Jane Eyre (Wordsworth Empress Collection)
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester. However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy. This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sally Minogue.

Angelin popol
Román ocenený Pulitzerovou cenou
Keď spomínam na svoje detstvo, čudujem sa, ako sa mi vôbec podarilo prežiť. Pravdaže, bolo to biedne detstvo, o šťastnom nestojí za to písať. Horšie než obyčajné biedne detstvo je biedne írske detstvo, a ešte horšie je biedne írske katolícke detstvo.
Takto sa začína autobiografický román držiteľa Pulitzerovej ceny Franka McCourta, ktorý sa narodil v období veľkej hospodárskej krízy v Brooklyne v rodine imigrantov a neskôr vyrastal v Írsku v žalostných podmienkach. Frankova matka Angela nemala peniaze, aby uživila svoje deti, lebo Frankov otec Malachy pracoval len zriedka, a keď už pracoval, celú výplatu prepil. Nemala na jedlo ani na oblečenie, trápila ich zima a vlhko, čo si vybralo krutú daň. Angelin život tak pripomínal každodenný boj o prežitie. Z jej snov a nádejí napokon ostal len popol.
Frankov otec, neznesiteľný a nezodpovedný človek, však zároveň živil chlapcovu túžbu po tom jedinom, čo dokázal svojmu synovi poskytnúť – po príbehu.
Možno práve vďaka tomu sa Frankovi podarilo prežiť. V handrách namiesto plienok, žobrajúci o bravčovú hlavu na vianočnú večeru a zbierajúci uhlie na kraji cesty, aby si mohli doma zakúriť, statočne znášal chudobu, vlčí hlad aj bezcitnosť príbuzných a susedov. Nielenže prežil, ale svoj príbeh napokon vyrozprával pútavo, s humorom a pozoruhodnou schopnosťou odpúšťať.
Preklad z anglického originálu Angela’s Ashes (Scribner, New York 1996) Jana Seichertová.

Hooked
Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging … Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious.
But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness. Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle.
When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to raise suspicion. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a thrilling and unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession.
A delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan, Hooked brings together all the ingredients for which Asako Yuzuki is so adored.

But Izzy’s rapidly decaying apartment building, its hallways stalked by an ominous crone known only as Medusa, offers little refuge to the sisters. Seeking solace in the films her ex-girlfriend loved, Brooke soon finds traces of horror bleeding from the screen into her life. Old wounds reopen and new frictions surface, and when Brooke begins to exhibit strange symptoms of her own, Izzy’s concern spirals into obsession. The line between self and sister blurs until only one question remains: who, or what, will survive when all unravels? Through the dual lenses of art and horror cinema, Emma Cleary brilliantly dissects loneliness, motherhood and the body’s threatened autonomy. Eerie and threaded with yearning, Our Monstrous Bodies is a haunting literary debut that blooms with the dark desires we suppress or to which we surrender.
