The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century, Volume 1 (LOA #394)
A diverse, unprecedented gathering of more than one hundred stories, representing work by fifty different writers. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as the cotton gin and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated. Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century gathers more than one hundred stories by fifty different writers. This first volume of Library of America''s two-volume collection of nineteenth-century American short fiction tracks the development of the American short story from Charles Brockden Brown''s fragments and Washington Irving''s sketches to Poe''s gothic tales of horror to Mark Twain''s humourous stories. Represented here by generous selections are all the major figures-Irving, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and Twain-as well as Rose Terry Cooke, also a major writer, restored to a place of prominence in this anthology with three unforgettable masterpieces. Among the many unexpected writers in this volume are: William Austin, so crucial to the development of Hawthorne and Poe; the antebellum Black writer and physician James McCune Smith, whose sketches in his ''Heads of the Colored People'' series lampooned the pseudoscientific racism of phrenology; Lucretia Hale, the author of the feminist fantasy ''The Queen of the Red Chessman,'' perhaps the greatest one-hit wonder of the mid-nineteenth century; Francis Parkman, whose early magazine fiction remains unknown today even to many scholars; and Fitz-James O''Brien, the author of such unnerving horror stories as ''The Lost Room'' and ''What Was It?,'' whose true themes and concerns twenty-first century readers, accustomed to reading gay fiction, will not miss. Unrivalled in its range and textual authority, the anthology includes biographies of each writer, a chronology of writers and the American short story from 1800 to 1900, and extensive notes.

While Shen Qingqiu may have the incredible power of a cultivator, he is destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist. The new Shen Qingqiu now has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe’s good graces before the young man’s rise to power or suffer the awful fate of a true scum villain! This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming views.
The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century, Volume 2 (LOA #395)
A diverse, unprecedented gathering of more than one hundred stories, representing work by fifty different writers. As much a nineteenth-century American invention as the cotton gin and the steamboat, the short story emerged here with a range of innovation and a variety of styles and subjects that has still not been fully appreciated. Diverse, wide-ranging, and unprecedented in its scope, The American Short Story: The Nineteenth Century gathers more than one hundred stories by fifty different writers. This second volume of The Library of America''s two-volume anthology of nineteenth-century American short fiction follows the evolution of American short story from Bret Harte''s mid-century tales of the Gold Rush frontier to Alice Dunbar-Nelson''s ''The Stones of the Village,'' a story about racial passing written around 1900 but not published in the author''s lifetime. Henry James, generously represented in this volume, dominates the second half of the century, though also represeanted here are the accomplishments of the so-called local-colour writers associated with the post-Civil War period. The indelible stories of Sarah Orne Jewett and Kate Chopin are justly celebrated examples of this strain, and those writers are represented by several stories, but ample space is also given here to stories by Constance Fenimore Woolson and Mary Wilkins Freeman. The reader will also discover the short fiction of Stephen Crane, in whose work naturalism finds its perfect aesthetic and philosophical expressionas well as the indispensable stories of such Black writers as Charles W. Chesnutt and Paul Laurence Dunbar. The unexpected selection of Thomas Nelson Page''s ''Marse Chan'' provides the context for Chesnutt''s groundbreaking explorations of racial identity and his use of African American speech and folklore. Other surprises in this volume include Francis Hopkinson Smith''s minor comic masterpiece ''Six House in Squantico,'' about a town left behind in the post-bellum South. Unrivalled in its range and textual authority, the anthology includes biographies of each writer, a chronology of writers and the American short story from 1800 to 1900, and extensive notes.

Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter
'WISTFUL, WARM AND IRRESISTIBLY CHARMING' Olivia Atwater, author of Half a SoulFrom the Sunday Times bestselling author of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries comes a healing and heart-warming fantasy with magic shops, rescue cats and a second chance at love. Reader reviews:'Amazing!'?'Love it!' ?'I wanted it to last forever!' ?All strays are welcome here. Agnes Aubert is very fond of making lists. These lists kept her afloat when she lost her husband two years ago. And now, as the founder of a cat rescue charity, her meticulous organization skills feel like the only thing standing between her beloved cats - His Majesty, Banshee and sweet elderly Thoreau, to name a few - and utter disaster. But when Agnes is forced to move the charity, she soon discovers that her new shop is being used as a front; right under her feet is the lair of the decidedly disorganised - not to mention self-absorbed and infuriatingly handsome - Havelock Renard. Havelock is everything Agnes doesn't want in her life: chaos, mischief, and a little too much adventure. But as she gets to know him, she discovers he's more than the dark magician of legend, and that she may be ready for a little intrigue, perhaps even romance. After all, second chances aren't just for rescue cats. . . Praise for Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter:'Reading Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter reminded me of flying through the pages of Howl's Moving Castle for the first time--a warm and wondrous and magical experience. Fair warning: you might be tempted to add another cat (or two or three) to your home menagerie after reading this book.' Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy'Steeped in charm, wit and warmth, this is the perfect book to curl up with. Come for the delightfully fickle cats, stay for the grumpy wizard and tender romance. With the fuzzy persistence of cat hair on a jumper, it'll stick with you long after you put it down' Georgia Summers, author of The City of Stardust'Absolutely magnificent! Full of cats and magic, this is the kind of book you want to instantly re-read. I loved every character, every cat, and every moment with all my heart' Sarah Beth Durst, author of The Spellshop'It's been a long time since I so desperately wished to climb inside a novel and claim it for my home. This story feels like a gift-just for me!-but it will resonate with any reader searching for more magic, more kindness, more pastries in the world' Stephanie Perkins, author of Overdue 'This is a perfect book' Kiersten White, author of The Fox and the Devil

Dopady války – rozdělení světa do dvou nesmiřitelných táborů – pociťují v politickém a ekonomickém zápolení lidé na obou stranách. Obyvatelé Západního Berlína si zvykli na svobodný život v blahobytu zasloužený tvrdou prací, zatímco lidé na Východě přivykli existenci v sešněrovaném režimu, v němž hledají nejrůznější cesty, jak omezující pravidla obcházet. Politické napětí narůstá v celém světě, nikdo však ještě netuší, co Berlín teprve čeká.
Nejmladší ze sester Thalheimových, cílevědomá rebelka s křehkou duší Flori, se po šestnácti měsících útěku od rodiny vrací z Paříže do Berlína. Má prázdné kapsy a nesmírnou touhu malovat.

V průběhu pěti let nahradí spodničky petticoat ležérní styl oblečení, rock-and-roll vystřídá twist a Elvise Presleyho zastíní The Beatles. Které sny se Flori splní v době, kdy v Berlíně vyroste neprostupná zeď a John F. Kennedy zde pronese svůj nejproslulejší projev.

Biela temnota
Pred ním je len biela stena, čosi, čoho sa dá takmer dotknúť. Za ňou je ešte hlbšia bieloba. A ďalej? Už len hranica možného. Henry Worsley kráča celkom sám naprieč Antarktídou a do poslednej chvíle verí, že sa mu to skutočne podarí. David Grann v strhujúcej knihe Biela temnota rozpráva pozoruhodný príbeh o odvahe, láske a mrazivej vášni človeka, ktorý sa pokúsil o nemožné – prejsť osamote naprieč Antarktídou.
V tejto knihe sa dozvieš: – Prečo sa Henry Worsley rozhodol prejsť Antarktídu celkom sám, bez pomoci a zásobovania? – Ako ho ovplyvnil slávny britský polárnik Ernest Shackleton a jeho neúspešný pokus o rovnakú cestu? – Čo sa deje s telom a mysľou človeka, keď je dlhodobo vystavené samote, chladu a vyčerpaniu? – Kedy sa cieľ expedície mení z odvážneho sna na životu nebezpečnú posadnutosť? – Čo nám príbeh Henryho Worsleyho hovorí o cene hrdinstva v modernom svete?
Henry Worsley bol otec, oddaný manžel a vyznamenaný dôstojník britských špeciálnych jednotiek. Mal však jednu zdanlivo nevinnú posadnutosť – celý život zbožňoval polárneho bádateľa Ernesta Shackletona, ktorý sa ako prvý človek pokúšal dosiahnuť južný pól a neskôr prejsť pešo naprieč Antarktídou. Zbieral predmety zo Shackletonových ciest a jeho životný príbeh poznal naspamäť. To mu však nestačilo. Aj on totiž pocítil potrebu vyraziť najviac na juh, ako sa na tejto planéte dá, aj on sa zatúžil ponoriť do bielej temnoty.
Cesta Henryho Worsleyho nezačala tým, že zaboril topánku do ľadu na antarktickom pobreží. K tejto ceste smeroval celý jeho život. Nezvyčajný príbeh tohto obdivuhodného polárnika spracoval obľúbený americký spisovateľ a novinár David Grann. V knihe Biela temnota rekonštruuje Worsleyho životnú cestu – od vojenskej kariéry až po osudový pokus prejsť Antarktídu osamote a bez podpory – a zároveň skúma tenkú hranicu medzi obdivom k hrdinstvu a nebezpečnou vášňou.
Kniha nie je len príbehom extrémnej fyzickej výzvy, ale aj hlbokou reflexiou ľudskej túžby po výnimočnosti a prekonávaní vlastných limitov. V knihe Biela temnota nás čaká čosi viac než len dobrá literárna reportáž. Je to skutočné dobrodružstvo!
Biela temnota Davida Granna vychádza v preklade Samuela Marca.

