Zakázané doteky - Zakázané doteky 1
Poté co Willow podvedl přítel, touží po životním restartu. Rozhodně nestojí o románek s lamačem srdcí, ani kdyby to byl její sexy šéf se zhýralou pověstí. Když ale Henryho vyfotí paparazzi se zfetovanou dcerou senátora, jeho otci dojde trpělivost. Henry musí předstírat, že se zasnoubil. Potřebuje někoho s image hodné holky, která si po konci dohody půjde po svém. Willow by peníze potřebovala, ale ještě víc chce nevěrnému ex vytřít zrak. V jednom má ale jasno – mimo povolené zóny se jí Henry nesmí dotknout.
A to je vlastně všechno
Souborné vydání Charmsových „dospělých“ próz v celém jejich panoramatu odhaluje autorovu ústřední tvůrčí polohu, totiž důsledný smysl pro nesmysl. Texty zároveň prozrazují paradoxní navigaci, kterou se Charms ve vnějším i vnitřním světě řídil. Poskytovala mu ji další pro něj příznačná poloha: čekání na zázrak. Čtenář a s ním vlastně i autor čekají na vyvrcholení, zdá se, že už k němu nedojde, jenže ono mezitím jakoby nic probíhá. Nepřichází v okamžiku, kdy se halasně projevují běžné literární pointy, nýbrž v nehlučném záchvěvu čtvrtého rozměru…
Druhý svazek Díla Daniila Charmse (1905?1942) je věnován výhradně jeho prozaické tvorbě, a to v její úplnosti. Pětisvazkové Dílo Daniila Charmse bude v nakladatelství Dauphin vycházet postupně. Prvním vydaným svazkem jsou Prózy (2025), následovat budou Úvahy (2026) a poté vyjdou svazky Hry, Dětem a Básně. Z charmsologických spisů dosud vyšla kniha Alexander Kobrinskij: Daniil Charms (2025).
Za Charmsova života vycházely tiskem jen jeho „dětské“ básně a povídky. Z „dospělé“ tvorby včetně zde shromážděných próz mu tehdy nevyšlo nic. Vzhledem k obsahu oné tvorby je to vlastně logické, uvážíme-li, že Charms žil v éře nejtvrdší bolševické cenzury stalinského SSSR. Na začátku třicátých let byl vyšetřován a vězněn (!) i za publikovanou tvorbu pro děti, takže o vydání jeho „dospělé“ tvorby prostě nemohla být řeč. Nelze ovšem tvrdit, že by Charmsovy texty za jeho života nikdo nečetl. Předčítal je přátelům, případně jim rukopisy či jejich opisy poskytoval k přečtení a internímu šíření, takže mnohé jeho výtvory byly v určitém okruhu leningradské inteligence dobře známy. Postupné zveřejňování Charmsova díla ovšem započalo až čtvrt století po jeho smrti.
V jedné ze svých deníkových úvah si Charms zapsal: „Mé výtvory jsou mí synové a dcery.“ Takový vztah k tvorbě vysvětluje, proč neničil své rukopisy, i když třeba s tím kterým textem nebyl spokojen. Jeho kolega Jakov Druskin tvrdil, že to byl důsledek odpovědnosti, kterou Charms cítil za cokoli, co řekl, natožpak co napsal, před Bohem, před věčností a konečně i před sebou samým. Autorův životopisec Alexandr Kobrinskij k tomu dodal: „To vše v jeho povaze nepochybně bylo, ale hlavní je, že Charms přece nemohl ničit vlastní potomstvo…“ To je důvod, proč vedle hotových textů vydáváme také autorovy náčrty a náměty, ba i rukopisy, které autor úplně nebo zčásti škrtl. Charmsovy prozaické texty jak z volných rukopisných listů, tak ze sešitových zápisníků řadíme do jednoho celku bez ohledu na jejich dokončenost či nedokončenost, a to pokud možno v chronologické posloupnosti.
Začarovaná řeka - Ostrov živlů 1
Jack Tamerlain před deseti lety opustil ostrov Cadence, aby se stal bardem na pevninské univerzitě. Když však začnou z ostrova mizet dívky, je povolán zpět domů. Adaira, dědička východní části ostrova a Jackova bývalá rivalka, věří, že jedině bardova hudba dokáže přivolat duchy živlů a záhadu objasnit. Netrvá dlouho a jejich někdejší soupeřivost se mění v křehké spojenectví, ze kterého se zrodí víc než jen hudba. Jenže pod povrchem se skrývají temná tajemství a stačí málo, aby se celý svět ocitl v ohrožení…

Best Woman
Julia’s beloved younger brother is getting married, meaning she has to leave her hard-won New York City life behind for a week, and trade drag brunches for the strip malls and golf courses of Florida.Since coming out as a trans woman a few years ago, her family have been supportive – seamlessly (well, almost) getting the hang of her new pronouns. But wedding-induced pressures – including an uptight bride-to-be and her vicious cronies, a hometown hookup buddy who Julia can’t seem to resist, and tricky dynamics with her divorced parents – force Julia to confront the complications that have been bubbling underneath the surface of her closest relationships, all while she tries to fulfill her sisterly duties as Best Woman.To top it all off: Kim Cameron is the maid of honor. Kim – the gorgeous, self-assured girl that Julia had crushed on hard back in high school. When the two women reconnect ahead of the wedding festivities, Julia is so overwhelmed she tells a teeny tiny little lie in order to gain Kim’s sympathy – a lie that quickly snowballs out of control and threatens to undermine the blossoming attraction between them. As Julia and Kim grow closer, finding solace in each other amidst a sea of Floridian wedding guests, Julia struggles to distinguish between truth and lies, questions the intentions of those she thought she knew, and must ask herself: what does she deserve, and what is she willing to do to get it? And more importantly… what does she deserve from herself?

