The Spider
A tale of mercenaries and myths, set amid the political turmoil of Bengal. In the largely undocumented sphere of political violence in eastern India, Qadir the Spider is a mythological killer and casanova, known for the various assassinations and liaisons he carries out across the region. His oldest son Rahim is the latest entry to the field. A 13-year-old killer, the boy bides his time like his father—killing, farming, and getting high as the battles go on around him. In this world where they only follow orders, mutilation becomes their only expression, the nature of violence their only meaningful form of autonomy in the various power struggles of interior Bengal. After his first year in the field, as the child is groomed by his father to carry on the ways of their mercenary clan, he begins to confront the various legends surrounding the Spider. However, while roaming the strange, spectral forests surrounding the town, his chance encounter with a pair of wandering musicians leads him to question the killings that pattern his life. As he searches for the answers around him, he is slowly led to confront the man his father truly is, as well as the man he knows he will become. A gripping tale of inherited violence and identity in politically volatile Bengal, Aurko Maitra’s The Spider contains powerful, disturbing parallels to modern-day conflicts. Boldly interrogating our concepts of autonomy and survival in chaos, this revelatory novel explores the impact of political violence and timeless issues of legacy and intergenerational violence.
Hostina Cyprianova / Cena Cypriani
Groteskní humor Hostiny Cyprianovy (orig. Cena Cypriani) je křesťanskou obdobou římských saturnálií. Text provází rozsáhlý poznámkový aparát, rejstřík a doslov.
Parodická fraška Hostina Cyprianova pojednává o bláznivé svatbě a hostině, na kterou se dostaví více než sto biblických postav od Adama a Evy po Ježíše Krista a Jidáše Iškariotského. Když průběh opulentního hodokvasu naruší krádež, začne vyšetřování, viník je odsouzen, zabit a nakonec se hosté rozejdou zpátky domů. Hostina Cyprianova byla populární zejména ve středověku, kdy jejími čtenáři byli zbožní křesťané a řeholníci. V novodobé historii se jí věnovali například Michail Bachtin a Umberto Eco.
Krok do tmy
Když oblíbeného strážníka z Kilmarnocku ubijí v jeho vlastním domě k smrti, všechno nejdřív nasvědčuje tomu, že šlo o loupež, která se zvrtla. Jenže když ve službě přijde o život jeho kolega, je jasné, že jde o něco mnohem zlověstnějšího: někdo záměrně vraždí policisty.
Inspektorka Heather Filsonová, které ztrpčuje život nová nesnesitelná kolegyně a puberťačka posedlá skutečnými zločiny, musí brutálního vraha vypátrat dřív, než napětí mezi policií a veřejností skončí katastrofou. V Glasgow už totiž propukly nepokoje a pouliční rvačky, a nestačí jen chytit vraha – je třeba zabránit tomu, aby v největším skotském městě zavládlo násilí.

Příliš silný kafe

V práci se mu taky dvakrát nedaří. Když sehnal prestižní zaměstnání ve firmě zaměřené na komunikaci s mimozemšťany, tak nepočítal s tím, že díky diagnostikované skleróze svého šéfa se po velmi krátké době z IT odborníka, stane pouhým služebníkem kávovaru jménem Nancy.
Posledním místem, kde nachází útěchu, je bar, ale i tady ho Nancy pronásleduje. Veškeré osobní problémy se ve srovnání s vraždou a hrůznou konspirací stanou nepodstatné.

