You Will Never Be Forgotten
'Wickedly, exquisitely hilarious' Alexandra Kleeman
'Open-source desire, self-replicating fantasy' Tom McCarthy
'A brilliant and brilliantly strange and strangely funny and menacing debut!' Sam Lipsyte
In this provocative, bitingly funny debut collection, people attempt to use technology to escape their uncontrollable feelings of grief, rage or despair, only to reveal their most flawed and human selves.
An architect draws questionable inspiration from her daughter's birth defect. A content moderator for 'the world's biggest search engine,' who spends her days culling videos of beheadings and suicides, turns from stalking her rapist online to following him in real life. At a camp for recovering internet trolls, a sensitive misfit goes missing. A wounded mother raises the second incarnation of her child.
In You Will Never Be Forgotten, Mary South explores how technology can both collapse our relationships from within and provide opportunities for genuine connection. Formally inventive, darkly absurdist, savagely critical of the increasingly fraught cultural climates we inhabit, these ten stories also find hope in fleeting interactions and moments of tenderness. They reveal our grotesque selfishness and our intense need for love and acceptance, and the psychic pain that either shuts us off or allows us to discover the greatest depths of empathy. This incendiary debut marks the arrival of a perceptive, idiosyncratic, instantly recognizable voice in fiction - one that could only belong to Mary South.

Az áldozati szereptől a polgári tudatig
Ezt a könyvet a meghívás és kihívás szándéka hozta létre mindazok felé, akiket foglalkoztat a romák helyzete, hogy a kulcsfogalmak azonosítása céljából megvitassuk a kulcsfontosságú kérdéseket. Ideális esetben az ilyen kritikus eszmecsere a roma integrációt akadályozó, látszólag megoldhatatlan problémák hatékonyabb kezelését előidéző stratégiák kidolgozásához és alkalmazásához vezet egy olyan időszakban, amikor a romákat segítő EU-s intézkedések egyre nagyobb fenyegetésekkel néznek szembe.A projekt egy hároméves periódus során alakult ki. A folyamat Bíró András észrevételeivel vette kezdetét, melyeket a posztkommunista demokrácia elvileg liberálisabb légkörében több mint húsz évig folytatott aktivizmus kiábrándító eredményei váltottak ki. Ezeket a gondolatokat éleslátó válaszok követték Nicolae Gheorghe és Martin Kovats részéről. A szerzők nem riadnak vissza attól, hogy nyíltan kifejtsék nézeteiket például arról az ellentmondásról, mely bizonyos emberi jogi értékek és a némelyek által „hagyományosnak” tekintett roma kultúra között feszül, vagy azokról a problémákról és félreértésekről, melyek a „roma” kifejezés használatával járnak együtt, de ritkán kerülnek felszínre. Szó esik arról is, milyen előnyei vannak az etnikai alapú roma pártoknak szemben a civil megközelítéssel.Ez a három fejezet formálja a könyv vezérfonalát, de mivel a cél a szélesebb vita kiváltása volt, egy lépéssel továbbmenve aktivisták és értelmiségiek között terjesztettük a szövegeket, akikkel azután megvitattuk őket egy kétnapos műhelykonferencián. A könyv negyedik fejezete ennek az eszmecserének a szerkesztett kivonata. A sort Željko Jovanović, a neves roma aktivista írása zárja, egy lehetséges előre vezető utat vázolva fel. Bár a könyv nem kínál egyszerű megoldásokat, a három esszé szerzőjének jelentősége és a konferencia élénk vitái során elhangzó érvek mégis garantálják, hogy a jövendőbeli viták alapköve lesz.BÍRÓ ANDRÁS hivatásos újságíró, főként a harmadik világ társadalmainak fejlődési folyamatai foglalkoztatták.

There Will Come a Darkness
THE AGE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES.
FIVE LIVES STAND IN ITS WAY.
For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity - until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.
They left behind a secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As a dark new power rises, five souls are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of their world:
A prince exiled from his kingdom
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up
One of them - or all of them - could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?
Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows meets Kristin Cashore's Graceling in this showstopping debut YA fantasy from Katy Rose Pool.
'Unforgettable . . . feels both utterly original and like the best of classic fantasy' Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand
'Katy Rose Pool combines lovable characters, a gorgeously tangible world and an intricate puzzle-box plot to create a story that will pull you inexorably toward the explosive end' Sarah Holland
'A well-crafted, surprising and gripping start to a new trilogy' Kirkus

