The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
Do not look. Do not ask. Do not pry.
A sumptuous, gothic story about an obsessive female friendship cursed to end in tragedy, a marriage unraveled by dark secrets, and the danger of believing in fairy tales - the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi.
Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Castenada. He was a scholar of myths. She was heiress to a fortune. They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after - and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past.
But when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom soon finds himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor's extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo's dearest childhood friend, who disappeared without a trace.
As the house slowly reveals his wife's secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives.
Combining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.

How to Think Like a Philosopher
As politics slides toward impulsivity, and outrage bests rationality, how can philosophy help us critically engage with the world?
How to Think Like A Philosopher is a revelatory exploration of the methods, tenets and attitudes of thought that guide philosophy, and how they can be applied to our own lives.
Drawing on decades of enquiry and a huge range of interviews, Julian Baggini identifies twelve key principles that promote incisive thinking. Pay attention; question everything; seek clarity, not certainty: these are just a few of philosophy's guiding maxims which can be applied to everything from understanding the impact of climate change to correctly appraising our own temperaments.
Both a fresh introduction to philosophy covering canonical and contemporary philosophers, and an essential, practical guide to good thinking, How to Think Like a Philosopher shows us the way to a more humane, balanced and rational approach to thinking, to politics, and to life.

Viktor Preiss
Viktora Preisse známe jako charismatického, jemného, elegantního a inteligentního herce s nezaměnitelným šarmem a kouzlem osobnosti. Většina z nás především z obrazovky veřejnoprávní televize, kde ztvárnil bezpočet rolí v inscenacích a seriálech. Dobrodružství kriminalistiky, Slavné historky zbojnické, Nemocnice na kraji města, Cirkus Humberto, a Četnické humoresky patří k těm nejznámějším, podobně jako filmy S čerty nejsou žerty, Báječná léta pod psa, Anglické jahody, Vrásky z lásky nebo Křídla Vánoc. Jeho hlasem k nám promlouvá Robin Williams jako Táta v sukni i v dalších rolích, Kabir Bedi jako nezapomenutelný Sandokan či Michael Douglas v Honbě za diamantem. Za své dabérské umění byl oceněn hned v prvním ročníku Ceny Františka Filipovského za nejlepší výkon v dabingu (1995). Jeho hlas je velmi populární a ceněný také v rozhlasovém éteru v dramatizacích světových literárních děl, za což si vysloužil několikanásobné vítězství v anketě o nejlepšího Neviditelného herce.
Viktor Preiss je však i přes všechna svá výše jmenovaná účinkování a úspěchy především a hlavně divadelní herec. Patnáct let strávil v Městských divadlech pražských, poté se víc jak tři desetiletí výraznou měrou podílel na prezentaci Divadla na Vinohradech jako uměleckého stánku s hvězdným hereckým souborem a mimořádně kvalitním repertoárem. Na prknech, která znamenají svět, vytvořil mnoho výrazných a neopakovatelných rolí, za všechny jmenujme dvojroli v komedii Brouk v hlavě, která se počtem víc jak 340 repríz stala nejúspěšnějším představením ve stoleté historii Divadla na Vinohradech. (!)
V devětašedesáti letech mu zaslouženě patří označení pan herec s velkým „P“ a mistr hereckého řemesla s velkým „M“. Dalo by se bez nadsázky říci, že je pokračovatelem slavné generace předválečných a poválečných hereckých bardů, jakými byli Václav Voska, Karel Höger, Rudolf Deyl ml., Zdeněk Štěpánek, Ladislav Pešek a další. Ocitl se na vrcholu tvůrčích sil a kariéry, takže by mohl už jen sklízet plody svého mistrovství.
O to více překvapilo, když v lednu 2016 oznámil, že odchází do divadelního důchodu.
„Divadlo je běh na dlouhou trať. Zní to skoro jako fráze, ale každý máme určitou psychickou a fyzickou kapacitu, a tedy i hranici unavitelnosti, svoji míru soudnosti a odpovědnosti. A taky jinou potřebu regenerace. To, že jsem mohl dělat divadlo po dvě třetiny svého života, bylo pro mě velké štěstí a jsem za to vděčný. Skutečnost, že jsem mohl pracovat na scénách, na kterých tvořilo tolik osobností před námi, byla nejen zavazující, ale i velká čest. Energie má ale zkrátka své hranice a teprve čas ukáže, jak to s ní doopravdy je a bude. Proto jsem se rozhodl tak, jak jsem se rozhodl. A věřte, nebylo to snadné.“
Věříme, protože Viktor Preiss jako věrný a poctivý služebník múzy Thálie se svému poslání nikdy nezpronevěřil. Pojďte se spolu s námi

Tell It Like It Is
America's favorite writing coach and bestselling author returns with an "indispensable" guide (Diana K. Sugg, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter) to writing clearly and honestly in a world full of lies, propaganda, and misinformation.
The darker and more dystopian the future appears, the more influential public writers become. But with so much content vying for our attention, and so much misinformation and propaganda polluting public discourse, how can writers break through the noise to inform an increasingly busy, stressed, and overwhelmed audience?
In Tell It Like It Is, bestselling author, writing coach, and teacher Roy Peter Clark offers a succinct and practical guide to writing with clarity, honesty, and conviction. By analyzing stellar writing samples from a diverse collection of public writers, Clark highlights and explains the tools journalists, scientists, economists, fact-checkers, even storytellers use to engage, inform, and hook readers, and how best to deploy them in a variety of contexts. In doing so, he provides answers to some of the most pressing questions facing writers today:
- How do I make hard facts—about pandemics, wars, natural disasters, social justice—easy reading?
- How do I get readers to pay attention to what they need to know?
- How do I help contribute to a culture of writing that combats misinformation and propaganda?
- How do I instill hope into the hearts and minds of readers?
With Clark's trademark wit, insight, and compassion, Tell It Like It Is offers a uniquely practical and engaging guide to public writing in unprecedented times—and an urgently needed remedy for a dangerously confused world.

The Mars House
From the #1 bestselling author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, a queer sci-fi novel about a refugee from Earth and a xenophobic Mars politician who agree to a fake marriage after a media encounter damages both their reputations.
In the wake of environmental catastrophe, January, once a principal in London's Royal Ballet, has become a refugee on Tharsis, the terraformed colony on Mars. In Tharsis, January's life is dictated by his status as an Earthstronger-a person whose body is not adjusted to Mars's lower gravity and so poses a danger to those born on, or naturalized to, Mars. January's job choices, housing, and even transportation options are dictated by this second-class status, and now a xenophobic politician named Aubrey Gale is running on a platform that would make it all worse: Gale wants all Earthstrongers to be surgically naturalized, a process that is always disabling and can be deadly.
When Gale chooses January for an on-the-spot press junket interview that goes horribly awry, January's life is thrown into chaos, but Gale's political fortunes are damaged, too. Gale proposes a solution to both their problems: a five year made-for-the-press marriage that would secure January's future without immediate naturalization and ensure Gale's political future. But when January accepts the offer, he discovers that Gale is not at all like they appear in the press. They're kind, compassionate, and much more difficult to hate than January would wish. But as their romantic relationship develops, the political situation worsens, and January discovers Gale has an enemy, someone willing to destroy all of Tharsis to make them pay - and January may be the only person standing in the way.
