Sotiris Trapezanlidis sa narodil v gréckom meste Thessaloniki, osud ho však zavial na Slovensko, kde žije už dve desaťročia, takže dnes ho možno považovať za bilingválneho autora. (v Grécku mu vyšli štyri knihy a na Slovensku sa prezentuje svojou druhou knihou). Je odborníkom na komunikáciu, širokú škálu poznatkov o mentoringu a koučovaní využil zaujímavým spôsobom a skĺbil so snahou pochopiť dimenzie vnútorného sveta človeka. Román Vzťahy v oblakoch je hlbokým ponorom do ľudskej duše, autor zobrazuje príbehy viacerých partnerských a súrodeneckých dvojíc. Krivolaké chodníčky ich osudov sa navzájom neuveriteľným spôsobom prepletajú a vedú k stretom na krížnych cestách - niektoré majú pre nich magické čaro, iné prinášajú tragické kolízie. Slovami autora: „Momenty dokážu zmeniť život jednej osoby, jednej skupiny, jednej krajiny alebo celého sveta. Momenty, ktoré, ak by neprišli alebo keby sa odohrali inak, zmenili by naše reakcie i naše životy a ukázali by nám úplne iný svet. Rozhodnutia trvajú tiež len moment a podľa toho, či sú také alebo onaké, určujú budúcnosť."

Ak by ste mali moc rozhodovať o živote a smrti ostatných ľudí, ako by ste sa zachovali? Thea má tajomstvo. Pomocou jediného dotyku dokáže zistiť, ako dlho bude človek žiť. A nielen to. Taktiež dokáže preniesť život z jedného človeka na druhého – to všetko zistí pri tragickej nehode, keď jej najlepšia priateľka Ruth počas večierku v bare spadne a tak nešťastne si udrie hlavu, že zomrie. Keď sa muž zodpovedný za priateľkin pád príde uistiť, či je Ruth v poriadku, Thea sa v zúfalej snahe zachrániť Ruth dotkne jeho ruky. V momente, keď Ruth nadobudne vedomie, muž sa potichu zrúti mŕtvy na zem. Thea si uvedomí, že má božskú moc. No napriek tomu, že sa ju rozhodne využívať v prospech dobra, zavše si nemôže pomôcť a použije ju pre vlastné blaho. Keď ju v práci rozčúli šéfka, môže jej zobrať trochu života a venovať ho svojmu masérovi ako prepitné za fantastickú masáž. Thea si vytvorí Morálny kódex vraždy, ktorý jej pomáha plne sa sústrediť na jej novonadobudnuté schopnosti. No keď sa rozhodne, že ich pomocou potrestá podliakov a tým, ktorí si to zaslúžia, dopraje viac času, zistí, že to nie je až také jednoduché, ako by sa mohlo na prvý pohľad zdať. Podľa čoho sa rozhodne, či si niekto skutočne zaslúži zomrieť? A podarí sa jej vytvoriť si všetky pravidlá, skôr než Ruth vyprší požičaný čas?

New Yorker cartoonist and author of Murder Book Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell returns with a riotous and radically candid comic memoir about snacks, connection, and developing a taste for freedom.From standup comedian, New Yorker cartoonist, and the author of Murder Book comes this fresh comics memoir about being a snacker in a world of foodies.  With equal parts humor and unflinching honesty, Hilary traces her life story through food: from her childhood as the ultimate picky eater, her teenage and young adult years of disordered eating, and finally learning to love herself again. Punctuated throughout with ridiculous (but very real! and important!) snack recipes like "a baggie of goldfish" and "burnt toast," Campbell captures the reality of growing up in a woman's body in the '90s and '00s in how it shaped her life in work, friendship, and dating. Especially dating. Aren't we all seeking love, self-acceptance, and a good snack to get you through it? These hilarious stories of family, romance, and belonging prove that if food can isolate us, it also has the power to connect us to what matters most.

From Derf Backderf, the bestselling author of My Friend Dahmer, comes the Eisner and ALA/YALSA Alex Award-winning tragic and unforgettable story of the Kent State shootings, told in graphic novel form.Named a Best Book of the Year by New York Times, Forbes, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and NPR, Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio is a moving and troubling story about the bitter price of dissent—as relevant today as it was in 1970. On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. In a deadly barrage of 67 shots, four students were killed and nine shot and wounded. It was the day America turned guns on its own children—a shocking event burned into our national memory. The fatal shootings triggered immediate and massive outrage on campuses around the country. More than four million students participated in organized walkouts at hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools, the largest student strike in the history of the United States at that time. It was a day that shocked the nation and helped turn the tide of public opinion against America’s war in Vietnam. A few days prior, 10-year-old Derf Backderf saw those same guardsmen patrolling his nearby hometown, sent in by the governor to crush a trucker strike. Using the journalism skills he employed on My Friend Dahmer and Trashed, Backderf has conducted extensive interviews and research to explore the lives of these four young people and the events of those four days in May, when the country seemed on the brink of tearing apart. In this award-winning and powerful graphic novel, Derf Backderf takes us back to the age of the Vietnam War, Richard Nixon, Woodstock, and the Cold War and explores, in words and images, a scene of tragedy: the campus of Kent State University, where National Guard Troops attacked unarmed protestors and killed four students (Allison Beth Krause, age 19, Jeffrey Glenn Miller, age 20, Sandra Lee Scheuer, age 20, and William Knox Schroeder, age 19).

