The Last Secret of the Secret Annex
The extraordinary, never-before-told story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex.
Bep was just twenty-three when the Franks went into hiding and she risked her life to protect them, plunging into Amsterdam's black market under the noses of German soldiers and Dutch spies to source food and medicine for the Annex. In those cramped quarters, Bep and Anne's friendship blossomed. As this book reveals, while she was sharing meals with Anne Frank, Bep's sister Nelly whose name was scrubbed from Anne's published diary was collaborating with the Nazis.
Written by Bep's own son, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex interweaves her story with Anne Frank's and Nelly's to show us the Secret Annex as we've never seen it before.
We follow Bep after the war as she struggles to build a life in the shadow of her past, unable to get over losing Anne nor put to rest the horrifying suspicion that she had been betrayed by her own flesh and blood.
Captivating and unsettlingly suspenseful, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex is a portrait of ordinary families caught between the victims and persecutors, in which collaborators and resisters often lived under the same roof. With a moving mother-son relationship at its heart, it explores how historical trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, and how sometimes keeping a secret hurts far more than revealing a shameful truth.
Veľké a malé nie
Táto knižka má dodať dievčatám a chlapcom odvahu a sebavedomie stáť si za svojimi pocitmi a potrebami. Deti často zažívajú, že ich malé, ale vážne mienené nie dospelí nerešpektujú. Ak sa deti nemajú stať obeťami sexuálneho zneužívania, musia poznať svoje potreby a chrániť svoje telesné hranice. A okolie - dospelí - tieto hranice musia rešpektovať. O tom je dodatok pre rodičov a dospelých na konci knižky. Ukážka: My malí to máme s veľkými občas ťažké. Neberú nás vážne. Spýtajú sa nás, či niečo smú, a keď im potichu povieme, že nie, aj tak si robia podľa svojho.

Smile of the Wolf
Tenth-century Iceland. In the darkness of midwinter, two friends set out on an adventure but end up killing a man.
Kjaran, a travelling poet who trades songs for food and shelter, and Gunnar, a feared warrior, must make a choice: conceal the deed or confess to the crime and pay the blood price to the family. For the right reasons, they make the wrong choice.
Their fateful decision leads to a brutal feud: one man is outlawed, free to be killed by anyone without consequence; the other remorselessly hunted by the dead man's kin.
Set in a world of ice and snow, Smile of the Wolf is an epic story of exile and revenge, of duels and betrayals, and two friends struggling to survive in a desolate landscape, where honour is the only code that men abide by.

Because luck does not necessarily come to the stupid, but often to the energetic. It has been proven that a more optimistic attitude can also have a positive influence on life. Because those who actively look for opportunities will also find them, but those who are too hesitant, new opportunities are often blocked. Communication with other people, energy and the development of a good network are important factors in this. Furthermore, resilience exercises, meditation and breathing techniques can help to realistically assess dangers and risks, to evaluate situations objectively and to react adequately. Being happy at the end of the day is also a decision.

Sex and Lies
The first work of non-fiction in English from the prize-winning and internationally bestselling author of Lullaby and Adele, translated by Sophie Lewis.
In these essays, Leila Slimani gives voice to young Moroccan women who are grappling with a conservative Arab culture that at once condemns and commodifies sex. In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire

Portrait of an Unknown Woman
In a spellbinding new masterpiece by #1 New York Times-bestselling author Daniel Silva, Gabriel Allon undertakes a high-stakes search for the greatest art forger who ever lived
Legendary spy and art restorer Gabriel Allon has at long last severed ties with Israeli intelligence and settled quietly in Venice, the only place he has ever truly known peace. His beautiful wife, Chiara, has taken over day-to-day management of the Tiepolo Restoration Company, and their two young children are clandestinely enrolled in a neighborhood scuola elementare. For his part, Gabriel spends his days wandering the streets and canals of the watery city, parting company with the demons of his tragic, violent past.
But when the eccentric London art dealer Julian Isherwood asks Gabriel to investigate the circumstances surrounding the rediscovery and lucrative sale of a centuries-old painting, he is drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse where nothing is as it seems.
Gabriel soon discovers that the work in question, a portrait of an unidentified woman attributed to Sir Anthony van Dyck, is almost certainly a fiendishly clever fake. To find the mysterious figure who painted it-and uncover a multibillion-dollar fraud at the pinnacle of the art world-Gabriel conceives one of the most elaborate deceptions of his career. If it is to succeed, he must become the very mirror image of the man he seeks: the greatest art forger the world has ever known.

