The Short End of the Sonnenallee
Thomas Brussig's classic German satire, translated into English for the first time and introduced by Jonathan Franzen, is a comedic, moving account of life in East Berlin before the Fall of the Berlin WallThomas Brussig's slim novel, The Short End of the Sonnenallee, is a satire set, literally, on the Sonnenallee, the famed "boulevard of the sun" in East Berlin.Within this boulevard lives Michael, an adolescent who faces daily ridicule whenever he steps out of his apartment building and comes into view of the observation platform on the West side. "Look, a real Zonie. Can we take your picture?" Hopelessly in love with the most beautiful girl on the street, Michael is batted away in favour of the Western boys who are free to cross the border.
What chance does Michael have, and how much trouble will he get into by pursuing her?Laugh-out-loud funny and unabashedly silly, Brussig's novel follows the bizarre, grotesque quotidian details of life in the German Democratic Republic. As this new translation shows, the ideas at its heart - freedom, democracy and life's fundamental hilarity - hold great relevance for today.

Případ ztracené závěti / The Case of the Missing Will
V Případu ztracené závěti se na známého detektiva Hercula Poirota obrací mladá žena, které její nebožtík strýc připravil opravdu důmyslný hlavolam, aby se tak ujistil, že si zaslouží stát se jeho dědičkou. Poirot osobně napomůže i vyřešení tajuplného případu vraždy v povídce Dobrodružství s italským šlechticem. Povídky Rádžův smaragd a Mužnost Edwarda Robinsona patří k autorčiným oblíbeným humorným textům, které nijak neidealizují vztahy mezi muži a ženami. Labutí píseň čtenáře pro změnu zavede do podivuhodného světa opery a povídka Poslední seance je výjimečná tím, že se vážně zabývá oblíbeným tématem Agathy Christie: vyvoláváním duchů a nadpřirozenými jevy.

The Rebel and the Kingdom
The wild story of a college activist's high-stakes attempt to topple the North Korean regime and change the world.
In the early 2000s, Adrian Hong was a soft-spoken Yale undergraduate looking for his place in the world. After reading a harrowing account of life inside North Korea, he realized he had found a cause so pressing that he was ready to devote his life to it. What began as a trip down the safe and well-worn path of organizing soon morphed into something more dangerous. Hong journeyed to China, outwitting Chinese security services as he helped ferry asylum-seeking North Korean escapees to safety.
Meanwhile, Hong's secret organization, Cheollima Civil Defense (later renamed Free Joseon), began tracking the North Korean government's activities, and its volatile third-generation ruler, Kim Jong Un. Free Joseon targeted North Korean diplomats who might be persuaded to defect, while drawing up plans for a government-in-exile. After the shocking broad-daylight assassination in 2017 of Kim Jong Nam, the dictator's older brother, Hong, along with Marine veteran Christopher Ahn, helped ferry Nam's family to safety. Then Hong took the group a step further. He initiated a series of high-stakes direct actions, culminating in an armed raid at the North Korean embassy in Madrid-an act that would put Ahn behind bars and turn Hong into one of the world's most unlikely fugitives.
In the tradition of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild, The Rebel and the Kingdom is an exhilarating account of a man who turns his back on the status quo-to instead live boldly by his principles. Acclaimed journalist and bestselling author Bradley Hope-who broke numerous details of Hong's operations in The Wall Street Journal-now reveals the full contours of this remarkable story of idealism and insanity, hubris and heroism, all set within the secret battle for the future of the world's most mysterious and unsettling nation.

The Ship Beneath the Ice
The extraordinary story of how the Endurance, Sir Ernest Shackleton's ship, was found in the most hostile sea on Earth in 2022
On 21 November 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, finally succumbed to the crushing ice. Its crew watched in silence as the stern rose twenty feet in the air and then, it was gone. The miraculous escape and survival of all 28 men on board have entered legend. And yet, the iconic ship that bore them to the brink of the Antarctic was considered forever lost.
A century later, an audacious plan to locate the ship was hatched. The Ship Beneath the Ice gives a blow-by-blow account of the two epic expeditions to find the Endurance. As with Shackleton’s own story, the voyages were filled with intense drama and teamwork under pressure. In March 2022, the Endurance was finally found to headlines all over the world.
Written by Mensun Bound, the Director of Exploration on both expeditions, this captivating narrative includes countless fascinating stories of Shackleton and his legendary ship. Complete with a selection of Frank Hurley’s photos from Shackleton’s original voyage in 1914–17, as well as from the expeditions in 2019 and 2022, The Ship Beneath the Ice is the perfect tribute to this monumental discovery.

