Vadný kontakt
Smuteční řečník Franz Escher čeká na elektrikáře. Jeho kuchyňská zásuvka má vadné spojení. Aby si ukrátil čas, čte knihu o Eliu Russovi, korunním svědkovi, který vydal spravedlnosti 27 mafiánských bossů.
Elio čeká ve vězení na propuštění. Zradil tolik lidí, že se bojí o život. Při budování nové identity musí svou minulost přísně tajit. Také svědomitý a poctivý Escher něco skrývá. Oba čtou střídavě knihu jeden o druhém, vyprávění přeskakuje z příběhu do příběhu, až se spojí v překvapivém finále.
Román uznávaného rakouského spisovatele Wolfa Haase zažíhá narativní ohňostroj: To, co začíná jako dva poměrně přímočaré životní příběhy, se zvrtne v závratný tanec s mrtvým řemeslníkem, rodinnými zápletkami a mnoha nevyřešenými tajemstvími. Jde o knihu, která ukazuje, jak by vypadal svět umělce M. C. Eschera, kdyby se namísto kreslení optických iluzí věnoval literatuře.
Cast Away
'Beautiful, fascinating, heartbreaking, philosophically engaging – and often very funny' JO HARKINHow big must a man’s folly be, that it can cost him the whole of his life? As big as a ship; as big as an island. 1704: Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk has been abandoned by his own shipmates on a remote, uninhabited island. With little hope of rescue, and wild goats and cats as his only companions, he is forced to confront not only the urgent challenges of survival, but also the troubled, unsavoury past that has brought him here. What kind of man is deliberately stranded by his crew, to face near-certain death? On the island, he must use his grit, tenacity and ingenuity to survive. As his isolation deepens, Selkirk’s experience takes an extraordinary and often blackly comic turn, for the island’s consolations prove as unexpected as its trials. The longer he is stranded, the more Selkirk wonders if he will ever escape the island, and in what ways he will be changed if he does. A tale of adventure and endurance, isolation and friendship, despair and hope, this gripping, singular novel asks who we are – and who we become – when everything else is stripped away. In Cast Away, award-winning author Francesca de Tores boldly reimagines the real-life story of Alexander Selkirk, the inspiration for the classic novel Robinson Crusoe. The world knows Crusoe’s story – yet what unfolds on Selkirk’s island is stranger by far . . .

This is the sort of place where it pays to look after the small things, and let the big things look after themselves.

Sometimes, however, the big things do not look after themselves - and all hell can break loose in the sleepy streets of suburbia.Set in suburban Britain, Common Decency chronicles the lives and interactions of the street''s residents as they band together to save a beloved oak tree from destruction at the hands of developers.As tensions rise and repressed neuroses and resentments seep out, the secrets of the street''s inhabitants threaten to shatter the well-ordered veneer and reveal some rather more surprising truths...

Walking on the Ceiling
‘Savas writes with both sensuality and coolness, as if determined to find a rational explanation for the irrationality of existence...’ New York Times‘I fell in love with this book.’ Katie Kitamura, author of Audition and A SeparationThe mesmerizing debut novel by the author of The Anthropologists set in Paris and Istanbul, about a young Turkish woman grappling with her past and her complicated relationship with a famous British writer. After her mother's death, Nunu moves from Istanbul to a small apartment in Paris. One day outside of a bookstore, she meets M., an older British writer whose novels about Istanbul Nunu has always admired. They find themselves walking the streets of Paris and talking late into the night. What follows is an unusual friendship of eccentric correspondence and long walks around the city. M. is working on a new novel set in Turkey and Nunu tells him about her family, hoping to impress and inspire him. She recounts the idyllic landscapes of her past, mythical family meals, and her elaborate childhood games. As she does so, she also begins to confront her mother's silence and anger, her father's death, and the growing unrest in Istanbul. Their intimacy deepens, so does Nunu's fear of revealing too much to M. and of giving too much of herself and her Istanbul away. Most of all, she fears that she will have to face her own guilt about her mother and the narratives she's told to protect herself from her memories. A wise and unguarded glimpse into a young woman's coming into her own, Walking on the Ceiling is about memory, the pleasure of invention, and those places, real and imagined, we can't escape.

Maria La Divina
'This is a marvel' Publishers Weekly'Compelling and dramatic' Booklist'...the allure of an opera legend is rendered with humanizing grit' Foreward ReviewsMaria Callas, called La Divina, is widely recognised as the greatest diva who ever lived. Jerome Charyn's Callas springs to life as the headstrong, mercurial, and charismatic artist who captivated generations of fans, thrilling audiences with her brilliant performances and defiant personality. Callas was one of the first divas to come from an impoverished background. As an outsider, she was shunned by the Italian opera houses, but through sheer force of will and the power and range of her voice, she broke through the invisible wall to sing at La Scala and headline at the Metropolitan Opera, forging an unforgettable career. Adored by celebrities and statesmen, the notable and notorious alike, her every movement was shadowed by both music critics and gossip columnists – until, having lost her voice, she died alone in an opulent, mausoleum-like Paris apartment. In Charyn's inimitable style, Maria La Divina humanizes the celebrated diva, revealing the mythical artist as a woman who survived hunger, war, and loneliness to reach the heights of acclaim.
