Vrbětice. Ruská operace, která změnila Česko
V knize Vrbětice: ruská operace, která změnila Česko vypráví investigativní novinář týdeníku Respekt Jaroslav Spurný napínavý příběh o pátrání novinářů po strůjcích výbuchů muničních skladů ve Vrběticích. Útok ruské zpravodajské jednotky na českém území v roce 2014, který měl na svědomí dvě oběti a obrovské materiální škody, dává kniha na základě zjištěných faktů a indicií do souvislosti se zájmem Kremlu získat znovu vliv v bývalých satelitech někdejšího Sovětského svazu, včetně Česka.
Autor popisuje nejen tuzemské vyšetřování vrbětického případu, ale také související aktivity GRU, ruské vojenské zpravodajské služby, od doby sovětské okupace Československa až po současnost. Přibližuje, jak Rusko organizuje v Česku a dalších evropských zemích svou pátou kolonu a diverzní, kybernetické, dezinformační, ekonomické a subverzivní operace tajných služeb, které mají podpořit imperiální zájem Kremlu.
Součástí publikace jsou dosud nezveřejněné rozhovory s ředitelem BIS Michalem Koudelkou a ředitelem NCOZ Jiřím Mazánkem vzniklé exkluzivně pro tuto knihu.
Slovo jako inkoust a prožitek
Dnešní intelektuál, redukován na beztělesný intelekt, konzumuje informace jako data, která posléze zpracovává – stejně jako to činí AI, která jednoduše zrcadlí naši vlastní skutečnost. Tento odosobněný a mechanický způsob bytí je ideálem současného vzdělávání – tj. vzdělávání, které pod falešnou rouškou objektivity nekultivuje kulturu ani osobnosti, nýbrž vytváří pouhého teoretického člověka a teoretickou znalost kultury. Zaposloucháme-li se však do velikánů minulosti, zaslechneme, že kulturou se míní především vášeň – vyvstávající v niternosti, subjektivitě, činu a existenciálním zápase.
Svět jako inkoust a prožitek reflektuje povrchní kulturu, limity rozumu, svůdnou moc jazyka a nástrahy moderního vzdělávání. Je pozvánkou pro čtenáře, aby prozkoumával nové formy porozumění svému já a světu, které bude zakořeněno v subjektivitě, introspekci a žité zkušenosti. Současné formy diskurzu nejen na akademické půdě, ale také v běžném životě vyústily v prázdnou hru vyznačující se nekonečným přehazováním slov. Je zde však někdo, kdo by se zaručil za platnost těchto slov vlastní niternou zkušeností? Tato kniha je voláním po osvobození se ze současné ošemetné situace, a to tak, že zboříme vyprázdněnou modlu jazyka, abychom mohli prožít smysl.
„Člověčenství bez zápalu pro omámení – Kam poděli se ctitelé vína?“ lamentuje perský mystik Haféz. Dionýsus, Kristus, Rumí nebo Nietzsche – všichni tito velikáni nás opakovaně zvou k velké hostině, při níž se podává mystické víno Existence. Díky němu se konečně vnoříme do zahrady Bytí, kde hoří žár mystiky. Avšak kdo má dostatek vášně a touhy stát se ctitelem takového vína?
Open Wide
Open Wide will quite literally get under your skin - a weird, electrifyingly original love story about the mad, troubling and vulnerable things we do to get close to others
Olive is desperate to get close to Theo - really, really close.
Despite being a radio host, she's always struggled to connect with people. And now she's in her thirties, single, and so flustered by relationships that she secretly records her conversations, hoping to decipher social clues and find a way to be less alone.
Then Theo turns up for a shift at the food pantry where she volunteers. He's a surgeon fascinated by human organs, a former football player, and possibly as weird as Olive. For the first time, someone seems to crave and understand her.
