Emma
One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary
'I never have been in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall'
Beautiful, clever, rich - and single - Emma Woodhouse is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage. Nothing, however, delights her more than interfering in the romantic lives of others. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protégée Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected. With its imperfect but charming heroine and its witty and subtle exploration of relationships, Emma is often seen as Jane Austen's most flawless work.

Mansfield Park
One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary
'We have all been more or less to blame ... every one of us, excepting Fanny'
Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua, the Crawford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. Mansfield Park is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social position and moral integrity, one of her most profound.
Northanger Abbey
One of six new delightful and collectible hardback editions from Penguin Classics, publishing to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary
'To look almost pretty, is an acquisition of higher delight to a girl who has been looking plain the first fifteen years of her life, than a beauty from her cradle can ever receive'
During an eventful season at Bath, young, naive Catherine Morland experiences the joys of fashionable society for the first time. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, her imagination influenced by novels of sensation and intrigue, Catherine imagines terrible crimes committed by General Tilney. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful and and optimistic of Jane Austen's works.
Lightbreakers

But Janus lab is not what it seems, and soon Noah and Maya are drawn into its dangerous web, where they must grapple with their pasts and plumb the depths of human connection to find their way back to one another.

I, Medusa
From New York Times bestselling author Ayana Gray comes a new kind of villain origin story, reimagining one of the most iconic monsters in Greek mythology as a provocative and powerful young heroine.
Meddy has spent her whole life as a footnote in someone else's story. Out of place next to her beautiful, immortal sisters, she dreams of leaving her family's island for a life of adventure. So when she catches the eye of the goddess Athena, who invites her to train as a priestess in her temple, Meddy leaps at the chance to see the world beyond her home. Flourishing in her role as Athena's favoured acolyte, all it takes is one fateful night to irrevocably alter the course of Meddy's promising future forever.
With her locs transformed into snakes as punishment for a crime she did not commit, Meddy must embrace a new identity - not as a victim, but as a vigilante - and with it, the chance to write her own story as mortal, martyr and myth.
Exploding with rage, heartbreak and love, I, Medusa reimagines the iconic figure from Greek mythology as a young Black woman caught in the cross currents between her heart's deepest desires and the cruel, careless games the Olympian gods play.

Pozvání na popravu
„Rozsudek smrti byl v souladu se zákonem oznámen Cincinnatovi C. šeptem.“
V žádné jiné ze svých próz se Nabokov nepřiblížil literárnímu světu Franze Kafky tak jako v Pozvání na popravu. Zjitřené vnímání společenské látky se tu spojuje s pocitem hlubokého existenciálního traumatu, jež má obecný charakter a o to více promlouvá k současnému čtenáři. Mladý hrdina čeká na svou popravu, přičemž není zcela zřejmá ani povaha jeho skutečného provinění, ani bližší okolnosti chystané exekuce. V tomto svíravém rámci jde odsouzenci o jediné – vymezit se vůči netečnosti světa prostřednictvím vlastního psaní. Román pochází z Nabokovova „ruského“ období, tedy z doby, kdy autor již nežil ve své vlasti, ale byl součástí široké ruské diaspory v Evropě. Přestože se příběh odehrává ve fiktivním prostředí, odkaz k mašinérii stalinské hrůzovlády je nepopiratelný. Kniha je tak považována za stěžejní dílo ruské literatury 20. století.
Román doprovází doslov literárního vědce Richarda Müllera.