I Will Break Through!
Per aspera ad astra
Through adversity to the stars
Milan Rastislav Štefánik was great not only for the Slovaks, but also for the Czechs and the French. A virtuoso in life and death, a magnificent example of a man who in every act surpassed himself. A man who went to the very limits of his strength to pursue his dream despite pain and adversity. The liberation of the Slovak nation was a work worthy of the measure of this man. His life was a composite of enormous faith, iron will and noble love for his nation.
In everyone there is a will to fly to the stars, but few manage to reach them. Only those whose desire is greatest can achieve this. While those lacking faith perished in the glow of street lamps, Štefánik managed to reach the stars.
Translated from the Slovak original Prebijem sa! Štefánik. Muž železnej vôle (an imprint of IKAR, a.s., 2018) by James Sutherland-Smith.
Ukážka z textu
The book I’ll Break Through!, reveals Milan Rastislav Štefánik as a man of flesh and blood with desires, loves, visions, but also pain and sorrow. The reader will also learn new and unknown details from Štefánik’s scientific, military and political career. Jozef Banáš offers an immensely engaging and comprehensive view of one of the most important figures in Slovak history.
Marek Eštok, Ambassador to the Council of Europe
The author presents in his typically engaging way the story of the greatest figure in modern Slovak history. It is a book which keeps the readers constantly engaged while giving them valuable historical accounts. I think that the novel should be of particular interest to younger readers, giving them insight and information about an important period insufficiently covered in school textbooks.
Ivan Šesták, co-founder of the Štefánik Memorial in Bratislava
Banáš’s documentary novel about M. R. Štefánik is a book that not only Slovak literature has been waiting for but also Slovak historiography. Its hero is a Slovak star, who managed to soar among the stars of global politics and leave indelible traces there just as a new constellation of the world was taking shape. Of course, neither the winners nor the losers have forgotten him. And to understand this miracle, forgotten either through negligence or disrespect for the truth, took Jozef Banáš years of research. Now, the miracle comes to life before our eyes, in all its grandeur and tragedy.

Comics Will Break Your Heart
Comics Will Break Your Heart is a sweet, funny contemporary teen romance for the inner geek in all of us from graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks.
Miriam's family should be rich. After all, her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing, and now that's what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either. How can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads?
As if she didn't have enough to worry about, Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's grandfather, and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune.
In her endearing debut novel, cartoonist Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance, geek royalty, and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).

I Will Teach You to Be Rich
If you think financial health is beyond your reach, think again. I Will Teach You To Be Rich is the modern money classic that has revolutionised the lives of countless people all over the world, teaching them how to effectively manage their finances, demolish their debt, save better and get the most out of their bank accounts, credit cards and investments.
Now, Ramit Sethi, who has been described by Forbes as a 'wealth wizard' and by Fortune as 'the new finance guru', is back with a completely revised second edition of I Will Teach You To Be Rich, updating it with new tools and insights on money and psychology, along with fantastic stories of how previous readers have used the book to enrich their lives. From crushing your debt and student loans to talking your way out of late fees, to dead simple investment strategies and negotiating that big raise at work, this is the no-guilt, no-excuses, no-BS 6-week programme that will help you get your finances where you want them to be.
That Will Never Work
In the tradition of Phil Knight's Shoe Dog comes the incredible untold story of how Netflix went from concept to company - all revealed by co-founder and first CEO Marc Randolph.
Once upon a time, brick-and-mortar video stores were king. Late fees were ubiquitous, video-streaming unheard of, and widespread DVD adoption seemed about as imminent as flying cars. These were the widely accepted laws of the land in 1997 when Marc Randolph had an idea. It was a simple thought - leveraging the internet to rent movies - and was just one of many more proposals, like personalised baseball bats and a shampoo delivery service, that Randolph would pitch to his business partner, Reed Hastings, on their commute to work each morning.
But Hastings was intrigued, and the pair - with Hastings as the primary investor and Randolph as the CEO - founded a company.
Now with over 150 million subscribers, Netflix's triumph feels inevitable but the twenty-first century's most disruptive start-up began with few believers and calamity at every turn. From having to pitch his own mother on being an early investor, to the motel conference room that served as a first office, to server crashes on launch day, to the now-infamous meeting when they pitched Blockbuster to acquire them, Marc Randolph's transformational journey exemplifies how anyone with grit, gut instincts and determination can change the world - even with an idea that many think will never work.
What emerges, however, isn't just the inside story of one of the world's most iconic companies. Full of counter-intuitive concepts and written in binge-worthy prose, it answers some of our most fundamental questions about taking that leap of faith in business or in life: How do you begin? How do you weather disappointment and failure? How do you deal with success? What even is success?
From idea generation to team building to knowing when it's time to let go, That Will Never Work is not only the ultimate follow-your-dreams parable but also one of the most dramatic and insightful entrepreneurial stories of our time.

