Psalms For The End Of The World
It's 1962 and physics student Grace Pulansky believes she has met the man of her dreams, Robert Jones, while serving up slices of pecan pie at the local diner. But then the FBI shows up, with their fedoras and off-the-rack business suits, and accuses him of being a bomb-planting mass-murderer.
Finding herself on the run with Jones across America's Southwest, the discoveries awaiting Gracie will undermine everything she knows about the universe. Her story will reveal how scores of lives - an identity-swapping rock star, a mourning lover in ancient China, Nazi hunters in pursuit of a terrible secret, a crazed artist in pre-revolutionary France, an astronaut struggling with a turbulent interplanetary future, and many more - are interconnected across space and time by love, grief, and quantum entanglement.
Spanning continents, centuries, and dimensions, this exquisitely crafted and madly inventive novel - a triple-disk, concept-album of a book - is a profound yet propulsive enquiry into the nature of reality - the perfect immersive read for fans of David Mitchell, Emily St. John Mandel, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood.

The Crown
Elizabeth Mountbatten nečekala, že její otec zemře tak náhle a tak mladý. Navíc za sebou zanechal prázdný trůn a vládu nad Britským impériem. Veškerá zodpovědnost nyní přechází na mladou Elizabeth, která má už tak co dělat se svými dvěma dětmi. Sledujte i vy životní cestu ženy, která se musela naučit, jak se stát královnou.
Zatímco se Británie vypořádává s dopady války, nová panovnice musí čelit vlastním problémům. Elizabethina matka zpochybňuje její manželství, strýc se vysmívá jejím schopnostem, manžel se nechce smířit se skutečností, že bude muset obětovat kariéru i rodinné jméno. Do toho vzpurná sestra prožívá milostný románek, jenž ohrožuje několik staletí staré vazby mezi církví a korunou. Tato kniha předkládá čtenáři příběh Alžběty II., která musela využít všech svých schopností a prostředků, aby zajistila stabilitu britské monarchie.
Televizní seriál The Crown z produkce Netflixu představuje strhující portrét nejdéle vládnoucí britské panovnice. Královský životopisec Robert Lacey v této knize detailně líčí každodenní život uvnitř Buckinghamského paláce a v sídle premiéra v Downing Street č. 10, díky čemuž můžeme zhodnotit osobnost Alžběty II. ze zcela nového úhlu pohledu.

The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men
Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Do numbers truly exist? What sort of reality do formulas describe?
The complexity of mathematics - its abstract rules and obscure symbols - can seem very distant from the everyday. There are those things that are real and present, it is supposed, and then there are mathematical concepts: creations of our mind, mysterious tools for those unengaged with the world. Yet, from its most remote history and deepest purpose, mathematics has served not just as a way to understand and order, but also as a foundation for the reality it describes.
In this elegant book, mathematician and philosopher Paolo Zellini offers a brief cultural and intellectual history of mathematics, ranging widely from the paradoxes of ancient Greece to the sacred altars of India, from Mesopotamian calculus to our own contemporary obsession with algorithms.
Masterful and illuminating, The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men transforms our understanding of mathematical thinking, showing that it is inextricably linked with the philosophical and the religious as well as the mundane - and, indeed, with our own very human experience of the universe.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The story of the fall of the Ottoman Empire, published to coincide with the centenary of its dissolution
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. By 1914 it had been much reduced, but still remained after Russia the largest European state. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914, despite its successfully defending itself for much of the war, doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book, published for the centenary of the last Sultan's departure into exile, explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

The English Patient
A beautiful new limited edition paperback of The English Patient, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list
A small cargo plane will come down to land, slipping from the level of the horizon. It tips its wings within desert light and then sound stops, it drifts to earth.
The final curtain is closing on the Second World War and in an abandoned Italian villa Hana, a nurse, tends to her sole remaining patient. Rescued from a burning plane, the anonymous Englishman is damaged beyond recognition and haunted by painful memories.
The only clue Hana has to unlocking his past is the one thing he clung on to through the fire - a copy of The Histories by Herodotus, covered with hand-written notes detailing a tragic love affair.
