Open, Heaven
James dreams of another life far away from his small village. Almost an adult, his newfound desires threaten to unravel his shy exterior.
Then he meets Luke. Unkempt and handsome, charismatic and impulsive, he has been sent to stay with his aunt and uncle on a nearby farm. With the passing seasons, a bond emerges between them that transforms their lives.
Yet James is never sure of Luke’s true feelings and as the end of summer nears, he has a choice to make: will he risk everything for the possibility of love?
City of Rats
Welcome to the gutters of 1970s Paris – and the anarchic, darkly comic world of City of Rats. When pet rat Gouri finds himself locked out of his owner’s apartment, he has no choice but to strike out alone onto the pavements of Paris. But what begins as a strange and marvellous bedtime story - Gouri and his new friend Raka selling flour-coated worms to pigeons for spare change - soon spirals into an exhilarating whirlwind of murder, sex, unionised hamsters, courtroom drama, and, finally, Armageddon.
Told through a series of letters from Gouri to Argentinian playwright Copi, City of Rats channels Copi’s lifelong fascination with society’s outcasts - queer people, immigrants, the homeless, and criminals - into a fiercely imaginative, unflinchingly provocative tale of a world hurtling into madness.

Krkonošští rodáci vzpomínají 6
Krkonoše si lidé často spojují jen s krajinou, která je však i krajinou paměti. Je to svět, do kterého se po staletí otiskovala práce, jazyk, víra, řemeslo i každodenní starosti. A právě proto má smysl chránit vedle přírodních hodnot i paměť místních lidí.
V šestém díle Krkonošští rodáci vzpomínají najdeme životní příběh Franze Brauna z Rýchor, který si jako kluk pamatuje, jak v roce 1938 na jejich louce stavěli čeští vojáci obranné bunkry. Přečtete si muzikantské historky trumpetisty Karla Pičmana, který mimo jiné s kapelou vítal v květnu 1945 Rudou armádu nebo nepříliš veselý odchod rodiny paní Helgy Schulze-Fischer z rodných Vítkovic.
Kniha navazuje na dlouhodobou práci Libora Duška – badatele a autora, který umí dějiny vyprávět tak, aby nezůstaly jen v archivech. Jeho síla je v umění ptát se, naslouchat a zpracovat vzpomínky zpovídaného pamětníka. Zároveň nejde o pouhé vzpomínání. Jeho profesní svět se opírá o poctivou práci s prameny, místem a kontextem.
Když je spolkly vlny
První pravidlo záchrany zní: Nezvyšuj počet obětí. Grace právě potkala nejhorší noční můra každého učitele. Po náročném dni v australské divočině stojí na břehu rozbouřeného oceánu a pozoruje, jak tři studenty unáší silné proudy na otevřené moře.
Během několikadenní exkurze do australské divočiny, kde se středoškoláci seznamují s přežitím daleko od civilizace, dostane skupina náctiletých chlapců nápad: rozhodnou se nenápadně uniknout pozornosti pedagogů a zaplavat si v oceánu. Ve chvíli, kdy je učitelka Grace spatří, jsou již daleko od břehu a Grace jako záchranářka ví, že pomoci jim by znamenalo riskovat vlastní život. Má zůstat na břehu, nebo se pokusit o nemožné a téměř jistě zahynout v předem prohraném boji?
V chaosu následujících dnů se Grace musí postavit truchlícím rodičům a na povrch začnou vyplouvat nové skutečnosti. Kdo chlapcům našeptal smrtící dobrodružství? Kdo může za jejich smrt? Komu může Grace ještě věřit?
Strhující psychologický thriller z australského pobřeží vznikl na základě osobní zkušenosti autora, středoškolského lektora pobytů ve volné přírodě a dobrovolného záchranáře.
Vychází v překladu Jakuba Laxara.
An Island Burning
'Warm, funny and beguiling, authentically infused with salt spray and whisky fumes' - Chris Brookmyre'Vivid and exciting . . . a gripping read' - Alexander McCall SmithBurns Night, January 2000. In the early days of the new millennium, two burnt-out cars are discovered on a barren glen on the Isle of Mull. Inside them, only teeth and bones. Meanwhile, Ivor Punch is busy policing a protest when he meets a strange visitor purporting to be Robert Louis Stevenson, who speaks of an island that appears only twice a century. As smoke fills the air and bodies are discovered, Sergeant Punch searches for the crux of the mystery by looking to the past. Amid peculiar forces at play, a freshly moored ferry full of curious characters and a Burns Night play to set the evening alight, Punch needs to decipher what is real or imagined - before the island falls into chaos. From multi-award-winning author and musician, Colin MacIntyre, aka Mull Historical Society.

