The Angel´s Game
From master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, comes The Angel’s Game — a dazzling new page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love.The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that when I opened those windows — my new windows — each evening its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets in my ear, that I could catch on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen…In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city’s underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner. Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed — a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.Once again, Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in The Shadow of the Wind and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. Through a dizzyingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.From the Hardcover edition.

Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories
This is Don DeLillo's first collection of short stories, written between 1979 and 2011; in it he represents the wide range of human experience in contemporary America -- and forces us to confront the uncomfortable shadows lurking in the background. His characters are plagued by their own deep, often unconscious, longings; they are subjected to shocking violations, exposed to unexpected acts of terror. No matter whether he is focused upon the slums of New York or astronauts in orbit around the Earth, DeLillo chooses never to turn away from the unsettling manner in which humans are brought together. These nine stories describe the extraordinary journey of a great American writer who changed the literary landscape.

And the Ass Saw the Angel
And the Ass Saw the Angel - Nick Cave's classic Gothic novel, in its full and original form. Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and
prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both...In 2009 Cave released a cut-down version of his novel but this reissue restores the full uncut text, as first published in 1989. Compelling and astonishing in its baroque richness, Nick Cave's acclaimed first novel is a fantastic journey into the twisted world of Deep Southern Gothic tragedy. This book will be adored by readers of Will Self, William Faulkner and Falnnery O'Connor, as well as fans of the cult rock star everywhere. "An explosion of linguistic bri
o and Gothic grotesquery, horrifying, funny and tragic". (Michel Faber, Guardian). "As if a Faulkner novel had been crossed with Whistle down the Wind and then narrated by a stoned blues musician ...heady". (Daily Telegraph). Nick Cave was born in Australia in 1957. He moved to London with his band The Birthday Party in 1990 and four years later he formed The Bad Seeds, with whom he has made 15 studio albums. In recent years he has made two albums with his other band, Grinderman. In 1999 he curated and directed the Meltdown Festival at London's South Bank Centre. He has also written the soundtrack for a number of successful films including The Assassination of Jesse James, Lawless and The Proposition. His novel And the Ass Saw the Angel was an international bestseller, Time Out's Book of the Year, and was reissued in the Penguin Essential series. His second novel The Death of Bunny Monroe was published in 2009. He lives in Brighton with his wife and two children.
Tomorrow Sex Will Be Good Again
Women are in a bind. In the name of consent and empowerment, they must proclaim their desires clearly and confidently. Yet sex researchers suggest that women's desire is often slow to emerge. And men are keen to insist that they know what women-and their bodies-want. Meanwhile, sexual violence abounds. How can women, in this environment, possibly know what they want? And why do we expect them to?
In this elegant, searching book-spanning science and popular culture; pornography and literature; debates on Me-Too, consent and feminism-Katherine Angel challenges our assumptions about women's desire. Why, she asks, should they be expected to know their desires? And how do we take sexual violence seriously, when not knowing what we want is key to both eroticism and personhood?
In today's crucial moment of renewed attention to violence and power, Angel urges that we remake our thinking about sex, pleasure, and autonomy without any illusions about perfect self-knowledge. Only then will we fulfil Michel Foucault's teasing promise, in 1976, that 'tomorrow sex will be good again'
The Angel at No. 33
'Am I dead? I don't feel dead...' Sophie cannot leave the people she loves. Her husband, Ollie - a man who once watered a houseplant for a year before realising it was plastic - is lost without her. Their son Freddie is so little. And her friend Jenny? There's something she desperately needs to know before it's too late. Some love stories never end.

Daleko od Toleda
Když byli Židé vyhnáni ze Španělska, rozutekli se všemi možnými směry a zakotvili také na území dnešního Bulharska, kde někteří z nich zapustili kořeny. Nejinak tomu bylo v případě předků dědečka Ožungra, který v sousedské sounáležitosti s dalšími Židy, ale i Armény, Bulhary a Turky prožil na plovdivském předměstí celý svůj rozporuplný, leč svým způsobem šťastný život. A zplodil potomky, kteří mohou vyprávět, vzpomínat a hodnotit. Mohou se zamyslet nad neuvěřitelnou náboženskou i lidskou tolerancí, která tehdy panovala. Aniž by Wagenstein opakoval banální a všeobecně známou skutečnost, že strom vyrůstá z kořenů a je na nich v největší míře závislý, působivě a s grácií skutečného vypravěče konstatuje, že z některých kořenů vyrůstá strom vhodný leda na klacky, ale jsou i takové, z nichž vznikají housle – což v určitém smyslu platí i pro lidi...

Lélektársak - Angel - Merj hinni... merj szeretni!
Angel lobbanékony természetű.
Nehezére esik palástolni azt a képességét, amellyel uralni
tudja a vizet. Ám ahogy összetalálkozik a borongós,
de jóképű Marcusszal egy nyári fesztiválon, ahol
mindketten fellépnek, úgy érzi, mintha a hullámok őt is
elsodornák: a fiú énekétől az ő lelke is dalra fakad.
Kölcsönös vonzalmuk feltartóztathatatlanul tör előre, akár a dagály; ám Marcus bizalmatlansága Angel adottságával szemben még erősebbnek bizonyul.
Hogy maradhatnak együtt, ha Marcus képtelen elfogadni Angel valódi énjét, és mit jelenthet ez kettejüknek?
És ahogy a hurok egyre jobban szorul a savant közösség körül, legfőbb ideje eldönteni, hogy ki melyik oldalon áll.
A nagysikerű Lélektársak-sorozat savantjainak szövevényes története ezzel az izgalmakkal és humorral átszőtt regénnyel folytatódik.

Mechanický pomaranč, 3. vydanie
Už pred viac ako polstoročím, keď Mechanický pomaranč vyšiel prvý raz, sa stal „klasikou“ a zaradil sa medzi to najlepšie, čo priniesla moderná literatúra. Rovnomenný film, ktorý podľa nej nakrútil Stanley Kubrick, sa rýchlo stal kultovým a dodnes má svojich verných fanúšikov.
Príbeh sa odohráva v Londýne. Hlavná postava Alex je vodcom štvorčlennej skupiny tínedžerov, ktorá pácha rozličné násilnosti. Medzi sebou sa rozprávajú bizarným slangom s implantovanými rusizmami. Alexa po čase chytia a dostane sa do väzenia, kde ho čaká hrozivý trest s nepredstaviteľnými následkami. Experimentálna liečba ho zmení na krotkého baránka, ktorý sa už nikdy nedopustí násilia, ale zároveň ho tak zbaví aj možnosti voľby medzi dobrom a zlom, jeho ľudskej podstaty.
Kniha je fascinujúcim jazykovým koncertom, brilantnou štúdiou zla v človeku aj drsnou antiutópiou v orwellovskom duchu. K slovenskému čitateľovi sa dostáva v treťom vydaní, doplnenom o doslov profesora Antona Heretika st., psychológa a psychoterapeuta. Zároveň obsahuje detaily z originálneho textu, ktorý sa považuje za jediný autorizovaný rukopis, a slovník slangových výrazov.
Z anglického originálu The Clockwork Orange (Penguin Classics 2013) preložil Otakar Kořínek.

Hranice medzi fantáziou a realitou sa postupne začínajú rozplývať a pred Angel sa vynárajú nové otázky: Kto je skutočný a kto iba vymyslený? Čo sa deje naozaj a čo je iba fikcia?
