German Fantasia
A deserting soldier treks through the torn-up countryside and abandoned villages, trying to distance himself from the atrocities of war.
An elderly man sits beneath lime trees, remembering his first sexual encounter one summer night with a female stranger who whispered another man's name.
A young woman takes up a job in a care home, spending monotonous days scrubbing floors and yearning to dance at the local nightclub.
The artist Franz Marc lives on in an imagined life as a patient at an asylum, before falling victim to Hitler's policy of Gnadentod.
Finally, a young Jewish girl, the life she once knew destroyed, holds her memories close as she finds refuge in wreckage of her homeland.
And throughout there is the shadowy presence of Viktor - one man or many? A looming figure in Germany's own reckoning with its past.
Through these five interconnected stories, Philippe Claudel reflects on Germany's complex history and the experiences of its people, dismantling the idea of "a nation" or "a people" and exploring the malleability of memory.
Zaskočený (Zapletený 2)
Keď úspešny? a bezstarostny? muž stretne opatrnú a zodpovednú ženu a zaľúbi sa do nej, môže ho to trochu zaskočiť.
Na svete existujú dva typy ľudí: takí, ktorí sa najprv pozerajú, a iní, ktorí sa hneď do niečoho vrhnú. Ja som sa vždy najprv pozerala. Plánovala som, bola som opatrná, pozerala som sa. Potom som stretla Drewa Evansa. Bol veľmi vytrvaly?, sebaisty? a bolo veľmi ľahké vrhnúť sa naňho. Myslíte si, že Drew a ja sme odfrčali spolu preč pri západe slnka a žili šťastne až naveky? To som si myslela aj ja. Ale život ponúka na vy?ber a Drew si vybral svoju možnosť. V skutočnosti sa snažil o jej správnosti presvedčiť nás oboch - ale viete, že to nie je môj šty?l. Takže ja som sa vrátila do svojho rodného Greenvillu, aby som strávila nejaky? čas osamote…
No staré zvyky sa vykoreňujú iba ťažko a niekedy sa musíte vrátiť tam, kde ste začali, aby ste sa mohli znova pohnúť vpred.

Legionáři s lipovou ratolestí II.
Kniha mapuje životní osudy dalších patnácti bývalých legionářských velitelů (arm. gen. Ludvík SVOBODA, arm. gen. Jan SATORIE, gen. šéf tech. zbroj. Jaroslav HRBEK, brig. gen. Prokop KUMPOŠT, brig. gen. Petr NOVÁK, brig. gen. Vladimír HOBZA, brig. gen. Mojmír SOUKUP, brig. gen. Jaroslav MALEC, genpor. Václav ŠOLÍN, div. gen. Čeněk RŮŽIČKA, brig. gen.

Najdete mezi nimi velitele bojových jednotek, zpravodajce, techniky i vojenské pedagogy. Bojovali v československých legiích a většina z nich se významným způsobem zapojila do protinacistického odboje, a to jak na domácí frontě, tak i v zahraničí. Generálskou hodnost všichni získali až po 15. březnu 1939. Někteří z nich bohužel in memoriam, poté co za svobodu vlasti zaplatili vlastními životy.
Vedle popisu jejich osudů v knize naleznete více než 170 fotografií a seznámíte se i s klíčovými okamžiky vzniku našich legií v Rusku, Francii a Itálii, stejně jako s významnými boji, jimiž jejich příslušníci prošli.
V tuto chvíli autoři dokončují knihu „Legionáři s lipovou ratolestí III.“ s osudy dalších generálů-legionářů.
Stavitelia v živočíšnej ríši
Živočíchy sú v architektúre majstri! V tomto atlase nájdete ich najskvostnejšie výtvory.
Človeka odjakživa fascinovala príroda a jej zákonitosti. Odnepamäti skúmal vlastnosti a správanie živočíchov aj ich monumentálne stavby. Živočíšna ríša je nevyčerpateľným zdrojom poznatkov, ktoré možno využiť v praxi. V tomto atlase nájdete ich najskvostnejšie výtvory, navštívite nadzemné aj podzemné stavby, spoznáte obydlia na vode i pod ňou, objavíte skromné domčeky a malé skrýše, ale aj veľké sídliská, prenosné úkryty či dočasné príbytky. Medzi množstvom príkladov nechýba hniezdo krajčírika ušité z listov, hniezdo salangany bielobruchej vytvorené zo slín, hniezdna kopa tabona hnedého, špajza tesárika dubového, obrovská stavba družníka vrabcovitého, besiedka záhradkára bezchochlatého, papierové hniezdo ôs, mosty a plte bojových mravcov, pasce pavúkov, prístrešky lariev potočníka, hniezda včiel, čmeľov, termitov a iného hmyzu, rozľahlé nory rypošov lysých, jamky a valy lezcov obojživelných, hrady bobrov, tunely krtov a všeličo iné.
Kniha uvádza množstvo zaujímavých príkladov z najrôznejších kútov sveta, v skutočnosti však za pozoruhodnými zvieracími stavbami a obydliami vôbec netreba chodiť ďaleko – stačí sa vybrať do lesa.
Pripomíname, že počas prechádzky lesom nesmieme zabudnúť, že sme na návšteve. Správajme sa úctivo, nezahadzujme odpadky, nič nelámme ani netrhajme a nerušme lesných obyvateľov.

