Deemed useless by her fiance, one woman proves that even without magic and strength, she can save the kingdom through her own skills. After journeying alongside her fiance on his quest to defeat the Demon King, Romelia is suddenly deemed useless and sent home, her engagement annulled. While the prince and his group return as celebrated heroes, Rome goes home as a disgrace. But she's not the same girl who left her province. While following the adventurers, Rome was the only one without magic or strength but she found her own abilities in trade, negotiation, finances, and gathering information. And now, she plans to use these skills to not only help her family's province, but help the still struggling kingdom. The Demon King may be defeated, but his allies and demons continue to roam. With only her wits and brilliance, Rome will build an army of her own and keep the kingdom safe-no matter what it takes.

This is Where the Serpent Lives


Intimate and epic, elegiac and profoundly moving: a tour de force destined to become a classic of contemporary literature‘Set to be a standout novel of 2026 ... Brutal, funny and brilliantly told’ Patrick Gale, Guardian‘All the makings of a classic’ Vogue‘Expect to see this novel all over prize lists in 2026 ... Mueenuddin is a literary magician’ The Times‘Masterful storytelling’ Daily Mail‘A book you'll be hearing about again’ New York Times‘An excoriating epic of class and power’ Observer‘A future classic, pure and simple ... Simply put, the novel is a triumph’ Irish TimesMoving from Pakistan’s sophisticated cities to its most rural farmlands, This Is Where the Serpent Lives captures the extraordinary proximity of extreme wealth to extreme poverty in a land where fate is determined by class and social station. Daniyal Mueenuddin’s This Is Where the Serpent Lives paints a powerful portrait of contemporary feudal Pakistan and a farm on which the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters are linked through violence and love, resilience, and tragedy. Yazid rises from abject poverty to the role of trusted servant to an affluent gangster; Saqib, an errand boy, is eventually trusted to lead his boss’s new farming venture, where he becomes determined to rise above his rank by any means necessary. Saqib’s boss, the wealthy landowner Hisham, reminisces about meeting his wife while she was dating his brother while Gazala, a young teacher, falls for Saqib and his bold promises for their future before learning about his plans to skim money from the farm’s profits. In matters of both business and the heart, Mueenuddin’s characters struggle to choose between the paths that are moral and the paths that will allow them to survive the systems of caste, capital, and social power that so tightly grip their country. ‘Stunning’ Los Angeles Times‘Mueenuddin recalls Chekhov ... But another writer comes to mind as well - Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, whose 1958 The Leopard offers a layered totalizing portrait of a society that is both changing and failing to change. This Is Where the Serpent Lives has that kind of ambition and captures its world in the same exhilarating and unsparing way’ Wall Street Journal‘A work of mosaic structure and expansive power’ Financial Times‘The best fiction to read this year’ New Statesman‘A shining example of the very best literature’ Washington Post‘A Dickensian saga set in modern Pakistan’ Boston Globe

Tajný život


V knize Tajný život (1998, Vie secr?te) se Pascal Quignard noří do hlubin lidské duše a odkrývá vrstvy vnitřního života, které zůstávají skryté před pohledem ostatních – i často před námi samými. V útržkovitých, meditativních textech zkoumá motivy samoty, paměti, touhy a ticha. Quignard propojuje autobiografické reflexe s filozofickými úvahami a kulturními odkazy, čímž vytváří jedinečnou mozaiku intimity a myšlení. Jeho jazyk je zároveň střídmý i lyrický, ztišený i hluboký, a vede čtenáře k pozoruhodnému vnitřnímu rozhovoru o tom, co to znamená být – a být skrytě. Pascal Quignard (1948) je francouzský spisovatel, esejista a překladatel, proslulý svou žánrově nezařaditelnou, mnohovrstevnatou tvorbou oscilující mezi beletrií, filozofií a autobiografií. Působil jako redaktor v nakladatelství Gallimard a jako prezident festivalu barokní hudby ve Versailles. Jeho styl je charakteristický fragmentárností, obrazností a výraznou introspekcí – často zkoumá témata paměti, ticha, sexuality, tělesnosti a jazyka. Nejznámějším autorovým textem je díky filmovému zpracování román Všechna jitra světa (1991); česky dále vyšly Bludné stíny, za něž roku 2002 získal Goncourtovu cenu, a Terasa v Římě (2000). Quignard je považován za jednoho z nejpronikavějších a nejoriginálnějších myslitelů současné francouzské literatury. V noci na 27. ledna 1997 postihla Pascala Quignarda vážná zdravotní příhoda, z níž vyvázl jen o vlas. Tehdy se rozhodl zcela stáhnout z veřejného života a zasvětit se posledním, či v jeho případě prvním věcem člověka: archeologii slova, genealogii citu, etymologii smyslů, a to formou zlomků, úvah vycházejících z četby, lingvistického a jiného bádání. Tak vzniklo Poslední království, jedinečné literární dílo, které k dnešnímu dni čítá dvanáct svazků a jehož je Tajný život, přestože vyšel jako díl osmý, samým počátkem.

