Welcome to the Chaoskampf


'Imagine an apocalypse so queer, sultry, and heat-soaked that you wrap your arms around it and give it a lush kiss' Chelsea G. Summers, author of A Certain Hunger'Sizzling with juicy irreverence, Welcome to the Chaoskampf chooses life at its messiest, and fullest' Gerardo Sámano Córdova, author of Monstrilio'As stunningly outrageous as it is eerily real . . . this book is tremendous' Michelle Tea, author of ValenciaThe year that Florida fell into the sea, I killed a man and joined a cult and ran away to Mexico. I ate human flesh for the first time. It’s another sticky summer in New Orleans, and the world is ending. Tourists are descending on the city, natural disasters abound, and Marcy’s old boxing scar has reopened. It’s enough to make any girl want to take her seemingly perfect life and set it all on fire. So when Marcy meets a crew of degenerate filmmakers hell-bent on summoning the apocalypse, she lets herself be swept into their world of filth, arson and debauchery. They think her scar might mark her as their Chosen one, and she's never been able to resist a bit of flattery. Who wouldn't want to bring about a revolution? But the more entangled she becomes in their world, the harder it is to resist the very power she swore to burn . . .

Noisy Valley


“It’s about what ordinary people do, because what we do... is quite extraordinary.”Protest matters, and never more so than today – and yet our rights around dissent have been eroded in law. Noisy Valley is a beautifully illustrated work of graphic non-fiction exploring the importance of protest, and what it can achieve, through the voices of one vibrant community. In every neighbourhood there are the activists, the ones who raise their voices. Myfanwy Tristram visited the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, inviting local people to recount their memories of the times they’d refused to take things lying down. Noisy Valley is the result: a graphic retelling of protests both past and present. The area is best known for the miners’ strikes of the 1980s (and their support from the LGBT movement as documented in the film Pride), but its spirit of righteous dissent continues to rise against injustice. These stories tell how communities and individuals pushed back on a landfill site that poisoned local streams, a waste processing plant that destroyed an area of natural beauty, sexism in the workplace, and the closure of the local hospital. We dip into the historic Aldermaston marches and the Greenham women’s peace camp too. Noisy Valley is a testament to protestors who – whatever the political climate – have believed in their power to get things changed.

Andromeda


A myth rewritten. A name reclaimed. Blessed by the gods with unparalleled beauty, Andromeda lives a life of ease within her Aethiopian palace walls. Content with her sanctuary, the young princess has no concerns other than the royal expectations her parents have for her - until a single, fateful proclamation changes everything. When the queen defies the gods with a blasphemous claim, Poseidon, fearsome God of the Seas, delivers a deadly ultimatum that puts the queen's life in Andromeda's hands. Poseidon sends his loyal servant, the shape-shifting Ceto, to seal the princess's fate. But Ceto is not just a servant. With a sharp tongue and hardened heart, she has little interest in the princess's appearance - and even less in the games of gods. Yet an undeniable tension begins to bloom between them, and both quickly realise Andromeda's beauty is not only a gift, but a weapon to wield. As Poseidon's judgement draws ever closer, the two women find themselves pulled into something far more passionate - and dangerous - than either could have predicted...

The Given World


April brings spring surging with it, giving rise, among many in the village, to a comforting illusion that all is somehow still right with the world, and that nothing will ever change. In the ancient Welm Valley, something is shifting: the river is behaving oddly, while the arrival of spring, with its familiar rhythms, is shadowed by an undercurrent of unease. A woman falls while out walking and hopes to be found before nightfall; a doctor realises, too late, that he has long underestimated his wife; across the village, people are plagued by the same vast and unsettling dream. And alone in a converted priory, overlooking watermeadows unchanged for centuries, Clare Grey receives news which will force her to reconsider her family's past and the fresh weight of her solitary existence.

Ženy slova


Není to proto, že by ženy nepsaly. Aby stvořily díla, která si stále zaslouží pozornost, musely odložit vařečky a vystoupit z rolí manželek a matek.

Oblíbená autorka Jana Poncarová představuje intimní portréty osmi spisovatelek, na které školní osnovy zapomněly: F. Háj, Felix Téver, Růžena Svobodová, Amálie Kutinová, Vlasta Javořická, Olga Barényi, Marie Majerová a Popelka Biliánová.

A House in Sicily


During WWII, a young Tuscan woman falls in love with a man from the rural depths of southern Italy. As the conflict finally draws to a close, the two travel from Rome to finally meet with his family. But very quickly a dawning realisation breaks: her in-laws and their friends are eccentric in the extreme. They barely leave the house and they rarely speak to their son, fretting instead about their 'daughter' - a loud little dog - and worrying constantly, incessantly, about the weather. And, worst of all, they speak with a nostalgic warmth about the region's recently overthrown fascist regime… Translated by Ann Goldstein, the world-renowned translator of Elena Ferrante, A House in Sicily is a brilliantly funny, razor sharp examination of family life in the shadow of the darkest period of modern Italian history, and the most exciting rediscovered European classic in decades.
