House of Monstrous Women


A young woman is drawn into a dangerous game after being invited to the mazelike home of her childhood friend, a rumoured witch, in this gothic horror set in 1986 Philippines. Carigara, 1986. Josephine del Rosario is the town pariah, left destitute after her parents were assassinated, and destined to marry a man twice her age. So when Hiraya Ranoco, an old friend, offers Josephine an escape, she can't say no. All she needs to do is spend one night in the Ranoco's home and play a children's game of hide and seek. If she wins, she can have anything she wants. Even, perhaps, Hiraya's heart. But the manor is sprawling and nightmarish, crawling with insects and rotting from the inside out. The servants stand silently in corners and won't meet her eye. Worst of all, the house itself seems to want to trap Josephine. She must stay hidden until morning, but can she make it through the night?

A Csillagfény Jelzőállomás sokkoló elpusztítását követően a Nihil létrehozta az áthatolhatatlan Zárt Zónát. A Viharfal mögött Marchion Ro az úr: követői akár egyetlen csettintésére is szörnyű pusztításba kezdenek. Az ellenséges vonalak mögött ragadt Jedik - köztük Avar Kriss - a Nihil által fosztogatott bolygók segítségére sietnek, így folyamatosan egy lépéssel a kalózok és a félelmetes névtelenek előtt kell járniuk. Mindeközben Elzar Mann, Bell Zettifar és a többi Jedi a Köztársasággal közösen igyekszik kapcsolatot teremteni a Zárt Zónában rekedt világokkal.

De még ha sikerül is a Köztársaság és a Jedik erőinek áttörnie a Viharfalon, miként szállnak majd harcba a Jedik és az Erő kapcsolatán élősködő névtelenekkel? És vajon milyen további rémségeket tartogat még nekik Marchion Ro? Ha a Jedi Rend és a Köztársaság nem jár sikerrel, a galaxis újraegyesítésének minden reménye odaveszhet...

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.

A könyvlabirintus vándora


1885, Parizs. Aubry Tourvel, a lobbanékony természetű kilencéves kislány az iskolából hazafelé menet egy különös, fából készült labdaféleségre bukkan. Átgurítja a szomszéd udvarba, azonban nemsokára a hátizsákjában találja meg. Újra és újra megpróbál megszabadulni tőle, de a labda valami csoda folytán minduntalan visszakerül hozzá. Este a vacsoraasztalnál Aubry váratlanul rosszul lesz. Szüleivel elindulnak az orvoshoz, és ahogy egyre távolodnak az otthonuktól, a kislány állapota meglepetésszerűen javulni kezd. Ekkor még nem sejti, hogy ez a kezdete élethosszig tartó vándorlásának. A rejtélyes betegség ugyanis nem engedi, hogy néhány napnál tovább megmaradjon bárhol is, vagy visszatérjen azokra a helyekre, ahol korábban már járt. A Szahara dűnéitől a Himalája hófödte csúcsain át a dzsungelig, egy párizsi udvar feneketlen kútjától egy végtelen föld alatti könyvtárig követjük Aubry magányos bolyongását, miközben próbál végre otthonra találni. De minél messzebbre jut, és minél kétségbeesettebben próbál kapcsolódni másokhoz, annál inkább ráébred arra, hogy nem a cél, hanem az út tesz minket azzá, akik vagyunk.
