The Masnavi, Book Two
''You don''t seek guidance from those drunken men,So why insist they mend their rags agai? od''s lovers stand beyond all faiths, as theyAre shown by God Himself a higher way.''Book Two of Rumi''s Masnavi is concerned with the challenges facing the seeker of Sufi enlightenment. In particular it focuses on the struggle against the self, and how to choose the right companions in order to progress along the mystical path. By interweaving amusing stories and profound homilies, Rumi instructs his followers in a style that still speaks directly to us. In this volume, stories such as ''Moses and the Shepherd'', ''The Foolhardy Man who Trusted a Bear''s Good Intentions'' and ''Mo''awiya and Satan'' are among the most popular in the entire Masnavi.The most influential Sufi poem ever written, the six books of the Masnavi are often called ''the Qur''an in Persian''. Self-contained, as well as continuing the journey along the spiritual path, Book Two is here translated into rhyming couplets in the style of Jawid Mojaddedi''s prize-winning translation of Book One. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
The Next Woman
Lily knows every inch of Aurora Island—she came here to disappear. Hidden away, a mile off the mainland, it’s a paradise of beautiful beaches and picture-postcard villages. The perfect place to reinvent yourself. To keep secrets buried. But this summer, women are vanishing—in a chilling alphabetical pattern. First Alice. Then Beccy. Then Corinne. Each disappearance more mysterious than the last, leaving no trace behind. As panic builds on the island, a hit true-crime podcast seizes on the story. Its magnetic host, Ross, arrives with questions, charm, and an agenda no one can quite pin down. For Lily, each new disappearance brings her letter closer. And on Aurora, where some come to hide and others vanish without a trace, time is running out—one woman at a time…
Night of the Mannequins
We thought we'd play a fun prank on her, and now most of us are dead. One last laugh for the summer as it winds down. One last prank just to scare a friend. Bringing a mannequin into a theater is just some harmless fun, right? Until it wakes up. Until it starts killing. Luckily, Sawyer has a plan. He’ll be a hero. He'll save everyone to the best of his ability. He'll kill as many people as he needs to so he can save the day. That's the thing about heroes—sometimes you have to become a monster first.
Only the Small Bones
As the founder of Freedom Fighters, famed music composer, William Mayes, is often the first port of call when the FBI needs assistance with human trafficking victims. After receiving such a call one night, William abandons everything to catch the next flight home. Arriving at Manhattan Memorial, he finds a beautiful young man restrained to a gurney. His eyes are wild with fear, and blood stains his skin. No one has been successful in getting him to speak. When even he can’t get the young man to cooperate, William does something he may later come to regret—he extends an invite to his home. The young man is non-verbal, angry, and at times openly hateful. All of which gives him control over William’s emotions. William slowly begins to spiral from his own struggles with his tormented past. His nightmares return, sleep becomes a lost cause, and the dark voices in his head are out for blood. Amid their co-dependent isolation, William’s feelings evolve. Lines are blurred, and then crossed altogether as they start down a path riddled with secrets and lies of omission. The only thing that can set them both free is the truth. But maybe some things are better left buried. Because if the ugliest parts of William are ever unearthed, no one will be spared. Only the Small Bones is an MM romance, and book one in the standalone series Slow Burns & Tragic Beginnings. This story features a non-verbal MC with touch aversion, and mental health representation.

