Mona Acts Out
An exuberant, darkly humorous novel by the US National Book Award-shortlisted author of Fieldwork Celebrated stage actress Mona Zahid wakes up on the morning of Thanksgiving to the clamour of guests packed into her Manhattan apartment and to a wave of dread: her in-laws are lurking on the other side of the bedroom door; she has been fighting with her husband; and in just a few weeks she will begin rehearsals to play Shakespeare’s Cleopatra, the most challenging role of her career. On an impulse, and pretending she needs to do some last-minute shopping, Mona leaves her family and heads out into the city to visit her estranged mentor, Milton Katz, the legendary director who has been forced out of the theatre company he founded amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Mona’s escape turns into an overnight adventure that brings her face-to-face with her past, with her creative power and its limitations, and ultimately, with all the people she has ever loved. At once funny and sad and wise, Mona Acts Out is a deeply moving novel about acting and telling the truth, about how we all play roles to negotiate our lives, and how the great roles teach us how to live. Praise for MISCHA BERLINSKIMona Acts Out ‘An instant-classic New York novel about theater, aging, sex and love’ Joshua Cohen, author of Pulitzer Prize-winning The Netanyahus ‘Berlinski deserves a standing ovation for this bravura performance.’ Publishers Weekly ‘Wonderfully constructed, witty, warm, wise, and filled with an extraordinary sense of the relation between theater and life’ Kirkus Reviews Peacekeeping ‘Powerfully intelligent . . . There's magic in the way that Mr. Berlinski, in command of fact and emotion, pilots this big novel safely home.’ – Dwight Garner, New York Times ‘Formidable’ James Wood, New Yorker ‘Marvelous’ Washington Post Fieldwork ‘Gripping and entertaining...you know you're in the hands of a writer to whom the novel form is, when all's said, as natural as an old overcoat... A quirky, often brilliant debut, bounced along by limitless energy’ – Hilary Mantel in the New York Review of Books 'A killer novel... A great story... You can't stop reading.' Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly ‘This is storytelling of the highest quality: richly entertaining, intelligent and anchored in a deep sense of humanity’ – Tash Aw, Guardian
Hozsánna néked, Leibowitz!
Évszázadokkal azután, hogy az emberiség a Tűzözön során szinte nyomtalanul eltűnt a Föld színéről, a nemzedékről nemzedékre átörökített tudás kevés maradékát a Szent Leibowitz-rend tagjai őrzik a utahi sivatag mélyén. Az egyik fiatal szerzetesük egy nap csodaszámba menő felfedezést tesz: egy radioaktivitás-biztos óvóhelyen rábukkan a rend alapítójának különböző feljegyzéseire és tervrajzaira, amelyeket aztán szent ereklyékként kezdenek kezelni. Lehetséges, hogy ezek az áldott iratok hozzásegíthetik az emberiséget saját megváltásához?
Walter M. Miller Jr. regénye megelőzte a korát: eredeti megjelenése idején még nehezen tudtak mit kezdeni vele, néhány éven belül azonban óriási elismerésre tett szert. Azóta a sci-fi zsáner egyik klasszikusa lett belőle, amely egészen széles körben gyakorolt hatást a popkultúrára a poszt-apokaliptikus irodalomtól kezdve a Fallouton át a Mad Maxig. A Hozsánna néked, Leibowitz! idén átdolgozott fordításban jelenik meg.
The Tapestry of Fate
THE EPIC, ACTION-PACKED SEQUEL TO THE ADVENTURES OF AMINA AL-SIRAFI FROM SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SHANNON CHAKRABORTY
Set sail into the second adventure of Amina al-Sirafi as her quest to track down magical artifacts brings her to the island lair of a sorceress whose woven enchantments are impossible to flee…
Amina al-Sirafi thinks she's struck gold. Tasked with hunting down magical artifacts for the council of immortal peris, she can savour the occasional adventure on the high seas with her cherished criminal companions while still returning home to raise her beloved daughter.
But when Raksh, the spirit of discord with whom she is reluctantly wed, provokes the council's wrath, Amina is charged with a seemingly impossible quest: steal a spindle capable of rewriting fate from a mysterious sorceress on an island no one can escape.
