Forms of Enchantment
An anthology of compelling essays by Marina Warner, one of our pre-eminent writers and critics.
Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists – with a notable focus on the inner lives of women – through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas.
Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, the author’s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical social function – a principle that runs through these writings to give the collection a quality that is polemical as well as coherent. With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout, Marina Warner investigates how artists noted for their treatment of disturbing, uncanny material have reached beyond the visible, to express interior states. Truly inspiring, her writing unites the imagination of artist, writer and reader, creating a reading experience parallel to the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art.
What Hunts Inside the Shadows
Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses and From Blood and Ash.
Book two in the Of Flesh & Bone series!
Once, I fell in love with a man who deceived me.
For weeks, he stood by my side, twisting his words into pretty half-truths. He enraptured me with his smooth temptation, leaving no corner of my being untouched. He consumed my mind and my body, then finally claimed my heart for himself. But Caelum's true identity is terrifying enough to bring me to my knees.
Then, I discovered the truth of who he is.
Caldris is whispered in the Nothrek wind. The legend we only speak of with hushed words, in shuttered rooms, for fear of drawing his wrath once again. His intentions are a mystery, his desires impure, and he seeks to shackle me to his side for all eternity. With the Wild Hunt as our guard, he points us back to where it all began: the village of Mistfell and the boundary where the Veil once shimmered in the wind.
Now, another secret crouches, poised to change everything.
The Mist Guard have been sworn to keep us from crossing into Alfheimr, and from treading Faerie soil, even if innocents must pay with their lives. They have orders to resurrect Mistfell's shimmering barrier, but, once again, there's a greater cost than what has been revealed. Once, the people of Northrek blamed me when the Veil fell.
Soon, they'll want me to pay the price the magic requires.
Berlin
The Sunday Times-bestselling author of Dresden returns with a monumental biography of the city that defined the twentieth century - Berlin
Throughout the twentieth century, Berlin stood at the centre of a convulsing world. This history is often viewed as separate acts: the suffering of the First World War, the cosmopolitan city of science, culture and sexual freedom Berlin became, steep economic plunges, the rise of the Nazis, the destruction of the Second World War, the psychosis of genocide, and a city rent in two by competing ideologies. But people do not live their lives in fixed eras. An epoch ends, yet the people continue - or try to continue - much as they did before. Berlin tells the story of the city as seen through the eyes not of its rulers, but of those who walked its streets.
In this magisterial biography of a city and its inhabitants, bestselling historian Sinclair McKay sheds new light on well-known characters - from idealistic scientist Albert Einstein to Nazi architect Albert Speer - and draws on never-before-seen first-person accounts to introduce us to people of all walks of Berlin life. For example, we meet office worker Mechtild Evers, who in her efforts to escape an oncoming army runs into even more appalling jeopardy, and Reinhart Cruger, a 12-year-old boy in 1941 who witnesses with horror the Gestapo coming for each of his Jewish neighbours in turn. Ever a city of curious contrasts, moments of unbelievable darkness give way to a wry Berliner humour - from banned perms to the often ridiculous tit-for-tat between East and West Berlin - and moments of joyous hope - like forced labourers at a jam factory warmly welcoming their Soviet liberators.
How did those ideologies - fascism and communism - come to flower so fully here? And how did their repercussions continue to be felt throughout Europe and the West right up until that extraordinary night in the autumn of 1989 when the Wall - that final expression of totalitarian oppression - was at last breached? You cannot understand the twentieth century without understanding Berlin; and you cannot understand Berlin without understanding the experiences of its people. Drawing on a staggering breadth of culture - from art to film, opera to literature, science to architecture - McKay's latest masterpiece shows us this hypnotic city as never before.
Making Money
The Discworld is very much like our own – if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is...
Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one.
The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it’s time for a change of management.
There are a few problems that may arise with the job . . . The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire – there's something nameless in the cellar and it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss. Meanwhile, people actually want to know where the money’s gone. It's a job for life.
But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, that life is not necessarily a long one.
He’s about to be exposed as a fraud, but if he’s lucky the Assassins’ Guild might get him first. In fact, a lot of people want him dead. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies.
Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies.