I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf
A look at the culture and fanaticism of book lovers, from beloved New York Times illustrator Grant Snider
It's no secret, but we are judged by our bookshelves. We learn to read at an early age, and as we grow older we shed our beloved books for new ones. But some of us surround ourselves with books. We collect them, decorate with them, are inspired by them, and treat our books as sacred objects. In this lighthearted collection of one- and two-page comics, writer-artist Grant Snider explores bookishness in all its forms, and the love of writing and reading, building on the beloved literary comics featured on his website, Incidental Comics. With a striking package including a die-cut cover, I Will Judge You By Your Bookshelf is the perfect gift for bookworms of all ages.

A.J. FINN
After three elderly men are bitten by spiders, everyone assumes that their deaths are tragic accidents. But at police headquarters in Paris, Inspector Adamsberg begins to suspect that the case is far more complex than first appears.
It isn't long before Adamsberg is investigating a series of rumours and allegations that take him to the south of France. Decades ago, at La Misericorde orphanage, shocking events took place involving the same species of spider: the recluse.
For Adamsberg, these haunting crimes hold the key to proving that the three men were targeted by an ingenious serial killer. His team, however, is not convinced. He must put his reputation on the line to trace the murderer before the death toll rises...

Chlapec v parku
Dylan Aaronsen, prodavač v obchodě se zdravou výživou, příležitostný básník a životní samotář balancující na prahu středních let, chodí během své obědové přestávky každý den do stejného parku, kde si užívá okolního klidu a baví se sledováním kolemjdoucích. Všimne si zde také malého osamělého chlapce, který se pravidelně objevuje na vyšlapaném plácku u zdejšího jezírka. Čím bedlivěji ho ale sleduje, tím víc je mu jasné, že s chlapcem není všechno v pořádku. Připadá mu apatický, a když od jisté chvíle začne na jeho pažích pozorovat modřiny, uvědomuje si, že musí jednat. To, co byl zpočátku jen běžný zájem, se rázem mění v posedlost a Dylan se vydává na temnou a děsivou cestu, na jejímž konci má nalézt cosi, co celý jeho dosavadní život obrátí vzhůru nohama. Pravda je totiž ještě mnohem horší, než si kdy vůbec dokázal představit…

I Will Be Complete
'I Will Be Complete is the best memoir I've read in years. It's likely the best memoir published in years.' Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life and Chang and Eng
From the bestselling author of Carter Beats the Devil and Sunnyside, a shocking, big-hearted memoir about his bizarre upbringing in California in the 1970s and how he survived it.
Glen David Gold grew up rich on the beaches of 1970s California, until his father lost a fortune and his parents divorced when he was ten.
Glen and his English mother moved to San Francisco, where she was fleeced by a series of charming con men and turned increasingly wayward. When he was twelve, she took off for New York without telling him, leaving him to fend for himself. On midnight streets and at drug-fuelled parties, wise-cracking his way through an alarming adult world, Glen watched his mother's countless, wild attempts to reinvent herself.
In this exceptional memoir, acclaimed novelist Glen David Gold captures his bizarre, lonely upbringing and how it shaped him as an adult with stunning insight and unsparing candour. Shocking, mordantly funny and achingly affecting, he tells an unforgettable story of the years he spent trying to rescue his mother - and his ultimate realisation that only by breaking free could he ever hope to be complete.
'The prose is crystalline, hard as real diamonds, flashing, revealing. The story is simple, just a boy and his mother's long disintegration, but the journey is darkly complicated, heartbreaking, beautiful as hell.' Mark Childress, author of Crazy in Alabama

Someday We Will Fly
From the author of Blind, a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story set during World War II in Shanghai, one of the only places Jews without visas could find refuge.
Warsaw, Poland. The year is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother, Alenka, disappears and her father flees with Lillia and her younger sister, Naomi, to Shanghai, one of the few places that will accept Jews without visas. There they struggle to make a life; they have no money, there is little work, no decent place to live, a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive?
Meanwhile Lillia is growing up, trying to care for Naomi, whose development is frighteningly slow, in part from malnourishment. Lillia finds an outlet for her artistic talent by making puppets, remembering the happy days in Warsaw when her family was circus performers. She attends school sporadically, makes friends with Wei, a Chinese boy, and finds work as a performer at a "gentlemen's club" without her father's knowledge.
But meanwhile the conflict grows more intense as the Americans declare war and the Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing, more death. Can they survive, caught in the crossfire?