SELECTED AS A BOOK TO READ FOR 2026 BY THE FINANCIAL TIMES AND NEW STATESMAN
One evening, during a writers' residency in Athens, Édouard receives a tearful phone call from his mother, Monique. She tells him that the man she lives with in Paris is abusive, inflicting upon her the same drunken behaviour as Édouard's father, repeating the same cycles of violence, shame and humiliation she fled from before.
Step by step, they plan her escape, celebrating each small victory of Monique's new beginning. But how do you rebuild your life when you've never truly known freedom?
Monique Escapes is an intimate and gripping portrait of a mother fighting for her self-determination, and of the son who becomes her ally.

How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder
''Takes all the expected stories about growing up Indian American, slices them open with razor-sharp wit, and turns them inside out'' CELESTE NG, author of OUR MISSING HEARTS''Nina McConigley is a true original . . . Heart-mending and heart-breaking - as only the truth can be'' TAYARI JONES, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGEGeorgie and Agatha Krishna killed their uncle, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. Tween sisters Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin - newly arrived from India - into their house in rural Wyoming where they''ll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it''s time for their uncle to die.To understand why, you need to hear Georgie''s story. It''s one of violence hiding in their house and history, of her once-unshakeable bond with her sister, of being an Indian-American girl in the heart of the West. Her account is cheeky, unflinching and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom: pen pal letters, how-to guides, games of MASH and teen-magazine-style quizzes. And the tale she weaves is either:a) a vivid portrait of an extended familyb) a moving story of sisterhoodc) a playful ode to the 80sd) a murder mystery (of sorts)e) a ruthless meditation on history and language, trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe it''s really:f) all of the above.

Mrs Hudson and the Spirits' Curse
A shadow falls over fog-bound London, reaching from the distant jungles of Sumatra to the cobbled streets of Limehouse, where merchants lie dead and whispers of a curse abound.

Cesta do Tridenta
Slovinský básník a prozaik Kajetan Kovič ve svém románu Cesta do Tridenta nenápadně rozehrává velkolepou oslavu „obyčejného“ lidského života – života, který se v jeho podání proměňuje v jedinečné, barevné a dojemné dobrodružství.
Vypravěč, autorovo alter ego, sleduje osudy svého strýce France M., obchodníka, vojáka a hostinského, jehož cesta z vídeňských salonů přes haličskou frontu až po vinohrady rodného Slovinska obsahuje vše, co tvoří podstatu lidské existence: vášeň, pošetilost, bolest, smích i smíření. Kovič s básnickou citlivostí a smyslem pro ironii nechává na stránkách svého románu ožít minulý svět – od lehkomyslného víru vídeňských valčíků po syrovou realitu války – a ukazuje, že i v těch nejprostších okamžicích se skrývá poezie bytí.
Cesta do Tridenta je román plný vůní vína, písní, smutku i radosti, napsaný s pochopením pro každou lidskou slabost. Dílo jednoho z nejvýznamnějších slovinských autorů 20. století, nám připomíná, proč stojí za to říkat životu vždycky své ano – da, ja, ano, igen, si...
Big Bad Wool
On the edge of a French forest, a flock of unusually clever sheep - educated by bedtime stories and past detective work - face a chilling new mystery and the threat of a shadowy figure. Sheep have vanished, other animals too. The theory of a werewolf might be just a wild fairy tale, but when a human is killed, it becomes clear that even fantasies can be fatal.
Miss Maple, Mopple and their woolly companions, aided by their goat neighbours, set out to reveal the truth. Armed with sheep logic, courage, and a steady supply of food, the flock follow the werewolf's trail determined to prevent any more bloodshed.
Whispering Rooms
From bestselling authors Genki Kawamura and Marie Kondo comes a collection of heartwarming and whimsical short stories, based on Marie's personal experience of tidying over 1,000 rooms.
Miko is a professional tidier, with a secret. When she enters a room, she is greeted by the voices of every object inside. Visiting her clients, she finds the whispering wardrobe, filled with chatty clothes; the singing study, full of talkative books; the bickering kitchen with its disgruntled drawers of cutlery, and more. Each item: a book, a childhood toy, a jar of miso paste, evokes a new memory for its owner, and what starts as the simple task of tidying a room becomes something profound and life-affirming.
With the help of her talking box, Hako, Miko helps people reconnect to themselves and their loved ones through the items that they find in their rooms. As they sort through their rooms, they discover what is truly important in their lives, and what it takes to spark joy.
