Dokonalí neznámi


Aférka v meste lásky ju privedie na divokú jazdu plnú romantiky, nebezpečia a ilúzií. Úspešná americká spisovateľka Olivia Rossiová nedokázala napísať ani slovo od tragédie, ktorá jej pred dvomi rokmi prevrátila život naruby. Prenasledovaná minulosťou prijme ponuku stráviť leto v Paríži, kde hľadá uzdravenie aj stratenú múzu. Namiesto toho však nachádza Jamesa, príťažlivého cudzinca, ktorý v nej vzbudí nečakanú túžbu. Olivia a James si povedia len svoje krstné mená, ale žiadne osobné tajomstvá, kým sa ponárajú do vášnivého romániku. No čím viac času spolu trávia, tým viac si Olivia uvedomuje, že sa jej letná aférka mení na čosi hlbšie. A že ten tajomný muž, ktorému podľahla, vôbec nie je tým, za koho sa vydáva. Z anglického originálu Perfect Strangers (J. T. Geissinger, Inc., USA 2019) preložila Andrea Vargovčíková.

Niektoré výzvy nedokážeme odmietnuť Montgomeryovci a Daviesovci uzatvárajú prímerie. Alebo nie. Herriet Montgomeryová a Morgan Davies sa poznajú už od detstva.

Ako odmenu mu Herriet dovolí trikrát ju pobozkať. Povzbudený Davies strávi dva roky na mori. Kvôli navigácii podľa nesprávnej mapy nepriatelia uväznia jeho a celú posádku na ostrove izolovanom od sveta. Morganovi sa napokon podarí vrátiť do Anglicka a bezhlavo sa túži pomstiť kartografovi so pseudonymom R. Crusoe. Rovnako sa teší na prvé vášnivé stretnutie s Herriet. Navyše ani nespresnila, kde na tele ju môže pobozkať. Zlomiť vzpierajúcu sa Montgomeryovú však nedokáže každý... Z anglického originálu A Wicked Game (St. Martin`s Publishing Group, 2022) preložila Miroslava Molnárová.

'Eli Cranor is that rare writer who can make you gasp, cry and cheer often in the same paragraph' S. A. COSBYSpecial Agent Rae Johnson grew up on football fields alongside her father, a national-championship-winning coach. Which is exactly why she was chosen to investigate the illicit money flowing into the University of Central Mississippi's football program. But her case takes a dire turn when UCM's star quarterback is flung off a college bar's roof and lands on a bag full of money. Hoping to turn a routine fraud case into a career-defining bust, Rae ingratiates herself with the fans, coaches, players, and politicians who make up the university's complex social hierarchy. With rumors of corruption rustling through the kudzu vines, Rae soon realizes there's more to the game than what she'd learned as a child. And in order to win, she'll have to put all her father's lessons to the ultimate test.

Lazarus Man


'An engrossing read' Mail on Sunday'An atmospheric novel with the trappings of crime fiction' Spectator'Both a hymn to community, and a love letter to the city' The i paperIn this electrifying novel, Richard Price, the author of Clockers and a writer on The Wire, gives us razor-sharp anatomy of an ever-changing Harlem. Harlem, 2008. In an instant, a five-story tenement collapses into a fuming hill of rubble, crushing the cars parked in front and coating the street with a thick layer of ash. As the city's rescue services and media outlets respond, the surrounding neighbourhood descends into chaos. At day's end, six bodies are recovered, and many more tenants are still missing. Anthony Carter--whose miraculous survival, after being buried for days beneath tons of brick and stone, transforms him into a man with a message and a passionate sense of mission. Felix Pearl--a young transplant to the city, whose photography and film work that day provokes in this previously unformed soul a sharp sense of personal destiny. Royal Davis--owner of a failing Harlem funeral home, whose desperate trolling of the scene for potential "customers" triggers a quest to find another path in life. And Mary Roe--a veteran city detective who, driven in part by her own family's brutal history, becomes obsessed with finding Christopher Diaz, one of the building's missing. Powerful and gripping, Lazarus Man depicts intertwining portraits of a group of compelling characters whose lives are permanently impacted by the disaster, from one of the greatest chroniclers of life in urban America.

What is Huncút? - (Anglicky)


At the beginning of the 20th century, approximately one in four Slovaks lived in the United States, mainly in the industrial areas of the Northeast. The book is a collection of stories about immigrants from Slovakia in the US and their efforts to establish their own towns. What is Huncút? explores the stories of these remarkable settlements through historical reports while uncovering the background of the most significant wave of immigration from present-day Slovakia to the United States. The author, Milan Čupka, was inspired by his own family history – namely his great-grandfather's mysterious trip to Pittsburgh in 1907, which led to the departure of other relatives who are now scattered from Maryland, through Pennsylvania and Colorado, to Nevada. The author was driven by a desire to understand when Slovaks began emigrating to the US, what they experienced there, and what traces remained after this huge wave of emigration. You will learn: • who the first Slovaks in the US were, • how difficult the journey by ship was in the 19th century, • why most of them settled in industrial cities, but some decided to go South and West to pursue their dreams of becoming settlers. What is Huncút? will give you a new perspective on your Slovak roots.

A Kid from Marlboro Road


Our twelve-year-old narrator, an aspiring writer, is at a wake. He takes in the death of his beloved grandfather, Pop, a larger-than-life figure. The overflowing crowd - a sign of a life well lived includes construction workers in their muddy boots, elderly Irish women in black dresses, cops in uniform, members of the family deep in mourning. He watches it all, not yet realising how this Irish-American world defines who he is and who he will become. His older brother Tommy has no patience for rules and domesticities, his father is emotionally elsewhere. This boy knows that he''s the best thing his mother''s got, though her sadness envelops them both. In A Kid from Marlboro Road, past and present intermingle as family stories are told and retold. The narrative careens between the previous generation''s colourful sojourns in infamous parts of New York City: the Bronx, Hell''s Kitchen and the softer world of Gibson, the town on Long Island where they now live. There are scenes in the Rockaways, at Belmont racetrack, and in Montauk. Edward Burns''s buoyant first novel is a bildungsroman. Out of one boy''s story a collective warmth emerges, a certain kind of American tale, raucous and joyous.
