Wracked by shame and severed from her language, M. finds herself unable to write, unmoored in a present where the future feels unknowable. When she travels to a nearby country for an event, a twist of fate leaves her stranded in an unfamiliar city, phoneless and untraceable. In this rupture, she feels a flicker of liberation – the possibility of starting over – but memories of childhood, books, films and tarot cards pull her back, the last fragments of a vanishing world. Then she meets a troupe of circus performers who invite her to join them. For a moment, reinvention seems within reach. Oscillating between reality and dream, written in rich, hypnotic prose, The Disappearing Act is a haunting meditation on identity, language and the fragile desire to disappear by Maria Stepanova, one of Russia’s greatest living writers.

As if I’m the boy in a book about a boy who finds out his dad is the king of a magical and distant land. Christmas, 1983. In the aftermath of yet another furious argument, seven-year-old Andrev’s mother lets him in on a secret: his father is, in fact, not his father. And so begins a new kind of childhood, in which fathers come and go, arriving in red Volvos and sweeping his mother off her feet.

Fathers are drawn to his mother like moths to a flame – but even she can’t control how they behave. Vivid and joyful, raw and tender, Bloody Awful in Different Ways is a novel about growing up in the chaos of social change; about how love begins and ends; and above all, about men.

NAMED A BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE ‘This twisty, absorbing thriller is both a moving love story and fascinating speculative fiction exploring memory, time and reality’ GUARDIAN ‘An expertly crafted puzzle of a story’ NEW SCIENTIST 'Suspenseful, provocative and surprisingly tender' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 'Old-school creepy… a five-star horror novel' STEPHEN KING on Ascension 'A vivid, unputdownable story, about love and loss and all it means to be human' SUNYI DEAN, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book Eaters ‘An outstanding puzzle box of a novel … thrilling, intelligent sci-fi with a touch of horror' GARETH BROWN, internationally bestselling author of The Book of Doors 'A nimbly constructed story that starkly explores the dangers of neuroscience run amok' KIRKUS In this staggeringly mind-bending speculative thriller for fans of Blake Crouch and Ted Chiang, a woman dives into her husband’s memories to uncover a decades-old threat to reality itself… Maggie Webb has lived the last decade caring for her elderly husband, Stanley, as memory loss gradually erases all the beautiful moments they created together. It’s the loneliest she’s ever felt in her life. When a mysterious stranger named Hassan appears at her door, he reveals a shocking truth: Stanley isn’t losing his memories. Someone is actively removing them to hide a long-buried secret from coming to light. If Maggie does what she’s told, she can reverse it. She can get her husband back. Led by Hassan and his technological marvels, Maggie breaks into her husband’s mind, probing the depths of his memories in an effort to save him. The deeper she dives, the more she unravels a mystery spanning continents and centuries, each layer more complex than the last. But Hassan cannot be trusted. Not just memories are disappearing, but pieces of reality itself. If Maggie cannot find out what Stanley did all those years ago, and what Hassan is after, she risks far more than her husband’s life.

Napper, award-winning author of 36 Streets ‘A tender and compelling tale of love and memory across time and history. Thrilling, thought-provoking and melancholy.

Tegtmaierovy železárny
Prvotina autora, který v obecném povědomí dodnes žije jako autor slavného románu Kámen a bolest. Dvacet let před ním (1922) vydal Karel Schulz „komunistický román“ Tegtmaierovy železárny. Příběh o muži, který se z nuzných poměrů vypracoval na majitele velké železářské firmy a v zápase o zisk, vedeném ve jménu ideje budoucího lepšího, technicky i společensky lépe uspořádaného „železného“ světa, se tvrdě střetne se zájmy svých dělníků, kteří hájí svou mzdu, umožňující jim jen přežívání „od výplaty k výplatě“. Autor byl tehdy členem levicové umělecké skupiny Devětsil, svou prvotinu navíc psal v sociálně rozjitřené době let 1920–1921 (generální stávka v prosinci 1920, demonstrace, při jejichž potlačování bylo zastřeleno čtrnáct dělníků, následné odtržení levicové části sociálnědemokratické strany a vznik strany komunistické).

The Impossible Thing
On a summer’s evening in 1926, six-year-old Celie Shepherd is hungry and desperate and not where a six-year-old should be. Instead she is dangling from a cliff, far above the sea, reaching out to pocket an impossibly beautiful thing. This bold theft will change the course of Celie’s life, and the lives of others.
One hundred years later, a house is ransacked. The only thing missing: a dusty case containing that same impossible thing. What could conceivably be so important that it is stolen again and again (and perhaps yet again . . .)?
So begins this extraordinary mystery from award-winning Belinda Bauer. A taut, wonderfully imagined novel brimming with skulduggery at every turn, The Impossible Thing is a blazing testament to Belinda Bauer’s status as one of our greatest living crime writers.
