Sto let s Betty
Narodila se do chudé rodiny v předválečném Londýně. Po všech prožitých hrůzách se chopí šance začít nový život jinde a emigruje do Austrálie. Na palubě zaoceánské lodi se spřátelí se třemi lidmi, kteří zásadně ovlivní běh jejího života – Pearl, dobrosrdečnou dívkou do nepohody; Athénou, Řekyní plnou ideálů; a Leem, německým Židem, který kvůli válce přišel o celou rodinu.
V průběhu století plného společenských otřesů nás Betty zavede na australské předměstí 50. let, do předních linií protiválečných protestů a hnutí za svobodná práva žen v 70. letech, doprostřed krize AIDS v 80. letech, do Londýna, Sydney i Mexika.
Sto let s Betty je román o silné, inteligentní ženě, která se narodila příliš brzy na to, aby využila svůj talent, aniž by musela neustále o všechno bojovat. Je o síle mateřství, o rodině, kterou si budujeme, a o tom, jak odhodlání žít naplno se všemi radostmi i strastmi může přinést život, který přesahuje naše nejdivočejší představy.

Zamilovaný vikomt
Jiskřivý, ale i dojemný příběh spletitých lidských osudů dvou osobitých příslušníků londýnské společenské smetánky z počátku 19. století.
V době, kdy se vikomt Dominik Kelbourne stane poručníkem osiřelých dvojčat, je šťastně zasnoubený s vhodnou dámou – dokud mu neuteče. Jelikož Dominik nemá čas dvořit se jiné ženě, rozhodne se, že se ožení s nekonvenční sestrou své bývalé snoubenky. Torie není dokonalá, ale jejich polibky jsou tak vášnivé, že se smetánka domnívá, že si ji vybral. Torie touží po muži, který ji bude brát takovou, jaká je, a bude si jí vážit, avšak provdá se kvůli dvojčatům. Pochybuje, že Dominik je schopen lásky, natož úcty, avšak když se jejich ohnivé debaty změní v něco víc, Torie si začne představovat, že je manželka, ne chůva.
Když vikomt zjistí, že mu jeho vikomtka ukradla srdce, bude muset obětovat vše, aby získal její lásku.

Három halovány holdkő
Sallie egy kisváros legnagyobb emberének, a Hercegként ismert Duke Kincaidnek a lánya. A huszadik század fordulóján született Sallie kisgyerekként kényelmes és kiváltságos életet él. Az édesanyjáról, aki egy Duke-kal folytatott erőszakos vitában halt meg, kevés emléke van. A lány csupán nyolcéves, amikor a Herceg újranősül, és fia születik, Eddie. Miközben Sallie igazi apja lánya, éles eszű, találékony, Eddie inkább anyás, félénk és elmélkedő. Amikor Sallie tanítani igyekszik a kis Eddie-t, hogy határozottabb legyen, a vakmerő játék egy balesethez vezet, és Sallie-nek el kell hagynia a szülői házat.
Amikor kilenc év múlva visszatér a családjához, egy olyan közösségbe csöppen, ahol mindent a hatalom, az erőszak és a törvénytelen szeszfőzés irányít. A tiltás korának Amerikájában mindenki játszmát játszik, és Sallie-nek döntenie kell: apja kegyetlen örökségét viszi tovább, vagy anyja örökségét – a lelkiismeretet – választja.
Možno raz
Správne rozhodnutia často prichádzajú v najťažších chvíľach
Dvadsaťdvaročná Sydney sa nemá na čo sťažovať. Študuje na vysokej škole, má stabilnú prácu, úžasného priateľa Huntera a býva so svojou najlepšou kamarátkou Tori. Všetko sa však zmení, keď zistí, že ju Hunter podvádza. A nie s hocikým. Už dlhšie to ťahá práve s Tori. S ponížením a zradou sa nedá len tak ľahko zmieriť. Zvlášť, ak sa jej dopustia najbližší. Sydney sa musí rozhodnúť, čo ďalej. Osud ju spojí so záhadným susedom Ridgeom, ktorý po večeroch hráva na balkóne na gitare. S každým tónom, s každou zloženou skladbou ich puto silnie. Časom pochopia, že sa navzájom potrebujú, a nie z jedného dôvodu. Lenže Ridge má aj vlastný život a zdá sa, že v ňom pre Sydney niet miesta.
Román Možno raz je krásnym emotívnym príbehom o láske, vernosti, morálke a správnych rozhodnutiach v tých najťažších chvíľach.

