Slough House
Slough House - the crumbling office building to which failed spies, the 'slow horses', are banished - has been wiped from secret service records.
Reeling from recent losses in their ranks, the slow horses are worried they've been pushed further into the cold, and fatal accidents keep happening.
With a new populist movement taking a grip on London's streets, the aftermath of a blunder by the Russian secret service that left a British citizen dead, and the old order ensuring that everything's for sale to the highest bidder, the world's an uncomfortable place for those deemed surplus to requirements. The wise move would be to find a safe place and wait for the troubles to pass.
But the slow horses aren't famed for making wise decisions.

Tiszta szándékkal - Pályakép - versekben 1954-2022
Sose tartoztam szekértáborokhoz, az irodalmi életben tehát nagyon hamar a senki földjén találtam magam. A közéletben viszont nyakig benne voltam "eleitől fogva", a közösség volt az éltető közegem. Ez a vaskos kötet, amelyben az életem, valamint eszmei és művészi fejlődésem versekben mutatkozik meg, igazolhatja ezt. Hajdan nagy volt az olvasótáborom, de talán most sem vagyok még "leírva": a világhálón sok-sok versem kering, javarészt ismeretleneknek köszönhetően. Hálás vagyok nekik, de arra kérem oket, hogy csakis a köteteimből merítkezzenek, ne az internetről, mert ott olykor döbbenten olvasok idegen sorokat a nevem alatt. Dilettáns klapanciákat és szépséges költeményeket
egyaránt. Lehet, hogy szándékosan akarnak lejáratni egyesek - vagy idegen tollakkal ékeskedőnek feltüntetni.
Ezért kérem: csakis kötetből!
Ebből például.

Šlabikár šťastia 3
Kto učí, učí sa. Ďakujme za deti, nie sú samozrejmosťou, ale darom. Prišli nás liečiť a ukazovať nám, kde máme zápal.
Tretí diel Šlabikára šťastia nie je určený iba pre rodičov, ktorí hľadajú spôsob, akou formou dať svojim potomkom to najlepšie, ale aj pre duše, ktoré chcú pochopiť, prečo sú v nich strachy, konajú ako konajú, či sa im v niečom nedarí. Kľúč k bôľom dneška sa totiž nachádza v detstve, v spôsobe, ako k nám bolo pristupované, čo sme videli, cítili a zažili od momentu splodenia až po dospievanie.
Psychologický prieskum ukázal, že iba desať percent ľudí sa v detstve môže rozvíjať slobodne a bez utláčania. Na jednu pochvalu pripadá až desať pokarhaní alebo dokonca trestov. Následkom týchto raných frustrácií, duševných poranení a sklamaní sme menej istí, bojazlivejší, plní strachov. Je to záležitosť zle určenej vlastnej ceny. Takýmto ľuďom chýba sebavedomie, vnútorná vyrovnanosť, predpoklad umenia byť šťastný.
Dieťaťu nemôžete dať niečo, čo vo vás nie je. – Neustále kritizovanie je priznaním sa, ako veľmi ste so sebou nespokojní, rovnako ako krik je prejav vašej vnútornej bolesti a bezmocnosti. – Detská duša je ako savana. Stačí jedna veta a zapálite ju. – Nerobte za dieťa nič, čo dokáže spraviť samo. Oslabíte ho. – Každé dieťa má mocné Ja a čím viac sa ho budeme pokúšať zlomiť, tým dlhšie sa bude neskôr v dospelosti hľadať. – Ľudia druhým často vyčítajú to, čo sami v sebe nemajú spracované. – Ako si matka cení samú seba, s toľkou dávkou láskavosti bude pristupovať aj k svojej dcére. Neraz sa teda emocionálna uzavretosť matky prenesie na dcéru a vírus neprijatia sa ako ženy sa bude šíriť ďalej. – Kričiaci a rozkazovačný otec sa často prekopíruje do syna, ktorý sa mu časom začne vzpierať. Po rokoch bude proti sebe stáť negativita proti negativite a chybný model bude túžiť po zharmonizovaní. Tak sa čistí svet. Cez nás. Človek čistí človeka, je to homeopatia účinkujúca cez vzťahy. – Ak ste zvyknutí neustále viniť iných, budú to robiť aj vaše deti. Keď viete odpúšťať, budú vedieť odpúšťať aj duše, ktoré vychováte. – Deti nemôžete nútiť, aby prevzali vaše hodnoty. Ony si od vás zoberú iba to, čo sa im bude hodiť v ich životnom poslaní. – Nedá sa utlačovať iných bez toho, aby sme neutlačovali aj samých seba. – Ak si nebudú rodičia pred deťmi ďakovať a žiť vo vzájomnej úcte, aj deti budú vo svojich neskorších partnerských vzťahoch neláskavé. – Kto nemá úctu k rodičom, bude neúctivý aj k svojmu partnerovi. – Deti dôverujú rodičom. Veria, že to, čo robia, je správne a to najlepšie. V tom, ako rozprávajú, správajú sa, prejavujú, jedným slovom povedané „žijú“, vidia hlavný model bytia aj pre seba. – Predošlé generácie do nás vštepili nákazlivý sklon myslieť si, že nemáme žiadnu hodnotu a že sme slabí. Preto vo väčšine z nás drieme trojročné dieťa, ktoré sa bojí a chce iba trochu lásky. – Nevytvárajte hranice pre deti, ale s deťmi. Ak nebudete počúvať, čo vám dieťa vraví, a pýtať sa na jeho pocity, dojmy, pomyslí si: „Nezáleží im na mne. Vôbec ich nezaujíma, čo si o tejto veci myslím, čo prežívam, ako sa cítim. Som nič, nie som tu potrebné.“ – Tým, čo sa deje vo vás, rezonujú aj vaše deti. Takže ak sa bojí matka, rodí sa neistota i v deťoch. Do osemnástich rokov sú energetickými zrkadlami rodičov, veľa detských chorôb odráža pnutie v mame či otcovi. Dieťa má problém s trávením? Niektorý rodič nevie niečo „prežuť“. Dieťa má ekzém? Jeho otec možno nevie hovoriť o veciach otvorene a všetko, čo v sebe dusí, sa dostáva von cez pokožku detí. Dieťa neustále kašle a má problémy s dýchacími cestami? Možnože jeho mamu niečo dusí, a tak sa to čistí cez dieťa, lebo kašeľ je spôsob, ako sa telo dokáže zbavovať škodlivého. – Vysvetľujte deťom chod vecí, ale nemajte pri tom hnev či nadradenosť v hlase. Každé dieťa niekde v kútiku srdca tuší, že máte pravdu a chcete mu dobre. Kým vyrastú, veľakrát dôjde na slová, čo im budú proti srsti. No ak sa s nimi budete rozprávať s úctou, láskavo a pristupovať k nim ako k seberovným ľudským bytostiam,

