Half His Age (Paperback)


Half His Age is a highly anticipated, funny, sad, thrilling novel about sex, class, desire, and power – and the (often misguided) lengths we’ll go to to get what we want, from Jennette McCurdy, the three-million copy bestselling author of I'm Glad My Mom Died. Waldo is ravenous. Horny. Blunt. Naive. Wise. Impulsive. Lonely. Angry. Hurting. Endlessly wanting. And the thing she wants most of all? Mr. Korgy, her creative writing teacher. Mr Korgy, with the wife and the kid and the mortgage and the bills, with the dead dreams and the atrophied looks and the growing paunch. She doesn’t know why she wants him. Is it his passion? His life experience? The fact that he knows books and films that she doesn’t? Or are they actually kindred spirits, sharing the same filter with which they each take in the world around them? Or, perhaps, it’s just enough that he sees her when no one else does. Startlingly perceptive, mordantly funny, and keenly poignant, Half His Age is an incisive study of a yearning seventeen-year-old who disregards all obstacles in her effort to be seen, to be desired and to be loved.

Hra bohů 1: Sestup do pekel


Debutový román začínající italské autorky Hazel Riley vyšel poprvé v Itálii v roce 2023. První román z doposud třídílné série z prostředí americké univerzity zaujme svým neotřelým příběhem. V něm se splétá současný život vysokoškoláků se světem vlivných a bohatých, avšak bezskrupulózních a nelítostných postav, které tahají za nitky v pozadí. Vše je ozvláštněné nádechem řecké mytologie a okořeněné pořádnou dávkou romantiky a žhavých scén. Výborně vystižená psychologie mladých dospělých přispívá k věrohodnosti celku a navzdory rozsáhlosti knihy čtenáře okamžitě vtáhne do příběhu. Hlavní postava, zprvu obyčejná dívka z chudších poměrů, se postupně stává žádoucí hvězdou, o kterou se vede nelítostný boj. Odvěká otázka, kolik jsme ochotni obětovat pro lásku a jak moc dokážeme riskovat pro milovanou osobu, zde opět získává na naléhavosti.
