Questions that had always bothered the Forestall Martyn, more so now when suddenly the repentant rune staff of Grimstone’s within the reborn Ancient One started to have dreams and for a dwarf, whose people had left Northernland hundreds of years before, to suddenly appear on its shores once more from a distant land called Seikyre! His story of what was happening on Seikyre enough for the Ancient One to send help across waters they had never dared set sail upon since the dwarves disappearance, only to find what was awaiting them would see Northernland put in peril once more!

Půjčovna loutek
Jednoho dne dostane XY, vypravěčka příběhů, spisovatelka, která žije v Indii, balíček z Prahy. Je v něm rukopis románu Půjčovna loutek, ve kterém vystupují dva hrdinové podivného jména: Pepe a Puppi. Kdo jsou a jaké jsou jejich osudy? Už jako dítě Pepe pochopil, že hmotná realita světa je jiná, než jak se nám jeví: každý atom je hlavně prázdný prostor. Tento objev ho stále pronásleduje. Co když jsou „prázdná místa“ možné styčné body s jinou, příští existencí? Dvě osoby ho ovlivnily – stárnoucí redaktor Ben a legendární geograf z Kroměříže Ferdinand Stoliczka. Při cestě za poznáním – od moravského blázince přes Prahu, Argentinu nebo Indii – má Pepe průvodkyni, kterou je půvabná Puppi, stejně jako on od dětství trochu šílená: má strach z hadrových panenek, z nichž se sypou piliny. Není přece rozdíl mezi hračkami a lidmi, kteří jsou ve skutečnosti jen loutkami pro různé životní role! Tragikomické příhody lemují fantastickou trasu, po níž jde Pepe z rodné Moravy až ke hrobu slavného krajana v Himálaji. Tam teprve zjistí, že celý život je vyrovnávání a smíření s koncem pozemské pouti a příprava na změnu.
Román ještě nekončí, přestože jeho autor opustil tento svět. Spisovatelka XY se totiž rozhodne příběh dopsat. Jeho závěrečná část je pro čtenáře vzrušujícím a překvapujícím vyústěním dramatu.
It's Our Secret
In this powerful novel the horrific story of sexual abuse of young children by clergy is told through the lives of three main characters: the abuser, Archdeacon and then Bishop Colin; the abused, Jack; and finally the Reverend Katherine who offers hope and redemption to Jack. The circumstances and lives of Colin, Jack and Katherine are individually recounted and how they intertwine with one another develops through the novel. Despite its distressing storyline, the power of hope and love also shows that there is balance in life’s journey. Numerous themes are explored during the story including the role of institutions and the total disregard of the children’s voices and needs by Church, Police and Social Services who all take the importance of the ‘establishment’ to be a more vital aspect than that of the child. In particular it highlights the Church’s disgraceful policy of primarily wishing to preserve its reputation above the care of these vulnerable children.
Landslide
In a partly-fictionalised account, this book recounts the dramatic story of the 1945 General Election—an event that, to the surprise of many, saw the decisive defeat of wartime hero Winston Churchill and the election of Britain’s first majority Labour government.Drawing on a rich array of diaries, biographies, and autobiographies, it vividly brings to life the gripping personal and political dramas of key figures such as Churchill, Attlee, Morrison, Wilkinson, and Bevin—stories as compelling as any work of melodramatic fiction.Innovatively, the book also makes extensive use of the Mass-Observation archive—including diaries, directives, and field reports—to capture the voices of ordinary people who watched the unfolding events with a mixture of awe, anticipation, and apprehension.
Nostalgie si bere vás
Dneska se lidi sypou v podstatě na každém rohu nebo v tramvaji. Když už se ale sesypete, záleží hlavně na tom, jak vás znovu uplácají. Jestli vás teda pískaři vůbec seberou. S hlavním hrdinou beze jména – komu tady záleží na jméně? – procházíme městem, kde si domy mezi sebou vyřizují účty jadrnou wasserněmčinou, dělníci v ranních tramvajích zvrací písek, zatímco se trmácí za dřinou do továren, a v noci se k vám v posteli přivine cizí bytost. Z tohohle vyšinutého místa se dá utéct jen pomocí alkoholu nebo něčeho silnějšího a nebezpečnějšího jako láska.

What Price Freedom?
Samuel Bass is fighting for his country, for himself, for forbidden love and for African Americans held in bondage. Leaving his wife and children, Samuel joins General Washington's newly formed Continental Army. Fighting at the battle of Germantown, he is badly wounded. Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens, aide-de-camp to General Washington, rescues him from death and takes him to the home of a Quaker family in nearby Philadelphia to recover. Here he falls in love with the young woman slave assigned to care for him. Thus begins a tumultuous and, at times, dangerous journey into inner conflict, divided loyalties and a personal mission to provide equal education for everyone, regardless of their colour. In this sweeping narrative, the author skillfully gives an imaginative portrayal of one man’s life set against the background of American War for Independence but which, at the current time of global tension, addresses issues and conflicts that still resound today, such as the struggle for power and the destructive influence of widespread racial prejudice.
The Bombay Boys

