Salt Line
In the spirit of Station Eleven and California, award-winning novelist Holly Goddard Jones offers a literary spin on the dystopian genre with this gripping story of survival and humanity about a group of adrenaline junkies who jump “the Salt Line.” How far will they go for their freedom—once they decide what freedom really means? In an unspecified future, the United States' borders have receded behind a salt line—a ring of scorched earth that protects its citizens from deadly disease-carrying ticks. Those within the zone live safe, if limited, lives in a society controlled by a common fear. Few have any reason to venture out of zone, except for the adrenaline junkies who pay a fortune to tour what's left of nature. Those among the latest expedition include a popstar and his girlfriend, Edie; the tech giant Wes; and Marta; a seemingly simple housewife. Once out of zone, the group find themselves at the mercy of deadly ticks—and at the center of a murderous plot. They become captives in Ruby City, a community made up of outer-zone survivors determined to protect their hardscrabble existence. As alliances and friendships shift amongst the hostages, Edie, Wes, and Marta must decide how far they are willing to go to get to the right side of the salt line.

The Happy Prince
In a town where a lot of poor people suffer and where there are a lot of miseries, a swallow who was left behind after his flock flew off to Egypt for the winter, meets the statue of the late 'Happy Prince', who in reality has never experienced true sorrow, for he lived in a palace where sorrow isn't allowed to enter. Viewing various scenes of people suffering in poverty from his tall monument, the Happy Prince asks the swallow to take the ruby from his hilt, the sapphires from his eyes, and the golden leaf covering his body to give to the poor. As the winter comes and the Happy Prince is stripped of all of his beauty, his lead heart breaks when the swallow dies as a result of his selfless deeds and severe cold. The statue is then brought down from the pillar and melted in a furnace leaving behind the broken heart and the dead swallow and they are thrown in a dust heap. These are taken up to heaven by an angel that has deemed them the two most precious things in the city. This is affirmed by God and they live forever in his city of gold and garden of paradise.

Young Jane Young
The author of the international bestseller The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry returns with a witty, moving novel about what it means to be a woman - especially in the Google age where no secret is safe for long. Aviva Grossman, an ambitious Congressional intern in Florida, makes the life-changing mistake of having an affair with her boss - who is beloved, admired, successful, and very married - and blogging about it. When the affair comes to light, the Congressman doesn't take the fall, but Aviva does, and her life is over before it hardly begins. She becomes a late-night talk show punchline; she is slut-shamed, labelled as fat and ugly, and considered a blight on politics in general.How does one go on after this? In Aviva's case, she sees no way out but to change her name and move to a remote town in Maine. She starts over as a wedding planner, tries to be smarter about her life, and to raise her daughter to be strong and confident. But when, at the urging of others, she decides to run for public office herself, that long-ago mistake trails her via the Internet like a scarlet A. These days, Google guarantees that the past is never, ever, truly past, that everything you've done will live on for everyone to know about for all eternity. And it's only a matter of time until Aviva/Jane's daughter, Ruby, finds out who her mother was, and is, and must decide whether she can still respect her.

Clarice Bean, Don't Look Now
A witty and insightful book about worries, starring Clarice Bean. Created by Children's Laureate Lauren Child.
It's the worry you hadn't even thought to worry about that should worry you the most. At least that's how it looks to Clarice Bean, who has been writing her worries in a notebook - things like Worry no. 1: infinity, or Worry no. 3: change. And now that her worst never-imagined worry has happened - her utterly best friend is moving away forever - Clarice doesn't even care about her tickets to the Ruby Redfort, girl detective, film premiere. That is, unless something happens to change things again . . .
Lauren Child's trademark wit combines with spot-on insight in this hugely engaging story about childhood worries, unwanted changes and finding friendships in the most surprising places.
'Funny, contemporary and perceptive' - Mail on Sunday
'A comic and poignant journey' - The Sunday Times
'Clarice Bean fans will be delighted by her new adventures . . . Anxieties such as "change" and "having to go back to school after the holidays" will be recognised by everyone, while her ways of approaching them are delightful' - Guardian

And, after an announcement from Buckingham Palace that the Queen's exotic animals are to be moved from London Zoo to the Tower's grounds, things are about to become a whole lot more interesting...Komodo dragons, marmosets, and even zorillas ('a highly revered yet uniquely odorous skunk-like animal from Africa') fill the Tower's menagerie - and it is Balthazar Jones's job to take care of them. Things run far from smoothly, though - missing penguins and stolen giraffes are just two of his worries! A touching, magical and entirely original debut.

