Killing Hares
Everyone expects miracles from the village huder Cerys Steadman. She can command every living thing in Mervale with her voice, yet still struggles to be heard. After her mother dies saving the village from the Iron Crow, Cerys carries the weight of inherited duty. Bound to the land by ancient magic, she refuses to pass on her burden, resisting marriage, motherhood, and even the use of her power - except in dire need. When a terrified stranger appears at her door and signs of a returning enemy appear, old tensions erupt. Cerys finds herself more isolated than ever - until she realises she doesn't have to fight alone. Rich with folklore, dragons and village politics, it is a tale of resistance and transformation from a rising voice in fantasy fiction. Killing Hares is a compelling high fantasy novel about maternal love, duty and the quiet magic of choosing your own path.
Bamburgh
FROM THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HOLY ISLANDTHE ONE THAT GOT AWAY... When a cantankerous old woman dies at her home in the sleepy, picturesque village of Bamburgh, DCI Ryan doesn’t think much of it—except, that is, for the small matter of it having been his wife who happened to find her body.

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.

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.
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.
The Elsewhere Express (Hardback)
Embark on a magical journey in this uplifting and inspiring fantasy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Water Moon - perfect for fans of Spirited Away, Dallergut Dream Department Store and The Starless Sea.
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS BEAUTIFUL LIMITED EDITION HARDBACK, featuring gorgeous illustrated endpapers with a scene you can colour in!
Raya is a lost soul, going through the motions of life without a dream of her own.
One night, on her subway ride home, Raya's thoughts wander too far. She wakes on the Elsewhere Express, a magical train that offers its passengers a sense of purpose, peace, and belonging. The journey is a chance for Raya to reimagine her life - but only if she finds her compartment before time runs out.
Once aboard, Raya meets an intriguing artist named Q and together they race to find their place on the train, through a boarding car carpeted in meadow grass and along a dining carriage where passengers picnic on lilypads.
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?
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.

Then Meredith’s brother gets engaged to the daughter of David’s boss, and he sees the perfect opportunity to advance his career and make his escape.With wedding bells sounding and the dangers of the Midnight Wood encroaching, David realizes there’s much more hiding beneath the surface of his roommate’s seemingly carefree charm, and perhaps his own exasperation carries more fondness than he’d like to admit.

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.

There she encounters three generations of women - and the next day, one of them is brutally murdered.
