Man and Wife (Oxford World´s Classics)
Man and Wife (1870) combines the fast pace and sensational plot structure of Collins's most famous novels with a biting attack on the inequitable marriage laws in Victorian Britain. At its centre is the plight of a woman who fears that the archaic marriage laws of Scotland and Ireland may have forced her into committing unintentional bigamy. As the novel progresses, the atmosphere grows increasingly sinister when the setting moves from a country house to a London suburb and a world of confinement, plotting, and murder.

Until it became a prison…
But can a student stand against an empire?
An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World
Since the end of the Cold War, the world has been shaken to its core three times. 11 September 2001, the financial collapse of 2008 and - most of all - Covid-19. Each was an asymmetric threat, set in motion by something seemingly small, and different from anything the world had experienced before. Lenin is supposed to have said, 'There are decades when nothing happens and weeks when decades happen.' This is one of those times when history has sped up.
In this urgent and timely book, Fareed Zakaria, one of the 'top ten global thinkers of the last decade' (Foreign Policy), foresees the nature of a post-pandemic world: the political, social, technological and economic consequences that may take years to unfold. In ten surprising, hopeful 'lessons', he writes about the acceleration of natural and biological risks, the obsolescence of the old political categories of right and left, the rise of 'digital life', the future of globalization and an emerging world order split between the United States and China. He invites us to think about how we are truly social animals with community embedded in our nature, and, above all, the degree to which nothing is written - the future is truly in our own hands.
Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World speaks to past, present and future, and will become an enduring reflection on life in the early twenty-first century.

Never Greener
The past has a habit of tracking us down. And tripping us up.
When Kate was twenty-two, she had an intense and passionate affair with a married man, Callum, which ended in heartbreak. Kate thought she'd never get over it.
Seventeen years later, life has moved on - Kate, now a successful actress, is living in London, married to Matt and mother to little Tallulah. Meanwhile Callum and his wife Belinda are happy together, living in Edinburgh and watching their kids grow up. The past, it would seem, is well and truly behind them all.
But then Kate meets Callum again.
And they are faced with a choice: to walk away from each other . . . or to risk finding out what might have been.
Second chances are a rare gift in life. But that doesn't mean they should always be taken . . .

Súmrak, 2.vydanie
Keď si Isabellina mama nájde nového priateľa, Isabella Swanová sa presťahuje zo slnečného Texasu k otcovi do upršaného a studeného Forksu v štáte Washington. Spočiatku sa jej zdá, že na svete nie je beznádejnejšie a nudnejšie miesto. Keď však stretne tajuplného a príťažlivého Edwarda Cullena, jej život sa zázračne zmení.
Bella sa do Edwarda beznádejne zamiluje. Edward so svojou porcelánovou pokožkou, zlatými očami, mámivým hlasom a nadprirodzenými schopnosťami je neodolateľný a nepreniknuteľný. Bella podvedome cíti, že je iný, až sa nakoniec dozvie pravdu. Aj Edwarda priťahuje k Belle neznáma sila, až ju napokon pozve do rodiny upírov Cullenovcov.
Meyerová rozpráva príbeh tejto paranormálnej lásky s neuveriteľnou samozrejmosťou, realisticky a zároveň tak príťažlivo, že sa doň ponoríte celou dušou. Bez váhania uveríte tvrdeniu autorky, že jej cieľom bolo podať nesmrteľnú lásku Romea a Júlie v inom šate a inom storočí. A to sa jej naozaj podarilo, ľúbostný vzťah Belly a Edwarda je koncentrátom romantiky celej jednej generácie.

History Is All You Left Me
You’re still alive in alternate universes, Theo, but I live in the real world where this morning you’re having an open casket funeral. I know you’re out there, listening. And you should know I’m really pissed because you swore you would never die and yet here we are. It hurts even more because this isn’t the first promise you’ve broken.
OCD-afflicted seventeen-year-old, Griffin, has just lost his first love – his best friend, ex-boyfriend and the boy he believed to be his ultimate life partner – in a drowning accident. In a desperate attempt to hold onto every last piece of the past, a broken Griffin forges a friendship with Theo’s new college boyfriend, Jackson. And Griffin will stop at nothing to learn every detail of Theo’s new college life, and ultimate death. But as the grieving pair grows closer, readers will question Griffin's own version of the truth – both in terms of what he’s willing to hide, and what true love ultimately means...
Praise for History is All You Left Me
"History Is All You Left Me overflows with tenderness and heartache. Even when its hero is screwing up royally, maybe especially then, Silvera's humanity and compassion carve out a space where it's not the falling that's important, it's how you pick yourself back up. There isn't a teenager alive who won't find their heart described perfectly on these pages." Patrick Ness
"Adam Silvera is a master at capturing the infinite small heartbreaks of love and loss and grief. History Is All You Left Me is a beautiful meditation on what it means to survive devastating loss. This book will make you cry, think, and then cry some more." Nicola Yoon
Vojvoda a kráľovná
Grace Condryová celý život utekala pred minulosťou. Pred rokmi ju zradila jej jediná láska, vyrastala na ulici a dnes je z nej kráľovná odvrátenej strany Londýna. Grace je bystrá a nebojácna, vďaka tomu sa ubráni pred každým nepriateľom. Nečakane sa však objaví muž, ktorého kedysi milovala, a karta sa obráti. Cieľavedomý a bezohľadný Ewan, vojvoda z Marwicku, strávil desaťročie hľadaním krásnej Grace. Pre dávnu hru ju možno navždy stratil, ale je odhodlaný podstúpiť čokoľvek, aby si opäť získal jej srdce... a urobil z nej vojvodkyňu. No zmierenie je to posledné, po čom mladá žena túži. Nedokáže odpustiť krivdu a prisahá, že sa pomstí. Znamená to však, že sa musí držať v jeho spoločnosti. Čoskoro sa tak jej úhlavným nepriateľom stane niečo celkom iné.
Z anglického originálu Daring and the Duke (Avonbooks, New York 2019) preložila Miriam Ghaniová.