My Mother's Silver Fox
A gripping, deeply moving novel about one man’s search for truth and identity in the long shadow of war. Heinz Fitz has only one tangible clue to his past: a worn piece of paper from the SS-Lebensborn program, a Nazi initiative designed to promote so-called racial purity. His mother, a Norwegian woman, fell in love with the wrong man—an Austrian soldier—during the German occupation. Betrayed and abandoned, she fled to Austria, only to be turned away by his family. Branded a collaborator in her homeland and a pariah in a foreign land, she was left to survive as best she could. Now, years later, her son is determined to piece together the fragments of his origins. But every answer leads to more questions, and as he unearths painful truths, an alternative story—one of resilience, love, and survival—emerges from the darkness. Inspired by real events, Alois Hotschnig’s novel is both a fierce reckoning with history and a poignant tribute to a mother’s strength. A masterful meditation on memory and storytelling, My Mother’s Silver Fox asks whether the past can ever truly be understood—or if it will always slip through our grasp, like snow through our fingers.
Other Death
A lecturer’s descent into psychological chaos unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of 1990s Budapest. In Other Death, we are thrown into the chaotic life of a forty-year-old university lecturer who is experiencing a sudden, complete psychological and existential breakdown. Afternoons disappear and years chop and change in confusion as he wanders the streets searching for work. Homelessness, alcoholism, and hate are on the rise in 1990s Budapest as symptoms of the regime change. Images flash up from other lives: a Boer pointing a shotgun in Johannesburg, bodies heaped up in the downtown area, a Volkswagen campervan parked by an empty phone box in Switzerland. As he encounters new and historic traumas embedded in the lives and the buildings around him, the unnamed narrator struggles to grasp any coherent identity. It’s only when he starts to work as a gallery attendant, observing the interactions between viewer and artwork, light and space, that he embarks on the slow healing routine towards clarity. In Barnás’s semi-autobiographical novel, meditations on trauma and urban space, image and observation, and spiritual friendships echo the writings of W. G. Sebald and Thomas Bernhard. Like Vertigo meets The Bell Jar, the magnetic language of Other Death draws the reader into the murky workings of a mind severely afflicted.
Shock Induction
'A biting satire that exposes American money, greed and elitism' Sunday Independent
From the bestselling author of Fight Club comes a dark, satirical parable about a string of mysterious high school disappearances, the seedy underbellies of billionaires, and the tough choices we make in the face of an uncertain future.
In Shock Induction, the best and brightest students at a seemingly reputable high school are disappearing. Every day it seems another overachiever is lost to an apparent suicide. But something far more sinister is lurking beneath the surface.
These kids have been under surveillance since birth, monitored and measured by an online service called "Greener Pastures." It's here, in Greener Pastures, that billionaires observe and recruit the next generation of talent. The highest test scores, the best grades, and the most niche extracurriculars just might land these teenagers an enticing offer at auction. A couple billion dollars in exchange for the remainder of your life and intellectual labor sounds like a pretty fair deal-doesn't it?
In a high school only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine, students must choose between the risk of following their dreams or the security of money and a lifetime of servitude to the world's wealthiest and most elite-but how much of a choice do they truly have?

Počas vyšetrovania sa však pripletú do cesty Holmesovi a Watsonovi a netrvá dlho, kým si všetci štyria uvedomia, že sú terčom tej istej osoby. Ich životy sú v ohrození, a tak musia uzavrieť neľahké spojenectvo. Stopy ich zavedú do hotela vo Švajčiarsku k sprisahaniu, ktoré je omnoho väčšie, než si dokázali predstaviť.

Hříšná dohoda
Svatba má být tím nejšťastnějším dnem v životě, ne dnem, kdy zjistíte, že váš nastávající je nevěrný zmetek.
Při zoufalém útěku od oltáře mě zachytí silné ruce. Škoda, že patří úhlavnímu nepříteli mého ex – Oliveru Deubelovi. Je bohatý a mocný, tenhle muž je ztělesněný hřích. A nejvíc mě vytáčí, že je nejen arogantní a panovačný, ale i naprosto neodolatelný.
Když se můj svatební skandál stane virálním hitem na internetu a mně navíc hrozí vyhoštění ze země, Oliver mi nabídne pomoc – pokud spolu zničíme mého bývalého snoubence, on mi pomůže získat vízum. Podmínka? Musím se k němu nastěhovat a předstírat, že jsme spolu.
Nejradši bych se mu vysmála do obličeje, ale zjišťuji, jak krutý a nemilosrdný dokáže být. A tak se rozhodnu mu to oplatit tím, že mu udělám ze života peklo. Jenže on na to reaguje tím, že je... laskavý.
Pomalu ale jistě se hranice mezi tím, co je skutečné, a tím, co je předstírané, stírají.
Jenže Oliver není žádný Romeo a jen blázen by se do něj zamiloval.
Bohužel se obávám, že tím bláznem budu možná já.

Eradication
A moving fable in which a grieving man, confronts a broken world on an island overpopulated by goats.
Reeling from tragedy, a former jazz musician-turned-schoolteacher named Adi answers a job listing advertising a chance to save the world. The assignment: to spend five weeks alone on the tiny, isolated Pacific Island of Santa Flora and reckon with its invasive population of goats that's sent the ecological balance severely out of whack..

Fearful for his own life, and for the fate of the island, Adi spends his sun-drenched days rooting out the true threat to Santa Flora, and, by extension, to the world it occupies - and the desperate steps he must take to eradicate it.
Eradication is an utterly unforgettable reading experience and the work of a truly singular imagination.
