Osud a Výlety páně Broučkovy/ Fate and the Excursions of Mr. Brouček
Kniha sleduje genezi dvou pozoruhodných Janáčkových oper Po dokončení své nejslavnější opery Její pastorkyňa hledal Janáček nové způsoby, jak dále rozvíjet svou skladatelskou metodu vycházející z mluveného projevu. Osud i Výlety páně Broučkovy tak tvoří spojnici mezi Její pastorkyní a autorovými vrcholnými pozdními operami. Není divu, že toto období hledání patří k Janáčkovým nejzajímavějším tvůrčím, ale i osobním životním etapám. Kniha přináší mnoho informací o skladatelových inspiracích, zvažovaných námětech ke zhudebnění, jeho spolupráci s literáty, setkáních s hudebními díly, která mu otevřela oči, a otevírá také mnoho dalších témat.

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Lelkek királysága 1: Kingdom of Souls - Lelkek királysága
A varázslatnak ára van
- ha hajlandó vagy megfizetni.
A hatalmas boszorkánydoktorokból álló családba született Arrah saját varázserőre vágyakozik. Ám évről évre sikertelenül próbálja előhívni ősi hatalmát, míg nagyravágyó anyja egyre növekvő rosszallással figyeli.
Csak egyetlen dolog van, amit Arrah még nem próbált ki, a halálos utolsó lehetőség: elcserélheti a rá kiszabott idő egy részét
néhány mágiamorzsára. Ám egy napon elkezdenek eltűnni a Királyság gyermekei, és Arrah kétségbeesetten kutat a felelős után.
Ám valami sokkal rosszabbat fedez fel. A régóta fogságban tartott Démonkirály ébredezik. És ha felemelkedik, lelkekre fog éhezni,
és éhsége térdre fogja kényszeríteni a világot... hacsak Arrah nem fizeti meg az őt megállító mágia árát.
Afrikai mitológiából merítő sodró és titokzatos történet.

Yet as she learns more about the war to possess the bridge, Lara's feelings for Aren transform from hostility to passion.
And she faces a terrible dilemma:
Which kingdom to save, and which to destroy . . .

Pride and Prejudice and the City
From the New York Times bestselling coauthor of Five Feet Apart and She Gets the Girl comes a fresh and inventive sapphic romantic comedy that's What If It's Us meets Bridgerton. What if you found a once-in-a-lifetime love...just not in your lifetime? Seventeen-year-old Audrey Cameron has lost her spark. After an embarrassing run-in with her ex-boyfriend, she's told that she needs to get back out there and take risks.
What she doesn't expect is to be transported to Regency England! Lucy Sinclair has her own problems - stifled by her father and trying to avoid an unwanted marriage proposal - when Audrey lands into her life, claiming to be from two hundred years in the future, it's a welcome distraction. While the girls try to understand what's happening and how to send Audrey home, their sparks make a comeback in a most unexpected way - instead of falling for their suitors and the happily-ever-afters everyone expects of them, they fall for each other. Can their love story survive impossible circumstances? A swoony time-travelling YA romance set in the regency era about finding your spark - a lesbian Jane Austen story.
Nick and Charlie
A short novella based on the beloved characters from the graphic novel Heartstopper and Alice Oseman's debut novel Solitaire, which was praised as 'The Catcher in the Rye for the digital age' by The Times.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?
CHARLIE: "I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me."
NICK: "Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that's fine with us."
Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple - that they're inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone's asking if they're staying together, which is a stupid question - they're 'Nick and Charlie' for God's sake!
But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

A new Percy Jackson World novel featuring fan-favourite characters, Nico and Will!

As the son of Hades, Nico di Angelo been through so much, from the premature deaths of his mother and sister, to being outed against his will, to losing his friend Jason during the trials of Apollo. But there is a ray of sunshine in his life—literally: his boyfriend, Will Solace, the son of Apollo. Together the two demigods can overcome any obstacle or foe. At least, that's been the case so far . . .
Now Nico is being plagued by a voice calling out to him from Tartarus, the lowest part of the Underworld. He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with.
But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.
