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.

Miracle


An unforgettable testament to hope and the bonds of brotherhood, Miracle reveals the untold story of the boys who escaped the gas chamber in Auschwitz, the only known group of Holocaust survivors to walk away from the jaws of the Nazi killing machine. Early on the morning of October 10, 1944, eight-hundred boys, aged between 13 and 17, were taken out of Block 11 at Auschwitz. The night before, during a visit by Dr Josef Mengele, their identification cards had been stamped with a solitary German word - gestorben - 'died' in English. They were then marched by 25 bayonet-wielding SS men to Crematorium 5, stripped, and herded into a gas chamber. This book is the story of a true-life miracle of the fifty-one boys who were pulled from that gas chamber - the only Holocaust survivors known to have escaped such a close brush with the Nazi killing machine - and given a second chance at life. A life, of course, that would be so horrifically snatched from those around them. Based on the first-hand testimonies of six of the boys, six survivors whose stories are shared in this book for the very first time, Miracle interweaves the lives of the boys and the grander sweep of history in which they were held. The result is an unforgettable tale of hope, faith and fortitude in the face of one of the worst crimes against humanity.

Praotec Róde a nápoj bojov Surima


Komiks na motívy staroslovanských mýtov a legiend Pratec Rode a nápoj bohov Surima je komiks, ktorý otvára bránu do sveta, kde sa staré slovanské mýty znovu nadýchli života. V centre príbehu stojí Rode — najstarší z bohov a jeho traja synovia, Svarog, Veles a Perún. Keď sa stratí posvätný nápoj Surima, zdroj nesmrtelnosti, začína sa dobrodružstvo, ktoré presahuje hranice času aj ľudského sveta. Tento komiks nie je len fantazijným príbehom. Je to návrat k našim koreňom, k mytológii, ktorá bola stáročia potláčaná, zabúdaná alebo prekrývaná cudzími vrstvami. V príbehu sa prelína humor, napätie aj jemná mystika. Postavy putujú cez svet ľudí, aj svet bohov, pričom každá z týchto rovín odhaľuje ďalší kúsok zabudnutej slovanskej kozmológie. Nápoj Surima sa stáva symbolom poznania, ktoré musíme znovu objaviť, ak chceme pochopiť, kto sme. Komiks je vytvorený moderným vizuálnym jazykom, no jeho srdce bije v rytme starých piesní a rozprávok. Je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že v slovanskej mytológii je ukrytá sila, krása a múdrosť, ktorú dnešný svet opäť potrebuje. AI asistované ilustrácie vytvorila Zuzana Kuglerová v spolupráci s Aičkom (Microsoft Copilot).

Pupek světa a slinivka břišní


Po knize pražských básní Kostel pro kuřáky vydává Sylva Fischerová knihu pražských povídek. Motto Ivana Diviše: Je to zem uzamklá ne snad na deset západů, ale ta, která nemíní komunikovat v domnění, že je pupkem světa. Ale ona není pupkem, je jeho slinivkou břišní, orgánem, na který lépe nesahat. platí podle ní nejen pro celou zemi, ale i pro její metropoli. Čteme tu pražské obrazy i příběhy – ty ikonické, jako v povídce Lego Staroměstského náměstí, i ty méně ikonické, jako je firemní večírek na parníku na Vltavě, celá Velká Praha (včetně Zbraslavi a Točné), je tu ale i scénka z pražského literárního života stejně jako minulé životy v podání pražské kadeřnice anebo snaha zodpovědět obligátní otázku: kde vlastně končí Žižkov a začínají Vinohrady. Natrefíme i na traktát o trhlinách, a jedné z postav se v noci zdá o modré čočce… Není to místy lehké čtení – protože tahle matička má drápy. A její obyvatelé taky. Pro povídky jsou příznačné rozmanité narativní strategie, s cílem představit Prahu a proměny jejího genia loci ve dvacátém a jednadvacátém století z různých, navzájem odlišných úhlů pohledu. „Jenom podle našeho pojetí času tomu říkáme Poslední soud, vlastně je to stanné právo. To je přece jasné, vám i mně. Stejně tak zlu nemůžeme splácet po částech – není část tam, kde je jenom celek – a stejně to pořád zkoušíme. Jako hlupáci si myslíme, že před zlem můžeme mít tajnosti,“ vysvětluje Kafka Einsteinovi. „A víte vůbec, že v naší synagoze žije zvíře, které vypadá jako kuna?“ „Nevím, protože do synagogy nechodím,“ odpoví Einstein. Když jsem z okna vlaku uviděla na budově nádraží nápis PRAHA-ŠTĚNICE, okamžitě jsem vystoupila, i když jsem měla původně namířeno jinam. Wosud je železny knjez.

Intoxicating, boundary-breaking love. His parents know he is gay, and their support is something Vivaan can count on, but they don’t know what exactly their son gets up to in the online world. For his uncle, born thirty years earlier, things were very different. Mambro’s life changed forever when he fell for a male classmate at a time, and in a country, where the persecution of gay people was rife under a colonial-era law criminalising homosexuality. And before that was Mambro’s uncle Sukumar, a young man hopelessly in love with another young man, but forced by social taboos to keep their relationship a secret at all costs. Sukumar would never live the life he yearned for, but his story would ignite and inspire his nephew and grand-nephew after him. Bold and bracing, intimate and heartbreaking, Deviants examines the histories we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.

Silent Catastrophes


From acclaimed critic, novelist and academic W. G. Sebald, author of Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn, a collection of essay on the Austrian writers who inspired him Appearing for the first time in English, Silent Catastrophes brings together W. G. Sebald's essays on the Austrian writers who meant so much to him. The evolution of Austria from vast empire to diminutive Alpine republic, followed by its annexation by Nazi Germany, had a profound traumatic impact on the literary output of the nation. Essays on the writings of Kafka, Handke, Bernhard and more, explore the concepts of 'home/land', 'borderland' and 'exile' with deep compassion and insight. A revelation to Sebald's English-language readers, Silent Catastrophes traces many of the themes which animate Sebald's own work and illuminates how melancholy - the contemplation of disaster in progress - is itself a form of resistance.