Forced to leave her daughter, Amina finds her mission almost immediately thrown into peril. But deadly storms, an erratic poison mistress, and old enemies are the least of her worries. For the peris' story is unravelling, hinting at a far deadlier game whose rules Amina must swiftly puzzle out. A game that sets her against an adversary more cunning and powerful than she has ever faced.
A game that not everyone on her crew wants her to win.

Piper Mitchell needs something in her life to finally make sense. Fresh off a divorce, stuck in a career that’s lost its spark, and terrified of dating again, she decides to focus on the one thing she can control: getting more confident in the bedroom.
Liam Sullivan might be the league’s best goalie, but he’s never been great with people. Behind closed doors, though, he knows exactly what he’s doing – and after some gentle pressure from Piper, he agrees to help her learn. It’s supposed to be simple: a no-strings, mutually beneficial arrangement that stays firmly off the ice.
After a night of explosive chemistry in Vegas – one they can’t fully remember – they wake up with matching wedding rings. Determined not to let chaos derail their seasons, Piper and Liam agree to keep the marriage until hockey ends. It’s convenient, they insist. It's just for the hockey season. It doesn't mean anything.
But as the clock ticks down on their fake-marriage-with-benefits, can Piper and Liam make it work in the real world? Or will their relationship be a power play straight to disaster?
Power Play is a spicy friends-to-lovers hockey romance with the teach-me trope, accidental marriage, fake-dating fun, he falls quietly but hard, and a guaranteed happily ever after from bestselling author Chelsea Curto. The steamy second entry in the DC Stars series.

Bourbon a lži
V kentuckom meste Fiasco existuje len jedno pravidlo: Nikdy sa nezamiluj do niektorého z bratov Foxxovcov.
Každá žena, ktorá ho neposlúchla, na to doplatila – aspoň tak sa povráva. Miestni to nazývajú kliatbou. Lenže ja som ju pocítil na vlastnej koži. A druhý raz by som to neprežil.
Už nie som policajt, no zažil som dosť nebezpečenstva na to, aby som vedel, že Laney Youngová, krásna cudzinka, ktorá sa zjavila v mojom mestečku, pred ním uteká. Klam? o tom, odkiaľ prišla aj čo tu robí.
Nechcem, aby sa motala okolo mojej rodiny ani narúšala tichý život, čo som si tu vybudoval. Lenže moji bratia majú iné plány.
Teraz ju vídam všade – pracuje v mojom liehovare, býva v našom hosťovskom dome, volá ma „kovboj“ a nahá sa kúpe v mojom napájadle pre kone.
Lenže vďaka jej podrezanému jazyku začínam túžiť po veciach, ktorých som sa zriekol už dávno. Mal by som sa jej vyhýbať, zabudnúť na to, ako chutia jej krásne pery, a ignorovať, že vďaka nej opäť po niečom túžim.
Keď sa do mesta prihrnie jej minulosť a zapletie sa s mojou, jej lži sa začnú odhaľovať. Na pravidlách už nezáleží. Pokašľal som to, priveľmi sa v tom vŕtala a nechal ju, aby sa mi dostala pod kožu.
Teraz ju udržia nažive len dve veci: BOURBON A LŽI
Plavkyňa
DÍVAJ SA LEPŠIE
Spoločensky neobratná Chloe Cooperová trávi čas venčením psov, prácou za barovým pultom, starostlivosťou o svoju chorú matku a z bezpečnej vzdialenosti aj pozorovaním ľudí, pričom si vymýšľa príbehy o ich životoch. Zaujmú ju tiež jej noví susedia: známa influencerka Jemma Spenglerová a jej manžel Adam, renomovaný chirurg. Sú atraktívni, bohatí a ich dom s veľkými oknami bez žalúzií je pre ňu priam neodolateľným lákadlom.
Sťahovanie na severozápad Pacifiku má byť pre Jemmu a Adama novým začiatkom, obnoveným záväzkom manželstva, ktoré narušili problémy a tajomstvá. Šancou vyrovnať sa s tragickými stratami z minulosti. Jemme však tento nový začiatok prináša aj znepokojivý pocit, že ju niekto sleduje.
