New York lányai
Nem kell jó kislánynak lennünk ahhoz, hogy jó emberré váljunk. Elizabeth Gilbert, az Ízek, imák, szerelmek világszerte népszerű szerzője ebben a regényében az 1940-es évek New Yorkjának színházi világába kalauzolja az olvasót. Főszereplője, az elkényeztetett kisvárosi lány hamar elveszti a naivitását, ahogy belekóstol Manhattan éjszakai életébe - a kulisszák mögötti világ és a testi örömök felfedezésébe. Ám arra is rá kell jönnie, hogy egy bátor nőnek a karrierért és a szerelemért is nagyobb árat kell fizetnie... Az immár nyolcvankilenc éves Vivian örömmel és némi megbánással emlékezik vissza élvhajhász és öntörvényű fiatalságára, valamint azokra az eseményekre, amelyek későbbi életét alakították. Elizabeth Gilbert a világháború előtti Amerika izgalmas korszakába visszautazva is a női szexualitás, a szerelem és az önmegvalósítás összefüggéseit kutatja. A New York lányai persze több egyszerű kérdésfeltevésnél: az emberi vágyak és kapcsolatok bölcsességgel teli ábrázolása teszi páratlan szerelmi történetté.

Rhodes pocítila na vlastnej koži, aké rany dokáže človeku uštedriť život. Zažila stratu, ktorá je nočnou morou každého z nás. Napriek všetkému sa z nej pozviechala a snaží sa pomáhať ľuďom s podobným osudom. Jej svetlo a súcit sú ako balzam pre dušu.
Až kým nestretne Ansona Hunta. Najlepšieho priateľa jej brata, o ktorom síce počula veľa dobrého, ale z ktorého sa stal nevrlý samotár. Rhodes sa snaží dostať so svojou láskavosťou k nemu bližšie. Lenže Anson skrýva jazvy, ktoré sú oveľa temnejšie než čokoľvek, čo doposiaľ videla. A pýtajú si svoju daň. Ak sa ich skutočne dotkne, je možné, že ani jeden z nich neunikne ich ničivej sile...

The Mysterious Death of Aunt Jane
Could there really be a murderer in Shadey Cove? Fern Cassidy owns the local bookstore in a sleepy coastal village where nothing ever happens. So when the local bank manager is found dead after being investigated for embezzlement, everyone is shocked. When his lady friend and village confidant Aunt Jane is found dead at the bottom of her stairs a few months later, people start talking. When a third death occurs just a few weeks later, Fern decides to investigate. With her local knowledge, Fern is more than willing to assist when a fatherly police inspector and a rather handsome young detective are sent to investigate the latest body. But no one expects their investigations to lead them into the dark and dangerous world of gangland London. Romantic attractions aside, can our trio uncover what exactly is going on in Shadey Cove, before anyone else winds up dead?
Choice, Choose, Chosen
In the summer of 2022, a judgement reverberates across the world, shaking generations of women. Roe v. Wade – the 1973 Supreme Court case that ruled a woman’s right to abortion was protected by the constitutional right to privacy – is overturned. Fourteen women’s lives intertwine – writers and artists, mothers and daughters, friends and strangers – crossing time and reality, drawn together by abortion, choices, biscuits, and knitting. Their voices need to be heard in a world where a woman’s right to choose is never certain, and where the lines of the argument blur. This is their story.
The Origins of the Corinthian Christ Group
The Origins of the Christ Movement in Corinth: Paul’s Chord of Gods argues that Paul’s language about his god (father, lord Jesus Christ and pneuma) would have been familiar to Corinthian gentiles as a small group of gods – a chord of gods. Worship of Paul’s chord of gods matches the common religious practice (in Theodore Schatzki’s sense) around the ancient Mediterranean and in Corinth and would have been familiar to the Corinthians. This religious practice could have formed the basis of attraction for the Corinthians to join Paul’s Christ group, served as a social engine for its growth among gentiles in Corinth and been a source of conflict with Paul that he tries to address in his letters to the Corinthians.
Straad
Straad is a drifter, searching for less shallowness in his life. He longs for Cláragh. She ambushes his busy days and haunts his lonely nights. She looks past the mirror of his eyes and sees into his soul. But she is also obsessed by another and questions whether she is ready to commit. Cláragh and Straad’s fervid affair dominates this tale. But here also are the affairs of their friends; a perfect one to never end, a forever dead one to live again, a forbidden one to find the light. There is hatred and death, longing and betrayal, but all is a journey. A story which questions the times in our lives when we are forced to make decisions; some made on a whim, some driven by obsession, some made by others. These are choices which affect ourselves, our lovers, and our descendants, forever. After making these decisions, do we get another chanc? darkly humorous story of living, longing, dying. Questioning commitment and desire.
The White City
Trapped in a prematurely middle-aged life in rural Norfolk, Edward finds his precariously constructed world is crumbling around him. Determined to unravel his own unresolved mystery and inspired by the fire of romantic connection, he heads for the bright white city of Arequipa, high in the Peruvian Andes, on a quest to find his absent father. A quarter of a century earlier, Judith’s footsteps walk the same streets, as her own life takes an unexpected turn. Pushing past setbacks, she allows herself finally to live in the moment, only to realise, much too late, that choices always have consequences. Back in the present, having thought his goal to be a simple missing person search, Edward discovers much more than he could have anticipated. As he absorbs the magic of Peru and its people, the pieces of his life at last come together. Will he come home at all, and even if he does, can the new Edward be sure of the path he should take?

