Cesta do Tridenta
Slovinský básník a prozaik Kajetan Kovič ve svém románu Cesta do Tridenta nenápadně rozehrává velkolepou oslavu „obyčejného“ lidského života – života, který se v jeho podání proměňuje v jedinečné, barevné a dojemné dobrodružství.
Vypravěč, autorovo alter ego, sleduje osudy svého strýce France M., obchodníka, vojáka a hostinského, jehož cesta z vídeňských salonů přes haličskou frontu až po vinohrady rodného Slovinska obsahuje vše, co tvoří podstatu lidské existence: vášeň, pošetilost, bolest, smích i smíření. Kovič s básnickou citlivostí a smyslem pro ironii nechává na stránkách svého románu ožít minulý svět – od lehkomyslného víru vídeňských valčíků po syrovou realitu války – a ukazuje, že i v těch nejprostších okamžicích se skrývá poezie bytí.
Cesta do Tridenta je román plný vůní vína, písní, smutku i radosti, napsaný s pochopením pro každou lidskou slabost. Dílo jednoho z nejvýznamnějších slovinských autorů 20. století, nám připomíná, proč stojí za to říkat životu vždycky své ano – da, ja, ano, igen, si...

Owls Do Cry
''Janet Frame was a unique and troubled soul whose luminous words are the more precious'' HILARY MANTEL''Her dark, eloquent song captured my heart '' JANE CAMPION''All my preoccupations as a writer - my notions of home, beauty, madness of sorts and longing - come from her'' MEG MASONSo the day promised fair, and the sea lay like a quilt with the waves tucked under, and the trees wavering like leafless water, cut to fit from a transparent block of blue air and frost.Owls Do Cry tells the story of the Withers family: Francie, who is twelve and about to start work at the woollen mills, hard drudgery sweetened with the thrill of riding a bike to work; Toby, who would rather play at the dump than go to school, where the dark velvet cloak of epilepsy often wraps itself around him; Chicks, the youngest; and Daphne, whose rich poetic way of seeing the world leads to a heartbreaking life in institutions.Written with lyrical beauty and a deep sensitivity in its depiction of hardship and tragedy, Owls Do Cry is a poetic masterpiece and regarded as one of the best New Zealand novels ever published.INTRODUCED BY MARGARET DRABBLE ''The first great New Zealand novel and a modernist masterpiece . . . the book''s immense power to unnerve, astonish and impress endures'' Guardian
Departure(s)
Departure(s) is a work of fiction - but that doesn't mean it's not true.
Departure(s) is the story of a man called Stephen and a woman called Jean, who fall in love when they are young and again when they are old. It is the story of an elderly Jack Russell called Jimmy, enviably oblivious to his own mortality.
It is also the story of how the body fails us, whether through age, illness, accident or intent. And it is the story of how experiences fade into anecdotes, and then into memory. Does it matter if what we remember really happened? Or does it just matter that it mattered enough to be remembered?
It begins at the end of life - but it doesn't end there. Ultimately, it's about the only things that ever really mattered: how we find happiness in this life, and when it is time to say goodbye.

But a mysterious stowaway has boarded with them, and with it a dark, malignant magic that threatens to destroy the train. The closer Raya comes to uncovering the stowaway's identity, the nearer she draws to the ultimate question:
What is her life's true purpose - and is it a destination the Elsewhere Express can take her to?

Koncem 2. světové války byla na Nagasaki svržena atomová puma a on v mžiku přišel téměř o všechno: celá čtvrť lehla popelem, během několika vteřin zahynuly tisíce lidí včetně jeho milované manželky Midori, z katedrály i z jejich domu zbyla jen hromada sutin. V troskách byla i nemocnice, shořely všechny jeho výzkumy... On sám s dvěma dětmi výbuch přežil a spolu s několika kolegy pak pomáhali ošetřovat raněné. Kvůli nemoci z ozáření věděl, že nebude dlouho žít, přesto však ve zbývajících letech dodával ve své chatrči naději mnoha lidem, kteří za ním přijížděli z celého Japonska i ze zahraničí.

Politics and the Economy
In today's societies, political and economic issues are closely intertwined, and political philosophy has turned more and more to economic issues. This Element introduces some key questions of economic philosophy: How to think about the relation between political and economic power? Can markets be 'tamed'? Which values are embedded in the economy and how do those relate to political values? It answers these questions by considering arguments from three theoretical perspectives – liberal egalitarian approaches, neorepublicanism, and critical theory or socialist thought – explaining their different background assumptions but also shared grounds. To illustrate these topics, it zooms in on the future of work: How could work be made more just, democratic, and sustainable? In the conclusion, some implications for research strategies in economic philosophy are explored.

My Friends
The beautiful new novel that will make you laugh and cry, from the global bestselling author of Anxious People and A Man Called Ove. Fredrik Backman returns with an unforgettably funny, deeply moving tale of four teenagers whose friendship creates a bond so powerful that it changes a complete stranger’s life twenty-five years later…
You have to take life for granted, the artist thinks, the whole thing: sunrises and slow Sunday mornings and
water balloons and another person’s breath against your neck. That’s the only courageous thing a person can do.
In the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world three tiny figures sit at the end of a pier. Most people don’t even notice them. Most people think it’s just a depiction of the sea. But Louisa, an aspiring artist herself, knows otherwise.
Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers seek refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days together. They tell jokes, they share secrets, and they commit small acts of rebellion. These lost souls find in each other a reason to get up each morning, a reason to dream, a reason to love.
Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into 18-year-old Louisa’s care. Determined to learn how it came to be and to decide what to do with it, Louisa embarks on a cross-country journey. But the closer she gets to the painting’s birthplace, the more nervous she becomes.
In this stunning testament to the transformative, timeless power of friendship and art, Louisa is proof that happy endings don’t always take the form we expect.

One London Day
One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling pointJoseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights. It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day. An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.
The Mistake
He's a player in more ways than one . . .
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game . . .
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat . . . and she plans on driving him wild.
The Score
This limited Collector's Edition printing will include a new hardcase design, printed edges, designed endpapers, and colored character art throughout of your fave OG hockey couple, Dean and Allie!
He knows how to score, on and off the ice . . .
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.
It'll take more than flashy moves to win her over . . .
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls . . . he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world - and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring . . . and shoot for love.
