I, in the Shadows


There’s a ghost haunting Drew Tarpin’s new room. Liam Orville has been dead for ten months and has no idea how to move on. But the longer he stays, the more likely it is he’ll degrade into an energy consuming husk—which Drew is more concerned about than her grades or her inability to make meaningful connections with other students. Drew is everything Liam never was when he was alive, but they do share some common ground: Drew finds herself hopelessly attracted to—and completely tongue-tied around—Hannah Sullivan, who happens to be Liam’s former best friend. After a run-in with a ghost-eating monster leaves Drew and Liam desperate for answers, they strike up a deal: In return for Drew investigating why Liam is still around, he’ll help her talk to Hannah. But Liam’s time is running out, and if Drew doesn’t help him move on, he risks becoming a monster himself.

Diletantismus a další eseje


Rudolf Kassner (1873 – 1959) byl jednou z nejzajímavějších a zároveň nejméně známých osobností evropského kulturního myšlení první poloviny 20. století. Narodil se ve Velkých Pavlovicích v rakousko?uherské monarchii a navzdory dětské obrně, která ho pro zbytek života odkázala na berle, se stal vášnivým cestovatelem, poutavým esejistou, překladatelem a kulturním filozofem. Kassner studoval filologii, latinu a filozofii ve Vídni a Berlíně a celý život usiloval o to, aby porozuměl lidské představivosti, kritizoval modernitu a zkoumal mystiku, hermetismus i filozofické myšlenky dalekých kultur. Jeho dílo, které zahrnuje originální eseje, aforismy a filozofické studie, ovlivnilo řadu jeho významných současníků, například Rainera Maria Rilkeho. Kassner byl třináctkrát nominován na Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, a to od uznávaných profesorů a kulturních osobností z Rakouska, Německa a Švýcarska. I když cenu nakonec nezískal, jeho myšlenky zůstávají trvalým odkazem evropské filozofie a literatury. Tato kniha o diletantismu napravuje jistý dluh vůči tomuto v mnohém podnětnému mysliteli.

One Week Later


They had one perfect week. Then they vanished from each other's lives - until his book inadvertently made her the villain. Two years ago, romance novelist Melody Adams met aspiring author Beckett Nash on a sun-soaked vacation in Aruba. Seven days of stolen moments, midnight swims, and intimate conversations left them both certain they'd found the real thing. Then a tangle of missed flights, mixed signals, and bad timing tore them apart before they could say goodbye. Neither could reach the other - so both assumed they'd been dumped. And both did what writers do: they turned heartbreak into a novel. Now Beckett's debut has made him a literary sensation. Melody's book? Critics call it a shameless rip-off. The only way to salvage her career - and her sanity - is to reconnect with Beckett and set the record straight. There's just one problem: Beckett is engaged to someone else. And seeing each other again reminds them of exactly what they lost…and how much they both still want. A sun-drenched missed connection, a storm of public scandal, and a second chance romance you'll root for until the last page - perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune and Christina Lauren.