Šteklivý šlabikár
František Malec Ftipný sa podujal na ťažkú úlohu: napísať literárne útvary tak, aby sa v každom z nich všetky slová začínali rovnakým písmenom, alebo, ak chcete, hláskou. Podobných pokusov už bolo dosť, ale na všetky písmená? Aj na q? Aj. Aj na x? Aj. Aj na y? Samozrejme! Navyše tak, aby texty boli aj vtipné? Pred uvedením knihy do verejného priestoru požiadal viacero osobností, aby stručne zhodnotili humoristicko-satirickú knihu Šteklivý šlabikár alebo Príbehy podľa písmen A až Ž. Z reakcií vyberáme: „Alečo!“ – Aristoteles, akademik, Atény. „Jasajme: Jedinečné, jasnozrivé, jagavé!“ – Janko Jesenský, jurista, Jesenské. „Kvalita knižnej kultúry kontinuálne klesá.“ – Klement Kotvald, kritik konzumného kapitalizmu, Kremeľské Kračany. „Úžasné umenie! Udeľujem uznanie.“ – Umberto Uzo, ugrofínsky učiteľ ukulele, Ulanbátár. „Výnimočné! Vešajte!“ – Vocca, Všade. A pridávame aj zopár názvov kapitol a kapitoliek, v ktorých sa dočítate o mnohých postavách z histórie i súčasnosti, našej i svetovej, ale aj o celkom obyčajných ľuďoch a nezávislých osobnostiach: Bu-bu-bu budúcnosť (Boľševická báchorka), Frajer Ficko (Filmová fikcia), Nanebostúpený nyekolkonásobného náčelnýka (Nonfikšn), Ňu-ňu-ňu! (Ňeobyčajné ňešťastie), Rád rytierov rozkrádačov (Realistická rozprávka), Snehulienka so siedmimi statočnými (Sentimentálna story)... Ak sa ani raz nezasmejete, peniaze za knihu vám nikto nevráti, ale vy sa musíte vrátiť tam, odkiaľ ste prišli.
Seatmate
I have exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes to get from Boston to New York City or the professional opportunity of a lifetime disappears. My only travel option? The second to last seat on a discount bus. Across from the bathroom. Wearing last night's clothes (don't ask). All worth it if I can make it in time.
My nerves almost get the best of me, but then there he is, sitting down in the seat next to me. Tall. Friendly smile. Bright indigo streak in his brown hair. The perfect distraction. Turns out he's on his way to reconnect with an old flame. The one that got away. We can both make it on time - just barely - if the traffic keeps flowing.
Playing road-trip games, avoiding calls from his mother, and effortless conversation keeps us from clockwatching . . . until the bus breaks down. And my seatmate turns into my copilot as we wrangle a ride in a car three decades old. And hit all the traffic. And oh, Lord, the detours. And somehow I end up careening cross-town on the handlebars of a Citi Bike carrying a box of kittens. (Yeah, don't ask.)
He's my hero every step of the way . . . and I might be falling for him. But what happens when we reach our final destination? Could my seatmate really be my soulmate?
Anděl se šalmají
„Úžasné znovuobjevení – a mezinárodní bestseller.“ „Panství Downton ve Vídni“ (Vanity Fair)
Panství Downton ve Vídni nebo také nekrolog za Rakousko – i tak bývá někdy označován rozsáhlý a skvostný román Anděl se šalmají významného moravsko-rakouského spisovatele Ernsta Lothara. Autor tuto panoramatickou habsburskou ságu napsal během války v americkém exilu, kam se uchýlil před nacisty.
V centru Vídně se nad portikem domu číslo 10 vznáší kamenný anděl s buclatými tvářemi troubící na šalmaj. Za elegantní barokní fasádou sídlí rodina Altů – rozsáhlá dynastie výrobců klavírů, na jejichž nástroje hrál samotný Mozart. „Malé“ osudy rodiny se proplétají s „velkými“ dějinami – od sebevraždy korunního prince Rudolfa přes první světovou válku až po „anšlus“. Autor vykresluje portrét upadajícího Rakouska, který se odráží zejména v osudu hlavní hrdinky románu, okouzlující i sobecké Henrietty.
Lásky, intriky, zrady, milované nemanželské děti i opovrhovaní legitimní potomci, vřelé vášně i mrazivé vztahy, světová válka, vzestup nacismu, ambice, naděje, státní tajemství… Tři generace Altů žijí a umírají v domě číslo 10 a každý z nich je svým vlastním způsobem svědkem změn Evropy v období její vrcholné slávy i dekadence.
Ernst Lothar (1890–1974) vystudoval práva, a než se stal spisovatelem, divadelním kritikem, režisérem a ředitelem divadla, pracoval jako státní zástupce. Jeho manželkou byla herečka a zpěvačka Adrienne Gessnerová, s níž v roce 1938, po anšlusu, uprchl nejprve do Švýcarska a poté do USA. Napsal celou řadu povídek, novel a románů, z nichž většina se odehrává v Rakousku, které znal, a dotýká se palčivých témat. Podle jeho románů se točily filmy, Lothar sám i režíroval a psal scénáře. Jako autor byl nesmírně úspěšný a ověnčený mnoha literárními cenami.
Ptáčata

Vyhrají nájemní byt v Deptfordu, jedné z nejobdivovanějších budov v New Yorku s krásným výhledem na Central Park a nádhernou architekturou.
Reid přehlíží znepokojující události a Aniny hluboké obavy a paranoiu jako cenu za život v New Yorku – lidé jsou divní –, ale nedokáže vysvětlit kousance podobné vpichům na těle miminka.

Sweet Talk
It's officially booty o'clock, I'm alone again in my kitchen choking down a slice of terrible chocolate cake...and I'm pretty sure I just got drunk texted by the man I have a ginormous crush on.
I've been daydreaming about Eliot Hoffman's dimples for two months, and even though I'm sure this was a mistake on his end, it doesn't mean it's not an opportunity on mine.
It's the middle of the night, and I just wanna talk to him. So I text him back.
And then somehow we keep talking . . . ALL NIGHT. We're both insomniacs, so talking all night soon turns into talking EVERY night. And talking about nothing soon turns into talking about something. And here we go from in-depth analysis of reality TV to my relationship with my family, to his amazing artwork. There's no topic we don't cover . . .
Except for who I really am.
It's the only question of his I won't answer.
As my crush turns into an avalanche of Eliot, I think of him all the time now. But if he knew who I was, the entire house of cards we've built this relationship on would come toppling down.
I want him to be mine, but we might never be more than just a sweet dream . . .
Changing Places
The first of the hilarious novels in the campus trilogy, Changing Places is a funny and wise tale of academic ill-manners - David Lodge at his comic best.
When Philip Swallow and Professor Morris Zapp participate in their universities' Anglo-American exchange scheme, the Fates play a hand, and each academic finds himself enmeshed in the life of his counterpart on the opposite side of the Atlantic. Nobody is immune to the exchange: students, colleagues, even wives are swapped as events spiral out of control. And soon both sundrenched Euphoric State university and rain-kissed university of Rummidge are a hotbed of intrigue, lawlessness and broken vows...
'One of the funniest but - much more importantly - one of the most truthful of postwar British novelists' Jonathan Coe
A Taste of Poison

A runaway princess. A deadly huntsman. A royal conspiracy.
