding to be called a princess. And they have been the cause of so much drama, Marie-Antoinette, whose diamond necklace identified her and sent her to the guillotine; Joséphine de Beauharnais, who was also embroiled in a necklace affair involving Marie-Antoinette's pearls; Begum Om Habibeh, Miss France 1930, and wife of the Aga Khan, who was robbed of her royal jewellery in the middle of the street...
In this gloriously illustrated book, novelist and jewellery expert David Lelait-Helo stares into the jewellery boxes of these illustrious women to discover their hearts and their minds.
The women featured are:
Ava Gardner
Barbara Hutton
Brooke Astor
Elizabeth II
Elizabeth Taylor
Eugénie de Montijo
Grace Kelly
Helena Rubinstein
Jackie Kennedy
Diana, Princess of Wales
Maria Callas
Marie-Antoinette
Princess Soraya
Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor

Dough
'Richard is a master of his craft - ultra user-friendly, it might even change the way you look at bread forever.'
- Sunday Telegraph
Since it was first published in 2005, Dough has been widely recognized as the definitive guide to making bread at home. With over 60 recipes, this revised edition marks 20 years of Richard Bertinet's practical and simple approach to home breadmaking.
Breadmaking has never been more simple and do-able. Though the doughs themselves vary, the technique for making each one is identical. The beauty of it is that it takes little to no time at all to fill a bread board with Fougasses, Breadsticks, Moroccan Rolls or Poppy Seed Stars, Sesame Plaits or Cardamom and Prune Bread, and no one will guess that they are all part of the same 'family'.
Richard has been teaching bread making for several years and with his refreshing and easy approach you will discover how to 'work' the dough, get a feel for essential techniques, and have the confidence to experiment with your own ideas. Most of the breads in Dough take less than 1 hour to bake and there are suggestions on how to make the dough in advance ready for a wide range of sweet and savoury bakes - all in the knowledge that you're being guided by a master of the craft.
New recipes: Pizza with a Biga Dough, Sultana and Rosemary Rolls, Apple Poolish Rye Bread, Cardamom Spiced Knots and Hot Cross Buns.
Contents include:
- Chapter 1: White Dough
- Chapter 2: Olive Dough

LEstampe Originale
L’Estampe originale portfolio revisited in landmark Catalogue raisonné
L’Estampe originale graphics portfolio, published in France during the mid 1890s, is widely regarded as one of the greatest collaborations in the history of printmaking. The portfolio features ninety-five works of art by seventy-four influential French, Swiss, Belgian, English and American artists. The visionary Parisian publisher André Marty issued and distributed nine quarterly installments of L’Estampe originale from March 1893 to March 1895 in a limited edition of one hundred. The first eight folios each consisted of ten prints of varying sizes, paper, and media, loose in paper wrappers; the final ninth installment included fourteen prints. In addition to the artist’s pencil or ink signature and an edition number, a unique blind stamp designed by Alexandre Charpentier was embossed on each print.
This revised and full color publication of L’Estampe originale, A Catalogue Raisonné highlights the importance of color lithography during the last decade of the nineteenth century. The book includes an enlightening essay based on hundreds of mostly unpublished handwritten original and facsimile letters from the artists and from Marty’s collaborators; these are preserved at the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. This vast chorus of voices allows the reader to eavesdrop directly on the past and reveals rich details of the life and working methods of André Marty—an ambitious cultural insider and artist, art historian, critic, editor, prominent and discerning publisher, private dealer and entrepreneur.

Milostné patálie krále dramatu
Patch Simmons se rozhodl, že si letos konečně najde přítele. Všichni vyoutovaní kluci v jeho škole jsou bohužel zadaní, takže to nebude snadný úkol… Ale pak zasáhne osud a do divadelní kroužku přibydou dva noví členové: Peter, který se přistěhoval z New Yorku (jak stylové), a jeho nejlepší kamarád Sam. S jedním z nich (to je fuk s kterým!) se dá Patch zaručeně dohromady. Pevně věří, že mu k tomu dopomůžou máminy zastaralé vztahové příručky, přehnaná podpora nejlepší kamarádky Jean a vlastní znepokojivě vysoké sebevědomí. Jestli se vůbec Peterovi a Samovi líbí kluci? To už se vyřeší pak.

Mým žalářem je svoboda
Autor v této sbírce pokračuje v provázení svých čtenářů krok za krokem stezkami, kterými se ubírá jeho duch, a přibírá je k účasti na svém putování za pravdou a smyslem života. Stále je věrný směru, mířenému do sebe sama, do své duše, své podstaty a na to navazující zkoumání přírody a světa a vztahů mezi oběma oblastmi. Věří, že pochopení souvislostí a touha po harmonii pomáhá snáze pronikat do tajů vztahových komplikací a šířit nejen pozitivní myšlení kolem sebe, ale především lásku a soucit. V případě této poslední sbírky se dá již říci, že autor se mnohem více blíží k archetypu žánru, umělecky snad nejrafinovanějšího druhu básnické tvorby, který se pohybuje na hranici poezie, filosofie, intelektuálního vtipu, bonmotu, zhuštěné anekdoty či hudby myšlenky a ticha.

Picasso: The Figure
A fresh, multidisciplinary guide to Picasso's staggering engagement with the human form across painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving and ceramics
Published with Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Amply illustrated, this volume traces Pablo Picasso's (1881–1973) evolving approach to figuration throughout the many stages of his work?from the elongated, hieratic renderings of the Blue and Rose Periods, to the dynamic deconstructions of Cubism, to the colossal fleshy bodies of the 1920s, to the hybrid beings of the Surrealist period and beyond. Yoking masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, the Louvre Abu Dhabi and other institutions, Picasso: The Figure adopts a fresh thematic structure to its subject matter. Its five mythologically inspired sections?"Orion," "Pygmalion," "Minotaur," "Deucalion & Pyrrha" and "The Picasso Canon"?chronologically trace Picasso's figurative innovations across mediums, including painting, sculpture, drawing, engraving and ceramics. Multidisciplinary in approach, the volume features essays not only by leading Picasso scholars but also by historians of the body, anthropologists and prehistorians. Together, the essays dissect the artist's rigorous dialogue with the visual languages of mythology and antiquity from which his modernist representations of the human form emerged.
