Night & Day
Following the highly acclaimed Nocturnes and Night Music, Night & Day is filled with eerie surprises and dark delights. Night & Day takes us from the dusty shelves of an uncanny library filled with fictional characters to a bunker deep beneath the earth where scientists seek revenge on old Nazis, from an English marsh haunted by a mother and her son to a country house where a grieving widower finds comfort in a most unlikely source. Concluding with the author's account of how an obscure horror film brought him closer to his lost father, and how nostalgia can help through our hardest times, this is a collection that will move, entertain, and keep you reading late into the night.
Marguerite Yourcenar: A Dream of Stone
A selection of texts on art and artists by the Belgian French novelist and essayist Marguerite Yourcenar
Best known for her seminal novel Memoirs of Hadrian (1951), an imagined autobiography of the Roman emperor, Yourcenar brings the same depth of inquiry and inventive speculation to her lyric prose on art and artists in this newest title in the ekphrasis series. In these five jewel-like essays, Yourcenar meditates on the decay of time, the desire both satiated and refused by art, and the imagery animating the lives, works, and dreams of Michelangelo, Dürer, and Piranesi. And in an intimate mediation on the historical novel, Yourcenar describes her own encounters with how language reveals the past. Together these exquisite essays explore that fundamental awe - perhaps even the terror - at the heart of an encounter with beauty.
An introduction by John Knight sketches the life of this extraordinary writer and situates Yourcenar’s unique criticism within her attempt to capture the great struggle required to make an enduring work of art. Subtle and learned, Yourcenar’s essays are like stepping stones into the past and the shadowy business of artistic creation. Bringing back into print Yourcenar’s seminal essay “The Dark Brain of Piranesi” in the poet Richard Howard’s elegant English translation, conducted in collaboration with the author, this volume also collects texts from That Mighty Sculptor, Time (1983) into a particularly focused volume.
A New Hercule Poirot Mystery The Last of the Tear

New Year's Eve, 1932.
Hercule Poirot and his good friend Inspector Edward Catchpool arrive on the Greek island of Lamperos for a little holiday…or is it?

The Meaning of Liff
From Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and John Lloyd (Blackadder, Spitting Image, QI), this is the 42nd anniversary edition of The Meaning of Liff. Revised, updated and ready to change your life.
In life, there are hundreds of familiar experiences, feelings and objects for which no words exist, yet hundreds of strange words are idly loafing around on signposts, pointing at places. The Meaning of Liff connects the two. This is a hilariously essential dictionary of things there should be words for - where all the words themselves are recycled place names.
BERRIWILLOCK (n.) – An unknown workmate who writes ‘All the best’ on your leaving card.
ELY (n.) – The first, tiniest inkling that something, somewhere has gone terribly wrong.
GRIMBISTER (n.) – Large body of cars on a motorway all travelling at exactly the speed limit because one of them is a police car.
KETTERING (n.) – The marks left on your bottom or thighs after sunbathing on a wickerwork chair.
OCKLE (n.) – An electrical switch which appears to be off in both positions.
WOKING (ptcpl.vb.) – Standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.
42 years later, The Meaning of Liff is back, but in a snazzier jacket.
Think of it as a mid-liff crisis.

Holiday Ever After (Deluxe)
Clara Davenport wants to solve Fraser Falls' biggest problem.
According to Jack Kelly, Clara is Fraser Falls' biggest problem.
All Clara Davenport has ever wanted to do is climb the ladder at Davenport Innovation Creative. Everything was going to plan until the company was accused of stealing a doll design from an independent toy maker. With a promotion dangled in front of her, Clara is tasked with charming the locals of the small town of Fraser Falls and solving the PR nightmare by any means necessary.
Jack Kelly would happily never hear the name Davenport ever again. So, when Clara, with her long legs and dazzling smile, prances into town hoping to convince them that her company is not the enemy, Jack is determined not to be fooled by Davenport twice.
Clara's plan to win over the community should have been easy, but she didn't account for Jack getting in her way, and under her skin, at every turn. And when the tension between them starts to boil over, she realises that beneath his frosty demeanour lies the key to the town's heart - and maybe her own.
Le Morte d'Arthur
All the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are collected in this illustrated volume.
Central figures in medieval literature, King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today.

