Like Family
What if everything you wanted is no longer enough?
Meeting for an autumnal swim in an idyllic pond, Caroline's friend Ruth tells her about a family secret that has recently been exposed. Caroline was looking forward to a celebration they'd been planning together with her sister-in-law, Tobi, but suddenly everything seems complicated.
Tensions that have long been buried are bubbling to the surface. These three couples, who have so much to enjoy in their lives - growing children, affectionate marriages, work they love - must confront the truths they've never shared. More than that, they will have to reconcile the lives they've built with the ones they desire: the old dreams both fulfilled and denied, and the new ones that appeared right when they thought they had all they'd ever hoped for.
Weaving an exquisite portrait of parenthood, partnership, love and loyalty, Erin White captures what it really means for friends to become Like Family.
One London Day
One city, one day, and a battle of wills reaches boiling pointJoseph Severin, a respectable North London businessman, has a lucrative side job. He's doing the books, old school (because these days the only trail you can't trace is a paper one) for a rogue MI5 outfit, the Shadows, headed by psychopathic Sebastien. However, when the game is rumbled, Sebastien sends hitman Mr Phipps to kill Severin and get those books back. The spider web of collateral damage will be extensive, taking in Lottie, for whom Severin has developed a sudden, wild passion; Sonya, a Russian escort with a desperate deadline; and at MI5, the ambitious Ellerby, who has them all in her sights. It's the hottest summer in fifty years and in the shadows, a deadly domino effect is about to spill out into the harsh light of day. An earlier version of this book was published as One London Day by C.C. Humphreys, now expanded and revised 2026.

Homo APIens
Homo APIens – budoucnost lidstva pod vlivem umělé inteligence
Nebude to klimatická krize ani pandemie, ale náš vlastní výtvor: umělá inteligence.
Kniha Homo APIens poutavě sleduje cestu lidstva od prvních znaků a písma až po dnešní digitální revoluci a nástup strojů, které dokáží myslet téměř jako my. Autor ukazuje, že stejně jako jazyk kdysi povýšil Homo sapiens, dnes AI otevírá éru nového druhu – Homo APIens.
Tento průvodce budoucností nabízí nejen hluboký vhled do společenských, ekonomických a filozofických důsledků AI revoluce, ale klade i otázky, které si musí položit každý z nás:
Co znamená být člověkem ve světě, kde stroje myslí rychleji a lépe?
Zůstane naše identita výjimečná, nebo ji pohltí algoritmy?
A dokážeme udržet kontrolu nad vlastními výtvory?
Kniha pro všechny, kdo chtějí pochopit, jak umělá inteligence mění naši budoucnost – a také naši představu o tom, co znamená být člověkem

The Eyes of Gaza - A Diary of Resilience
In early October 2023, Plestia Alaqad was a recent graduate with dreams of becoming a journalist. By the end of that November, she would be internationally known as the 'Eyes of Gaza', moving millions with her social media posts depicting daily life in Gaza amid Israel's deadly invasion and bombardment.
Written as a series of diary extracts, The Eyes of Gaza relates the horrors of Plestia's experiences, while showcasing the indomitable spirit of the men, women and children of her community. From the heart of the turmoil, surrounded by falling bombs and widespread devastation, she captures their emotions; their gentle acts of quiet, necessary heroism; and the moments of unexpected tenderness and vulnerability amid the chaos.
Through the raw honesty and vulnerability of a normal twenty-one-year-old woman navigating a human tragedy, The Eyes of Gaza is a potent reminder of the horrors of violence and a powerful testament to the human spirit.
The Mistake
He's a player in more ways than one . . .
College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he'll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he's worth a second chance.
Now he's going to need to up his game . . .
After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to. She's not a charity case, and she's not the quiet butterfly she was when they first hooked up. If Logan expects her to roll over and beg like all his other puck bunnies, he can think again. He wants her back? He'll have to work for it. This time around, she'll be the one in the driver's seat . . . and she plans on driving him wild.
The Score
This limited Collector's Edition printing will include a new hardcase design, printed edges, designed endpapers, and colored character art throughout of your fave OG hockey couple, Dean and Allie!
He knows how to score, on and off the ice . . .
Allie Hayes is in crisis mode. With graduation looming, she still doesn't have the first clue about what she's going to do after college. To make matters worse, she's nursing a broken heart thanks to the end of her longtime relationship. Wild rebound sex is definitely not the solution to her problems, but gorgeous hockey star Dean Di Laurentis is impossible to resist. Just once, though, because even if her future is uncertain, it sure as heck won't include the king of one-night stands.
It'll take more than flashy moves to win her over . . .
Dean always gets what he wants. Girls, grades, girls, recognition, girls . . . he's a ladies man, all right, and he's yet to meet a woman who's immune to his charms. Until Allie. For one night, the feisty blonde rocked his entire world - and now she wants to be friends? Nope. It's not over until he says it's over. Dean is in full-on pursuit, but when life-rocking changes strike, he starts to wonder if maybe it's time to stop focusing on scoring . . . and shoot for love.

