In the brief golden years of King Edward VII's reign, Rosie McCosh and her three very different sisters are growing up in an eccentric household in Kent, with their neighbours the Pitt boys on one side and the Pendennis boys on the other.

When the boys end up scattered along the Western Front, Rosie faces the challenges of life for those left behind. Confused by her love for two young men - one an infantry soldier and one a flying ace - she has to navigate her way through extraordinary times. Can she, and her sisters, build new lives out of the opportunities and devastations that follow the Great War? Louis de Bernieres' magnificent and moving novel follows the lives of an unforgettable cast of characters as they strike out to seek what happiness can be built from the ruins of the old world.

Basquiat x Warhol
- Published to accompany an exhibition at Fondation Louis Vuitton from 5 April to 28 August 2023
- The collaboration between the two artists, legends of the New York avant-garde, through more than a hundred of their joint works
In the spring of 2023, Fondation Louis Vuitton will be holding Basquiat x Warhol... Painting 4 hands, the most important exhibition ever devoted to the collaborative work of these two artists. The exhibition will feature more than 100 jointly signed paintings, in addition to individual works by Basquiat and Warhol, and works by other major artists (Keith Haring, Jenny Holzer, Kenny Scharf, etc.) in order to recreate the New York downtown art scene of the 1980s.
From 1984 to 1985, Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988) and Andy Warhol (1928–1987) jointly produced about 160 paintings, some of the largest in their respective careers. A genuine artistic dialogue of style and form had developed between them that dealt equally well with crucial issues such as the integration of the African-American community into the narrative of North America, a continent where Warhol was a major manufacturer of icons.

Kráľovná šampanského
Skutočný príbeh zakladateľky svetoznámej vinárskej značky
Úžasný historický príbeh inšpirovaný životom Nicole Clicquotovej. Ženy, ktorá sa rozhodla ísť vlastnou cestou a vybudovala najznámejšiu značku šampanského vo svete.
Francúzsko, 1805. Pre vdovu Nicole Clicquotovú bola starostlivosť o vinohrady zdedené po manželovi jediná šanca ako neprísť o strechu nad hlavou a zabezpečiť dcérku do budúcnosti. Nevšímala si reči neprajníkov, že vo vinárskom podnikaní ženy nemajú miesto. Jedného dňa sa nechtiac dozvie, aké šokujúce klebety kolujú o jej manželovi. Vraj jeho smrť je spojená so strašným tajomstvom, ktoré je hanbou aj pre Nicole. Odrazu sa proti nej spojí celé mesto.
Zlomená Nicole, ktorej klebety pošpinili meno, sa obráti na dlhoročného priateľa svojho manžela, obchodného zástupcu Louisa. Zdá sa, že jeho milý úsmev a láskavé rady jej pomôžu vyrovnať sa s problémami. Keď spolu ochutnajú vynikajúci ročník jej „kométového“ vína, uverí, že sa jej podarí nakloniť si šťastenu na svoju stranu. Obchod s vínom je však tvrdý, obzvlášť pre ženu v tých časoch. Než sa Nicole zapíše do histórie vinárstva, prejde ešte veľmi tŕnistú cestu.

Vlny
Neustále sa tvorím a pretváram.
Román Vlny, ktorý prvýkrát vyšiel v roku 1931, patrí medzi najvýraznejšie experimentálne texty Virginie Woolfovej. Vlny sú polyfonickou fúziou vnútorných monológov šiestich hlavných postáv Bernarda, Susan, Rhody, Louisa, Jinny a Nevilla. Spoznávame ich útržkovite v intimite ich vnútorných monológov a sledujeme ich od detských čias, cez spoločné školské roky až po úlomky z obdobia ich stredného veku. Hoci pochádzajú z rôznych prostredí a majú veľmi odlišné osobnosti, jednako sa celý život schádzajú, rozchádzajú, pozorujú a porovnávajú. Veľmi dôležitou je v texte tiež postava Percivala, ktorý nikdy neprehovorí, ale ktorého prítomnosť má na všetkých šiestich silný vplyv.
Experimentálna forma a naoko chaotické striedanie hlasov ponúkajú len krehké oporné body. Čitateľ sa stráca pod rozčerenou hladinou textu, aby sa o pár strán vynoril v rytmickom unášaní vĺn života. Tie sa tvoria, pretvárajú, miznú, aby sa v okamihu znova vytvorili, pretvorili a opäť zmizli. Virginii Woolfovej sa tak podarilo zachytiť nielen prchavosť okamihu, ale aj pravidelný rytmus a prúdenie plynúceho času.

With epic personal tangents and hilarious asides, the Keys take you on an illuminating journey through all facets of comedy from the stock characters of commedia del arte in the 16th century, to the rise of vaudeville and burlesque, the golden age of television comedy, the influence of the most well-known comedy schools, and the ascension of comedy films and TV specials—all the way through to a look at the future of sketch on social media platforms. Along the way, we hear tales of Keegan's childhood, his comedy influences, and the vicissitudes of his career path. As the New York Times said in its review of their podcast, "this comedy nerd history is filtered through memoir, with Key relating stories of his budding fandom, training and rise from improv comic to television sketch artist."
Part memoir, part masterclass, and hilariously embellished with priceless commentary, The History of Sketch Comedy highlights the essential building blocks of sketch comedy while interweaving Keegan's personal career journey and the influence of his comedy heroes.

As co-writer Elle Key likes to say, "If Keegan-Michael Key was a guest lecturer at NYU teaching a course called 'The History of Sketch Comedy,' it would be a very popular class."

A Merry Christmas
Louisa May Alcott's enchanting Christmas stories, presented in a beautiful hardcover edition perfect for giving as a gift.
A Merry Christmas collects the best holiday stories of Louisa May Alcott, from the yuletide festivities of Marmee and her 'little women' to the moving 'What Love Can Do'. Deeply influenced by real-life events, including characters based on Alcott's family members and drawing from her experiences participating in the suffrage and abolitionist movements, these stories have the authentic texture and detail of Christmas in nineteenth-century America.
Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832. Her family later moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where Alcott was influenced by their neighbours Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Henry David Thoreau. At a young age, Louisa took on some of the family's financial burdens, working as a domestic, a teacher, and a writer. In 1868 and 1869, fame and fortune came with the publication of Little Women. The author of many novels and an active campaigner for temperance and women's suffrage, Alcott died in 1888.
Avocado Anxiety
The food stories behind your favourite fruits and vegetables.
Have you ever wondered who picked your Fairtrade banana? Or where all the wonky carrots go? How far do you think your green beans travelled to get to your plate? Above all, how do we stop worrying about our food choices and start making decisions that make a difference?
In an effort to make sense of the complex food system we are all part of, Louise Gray decides to track the stories of our five-a-day, from farm to fruit bowl, and discover the impact that growing fruits and vegetables has on the planet. Through visits to farms, interviews with scientists and trying to grow her own, she digs up the dirt behind organic potatoes, greenhouse tomatoes and a glut of courgettes.
In each chapter, Louise answers a question about a familiar item in our shopping basket. Is plant protein as good as meat? Is foraged food more nutritious? Could bees be the answer to using fewer chemicals? Are digital apps the key to reducing food waste? Is gardening good for mental health? And is the symbol of clean eating, the avocado, fuelling the climate crisis?
As pressure grows via social media to post pictures of food that ticks all the boxes in terms of health and the environment, these food stories from the author of the award-winning The Ethical Carnivore are also a personal story of motherhood and the realisation that nothing is ever perfect.
