A State of Siege
In A State of Siege, Janet Frame brings her signature playfulness to paint a thrilling psychological portrait. After the death of her invalid mother, Malfred Signal, a retired New Zealand art teacher, leaves her birthplace in the south for a beach cottage on a sub-tropical island in the north. Freed from endless lessons on still life and the dominating presence of her family, she hopes at last to be alone with nature and the ‘room two inches behind the eyes’. But the solitude she has sought mocks her with echoes of her past, when, one stormy night, an intruder pounds ceaselessly and inexplicably on her door. Propulsive yet poignant, A State of Siege is a mesmerizing exploration of the artistic process, of selfhood and loneliness, and of death and its counterpart: the need to survive, to live.

Everest
What happens when you reach Everest''s peak? Is it everything you dreamed?In a magnetic follow-up to Winter Animals, Ashani Lewis'' debut collection takes a kaleidoscopic approach to desire - its obsessions, its grotesque demands and the distance it creates between us - and the strange things we stubbornly, hopefully, desperately expect from our lives.A dying woman dedicates her life to Antarctic ice; an All-American star longs for a romance that defies convention - to the detriment of his carefully curated reputation; a woman seeking her exes'' opinions on a breast augmentation takes us on a whirlwind tour of the complicated, intertwined lives of urbanites; a singer prepares for her film debut, pushing her humanity to its limits at an unusual acting school; a newlywed couple put their marriage to the ultimate test: Everest. In these twenty-one striking stories, Lewis creates a stark world of fleeting infatuations, violent compulsions, unexpected solace and the sombre ghost of memories.Praise for WINTER ANIMALS:''Thoughtful, intelligent and beautifully written . . . Lewis is definitely a new talent to watch'' Marie Claire''A dreamlike, piercing examination of privilege, youth and freedom'' Cecile Pin''Lewis is superbly talented'' Katherine Rundell''A remarkable novel: atmospheric as hell, beautiful and delightfully intelligent'' Jenny Mustard''A glittering, dark-edged tale . . .

Not There
A collection of essays about loss, grief, and absence, NOT THERE tells stories of ordinary people and the things that have happened to them. Emotions underlying these stories prompt the reader to think of their losses, and their compensations. It''s also about how we remember things - unreliably on the whole - and how our idea of the truth may be a very personal one. Szczygiel''s wide and international range of interlocutors includes: a Czech poet, a Ukrainian soldier, a Polish accountant, an Albanian painter, an Israeli writer, and the father of a reporter with whom the author travels to Prague for the last time. Written in a beautiful, associative style reminiscent of W. G. Sebald, Szczygiel lets his interlocutors and memories drive the story in unusual directions. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with empathy and wit, Szczygiel explores the human condition with its unavoidable absences. The advice that famous Polish writer, Hanna Krall, gave the author hovers over the book: ''Everything must have its form, its rhythm, Mr Mariusz. Especially absence.''

Stonehenge
Epos o zrode monumentu, ktorý spojil rozdelený svet
Seft, mladý kopáč, prichádza na Veľkú pláň, aby vymenil vydolovaný pazúrik a našiel tam Neen, dievča z rodiny pastierov, ktoré miluje. Jej príbuzní ho prichýlia, a tak u nich Seft nájde bezpečné útočisko pred krutým otcom a bratmi. Neenina sestra Joia je kňažka s veľkolepou víziou a jej schopnosti viesť ľudí sa nik nevyrovná. Ako dieťa očarene sledovala obrad letného slnovratu a odvtedy sníva o ohromnom monumente postavenom z tých najväčších kameňov na svete – kruhu, ktorý by spojil rozdelené kmene. No krajina vysychá, medzi ľuďmi rastie strach a napätie. Spory sa menia na nepriateľstvo a jediný násilný čin môže rozpútať vojnu.
Stonehenge je veľký príbeh o sile snov, o odvahe meniť svet a o zrode legendy, ktorá prežila tisícročia. Ken Follett pozýva čitateľov na výpravu k počiatkom dejín, kde sa z túžby a odvahy rodili prvé civilizácie.
Rawenswood 2: Spomeň si na mňa
Môže lady Philippa odpustiť mužovi, ktorý kedysi zničil všetky jej sny? Začítajte sa do dojímavého príbehu o uzdravujúcej sile lásky z pera jedinečnej Mary Baloghovej.
Philippa Warová, staršia dcéra grófa Strattona, si vysnívala, že s úspechom vstúpi do spoločnosti a nájde si skvelého manžela. Lenže potom jej brat odhalí neveru ich otca a verejne ho odsúdi. Škandál uvrhne hanbu na celú rodinu a Philippine nádeje na šťastný život sa celkom rozplynú, keď nechtiac začuje urážlivé slová, ktoré o nej vyriekne príťažlivý markíz Roath pred svojimi priateľmi. Trvá štyri roky, kým Philippa nájde odvahu ísť do Londýna, jej debut je však mimoriadne úspešný a podarí sa jej spriateliť s vnučkou vojvodu.
Vojvoda Wilby vie, že sa blíži jeho koniec, a tak prikáže svojmu vnukovi a dedičovi Lucasovi Ardenovi, markízovi Roathovi, aby sa oženil a postaral o dediča. Lucas sa teda hneď na začiatku sezóny vyberie do Londýna, aby si našiel vhodnú nevestu, prv než tam prídu starí rodičia a nájdu mu ju oni. Ihneď ho zaujme nová priateľka jeho sestry, no potom sa ho tá mladá dáma spýta: „Pamätáte sa na mňa?“ Zrazu si na ňu spomenie a uvedomí si, prečo je dcéra grófa Strattona jedinou ženou, s ktorou sa nemôže oženiť – aj keď mu srdce hovorí, že je to jediná žena, po ktorej túži...

