Lies and Sorcery


The first unabridged English translation of the electrifying novel of secrets and delusions, from one of the greatest Italian writers of the twentieth century. Elisa – orphaned as a child, raised by a ‘fallen woman’, fed by fairy tales – has lived in an outlandish imaginary world for years. When her guardian dies, she feels compelled to confront her family’s tortured and dramatic past, weaving the tale of her mother and grandmother through a history of intrigue, treachery, deception and desire. But as her saga of three generations of Sicilian women proceeds, it becomes something else entirely, taking in a whole legacy of oppression and injustice. By turns flamboyant and intense, raging and funny, Lies and Sorcery is a celebration of the female imagination, and the power of storytelling itself. First published in 1948, Elsa Morante’s debut novel won the Viareggio Prize and earned her the lasting admiration of generations of writers from Italo Calvino and Natalia Ginzburg to Elena Ferrante.

One might say that Fox is haunted by the spirit of the place and time of which she writes, and she is able to reproduce in a remarkable way that sense of foreboding and mystery that all of us have experienced."

Caught in a tense struggle between the growth of the university and industrial expansion, its fate veers towards the uncanny when a discovery is made beneath the old town hall. Into the possession of the university comes the skeleton of a woman, found buried along with a mysterious tablet bearing a cryptic message, and as the ratcheting tension between the townspeople is compounded by an unseasonal heat and sightings of a shadowlike figure haunting the streets, the vengeful grip of a long-buried curse pushes the town towards a night of flames and carnage.

Tieň nad lesom


Keď sa vo veľkom mravenisku nad obcou S. v oblasti Jämtland nájde mŕtve telo, kriminalistom v Strömsunde príde na pomoc s vyšetrovaním Olivia Rönningová. Nájdenému mŕtvemu telu chýba hlava. Odtlačky prstov obete sa nenachádzajú v žiadnom úradnom registri a v tejto oblasti už vyše dvadsať rokov nenahlásili zmiznutie osoby. Miesto hrozného nálezu sa nachádza neďaleko starého kultového miesta, kde forenzní technici objavia stopy krvi. Obcou S. sa šíri nepokoj. Nikto sa neopováži chodiť do lesa za bieleho dňa, nieto ešte po zotmení. Hoci v minulosti sa obec takmer vyľudnila, v priebehu posledných desaťročí sa opäť zaplnila novými obyvateľmi, ochrancami prírody, Štokholmčanmi aj Holanďanmi. Obyvatelia akceptovali cudzincov aj čudákov. A Bolundovci, rodina neonacistov, sa držali v úzadí. Dobré vzťahy, panujúce v obci, sú zrazu ohrozené. Miestni obyvatelia nespolupracujú a čoraz neochotnejšie odpovedajú na Oliviine otázky. Na vyriešenie záhady si napokon musí prizvať na pomoc Toma Stiltona a Mette Olsäterovú. Preklad zo švédskeho originálu Skugga över Slagtjärn (Norstedts, Stockholm, 2025) Mária Bratová.

Hon na sestry


Chodili von, keď nemali, boli príliš slobodné a toto všetko je ich trest. Dedina Little Nettlebed je presiaknutá tajomstvami. Havrany tu sedávajú na strechách domov tých, ktorí čoskoro zomrú a v noci sa ozýva prenikavé štekanie psov. Keď jeden z dedinčanov začne tvrdiť, že videl päť sestier premeniť sa na psy priamo pred jeho očami, medzi miestnymi nastane panika a nezvyčajný strach. Hoci ich viera v čarodejníctvo slabne, odpor k odlišnosti je stále silný. Protichodné pohľady obyvateľov vedú k rovnakému záveru. V Little Nettlebed niečo nie je v poriadku a sestry za to zaplatia. Hon na sestry oslavuje vybočenie z konvencií a kladie otázku, či v tomto svete nie je bezpečnejšie byť psom ako nezvyčajným mladým dievčaťom. Z anglického originálu The Hounding (Penguin Random House UK, 2025) preložila Michaela Meňhartová.