Janae Sanders' Second Time Around
Janae Sanders is a dedicated single mother who lives for her son, James. But when she runs into her secret HS crush, Adam, at her 20-year reunion, they spend the night making up for lost time, and she remembers the part of herself she?s forgotten since her divorce. Too bad the new superintendent of her son?s school district decides now is the best time to slash all the arts programs which serve as feeder programs into a prestigious and very expensive arts college. Instead of getting to know Adam like she wants, she?s rallying her fellow PTA members to get him and the district to change their minds.Adam Henderson, the new superintendent?unbeknowst to Janae? has always had a thing for Janae Sanders. So, when he returns home after twenty years and a friend mentions she?s single, Adam jumps at the chance to reacquaint himself with the one who got away. As far as he?s concerned, their night together after their reunion is proof that the second time around is better than the first. But if he can?t get the head of the PTA off his back after cutting programs that were costing the district money, he may not have as much time to devote to rekindling his attraction to Janae as he planned.When a school board meeting is called, and Janae and Adam discover they?ve been dating the enemy, Janae gives Adam two choices: A: Restore the programs, or B: Lose her. Adam decides he likes a third option better, C: They can take the long upcoming weekend to get away at his family?s cabin, and figure out how to keep the arts program, plug the financial drain they?ve become on the school district, and still keep seeing each other at the same time.Janae is ticked off enough to tell him where to get off, but when her Savvy, Sexy, and Single Club members remind her you catch more flies with honey, she wonders if Adam isn?t right. Maybe there is a way for them to both get what they want.
Genja 1
Lidstvo se postaralo o další válku, která mohla být dost dobře poslední. Výsledná destrukce pohřbila civilizaci a světem se začaly šířit smrtelné nemoci.
Příroda se opět ujala vlády nad světem a zbytky lidí přežívají v divočině. Ti šťastnější žijí na vesmírné stanici nebo na jedné z několika výzkumných stanic, kde se hledá lék na smrtící nemoc Zelených skvrn. Do tohoto pochmurného světa, kde není místo pro lásku, přátelství nebo porozumění, se narodí dítě, které zamíchá kartami osudu a jehož krev obsahuje klíč k záchraně celého lidstva.
Fabrika
Drsný, syrový, a přesto lidský pohled do všední továrny, kde se práce mění v komedii.
Nekompromisní, drsný a groteskně vtipný pohled do života lidí ukrytých za zdmi výrobních hal. Seznamte se s postavami, které byste si za své kolegy sami nevybrali – s Dědkem, jenž dokázal obelstít systém i šéfa a prozradí, jak na správnou masáž prostaty, s panem Romadurem, k němuž se nelze přiblížit na deset kroků, nebo s operátorem, který se dorozumívá výhradně mňoukáním. Každodenní dřina, zvláštní rituály i nečekané jiskry lidskosti vytvářejí mozaiku, která čtenáře vtáhne a nepustí.

Beastly
Everyone is familiar with the tale: a man marries a woman, and she transforms into a crane. Or a seal. Or a bear. Or a woman marries a beast, who transforms into a man; or a man who transforms into a beast. Tales of shapeshifting animal spouses have long been a staple of folklore around the world. In this collection, fantasy and fairy tale scholar Jennifer Pullen selects fourteen classic tales that explore the boundary between the human and the beastly, showing how their telling and retelling reflects a constant longing for–and terror of–what seems to be “other.”
Hvězdná CREW 4: Vraž mi
Živí se snášením bolesti. Teď se jí to bude hodit.
Lulu má zvláštní profesi. Uspokojuje erotická přání zákazníků, které vzrušuje násilí. A jelikož je násilí na ženách špatné (pokud je to samotné taky nerajcuje), dává Lulu mužům možnost si legálním způsobem splnit své sadistické sny. Je to bolestivá práce, ale Lulu nějakou tu ránu snese a přece jen to vynáší. Aspoň do chvíle, než je jeden její pravidelný zákazník zavražděn a ona je jediným svědkem. Už tím by si koledovala o likvidaci, jenže ještě k tomu sebrala na útěku váček diamantů.
Čeká ji ta nejdelší a zřejmě i nejbolestivější noc jejího života.
