The Freelance Way
Největší bestseller Melvilu vydaný po roce 2016 míří do světa! Kniha Roberta Vlacha Na volné noze: Podnikejte jako profesionálové byla v roce 2017 naší nejúspěšnější novinkou co do prodejů i hodnocení čtenářů: Heuréka 95 %, Kosmas 96 %, Dobrovský 94 %, Martinus 92 %, Goodreads 90 %, Alza 96 %, Zboží.cz 95 % atd. A protože freelancing (neboli podnikání na volné noze) je celosvětový fenomén, který Robertova kniha rozebírá do větší hloubky i šíře než zahraniční tituly, rozhodli jsme se ji vydat také v angličtině a dalších jazycích.
Robert knihu přepracoval pro mezinárodní čtenářské publikum a přidal přes 350 změn, obrázků, cvičení, zdrojů a příkladů ze světa včetně doporučení, která mu exkluzivně zaslali světoví autoři David Allen (GTD), David H. Hansson (Basecamp, Restart), Adam Grant (Dávat a brát) a Austin Kleon (Ukaž, co děláš). Úvodní část zkrátil a výsledný rukopis je o třetinu kratší než 760stránková česká předloha.
Oslovili jsme zkušeného překladatele Erika Pipera, který jako rodilý mluvčí rukopis převedl do svěží soudobé angličtiny, přičemž zachoval styl a ducha originálu. Na textu dále pracoval americký editor Scott Hudson, a aby toho nebylo málo, Robert ještě přizval tucet zkušených freelancerů z půlky světa na závěrečnou oponenturu. Výsledkem je strhující odborná kniha, která se čte jako po másle.

The Ersatz Elevator
There is nothing to be found in the pages of A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. You still have time to choose another international best-seller to read. But if you must know what unpleasantries befall the charming and clever Baudelaire children read on...The Ersatz Elevator is the sixth instalment in A Series of Unfortunate Events in which Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire encounter a darkened staircase, a red herring, friends in a dire situation, three mysterious initials, a liar with an evil scheme, a secret passageway and parsley soda. With 5 million copies sold in the UK alone, one might consider Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events to make him one of the most successful children's authors of the past decade. We, however, consider these miserable so-called adventure stories and the Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey that accompanied the books for children as nothing more than a dreadful mistake.

The Suffering Tree
"It's dark magic brings him back." Tori Burns and her family left D.C. for claustrophobic Chaptico, Maryland, after suddenly inheriting a house under mysterious circumstances. That inheritance puts her at odds with the entire town, especially Jesse Slaughter and his family-it's their generations-old land the Burns have "stolen." As the suspicious looks and muttered accusations of her neighbors build, so does the pressure inside her, and Tori returns to the pattern of self-harm that landed her in a hospital back in D.C. It all comes to a head one night when, to Tori's shock, she witnesses a young man claw his way out of a grave under the gnarled oak in her new backyard. Nathaniel Bishop may not understand what brought him back, but it's clear to Tori that he hates the Slaughters for what they did to him centuries ago. Wary yet drawn to him by a shared sense of loss, she gives him shelter. But in the wake of his arrival comes a string of troubling events-including the disappearance of Jesse Slaughter's cousin-that seem to point back to Nathaniel. As Tori digs for the truth-and slowly begins to fall for Nathaniel-she uncovers something much darker in the tangled branches of the Slaughter family tree. In order to break the curse that binds Nathaniel there and discover the true nature of her inheritance, Tori must unravel the Slaughter family's oldest and most guarded secrets. But the Slaughters want to keep them buried at any cost.
