Spřízněná duše


Gabe a Pippa bydlí na krásném místě s výhledem na moře, jejich vysněný domov se však pojí i s čímsi ponurým. Vysoké útesy poblíž jsou častým posledním útočištěm pro ty, kdo se rozhodli skoncovat se životem. V posledních měsících Gabe dělá, co může, aby příchozím jejich zoufalý záměr vymluvil. Jenže pak se mu to jednou nepovede. Když se Pippa dozví, že se Gabe s obětí znal, začnou se vynořovat otázky. Co se se zesnulou osobou stalo? Skočila? Někdo ji strčil? A je možné, že by Pippě Gabe, její spřízněná duše, lhal? Temná tajemství se pomalu odkrývají a na dokonalé fasádě jednoho manželství se objevují trhliny. Protože ty nejpřesvědčivější lži někdy říkáme sami sobě.

Nejdelší z cest


Co zbývá spisovateli, když ho válka vytáhne z pracovny a vynese do vzduchu, do cizí země, do naprostého „nikde“ mezi nebem a zemí, a stopne ho? Paměť. Jazyk. Zásoba neodvyprávěných příběhů. Toto je esej, v níž se Oksana Zabužko zamýšlí nad počátky dnešní rusko-ukrajinské války ve dvou časových dimenzích — třicetileté a třísetleté — a prokládá je vlastními vzpomínkami na to, jak nevyčíslitelná suma lidského snažení může změnit běh dějin.

Hry - Archimedův zákon, Bouřlivé časy, Nejhezčí tělo,jaké se kdy na tomhle světě najde


„Je tohle pěkné místo pro život?, ptá se Agáta ve hře Bouřlivé časy a nemá na mysli krajinu nebo architekturu. I já se ptám, jestli jsme si dokázali stvořit pěkné místo pro život — když tisíce lidí umírají ve snaze doplout k našim břehům, když bez přestání krvácí další a další oběti domácího násilí, když občany dělíme do první a druhé kategorie, když radši zachraňujeme banky než lidi a když umělcům běžně upíráme právo na svobodu projevu“, s těmito slovy přebíral Josep Maria Miró i Coromina (1977) španělskou výroční cenu MAX za nejlepší divadelní hru roku 2018. Bouřlivé časy, stejně jako další dvě hry obsažené v tomto svazku, odrážejí autorovu velikou a univerzalistickou lásku k lidem a jejich příběhům. Josep Maria Miró je bezesporu jedním z celosvětově nejúspěšnějších dramatiků současného Španělska. Vedle ceny Max je držitelem nejvyššího španělského ocenění — Národní ceny za dramatickou literaturu — a jako jediný autor v historii si celkem třikrát odnesl prestižní Premi Born, kterou porota uděluje na základě četby anonymizovaných textů. Ve svých hrách se Josep Maria věnuje palčivým otázkám současnosti, přitom ale dramatickou literaturu ani v náznaku neredukuje na mýdlové programní nebo politické kolbiště. Jeho hry jsou plné nevyřčených vět a stokrát zpochybněných odpovědí, tajemství, znepokojivých obrazů, jeho postavy bojují o sebeurčení, o právo na vlastní život. Na malém prostoru jednoho městečka, jednoho obytného bloku nebo dokonce plavecké šatny se ve skutečnosti hraje o společné příběhy nás všech.

PlastiX


A hatalom bűzlik. Én pedig gondoskodom róla, hogy mindenki érezze a szagát. Isabela Corvellan vagyok. A nemzet botrányhősnője, a miniszterelnök legrosszabb rémálma és a lázadás élő szobra. Megtanultam, hogy a provokáció az egyetlen fegyverem, amivel sebet ejthetek apám tökéletesre csiszolt látszatbirodalmán. A sorsomat már rég megírták helyettem, nekem csupán a rombolás maradt, mielőtt a rendszer végleg elnyel. Aztán kaptam egy árnyékot, aki látja minden hazugságomat. Alerio Cruz nem kérdez, csak parancsol. Ő nem a védelmezőm, hanem a börtönőröm, aki nem pusztán megfékezni, hanem uralni akar. Én viszont nem hátrálok, inkább hergelem a benne lakozó démont. A hűség alku tárgya, a bűn az a nyelv, amely összeköt minket egy olyan világban, ahol a végén mindenki megfizet a tetteiért. Mert ebben a játszmában a hatalomnak nincs határa, a vágynak nincs gátja, és néha épp az ellenséged kezében van a szabadságod kulcsa. Lenora Sandell regénye a sötétségbe csábít minket. De vajon ott mi vár ránk? Boldogság vagy örök kárhozat?

The Witch


In a small, sleepy town, a mediocre witch, in a mediocre marriage, tries to pass on her gifts to her twin daughters, who, it becomes immediately apparent, have skills far beyond her own. 'NDiaye at her most dazzling' Katie Kitamura'This is NDiaye at her disquieting best' New York MagazineLucie comes from a long line of witches, powers passed down from mother to daughter. Her own mum was formidable in her powers, but ashamed of her magic. Perhaps as a result, Lucie's own gift is weak: she can see into the future, sometimes - but more often, she can only see the present of some other location. Not very useful. And the worst part? All she can ever see are insignificant details - a scrap of outfit, the colour of the sky. Lucie's own children are initiated into their family's peculiar womanhood when they reach twelve years of age, and in a few short months, Maud and Lise are crying the curious tears of blood that denote their magical powers. Having learned, they take off quickly and fly the nest. Literally. Witty, dreamlike, vaguely unsettling, and utterly enchanting (pun intended), The Witch brings the mysteries of womanhood and motherhood into sharp relief and leaves us teetering on the edge, unbalanced by questions as seemingly unbreakable relationships break down left and right. Who is to blame for family failures? And how can you - can you? - build a nest that no one wants to fly?

When his uncle gives him a roof over his head after ten years in foster care, Ronan uses this second chance to become a vigilante, walking the streets of Santa Cruz to keep the nightmares at bay. If he can use his anger to protect instead of hurt, maybe he'll find the absolution he seeks. Then he meets Shiloh. Shiloh Barrera looks like she has it all together. Smart, ambitious, and full of creativity she channels into making one-of-a-kind jewellery.

Falling in love is an impossible pipe dream saved for those less damaged, but as hard as they try to resist, the feelings between them seem inevitable…until one terrible night destroys Shiloh's dreams and Ronan's future. When the smoke clears and the rubble settles, they'll have to choose: do their pasts determine their future, or can they build a new one from the broken pieces of their hearts? The third and final chapter in Emma Scott's Lost Boys series is a slow-burn, high-stakes YA romance that offers a dramatic and satisfying conclusion to this special series of interconnected stories.

The Perfect Circle


In the round house on Via Saterna in Milan, its Palladian square exterior nothing but a trompe-l'oeil, the sun pierces through the central skylight. Its rays pass three floors unobstructed, before reaching the circle below at the heart of the house: four fingers of water filling a little silver basin. It is here that young Lidia dies, setting an end to her clandestine love affair with the ambitious architect. It is this house that real-estate agent Irene is asked to sell, decades later, as the climate catastrophe escalates, cloaking the divided city in a permanent orange haze. As she faces this new Milan, Irene throws herself into the impossible sale, getting to know Via Saterna intimately-this space that is as unsettling as it is hostile, with the slowly emerging traces of Lidia's interrupted life. In every room of the house, the burden of a mysterious, unresolved past can be felt, remnants of a selfish and manipulative love. The Perfect Circle is a subtly disturbing page-turner, every new page adding a new layer and twist.
