Where the Light Goes
A heart-wrenching exploration of rage, love and bereavement in the wake of suicide, from bestselling prize winner Sara Barnard
"Lizzie Beck" is one quarter of British pop sensation The Jinks, who launched their career via a reality TV talent show and rose straight to fame – and in Lizzie’s case, infamy, for her tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, stints in rehab and candid confessions about her mental health on Instagram. To Emmy, though, she will always be her older sister, Beth, the person whose footsteps she intends to follow. Except now she can’t. Because Beth, Emmy's beloved sister, has died by suicide. Forced to face a world without the guiding light of her bright, brilliant big sister, Emmy must wrestle with the impact of private grief, public scrutiny and discover who she once was and who she will become, now that Beth is gone.

The Price of Existence
Ever since the dawn of mankind, some primal instinct drives us to find proof that we are not alone in this world.
Although billions of people populated the Earth, we still felt alone. We built spaceships and searched on, leaving our home planet. We wanted to see into the distance through the light-years.
But why? What is that longing encoded in our genes that makes us look ever further? Why do we obsessively believe that we cannot possibly be the only sapient civilization in this incomprehensibly big world? After so many disappointments why does our belief still hold, stronger than our life-instincts?
Why are we gazing at the star-studded night sky and ask ourselves again and again – you out there, who we’ve been searching for since time immemorial, which planet do you live on, where should we go?
And what’s next when we find the much-desired answer to these questions?
If those that we’ve been waiting for for so long come to us…will we survive?
The day has come.
The day of the last war.

Gentleman Nine - Kilences Gavallér
Egyikünk hazudott.
Fiatalkorunkban hárman voltunk barátok.
Egy kocka, egy szoknyavadász és egy szépség.
A szívem mélyén mindig is őt akartam. De eltitkoltam, mert Roryval alkut kötöttünk, hogy a közös barátunk, Amber tiltott gyümölcs.
Elmentem egyetemre, és az övé lett a lány. Amber sosem szerzett tudomást az érzéseimről. Évekig voltak együtt - míg Rory végül összetörte a szívét.
Mindezek során a távolság dacára felszínesen tartottuk a kapcsolatot.
Mikor egy három hónapos munkaszerződés Bostonba szólított, Amber a rendelkezésemre bocsátotta a vendégszobáját.
A szakításából lábadozó lány lemondott a férfiakról. Egy este elképesztő dolog fogadott a számítógépe képernyőjén. A randizástól és a további csalódásoktól tartva kötöttség nélküli szexet keresett. Érzelmek vihara söpört át rajtam: féltés, féltékenység és kíváncsiság. Amber a Kilences Gavallért választotta, és üzenetet küldött neki. Kitárulkozott előtte, többek között azt is bevallotta neki, micsoda testi vonzalmat kelt benne a barátja: én. De engem meg ő tart tiltott gyümölcsnek - ráadásul selyemfiúnak is.
(Ami a körülmények fényében vicces.)
Végül egy hotelben beszélt meg találkozót a Kilences Gavallérral, ahol egy visszautasíthatatlan ajánlat várta.

Free Fall: A Sniper´s Story from Chechnya

is unflinching, unforgiving and unputdownable.

Hippie
In HIPPIE, his most autobiographical novel to date, Paulo Coelho takes us back in time to re-live the dream of a generation that longed for peace and dared to challenge the established social order - authoritarian politics, conservative modes of behavior, excessive consumerism, and an unbalanced concentration of wealth and power.
Following the "three days of peace and music" at Woodstock, the 1969 gathering in Bethel, NY that would change the world forever, hippie paradises began to emerge all around the world. In the Dam Square in Amsterdam, long-haired young people wearing vibrant clothes and burning incense could be found meditating, playing music and discussing sexual liberation, the expansion of consciousness and the search for an inner truth. They were a generation refusing to live the robotic and unquestioning life that their parents had known.
At this time, Paulo is a young, skinny Brazilian with a goatee and long, flowing hair who wants to become a writer. He sets off on a journey in search of freedom and a deeper meaning for his life: first, with a girlfriend, on the famous "Death Train to Bolivia," then on to Peru and later hitchhiking through Chile and Argentina.
His travels take him further, to the famous square in Amsterdam, where Paulo meets Karla, a Dutch woman also in her 20s. She convinces Paulo to join her on a trip to Nepal, aboard the Magic Bus that travels across Europe and Central Asia to Kathmandu. They embark on a journey in the company of fascinating fellow travelers, each of whom has a story to tell, and each of whom will undergo a transformation, changing their priorities and values, along the way. As they travel together, Paulo and Karla explore their own relationship, an awakening on every level that brings each of them to a choice and a decision that sets the course for their lives thereafter.

Smrť popoludní
Kniha Smrť popoludní (Death in the Afternoon, 1932) sa zrodila z Hemingwayovho vášnivého zaujatia pre býčie zápasy. Tie sa snaží zasvätene a zároveň pútavo priblížiť zo všetkých stránok, do najmenších podrobností vrátane ich zákulisia a samotného boja s býkmi, vykresľovaného ako dramatický rituál, pri ktorom sa jeho aktéri na každom kroku vystavujú nebezpečenstvu smrti.
Kniha prvýkrát vychádza v slovenskom preklade Mariána Gazdíka s doslovom Jána Vilikovského.

Mr Sammler's Planet
Mr. Artur Sammler, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, and occasional lecturer at Columbia University in 1960s New York City, is a "registrar of madness," a refined and civilized being caught among people crazy with the promises of the future (moon landings, endless possibilities). His Cyclopean gaze reflects on the degradations of city life while looking deep into the sufferings of the human soul. "Sorry for all and sore at heart," he observes how greater luxury and leisure have only led to more human suffering. To Mr. Sammler-who by the end of this ferociously unsentimental novel has found the compassionate consciousness necessary to bridge the gap between himself and his fellow beings-a good life is one in which a person does what is "required of him." To know and to meet the "terms of the contract" was as true a life as one could live.

The Second Sex
Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short form. This book comes with an introduction by Natalie Haynes. When this book was first published in 1949 it was to outrage and scandal. Never before had the case for female liberty been so forcefully and successfully argued. De Beauvoir's belief that 'One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman' switched on light bulbs in the heads of a generation of women and began a fight for greater equality and economic independence. These pages contain the key passages of the book that changed perceptions of women forever.