Citlivý a zároveň ironický pohľad na ukrajinskú rodinu, ktorú vojna vytrhla z domova, no nie z koreňov. Tolik si práve splnil životný sen: štyri tisícky kilometrov od celej svojej otravnej rodiny si kúpil dom, ktorý si plánuje zariadiť podľa svojich predstáv. Vojna mu však skrížila plány a pod jeho novonadobudnutou strechou sa ocitli jeho mama, jednonohý strýko, vzdialená sesternica so svojím uslintaným psíkom, sestra s depresívnou kamarátkou a dokonca aj mačky – svokra s nevestou. Zatiaľ čo Ukrajinu ničia bomby a zabíjajú stovky a tisícky ľudí, Tolik prežíva inú vojnu. Je to vojna všedných dní, vojna ľudí, ktorí sa v cudzej krajine snažia vytvoriť dočasný domov s vôňou paradajok. Prežívajú v neznesiteľnej obyčajnosti každodennosti, hoci v duchu zostali doma, v Ukrajine. Vojna ich však sprevádza na každom kroku. Je ako dlhý rebrík, čo dosiahne všade. ***** „Toličok,“ ozvala sa raz Hryhorivna a Tolik hneď zbystril, lebo to oslovenie bolo predzvesťou vydierania a manipulácie. Zdvihol pohľad. „Načo ti je ten kaktus hen v rohu?“ Pri dome rástol asi dvojmetrový kaktus s rozvetvenými širokými listami. Bol košatý, opieral sa o stenu a naťahoval svoje ostnaté dlane k okoloidúcim. „Mne sa kaktusy páčia,“ povedal Tolik. „Ja by som ho vyrúbala,“ navrhla Hryhorivna. „Mne sa kaktusy páčia,“ zopakoval Tolik. „Kaktusy odoberajú energiu,“ začala so svojimi feng šuej trikmi. „Vnútri domu pohlcujú elektronické žiarenie, ale čo robí pred domom? Len vyciciava energiu.“ „Ja som plný sily a energie,“ povedal Tolik a sotva otvoril svoje večne ťažké viečka. Hryhorivna vedela, ako zahubiť akýkoľvek strom, preto mlčala. „Ak sa čo i len dotknete môjho kaktusu, vytrhám vám paradajky,“ vstal Tolik.

Holnap – ha egyáltalán eljön a reggel, ha a vihar végre alábbhagy – Cora be fogja jegyeztetni a kisfia nevét. Vagy talán, és ez aggasztja igazán, épp ezzel dönti el, kivé is válik majd a gyermeke. 1987-et írunk. Egy pusztító vihar után Cora kilencéves lányával útnak indul, hogy hivatalosan is bejegyezze újszülött fia nevét. Férje ragaszkodik hozzá, hogy a családi hagyományt követve a baba az ő nevét örökölje, ahogyan már generációk óta minden elsőszülött fiú. Amikor azonban Cora a döntés pillanatához ér, meginog. A férje akaratának engedni a biztonságosabb út. De vajon helyes-e, hogy a fiuk olyan nevet kapjon, amelyet zsarnoki férfiak egész sora viselt? A döntés, amit Cora azon a napon meghoz, mindnyájuk életét örökre megváltoztatja. Hét évvel később a fiú neve Bear; a nővére választotta így, és a név éppoly elemi erővel formálja a sorsát, mint az a vihar, amelynek idején megszületett. Vagy talán Julian, az a név, amit anyja szívből szeretett volna adni neki, abban a reményben, hogy így lehet majd igazán önmaga. Vagy mégis Gordon, az apja után, akinek keménysége és kegyetlensége lassan rányomja bélyegét a fiúra is, de talán még nem késő megállítani ezt az örökséget. A Nevek megrendítő és reményteli regény az identitásról, a szabad választás hatalmáról, és arról, hogyan fonódhat egyetlen döntés köré egy egész élet. Egy család története ez – és a szereteté, amely a legzordabb sors ellenére is képes tovább élni.