Every recording Olive makes of Theo is a balm - which just makes her more afraid of losing him. The only solution seems to be to bind him to her forever. Luckily, the gap between Theo's front teeth is just wide enough for something - or someone - to slip inside.
The Peepshow
In 1953, the bodies of three young women are found by a tenant in the walls of a Notting Hill house. He tells the police that he chanced upon them while trying to put up a shelf for his transistor radio.
As a series of further horrors are discovered, the eyes of a nation turn to 10 Rillington Place.
In this riveting tale of violence, misogyny and tabloid frenzy, Kate Summerscale lifts the veil on what really happened inside the house - and suggests a new solution to one of the twentieth century's most notorious crimes.
Catalina
'In Garcia Márquez, people in love experienced bouts of vomiting, psychosomatic fevers and real catatonia. I wanted to make boys sick, too. This is how I wanted to be loved.'
When Catalina, a witty, vulnerable and beautiful Ecuadorian student, arrives at Harvard, she feels like one of the chosen. She is a miracle child who has escaped death in Latin America to be raised by undocumented grandparents and now studies at the most prestigious university in the world. She knows she has to play the part, but she also wants to have a good time in the process. And so begins her era of opulent parties, secret societies, desirable internships, flings with rich men and plenty of vodka sodas.
But in her final year, undocumented immigrants become the target of political turmoil and Catalina's life back in New York begins to unravel. As the clock ticks on the precarious future of her family, what will she sacrifice to save the people she loves the most?
Catalina is a daring, glamorous and sharply observed campus novel about coming into your own and the endless possibilities of freedom, love and power.
This Kind of Trouble
A riveting, emotionally-charged tale of forbidden love, centred on an estranged couple who are brought together to reckon with the events that tore their family apart decades ago.
In 1960s Lagos, a city enlivened with its newfound Independence, headstrong Margaret meets British-born Benjamin, a man seeking his ancestral roots after the death of his half-Nigerian father. Their connection is immediate, but as the two begin to fall in love, they discover that their pasts are more interwoven than they imagined due to a series of devastating events that transpired in their ancestral community. The shadow of these events, combined with Margaret's deteriorating mental health eventually tear them apart.
By 2005, the couple have been estranged for forty years. Margaret has retired to an upscale gated community in Lagos, and seemingly happy Benjamin lives alone in Atlanta, managing his heart problems but feeling unmoored when faced with the question of who to name as his next of kin. But their attempt at a settled life is shattered when their grandson begins to show ominous signs that echo the struggles Margaret once faced. Now, Margaret and Benjamin must finally reunite to confront the buried secrets that they had dismissed in the passion of their youth-secrets that continue to ripple through their family. Their reunion becomes a journey into the past-one that forces them to grapple with both the personal and ancestral burdens that have followed them through generations.
A startling and propulsive tale of forbidden love, THIS KIND OF TROUBLE traces the intertwined legacies of one family's history, exploring the complex relationship between tradition, modernity and the ways we seek healing in a changing world. Spanning a tumultuous century, the story moves us to consider the ways we are beholden to the past and what we owe the future. With this debut novel, Tochi Eze announces herself as a dazzling new literary voice in world literature.
Mina's Matchbox
On sleepless nights, I open the matchbox and reread the story of the girl who gathered shooting stars.
After the death of her father, twelve-year-old Tomoko is sent to live for a year with her uncle in the coastal town of Ashiya. It is a year which will change her life.
While the 1970s transform Japan, her uncle's magnificent colonial mansion is a place out of time; its sprawling gardens are even home to a pet pygmy hippo. Equally beguiling are Tomoko's relatives, especially her cousin Mina. Their growing friendship draws her into an intoxicating world - one full of secret crushes and elaborate storytelling.
Rich with the magic and mystery of youth, Mina's Matchbox is an evocative snapshot of a moment frozen in time, and a striking depiction of a family on the edge of collapse.

The Farmhouse
Every woman who has lived on this farm has died. Emily just moved in.