Soudce Dredd Amerika
V Mega-City 1 jsou zákonem soudci – fungují jako sudí, porota i popravčí v jednom. Jak ale obyvatelé města doopravdy vnímají systém, ve kterém jsou zcela bezmocní?
Amerika Jaraová a Bennett Beeny vyrostli jako nejlepší přátelé a v nebezpečném městě, kde se většina lidí bojí spíše vymahatelů zákona než zločinců, vedou relativně bezstarostný život. Jejich cesty se však časem rozcházejí, a zatímco Beeny se stává úspěšným zpěvákem, Amerika cítí stále větší potřebu bojovat proti opresivnímu systému, ve kterém je svoboda pouze prázdným pojmem.
Amerika, temný a komplexní příběh napsaný Dreddovým spolutvůrcem Johnem Wagnerem a namalovaný Colinem MacNeilem, je považována za jeden z nejdůležitějších komiksů se soudcem Dreddem. V této knize ji doplňují tematicky související krátké příběhy napsané Alanem Grantem (Lobo, Batman) a Garthem Ennisem (Preacher, Banda) a nakreslené Johnem Higginsem (Před Strážci).
Claimed by Shadow and Blood
Sometimes the truth gets buried, and love digs the grave. I thought surviving the ruthless fae bridal competition would be my hardest challenge. I was wrong. Chosen by Vad—the dark, dangerously possessive Prince of Shadows—to stand at his side, I’ve become the prime target in a kingdom built on lies and blood. Rivals would rather see me buried than crowned. Then I wake with a dagger in my hands...and the King’s blood on my skin. Framed for his murder, I’m thrown into the dungeons, where pain is currency and every shadow whispers betrayal. The council demands my execution. My enemies close in. And I begin to question everyone... especially myself. But Vad doesn’t let go of what’s his. Freeing me means defying the very laws that hold his kingdom together. If he fails, I die. If I fail, the crown—and the man who would rather burn the world than have another at his side—will fall into the hands of someone who wants to destroy it. In a world where every choice bleeds, survival isn’t just about staying alive. It’s about deciding who’s worth killing for.

Smrt Mínótaurova
Athény prohrají válku a jako daň musí krétskému králi Mínóovi odvádět sedm svých nejlepších mužů a žen. Proslýchá se, že jsou obětováni v obrovském labyrintu tajemné příšeře.
Báji o Mínótaurovi zná každý ze školních lavic, ale co kdyby se ji rozhodl Hollywood proměnit v napínavý velkofilm?
Tuto možnost se rozhodli prozkoumat scenáristé Chris Pasetto a Christian Cantamessa (podílel se mimo jiné na videohrách Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas nebo Rise of the Tomb Raider). S předlohou zacházejí přesně v hollywoodském stylu: Théseus je nezodpovědný hejsek, Ariadna má místo nitě luk, král Mínós je naprostý šílenec a Mínótauros...
Ale to už si přečtěte sami.

A Room of One's Own
A Room of One’s Own is an American classic that has been inspiring readers since its initial publication in 1929. Based on two lectures that Woolf delivered at the University of Cambridge, this collection of extended essays highlights the importance of education and independence for aspiring writers. Woolf calls for the inclusion of more female voices in the literary canon, and outlines the steps needed for more women to gain access to writing careers. Still relevant to this day, readers of all kinds will take inspiration from Woolf’s commitment to creating inclusion in the creative space, and her dedication to creating art despite those who would deny her. With a new foreword by a modern author, readers will gain insight into the ways that Virginia Woolfe’s teachings still influence modern creatives.
Paper Hearts
A pop princess with her career in ruins is forced into a fake PR relationship with Hollywood actor, Grayson, to save her image. Except her new fake boyfriend is less than charming, and she seeks companionship elsewhere. She ends up hiring an escort, convinced losing her virginity is the way to elicit a sexy spark into her music, which the industry desperately wants from her. Except the escort, Taio, isn't interested in rushing her first time. Instead, they build a friendship and strike up a bedroom lessons arrangement. When they are caught by the paparazzi spending time together after hours, she's forced to feed out a lie to the tabloids that Taio is her bodyguard. With a new male threat prevalent, Grayson begins to show Charlie attention (out of competitiveness), and Taio, who has been hurt before and is convinced he'll never settle down and leave escorting. Now Charlie is caught in a bizarre fake love-triangle while trying to revive her dwindling music career, doing her best to figure out what an actual happily ever after looks like and whether that might be off-stage.
The Snowbirds
Kim and Grant are at a turning point. A couple for thirty years, their 'separate but together' partnership is running up against the realities of late middle age: Grant’s mother has died, the college where he taught philosophy was shuttered, and their twin girls are grown and gone. Escaping the bitter cold of a Midwestern winter for the hot desert sun of Palm Springs seems as good a solution as any to the more intractable problems they face. When they arrive at Le Desert, a quirky condo community where everyone knows everyone’s business, Kim immediately embraces the opportunity to make new friends and explore a more adventurous side of her personality. Meanwhile, Grant struggles to find his footing in this unfamiliar landscape, leaving Kim to wonder if their relationship can survive the snowbird season. But when Grant goes missing on a hike in the Palm Springs mountains, Kim is forced to consider two terrifying outcomes: either Grant is truly lost, or this time, he’s really left her. Is it ever too late to become the person we wanted to be—and is there still time to change into someone better? The exhilarating, but often confusing transitions of midlife are pitched against the promise and glamour of Palm Springs in this tender, honest story of what it takes to commit to someone for a lifetime. With compassion and humour, Clancy explores the redemptive power of finding ourselves, and of being found.

