The Satanic Verses


Salman Rushdie’s critically acclaimed magical realist novel explores good and evil, power and responsibility, exile and homecoming. 'A masterpiece' Sunday TimesJust before dawn one winter's morning, a plane blows apart high above the English Channel and two figures tumble, clutched in an embrace, towards the sea: Gibreel Farishta, India's legendary movie star, and Saladin Chamcha, the man of a thousand voices. Washed up, alive, on an English beach, their survival is a miracle. But there is a price to pay. Gibreel and Saladin have been chosen as opponents in the eternal wrestling match between Good and Evil. But chosen by whom? And which is which? And what will be the outcome of their final confrontation?'A great novelist, a master of perpetual storytelling' V.S.

The Carp Castle


MacDonald Harris''s posthumously published novel is set in the 1920''s against a backdrop of airships, mysticism, erotic love and a Europe that is picking itself up after WW1. The League of Nations is a giant airship constructed by the same factory in Germany that made the Zeppelins, and is owned by Moira, the leader of a semi-religious cult. The captain is Georg von Plautus, a Prussian WW1 Zeppelin commander who harbours a terrible secret from a bombing raid over London in 1916. Moira''s followers have embarked with her on an extraordinary voyage in this airship to a place that she calls Giaconda. The novel explores the lives of these characters on board taking the reader through a heady mix of sexual entanglements, metaphysics, and Blavatsky and Swedenborg influenced seances. Towards the end of the novel it is apparent that all of Moira''s devotees have one thing in common. This is perhaps MacDonald Harris'' most surprising novel, even bearing in mind that each one of his 15 published novels never failed to surprise the reader of the preceding one. The Carp Castle was completed shortly before his death in 1993 and seems to have disappeared at this time. Its re-emergence followed the very successful re-publication of his most successful book The Balloonist which left critics in the UK asking for more, and is part of the renaissance of this immensely talented writer who had so many followers and critical admirers in the 1980''s

Fate's Bane


Ignyte Award-winning author C. L. Clark brings fantasy to the fens with Fate's Bane, a tragic sapphic adventure. Warring clans. Burning hearts. Deadly fate. The clans of the fens enjoy a tenuous peace, and it is all thanks to Agnir, ward and hostage. For as long as she can remember she has lived among the enemy, learning their ways, growing strong alongside their children. When a burgeoning love for the chieftain’s daughter lures them both to a hidden spring, a magic awakens in them that could bind the clans under one banner at last—or destroy any hope of peace. By working their intentions into leather, they can weave misfortune for their enemies… just like the Fate’s Bane that haunts the legends of the clans. Ambitions grow in their fathers’ hearts, grudges threaten a return to violence, and greedy enemies wait outside the borders, seeking a foothold to claim the fens for themselves. And though their Makings may save their families, the legend that gave them this power always exacts its price.

Marce Catlett: The Force of a Story


Andy Catlett''s story begins as his grandfather, Marce Catlett, rises in the dark to go from his farm, by horseback and train, to Louisville for the sale of his tobacco crop at the auction house. The price paid for each year''s crop is determined and destroyed by the power of a single buyer, James B. Duke. This year is especially grim since the price offered to each grower is less than the expense of bringing the crop to market. A year''s worth of labour is lost. Marce returns to his family determined to discover some way to proceed. Many of his fellow farmers lack the resiliency and resourcefulness to continue, and the end for them is nearing. But only with the help of other neighbours and growers can a way be found that protects the farmers and keeps these rural families vital and in place. The power and depth of this story - and of the many stories within the Port William Membership - resonate with love, memory, kindness, and a sense of eternity. In Marce Catlett, celebrated author Wendell Berry brings to life a character that the devoted readers of the series will cherish. This moving story is a testament to the goodwill that lives within the human heart and a stirring reminder that standing up for what we believe in is always a cause worth fighting for.

Válka, láska, Jeruzalém


JERUZALÉMSKÁ „CASABLANCA“. AGENT MOSADU SEPSAL STRHUJÍCÍ HISTORICKÝ ROMÁN DRAMATICKÝ PŘÍBĚH Z VÁLKY. V DOBĚ, KDY CELÝ SVĚT HOŘÍ, SE RODÍ LÁSKA, KTEROU DĚJINY NEMĚLY NIKDY DOVOLIT. Jeruzalém, 30. léta. Támar-Henrietta je Židovka z Vídně, která uprchla před Hitlerem. Wolfgang je křesťan ze zdejší Německé kolonie, syn templerů – komunity, kde mnozí sympatizují s nacisty. Zamilují se do sebe, ale jejich láska je od začátku odsouzena k záhubě. Zlomený Wolfgang odchází do Německa. Když vypukne válka, je povolán jako výsadkář a znovu se ocitá v Palestině – tentokrát jako voják Třetí říše. Támar, která se na něj zoufale snaží zapomenout, ho jednoho dne zahlédne v ulicích Jeruzaléma právě v době, kdy Rommelův Afrikakorps míří k hranicím Palestiny. Na pozadí válečných událostí se odehrává příběh o lásce, která vzdoruje osudu i dějinám. Židé a Němci, Angličané a Arabové, členové podzemí, britští detektivové i nacističtí špioni – ti všichni obývají stránky tohoto široce pojatého historického románu, který oživuje bouřlivý Jeruzalém doby britského mandátu. Kniha založená na důkladném výzkumu propojuje skutečné postavy a události s fiktivními osudy. Gad Šimron, někdejší agent Mosadu a spisovatel, opět potvrzuje, že je skvělý vypravěč. Příběh je navíc založen na jeho rodinné historii. Český čtenář zná Šimrona z knih Exodus podle Mosadu a Poprava Kata z Rigy.