When Emily Hauk's mother dies, it's time for her and her husband, Josh, to finally leave San Francisco. A farm in rural Nebraska is everything they want for a fresh start: clear skies, low costs, and distance from the grief back home.
They should have asked why the farm was for sale.
Three years ago, a teenage girl went missing from the farm. Soon after, the girl's mother mysteriously died. The deeper Emily digs, the more stories she finds of women with a connection to her new home who've met their own dark ends.
The farmhouse was meant to be Emily's fresh start, but with each passing day, her sanctuary slips further away. The barn seems to move throughout her property, as though chasing her. Her mother's favorite music drifts across the corn. She swears she saw blood in one of the farmhand's trucks. And the screams that wake her are not foxes, no matter how many times her husband says otherwise.
Despite Josh's skepticism, Emily feels the darkness that has seeped into the soil of her farm. And if she wants to claim this place as her own, she'll have to find the truth before whatever watches from the cornfield takes her too.

Roadkill
From a prize-winning new voice in Korean fiction, with roots in feminist SFF, these exhilarating stories will transport you to strange new worlds, celebrating young women striving for their independence and self-expression
In a near future where women are an endangered minority, two young friends try to break free from a facility designed for those few who can still give birth. Every year in a secluded seaside village, a maiden is sacrificed to a divine sea serpent. Elsewhere, the last female shaman of an indigenous tribe tells her stories to a visiting research team. And in South Korea's Alps Grand Park, the residents exist in an exclusive world dominated by giant air purifier towers as others are left to live in the shade.
The women in these stories find themselves trapped - by circumstance, society or tradition - as they fight for a means of escape. This sweeping and subversive collection celebrates their strength and their courage, their desire for independence and self-expression.

Dear Oliver
Published to celebrate the life of Oliver Sacks, 10 years after his death 'A must-read for all the people who loved Oliver Sacks's books. The ending made me cry' Temple Grandin"Dear Dr. Sacks . . . You asked me if I could imagine what the world would look like when viewed with two eyes.
I told you that I thought I could . . .
But, I was wrong."When Susan Barry first wrote to Oliver Sacks, she never expected a response, let alone the friendship that blossomed over ten years of letters. Sue, herself a neuroscientist, wrote to share an extraordinary development in her own medical history. Born with problems with her vision, Sue had been told she would never acquire the ability to see in 3D - and yet she did, a development at odds with decades of research.
Within days, Oliver replied, "Your letter fills me with amazement and admiration."Sharing an interest in visual perception and a deep love of science, Sue and Oliver began exchanging letters, delving deeper into the mysteries of sight and marvelling at the adaptive capacity of the human body. But in a painful twist of fate, as Sue's vision improved, Oliver's declined, and his characteristic typed letters shifted to handwritten. Sue later recognised this as an early sign of the cancer that ultimately ended his extraordinary life.
A funny and intimate glimpse of the great Oliver Sacks, Dear Oliver is also a love letter to scientific inquiry, and a testimony to the power of friendship at any time in life.
The Man I Loved Before
Some people go their whole lives without finding the one, but Jenny and Joe always knew they were meant to be. Until they weren't. A freak accident is all it takes to tear them apart.
But Jenny has a secret. Joe never left. He's spent the past five months visiting her whenever she's alone, seemingly just as real - if a little less solid - as ever.
Desperate to spend every waking minute with him, Jenny increasingly isolates herself from her friends and family. But everything starts to change when she meets Luca, the guy now living in her and Joe's old flat.
It's certainly not love at first sight - in fact, they can't stand to be in the same room as each other - but as circumstances throw them together time and time again, Jenny is forced to rejoin the world, and it's not long before she finds herself having fun - something she hasn't been able to do for a very long time.
And then the realisation hits: the more time she spends with Luca, the less Joe appears.
Jenny knows she has a choice to make.
But how will she ever let go of the man she loved before?