The Ballad of the Last Guest


Gregor returns home from another continent. The landscape, formerly dotted with small villages, has been absorbed into the outskirts of a large city, both familiar and foreign at the same time. His father sits playing cards, waiting for him, but Gregor is surprised to find his sister holding an infant. He, the older brother, is to be the child’s godfather - though he also carries with him the secret of his younger brother’s death. In the end, Gregor is never quite able to stay put. He is drawn out into the world, into the streets and alleys of what is now a city, to the cinema, the soccer stadium, the forest, and above all the old fruit orchard, now overgrown and beyond saving. As he walks, the present and the past become intertwined - memories of childhood surface, and inner voices enter into dialogue. Revisiting many of the settings and themes of Peter Handke’s previous works, The Ballad of the Last Guest takes stock of the changes that have been wrought on the land - and on human beings - over the course of the twenty-first century.

Hamnet, 2. vydání


Manželský pár, který žil v osmdesátých letech šestnáctého století v Henley Street ve Stratfordu, měl tři děti, starší Susannu a mladší dvojčata Hamneta a Judith. Hamnet zemřel v roce 1596 ve věku jedenácti let. Zhruba o čtyři roky později napsal jeho otec hru Hamlet. Hamnet se inspiruje životem slavného dramatika. Je to příběh o poutu mezi dvojčaty a o manželství poznamenaném žalem. A také o neobyčejné ženě, jejíž jméno se většinou zmiňuje jen na okraj, o bleše, která se nalodí v Alexandrii, a o synovi rukavičkáře, jenž se pro milovanou ženu vzepře konvencím. Ze všeho nejvíc je to ale něžné a nezapomenutelné vyprávění o chlapci, na nějž se téměř zapomnělo, avšak jeho jméno přetrvává v jedné z nejslavnějších her literární historie. Women's Prize for Fiction 2020 National Book Critics Circle Award 2020 Britský bestseller roku 2020.

Written in Stone


When Delaney wins a special Hidden Door Festival invitation to artist Ryory Bennigan's studio, she isn’t sure quite what to expect. What she finds is an elusive fellow obsessed with the Picts - complete with his own versions of their blue tattoos and vibrant red hair - recreating the stones they left behind. She also meets a visiting paleontologist, Dr. Adam Pace, from the University of Kansas attempting to sell an artifact that might just explain what the Picts' language really sounded like. Or at least that’s what he claimed the artifact was for. Before the deal can close and Ryory can get a closer look at it, Dr. Pace is found dead. With the police dragging their feet in the investigation, Delaney takes it upon herself to dig into Dr. Pace's past. Her research goes murky as she quickly discovers Pace’s shady background - selling fake dinosaur bones and running into some 3D-printing trouble back in Kansas. Could his past have come back to bite him in Edinburgh? And what does his questionable background mean for the mysterious Pictish artifact he was trying to sell to Ryory? Delaney will have to dust off her magnifying glass to uncover the truth behind this case… or risk becoming a pile of bones herself.
