Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu
Šťastie. Kľúč k úspechu je rozmarná poviedka, ktorá nám dá vzácne ponaučenie: šťastie k nám nepríde len tak samo od seba - musíme mu vytvoriť podmienky, aby sme ho pritiahli. Jednoduchý a dojímavý príbeh priateľov z detstva Maxa a Jima sa začína v Central Parku v New Yorku, kde sa náhodou stretnú po päťdesiatich rokoch. Max prežil úspešný život, Jim, bohužiaľ, nie. Tajomstvo Maxovho úspechu spočíva v príbehu, ktorý mu kedysi dávno rozprával starý otec. Jeho príbeh pripomína Coelhovho Alchymistu a ukazuje, ako sa chopiť príležitosti a dosiahnuť v živote úspech. V prekvapujúcom závere sa poviedka vracia späť na začiatok a okrem podmanivého príbehu ponúka čitateľovi inšpiráciu i návod na získanie šťastia.

Encyklopédia snehu
Krátko po letnej búrke, ktorá minulý týždeň nečakane postihla predmestie Buffala, sa našlo opustené auto. Patrilo Sarah Emily Mianovej, ktorá sa nedávno vrátila do rodného mesta. Polícia objavila v kufri auta zviazaný rukopis s názvom Encyklopédia snehu, autorkou je pravdepodobne Mianová, aj keď sa zdá, že na ňom spolupracovala s neidentifikovaným švajčiarskym alchymistom, ktorý sa celý život venoval skúmaniu snehu. Polícia hľadá ďalšie stopy v nezvyčajnom dokumente, ktorý na základe historických i fantastických príhod rozpráva o veľmi zvláštnom vzťahu dvoch ľudí. Prípadné informácie o mieste pobytu Mianovej, bývalej kuchárky, šoférky turistického autobusu, súkromnej detektívky v západnej časti štátu New York a absolventky University of East Anglia v Anglicku oznámte policajnému oddeleniu v Buffale, telefónne číslo (716) 694 600.

The Scarlet Alchemist
You cannot create good without also creating evil.
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her.
A dark YA fantasy duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal family.
Infinity Alchemist
Ash Woods isn’t supposed to perform alchemy – he’ll be arrested if anyone ever finds out. But when he’s caught by the condescending Ramsay Thorne, instead of handing him over to the reds, Ramsay surprises Ash by making him an offer: Ramsay will keep Ash’s secret if he helps her find the legendary Book of Source, a sacred text that gives its reader extraordinary power.
As Ash and Ramsay work together and their feelings for each other grow, Ash discovers their mission is more dangerous than he imagined, pitting them against influential and powerful alchemists – Ash’s estranged father included. Ash’s journey takes him through the cities and wilds across New Anglia, forcing him to discover his own definition of true power and how far he and other alchemists will go to seize it.
Fans of Cemetery Boys and Iron Widow will love this LGBTQ+ romantasy reminiscent of A Deadly Education meets Six of Crows.

Maktub
An essential companion to the inspirational classic The Alchemist, filled with timeless stories of reflection and rediscovery.
From one of the greatest writers of our age comes a collection of stories and parables unlocking the mysteries of the human condition. Gathered from Paulo Coelho’s daily column of the same name, Maktub, meaning “it is written,” invites seekers on a journey of faith, self-reflection, and transformation. As Paulo Coelho explains, ‘Maktub is not a book of advice?but an exchange of experiences.’
Each story offers an illuminated path to see life and the lives of our fellow people around the world in new ways, allowing us to tap into universal truths about our collective and individual humanity. As Coelho writes, ‘a man who seeks only the light, while shirking his responsibilities, will never find illumination. And one who keep his eyes fixed upon the sun . . . ends up blind.’ In these wise tales akin to Zen koans and other mysteries of the universe, there are talking snakes, old women climbing mountains, disciples querying their masters, Buddha in dialogue, mysterious hermits, and many saints.
Following the path of his previous internationally bestselling works, this thoughtful collection of short, inspirational pieces, introduced in a foreword by the author and illustrated with black-and-white line art throughout, will engage seekers of all ages and backgrounds.
Paulo Coelho Deluxe Collection Box

Fourth in the modern-classic and bestselling bookwandering series for readers aged eight to twelve that celebrates all that is best in life: books, adventure, friendship - and cake.
Milo lives on board the Sesquipedalian, or "Quip" - a magical train that uses the power of imagination to travel through both Story and the real world. The train is owned by Milo's uncle, Horatio, and Milo has witnessed many of his uncle's dodgy dealings as a book smuggler trading in rare books.
When Horatio takes on a dangerous new job, he needs the help of Tilly Pages. And Tilly owes Horatio a favour. But when poisoned copies of The Wizard of Oz are sent to Horatio and Tilly's grandfather, sending them both into deep sleeps, Milo and Tilly find themselves racing against time to save them - and to figure out what is going on.
Their journey takes them to the Emerald City with Dorothy, rocketing on the unruly Quip, and eventually to Venice in Italy, in pursuit of the mysterious Alchemist. The very essence of imagination, story itself, may be in danger . . .