A Place to Die For
A young couple’s dream apartment hides a deadly secret in a terrifying novel of psychological suspense by the authors of Gravewater Lake. Jordan and her fiancé, Sam, can hardly believe their luck when they are accepted into the Glendale, an exclusive Boston co-op dripping in historic turn-of-the-century splendor. Still reeling from a devastating personal loss, the couple hopes their new digs will let them heal the past and build a brighter future. But Jordan’s joy soon turns to unease. Spending long hours alone while her fiancé is at work, she starts to suspect that all is not right with the Glendale. There is the empty apartment on the ground floor that nobody wants to talk about, and the unnerving sensation that she is being watched. The haunting cries of a baby—even though there are none in the building—don’t help, either. As their relationship falters and Sam grows ever more distant, Jordan comes to a terrifying conclusion. The Glendale won’t let her go…at least, not alive.
Ninja Vs. Gokudo 12
Since before the dawn of memory, one thing has defined human history: the war between ninjas and yakuzas. This coarse and manly manga follows two members of these warring tribes who fill the gutters of modern Tokyo with blood to determine which elemental force will reign supreme! An outrageous new action series, like Jojo's Bizarre Adventure meets Fist of the North Star! Shinoha is a frickin' NINJA. He can't even smile because of a dark trauma in his past that you'll find out about later. But for now, what you need to know is, he kicks ass and can kill so many guys. Kiwami, on the other hand, looks like a regular business guy, but actually he's a flipping YAKUZA. Everyone knows ninjas and yakuzas have been at war for three hundred years, so when Kiwami and Shinoha meet, it's like, fwoosh, slice, kabloop, stab stab stab... My point is, this manga has REAL ULTIMATE POWER and, if you read it? Maybe you can too.
Spurius: A Novel
It is a perilous time for the Roman Republic. Victory over her nemesis Hannibal in the Second Punic War and the subsequent conquest of Greece have led to widespread debauchery and mayhem on the Italian peninsula. Into the breach steps Spurius Postumius Albinus, Consul of Rome in 186 BC, who turns detective to investigate a series of crimes attributed to the cult of the wine god Bacchus that, he argues, threaten the very heart of the State. Based on events recorded by the Roman historian Livy and confirmed by a surviving bronze plaque in Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, Spurius is at once an ancient political whodunit and the first major treatment of a cataclysmic event in Roman history: according to Livy, some 3,500 Romans perished in the witch hunts resulting from Spurius’ investigation. In its finely balanced examination of freedom of belief and expression, and the manipulation of truth in times of national emergency, the novel has great relevance to today’s troubled world. Kulturalis’s edition of Spurius gives the novel a striking and luxurious new treatment. Renowned Argentinian-born illustrator Jorge González’s vivid images - including full-page and double-page illustrations within the text and an arresting slipcase design - brings the graphic events of the novel to life. Based in Madrid, González previously illustrated the edition of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies published by Los Libros del Zorro Rojo and The Folio Society’s edition of Carlos Ruíz Zafón’s The Shadow of the Wind. Working hand-in-glove with González through Maria Cardelli’s IllustrationZone is award-winning hand-lettering artist Ruth Rowland who has designed album covers for Elton John, Kate Bush and Cliff Richard.
The Girl Who Made a Mouse From Her Grandfather's Whiskers
In a distant future, a little girl named Anny makes toy mice out of scraps and dust. Anny has never seen a real mouse, just as she’s never seen the planet her family came from many generations ago. All she knows is her home, Tsedt: an isolated village of human colonists’ descendants and their friendly helper robots. But then one day the Amau arrive in Tsedt: plastic people with luminous eyes, intent on taking young humans to the distant city of Harbor to be educated. It’s not long before Anny is flown away to a place unlike any she’s seen before.
A Working Title I Want to Change
In the labyrinth of Tesco’s flagship supermarket, precariously employed workers search for dignity at the margins of late-capitalist London, while a nameless narrator cycles through the discarded nametags of sacked colleagues. Gradually absorbing their stories, he drifts from shifts at the superstore to temporary accommodation, as imminent homelessness threatens his intellectual hopes. Petty triumphs, quiet humiliations, and fleeting acts of kindness become markers of resistance to the wider collapse beyond the store’s walls. A Working Title I Want to Change explores the dizzyingly over-lit world of austerity Britain, revealing consumerism’s rituals and illusions in all their comedy and menace.
