Dokonalý policajný štát
Tajná výprava do čínskej dystopie.
Predstavte si život, v ktorom si večer ľahnete vedľa svojho partnera a ráno sa zobudíte po boku štátom dosadeného špicľa. Stačí, ak poviete alebo urobíte niečo, čo sa systému nepáči a môžete skončiť v koncentračnom tábore alebo zmiznúť bez stopy. Kamery v dome, na uliciach, v obchodoch i v práci sledujú každý váš krok. Aj nepatrné pokĺznutie vám spôsobí veľké problémy. A trest môže prísť aj za činy, ktoré ste ešte nespáchali. Prediktívny policajný program pomocou najmodernejších technológií a databáz určí, akého zločinu sa človek v budúcnosti pravdepodobne dopustí a odporučí jeho prevýchovu.
Odrezaní od pravdy a možnosti voľby, pod neustálym dozorom a útlakom policajných zložiek. Obyvatelia Ujgurskej autonómnej republiky Sin-ťiang na západe Číny hovoria svojej dystopii „situácia“. No to, čo pôsobí ako neuveriteľný námet z futuristického románu, je pre Ujgurov mrazivou realitou 21. storočia.
Na základe výpovedí ujgurských utečencov, štátnych zamestnancov, výskumníkov i aktivistov žijúcich v exile, Geoffrey Cain opisuje situáciu z prvej ruky. Podáva svedectvo o tom, ako si Čína stanovila za cieľ vymazať identitu, kultúru a dejiny celého národa. A tak stvorila dokonalý policajný štát...
Z anglického originálu The Perfect Police State: An Undercover Odyssey into China's Terrifying Surveillance Dystopia of the Future (PublicAffairs, Hachette Book Group, New York 2021) preložil Peter Tkačenko.

Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal King that now hunts them.

Widely thought of as the best book Terry Pratchett ever wrote, this is a story of a Nation, a story of a friendship, a story of growing up and the truths we must learn. It is epic in every sense...
Prepare for the world to be turned upside down...
For Mau, halfway between boy and man, it happens when a great wave destroys his entire village. For Daphne, it’s when the same wave crashes her ship into the island that was once Mau’s home. Everything they once had is now so far away, lost to distance and time.
But when Daphne stops trying to shoot Mau (she did apologise for it), and instead uses a salvaged invitation card to invite him to tea, they discover a new home can be theirs.
And then people start arriving on the island – some very good, some very bad. And it’s soon clear that Daphne and Mau must fight for their Nation.
Then a discovery is made that will change the entire world forever...

Ember Shadows and the Fates of Mount Never
In a land trapped by fate, only courage can re-write the future.
In the magical village of Everspring, everyone receives a fate card before their twelfth birthday, sent down from the mysterious Mount Never. It tells them their purpose, their profession and how old they'll be when they die.
Nearly 12-year-old Ember Shadows has always believed she is destined for great things. But when her fate card arrives, it's blank. What does that mean? Then, worse still, her sister's card decrees she will die before her next birthday. No way is Ember's going to let that happen.
Determined to challenge what - or who - is responsible for these cards, Ember sets off up the mountain, a place no one is allowed to go. She encounters forbidden realms full of magic, trickery and curious creatures. In a thrilling race through a magical landscape, Ember Shadows must uncover the secret behind the fate cards in order to save her sister ...
But will Ember like what she finds at the top of the mountain?
With hints of Alice in Wonderland, shades of The Phantom Tollbooth and echoes of Pixar's Inside Out, this a thrilling, warm-hearted race through magical realms, a classic magical adventure, beautifully illustrated throughout.
