King of Wrath
An arranged marriage billionaire romance standalone from bestselling author Ana Huang.
She was my North Star, the brightest jewel in my sky.
Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant.
Billionaire CEO Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.
He never planned to marry…until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows.
Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. The wife he never wanted, and the weakness he never saw coming.
It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. Dante will do everything in his power to destroy the blackmail and their betrothal.
There's only one problem: now that he has her, he can't bring himself to let her go.
***
Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered.
Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family's ticket into the highest echelons of society.
Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money parents.
While the rude, elusive Dante isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty.
Craving his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was the worst possible outcome: falling in love with her future husband.
Democracy Rules
One of our most essential political thinkers offers a vital account of democracy in the twenty-first century
Everyone knows that democracy is in trouble, but do we know what democracy actually is? Political philosopher Jan-Werner Muller, author of the widely acclaimed What Is Populism?, takes us back to basics.
In this short, elegant volume, he explains how democracy is founded on three vital principles: liberty, equality, and also uncertainty. The latter, he argues, is crucial for ensuring democracy's dynamic and creative character. Authoritarians, as well as Big Tech, seek to render politics (and individual citizens) predictable; democracy holds open the possibility that new ideas, movements and identities can be created.
Acknowledging fully the dangers posed by populism, by kleptocratic autocracies like Russia's and by the digital authoritarianism of Xi, Muller also challenges the assumptions made by many liberals defending democracy in recent years. He shows how the secession of plutocratic elites in the West has undermined much of democracy's promise. In response, we need to re-invigorate our institutions, especially political parties and professional media, but also make it easier for citizens to mobilize.
Taking on many of the most difficult political questions we face, this book is a vital rethinking of what democracy is, and how we can reinvent our social contract.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.

King of Greed
A brand-new steamy billionaire romance from the bestselling author of the Twisted seriesHe had her, he lost her... and he'll do anything to win her back. Powerful, brilliant, and ambitious, Dominic Davenport clawed his way up from nothing to become the King of Wall Street. He has everything - a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and more money than he could spend in a lifetime.
But no matter how much he accumulates, he's never satisfied. In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough. It isn't until she's gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory... but by then, it may be too late.
*** Kind, intelligent, and thoughtful, Alessandra Davenport has played the role of trophy wife for years. She stood by her husband while he built an empire, but now that they've reached the top, she realizes he's no longer the man she fell for. When it becomes clear that she'll always come second to his work, she finally takes charge of her life and puts herself first - even if it means leaving the only man she's ever loved.
But what she didn't count on was his refusal to let her go... or for him to fight for their marriage, no matter what it takes.
Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.

Rivers of Babylon (audiokniha)
Číta: Marián Miezga
Knižný debut, román Rivers of Babylon, vzbudil nebývalý čitateľský a kritický záujem. Pišťanek v ňom expresívnym jazykom s využitím rôznych štýlových vrstiev opisuje pre slovenskú literatúru netradičné prostredie bratislavského podsvetia, ktoré zaľudňujú postavy drobných i väčších podvodníkov a prostitútok. Jedinou ambíciou týchto ľudí je spríjemniť si život, čo v ich chápaní znamená oklamať, využiť či zničiť tých ostatných. V tomto svete sa svojou primitívnou a priamočiarou túžbou po moci a peniazoch čoraz viac presadzuje hlavná postava, dedinčan Rácz. Niekde v pozadí týchto činností, ktoré postavám zapĺňajú celý život, sa odohráva revolučná zmena roku 1989. Inšpiračné zdroje pre tento román nájdeme v tzv. poklesnutých žánroch - aj Pišťanek kladie dôraz najmä na priamočiarosť rozprávania a rýchly spád deja. Namiesto psychologizácie sa prikláňa k extrovertnému typu písania.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