V jedno hmlisté ráno na pláži sa Chloe stane svedkom vraždy plavkyne. Skrsne v nej podozrenie a na svojich susedov sa začína pozerať v novom, oveľa temnejšom svetle. No keď sa prípadu chopí detektívka a jej kolega, ukáže sa, že nič nie je také, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá. Pretože nielen Spenglerovci skrývajú tajomstvá. A nielen Chloe niekoho pozoruje.

Láska s vůní cappuccina
Lence je přes padesát a má jeden zásadní problém: svého manžela už nemůže ani cítit. Rozvod je tedy logickým koncem – nebo možná začátkem. Jenže zatímco si představovala klidný život, realita jí připraví úplně jinou sérii lekcí: stárnoucí matku potřebující péči, bolestivé běhání, pohledného bývalého spolužáka Radka, příliš moderní snachu… a Honzu, který jí obrátí svět naruby. Ukáže se, že nový život nezačíná tehdy, když člověk podepíše rozvodové papíry, ale až když se přestane bát. Lenka zjišťuje, že život po padesátce není poslední kapitolou, ale spíš jen novou startovní čárou. A někdy stojí za to rozběhnout se, i když nohy protestují.

,,- Hallgatom, gyermekem.
Louise összekulcsolta a kezét, és felnézett rá.
- A paráznaság bűnébe estem Montgomery gróffal, eminenciás uram.
- Élvezetét lelte benne, gyermekem?
A nő az alsó ajkába harapott, mint egy vétket elkövetett kislány.
- Nem, mert önre gondoltam közben, eminenciás uram.
- Rám?! - kérdezte csodálkozva a bíboros.
- Igen! - Louise könyörgő pillantással nézett fel rá. - Csak a szépsége járt a fejemben... a jósága, amelytől átszellemül az arca, eminenciás uram.
- Ez bizony bűnnek hangzik, gyermekem.
A nő megragadta a csuklóját, és lázasan megcsókolta a kezét.
- Megvallom, elkövettem ezt a bűnt, eminenciás uram, és egyetlen pillanatot sem tudnék már elviselni, ha nem kapok feloldozást öntől.
Louise nem értette, hogyan képes továbbra is mosolyogni annak ellenére, hogy az undortól hányinger kerülgette. A teste magától cselekedett, az elméje pedig távolról figyelte ezt.
- Könyörgök, eminenciás uram!
A bíboros csillogó szemmel megsimogatta a haját.
- Olyan feloldozást kap tőlem, amelyet nem egyhamar fog elfelejteni..."
A csillagtudósok
Hell Miksa bécsi udvari főcsillagász 1767-ben meglepő megbízást kap: az ismert világon belül utazzon a lehető legmesszebbre északra és keletre, hogy megfigyelje a Vénusz-átvonulást.
Ötezer kilométeres utazás vár rá zord körülmények között, a bolygó legkíméletlenebb helyére, Vardobe, egyetlen célt szem előtt tartva: hogy megmérje a Föld és a Nap távolságát.
Az expedíció több évig tart, a kor legfejlettebb technológiáját biztosítják számára, és a világ tudományos elitje árgus szemmel figyeli, ő azonban megoldhatatlan problémákkal szembesül: logisztikai gondokkal, elszigeteltséggel, önellentmondásokkal és a természet mindent elsöprő erejével.
Hell Miksát azonban Isten kíséri az útján.
És ott van vele Sajnovics János is, aki különleges nyelvi felfedezést tesz.
Meg Jens Finne Borchgrevink, egy elfuserált norvég.
Három férfi. Egy kétségbeesésbe hajló vállalkozás. Egy emberfeletti cél. De hogyan lehet kiszámítani a Föld és a Nap távolságát, ha az ember még a saját szívét sem ismeri?
A csillagtudósok valós történések által ihletett, nagy ívű regény becsvágyról, féltékenységről és az álmodott, fényes sikerről a sarkvidéki éjszaka sötétjében.