Then, in a disused cabin, Theo finds something impossible: a photo of herself as a child. A photo taken at Idlewood. I’ve been here before. Theo has almost no recollection of her earliest years, but now she begins to piece together the fragments of her memories. Someone here has a shocking secret that they will do anything to keep hidden, and Theo is in terrible danger. Because the Daltons do not lose, and discovering what happened at Idlewood may cost Theo everything.
Murder Will Out
Come for the memories. Stay for the murder... Little North Island, off the coast of Maine, is so beautiful it could be a postcard. Organist Willow Stone cherishes her memories of childhood summers spent on the island with her godmother Sue... even though her visits ended abruptly, and she hasn't seen or heard from her godmother in over fifteen years. Until a letter from Sue—and word of Sue’s death—brings Willow back to the picturesque island. The islanders rarely mention Sue without also bringing up Cameron House, and the controversy around Sue’s unexpected inheritance of the sprawling mansion. When Willow overhears someone threatening the next heir to the property, she starts to question whether Sue’s death was really an accident, and can’t help but wonder whether someone on this sleepy island is willing to stop at nothing—even murder—to claim Cameron House for their own. Through Willow’s eyes, as well as those of others on the island, a mystery unfolds that keeps drawing Willow back to Cameron House and the very real ghosts that walk its corridors.

Alice
Everything is different. Alice is the central figure in these five interconnected narratives, which tell of her life at times of loss. Suddenly it is no longer possible to say what the person looked like, how he spoke, cursed, smiled, how he lived his life. Objects are left behind, books, letters, pictures, and every now and again you think you can see them in a crowd. Judith Hermann tells of days of transition, of waiting, of holding on and letting go and of how clear and dazzling such days can sometimes be. Alice is a book of extraordinary power and great literary beauty from one of Europe’s finest writers.
Brother Bronte
The year is 2038, and the formerly bustling town of Three Rivers, Texas, is a surreal wasteland. Under the authoritarian thumb of its tech industrialist mayor, Pablo Henry Crick, the town has outlawed reading and forced most of its mothers to work as indentured laborers at the Big Tex Fish Cannery, which poisons the atmosphere and lines Crick’s pockets. Scraping by in this godforsaken landscape are best friends Proserpina and Neftalí. One of Three Rivers’ last literate citizens, Neftalí hides and reads the books of the mysterious renegade author Jazzmin Monelle Rivas, whose last novel, Brother Brontë, is finally in Neftalí’s possession. But after a series of increasingly violent atrocities committed by Crick’s forces, Neftalí and Proserpina, with the help of a wounded Bengal tigress, three scheming triplets, and an underground network of rebel tías, rise up to reclaim their city—and in the process, unlock Rivas’s connection to Three Rivers itself. An adventure that only the acclaimed Fernando A. Flores could dream up, Brother Brontë is a mordant, gonzo romp through a ruined world that, in its dysfunction, tyranny, and disparity, feels uncannily like our own. With his most ambitious book yet, Flores once again bends what fiction can do, in the process crafting a moving and unforgettable story of perseverance.