Kniha začiatkov
Jo utečie pred minulosťou a pred bolestným rozchodom s dlhoročným priateľom
Jamesom do Londýna, kde začne pracovať v strýkovom papiernictve. Medzi regálmi s
jej obľúbeným papierenským tovarom spoznáva nových ľudí – majiteľov susedných
obchodíkov aj najrôznejších zákazníkov. Získa si ju najmä sedemdesiatnik Malcolm a
žena prezývaná novinármi Farárka na úteku, ktorá skrýva akési tajomstvo. Jo si zrazu
uvedomí, že vôbec nie je v tomto veľkomeste sama. A každý z jej nových priateľov má
príbeh, ktorý jej môže zmeniť život... ak to dovolí.
Kniha začiatkov je krehkou pripomienkou, že priateľstvo prichádza v tých
najnečakanejších podobách a že každý život – aj keď je poznačený ľútosťou či stratou
– má v sebe silu znovu rozkvitnúť. Sally Pageová tká jemnú tapisériu druhých šancí,
odvahy otvoriť sa ostatným a prekvapivých ciest, čo spájajú ľudské duše.

Cesta do raja
„Cesta do Raja“ je intímna kniha o umieraní, smrti a živote, ktorý pokračuje inak, než sme zvyknutí. Patrícia Jarjabková Garajová v nej s jemnosťou a otvorenosťou rozpráva o odchode svojej mamy a o tom, ako ju táto skúsenosť priviedla k starým ľuďom, k validácii, bazálnej stimulácii a sprevádzaniu umierajúcich.
V knihe sa prelínajú osobné spomienky s rozhovormi s odborníkmi a s príbehmi seniorov, ktoré odhaľujú múdrosť života.
Nie je to kniha pre tých, čo hľadajú návody – ale pre tých, čo túžia rozumieť. Kniha, ktorá otvára srdce a učí dívať sa na smrť ako na súčasť života.
Ak si kladiete otázku, čo je v živote dôležité, aká je dobrá smrť a čo všetko by sme mali spraviť, kým k nej dokráčame, je táto kniha práve pre vás.

Chuť domova
Chuť domova je dojímavý príbeh o strate, nádeji a sile nových začiatkov. Fliss po matkinej smrti objaví rodinu, o ktorej nikdy netušila, a vydá sa na anglický vidiek s jediným cieľom, nájsť blízkych, kým nie je neskoro. Na starej farme odhaľuje tajomstvá minulosti aj city, ktorým sa dlho bránila. Román britskej autorky Heidi Swain je nežným rozprávaním o domove, ktorý nemusí byť miesto, ale pocit, že sme konečne tam, kam patríme.
Láska medzi riadkami
Eileen, profesorka literatúry, milujúca šťastné konce a fiktívnych mužov (ktorí ju aspoň nenechajú stáť pred oltárom) sa už nevie dočkať tohoročného stretnutia svojho čitateľského klubu. Dobrí priatelia, lacné víno a veľké romantické gestá – to je presne to, čo teraz potrebuje.
Keď sa jej po ceste pokazí auto, nečakane sa ocitne v neznámom mestečku, ktoré vyzerá úplne ako vystrihnuté z románu.
To preto, že aj je.
Eloraton je mestečko, kde sú karamelky v cukrárni vždy sladučké, burgre v lokálnom bistre trochu pripálené a dážď sa spustí vždy až popoludní. Skrátka dokonalé miesto pre Eileen – lenže aj dokonale zamrznuté v čase, uväznené v nedokončenom príbehu zosnulej autorky.
Keď sa Eileen rozhodne vziať osud mestečka do vlastných rúk a priviesť ho do šťastného konca, narazí na odpor jedného obzvlášť nevrlého a mimoriadne príťažlivého majiteľa kníhkupectva, ktorý jej z nejakého dôvodu nechce dovoliť tento príbeh dokončiť...