The Last Secret of the Secret Annex
The extraordinary, never-before-told story of Bep Voskuijl, Anne Frank's closest friend during the 761 days she spent in the Secret Annex.
Bep was just twenty-three when the Franks went into hiding and she risked her life to protect them, plunging into Amsterdam's black market under the noses of German soldiers and Dutch spies to source food and medicine for the Annex. In those cramped quarters, Bep and Anne's friendship blossomed. As this book reveals, while she was sharing meals with Anne Frank, Bep's sister Nelly whose name was scrubbed from Anne's published diary was collaborating with the Nazis.
Written by Bep's own son, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex interweaves her story with Anne Frank's and Nelly's to show us the Secret Annex as we've never seen it before.
We follow Bep after the war as she struggles to build a life in the shadow of her past, unable to get over losing Anne nor put to rest the horrifying suspicion that she had been betrayed by her own flesh and blood.
Captivating and unsettlingly suspenseful, The Last Secret of the Secret Annex is a portrait of ordinary families caught between the victims and persecutors, in which collaborators and resisters often lived under the same roof. With a moving mother-son relationship at its heart, it explores how historical trauma is inherited from one generation to the next, and how sometimes keeping a secret hurts far more than revealing a shameful truth.

The Murder at the Vicarage
A quiet English village
A shocking murder
An unlikely detective
Nobody liked Colonel Protheroe. So when he’s found dead in the vicarage study, there’s no absence of suspects in the seemingly peaceful village of St Mary Mead. In fact, Jane Marple can think of at least seven. As gossip abounds in the parlours and kitchens of the parish, everyone becomes an amateur detective. The police dismiss her as a prying busybody, but only the ingenious Miss Marple can uncover the truth...
Never underestimate Miss Marple.
The Powerful and the Damned
The real scoop isn't on the front page
'As FT editor, I was a privileged interlocutor to people in power around the world, each offering unique insights into high-level decision-making and political calculation, often in moments of crisis. These diaries offer snapshots of leadership in an age of upheaval...'
Lionel Barber was Editor of the Financial Times for the tech boom, the global financial crisis, the rise of China, Brexit, and mainstream media's fight for survival in the age of fake news.
In this unparalleled, no-holds-barred diary of life behind the headlines, he reveals the private meetings and exchanges with political leaders on the eve of referendums, the conversations with billionaire bankers facing economic meltdown, exchanges with Silicon Valley tech gurus and pleas from foreign emissaries desperate for inside knowledge, all against the backdrop of a wildly shifting media landscape.
The result is a fascinating - and at times scathing - portrait of power in our modern age; who has it, what it takes and what drives the men and women with the world at their feet. Featuring close encounters with Trump, Cameron, Blair, Putin, Merkel and Mohammed Bin Salman and many more, this is a rare portrait of the people who continue to shape our world and who quite literally, make the news.

Sia - Music: Songs From And Inspired By The Motion Picture CD
KDO: Sia Kate Isobelle Furler je v hudebním světě známá především jako velmi úspěšná zpěvačka a skladatelka. Narodila se v Austrálii a začínala jako členka acid jazzové kapely Crisp. V roce 1997, kdy se skupina rozpadla, Sia natočila svůj sólový debut OnlySee a přestěhovala se do Londýna, kde našla nové spřízněné duše. Se supinou Zero 7 vydala několik úspěšných desek a dále zkoušela štěstí jako sólistka. Po několika nevydařených pokusech se znovu přestěhovala, tentokrát do New Yorku a uspěla jako skladatelka. Napsala několik světových hitů pro Davida Guettu, Flo Ridu nebo Rihannu a v letech 2014 a 2016 se deskami 1000 Forms Of Fear a This Is Acting prosadila i jako zpěvačka.

Základní scénář snímku sepsala sama protagonistka už v roce 2007, dotvořit ho do finální podoby jí nyní pomohl spisovatel a ilustrátor Dallas Clayton, jenž se proslavil sérií dětských příběhů Awesome Book. Hlavní role ve filmu ztvárnili Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr. a Maddie Ziegler. Hudební produkce jednotlivých skladeb se ujali třeba Greg Kurstin, Jack Antonoff nebo Jesse Shatkin, v singlovce Hey Boy hostuje hvězda afrického rapu Burna Boy (spolupracoval například s Chrisem Martinem z Coldplay, Lily Allen, Edem Sheeranem a Stormzym, Fall Out Boy, Pop Smokem, Beyoncé, Samem Smithem apod.).
