Behind White Picket Fences


Fusing page-turning suspense with keenly observed humor, this homage to female friendship explores the hamster wheel of modern motherhood, and the consequences for jumping off. Kiersten Cleaver feels like she’s flunking Motherhood 101. Exhausted by travel sports, homework, and her son’s dyslexia, she joins forces with her neighbors, Rosamund and Piper, to drop out of the scholastic rat race for one year. Together, they start the Beaverbrook Academy for Inquiring Minds in Kiersten’s kitchen, embarking on a journey back to the idyllic life they experienced as children, when phones were attached to the wall and kids played outside until the streetlights came on at dusk. But the women quickly realize fractions aren’t their only problem. A sixty-year-old diary discovered in Kiersten’s basement raises unsettling questions about their neighborhood, their safety, and the seemingly simpler past. Their picture-perfect suburb disguises deadly secrets—and someone wants to keep them hidden. As unsettling events rattle their fragile utopia, Kiersten, Rosamund, and Piper face an impossible choice. And if they expose the truth, they put everything at risk: their children, their friendship, and their newfound community.

Lekce předstírání


Athalia Pressleyová po ničem netouží víc než po náklonnosti svého dvojčete. Od smrti jejich rodičů jí totiž Henry moc pozornosti nevěnuje – až do chvíle, kdy jí ve škole začne hrozit propadnutí a ona potřebuje doučování. To ji přivede do náruče Henryho nepřítele, univerzitního premianta Dylana. Athalia se náhle začne těšit Henryho plné pozornosti – a pokud si ji chce udržet, bude potřebovat pomoc Dylana McCarthyho Williamse. Dylana, bratrova rivala z fotbalového týmu, Athalia zrovna dvakrát nemusí – vadí jí jeho uhlazené poznámky, sebevědomý tón i vševědoucí chování. Nepomáhá ani jeho perfektní účes, zasněné hluboké oči nebo vysportované tělo univerzitního fotbalisty. Athalia touží jen získat zpátky Henryho, a tak s Dylanem uzavřou dohodu o fejkovém randění, aby ho provokovali. To se jim však naprosto vymkne z ruky. Účelová dohoda se postupně mění v osudovou přitažlivost plnou vtipných a dojemných situací. Z předstírané lásky se postupně zrodí láska opravdová a Athalia s Dylanem a Henrym odpočítávají vteřiny do Nového roku na velkém silvestrovském večírku…

Fleet of Ghosts


Ever since the World War II-era destroyer USS Walker was marooned on a strange alternate Earth, naturalist Courtney Bradford has been eager to fully explore the planet. Now that the war with the Alliance''s enemies has settled into an uneasy peace, he is given leave to organize the Corps of Discovery, a motley company formed of veterans of the Great War from all over the Alliance. On board the rebuilt Walker, they set out to investigate reports of a region in the Pacific where ships have gone missing and a terrible bright flash of light on the horizon was witnessed. But what they find there is beyond anyone''s imagination: a great battered fleet made up of strange ships. Courtney suspects the rusty armada may have been transported to this world from another, the same way the Walker was four years ago. What none of them know is that the Alliance''s enemies are already aware of these lost ships - and the deadly technology they can harvest from them - and are willing to go to any lengths to steal them. Courtney, his crew of inexperienced cadets, and a handful of lethal commandos are all that stand in the way of another global war - one that the exhausted Grand Alliance simply can''t win.

The Sourdough Compendium


Award-winning stories from the world of All the Murmuring Bones and The Briar Book of the Dead, this is a compendium of fantastic tales from the dark gothic heart of the Sourdough universe. Witches, assassins and pirates are brought to life in immersive, sinister and magical prose. Comprised of three collections (Sourdough and Other Stories, The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings and The Tallow-Wife and Other Tales) these mosaic narratives form much of the foundational mythology for the novels All the Murmuring Bones, The Path of Thorns, The Briar Book of the Dead The Crimson Road and A Forest, Darkly. Within these pages, coffin-makers work hard to keep the dead buried and their own murderous urges in check; poison girls are schooled in the art of marital assassination; books carry forth stories and forbidden secrets; a young witch wreaks a terrible revenge on an old lover; the Little Sisters of St Florian devote their lives to knowledge good and bad; a dying forest god is reinvigorated; mermaids and seamstresses make dangerous bargains; changelings bring havoc. Saints slumber, hind-girls dance across the countryside, bears show their true colours, and the fate of the upper and lower worlds rests on the whim of a volatile plague maiden... Exquisite, compelling and rich with unforgettable characters, these stories layer and intertwine in the dexterous hands of a master storyteller. All three collections were shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award with The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings winning the award. This is beautiful fairy-tale gothic of the most haunting and dangerous kind.

Rights of Man, Common Sense, and Other Political Writings


`An army of principles will penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot . . . it will march on the horizon of the world and it will conquer.'' Thomas Paine was the first international revolutionary. His Common Sense (1776) was the most widely read pamphlet of the American Revolution; his Rights of Man (1791-2) was the most famous defence of the French Revolution and sent out a clarion call for revolution throughout the world. He paid the price for his principles: he was outlawed in Britain, narrowly escaped execution in France, and was villified as an atheist and a Jacobin on his return to America. Paine loathed the unnatural inequalities fostered by the hereditary and monarchical systems. He believed that government must be by and for the people and must limit itself to the protection of their natural rights. But he was not a libertarian: from a commitment to natural rights he generated one of the first blueprints for a welfare state, combining a liberal order of civil rights with egalitarian constraints. This collection brings together Paine''s most powerful political writings from the American and French revolutions in the first fully annotated edition of these works. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
