Uncharmed


Andromeda Wildwood is practically perfect in every witch way. As the proud owner of a bustling London bakery, Annie’s life is a haze of pink, magic and impossibly high standards. She devotes her powers to pleasing others, no matter the magical toll it takes. But Annie’s charmed existence is about to get delightfully messy . . . Annie is tasked by her coven with mentoring a troubled teenage witch, and she couldn’t be more different from fiery, stubborn Maeve. Or from Hal, the gruff but handsome owner of the woodland cottage where they must temporarily reside. As the unlikely trio slowly bond, outside forces begin to take an interest in Maeve’s extraordinary powers. Will Annie risk everything to protect the true magic she’s finally found?

Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat


A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt. Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra. Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.

In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing


In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing. Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts and photographs, cult performance and autobiography, it traces the journey through the everyday theatre of Kim Noble's life. As his art world escapades spiral from a gallery in Helsinki to hardware stores in London and a desolate English beach, romance fizzes and reality unravels. Here, fantasy and fact tangle in hand-drawn chaos, and the book itself becomes an artefact-proof of an unreal real life. At once absurd and touching, Kim Noble's journey is less a memoir and more a treasure hunt through the weird tides of love, loneliness, and the art of staying afloat. And in the margins of the page lurks a sardonic cephalopod, who crumples the story with inky interruptions and astute commentary on the unfolding adventures.

This Dark Night


'Seamless and compelling' -- Spectator'This biography is a wonderful book' -- GuardianThe author of Wuthering Heights and strangest of the Brontë sisters is brought back to life in this stormy biography set amongst the wild moors of Yorkshire. Emily Jane Brontë was just 27 when she started writing the wayward and electric novel Wuthering Heights. Three years later, she was dead. Out of step with her own time and remembered as the strangest of the Brontë sisters, there's much that we don't know about her — most of her papers were destroyed after her death. But as Deborah Lutz explores in this, one of the first biographies of Emily in 20 years, the writing that has survived seethes with storm and strife and with the beautifully desolate landscape of Yorkshire. Drawing on a vast quantity of unexplored archival materials, Deborah reconstructs the texture of Emily Brontë's days, bringing us closer to one of the greatest and fiercest writers we have, by showing us her creative process and her confidence in her strange art. This book has much to reveal to readers of Wuthering Heights, as we accompany Emily around the wild moorlands she loved so much. Also threaded through with the contemporary politics and events of the era (from the early labour movements of the Chartists and reformists, to the slave uprisings in the colonies), and authors and locals that Emily read about or knew (from proto-feminist Mary Wollstonecraft to the masculine lesbian Anne Lister). Featuring illuminating readings of her poems, This Dark Night takes us inside the world of Emily's irrepressible spirit and wild imagination.

Some Men In London: Queer Life, 1960-1967


The second in a major two-part anthology uncovering the rich reality of life for queer men in London, from the end of the Second World War to decriminalization in 1967 In the 1940s, it was believed that homosexuality had been becoming more widespread in the aftermath of war. A moral panic ensued, centred around London as the place to which gay men gravitated. Peter Parker's fascinating new compendium explores what it was actually like for queer men in London in this period, whether they were well-known figures such as Francis Bacon, Joe Orton and Kenneth Williams, or living lives of quiet - or occasionally rowdy - anonymity in pubs, clubs, more public places of assignation, or at home. It is rich with letters, diaries, psychological textbooks, novels, films, plays and police records, covering a wide range of viewpoints, from those who deplored homosexuality to those who campaigned for its decriminalization. This second volume, from 1960 to 1967, shows how key elements in British society gradually changed their views on homosexuality, resulting in the landmark 1967 act by which it was no longer considered a crime if it took place between adults in private. This did not end violence, discrimination and prejudice, but it at least curbed official persecution. Some Men in London is a testament to queer life and its thriving, joyous subculture - a subculture without which the 1960s would have been immeasurably impoverished.

Simpsonovi: Komiksové safari


Springfieldu hrozí potopa, a zatímco Flanders staví archu, Líza svolá partu k opravě vetché hráze; ale proč dělá Homer přesčasy jako blázen? A proč zakládá pštrosí farmu, když před prací kolem domu obvykle strká hlavu do písku? Ani Bart se, jak známo, na zahradě nepředře, ale jakmile začne dojit kačky z travní sekačky, brzy padne kosa na kámen. Sekáč býval kdysi i děda Simpson, ale dnes by jeho historky umořily vola, natož Homera. Když však Abe najde vděčné posluchače a adoptivní rodinu u Flandersů, má jeho pravý syn moře starostí s tím, jak ho získat zpět. Moře a dávné křivdy a hoře hrají hlavní roli i v napínavé bitvě dvou starých mořských vlků, kteří si to ovšem nerozdají šavlemi, nýbrž vařečkami. Vařit se bude i v řízném příběhu plném hořkosti a nakvašenosti, když Homer vypění poté, co se jeho svět otřese v základech: Duff již nechutná jako dřív! Je jen na Homerovi, aby vyčistil ten Augiášův chlív.
