Shakespeare's Sisters
This remarkable work about women writers in the English Renaissance explodes our notion of the Shakespearean period by drawing us into the lives of four women who were committed to their craft long before there was any possibility of 'a room of one's own.'
In an innovative and engaging narrative of everyday life in Shakespeare's England, Ramie Targoff carries us from the sumptuous coronation of Queen Elizabeth in the mid-16th century into the private lives of four women writers working at a time when women were legally the property of men. Some readers may have heard of Mary Sidney, accomplished poet and sister of the famous Sir Philip Sidney, but few will have heard of Aemilia Lanyer, the first woman in the 17th century to publish a book of original poetry, which offered a feminist take on the crucifixion, or Elizabeth Cary, who published the first original play by a woman, about the plight of the Jewish princess Mariam. Then there was Anne Clifford, a lifelong diarist, who fought for decades against a patriarchy that tried to rob her of her land in one of England's most infamous inheritance battles.
These women had husbands and children to care for and little support for their art, yet against all odds they defined themselves as writers, finding rooms of their own where doors had been shut for centuries.
Targoff flings them open to uncover the treasures left by these extraordinary women; in the process, she helps us see the Renaissance in a fresh light, creating a richer understanding of history and offering a much-needed female perspective on life in Shakespeare's day.

Kníhkupkyňa z Paríža
Príbeh ženy, ktorá zmenila svet literatúry
V roku 1919 si mladá Američanka Sylvia Beachová otvorí na tichej ulici v Paríži kníhkupectvo Shakespeare & Company, ktoré navždy zmení smerovanie svetovej literatúry. Nájdu u nej druhý domov mnohí významní spisovatelia zo stratenej generácie, ako napr. Ernest Hemingway či Gertrude Steinová, vznikajú tu dôležité literárne spojenectvá. Hlboké priateľstvo sa vytvorí aj medzi ňou a írskym spisovateľom Jamesom Joyceom. Keď zakážu Joyceov kontroverzný modernistický román Odysseus, práve ona mu ho pomôže vydať pod záštitou Shakespeare & Company.
Úspech Joyceovho románu však ohrozí budúcnosť jej milovaného kníhkupectva. Celý svet začína sužovať hospodárska kríza a mnoho Američanov sa rozhodne opustiť Paríž a vrátiť sa domov. Sylviu zasiahne osobná i finančná kríza, jej priateľstvá sú podrobené tvrdej skúške. Hoci odjakživa verila v tvorivú silu kníh a literatúry, teraz začína pochybovať, či kníhkupectvo bolo jej najšťastnejší životný krok.
Z anglického originálu The Paris Bookseller (BERKLEY, New York 2022) preložila Tamara Chovanová.

Loveless
With special bonus content – a brand new story by Alice Oseman
WINNER OF THE YA BOOK PRIZE 2021
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The fourth novel from the phenomenally talented Alice Oseman, author of Solitaire and the graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series.
It was all sinking in. I’d never had a crush on anyone. No boys, no girls, not a single person I had ever met. What did that mean?
Georgia has never been in love, never kissed anyone, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day.
As she starts university with her best friends, Pip and Jason, in a whole new town far from home, Georgia’s ready to find romance, and with her outgoing roommate on her side and a place in the Shakespeare Society, her ‘teenage dream’ is in sight.
But when her romance plan wreaks havoc amongst her friends, Georgia ends up in her own comedy of errors, and she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.
Is she destined to remain loveless? Or has she been looking for the wrong thing all along?
This wise, warm and witty story of identity and self-acceptance sees Alice Oseman on towering form as Georgia and her friends discover that true love isn’t limited to romance.

That Self-Same Metal
Swashbuckling, romantic, and full of the sights and sounds of Shakespeare’s London, this sweeping YA fantasy trilogy debut is perfect for fans of Holly Black, Leigh Bardugo and J. Elle.
Joan touched her fingers to the blade, felt the metal sing to her. It whispered its secrets . . .
Sixteen-year-old Joan Sands is a gifted craftswoman and an exceptional swordsmith.
So skilled is her technique that she is one of very few women employed at the Globe Theatre, directing William Shakespeare and his troupe of actors in fierce scenes of combat. Of course, it helps that Joan is blessed with the power to control metal, thanks to Ogun, head deity of all Orishas.
But when a pact between the ancient Yoruba spirits and Fae is broken, only she can save the streets of London from peril. Joan must find a way to defeat them in battle by herself . . .
Okay, perhaps her twin brother James, blessed with gifts from Oya, can be of some help! And, despite the simmering tensions of a love triangle between herself, Rose, and Nick, Joan has a community of people to protect and who will protect her in return.
