Bloody Brilliant People: The Couples And Partnerships That History Forgot
'Sometimes, 1+1 = changing the world. Cathy Newman's witty, warm history on the power of determined couples will make you look at your relationship and wonder, "Could we be doing more this weekend than just going to IKEA?"' CAITLIN MORAN
From rivals propelling each other forwards to friends combining their talents, it's clear: often two heads are better than one.
How did William and Ellen Craft work together to pull off a perilous cross-country escape from slavery? How did the queer artists Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun become icons of the surrealist movement, then heroines of the resistance in the Second World War? Why couldn't Steve Jobs have started Apple alone?
Vibrant, feminist and unexpected, Cathy Newman rewrites the history books to expose this strange power of two - and to ask why certain collaborators are so often left out of the narrative.

LUCIE
From the moment I first saw Caleb when I was six, I knew he belonged to me. And I knew I'd have to save him-because how else does the girl nobody wants win over the boy beloved by all?
Nothing about his life or mine has gone to plan. He's isolated and miserable. I've got a vindictive ex and more problems than I can count.
But what hasn't changed is this: it still feels like he's mine.
And I still think I may need to save him.

Jog On
Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run.
That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years.
In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream.

This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say ‘jog on’ to your problems and get your life back on track – no matter how small those first steps may be.

Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.

Balmaine kisasszony múltja
"Nem ismerte meg, mert Airdrie hajótörést szenvedett s több évet töltött egy lakatlan szigeten, az itt átélt nélkülözésektõl és szenvedésektõl megöregedett és úgy megváltozott, hogy még Rosamund sem ismert rá. - Én tudom, megismertem volna, ha az én férjem lenne - mondta Annie mély meggyõzõdéssel. - De kié hát a gyerek? - Hát Airdrie-é. - Ezt már régen tudjuk. De hát ki az anyja? - Magától értetõdik, hogy Rosamund. - Nem tudtam - Annie fülig elvörösödött -, hogy Rosamundnak gyermeke volt. - No, most tudod, de ne gondolj semmi rosszat, mert õ Ardrie-nek törvényes felesége: öt év elõtt a törvény szabályai szerint egybekeltek. Mi ezt nem akartuk elhinni, s a te kedves nagynénéd elhitette Rosamunddal s velem is, hogy a gyermeke meghalt."

The Great Divide
A breathtaking historical novel following the incredible construction of the Panama Canal and casting light on the unsung people who lived and laboured in its shadow - by acclaimed author Cristina Henriquez.
It is said that the Canal will be the greatest feat of engineering in history. But first, it must be built.
Ada Bunting, a bold sixteen-year-old from Barbados, arrives alone in Panama as a stowaway alongside thousands of other West Indians seeking work in the grand building project of the Canal. Francisco, a local fisherman, resents the foreign nations clamouring for a slice of his country, but nothing is more upsetting for him than his son Omar's decision to work as a digger. For Omar, whose upbringing was quiet and lonely, this job offers a chance to finally find connection and independence. Scientist John Oswald has come from further afield. He has journeyed to Panama in pursuit of one goal: eliminating malaria. But everything hangs in the balance as his wife Marian falls ill herself.
When John witnesses an act of bravery and compassion from Ada one day, he hires her on the spot as a caregiver for his wife. This fateful decision sets in motion a sweeping tale of ambition, loyalty, and sacrifice.
Breathtaking and impossible to put down, The Great Divide explores the lives of the labourers, fishmongers, journalists, protesters, doctors and soothsayers who lived alongside the construction of the Canal - those rarely acknowledged by history even as they carved out its course.
Day
As the world changes around them, a family weathers the storms of growing up, growing older, falling in and out of love, losing the things that are most precious – and learning to go on.
April 5th, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, troubled husband and wife, are both a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, has created a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house – and whose departure threatens to break the family apart. And then there is Nathan, age ten, taking his first uncertain steps toward independence, while Violet, five, does her best not to notice the growing rift between her parents.
April 5th, 2020: As the world goes into lockdown the brownstone is feeling more like a prison. Violet is terrified of leaving the windows open, obsessed with keeping her family safe. Isabel and Dan circle each other warily, communicating mostly in veiled jabs and frustrated sighs. And beloved Robbie is stranded in Iceland, alone in a mountain cabin with nothing but his thoughts – and his secret Instagram life – for company.
April 5th, 2021: Emerging from the worst of the crisis, the family comes together to reckon with a new, very different reality – with what they’ve learned, what they’ve lost, and how they might go on.
From the brilliant mind of Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham, Day is a searing, exquisitely crafted meditation on love and loss, and the struggles and limitations of family life – how to live together and apart, and maybe even escape the marriage plot entirely.

Poselství ze srdce světa
Kogiové jsou indiánský národ žijící v Sieře Nevadě de Santa Marta, v horách severní Kolumbie v Jižní Americe. Jsou jedinou civilizací, která přežila španělské dobývání, ubránila se vnějšímu světu a jež si v téměř naprostém odloučení udržela svou neporušenou identitu. Kogiové jsou možná jedinými původními obyvateli na světě, kteří si díky výjimečné geografické poloze dokázali uchovat svou kulturu nedotčenou. A nejen to. Ačkoli se u nich dají vysledovat určité podobnosti s ostatními indiánskými národy Karibiku, jižního území Střední Ameriky a severu And, Kogiové mezi nimi stojí naprosto osamoceně. Dodnes přežívají, udržují své tradice, propracovaný duchovní systém, své zasvěcovací a věštecké rituály a upínají se k nim a žijí v naprosté symbióze s přírodou. Věří, že jejich povinností je pečovat o hory, které nazývají srdce světa. Sami si říkají Velcí bratři, nás označují za Malé bratry. Věří, že Malí bratři narušují rovnováhu světa. Člověk se až příliš vzdálil od duchovní podstaty bytí. Tito poslední přežívající potomci dávné předkolumbovské civilizace nás po dobu čtyř století tiše pozorují ze své země skryté na vrcholcích kolumbijských hor. Nyní se obávají konce života na zemi a vyzývají nás, abychom je vyslechli. V roce 1990 se Kogiové rozhodli promluvit ke zbytku světa. Uvědomují si, že po staletí mohli přežít jedině tak, že se po celou dobu udržovali v izolaci, teď se však usnesli, že je čas předat Malému bratrovi poselství. Vypozorovali, že s jejich horami je něco v nepořádku, že srdce světa začíná churavět. Přestával padat sníh a řeky nebyly tak plné jako dřív. Jestliže jsou nemocné jejich hory, pak to znamená, že celý svět je ohrožen. Oslovili Alana Ereiru, autora této knihy, jakož i filmového dokumentu, který poprvé otevřel světu bohatství tradice této poslední nedotčené indiánské civilizace, a vyzvali jej, aby předal západnímu světu jejich poselství. Kogiové – a především jejich duchovní vůdci mamové – tak k nám mohou konečně promluvit. Jeho prostřednictvím můžeme porozumět minulosti a proniknout k pravému a hlubokému významu pradávného náboženského myšlení. Velcí bratři se považují za strážce života na zemi. Vnímají svět jako jedinečnou celistvou živou bytost, o niž se musejí starat a kterou milují. Celý jejich způsob života je zasvěcen péči o faunu a flóru, jsou zkrátka ekologickým společenstvím, jehož chování je zcela podřízeno potřebám a zdraví planety. V současné době si Velcí bratři všímají změn, které by mohly způsobit konec světa. Svět je v agonii. Vědí, že my ho pomalu zabíjíme. Proto k nám promlouvají - naposledy. Chtějí nás varovat a poučit.