Príbehy z farebného sveta
Ako vyzerá svet, ktorý zostáva oku skrytý? A na čo spomína človek, keď prestane vidieť?
Tento text ponúka úprimné, dojímavé a miestami nečakane veselé rozprávanie muža, ktorý si v pamäti uchováva farby, tváre, hry detstva aj svetlo letných dní – dnes už iba ako drahocenné spomienky.Ako chlapec zažíval bežné dobrodružstvá typické pre detstvo. Až časom pochopil, že práve tieto chvíle sa stanú vzácnym pokladom, ku ktorému sa bude navracovať, keď jeho svet zahalí tma.Kniha približuje cestu bezstarostného detstva a rozmanitých príbehov, no najmä rozpráva o sile, odvahe a schopnosti nachádzať krásu tam, kde by ju iní nehľadali.

Ukážka z knihy:
Stál na prahu, potom vošiel dnu, posadil sa na stoličku a z vrecka kabáta vybral knihu. Obratne ako kúzelník v nej listoval. Dlhými prstami vyťahoval spomedzi stránok pohybli-
vé obrázky. Príbeh bol iba na začiatku, keď náhle prestal čítať. Postavil sa, odložil knihu a povedal, že si na chvíľu odskočí. Na prahu dverí zastal, otočil sa ku mne a povedal: „Si zve-
davý, ako príbeh pokračuje. Chceš to vedieť, ja viem, ale cena za to poznanie je príliš vysoká, ver mi,“ prestal rozprávať a smutne sa zahľadel do prázdna. Potom opäť pozrel na mňa
a takto prehovoril: „A pamätaj... každý koniec je len novým začiatkom... ani sa nenazdáš, a som tu späť.“ Odišiel a dvere nechal otvorené dokorán. Vyparil sa jako duch a vzápätí sa spustil prudký lejak. Svietilo slniečko a z neba padali veľké kvapky. Vytrvalo klopkali na parapet verandy a usilovali sa niečo mi povedať. Ich reči som ale ne- rozumel. Čakanie na neznámeho nemalo konca. Ani klobúk s červenou hviezdou to nevydržal a spadol mi z hlavy. Spoje sa rozišli a zo slávneho symbolu Siedmich statočných ostal iba bezvýznamný kus novinového papiera. Na stoličke predo mnou ležala nedočítaná kniha. Mal som nutkanie po nej siahnuť a sám si v nej listovať. Ani neviem prečo, ale namiesto čítania rozhodol som sa ísť neznámeho hľadať.
Charismatic Nations
At the core of nationalism, the nation has always been defined and celebrated as a fundamentally cultural community. This pioneering cultural history shows how artists and intellectuals since the days of Napoleon have celebrated and taken inspiration from an idealized nationality, and how this in turn has informed and influenced social and political nationalism. The book brings together tell-tale examples from across the entire European continent, from Dublin and Barcelona to Istanbul and Helsinki, and from cultural fields that include literature, painting, music, sports, world fairs and cinema as well as intellectual history. Charismatic Nations offers unique insights into how the unobtrusive soft power of nationally-inspired culture interacts with nationalism as a hard-edged political agenda. It demonstrates how, thanks to its pervasive cultural and 'unpolitical' presence, nationalism can shape-shift between romantic insurgency and nativist populism. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
Who Isn't Hiding Something?
Harry is a gifted musician rising to fame in post-war London. In the heady 1950s London Jazz scene, he falls in love with - and hastily marries- a young socialite, Caroline. Caroline suffers a violent sexual assault, but she feels ashamed and unable to confide in anyone. Under the weight of this secret, the nascent marriage fails. The novel then follows the couple’s separate lives into the next generation, where the effects of damaged relationships, misunderstanding and betrayed trust are still felt. Time passes, and they appear settled in their lives when the truth is revealed in an unexpected way and with surprising consequences.
Under Druids' Hill

Now, 25 years later, he returns to Anglesey with his wife and quaint daughter Tottie to find Olwen, feeling that a meeting with her will bless Tottie's childhood just as his own was blessed. On arriving on Anglesey, Michael makes a shocking discovery and realises that none of the adults he knew as a child can be trusted. He has a mystery to solve.
The Muckle Flugga Hussars
“Gentlemen! What stands between us and strangling Britain’s merchantmen and bringing her to her knees, is not the fury of the sea, or the violence of her Navy, but the obstinate stubbornness of the British sailor.” Cousins Jack Lee and Emma Pickney and the attractive and charismatic Ranulph form an awkward love triangle. This explodes as they sail the Northern seas off Shetland in the summer of 1939 with the war clouds gathering. Jack, a Merchant Navy deck officer, finds himself in the front line of Hitler’s U-boat war, battling for survival in the turbulent waters of the North Atlantic, while clinging to his love for Emma. Ranulph, a salvage diver, is determined to evade the war. However, of the three, he is the first casualty, driven mad by the carnage wrought on the Battleship HMS Royal Oak, torpedoed in Scapa Flow in a daring attack by U-boat No.47. Joachim Endrass, U47’s 1st Officer and the man who fired the torpedoes that sowed the destruction Ranulph witnessed, feels destined for great things. However, instead of his own U-boat, Endrass has foisted on him the angry Lieutenant Elrich and a new commander who for him, symbolises everything that is wrong with Hitler’s Third Riech. Disgruntled, he returns to the Atlantic as Germany’s attempt to strangle Britain''s Atlantic lifelines reaches a climax, with no inkling of the dramatic and incredible events that lie ahead.