A lányok
"Szerencsétek van, hogy azok vagytok, akik vagytok - mondta Lovey néni, egyikünkről a másikunkra nézve. - Különlegesek vagytok. Ezt kevesen mondhatják el magukról."
Rose és Ruby - testvérek, legjobb barátok, egymás bizalmasai.
Barátságokat kötnek, szerelmesek lesznek, dolgoznak, imádják a nevelőszüleiket és megvalósítják az álmaikat. Ám a Darlen lányok élete mégsem nevezhető hétköznapinak, mivel a 30. születésnapjuk közeledtével ők lehetnek a leghosszabb kort megélt craniopagus ikrek, ugyanis a fejük kistányérnyi helyen összeforrt az egyik oldalon.
Egy orvosi vizsgálat után a könyvmoly Rose elhatározza, hogy megírja az önéletrajzát. Ám amikor Ruby megkérdezi, hogyan írhat egy összenőtt iker önéletrajzot, hiszen nem is egyedül élte az életét, megállapodnak, hogy néhány fejezetet a sokkal csinosabb testvér is papírra vet. Így kiderül, hogy bár sziámi ikrek és elvben ugyanazt élik át, nem mindenben egyezik a véleményük.
Sőt, még titkokat is őriznek egymás elől.
A mindenen átsegítő összetartozás és a függetlenség utáni vágy rendkívüli történetét sosem fogja elfelejteni az olvasó.

Júlia 532.
Ruby csodálkozva meredt a férfira: „Maga tud salsázni?” De hiszen ő azért hívta meg Callumot épp ebbe a zenés étterembe, hogy megleckéztesse. Biztosra vette, hogy egy ilyen sima modorú, elegáns fickó csak felsülhet a lazán öltözött táncosok közt, s ő végre megszabadulhat a vonzásától. Honnan tudta volna, hogy Callum a parkett ördöge, és hamarosan egyéb képességeivel is elvarázsolja majd?

Thomas Bernhard
Vůbec první původní teoretická práce o díle a životě rakouského spisovatele Thomase Bernharda u nás. Autorka se věnuje Bernhardově tvorbě, definuje její svébytnost, charakteristické rysy i postupnou proměnu poetiky a smyslu Bernhardova světa. V rámci tradice rakouské dramatiky, literatury a filozofie sleduje inspirační vlivy a souvislosti od Raimunda, Nestroye, Musila, Hofmannsthala a Schnitzlera až po kritiku jazyka a současné autory, kteří z ní čerpají. Definuje rovněž způsob, jakým Bernhard nakládá s odkazem moderního evropského dramatu a jak s pomocí různých tradičních literárních a kulturních vzorců utváří svou podobu dramatu. Rakouský spisovatel Thomas Bernhard (1931 - 1989) patří k nejvýznačnějším poválečným německy píšícím autorům. V posledních deseti letech se jeho dílo stalo známým a přístupným i u nás. ...Stát jako výtvor je ustavičně odsouzen k ztroskotávání, národ nepřetržitě ke sprostotě a slabomyslnosti... Jsme Rakušané, jsme apatičtí život je v nás demonstrován všeobecnou životní rezignací... Sloužíme úpadku, tvorové agónie... Nemáme se proč stydět, ale také nic nejsme a nezasloužíme nic než chaos.

Sötét elmék
Egy nap titokzatos betegség üti fel a fejét, mely a tizenéves gyerekeket támadja, és csak kevesen élik túl. Ám amikor kiderül, hogy az életben maradt fiatalok mellékhatásként különleges, de egyben veszélyes képességekkel is rendelkeznek, megkezdődik a "rehabilitációs táborokba" gyűjtésük, ahol kutatóorvosok dolgoznak azon, hogy a gyerekek újra egészségesek legyenek. És bár a közvélemény úgy tudja, hogy ezeket a helyeket a gyerekek megmentésére hozták létre, valójában kegyetlen eszközökkel próbálják féken tartani őket. Ruby szintén túlélte a betegséget, így nála is megjelent egy képesség, amely talán mind közül a legveszélyesebb, és képtelenek uralni. Tízéves vot, mikor Thurmondba, a legkegyetlenebb táborba hurcolták. Egy nap az egyik ápolónő segítségével sikerül elmenekülnie, de hamar kiderül, hogy a nőben sem bízhat, így egyedül kell boldogulnia. Útközben összetalálkozik Liammel, Charlesszal és Suzuméval, akik szintén táborban voltak egy másik városban. Közösen indulnak el, hogy megtalálják East Rivert, ami a szóbeszéd szerint biztonságos menedéket jelenthet a szökött gyerekeknek. Az út során Ruby és Liam egyre közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz. Ám amikor elérik az East Rivert, kiderül, hogy semmi sem olyan, amilyennek látszik.
