A szemlélők
Egy gazdag nyugat-európai ország diplomatáját hazarendelik állomáshelyéről, egy kicsi és ezerszer megalázott-kifosztott kelet-európai országból. Otthon fegyelmi bizottság elé kell állnia botrányos viselkedése miatt: a szeretett nő védelmére kelve megvert egy újságírót.
Vajon mi késztette erre az érthetetlen indulatkitörésre Rolandot, egy nemzedékeken át feddhetetlenül szolgáló diplomatacsalád legifjabb tagját? Akit arra idomítottak, hogy csak szemlélője legyen a világnak, az életnek - a saját életének is. Ám történhetnek olyan események, amelyek a szemlélőket is kibillentik egyensúlyukból, és érző, társra vágyó emberekké változtatják.
Roland Annára vágyik, a tehetséges ötvösművészre. Könnyű, nyugodt álmot akar, amit csak a nő adhat meg neki. De Anna világa is kettéhasadt, amikor a Nyugat védett biztonságából haza kellett térnie oda, ahol akár börtönbe vethetik vagy ki is végezhetik a polgárokat. Ő rajta ki segít?
Két történet, két világ, az igazság két fele kerül mérlegre, hogy a vád és a védelem elhangzása után kimondassék az ítélet. Ám a kérdés továbbra is kérdés marad. Összeférhet-e a két világ? Szerethetik-e egymást azok, akik nem tartoznak össze, mert a sors, a történelem áthidalhatatlan szakadékot vájt közéjük? A szemlélők a szeretet regénye. A férfi és nő közti szerelemé, a felebaráti szereteté, a hazaszereteté. Mindenfajta lehetséges és lehetetlen szereteté.

Spent
'The funniest, most satirical cartoon she has ever written – as well as, perhaps, the most prescient' OBSERVER"Very funny and self-hating in a good way" ZADIE SMITHFrom her pygmy goat farm in Vermont, a cartoonist named Alison Bechdel wonders: Can she pull humanity out of its death spiral by writing a scathing memoir about her own greed and privileg? ut how can she just sit around writing a book when the world is hanging on a threa? n this hilariously skewering comic novel, Alison is existentially pained by a climate-challenged world and a country on the brink of civil war. Her first graphic memoir about growing up with her taxidermist father has been adapted into a highly successful TV series, Death and Taxidermy. It’s a phenomenon that makes Alison, formerly on the cultural margins, the envy of her friend group. As the TV show racks up Emmy after Emmy, Alison’s own envy spirals. Surely writing her own wildly popular reality TV series wouldn’t be that hard? One that shows people how to free themselves from consumer capitalism and live a more ethical life?!In Spent, the celebrated, bestselling author of the modern classic Fun Home presents a laugh-out-loud and passionately political work of autofiction, and once again proves that “nobody does it better” (New York Times) than the real Alison Bechdel.

Tajný život slunečnic
Vincent van Gogh, jehož obrazy jsou dnes chloubou nejprestižnějších světových muzeí a mají nedozírnou hodnotu, za svého života prodal jen jedno jediné plátno. Ta zbylá zdědila manželka umělcova bratra a mecenáše Thea van Gogha Johanna Bongerová. Po Theově předčasné smrti zůstala jeho mladá vdova s dítětem bez prostředků. I tak dokázala svůj život zasvětit tomu, aby dílo geniálního tvůrce představila světu. Její dojemný, místy až napínavý příběh se odhaluje na stránkách tajemného sešitu, který před svou smrtí daruje vnučce Emsley slavná newyorská malířka Violet Velarová. Mladá podnikatelka Emsley se do Johannina příběhu ponoří ve chvíli, kdy se i jí život bortí pod rukama: krachuje jí firma i dlouholetý vztah, a navíc ji těžce zasáhne smrt milované babičky, k níž měla z celé rodiny nejblíž. Během vyklízení domu po Violet pak naráží na další a další překvapení. Johannin osud připadá Emsley natolik inspirativní, že ji přiměje přehodnotit vlastní život. Nejenže otevře své srdce nové lásce, ale také začíná rozplétat nitky rodinných tajemství. Nakonec právě v minulosti nachází odpovědi na to, kam by v životě chtěla dojít a kým by se ráda stala. Autorce se díky důkladné znalosti uměleckého prostředí podařilo vykreslit odlišná období, v nichž se oba příběhy odehrávají, i zdůraznit jejich styčné body. Osudy protagonistek se v textu navzájem proplétají a stávají se dvoustranným zrcadlem silné ženské povahy; zrcadlem, které na jedné straně odráží nesnadné postavení žen v patriarchální společnosti devatenáctého století, a na straně druhé zachycuje bitevní pole těch současných.