The Greatest Possible Good
Shortlisted for The Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year AwardHow much should one person give to make the world a better place? How much can one family take?**The hilarious, thought-provoking new novel from the Somerset Maugham and British Book Award-winning Ben Brooks**'Brooks is a frightening young talent.' Tim Key 'I love Ben Brooks.' Matt Haig‘This book made me laugh so much’ Sathnam Sanghera‘I really loved this book’ Graham Norton‘You’ll not forget the Candlewicks once you meet them! This splendid, wry satire is about a wealthy family, self-important and confident in their morality, whose blithe and bumptious existences are thrown into disarray when their father clandestinely decides to give all their money to charity, and so (in their opinions) completely destroys their lives. Droll and all-too-real.’ LitHub'A warmhearted tragicomedy about what it means to live a good life.' People Magazine‘A sharp-witted tragicomedy about money, morality, and a family teetering on the brink. A splendidly funny novel.’ Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street 'I’d like you to imagine that you’re walking to work one day and you come upon a child drowning in a pool of water. But imagine that someone refused to jump in after the child on the grounds that it would ruin his three-hundred-pound pair of John Lobb loafers. We’d consider them utterly immoral, would we not?’Arthur Candlewick spends three days in a disused mineshaft with only his son’s drug stash, a book on the concept of ‘effective altruism’ and a bottle of medium-priced Bordeaux for company. When he emerges, he has made the life-changing decision to become a good man. Deciding to sell the family timber business and give away his wealth to charity, Arthur’s family become convinced that he has lost his mind. His university-bound daughter, Evangeline, wants to change the world but perhaps not at the cost of her own privileged life. His son, Emil, good at maths and not much else, becomes more distant than ever. And his wife, Yara, who arrives at airports four hours early and fears that AI and climate change will leave her children unemployed, just wants the doctor to run another brain scan on her husband. Incisive, hilarious and unflinchingly human, The Greatest Possible Good asks fundamental questions about what it means to live a good life while introducing the world to one of the great families of contemporary literature. ‘Ben Brooks is a magical imp who pumps out dark nuggets of poetry and makes you snort with laughter.’ Noel Fielding‘Brooks has the timing of a genius stand-up comic.’ Richard Milward ‘Ben Brooks is a writer who genuinely excites me.’ Colin Herd, 3:AM Magazine
Woodwind Harmony in the Nighttime
Winner of the inaugural Mo Habib Translation Prize in Persian Literature, Reza Ghassemi’s darkly comic and subtly provocative novel of life among the exiled and expatriated. Iranian exile Yadollah is barely scraping by in 1990s Paris. He lives in a run-down attic apartment with his friend Seyyed, and his girlfriend Ra’na. It’s an all too common situation—their apartment building houses a cast of eccentric neighbors, most of them fellow down-on-their-luck exiles from all over the world. When a mysterious new neighbor arrives on the scene, a man who ominously goes by the name of Prophet, Yadollah and his friends’ world is turned upside down. Yadollah suddenly finds himself confronted by the Islamic angels of death, and realizes that he must untangle the mystery of his own murder, which occurred at some unknown point after Prophet’s arrival. Suspenseful, yet darkly humorous, Woodwind Harmony In The Nighttime explores the trauma of displacement, and challenges readers to piece together the story of a life shattered by exile.

What do you see...?When the mutilated body of a young woman is discovered in the desert on the outskirts of Los Angeles, the detective assigned to the case can't deny the similarities between this murder and one that occurred a year prior.

What do you hear...?Maureen Park, newly engaged to Hollywood producer Greg Dawson, finds her engagement party crashed by the arrival of Landon, Greg's son.

What do you feel...?Toby Kampen, the self-proclaimed Human Fly, begins an obsession over a woman who is unlike anyone he has ever met. A woman with rattlesnake teeth and a penchant for biting. A woman who has trapped him in her spell. A woman who may or may not be completely human. In Ronald Malfi's brand-new thriller, these three storylines converge to create a tapestry of deceit, distrust, and unapologetic horror. A brand-new novel of dark suspense set in the City of Angels, as only "horror's Faulkner" can tell it.