Why We Die
A major exploration of the science of why and how we age and die - from a Nobel Prize-winning biologist and former president of the Royal Society.
We are living through a revolution in biology. Giant strides are being made in our understanding of why we age and die, and why some species live longer than others. Immortality, once a faint hope, has never been more within our grasp.
Here, Nobel Prize-winning biologist Venki Ramakrishnan transforms our understanding of why we die - and whether we can do anything about it. Examining recent scientific breakthroughs, he shows how cutting edge efforts to extend lifespan by altering our natural biology raise profound questions. Although we might not like it, does death serve a necessary biological purpose? What are the social and ethical costs of attempting to live forever? And how can we increase our chances of living long, healthy and fulfilled lives? As science advances, we have much to gain. But might we also have much to lose?
Why We Die is a narrative of uncommon insight and beauty from one of our leading public intellectuals.

Deciding to seize this second chance, Simon sets off on a bike ride from Bristol to Bordeaux with Ian in tow, on the very same route they covered as teenagers in pursuit of love.
But although they now have better bikes, more acceptable haircuts, and Google Maps, some things never change, and it soon becomes clear that this trip will have even more bumps in the road than the first . . .
Remembering Peasants
A way of life that once encompassed most of humanity is vanishing in one of the greatest transformations of our time: the eclipse of the rural world by the urban.
In this new history of peasantry, Patrick Joyce tells the story of this lost world and its people. In contrast to the usual insulting stereotypes, we discover a rich and complex culture: traditions, songs, celebrations and revolts, across Europe from the plains of Poland to the farmsteads and villages of Italy and Ireland, through the nineteenth century to the present day. Into this passionate history, written with exquisite care, Joyce weaves remarkable individual stories, including those of his own Irish family, and looks at how peasant life has been remembered - and misremembered - in contemporary culture.
This is a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented in human history. Yet for Joyce, we are all the children of peasants, who must respect the experience of our ancestors. This is particularly pressing when our knowledge of the land is being lost to climate crisis and the rise of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely and vital, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on our history and our future remains profoundly relevant.

The Fox Wife
Some people think foxes go around collecting qi, or life force, but nothing could be further than the truth. We are living creatures, just like you, only usually better looking . . .
Manchuria, 1908: A young woman is found frozen in the snow. Her death is clouded by rumours of foxes, believed to lure people into peril by transforming into beautiful women and men. Bao, a detective with a reputation for sniffing out the truth, is hired to uncover the dead woman's identity. Since childhood, Bao has been intrigued by the fox gods, yet they've remained tantalizingly out of reach. Until, perhaps, now.
Snow is a creature of many secrets, but most of all, she's a mother seeking vengeance. Hunting a murderer, the trail will take her from northern China to Japan, with Bao following doggedly behind. And as their paths draw ever closer together, both Snow and Bao will encounter old friends and new foes, even as more deaths occur.
Epic in scope and full of singular, unforgettable characters, The Fox Wife is a stunning novel about old loves and second chances, the depth of maternal bonds, and ancient folktales that may very well be true.

Když detektivu Robertu Hunterovi ze Speciální sekce vražd losangeleské policie zavolá anonym, aby se podíval na jednu webovou stránku, vypadá to jako podivný žert. Jenže online vysílaný přenos, určený jen Hunterovým očím, zachycuje popravu neznámé spoutané oběti.

Ovšem tenhle zabiják není žádný amatér a dokonale se připravil, než s policií rozehrál hru „chyť mě, než znovu zabiju“.

Príbeh neobyčajnej rodiny z horiaceho domu, plný lásky, odvahy a odhodlania, otvorený pre všetkých, ktorým záleží na budúcnosti našej planéty a neboja sa začať od seba.
Keď mala klimatická aktivistka Greta Thunberg jedenásť rokov, spolu so svojimi rodičmi a mladšou sestrou prežívali obrovskú krízu. Greta prestala jesť, prestala rozprávať a žiadne volanie o pomoc nepomáhalo. Pri zúfalom hľadaní riešenia si uvedomili, že hlavným dôvodom jej nepokoja môže byť práve rastúce riziko klimatickej katastrofy.
Scény zo srdca, ktoré zaznamenala Gretina matka, slávna švédska operná speváčka Malena Ernman, sú inšpiratívnym svedectvom o tom, ako jej rodina začala zápasiť nielen s osobnými, ale aj globálnymi problémami. Prevádzajú nás celou kľukatou cestou od prijatia diagnóz svojich dvoch dcér až po Gretino rozhodnutie začať svoj školský štrajk za klímu, ktorý vyvolal obrovský ohlas po celom svete.
