An Academy for Liars


Lennon Carter's life is falling apart. Until she gets a mysterious phone call inviting her to sit the entrance exam for somewhere few have heard of - Drayton College, a school of magic hidden in a secret pocket of Savannah. Lennon doesn't know it yet, but she is special. She possesses the innate gift of persuasion: the ability to wield her will like a weapon, controlling others, and even matter itself. But this is a devastating power than Lennon must learn how to master. While persuasion takes a heavy toll on her body and her mind, she is captivated by all that surrounds her - her studies, Drayton's lush campus and, most of all, Dante - the charismatic adviser who both intimidates and enamours her. But the longer that Lennon spends at Drayton, learning to wield her uncanny abilities, the more she uncovers about Drayton's unsettling history, and Dante's tragic and violent past. For it seems that the ultimate test is to embrace absolute power without succumbing to corruption and darkness . . . and it's a test she's terrified she is going to fail.

Po zaviatych stopách


Nebývalo samozrejmosťou, že písanie žien bolo akceptované verejnosťou. Žena mala napĺňať trojicu hodnôt: Küche, Kinder, Kirche (kuchyňa, deti, kostol) a literatúra bola prevažne doménou mužov. K priekopníčkam slovenskej ženskej spisby patrili, po prvej slovenskej poetke Ľudmile Podjavorinskej, aj Helena Riasnická, Maruša Jusková a Mária Jančová. Dlhoročný výskum Andrey Bokníkovej priniesol svoje ovocie v podobe tejto monografie, založenej na pôvodnom pramennom výskume, uvedenej štúdiou a doplnenej komentármi. Vydala sa po stopách lyrických zážitkov a básnických tvarov poetiek. Obohacuje tak znalosti o ženských vnútorných svetoch, ktorých jednotiacim prvkom bola konfesia. Počiatočným miestom stretnutia bol zborník Z mladej ženskej poézie (1941). To, čo poetky spájalo, bol pohyb slobodnej myšlienky. Každá prinášala vlastné špecifikum, od dedikačných básní po rituálne procesy tkania, materstva či vzťahu k chorému dieťaťu. Pohnuté životy poetiek mali aj svoje edičné osudy (Helena Riasnická bola autorkou bez samostatnej zbierky, jej básne v takmer súhrnnej zostave vychádzajú až v tejto knihe). Bokníková nás zasvätene a s pozoruhodnou znalosťou doby vovádza do literárneho priestoru, kde sa poetky stretávali s poprednými osobnosťami svojej doby: Rudolfom Dilongom, Tidom Jozefom Gašparom, Zorou Jesenskou, Leou Mrázovou, Jankom Silanom, Margitou Valehrachovou-Matulayovou a ďalšími. Kniha odkrýva menej známe alebo zabudnuté aspekty a línie v tvorbe slovenských poetiek a má ambíciu vrátiť niekdajšiu lyrickú samotu či družnosť do kultúrnej pamäti. Dana Podracká

The Bitter Water of the Lake


In the 1990s, Gaia’s family moves from the neglected peripheries of Rome to an idyllic lakeside town in search of a new life that will lift them out of poverty. Each of them bears their own scars: Gaia’s mother is fiercely determined to secure a better future for her children at any cost; her father, a once proud man, now suffers in bitter silence after a devastating accident; her anarchist older brother rebels against the political apathy he sees at home; and her young twin brothers wordlessly bear witness to a family in decay. When Gaia meets two local girls, Agata and Carlotta, the trio builds a fragile friendship. Gaia’s encounters with callous boys and contemptuous teachers convince her that she might always be an outsider—excluded from a privileged life and beyond the possibility of happiness. Winner of the Campiello Prize, The Bitter Water of the Lake is an unflinching portrait of a generation striving to make a place for themselves in a world markedly different from the one their parents promised them.

Generation GDR


A gripping account of East Germany in the late '70s and early '80s, and of one man's fated struggle for freedom. Friday, April 10th, 1981: 23-year-old Mathias Domaschk boards the fast train from Jena to Berlin, on his way to a birthday party. But he never arrives . . . The packed train is held up en route, and Mathias and three of his friends are apprehended, suspected of being part of a cell intent on disrupting the socialist party congress. Forty-eight hours later he is dead, following interrogation in the Stasi detention centre in Gera. What happened over those two days? Peter Wensierski's captivating book draws on multiple witness statements and extensive Stasi documentation to build a riveting and dramatic account, switching between Mathias's journey and the Stasi activities up to and through his arrest. He also places this tragedy against its broader political and social context to reveal the lives of a whole generation of young East Germans who just wanted live freely - and the contempt that the GDR authorities displayed for their humanity. Part reportage, part true crime, Generation GDR offers unique insights into the secret corridors of an authoritarian regime and delivers a powerful warning from history.
