Diktátorova múza
Když německá filmová historička Sigrun Meierová v roce 2005 objeví vystřižené a nikdy nezveřejněné záběry, je to začátek cesty k dlouho pohřbenému tajemství, v němž hlavní roli sehrála sama Leni Riefenstahlová.
Píše se rok 1933 a Evropa tají dech. Hitler upevňuje svoji moc a začínají přípravy na berlínskou olympiádu. Leni Riefenstahlovou – filmovou průkopnici a svobodomyslnou hvězdu Třetí říše – sám Hitler pověřil úkolem zachytit olympijské hry na filmový pás. Leni však brzy zjistí, že přízeň mocných je vrtkavá a životem si nemohou být jisti ani ti nejbližší.
Kim Newlands, anglický atlet podporovaný Britskou unií fašistů, je celým srdcem oddaný své povrchní přítelkyni z vyšší společnosti Connie. Jeho touha získat olympijské zlato si však žádá svou daň a Kim je nucen zapřít, kým ve skutečnosti je.
Velšského komunistu Aluna Pryce zase pověřili, aby britské fašisty infiltroval. Když se spřátelí s Kimem a Connií, musí se sám rozhodnout, zda účel skutečně světí prostředky.
Leni dokáže prostřednictvím své kamery i pamětí manipulovat s pravdou. Ačkoli některé scény z vlastního života ráda ponechá na podlaze střižny, neznamená to, že jsou navždy ztraceny. Co se stane, když se osudy všech nevyhnutelně protnou právě v Berlíně, během olympijských her? Jaké tajemství Sigrun při svém pátrání odhalí?
One Summer
This is a moving story of love, second chances and the importance of family from the Number One International Bestseller. When thirty-four-year-old ex-war veteran Jack Armstrong is told he has only weeks to live, his first concern is for his beloved wife Lizzie, and their children: baby Jackie, twelve-year-old would-be actor Cory and rebellious teenage daughter Mikki. It seems so cruel that an apparently fatal illness should claim him, a survivor of Afghanistan and Iraq, when he still has so much left to live for. On Christmas Eve, as Jack prepares to say goodbye to his family, unthinkable tragedy strikes again and Lizzie is killed in a car accident. Just when Jack thought living was far harder than dying, and the children's future looked so bleak, something remarkable happens which gives Jack the valuable second chance he'd only dreamed of. Unexpectedly, the family inherits Lizzie's beautiful childhood home on the oceanfront in South Carolina. During one unforgettable summer Jack and the children struggle to rebuild their lives. They learn to live again - and to love again. And they learn the biggest lesson of all - the importance of family.

Diamond Hunters
The jet was a solid eighteen-inch column, a pillar of brown mud and yellow gravel and sea water that beat against the steel plates of the hull with a hollow drumming roar. In the few seconds since the explosion the cyclone was already half-filled with a slimy shifting porridge that rushed from wall to wall with the movement of the ship. It was like some monstrous jellyfish which each second gathered weight and strength.' The Van Der Byl Diamond Company, willed by its founder to his son Benedict, his sister Tracey and their estranged foster-brother Johnny Lance turns out to be a bequest of hatred. For it is couched in such terms as to offer Benedict the instrument of destruction of his bitterest rival. 'Destroy Johnny' is the old man's implacable message. And so, consumed with envy for Johnny, Benedict sets out in ruthless pursuit of this goal and Johnny is plunged into a maelstrom of greed, vengeance and murder ...

Český PEN-klub
Kniha pojednává o historii československého PEN-klubu, sdružení, jehož původním a hlavním účelem bylo přijímání autorů ze zahraničí. S rostoucím nebezpečím fašismu se však z původní nepolitické organizace stala jedna z prvních tribun, kde byl fašistický a nacistický režim důrazně odsouzen. Pražská pobočka, v níž se sešla řada předních osobností naší meziválečné literatury, pak hrála v rámci celého PEN-klubu na tomto poli významnou roli.

Mind`s Eye
Janek Mitter stumbles into his bathroom one morning after a night of heavy drinking, to find his beautiful young wife, Eva, floating dead in the bath. She has been brutally murdered.

Only once he has been convicted and locked away in an asylum for the criminally insane does he have a snatch of insight -- but is it too late? Drawing a blank after exhaustive interviews, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren remains convinced that something, or someone, in the dead woman's life has caused these tragic events. But the reasons for her speedy remarriage have died with her. And as he delves even deeper, Van Veeteren realizes that the past never stops haunting the present ...

Wish You Were Here
This is a masterly work from one of our greatest writers. On an autumn day in 2006, on the Isle of Wight, Jack Luxton, former Devon farmer and now the proprietor of a seaside caravan park, receives the news that his soldier brother Tom, not seen for years, has been killed in Iraq. For Jack and his wife Ellie this will have a potentially catastrophic impact. For Jack in particular it means a crucial journey - to receive his brother's remains, but also into his own most secret, troubling memories and into the land of his and Ellie's past. "Wish You Were Here" is both a gripping account of things that touch and test our human core and a resonant novel about a changing England. Rich with Graham Swift's love of the local, full of humour and tenderness in the face of tragedy, it is also, inescapably, about a wider, afflicted world. Moving towards an almost unbearably tense climax, it allows us to feel the stuff of headlines - the return of a dead soldier from a foreign war - as heart-wrenching personal truth.

Triumph of the City
Understanding the modern city and the powerful forces within it is the life's work of Harvard urban economist Edward Glaeser, who at forty is hailed as one of the world's most exciting urban thinkers. Travelling from city to city, speaking to planners and politicians across the world, he uncovers questions large and small whose answers are both counterintuitive and deeply significant. Should New Orleans be rebuilt? Why can't my nephew afford an apartment in New York? Is London the new financial capital of the world? Is my job headed to Bangalore? In Triumph of the City, Glaeser takes us around the world and into the mind of the modern city from Mumbai to Paris to Rio to Detroit to Shanghai, and to any number of points in between to reveal how cities think, why they behave in the manners that they do, and what wisdom they share with the people who inhabit them.

The Language of Flowers
The Victorian language of flowers was used to express emotions: honeysuckle for devotion, azaleas for passion, and red roses for love. But for Victoria Jones, it has been more useful in communicating feelings like grief, mistrust and solitude. After a childhood spent in the foster care system, she is unable to get close to anybody, and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings. Now eighteen, Victoria has nowhere to go, and sleeps in a public park, where she plants a small garden of her own. When her talent is discovered by a local florist, she discovers her gift for helping others through the flowers she chooses for them. But it takes meeting a mysterious vendor at the flower market for her to realise what's been missing in her own life, and as she starts to fall for him, she's forced to confront a painful secret from her past, and decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness. "The Language of Flowers" is a heartbreaking and redemptive novel about the meaning of flowers, the meaning of family, and the meaning of love.
