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.

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.
Spartakiádní vrah
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 Heir and the Spare
Once, I’d spent my life in the tunnels beneath the mountains. As one of the infants taken from Alfheimr, I spent twelve lifetimes hidden away in the tunnels of the Resistance with a Lunar Witch to watch over me. I knew the truth of my existence and when the Veil fell, my discovery became inevitable. Then, the Fae had come to bring me home to the land of Faerie. When the God of the Dead brought his human mate back to the tunnels after revealing the truth of his identity, he did so with the intent to return me to Mab. The Queen of Air and Darkness has waited centuries to find me on the other side of the Veil of Flesh and Bone, and she had sent her favorite weapon to do it. But I never expected to love Estrella the way I did, to feel the sisterly bond between us as if it had never been interrupted in our lifetimes apart. Now, they’ve bound me to a man I never asked for—a husband I didn’t want. Mab sees love as a weakness, and uses my bond with Estrella to manipulate me into a betrothal I never desired. I see this marriage as a cage, as a means of control that goes against everything within me. But when Mab kills the Summer King and sends Estrella into Tartarus, Etan leaves me no choice but to flee Tar Mesa and journey to the Summer Court to take the throne at his side. No matter what I leave behind.

Visszatérés
Ez a csodálatos könyv a veszteségről, az újrakezdésről és az önmagunk felé vezető útról szól, arról, hogy a gyógyulás gyakran akkor kezdődik, amikor végre hagyjuk, hogy mások is belépjenek a világunkba.
A húszéves Ambre szerelmes, Philippe viszont házas, és csupán szeretőt keres. A lányt egy év után felemészti az érzelmileg egyre megterhelőbb, egyre kilátástalanabbá váló kapcsolat, és öngyilkosságot kísérel meg. Túléli, de az igazi gyógyulás reménytelenül távolinak tűnik. Ha nem is könnyen, Ambre elfogadja a Philippe által tulajdonképpen mindkettejük számára menekülőutat jelentő megoldást, és a téli szezonra elszegődik felszolgálónak egy eldugott, alpokbeli panzióba.
A gyönyörű táj, a munkatársak, az új barátok támogatása lassan megmozdít benne valamit. Fokozatosan ráébred, hogy az életben nem csupán romboló kapcsolatok létezhetnek, mert vannak emberek, akik bár maguk is gondokkal, traumákkal küzdenek, tudnak és akarnak is segíteni, és hogy vannak még olyanok, akik előtt nem szégyen gyengének, kétségbeesettnek mutatkoznia, mert ők is vállalják a maguk esendőségét.
Tim, Rosalie, Andréa, Wilson és a többiek, bár a véletlen szeszélye sodorta őket össze Arvieux-ben, fél év múltán már igazi közösségként fogják elbúcsúztatni a téli szezont, Ambre pedig megerősödve kerül ki a kegyetlen erőpróbából: ismét készen áll arra, hogy nyitott szívvel és lélekkel fogadja be a világot, az embereket.
Ködös Balaton
A végzős gimnazista Lovász Petra egy ködös novemberi délutánon futni indul a balatonfüredi Tagore sétányon, de soha nem ér haza. A rendőrség hiába kutatja át utána a tópartot, csupán egy fél pár cipőt találnak; a lánynak nyoma veszett. Az emberrablás mellett hamar felmerül annak a lehetősége is, hogy Petra önszántából távozott, amikor azonban kiderül, hogy az édesapja a szovjet űrprogram egyik kutatója, az eset az Országos Rendőr-főkapitányságon landol. Bogdán főhadnagy Adorján Mátéval és a férfi pszichiáter kedvesével, Lendvay Laurával karöltve azonnal beleveti magát az ügy felgöngyölítésébe. Nyomokból és gyanúsítottakból nincs hiány, ám úgy tűnik, mind zsákutcába vezet. Vajon hová tűnhetett a lány? Egyáltalán életben van-e még? És ha igen, sikerül a rendőrségnek időben a nyomára bukkannia?

Hét perc
Egy elmélet szerint, életünk végén hét percet kapunk, hogy újra átéljük a legszebb
pillanatainkat.
De vajon ez tényleg igaz?
Chloe Langford
Életem egyik legnagyobb tragédiája után döntöttem úgy, hogy pszichológia szakon fogok
továbbtanulni. Azt hittem, hogy segít majd kiismerni az embereket, de aztán szembesültem a
ténnyel, hogy a barátom megcsalt, ami egyáltalán nem tett jót az önbizalmamnak. Ám ha nem
történt volna meg azon a bizonyos estén a szakítás, talán sosem találkozom azzal a fiúval, aki
nemcsak segít visszanyerni a valódi énem, de második esélyt is ad, hogy egy múltbeli hibámat
kijavítsam.
Lance Blackburn
A család fekete bárányának lenni szívás. A hétköznapjaim szürkék; általában családi vitákat
hallgatok, amik rendszerint miattam robbannak ki, mivel nem vagyok olyan szorgalmas, mint
az öcsém. Mi több, a kudarc tökéletes példája vagyok, aki a filozófiaórái helyett inkább a
városban motorozik. Nincsenek hosszú távú céljaim, elképzelni sem tudom az öt évvel
későbbi énem. A sebesség az egyetlen menedékem, ami kitisztítja a fejem, és ami nélkül nem
ismertem volna meg azt a lányt, aki színt hoz a sivár életembe.
Talán a sors nem véletlenül sodor egymás mellé két embert.