Fascism and Democracy
'The feeling that the very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world ... this prospect frightens me much more than bombs'
On the 70th anniversary of George Orwell's death, a new collection of his brilliant essays written during the Second World War
Fascism and Democracy collects five brilliant examples of Orwell's writing during the darkest days of World War Two. Grappling with the principles of democracy and the potential of reform, the meaning of literature and free speech in times of violence, and the sustainability of objective truth, Orwell offers a compelling portrayal of a nation where norms and ideals can no longer be taken for granted. Like the best of Orwell's writing, these essays also serve as timeless reminders of the fragility of freedom.
Summer Light, and Then Comes the Night
"The Icelandic Dickens" Irish Examiner
"Stefansson shares the elemental grandeur of Cormac McCarthy" EILEEN BATTERSBY, T.L.S. Supplement
"A wonderful, exceptional writer . . . A timeless storyteller" CARSTEN JENSEN
"Sometimes, in small places, life becomes bigger"
Sometimes a distance from the world's tumult opens our hearts and our dreams. In a village of four hundred souls, the infinite light of an Icelandic summer makes its inhabitants want to explore, and the eternal night of winter lights up the magic of the stars.
The village becomes a microcosm of the age-old conflict between human desire and destiny, between the limits of reality and the wings of the imagination. With humour, with poetry, and with a tenderness for human weaknesses, Stefansson explores the question of why we live at all.
The Borgias - Power and Fortune
* * A Daily Mail Book of the Week * *
The sensational story of the rise and fall of one of the most notorious families in history.
____________________
'A wickedly entertaining read' The Times
____________________
The Borgias have become a byword for evil. Corruption, incest, ruthlessness, avarice and vicious cruelty - all have been associated with their name. But the story of this remarkable family is far more than a tale of sensational depravities - it also marks the golden age of the Italian Renaissance and a decisive turning point in European history.
From the family's Spanish roots and the papacy of Rodrigo Borgia, to the lives of his infamous offspring, Lucrezia and Cesare - the hero who dazzled Machiavelli, but also the man who befriended Leonardo da Vinci - Paul Strathern tells the captivating story of this great dynasty and the world in which they flourished.

World of Warcraft: Sylvanas
Ranger-General. Banshee Queen. Warchief. Sylvanas Windrunner has borne many titles. To some, she is a hero . . . to others, a villain. But whether in pursuit of justice, vengeance, or something more, Sylvanas has always sought to control her own destiny.
The power to achieve her goals has never been closer, as Sylvanas works alongside the Jailer to liberate all Azeroth from the prison of fate. Her final task? Secure the fealty of their prisoner—King Anduin Wrynn.
To succeed, Sylvanas will be forced to reflect on the harrowing path that brought her to the Jailer’s side, and reveal her truest self to her greatest rival. Here, Sylvanas’ complete story is laid bare: from the breaking of the Windrunner family and her rise to Ranger-General; to her own death at the hands of Arthas and her renewed purpose in founding the Forsaken; to the moment she first beheld the Maw, and understood the true consequences of what lay beyond the veil of death. But as her moment of victory draws near, Sylvanas Windrunner will make a choice that may ultimately come to define her. A choice that’s hers to make.

Minka a Pyžaminka 2. vydanie
Dobrodružstvá Minky a jej najlepšej priateľky Pyžaminky nájdete v druhom – vynovenom vydaní knižky Jaroslavy Blažkovej pre deti. Nádherné ilustrácie Andreja Augustína umožňujú nazrieť do fantazijného sveta veselých a neobyčajných udalostí.
Jaroslava Blažková sa narodila v roku 1933 vo Valaskom Meziříčí, teda v Československu. Na začiatku 60. rokov minulého storočia sa vďaka novele Nylonový mesiac a mnohým krásnym knihám pred deti stala jednou z najznámejších slovenských spisovateliek. Spolu so svojou rodinou emigrovala do Kanady, kde sa ako autorka odmlčala a mlčali o nej aj učebnice. Na Slovensko sa po roku 1989 zasa vracia knihami pre dospelých, deti aj mládež. K Ohňostroju pre deduška či Rozprávkam z červenej ponožky, ktoré čítajú deti v mnohých jazykoch už viac ako polstoročie, pribudla v ďalekej Kanade táto knižka o dvoch zvedavých dievčatách.
