Štafeta
Sedmnáctiletá Júko bydlí s nevlastním otcem Morimijou a vede naprosto spokojený život — nebo se to tak alespoň může na první pohled zdát. Od narození stihla vystřídat domov a příjmení hned čtyřikrát. Přestože se složení její rodiny několikrát změnilo, všichni rodiče ji zahrnovali láskou. Odnesla si od nich spoustu dobrého, ale některé šrámy se jen tak nezahojí. To jí připomene především rušný poslední ročník střední školy, v němž kromě učení na přijímací zkoušky dojde i na pár zvratů, které Júko donutí pořádně se zamyslet nad svými hodnotami, názory na přátelství a v neposlední řadě i nad tím, co jí dali a možná i vzali všichni její rodiče.
Nakonec Júko čeká i první velká láska a zakládání vlastní rodiny, které s sebou přinese ještě jednu výzvu před poslední změnou příjmení — přesvědčit Morimiju, aby jí a jejímu budoucímu manželovi dal svolení ke svatbě.

This newly Booker Prize-longlisted novel is ripe for book club discussions and is not recommended for public transport reading in case you, like this reviewer, miss your stop'READINGS BOOKS, Melbourne'An entertaining, thought-provoking piece of fiction' A Life In Books'Simple, delicate, delicious prose that delivers from the very first story' ? READER REVIEW'Smart, clever . . . such a brilliant read!' ? READER REVIEW_______'You know, love is love, he says. But what about the revolution?'Intricately built and wickedly humorous, these five interconnected short stories are all about one thing: money. From an interview with a child-star-turned-thief to the mysterious death of an employee at a drug manufacturer - or the couple feigning marital bliss to keep their inheritance, Ia Genberg carefully unravels the value we place on both money and people. What does it really mean to be in debt to someone? How does our financial worth permeate the ways we think and feel? And what do we lose when we supposedly win? Small Comfort skewers its characters, slyly implicating the reader along the way. A brilliantly original and thought-provoking collection from the author and translator of The Details, shortlisted for the 2024 International Booker Prize. More praise for Small Comfort:'A delightful and exquisitely executed literary mini-study that brings to mind Joan Didion' - Expressen'Her humour and delight in language make the stories crackle with life' - Svenska Dagbladet'I haven't read anything better this year' - Sydsvenskan 'Genberg captures, with intelligence and insight, the afflictions of our time' - Göteborgs-PostePraise for Ia Genberg:'Miraculous' - Hernan Diaz, author of Trust'I wish I could write like this' - Fredrik Backman, author of A Man Called Ove'So good that I kept underlining passages so I could reread them later' - Mark Haddon, author of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time 'Mesmerizing and hot to the touch' - Catherine Lacey, New York Times
Still Talking
Following her acclaimed Ladies'' Lunch novella (2023), Lore Segal continued to create stories about a fictional group of nonagenarian friends as they faced the last years, months and moments of their lives. For Lore Segal, the importance lay in ''still talking'', and still writing to the very end. Fittingly, her last story was published in the New Yorker in the week that she died, aged ninety-six.This posthumous novella of interconnected stories and vignettes is enriched by Segal''s inspiring wit and wisdom, her compassionate gaze, and her unquenchable curiosity about life. It''s a book that entreats us to keep talking, regardless of differences and the trials of ageing - a book that we''ll still be talking about many years hence.

Now Washington, Moscow, and Beijing are racing to be the first on scene to retrieve it—at any cost. Trapped in the middle of the world’s most dangerous flashpoint are CIA operative Kasey Sheridan and former fighter pilot turned first officer, Brett Sharpe. Hunted by enemy forces, they must spirit both the device and its creator across the ice to safety—before rival superpowers turn the Arctic into a war zone. With the clock ticking and the temperature dropping, the fate of the free world is about to be decided at the top of the globe.

Maybe Even Happiness
In this striking collection of short stories, written over a twenty-year period, we find Bruckstein, the storyteller, at his most lyrical. Having completed his works charting the Jewish history of his family and community in the Carpathian town of Sighet (The Trap, With an Unopened Umbrella in the Pouring Rain, The Fate of Yakkov Maggid, also published in English by Istros), his voice is here set free to explore the joys in the details of the everyday. The collection opens with an invitation to a wax-work museum, where the viewer is not confronted with the likenesses of the rich and famous, but of ordinary people; neighbours and acquaintances each with a story to tell, each looking for that elusive feeling of happiness, which, unless we are very vigilant, is so often recognised only in retrospect. His heroes’ lives are presented with deep understanding, with humour, sometimes bordering on irony, but always with empathy and love. A sensitive reader need only follow the invitation, and let the wisdom of these stories guide them.

Will Work For Food & Other Stories
I’ve recently heard from The Donald who told me that save for what he wrote during his formative creative period, these stories by Jacob Dolphy were some of the greatest ever written. Simply fabulous. He said that and I know Dolphy doesn’t even support the guy. But let’s be real. If you’re into adult fiction that depicts the mystery, joy and misfortunes of ordinary people and are not afraid of something unique or strange, be it surreal or subversive, then this book is for you. If you don’t believe me, believe the authorities when the book is banned in Texas for being transgressive. You heard it here first. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Sa'iba
''Let us go on, then! And I will tell you the story of my sister and her daughter, from beginning to end.''Alis al-Bustani''s Sa''iba (1891) is one of the earliest known novels authored in Arabic by a female writer. Written when the Arabic novel was only in its third or fourth decade, it takes up the leading fictional theme of the era: the question of young people''s choices in marriage in a society where their elders traditionally made these decisions. In Sa''iba, the focus is on what happens after the wedding, as the eponymous heroine has to fend off a jealous cousin who believes he has a right to her. Drawing on motifs of Victorian Gothic writing, brought into an Arab-Turkish fictional context, the novel powerfully shows the continuing hold of old ideas about women''s sexual susceptibility and moral ''weakness'', as such ideas were slowly giving way among educated Arab and other Ottoman middle classes to new ideals of companionship in marriage. Marilyn Booth''s translation is accompanied by an introduction discussing the themes and social context of the novel, a time of modernizing efforts and pushback against European and American power and culture in the Arabic and Ottman worlds. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

To Tell a Story
Despite their status as intellectual giants of the twentieth century, John Berger and Susan Sontag's artistic collaboration - and intense friendship - remains virtually unknown. Published for the first time, To Tell a Story offers a glimpse into their shared history that spanned nearly a quarter-century. From sources such as their eponymous film broadcast, rare personal letters and archival recordings, the composite fragments build a portrait of a relationship that was often lively and challenging, sometimes trivial and always affectionate. Berger and Sontag's voices echo throughout these pages, riffing off the other as they grapple with their respective concerns. Above all, their conversations reveal a deep reciprocal admiration and an exchange of ideas about storytelling, the self and society that informed their own work.
