The Gloaming
'The best lives leave a mark.'
A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.
Its Mine
‘Crypto’, a loose term that means many things to different people, only entered the public consciousness within the last five years or so, now evident by the volume of public discussion, commentary and analysis spread across every conceivable media outlet.
Cryptography has been around for millennia, but Bitcoin only arose in 2009, and it was the spark that has taken crypto from a small group of enthusiasts into a many-tentacled creature, now attaching itself to an astonishing number of projects across all manner of applications, challenging both public and private power centres and long-established norms as it spreads. Starting with the emergence of cryptocurrencies, a whole new host of life-forms have emerged – NFTs, the metaverse, Defi, Web3 and DAOs – all of them changing the very notion of ownership.
It’s Mine digs into the history and concept of ‘ownership’, which ecosystems nurture it, and where we are now. Filled with anecdotes, observations and interviews, the book takes an entertaining and accessible look at how Bitcoin made its mark, how its technology is being re-purposed to enable a revolution, and (in non-technical terms) how it all works. It explores how these new crypto ‘life-forms’ will interact with the rest of the virtual and physical world, while making some very rich and some very poor.
The Stone Age
On 12 July 1962, the Rollin' Stones performed their first-ever gig at London's Marquee jazz club. Down the line, a 'g' was added, a spark was lit and their destiny was sealed. No going back.
These five white British kids set out to play the music of black America. They honed a style that bled bluesy undertones into dark insinuations of women, sex and drugs. Denounced as 'corruptors of youth' and 'messengers of the devil', they created some of the most thrilling music ever recorded.
Now, their sound and attitude seem louder and more influential than ever. Elvis is dead and the Beatles are over, but Jagger and Richards bestride the world. The Stones may be gathering moss, but on they roll.
Yet how did the ultimate anti-establishment misfits become the global brand we know today? Who were the casualties, and what are the forgotten legacies? Can the artist ever be truly divisible from the art?
Lesley-Ann Jones's new history tracks this contradictory, disturbing, granitic and unstoppable band through hope, glory and exile, into the juggernaut years and beyond into rock's ongoing reckoning . . . where the Stones seem more at odds than ever with the values and heritage against which they have always rebelled.
Good, bad and often ugly, here are the Rolling Stones as never before.
Rozum a cit - audiokniha
Román sleduje tři sestry Dashwoodovy, které se musí přestěhovat se svou ovdovělou matkou z Norland Park, kde vyrůstaly. Panství totiž v rámci dědictví přechází na Johna, syna z prvního manželství pana Dashwooda. Sestry i se svou matkou si musí hledat nový domov. Mají možnost pronajmout si skromný dům v Devonshiru, na pozemku vzdáleného příbuzného, Sira Johna Middletona. Tam Elinor a Marianne zažívají lásku, romantiku a zlomená srdce. Muži a ženy opačných charakterů jsou svedeni dohromady. Šance na lásku jsou ale zmařeny společenskými konvencemi doby, které brání upřímnosti a otevřenosti a místo toho plodí dvojakost a utajení.

The Other Pandemic
Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist James Ball takes us into the depths of the internet to trace the origins and rapid ascent of QAnon, the movement that mutated from a niche online conspiracy theory into the world s first digital pandemic.
*A Financial Times Book to Read in 2023*
Imagine a deadly pathogen that, once created, could infect any person in any part of the globe within seconds. No need to wait for travellers, trains, or air traffic to spread it, all you need is an internet connection. In this gripping investigation, Pulitzer Prize winner James Ball decodes the cryptic language of the online right and with a surgeon s precision tracks the spread of QAnon, the world s first digital pandemic.
QAnon began as an internet community dedicated to supporting President Trump and intent on outing a global cabal of human traffickers. A short, cryptic message posted by an anonymous user to a niche internet forum in 2017 was the spark that ignited a global movement. What started as a macabre game of virtual make-believe quickly spiralled into the spread of virulently hateful, dangerous messaging which turned into tragic, violent actions.
Incoherent, chaotic, free from agendas: QAnon is a one-size-fits all cult conspiracy. From a standoff at the Hoover Dam, to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on 6 January 2021, to protesting COVID-19 lockdowns, this digital pandemic has spread globally and shows no signs of stopping.
In The Other Pandemic Ball takes us into the niche pathways through which these digital pathogens spread, mutate and infect people all across the globe but he also argues that the prognosis doesn t have to be dire. He shows us that it is possible to treat and cure this virus in order to build up our digital immune systems, and be better prepared to survive the next wave.

Csoda az Andokban
"Az Életben maradtak története a túlélő szemszögéből" 1972 tavasza. Nando Parrado három napig fekszik öntudatlanul, majd arra eszmél, hogy a rögbicsapatát Chilébe szállító repülőgép valahol az Andok kellős közepén lezuhant, s a balesetben több csapattársa és az édesanyja is szörnyethalt. Egy élettelen gleccseren rekedve szüntelenül az apjára gondol, és szilárdan eltökéli: nem fogja tétlenül várni a halált. Hófödte hegycsúcsokon, alattomos hegyoldalakon átkelve hetven kilométert tesz meg a fagyos pusztaságban, hogy segítséget hozzon társainak. Több mint harminc évvel a tragédia után az azóta nemzeti hőssé lett Parrado megindító őszinteséggel és mély érzelmekkel idézi fel megpróbáltatása történetét. Személyes hangú beszámolója megrendítő erővel közvetíti a halálközeliség élményét s a nyomában feltörő életigenlést: az egymásért való küzdés, az összetartás erejét.

On Letters
On Letters is an epistolary essay, structured as thirteen wide-ranging and personal letters to the late conceptual artist On Kawara. Playing with language and its limits, the letters focus first on the artist''s five decade long body of ''Date Paintings'' and their relationship to typography. Yet from this starting point, the writing swerves to encompass topics such as the creative process, mindfulness, numbering systems, race, narrative structures, and more. On Letters is a unique glimpse into one artist''s inner dialogue and an exploration of how the solitary practice of artmaking can spark other transformations in the world.

Plán úniku
V pokračování románu Druhý život Nicka Masona se hlavní hrdina snaží vymanit ze spárů zločineckého bosse, který zcela ovládá jeho život, zároveň však stále musí plnit smrtelně nebezpečné úkoly, aby neohrozil svoji rodinu.
Nick Mason byl postaven před vskutku těžko splnitelný úkol: má se vetřít do přísně tajného federálního programu na ochranu svědků, který doposud nikdo nedokázal infiltrovat, dostat se na kobylku trojici mužů, kvůli nimž putoval jeho šéf Darius Cole na doživotí za mříže, a zlikvidovat je.
Nejdřív je ovšem musí vypátrat – tyto ostře sledované osoby střeží na tajných místech čtyřiadvacet hodin denně po zuby ozbrojení maršálové federální vězeňské služby a čas ubíhá. Pokud tito tři zemřou, odejde Darius Cole ze soudní síně jako svobodný člověk. Ve snaze splnit svěřený úkol, dává Mason v sázku všechno, co má…