A fateful meeting and illicit romance between Joe Benedict and his boss’s wife Molly, starts an unstoppable sequence of events, as on their return to England they unwittingly become the founders of one of the most ruthless criminal gangs in London. Years later, London is ruled by violent gangs. Ambitious Nick Benedict and his best friend Subash, known as Basher, accidentally become involved with the dark side of Joe’s past. This leads Nick to become embroiled with the Magellis, a major London crime family. Eventually, battling for success against the Magellis, Krays and Richardsons, the Bombay Boys, (named for their Indian roots) fight to establish themselves in this violent world. The Bombay Boys is a savage and exciting journey filled with romance and thrills, as the family establish their territory in a gangster world that spans from London to New York, Las Vegas and even Sydney.
The Stitching Hour
Originally released as 'The Puppet Tears', this edition of the author's very first novel – a tale of lost love and ultimate retribution – has been revised, extended and updated. Samual Grant has crafted for himself an enviable life: a career he loves, a beautiful home nestled deep in idyllic countryside, and the love and affection of Marianna Pascal – the lifelong focus of the most ardent of his obsessions. All seems well, until Marianna stumbles upon the chilling secret to his success, hidden away in the basement beneath their everyday lives. His dreams now in tatters, Samual must act fast to avoid losing everything he’s contrived into his skewed existence, straying further into the world of the occult than ever before to avoid losing everything he’s spent years amassing. But just how far is he willing to go to retain all that his diseased mind covets?
Rachel
This remarkable book is the story of the author''s mother, Rachel, a girl born in the Jewish Quarter of Damascus, who in 1927 wins a scholarship to study in Versailles to become a teacher with the Alliance Israelite Universelle. Posted to Baghdad, she meets Victor, a young man from a wealthy Iraqi Jewish family, fresh from study in Germany.The book follows their relationship, through the enormous and appalling upheavals of the twentieth century. The Holocaust is at first only a terrifying rumour to Syrian and Iraqi Jews, whose immediate problems result from the rise, following the collapse of the Ottoman rule, of a predominantly Muslim Arab nationalism whose sources in European fascism and Nazism make it a threat not only to Jews but to all the religious and ethnic minorities of the region, including the ancient Christian sects. The book covers the entire sequence of events, including the rise of Israel and the defeat of the Arab armies sent to suppress it, which led to the dispossession and expulsion, by the new nationalism, of virtually the entire Jewish community, in a vast act of what would now be called ethnic cleansing.In all of this Victor, extraordinarily, retains his nostalgia for an earlier, pre-Nazi Germany, and in the 1950s re-establishes himself in Hamburg.

Vojna a mier II (3. a 4. zväzok), 2. vydanie
Tolstoj písal Vojnu a mier v rokoch 1863 – 1869. Kompletné štvorzväzkové vydanie vyšlo v roku 1869. Dobová kritika najprv román odsúdila, ale čitateľský úspech bol obrovský. Dve vydania sa veľmi rýchlo rozpredali. V roku 1873 vyšlo tretie, podstatne prepracované vydanie, ktoré sa vydáva a vychádza v prekladoch dodnes.
Ide o klasický veľkoromán zo života ruskej spoločnosti v prvých desaťročiach 19. storočia. Popri množstve realisticky zobrazených postáv zasadených do historických udalostí plnohodnotne zobrazuje postavy generála Kutuzova a Napoleona. Nájdeme tu opis napoleonských rusko-francúzskych vojen prebiehajúcich v rokoch 1805 – 1812 (v románe je detailne opísaná bitka pri Slavkove 1805, ale aj bitka pri Borodine a francúzske obsadenie Moskvy). Hlavnými hrdinami románu sú dvaja šľachtici Andrej Bolkonský a Pierre Bezuchov, ako aj členovia rodiny Rostovovcov. Pierre Bezuchov je nositeľom Tolstého myšlienok a často veľmi výstižne hodnotí politicko-spoločenské dianie okolo seba, ako aj významné historické postavy.
Román bol niekoľkokrát úspešne sfilmovaný. V edícii Svetová klasika ODEON vychádza v druhom dvojzväzkovom vydaní.
Z ruského originálu Vojna i mir (Chudožestvenaja literatura, Moskva 1972) preložila Ružena Dvořáková-Žiaranová.

Eliete - Normálny život
Eliete má po štyridsiatke a žije zdanlivo usporiadaný život – má rodinu, prácu, dom, ale nie je spokojná. Keď jej dni začnú skĺzať do úmornej rutiny, hľadá iskru, ktorá by ju znovu prebudila. Vytvorí si profil na online zoznamke, nehľadá však románik, ale samu seba. Čaká ju flirt, neistota aj otázky, aké si doteraz nekládla. Čo na to jej dcéry, manžel a babka?
Dulce Maria Cardoso píše s jemnou iróniou a neobyčajným pochopením pre veci ukryté pod povrchom „normálnosti“. Jej román je zrkadlom modernej osamelosti, majstrovsky zachytáva rozklad intímnych vzťahov v ére sociálnych sietí a zároveň skúma, čo ostáva z autenticity, keď sa život premení na sled rolí. Eliete – Normálny život nie je len portrét ženy, ale aj spoločnosti, ktorá sa naučila predstierať spokojnosť.
Portrét obyčajnej ženy, ktorá umára v nude a ľahostajnosti svojej rodiny – akási dnešná Madame Bovaryová, odhodlaná zmeniť svoj život a objavovať nové možnosti v ére Tinderu.

Vigil
Pre-order the latest book from the Booker Prize–winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo – a playful, wise, electric novel taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO, in the twilight hours of his life, as he is ferried from this world into the next''He will be read long after these times have passed'' Zadie SmithNot for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favourite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion.She has performed this sacred duty three hundred and forty-three times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn’t like the others: The powerful K.J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it?Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of an epic, complicated life. Crowds of people and animals – worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead – arrive, clamouring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room, a black calf grazes on the loveseat, a man from a distant drought-ravaged village materialises, two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s post-death future.With the acuity and explosive imagination we’ve come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time – the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress – and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.
