Myths, Legends and Tales for a Greener World
Myths, Legends and Tales for a Greener World is a captivating collection of stories, retold by master folklorist Rosalind Kerven, all of which offer a new and inspiring perspective on the climate breakdown that threatens our modern world. Inspired by traditional myths and folklore from across the world and retold with integrity and respect, the stories in this collection offer a hopeful perspective on how we can better appreciate the natural environment and the species that share our planet. The book is split into five chapters: In the Beginning, The World in Trouble, Respect the Earth, Our Animal Relations and World Without End. Among these fascinating tales are a retelling of a Chinese story of dragons that help to control the climate, a spiritual tale about a desert stream from Tunisia, a Canadian First Nations story about the coexistence between humans and bears, and a Norse legend about rebirth in springtime. Each story is accompanied with carefully researched notes, detailing the cultural and historical background and other related tales. This book harnesses time-honoured wisdom to help imagine how we can transcend environmental degradation and species loss, to offer a more harmonious vision of life on earth.

The last of a ruined bloodline, she’s shunned for her volatile Starborn magic, which grants her prophetic visions but is slowly corrupting her mind.

The Mouthless Dead
'Anthony Quinn has found an ingenious way of shaping the story into a gripping work of fiction... a compelling mixture of crime story and character study' Sunday Times'A dark, unsettling, completely addictive mystery' Jonathan Coe'A beguiling real-life crime thriller' Chris Brookmyre'Absorbing.. The Mouthless Dead is as engrossing as it is unsettling' Emma FlintOne night in 1931 William Wallace was handed a phone message at his chess club from a Mr Qualtrough, asking him to meet at an address to discuss some work. Wallace caught a tram from the home he shared with his wife, Julia, to the address which turned out, after Wallace had consulted passers-by and even a policeman, to not exist. On returning home two hours later he found his wife beaten to death in the parlour. The elaborate nature of his alibi pointed to Wallace as the culprit. He was arrested and tried, found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang, but the next month the Court of Criminal Appeal sensationally overturned the verdict and he walked free. The killer was never found. Fifteen years on, the inspector who worked the case is considering it once more. Speculation continues to be rife over the true killer's identity. James Agate in his diary called it 'the perfect murder', Raymond Chandler said 'The case is unbeatable. It will always be unbeatable'. And on a cruise in 1947, new information is about to come to light.
Big Nobody

She is determined to take her rightful place alongside her heroes, David Bowie and Dave Gilmour, onstage at Wembley Stadium.Only one thing stands in her way: her father, The Fat Murderer.

Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting
Unsettling things are happening in rural Norfolk. At first glance, Hesket is a blink-and-you-miss it village, a seemingly unremarkable place that belies its horrifying history. There are tales of witch trials and death, of a curse that lies dormant in the landscape where the women condemned as witches are buried, and a great flood that long ago washed Old Hesket away.In present-day Hesket, a new development is planned for this woodland. Following various different voices in which the ordinary and the peculiar converge, Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting chronicles a quiet community of hard-working people, each contending with their own losses amidst daily life. To their horror, the sacred grounds of their beloved old woods are earmarked for development. As the work commences, despite village protests, strange and unexplained events begin to occur and the lives of the villagers start to disintegrate. While each of the eight characters has their own story to tell, beautifully and heart-rendingly encapsulated within individual chapters, the narrative connects them in a broader tale of jealousy, love, bereavement and joy from beginning to end.Merging psychological realism and rural terror, Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting is a compelling, uncanny page-turner from debut novelist Sara Bayat.
Suspicion
Onizuka Kumako is a fierce woman: tall, beautiful, and not afraid to speak her mind. In Tokyo bars, she seduces customers and commits petty crime, using her connections to the local yakuza to get by. When she meets Shirakawa Fukutaro, a rich widower desperate for companionship and unaware of her shady past, the two hit it off and are soon married. But their newlywed bliss is suddenly cut short: one rainy July evening, their car veers off course, plunges into the harbour and Fukutaro is pulled beneath the waves.
Suspected of murder and labelled a femme fatale, Kumako is hounded by the press, but stays firm, repeatedly proclaiming her own innocence. As pressure from dogged journalists mounts, the tide of public opinion is rising against her. But when a scrupulous defence lawyer takes on her case, doubt begins to creep in . . .
In this intricate, psychological noir, masterfully translated into English for the first time, Seicho Matsumoto draws out the hidden demons that guide our convictions, our biases and our deepest desires.
A Far-flung Life
Outback Western Australia, 1958: for generations, the MacBrides have lived on a remote sheep station, Meredith Downs. A million arid acres, it s an ocean of land, where the weather is a capricious god, and time still roams untamed.
One ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered.
Then, instead of leaving wounds to heal, Fate comes for them yet again, in a twist of consequences that will cause one of them to lose their life, and another to sacrifice theirs for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no guide, as he is forced to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness.
A tale of family and belonging, of compassion and hope, A Far-flung Life is about people trying to do their best, each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life. Exploring the lives of a handful of isolated souls and the secrets they shield in order to survive, this epic novel stands as a testament to the enduring power of love.
Howl
A tragicomic portrait of one man's unravelling in an absurd, twisted world, Howl is the propulsive new novel from Booker-Prize winner Howard Jacobson.
In the aftermath of October 7, Ferdinand Draxler walks the streets of London in despair. Everything has changed the sights, the sound, the spirit. He too is not who he was.
Is he at the crossroads of history or is it just a bend in the cul-de-sac of his own gloomy nature?
The son of a Holocaust survivor who accuses him of cowardice and the father of a daughter who sees him as complicit in genocide, Draxler fixates on bad news. He shouts at the television. He carries his own tin of paint to cover up graffiti.
The staffroom at the primary school of which he is headmaster has become a battlefield of inflamed opinion he does nothing to quiet.
His wife Charmian is a beacon of calm but even she isn't sure she can save Ferdie from himself. 'Don't worry about me,' he tells her. 'I don't have what it takes to go mad.'
Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon
Adored by readers, the million-copy Japanese magical realist mystery for fans of BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD.
If you could meet any dead person of your choosing for one night, who would it be?
When Hirase, a young woman from Tokyo arranges an appointment with The Go-Between, she doesn't expect a teenager to show up. Dressed preppy-style in a duffel coat and carrying a notebook, he communicates with the dead - at least, this is what Hirase has pieced together from the Internet - offering them a chance to travel back into the real world.
He quickly lays down some ground-rules: you are allowed only one meeting with the dead, for a single night; the dead person must not have been called back by anyone else before, plus they have the right to refuse. Lastly, the service is entirely free.
Four more characters will enlist the Go-Between for an emotional encounter with the dead.
What is the mystery behind this smart young man with the notebook and why does he insist on meeting in, of all places, a freezing cold hospital carpark?
Utterly unique and soul-stirring, THE GO-BETWEEN explores the wonder of life, the magic of the ordinary and the importance of friendship and always making amends, from Japan's best-loved magical realist mystery author.