Son of Nobody

When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs. In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem The Psoad, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'. As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its modern footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition and grief. In this masterpiece of myth and history, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.

While two men were convicted of the murder in 2019, it was clear they were just carrying out orders.

The Palm House
Laura Miller and Edmund Putnam have been friends for a long time. Theirs is a happy meeting of minds, with long evenings spent huddled in an ancient pub by the Thames, where they share office gossip, reflect on their teenage passions, and lament the state of the world.
Recently, though, Putnam has been harder to reach: he has lost his father, and the magazine to which he has dedicated his life has been hijacked by an insufferable new editor, Simon ‘call me Shove’ Halfpenny.
Laura has her own problems: with a prickly mother and a tricky past, and in a beautiful and indifferent city, her day-to-day life is precarious. But as Putnam starts to sink into despondency, she must try to bring him back.
A novel of enduring friendships and small mercies, The Palm House offers us Gwendoline Riley’s trademark keen observation and wit, and leaves us - somehow - with a curious sense of possibility.

Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče
Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče je zbierka ôsmich poviedok. Okrem typických autorových textov sú súčasťou zbierky aj iné zvláštne poviedky. Niektoré akoby tvorili voľné série, ale nie sú radené za sebou. Jednu z týchto sérií tvoria tri veselé nezáväzné poviedky o netalentovanom spisovateľovi Kúcanskom, hrdinovi našich socialistických i postsocialistických čias. V knihe nájdete texty, v ktorých je Vilikovský osobnejší, s ambíciou dopátrať sa zmyslu a citu v situáciách, kde očividne absentujú. V roku 2006 v prvom ročníku ceny Anasoft litera Pavel Vilikovský za túto knihu získal hlavnú cenu.

Román Štefana Horáka balancuje na pomezí beletrie a žánru true crime – soustředí se na vnitřní svět dospívajícího chlapce, který se postupně propadá do násilí. Kniha není rekonstrukcí zločinů spartakiádního vraha, ale ponorem do jeho myšlení: do jeho osamění, fantazií, potlačeného hněvu i pokřiveného vnímání reality. Na pozadí normalizační společnosti sleduje, jak se rodí temnota v hlavě člověka, který zůstává pro své okolí zcela neviditelný — až do chvíle, kdy už je příliš pozdě.

The History of the Vertebrate
‘On 20 December 2015 I became a mother and I went mad.’On a single day, Mar García Puig gives birth to twins and becomes elected to the Spanish Parliament as a member of the insurgent left-wing party Podemos. What might have been the best day of her life becomes the start of a terrifying ordeal; García Puig’s grip on reality begins to slip as she grapples with uncertainty, the weight of expectation, and misogyny in both of her new roles. In defiance of a culture that tells her the problem lies within, García Puig chooses to look outwards, examining the imbrication of madness and motherhood across centuries of science, myth, and politics while dissecting the ways in which women have been pathologized and banished from public life. At once intimate and epic, The History of the Vertebrate is a searing account of postpartum madness. Moving between memory, culture, and the history of medicine, García Puig transforms her experience into a story about the countless women who have felt that sanity was leaving them, and about the patriarchal forces that have silenced them.
