Desert of the Heart
This was the freedom she wanted, an animal freedom exposed to the emptiness of sky and land and water. As she stepped forward, Ann flipped into the water and was gone. Evelyn Hall, running from her disastrous marriage of sixteen years, arrives in the neon-lit desert heat of 1950s Reno - the only place in America where she can apply for a quick divorce. Arriving at her guesthouse she meets free-spirited Ann Childs, a casino ''change girl'' fifteen years her junior. Overwhelmed by both the vast, lonely beauty of the Nevada desert and her magnetic attraction to Ann, Evelyn must gamble all her own certainties and conventions to win a new kind of freedom. Bold, witty and shimmering with desire, this groundbreaking 60s novel is an unforgettable queer classic.INTRODUCED BY JACKIE KAY''An undisputed lesbian classic'' SARAH WATERS''Intelligent and utterly believable'' JOYCE CAROL OATES ''Brave, bold and brilliant'' JACKIE KAY
Perspectives
*SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2026*'There is no living writer whose new books I fall on with greater delight than Laurent Binet. . . Perspectives is a proper treat' Naomi Alderman'A dazzling romp' GuardianFlorence,1557. As dawn breaks, a painter is discovered lying on the floor of a church, stabbed through the heart. Above him, the paintings he laboured over for more than a decade. At his home, a hidden portrait scandalously depicting Maria de Medici, daughter of the Duke of Florence, as a naked Venus. Who is the murderer? Who made the painting? As the city erupts in chaos, Giorgio Vasari, the great art historian, is picked to lead the investigation. Letters fly back and forth carrying news of plots and speculation about the killer’s identity – between Maria and her aunt Catherine de’ Medici, the queen of France; between Catherine and her secret agents; and between Vasari and his friend Michelangelo. And the truth, when it comes to light, is as shocking as the bold new artworks that have made Florence the red-hot centre of Europe. Bursting with characters and colour, Perspectives is a mystery like no other that shows us Renaissance Florence as we’ve never seen it before – a dazzling, hugely entertaining novel of court machinations, murder and art. 'Doesn’t get much better than this' Sunday Telegraph'A racy and enjoyable detective story' The Times 'A dazzling romp' Guardian'Funny and very gripping' Financial Times
The Edge of Darkness
India, 1951. After wilfully ignoring orders, Persis Wadia, India's first female police detective, is exiled from Bombay to the wild and mountainous Naga Hills District. As India's first post-Independence election looms, and tensions rise across the country, Persis finds herself banished to the Hotel Victoria, a crumbling colonial-era relic, her career in tatters. But when a prominent politician is murdered in his locked room at the Victoria, his head missing, she is thrust back into the fray. Is the murderer one of the foreigners staying at the hotel or an insurgent from the surrounding jungle? As the political situation threatens to explode, Persis has only days to stop a killer operating at the very edge of darkness... The sixth rip-roaring thriller in the award-winning Malabar House series and a perfect entry point for new readers. 'Persis Wadia, denizen of India's own Slough House - Malabar House in Bombay - has been further sidelined. She is far from Bombay in the remote Naga Hills, an area of rebels and lawlessness which may just swallow her whole. Persis is a brilliant creation ... With a satisfying backdrop of little-known aspects of newly independent India's history and the ever-present tension with the remaining British colonists, this is a richly satisfying book at many levels' ALIS HAWKINS

A Boy's Own Story
A Boy's Own Story traces an unnamed narrator's coming-of-age during the 1950s. It was his power that stupefied me and made me regard my knowledge as nothing more than hired cleverness he might choose to show off at a dinner party. Beset by aloof parents, a cruel sister, and relentless mocking from his peers, the unnamed narrator struggles with his sexuality, seeking consolation in art and literature, and in his own fantastic imagination as he fills his head with romantic expectations. The result is a book of exquisite poignancy and humour that moves towards a conclusion which will allow the boy to leave behind his childhood forever. 'Edmund White has crossed The Catcher in the Rye with De Profundis, J. D. Salinger with Oscar Wilde, to create an extraordinary novel' – New York TimesPart of the Picador Collection, a series celebrating fifty years of Picador books and showcasing the best of modern literature.

Homo APIens
Homo APIens – budoucnost lidstva pod vlivem umělé inteligence
Nebude to klimatická krize ani pandemie, ale náš vlastní výtvor: umělá inteligence.

A dokážeme udržet kontrolu nad vlastními výtvory?
Kniha pro všechny, kdo chtějí pochopit, jak umělá inteligence mění naši budoucnost – a také naši představu o tom, co znamená být člověkem

Ticho plné vichru
Jeanne Duvalová – žena, milenka, herečka, tanečnice a především múza básníka Charlese Baudelaira – je v dějinách literatury často redukovaná na exotický symbol básníkova opia, na tělo, které inspirovalo, ale nikdy nemluvilo. V románu Ticho plné vichru ale vstupuje do příběhu z jiné strany. Už není jen ozdobou Baudelairových Květů zla, ale ženou z masa a kostí, unavenou Paříží i mužem, který ji kdysi zbožňoval a pak opustil. Po letech strávených v jeho stínu zůstává sama – v proměňující se Paříži devatenáctého století, v těle poznamenaném nemocí, v čase, který se krátí. Když jí lékař oznámí smrtelnou diagnózu, rozhodne se naposledy zvednout hlavu, usednout na kolo – svůj symbol svobody – a vydat se na cestu z hluku města do ticha krajiny, od slávy k zapomnění. Cesta se stává její vzpourou proti bolesti, osudu i světu, který ji chtěl vidět jen jako „Baudelairovu černošku“. Baudelaire se v příběhu vrací jako neviditelný druhý hlas – muž, který se nedokáže vymanit z vlivu despotické matky a není schopen empatie: z Jeanne si učinil obraz, a tím ji nakonec ztratil. V ozvěnách jeho veršů se zrcadlí vše, co jejich vztah obsahoval: vášeň, opium, rozklad, něhu i destrukci. Jeanne se však učí hledět jinak – na svět, na muže, i na sebe samu.
Ticho plné vichru je intimní, lyrický román o ženě, která se vzpírá vlastní legendě. O těle, jež se mění v prach, o duši, která chce naposledy dýchat. O tom, že i múza může mít poslední slovo – a že i smrt může být formou svobody.
The Eyes of Gaza - A Diary of Resilience
In early October 2023, Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a journalist. By the end of that November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza', moving millions with her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel's deadly invasion and bombardment.
Written as a series of diary extracts, The Eyes of Gaza relates the horrors of Plestia's experiences, while showcasing the indomitable spirit of the men, women and children of her community. From the heart of the turmoil, surrounded by falling bombs and widespread devastation, she captures their emotions; their gentle acts of quiet, necessary heroism; and the moments of unexpected tenderness and vulnerability amid the chaos.
Through the raw honesty and vulnerability of a normal twenty-one-year-old woman navigating a human tragedy, The Eyes of Gaza is a potent reminder of the horrors of violence and a powerful testament to the human spirit.
