The Call of the Wild
The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated and even somewhat pampered dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events finds him serving as a sled dog in the treacherous, frigid Yukon during the days of the 19th century Klondike Gold Rushes.Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is one of London's most-read books, and it is generally considered one of his best. Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence.London followed the book in 1906 with White Fang, a companion novel with many similar plot elements and themes as The Call of the Wild, although following a mirror image plot in which a wild wolf becomes civilized by a mining expert from San Francisco named Weedon Scott.

Cave Nick & The Bad Seeds - Wild God CD
Spevák, skladateľ, multiinštrumentalista, herec, scenárista a spisovateľ v jednej osobe, to je Nick Cave. Pochádza z Austrálie, kde sformoval kapelu Boys Next Door, ktorá bola súčasťou miestnej post-punkovej scény. V roku 1980 sa skupina premenovala na Birthday Party a presídlila do Európy. Birthday Party na čele s Nickom Cavom si čoskoro získali značný rešpekt a veľmi dobrú reputáciu, ich koncerty boli intenzívne a plné emócií. V roku 1983 sa kapela rozpadla a Cave založil nové zoskupenie Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, v ktorom sa zišiel napríklad s multiinštrumentalistom Mickom Harveym alebo gitaristom Blixom Bargeldom. Skupina je dnes považovaná za jednu z najoriginálnejších post-punkových a alternatívne rockových kapiel, aj u nás je jej popularita značná.
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds sa vracajú s novým albumom „Wild God“, ktorý vyjde 30. augusta. V desiatich skladbách kapela tancuje medzi konvenciami a experimentovaním, pričom odbočuje doľava a obchádza, čo umocňuje bohatú obraznosť a emócie v Caveových príbehoch, ktoré vzrušujú dušu. Je to zvuk skupiny povzbudenej opätovným spojením a vzletom. Sú momenty, ktoré sa láskyplne dotýkajú minulosti Bad Seeds, ale sú prchavé a slúžia len na naplnenie neúnavného a nepokojného pohybu kapely vpred. Produkovali Cave a Warren Ellis a mixoval David Fridmann, Cave začal písať album na Nový rok 2023. Na stretnutiach v Miraval v Provence a Soundtree v Londýne pridali Bad Seeds svoju jedinečnú alchýmiu s ďalšími vystúpeniami Colina Greenwooda ( basgitara) a Luis Almau (nylonová strunová gitara, akustická gitara).
"Dúfam, že album bude mať na poslucháčov taký účinok, aký mal na mňa," hovorí Cave. „Vybuchne to z reproduktora a dostanem sa z toho. Je to komplikovaná nahrávka, ale je tiež hlboko a radostne nákazlivá. Keď robíme nahrávku, nikdy neexistuje hlavný plán. Záznamy skôr odrážajú emocionálny stav spisovateľov a hudobníkov, ktorí ich hrali. Keď to počúvam, neviem, zdá sa, že sme šťastní. [...] Divoký Bože... s touto nahrávkou nie je nič zlé. Keď udrie, udrie. Povznáša vás to. Posúva ťa to. Milujem to na tom.” - Nick Cave

Three Dog Problem
The delightfully clever mystery in which Queen Elizabeth II secretly solves a murder at Buckingham Palace - perfect for fans of The Crown and The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman.
'A witty whodunit starring our very own HM The Queen as an amateur sleuth' - GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
Queen Elizabeth II is having a royal nightmare.
A referendum divides the nation, a tumultuous election grips the United States - and the body of a staff member is found dead beside Buckingham Palace swimming pool.
Is it a tragic accident, as the police think? Or is something more sinister going on?
As Her Majesty looks for answers, her trusted assistant, Rozie, is on the trail of a treasured painting that once hung outside the Queen's bedroom.
But when Rozie receives a threatening anonymous letter, Elizabeth knows dark forces are at work - and far too close to home. After all, though the staff and public may not realise it, she is the keenest sleuth among them. Sometimes, it takes a Queen's eye to see connections where no one else can . . .
Agatha Christie meets The Crown in A THREE DOG PROBLEM, the much-anticipated second book in the 'Her Majesty The Queen Investigates' mystery series by SJ Bennett - for fans of The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, Agatha Christie and M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin.
The Last Wild Horses
The sensational new novel from the author of The History of Bees
Translated into 36 languages, winner of the Norwegian Bookseller's Prize, and the most successful Norwegian author of her generation, Maja Lunde returns with a heart-wrenching tale, set in the distant past and the dystopian future, about extinction and survival, family and hope.
Mikhail lives in Russia in 1881. When a skeleton of a rare wild horse is brought to him, the zoologist plans an expedition to Mongolia to find the fabled Przewalski horse, a journey that tests not only his physicality, but his heart. In 1992, Karin, alongside her troubled son Mathias and several Przewalski horses, travels to Mongolia to re-introduce the magnificent horses to their native land. The veterinarian has dedicated her life to saving the breed from extinction, prioritizing the wild horses, even over her own son.
Europe's future is uncertain in 2064, but Eva is willing to sacrifice nearly everything to hold onto her family's farm. Her teenage daughter implores Eva to leave the farm and Norway, but a pregnant wild mare Eva is tending is about to foal. Then, a young woman named Louise unexpectedly arrives on the farm, with mysterious intentions that will either bring them all together, or devastate them one by one.
Spanning continents and centuries, The Last Wild Horses is a powerful tale of survival and connection-of humans, animals, and the indestructible bonds that unite us all.

Where the Wild Things Grow
Nestled by the roadside, peeking through the hedgerows, hidden in the woods and even in city streets and parks, wild food is all around us - if you know where to look.
From woodland mushrooms and riverbank redcurrants to garden weeds and urban cherry blossoms, Where the Wild Things Grow takes us on a journey through the forager's landscape.
Drawing on 25 years of foraging experience, David Hamilton show us how and where to hunt for the food that is hidden all around us. Along the way he delves into the forgotten histories and science of wild foods and their habitats and reveals his many foraging secrets, tips and recipes. You'll discover where to find mallows, mustards and pennywort, as well as sumac, figs and mulberries. You'll learn how to pick the sweetest berries, preserve mushrooms using only a radiator and prepare salads, risottos and puddings all with wild food.
In all weathers, landscapes and seasons, David shows us that foraging doesn't just introduce us to new tastes and sensations, it also brings us closer to the natural world on our doorstep. Beautifully illustrated and rich in detail, Where the Wild Things Grow is more than a field guide - it is a celebration of the wonderful and fragile gifts hidden in our landscape.
