Studenti, láska, Čeka a smrt
Sedmnáctiletá dcera lékaře vyrůstá obklopena láskou a bohatstvím. V předvečer občanské války a bolševického převratu si začíná psát deník, který se později stane jedním z nejdojímavějších a nejautentičtějších svědectví o rudém teroru. Neohrabané zápisky z prvních stránek postupně dozrávají, podobně jako mladá studentka. Na konci se setkáváme se statečnou mladou ženou, která na malém sibiřském nádraží odevzdává své zápisníky rakouskému válečnému zajatci vracejícímu se do vlasti. Zachytila v nich domovní prohlídky, popravy, morální chaos, vraždu carské rodiny, exodus ruské inteligence, lesk a morální bídu československých legií, ale i své první lásky a zklamání. Deníky mladičké ruské studentky přinášejí překvapivé svědectví i pro ty, kterým se zdá, že o tomto období četli snad už vše.Alja Rachmanovová, vlastním jménem Galina Džuraginová (1898, Kasli - 1991, Ettenhausen) pocházela z ruské šlechtické rodiny. Byla výraznou představitelkou první vlny ruských exilových autorů. Dětství a mládí strávila v uralském městečku Kasli. Začátek občanské války v Rusku přinutil její rodinu k útěku na Sibiř, kde se provdala za rakouského válečného zajatce Arnulfa von Hoyera. Krátce po svatbě museli manželé opustit sovětské Rusko. S malým synem se usadili nejprve ve Vídni, později v Salzburgu. V meziválečném období vydává Galina pod pseudonymem Alja Rachmanovová své deníky. Ve třicátých letech vycházejí ve třech svazcích: Studenti, láska, Čeka a smrt; Manželství v rudé bouřce (česky v létě 2013) a Mlékařka v Ottakringu. Stávají se bestsellery a téměř okamžitě po vydání jsou přeloženy do více než dvaceti jazyků. Po smrti syna na konci druhé světové války vydává knihu Jurka, jeden z mnoha. Následuje čtenářsky úspěšný román Továrna na nového člověka a životopisy různých významných ruských osobností. V roce 1945 Rachmanovová s manželem znovu prchají, tentokrát do Švýcarska. Její manžel zde v roce 1971 umírá, za dvacet let po něm i ona. Alja Rachmanovová odpočívá na salzburském hřbitově po boku manžela a syna.

Wayward Pine 1: Pines
The first book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade.
Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a mission: locate two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase.
As the days pass, Ethan's investigation turns up more questions than answers: Why can't he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn't anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out?
Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan farther from the world he knew, from the man he was, until he must face a horrifying fact - he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
The nail-bitingly suspenseful opening installment in Blake Crouch's blockbuster Wayward Pines trilogy, Pines is at once a brilliant mystery tale and the first step into a genre-bending saga of suspense, science fiction, and horror.
Wayward Pines 2: Wayward
The second book of the smash-hit Wayward Pines trilogy, from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter, Recursion, and Upgrade
It's the perfect town . . . as long as you don't try to leave.
Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town of Wayward Pines is a modern-day Eden - at least at first glance.
Except that within its fences, the residents are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. None of them know how they got here. Some believe they are dead. Others think they're trapped in an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who dare face a terrifying surprise.
As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the town's laws, and he's one of the few entrusted with the truth - even though, for all his knowledge, he's as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else.
But when a murder investigation draws him deeper into the town's inner workings, Ethan learns that its past is darker than even he suspected - and finds himself faced with an impossible choice.
The second novel in Blake Crouch's blockbuster trilogy, Wayward delves deeper into the irresistible mysteries and horrors of this perfect little town, even as it asks what it means to live with secrets - and what price we'll pay for the truth.

Good Arguments
By a two-time debating world champion, a dazzling look at how arguing better can transform your life – and the world – for the better
**Previously published as The Art of Disagreeing Well**
Everyone debates, in some form, most days. Sometimes we do it to persuade; other times to learn, discover a truth, or simply to express something about ourselves. We argue to defend ourselves, our work, and our loved ones from external threat. We do it to get our way, or just to get ahead.
As a two-time debating world champion, Bo has made a career out of arguing. Over the past few years, however, he’s noticed how we’re not only arguing more and more, but getting worse at it – a fact proven by our polarised politics. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, as well as those of illustrious participants in the sport such as Malcolm X, Edmund Burke and Sally Rooney, Seo shows how the skills of debating – information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion – are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives. Along the way, he provides the reader with an unforgettable toolkit to use debate as a means to improve their own.
This book is an everyperson’s guide to disagreeing well, so that the outcome of having had an argument is better than not having it at all. Taking readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, Good Arguments proves that good-faith debate can enrich and improve our lives, friendships, democracies and in the process, our world.
Wayward Pines
Ethan Burke különleges ügynök világos küldetéssel érkezik az idahói Wayward Pines-ba: meg kell találnia és haza kell juttatnia két társát, akik egy hónappal korábban tűntek el az idilli kisvárosban. Mielőtt azonban felvehetné a kapcsolatot a helyi erőkkel, baleset áldozata lesz. Kórházban tér magához, igazolvány, mobiltelefon és aktatáska nélkül. S bár a személyzet nagyon kedves vele, őt mégis nyugtalanítja valami.
Ahogy telnek a napok, Ethan nyomozása egyre több kérdést vet fel. Miért nem tudja felhívni a feleségét és a fiát? Miért nem hiszik el a helyiek, hogy ő különleges ügynök? S mi célt szolgál a várost körülvevő elektromos kerítés? A lakosokat akarják bent tartani vele? Vagy valami mást odakint? Nyomozásának végére Ethan szörnyű dolgokra döbben rá: talán soha nem jut ki élve Wayward Pines-ból, mert ő már nem ugyanaz az ember, aki egykoron volt.
Blake Crouch a huszonegyedik századi thriller koronázatlan királya, a Wayward Pines-trilógia pedig az eddigi mesterműve. A köteteket televízióra alkalmazta a Fox, a sorozat egyes részeit olyan elismert rendezők jegyzik, mint M. Night Shyamalan és Antal Nimród, a főbb szerepekben pedig nem kisebb színészeket láthatunk, mint Matt Dillon, Terrence Howard, Toby Jones és Juliette Lewis.

Burmese Days
Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, Burmese Days describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when 'after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a "subject" people, an inferior people with black faces'. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin, Sub- divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris. At last, after years of 'solitary hell', romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the 'lie' of the 'pukka sahib pose'.