Mozaika slovenskej medicíny a mosaic of slovak medicine
Starajú sa lekári o svoje zdravie? Vedia relaxovať, alebo je ich život natoľko spätý s povolaním, že doslova žijú v nemocnici? Majú nejaké koníčky? Považujú svoje povolanie za poslanie? Aj takéto otázky kládli dvaja novinári Dagmar Krištofičová a Gus
tav Bartovic šestnástim slovenským lekárom. Odpovede môžu čitatelia nájsť v dvojjazyčnej (slovensko-anglickej) knižke Mozaika slovenskej medicíny, s podtitulom Rozhovory s lekármi.
Publikácia vznikla na podnet Slovenskej asociácie farmaceutických sp
oločností orientovaných na výskum a vývoj (SAFS) možno aj preto, že skutočné osobnosti sú v súčasnosti mnohokrát nepoznané. Je určená nielen tým, ktorí sa zaujímajú o medicínu a osobnosti, ktoré v nej na Slovensku pôsobia, ale aj všetkým tým, ktorí c
hcú vo svojom živote dosiahnuť určité méty. Určite však poteší všetkých, ktorí sa chcú dozvedieť viac a spoznať nielen odborný, ale aj ľudský rozmer týchto slovenských lekárov.
Vzhľadom na obmedzený rozsah publikácie sa do nej vošiel iba zlomok osobn
ostí slovenskej medicíny, avšak vydavateľ (SAFS) a autori rozhovorov by ju radi venovali všetkým tým, ktorí si za svoju prácu zvolili službu ľuďom.
Viac o svojom živote prezrádzajú profesori Ján Breza, Ján Danko, Svetozár Dluholucký, Ivan Ďuriš, Vlad
imír Krčméry, Peter Krištúfek, Ján Murín, Vladimír Novotný, Juraj Payer, Elena Tóthová, Ján Štencl, Pavel Traubner, Ladislav Chovan a doktori Eva Siracká, Danica Caisová-Škultétyová a Zuzana Némethyová.
Celý výnos z predaja venuje vydavateľ Detskému
hospicu Plamienok.
Všetky rozhovory autori vytvorili špeciálne pre potreby tejto publikácie, pričom svoje pocity z práce na knižke zhrnuli nasledovne:Stretnutia s ľuďmi, ktorí majú čo povedať, odovzdať sú na žurnalistickej práci tie najkrajšie, pov
zbudzujúce a najmä obohacujúce. A tieto rozhovory boli z tých, ktoré potešili, mimoriadne zaujímavé, ľudské, prekvapujúce otvorenosťou a ochotou hovoriť o svojom povolaní aj živote. Máte pri nich ten skvelý pocit, že slovenské zdravotníctvo má svojic
h hrdinov a priekopníkov, je na vysokej profesionálnej úrovni a z ľudí sa nestratila "človečina". Práve naopak, toto povolanie, ktoré je zároveň aj ich vášňou, ich formuje aj po tej ľudskej stránke, uviedla Dagmar Krištofičová.Tešil som sa na tieto r
ozhovory, pretože keď ma pred ôsmimi rokmi lekári a vôbec všetci pracovníci z ústavu, ktorý má v tejto knihe dvoch zástupcov, odohnali z predsiene márnice, videl som, v akých podmienkach slovenská medicína je a čo tí ľudia dokážu. Robia to ďalej, hoc
i už úrad tento ústav zrušil, a rovnako to robia aj ďalší skvelí profesionáli, ku ktorým ma zaviedla cesta za textami pre túto knižku.
S múdrosťou a láskavou zaťatosťou nás vracajú životu, niektorým umožnili zostať tu dlhšie, iným zasa dali šancu, k
torú nemali - prísť na tento svet. Zaľudňujú ho, počlovečujú vo všetkých významoch týchto dvoch slov, dodal Gustav Bartovic.Z krstu knihy...

The Story Smuggler
'Some smuggle cigarettes, others alcohol - or weapons.
Our contraband, being invisible, is more dangerous.
Our contraband is undetectable by scanners.
What we carry as concealed excess baggage is stories.'
In this exquisite literary gem, Georgi Gospodinov, winner of the International Booker Prize, invites the reader on a winding journey through his own memories.
