City of Night Birds
'A novel that will be read and loved for the next one hundred years, and essential reading for right now. I could not have loved it more.' Coco Mellors, author of Blue Sisters
'This story left me thinking about the ways we overcome setbacks and redefine what truly matters.' Reese Witherspoon
A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK FOR DECEMBER 2024 * A HARPER'S BAZAAR BEST BOOK OF 2024
Slowly recovering from a terrible accident, Natalia is faced with a devastating choice - to return to the cutthroat world of Russian ballet that nearly broke her, or to walk away forever - in this sweeping novel of love and redemption
Prima ballerina Natalia Leonova was once celebrated across the world, her signature bravura in demand on stages from St. Petersburg to Paris to New York. But at the top of her career, an accident forces her into sudden retirement. Injured and alone, she turns to pills and alcohol to numb the pain of her past, still haunted by her relationships with two gifted dancers, Dmitri and Alexander. These men were responsible for her soaring highs, her darkest hours and, ultimately, both played their part in her downfall.
So when Dmitri resurfaces with a tantalising offer for Natalia, she must decide what she is willing to sacrifice in order to dance again - and for the chance to return to the great love of her life. Painting a vivid portrait of a world in which ruthless ambition, desire and sublime artistry collide, City of Night Birds unveils the making of a dancer with profound intimacy and breathtaking scope.
From the author of Beasts of a Little Land, winner of the Yasnaya Polyana Award

You Glow In The Dark
''Do you glow in the dark?'' In 1987, an unsecured source of radiotherapy was stolen from an abandoned hospital in Goiania, Brazil, resulting in four deaths and 249 contaminations. Liliana Colanzi''s debut collection is inspired by this radiological disaster, where each story seizes the reader''s attention through her unpredictable and original storytelling. Colanzi transgresses the distinction between reality and fiction, time and genre, to create a striking exploration of toxic waste and its impact on local lives and the environment. Where a harmless object or place holds an invisible threat and the reader is left wondering what is real. You Glow in the Dark is an impactful and experimental collection that exemplifies the genius of Colanzi''s writing.
Myra Breckinridge And Myron
Everyone is talking about Myra Breckinridge - and everything you have heard about her is true'I am Myra Breckinridge, whom no man will ever possess.'So begins the irresistible testimony of the luscious instructor of Empathy and Posture at Buck Loner's Academy of Drama and Modeling. Myra has a secret that only her surgeon shares; a passion for classic Hollywood films, which she regards as the supreme achievements of Western culture; and a sacred mission to bring heteronormative civilization to its knees. 'Gore Vidal, a writer of lustrous and fabulously readable prose, was always ahead of his time, so it is wonderful to see some of his finest works being republished for an audience who will be ready to (re)discover his daring, his insight and his wickedly waspish wit' STEPHEN FRY
Is Free Speech Under Threat?
In a book that can be read from either end, two leading thinkers present alternative answers to one of the most difficult and divisive questions of our times Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, argues that alongside the necessary and long-overdue elevation of minority voices in recent years, there has also arisen an uncompromising intolerance – most notably on university campuses and online – that wrongly equates a wide range of offensive speech with violence and seeks to shut it down. This has led to an escalating free speech arms race, from which everyone loses. Charlotte Lydia Riley, historian of empire and editor of The Free Speech Wars, argues that accusations of cancel culture and defences of free speech are too often disingenuous attempts to fuel a culture war and so inhibit an important realignment in which hateful speech is at last being called out for what it is and the right to free expression is being extended to more people than ever before. Published in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, the world’s leading curator of debate, this book is part of the THINK AGAIN series: short books that present two expert, contrasting but equally persuasive views in a single volume that can be read from either end.

HOGYAN SZÜNTETTEM MEG A SVÁJCI BANKTITKOK MEGŐRZÉSÉNEK RENDSZERÉT?
Bradley C. Birkenfeld a történelem legjelentősebb harangkongatójaként (visszaélések bejelentőjeként) elhíresült, mára visszavonult pénzügyrendszeri szakértő. Karrierjét Bostonban kezdte. Onnan Európába költözött, ahol a Credit Suisse, a Barclays Bank és az UBS sikeres privát bankárjává nőtte ki magát. 2005-ben célba vette az UBS vezetőségét a privát bankárjaik által elkövetett törvénytelenségek miatt, amivel kiszolgálták az adócsalást elkövető amerikai ügyfeleiket. Miután az UBS vezetősége elutasította őt, Birkenfeld kapcsolatba lépett az amerikai kormánnyal, és megkezdte azt a folyamatot, amiben a felfedő nyilatkozataival segített az amerikai államkincstárnak 12 milliárd dollárt visszaszerezni az adókból, bírságokból és büntetésekből az adócsalásokat elkövető amerikaiaktól.

The Midnight Timetable
Equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny and deeply political, The Midnight Timetable is a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time's greatest imaginations. 'Truly nightmarish.' Andrew Michael Hurley'I inhaled Bora Chung's book of ghost stories and then slept with the light on!' Avni Doshi'Uniquely brilliant and exquisitely demented' Gerardo Sámano CórdovaIn a labyrinthine research facility, where those who open the wrong door might find it's disappeared behind them or that the echoing footsteps they're running from are their own, an unnamed protagonist begins their night shift under the watchful eye of the building's enigmatic senior guard. Each evening, as the fluorescent lights flicker and the silence grows heavier, the guard shares another tale of cursed objects and lives unspooled by vengeance, sorrow or revelation. But these are not mere ghost stories. They're warnings. Lessons. Or, perhaps, confessions . . . As the nights stretch on and reality frays, our protagonist starts to suspect that the building itself is alive with malevolent intent and that the objects they guard aren't just cursed. They're waiting. Watching. 'Electrifying. A feast of a book. Strange, hypnotic and audacious.' Irenosen Okojie'A fascinating novel of shifting realities centred by a steady, humane heart. Bora Chung is a master of concocting dreamscapes that linger.' Marie-Helene Bertino'These ghost stories . . . mist off the page and leave the real world hazy and askew.' Pemi Aguda

Dunblane 1996. Columbine 1999. Utoya 2011. Christchurch 2019. Lewiston 2023.What drives someone to commit the unthinkable? In Running Amok, forensic psychiatrist Paul E. Mullen burrows into the minds of lone wolf mass murderers, exposing the troubling patterns underlying their actions.Drawing on decades of first-hand experience assessing killers such as Australia’s Martin Bryant and Anders Breivik, Mullen examines the key forces that unite them: obsessive rage, personal grievance, a fascination with weapons and a destructive quest for infamy – often culminating in suicide. Mullen challenges myths about madness and violence, revealing these killers not as incomprehensible monsters, but as deeply disturbed individuals shaped by knowable forces. Crucially, he offers guidance for recognising warning signs and improving threat assessment.Running Amok is both a searing investigation into mass murder and a call to action, urging society to confront these dark realities and prevent the next horror.