Get swept up in Elisabeth Wolf's chilling and unpredictable mystery.
Ticho plné vichru
Jeanne Duvalová – žena, milenka, herečka, tanečnice a především múza básníka Charlese Baudelaira – je v dějinách literatury často redukovaná na exotický symbol básníkova opia, na tělo, které inspirovalo, ale nikdy nemluvilo. V románu Ticho plné vichru ale vstupuje do příběhu z jiné strany. Už není jen ozdobou Baudelairových Květů zla, ale ženou z masa a kostí, unavenou Paříží i mužem, který ji kdysi zbožňoval a pak opustil. Po letech strávených v jeho stínu zůstává sama – v proměňující se Paříži devatenáctého století, v těle poznamenaném nemocí, v čase, který se krátí. Když jí lékař oznámí smrtelnou diagnózu, rozhodne se naposledy zvednout hlavu, usednout na kolo – svůj symbol svobody – a vydat se na cestu z hluku města do ticha krajiny, od slávy k zapomnění. Cesta se stává její vzpourou proti bolesti, osudu i světu, který ji chtěl vidět jen jako „Baudelairovu černošku“. Baudelaire se v příběhu vrací jako neviditelný druhý hlas – muž, který se nedokáže vymanit z vlivu despotické matky a není schopen empatie: z Jeanne si učinil obraz, a tím ji nakonec ztratil. V ozvěnách jeho veršů se zrcadlí vše, co jejich vztah obsahoval: vášeň, opium, rozklad, něhu i destrukci. Jeanne se však učí hledět jinak – na svět, na muže, i na sebe samu.
Ticho plné vichru je intimní, lyrický román o ženě, která se vzpírá vlastní legendě. O těle, jež se mění v prach, o duši, která chce naposledy dýchat. O tom, že i múza může mít poslední slovo – a že i smrt může být formou svobody.

Silent Catastrophes
From acclaimed critic, novelist and academic W. G. Sebald, author of Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn, a collection of essay on the Austrian writers who inspired him
Appearing for the first time in English, Silent Catastrophes brings together W. G. Sebald's essays on the Austrian writers who meant so much to him.
The evolution of Austria from vast empire to diminutive Alpine republic, followed by its annexation by Nazi Germany, had a profound traumatic impact on the literary output of the nation. Essays on the writings of Kafka, Handke, Bernhard and more, explore the concepts of 'home/land', 'borderland' and 'exile' with deep compassion and insight.
A revelation to Sebald's English-language readers, Silent Catastrophes traces many of the themes which animate Sebald's own work and illuminates how melancholy - the contemplation of disaster in progress - is itself a form of resistance.

In a house full of screeching animals in Edwardian South London, Alice lives in the shadow of her domineering father. Longing to escape, she retreats ever deeper into a world of memories, fantasies and rapturous longings - until she discovers an extraordinary secret power of her own. But the strange events that unfold lead her, dressed in bridal white, to a scene of ecstatic triumph and disaster among the crowds on Clapham Common. Blackly funny and indelibly haunting, The Vet's Daughter combines shocking realism with a visionary edge. INTRODUCED BY JANE GARDAM
