Hot Desk

1982 Jane Kinloch arrives at the legendary townhouse offices of the East River Review as a wide-eyed intern with big dreams. When she strikes up a friendship with glamorous fellow intern Rose, the two soon become inseparable. But Rose's attraction to their married boss, literary titan Edward David Adams, threatens to drive a wedge between them. 2022 Once upon a time in publishing, editors had their own offices. But now, to her great chagrin, Rebecca Blume of Avenue Publishing must share custody of a 'hot desk' with Ben Heath, editor at rival imprint Hawk Mills. What starts as a battle of passive-aggressive Post-it notes about an unwatered cactus notes escalates after the death of renowned writer Edward David Adams. He has left behind an unpublished manuscript, and Ben and Rebecca are soon vying for the career-making opportunity to publish it. But when Rebecca discovers that the manuscript contains a decades-old secret about her mother, Jane, she is determined to stop it from seeing the light of day. Can she persuade her infuriating (and annoyingly handsome) rival deskmate to let it go? A funny, sexy, unexpectedly moving novel that weaves a contemporary workplace romance with a gripping historical narrative set in the 1980s New York publishing industry.

Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Manžel aneb Jak se také dá využít váš partner

Nová a zcela nekorektní dvojkniha karikaturisty Lubomíra Lichého je na světě. Můžete ji začít číst z kterékoli strany. Jenom si vybrat, zda dáte napřed přednost dámě nebo pánovi. Manželce či manželovi. Lichý nešetří ani jednoho. Knihou se tak prosmějete, podle toho, který začátek zvolíte. Výhodou je, že když ji otočíte, můžete pokračovat… Trocha nekorektního humoru z časů, kdy podržet ženě dveře neznamenalo jí sdělit, že si je není schopná otevřít sama, a drobné rýpnutí do opačného pohlaví se dalo přejít s humorem, a dokonce bez trestních oznámení. Zkrátka stará doba… Žijeme ve zvláštní době. Prakticky denně nám politici ve sdělovacích prostředcích předvádějí performance, o jejichž vhodnosti vysílání před desátou večerní by zcela jistě mohla být vedena odborná diskuse. Přesto jsou naladitelné v kteroukoli hodinu. Zato při slušné rozpravě je třeba našlapovat zlehýnka. Například genderová vyváženost je novodobým požadavkem, a není zcela korektní, je-li například na práci v kamenolomu požadován výhradně muž. Můžeme se setkat s bytostmi, které se identifikují třeba jako kočky, a jsou nesmírně rozladěné, když jim na veřejné toaletě chybí vanička se stelivem. Jakoby se nám starý a srozumitelný svět stavěl trochu na hlavu, na kteroužto polohu se nám nepřivyká lehce. Pokud se Vám tedy v této nezvyklé pozici nestojí pohodlně, klidně svůj trénink na chvíli přerušte, zaujměte polohu tělu příjemnou a zalistujte si v dílku, jež třímáte v prstech. Lubomír Lichý zde shromáždil řadu aforismů na téma žena a muž, pocházejících od klasiků, přátel i lidu. Vše je doplněno a podpořeno autorovým milým kresleným humorem. Manžel: definice pojmu O původu slova manžel nepanuje mezi vědci shoda. Část jich zastává názor, že pochází z francouzského manger „jíst“, zbytek je přesvědčen, že je třeba hledat pramen v německém der Mangel „nedostatek“. Ať už je tedy původní význam manžela „pojídač“ nebo „člověk, kterému něco chybí“, je zřejmé, že jde o součást domácího vybavení značně problematickou, poruchovou a z větší části postradatelnou. Dostaly-li jste se již do té ošemetné situace, že se jeden či více exemplářů ocitlo ve vašem vlastnictví, snad vám pomůže náš upřímně míněný manuál k tomu, že pro něj naleznete alespoň nějaké neškodné využití… Manželka jako zdroj všehomíra Manželka je úžasný vynález matky přírody. Pokud žena jako taková je všeobecně (a právem) považována za subjekt všeho schopný, pak s manželkou zašla příroda ještě dál, až za hranice možného a nemožného. Uzavřením sňatku se z už tak podivuhodného, ale stále přirozeného stvoření, stává stvoření naprosto nadpřirozené…
