The Complete and Original Norwegian Folktales of Asbjornsen and Moe
The definitive English translation of the celebrated story collection regarded as a landmark of Norwegian literature and culture-now in paperback The extraordinary folktales collected by Peter Christen AsbjOrnsen and JOrgen Moe began appearing in Norway in 1841. Over the next two decades the publication of subsequent editions under the title Norske folkeeventyr made the names AsbjOrnsen and Moe synonymous with Norwegian storytelling traditions. Tiina Nunnally’s vivid translation of their monumental collection is the first new English translation in more than 150 years-and the first ever to include all sixty original tales. Magic and myth inhabit these pages in figures both familiar and strange. Giant trolls and talking animals are everywhere. The winds take human form. A one-eyed old woman might seem reminiscent of the Norse god Odin. We meet sly aunts, resourceful princesses, and devious robbers. The clever and fearless boy Ash Lad often takes center stage as he ingeniously breaks spells and defeats enemies to win half the kingdom. These stories, set in Norway’s majestic landscape of towering mountains and dense forests, are filled with humor, mischief, and sometimes surprisingly cruel twists of fate. All are rendered in the deceptively simple narrative style perfected by AsbjOrnsen and Moe-now translated into an English that is as finely tuned to the modern ear as it is true to the original Norwegian. Included here-for the very first time in English-are AsbjOrnsen and Moe’s Forewords and Introductions to the early Norwegian editions of the tales. AsbjOrnsen gives us an intriguing glimpse into the actual collection process and describes how the stories were initially received, both in Norway and abroad. Equally fascinating are Moe’s views on how central characters might be interpreted and his notes on the regions where each story was originally collected. Nunnally’s informative Translator’s Note places the tales in a biographical, historical, and literary context for the twenty-first century. The Norwegian folktales of AsbjOrnsen and Moe are timeless stories that will entertain, startle, and enthrall readers of all ages.
The First Thousand Trees
''One of the most unique and engaging voices in genre fiction.'' - Booklist. ''In this rich and nuanced universe, Mohamed offers an emotionally fierce and human story that takes the time and space to personalize apocalypse.'' - Quill & Quire, starred review. After making a grievous mistake that ended in death, Henryk Mandrusiak feels increasingly ostracised within his own community, and after the passing on of his parents and the departure of his best friend, Reid, there is little left to tie him to the place he calls home. Henryk does something he never expected: he sets out into the harsh wilds alone, in search of far-flung family. He finds his uncle''s village, but making a life for himself in this unfriendly new place - rougher and more impoverished than the campus where he grew up - isn''t easy. Henryk strives to carve out a place of his own but learns that some corners of his broken world are darker than he could have imagined. This stunning novella concludes the story Mohamed started in The Annual Migration of Clouds and continued in We Speak Through the Mountain, bleaker than ever but still in search of a spark of hope in the climate apocalypse.

The Samurai Detectives: Volume 1
Shogun meets Sherlock Holmes! Over 24 million copies have been sold of this beloved samurai adventureIt has been half a year since Akiyama Daijiro became a samurai; half a year since he left his father Kohei – once the most skilled swordsman in the land – to set up his own blade school by the cool of the river. Ever since, amid the swaying bamboo groves, he waits patiently for his first disciple. But his serenity is soon disrupted by the visit of a mysterious samurai with an unhonourable offer: in exchange for a vast sum of gold, he must attack and injure the daughter of the Shogun’s most senior counsellor.
Troubled by the proposal, Daijiro, alongside his father and Mifuyu, a female warrior without match, soon set out into the underworld of Edo-era Japan to uncover the conspiracy, before quickly finding themselves embroiled in a series of increasingly perilous adventures . . .
Widely considered to be the greatest work by Shotaro Ikenami, the master of Japanese historical fiction, The Samurai Detectives is a twisting, page-turning portrayal of one of the most intriguing, evocative periods in the history of Japan.

Samice druhu
Alex Craftová zabila člověka – a nelituje toho. Když byla její starší sestra Anna před třemi lety zavražděna, policie selhala. Vrah zůstal na svobodě a zdálo se, že nikdy nebude muset čelit spravedlnosti. Právě tehdy Alex poprvé dala průchod temnotě dřímající ve svém nitru a zabila ho. Byl první, ale rozhodně ne poslední.
Alex totiž není jako ostatní. Je časovaná bomba, kanón se zažehnutým knotem. Je nebezpečím pro všechny kolem sebe. Pro Peekay, dceru místního kněze, se níž se spřátelila v psím útulku. Pro Jacka, nadějného atleta, který by ji rád poznal blíž, ale cítí se provinile kvůli tomu, co provedl oné noci, kdy bylo nalezeno Annino tělo. A třebaže by chtěla, Alex před nimi nedokáže své pravé já skrývat. Ne navždy. Její touha po pomstě je příliš silná.
Jenže násilí plodí jen další násilí, a Alex tak nevědomky započíná sérii událostí, které jí i jejím kamarádům navždy změní život.
Vražda není hra
Úspěch. Peníze. Zrada. Vánoční večírky. Zima a koleje zapadané sněhem. Hvizd kulek. Světla a ozdoby v ulicích. Vůně punče. Jenže pro jindřichohradecké vyšetřovatele Kašmíra a Liškovou nejsou svátky časem klidu. Místo předsváteční pohody čelí sérii znepokojivých nálezů. Místo činu i stopy mají, ovšem chybí jim jeden podstatný detail – tělo. A když už se vyšetřování konečně pohne kupředu, objeví se další případ. Zase stejné schéma – další místo činu, další prázdné místo, kde měla ležet mrtvola. Všechno do sebe postupně zapadá, ale možná až příliš pomalu. Jen vrah ví, co se doopravdy stalo.

Small Scale Sinners
An astonishing debut examining women’s lives in Pakistan and interrogating the burdens, and freedom, of love.In twelve electric, potent stories, Mahreen Sohail explores the facets of women’s lives, as daughters, siblings, and mothers, in marriage, and alone. She writes of women who are fluent in the language of grief, but refuse to be confined by it; of lives that are full of desire and betrayal; of a world in which menace lurks just under the surface of the ordinary. Neighbors spy on each other; estranged families reunite at a funeral; schoolgirls are caught up in a murder. “A flawless eye for detail meets a daring instinct to tack and swerve and startle in stories that are wonderful on sisterhood, on sex, on Pakistan, on coming of age. Small Scale Sinners offers the same thrill as celebrated first collections by Jamel Brinkley and Colin Barrett and Yoon Choi: the pleasure of watching a singular sensibility awaken to its own expression” (Garth Risk Hallberg, editor of The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant, and author of City on Fire).

Shame
The novel that set the stage for his modern classic, The Satanic Verses, Shame is Salman Rushdie’s phantasmagoric epic Omar Khayyam Shakil had three mothers who shared everything. They shared the symptoms of pregnancy, they shared the son that they all claim to have borne on the same night. Raised at their six breasts, Omar's mothers teach him to live a life without shame. And it is training that proves very useful when he leaves his mothers’ fortress and makes the fateful mistake of falling in love. For he finds himself an unwitting player in an ongoing duel between the families of two men – one a celebrated wager of war, the other a debauched lover of pleasure – living in a world caught between honour and humiliation, where a moment of shame could prove fatal. ‘Shame is every bit as good as Midnight's Children. It is a pitch-black comedy of public life and historical imperatives’ The Times
