Nevšedné príbehy


Nevšedné príbehy zachytávajú dávno zabudnuté časy a prchavú atmosféru miest v Európe, v Maďarsku a Budapešti, pričom naša ľudská podstata ostáva nemenná. Dezső Kosztolányi na sklonku svojho života písal najmä novely. Posledné kompletné súborné vydanie ich obsahuje 242. Kosztolányi do knižného vydania v roku 1933 zaradil 35 noviel. Tie vyšli aj v slovenskom preklade Karola Wlachovského pod názvom Večerné romance. Zostavenie nového slovenského výberu pod názvom Nevšedné príbehy, urýchlila vedecká monografia Kosztolányi Dezső od Mihálya Szegedy-Maszáka.

Great Big Beautiful Life


When Margaret Ives, the famously reclusive heiress, invites eternal optimist Alice Scott to the balmy Little Crescent Island, Alice knows this is it: her big break. And even more rare: a chance to impress her family with a Serious Publication. The catch? Pulitzer-prize winning human thundercloud, Hayden Anderson, is sure of the same thing. The proposal? A one-month trial period to unearth the truth behind one of the most scandalous families of the 20th Century, after which she’ll choose who’ll tell her story. The problem? Margaret is only giving each of them tantalising pieces. Pieces they can’t put together because of an ironclad NDA and an inconvenient yearning pulsing between them every time they’re in the same room. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story – just like the tale Margaret’s spinning – could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad … depending on who’s telling it.

Klíč k domovu


Slaný vítr mi vhání slzy do očí, když hledím na smaragdové vody Irského moře. Všechno, o co jsem přišla, i dítě, které ztratila moje prababička Nellie, je tady najednou tak opravdové – v zemi, kterou má rodina opustila. Jak mám jít dál? Odhalím někdy pravdu o malé dívce, která před tolika lety zmizela? Když Erin, rodačka z Bostonu, přijíždí do větrem bičované zátoky Roone Bay, má zlomené srdce, je unavená a osamělá. Její manželství skončilo a teď se snaží vybudovat nový život na drsném pobřeží Irska. A také rozluštit příběh záhadného vzkazu ve staré rodinné bibli, který ji pronásleduje od dětství. Finn, místní historik a člen pobřežní stráže, však její prosby o pomoc odmítá. Erin se tedy zabydlí v městečku s vybílenými chalupami a rybáři s tvářemi ošlehanými větrem a vydává se pátrat po vlastní ose. Kdo byla její příbuzná Nellie a proč odešla z Irska do Ameriky? Co se stalo s její ztracenou dcerkou Annie a setkala se s ní Nellie ještě někdy? Erin už začíná ztrácet naději, že se někdy dopátrá pravdy, když ji jedné deštivé noci zachrání Finn, který nakonec souhlasí, že jí pomůže. A večer co večer, při světle ohně a svíček, tak jako za časů její prababičky, se Finn a Erin sbližují, když si navzájem vyprávějí své životní příběhy. Ovšem ve chvíli, kdy Erin začíná věřit, že by městečko Roone Bay mohlo být jejím novým domovem, učiní zdrcující objev. Dokáže čelit pravdě, která změní všechno, co si dosud myslela o sobě, své minulosti i irském dědictví své rodiny? Nebo uteče, stejně jako kdysi Nellie, a promarní tak největší šanci na štěstí, jakou kdy měla? Vychází v překladu Michaely Vavrušové.

Daughter of the Otherworld


From the author of the Gael Song trilogy, an epic new historical fantasy set in the tumultuous, magical world of medieval Ireland during the time of the Norman invasion. Over a hundred years after she went missing, Isolde, born to the family of a famous Irish king and a powerful immortal, inexplicably reappears. Her mother's kin, the Descendants, are one of the two magical races of Ireland. But no Descendant can understand the reasons for Isolde's disappearance, and worse yet, she is giftless – born with no magical ability, a dangerous thing when the magic-rich Fomorians, ancient enemies of the Descendants, are growing in strength. The Fomorians no longer control any Irish kingdoms, but they still desire control over the mortal world. They seek to spread their dangerous webs wider by manipulating England’s Norman lords to invade Ireland. Not yet eighteen, Isolde's world is about to change for ever. But when death and destruction seem inevitable, her true worth will show itself, for Isolde is far more than she seems.

Gentlemen of the West


Gentlemen of the West, Agnes Owens’ debut novel, was first published in 1984 to wide critical acclaim. The novel follows the humorous exploits of Mac, a young bricklayer, who, along with a colourful cast of characters, seeks solace and escape in the convivial atmosphere of the Paxton Arms and the levelling influence of alcohol. Each chapter feels like a self-contained episode, but this engaging novel is a cleverly constructed, coherent narrative that is a darkly humorous portrayal of working-class life. With sharp and inventive language, the novel skilfully balances drama and comedy, making you root for the underdog. 'A moving picture of a hard, surprising world which is forcing a young man to understand it and himself' – Alasdair Gray'Accomplished and resonant and . . . always informed with a comic astringency' – The Scotsman'Simultaneously funny and unflinching . . . an economy of language worthy of Ernest Hemingway or Muriel Spark' – Dani GaravelliPublished to celebrate Agnes Owens' centenary year in 2026.