Wahala
Soon to be a high-budget BBC TV series, a major paperback re-launch for this acclaimed debut recommended on BBC Radio Two Book Club and Woman's Hour, published to rave reviews from Sunday Times and Guardian to Good Housekeeping, Stylist and Red.
Three friends. Three 'perfect' lives. Here comes Trouble.
Ronke wants Happily Ever After and 2.2. kids. She's dating Kayode and wants him to be 'the one'. Her friends think he's just another in a long line of dodgy Nigerian boyfriends.
Boo has just what Ronke wants - a kind husband, a gorgeous child. But she's frustrated, unfulfilled, and desperate to remember who she used to be.
Simi is the golden one with the perfect lifestyle and a career. No one knows she's crippled by impostor syndrome and tempted to pack it all in each time her boss mentions her 'urban vibe.' Her husband thinks they're trying for a baby. She's not.
When the high-flying, charismatic Isobel explodes into the group, she seems to bring out the best in each woman. But the more Isobel intervenes, the more chaos she sows, until Ronke, Simi, and Boo's lifelong friendship begins to crack.
Invisible Child
Based on nearly a decade of reporting, Invisible Child follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani Coates, a child with an imagination as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn homeless shelter. Born at the turn of a new century, Dasani is named for the bottled water that comes to symbolise Brooklyn's gentrification and the shared aspirations of a divided city. As Dasani moves with her family from shelter to shelter, this story traces the passage of Dasani's ancestors from slavery to the Great Migration north.
Dasani comes of age as New York City's homeless crisis is exploding. In the shadows of this new Gilded Age, Dasani leads her seven siblings through a thicket of problems: hunger, parental drug addiction, violence, housing instability, segregated schools and the constant monitoring of the child-protection system.
When, at age thirteen, Dasani enrolls at a boarding school in Pennsylvania, her loyalties are tested like never before. Ultimately, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning the family you love?
By turns heartbreaking and revelatory, provocative and inspiring, Invisible Child tells an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality.
A Mountain to the North, A Lake to The South, Paths to the West, A River to the East
The grandson of Prince Genji lives outside of space and time and wanders the grounds of an old monastery in Kyoto. The monastery, too, is timeless, with barely a trace of any human presence. The wanderer is searching for a garden that has long captivated him.
This novel by International Booker Prize winner László Krasznahorkai - perhaps his most serene and poetic work - describes a search for the unobtainable and the riches to be discovered along the way. Despite difficulties in finding the garden, the reader is closely introduced to the construction processes of the monastery as well as the geological and biological processes of the surrounding area, making this an unforgettable meditation on nature, life, history, and being.

After I Do
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, comes a breath taking novel about modern marriage, the depth of family ties, and the year that one remarkable heroine spends exploring both.
When Lauren and Ryan's marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.
Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren's ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?
This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It's about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you've got. And above all, After I Do is the story of a couple caught up in an old game-and searching for a new road to happily ever after.
Forever, Interrupted
Elsie Porter is an average twentysomething and yet what happens to her is anything but ordinary. On a rainy New Year's Day, she heads out to pick up a pizza for one. She isn't expecting to see anyone else in the shop, much less the adorable and charming Ben Ross. Their chemistry is instant and electric. Ben cannot even wait twenty-four hours before asking to see her again. Within weeks, the two are head over heels in love. By May, they've eloped.
Only nine days later, Ben is out riding his bike when he is hit by a truck and killed on impact. Elsie hears the sirens outside her apartment, but by the time she gets downstairs, he has already been whisked off to the emergency room. At the hospital, she must face Susan, the mother-in-law she has never met-and who doesn't even know Elsie exists.
Interweaving Elsie and Ben's charmed romance with Elsie and Susan's healing process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that there's more than one way to find a happy ending.

The Leviathan
SHE IS AWAKE...
Norfolk, 1643. With civil war tearing England apart, reluctant soldier Thomas Treadwater is summoned home by his sister, who accuses a new servant of improper conduct with their widowed father. By the time Thomas returns home, his father is insensible, felled by a stroke, and their new servant is in prison, facing charges of witchcraft.
Thomas prides himself on being a rational, modern man, but as he unravels the mystery of what has happened, he uncovers not a tale of superstition but something dark and ancient, linked to a shipwreck years before.
Something has awoken, and now it will not rest.
To Paradise
From Hanya Yanagihara, author of the modern classic A Little Life, To Paradise is a bold, brilliant novel spanning three centuries and three different versions of the American experiment, about lovers, family, loss, and the elusive promise of utopia.
In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people may live and love whomever they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists betrothal to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world riven by plagues and governed by totalitarian rule, a powerful scientist's damaged granddaughter tries to navigate life without him - and solve the mystery of her husband's disappearances.
These three sections are joined in an enthralling and ingenious symphony, as recurring notes and themes deepen and enrich one another: A townhouse in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village; illness, and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and squalor; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family, and of nationhood; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful, and of revolutionaries; the longing to find a place in an earthly paradise, and the gradual realization that it can't exist. What unites not just the characters, but these Americas, are their reckonings with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness.
To Paradise is a fin-de-siecle novel of marvellous literary effect, but above all it is a work of emotional genius. The great power of this remarkable novel is driven by Yanagihara's understanding of the aching desire to protect those we love - partners, lovers, children, friends, family, and even our fellow citizens - and the pain that ensues when we cannot.

Groundskeeping
Eager to clean up his act after his troubled early twenties, Owen has returned to Kentucky to take a job as a groundskeeper at a small college in the Appalachian foothills, one which allows him to enrol on their writing course.
It's there that he meets Alma, a Writer-in-Residence, who seems to have everything Owen doesn't - a prestigious position, an Ivy League education, and published success as a writer. They begin a secret relationship, and as they grow closer, Alma, from a supportive, liberal family of Bosnian immigrants, struggles to understand Owen's fraught relationship with his own family and home.
Exploring the boundaries between life and art, and how our upbringings affect the people we can become, Groundskeeping is at heart a love story - a novel about two very different people navigating the turbulence of an all-consuming relationship, and the complications which can ruin it.