He shows us a childhood under Communism, a particularly Bulgarian variety of melancholy, the freedom and thrills found in reading and writing, and the coming of age of one extraordinary writer.
Ultimately, this profound, playful and deeply moving autobiographical text offers resounding proof of the power and importance of storytelling.

The Song of Significance
The workplace has undergone a massive shift. Remote work and economic instability have depressed innovation and left us disconnected and disengaged. Paychecks no longer buy loyalty, happiness, and effort. Quiet quitting runs rampant, and people show up without truly showing up. Alarmed managers are doubling down on keystroke surveillance, productivity tracking and back-to-the-office mandates, when what they should be doing is the opposite - affording employees the dignity necessary to inject purpose and motivation into their work.
In The Song of Significance, legendary author and business thinker Seth Godin posits a new view of what industry leaders must do now. If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans. The choice is simple: either keep treating your people as disposable and join in the AI-fueled race to the bottom, or build a significant organization that enrolls, empowers, and trusts employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they're working.

Gay Best Friend
He's always been the token gay best friend. Now, stuck between a warring bride and groom hurtling toward their one perfect day, he's finally ready to focus on something new: himself.
Domenic Marino has become an expert at code-switching between the hypermasculine and ultrafeminine worlds of his two soon-to-be-wed best friends. But this summer-reeling from his own failed engagement and tasked with attending their bachelor and bachelorette parties-he's anxious over having to play both sides.
The pressure is on. The bride wants Dom to keep things clean. The groom wants Dom to "let loose" with the guys. And Dom just wants to get out of this whole mess with his friendships intact.
But once the rowdy groomsmen show up at the beach house-including a surprise visit from the groom's old frat brother, handsome and charming PGA star Bucky Graham-chaos (and unexpected romance) quickly ensues. By the time Dom returns for the bachelorette party, he's accumulated a laundry list of secrets that threaten to destroy everything-from the wedding, to Bucky's career, to the one thing Dom hasn't been paying nearly enough attention to lately: his own life.
Unravel Me
In the ice-hockey romance that has taken TikTok by storm, the star goalie discovers the family he’s always wanted when he falls in love with a single mother.
When it comes to dating, Adam Lockwood wouldn’t know luck if it hit him in the face. After an epic failure of a relationship and a string of dates gone wrong, the thought of being vulnerable with someone is terrifying – most people only see him as a professional athlete. But when his dog runs down Rosie, a beautiful woman with a blush as pink as her hair, she doesn’t seem to have a clue who he is, and Adam seizes the opportunity for what it is: a chance to be himself.
Rosie Wells has her hands full as a single mother and fourth-year veterinarian student, and she certainly wouldn’t know a hockey player if she ran into one. She doesn’t have time to date, and she’s fiercely protective of her little family. But when a chance encounter leads her to Adam, she knows he’s worth risking her heart.
The only problem? Adam is used to wearing a mask – he’s a goalie, after all. And as he holds onto a secret that threatens to unravel him and destroy his new family, he’s at risk of losing more than ever before.
The Talk
A pressing graphic memoir on 'the talk' in which parents must break it to Black children that the world hates them, from the only winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning
Darrin Bell was six years old when he had The Talk: his mother told him he couldn't have a realistic water gun. She said she feared for his safety, that police tend to think of little Black boys as older and less innocent than they really are.
Through evocative illustrations and sharp humour, Bell examines how The Talk shaped intimate and public moments from childhood to adulthood. While coming of age in Los Angeles - and finding a voice through cartooning - Bell becomes painfully aware of being regarded as dangerous by white teachers, neighbours and police officers, and thus of his mortality. Drawing attention to the brutal murders of African Americans, and showcasing revealing insights and cartoons along the way, he brings us up to the moment of reckoning when people took to the streets protesting the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
And now Bell must decide whether he and his own six-year-old son are ready to have The Talk.

Because in one night of madness, on a work trip far from home, she puts all this at risk. And suddenly her dream life becomes a living nightmare when the married man she spent one night with tells her he wants a serious relationship with her. And that he won't leave her or her precious family alone until she agrees.
There seems to be only one way out.
And it involves murder...