Velký zlý lišák
Velký zlý lišák není ani velký ani zlý a má navíc neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Každý jeho pokus chovat se jako krutá šelma končí nějakou nehodou nebo neúspěchem, takže je pro smích celému okolí – především slepicím. Naštěstí je tu jeho samozvaný mentor vlk. Frustrovaný a hladový lišák, přežívající jen na tuřínové dietě, se nechá přemluvit ke geniálnímu plánu, jak slepice přelstít – ukrást jim vejce, vysedět je a vykrmená kuřátka si dát k obědu. Jenže to, co v teorii zní jednoduše, se v praxi ukáže jako velká komplikace a v komiksu Benjamina Rennera také jako nesmírně vtipné dobrodružství!
Velký zlý lišák (Le grand méchant renard), jeden z nejpopulárnějších francouzských komiksů nejen pro dětské publikum, byl vydán v roce 2015. Od svého vzniku získal řadu ocenění – Prix de la BD Fnac, Grand Prix des Lecteurs časopisu Le Journal de Mickey, Prix Jeunesse d’Angoul?me za nejlepší dětskou knihu.
Filmová adaptace pod názvem Velký zlý lišák a jiné příběhy (2017) navíc obdržela cenu César – francouzskou obdobu Oscara – za nejlepší animovaný film roku.

A tenger asszonyai
„Minden nő, aki a tengerbe merül, koporsót cipel a hátán…
Itt, a víz alatti világban nehéz élet terhét hordozzuk.
Nap mint nap élet és halál között egyensúlyozunk.”
A dél-koreai Csedzsu-sziget komor sziklái között élnek a henjo asszonyok – bátor nők, akik egy lélegzettel merülnek a jeges tenger mélyére, hogy kagylót és algát hozzanak a felszínre. Közülük való Jongszuk és Midzsa, akik gyermekkoruktól elválaszthatatlanok.
Egyikük a búvárkollektíva vezetőjének a lánya, a másik egy kollaboráns elárvult gyermeke. Amikor Midzsa elveszíti a szüleit, Jongszuk családja befogadja, és a lányok szinte testvérekként nőnek fel. Japán árnyéka és a diktatúra azonban átformálja a sziget életét, és a történelem sodrása kegyetlenül próbára teszi a két nő barátságát is.
A tenger asszonyai évtizedeken átívelő történet, mely a japán megszállás időszakától a második világháborún és a koreai háborún át egészen napjainkig kíséri el a szereplőket. Lisa See érzékeny, elsöprő erejű regénye a női barátság, a túlélés és az emberi lélek mélységeinek megrázó története – egy világé, ahol a tenger egyszerre az élet forrása és a veszteségek tanúja.
