A Thousand Blues
From its perch on top of a pile of junk inside a shed, Coli, a robot with powerful observational qualities, waits patiently for someone to find it.
Coli is special among AI robots. This is because Coli has the capacity for emotion.
Today, Coli is feeling particularly in awe - of the sky in all its wondrous shades of blue.
Luckily for Coli, a young girl is about to pass by. She is obsessed with robots.
Together, they will save a life.
But first, they must make friends, put themselves at risk, and pull off the mother of all deceptions.
Like Family
What if everything you wanted is no longer enough?
Meeting for an autumnal swim in an idyllic pond, Caroline's friend Ruth tells her about a family secret that has recently been exposed. Caroline was looking forward to a celebration they'd been planning together with her sister-in-law, Tobi, but suddenly everything seems complicated.
Tensions that have long been buried are bubbling to the surface. These three couples, who have so much to enjoy in their lives - growing children, affectionate marriages, work they love - must confront the truths they've never shared. More than that, they will have to reconcile the lives they've built with the ones they desire: the old dreams both fulfilled and denied, and the new ones that appeared right when they thought they had all they'd ever hoped for.
Weaving an exquisite portrait of parenthood, partnership, love and loyalty, Erin White captures what it really means for friends to become Like Family.
Homo APIens
Homo APIens – budoucnost lidstva pod vlivem umělé inteligence
Nebude to klimatická krize ani pandemie, ale náš vlastní výtvor: umělá inteligence.
Kniha Homo APIens poutavě sleduje cestu lidstva od prvních znaků a písma až po dnešní digitální revoluci a nástup strojů, které dokáží myslet téměř jako my. Autor ukazuje, že stejně jako jazyk kdysi povýšil Homo sapiens, dnes AI otevírá éru nového druhu – Homo APIens.
Tento průvodce budoucností nabízí nejen hluboký vhled do společenských, ekonomických a filozofických důsledků AI revoluce, ale klade i otázky, které si musí položit každý z nás:
Co znamená být člověkem ve světě, kde stroje myslí rychleji a lépe?
Zůstane naše identita výjimečná, nebo ji pohltí algoritmy?
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.
One London Day
One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling pointJoseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights. It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day. An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.

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.

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.
