Eseje a morality
Dalimír Hajko patrí medzi výnimočné osobnosti slovenského kultúrneho vedeckého života.
Jeho širokospektrálna angažovanosť vyše polstoročia, prinášala zrelé plody vedeckého výskumu kritického myslenia o literatúre a kultúre, aktívnej publicistiky a editorskej či vydavateľskej činnosti.
Je v tomto smere zrejme držiteľom primátu v počte autorských knižných titulov, ale od knižného debutu (1975) je jeho tvorba aj hlbokou a na slovenské pomery nevšedne rozvetvenou stopou zakotvujúcou slovenské myslenie do súradníc svetového myšlienkového pohybu od staroveku po humanizmus, renesanciu, osvietenstvo a národné obrodenie až po najnovšie modernistické výboje. Je dozaista jedným z ojedinelých priekopníkov uvedomelého prepájania slovenskej literatúry so slovenskou filozofiou a kulturológiou a neúnavným objavovateľom súvislostí medzi kultúrami iných národov, myšlienkovými a umeleckými prúdmi, reprezentovanými erbovými velikánmi slovenskej a svetovej duchovnosti.

Yet even with Ormond's encyclopaedic knowledge of plots and killers, this case turns out to be anything but elementary...

The Cost of Trust
This is the story of one of the most horrifying scandals in British medical history. In 2003, Deborah Douglas was diagnosed with breast cancer by Ian Paterson, a surgeon based in the Midlands. Over the next seven years, Deborah placed her trust in Paterson, undergoing a mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, and extensive chemotherapy under his care – only to discover that her cancer diagnosis had been exaggerated and her treatment was totally unnecessary. Deborah was not alone; in 2017, Paterson, infamously dubbed the ‘Butcher Surgeon,’ by the media, was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent and three counts of unlawful wounding and sentenced to 20 years in prison. These were just a fraction of his victims. He deceived thousands of patients during his tenure as both an NHS and private surgeon.The Cost of Trust is a shocking work of investigative journalism that unveils the true extent of this medical atrocity. Authored by Deborah Douglas with writer Tracy King – also a casualty of Paterson – the book provides an in-depth look at the devastating impact of Paterson’s actions and the work it took to bring him to justice. Deborah Douglas led the campaign to expose Paterson’s misconduct and the failures of the medical authorities that allowed him to operate unchecked. In the wake of Paterson’s conviction, the Chief Coroner has opened inquests into the deaths of 54 patients treated by Paterson with more deaths being investigated. The NHS and private healthcare systems will answer accusations of systemic failures that enabled such a grievous breach of trust.The Cost of Trust is a compelling David vs. Goliath narrative and a crucial work of non-fiction.

Song of Ancient Lovers
Award-winning Colombian author Laura Restrepo weaves contemporary themes and ancient myth in this story of star-crossed lovers in a world on the brink of collapse. Retelling the mythical love story between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon in the refugee camps of the present day, Song of Ancient Lovers is a sublime ode to love and desire as forces shaping human history, with power that rivals forces of destruction. Ethereal in its weaving of the real and the mythical, the contemporary and the ancient, this is the story of Bos Mutas, a young writer traveling from South America to northern Africa in search of traces of his obsession. His research unveils the Queen of Sheba as unyielding and committed to her independence, with remarkable influence both in her time—over Solomon and all the subjects in her expansive kingdom—and on thinkers and artists across the centuries, from Thomas Aquinas to Gérard de Nerval, Frida Kahlo to Patti Smith. He also finds traces of her influence in the magic made of devastating circumstances by women he meets on his journey, especially Zahra Bayda, a Somali midwife who has taken it upon herself to show him around. Stunning and evocative, Song of Ancient Lovers is a triumph of imagination and reverence for the spirit that connects us across boundaries of time and geography. Translated from the Spanish by Caro De Robertis
The Devil in the Flesh
'A triumph of the poetic intelligence: a masterpiece' New Statesman'So shrewd, so ruthless, glittering and clever... every page he wrote was a delight' Fay WeldonIn this novel of desire and perdition, a bored and precocious adolescent pursues the wife of a soldier fighting in the First World War. At first attracted to Marthe out of sheer aimlessness, he finds himself falling in love. Consumed by sensual pleasure and power games, the pair do nothing to disguise their affair - until the consequences of their heedlessness begin to unfold.This shockingly sexy novel rocketed its teenage author into overnight fame in the 1920s - and was all the more scandalous for being based on his life.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by Christopher Moncrieff.Raymond Radiguet (1903-1923) entered Parisian literary society with a bang when The Devil in the Flesh was published. Only eighteen at the time, he became the star of an unprecedented publicity campaign and earned copious praise and censure for his precocious talent and scandalous behaviour - the more so as the novel was based on his own wartime affair with a soldier's wife. A protégé and perhaps lover of Jean Cocteau, he fraternized with artists, dancers and aristocrats, drank heavily, and generally ran riot, before settling down for a brief period, during which he wrote one more novel, Count d'Orgel, also published by Pushkin Press. Shortly after the manuscript was completed, he contracted typhoid fever and died within a few weeks, aged only twenty. He is buried in Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.Christopher Moncrieff is a poet, linguist and literary translator from French, German and Romanian. As well as a writing career he has served in the military and produced son et lumiere spectacles. He is descended from the poet Robert Burns.

Railsong
'Magnificent' KAMILA SHAMSIE'Majestic yet profoundly tender' MEGHA MAJUMDAR A breathtaking novel about a woman forging a life for herself on the railways, Railsong is the story of an individual coming of age amid the social and political upheavals of twentieth-century India. In a newly independent India charged with national vigour, Charu, the motherless daughter of a railway worker, pines for freedom from the shackles of her impoverishment and meagre prospects. As diesel engines replace steam and the calamitous churn of drought, famine and a great strike engulfs her town, Charu dares to imagine a different future for herself. She boards a train and flees westwards, leaving behind the oppressive domesticity of her childhood for the alluring modernity, and apparent opportunities, of Bombay. Unfazed by the everyday discriminations around her, she becomes an unlikely hero: a railway woman and census enumerator who keeps her heart open —sometimes guilelessly — to her nation’s vast possibility. Sweeping, elegiac and at times wonderfully comic, Railsong is a powerful portrait of grit, optimism and the force of character that enables one remarkable woman to live on her own terms in a country full of contradictions.