This beautiful leather-bound volume, which includes intricate line illustrations by renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley, will be a treasured edition of classic Arthurian folklore in any home library.

Vaim
Jatgeir has come from Vaim to the big city, Bjorgvin, on his wooden boat, Eline, named after the long-lost love of his teenage years. He intends to buy a needle and thread to sew a button but he is cheated, twice. That night, while sleeping on his boat, he hears a familiar voice: unexpectedly, it is Eline, who wants to come home to Vaim with him.
She leaves a note for her husband Frank, packs her bags and runs away while he is out fishing. Vaim, Jon Fosse’s first novel since he received the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature, is the story of this triangle, a novel about little boats and big boats, love and death, passive men and an incredibly determined woman. And all, of course, was strange…
Beasts of the Sea

A tribute to an iconic lost creature, and an adventure through three centuries of scientific exploration, Beasts of the Seacharts the unseen consequences of grand human ambitions and the urge to resurrect what we, in our ignorance, have destroyed.
Our Vicious Oaths
"An instant romantasy classic!" -- Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author
Enter a new world of romantic fantasy from award-winning author N.E. Davenport—a journey of powerful magic, enemies-to-lovers, and political intrigue—as a warrior-princess and a vengeful king from rival fae courts form a fierce alliance to take down a merciless despot.
Princess of the Aether Dominion, Kadeesha wants nothing to do with fae politics. She is a warrior, first and foremost, and believes her greatest strength is leading her squadron of elite winged serpent flyers to protect her homeland. But bound since infancy to be betrothed to the Hyperion High King, ruler of all Dominions, she has no choice but to do what men have chosen for her.
Repulsed by the idea, she decides to spend one last night of freedom—in the arms of a dangerous stranger who takes her to sexual heights she’s never experienced before…but who is only using Kadeesha to set a trap for the High King.
For the High King and the kings of his six Dominions were responsible for the decimation of the Apollyon Court, and its new king, Malachi, wants his pounds of flesh.
On Kadeesha’s wedding day, Malachi and his special forces attack. Her father is killed, and Malachi wounds the High King, ultimately taking Kadeesha as hostage back to his land.
But she is no true hostage. The two form a pact: she will help lure the High King so Malachi can kill him once and for all, and he in turn will not harm Kadeesha or the Aether people. And as much as Kadeesha hates politics, she is now the Queen of her folk. Fae bonds are unbreakable…and so, perhaps, is the attraction Kadeesha and Malachi feel for each other. For even as they must publicly display their connection to provoke the High King’s jealousy, they struggle to resist the powerful allure between them in order to achieve their ultimate goals.

Štvrté krídlo – Rozšírené špeciálne vydanie
Toto špeciálne vydanie obsahuje tri bonusové kapitoly zo Xadenovho pohľadu, z ktorých jedna ešte nebola doteraz v slovenskom preklade nikde publikovaná. Zároveň sa fanúšičky a fanúšikovia môžu tešiť na unikátny obojstranný prebal a nádherné ilustrované predsádky.
Dvadsaťročná Violet Sorrengailová mala vstúpiť do Pisárskeho kvadrantu a prežiť pokojný život medzi knihami a dejinami. Veliaca generálka a zhodou okolností aj jej tvrdohlavá matka ju však donútila zúčastniť sa na výbere medzi elitných dračích jazdcov.
No ak ste útlejší a nižší než stovky ostatných kandidátov, smrť vám doslova dýcha na krk. Draci si totiž málokedy vyberajú "krehkých" ľudí. Tých pália na popol.
Keďže drakov, čo by si vybrali Violet, je ako šafranu, väčšina kadetov by ju najradšej zniesla zo sveta, len aby zvýšili vlastné šance. Pre iných, napríklad pre mocného a nemilosrdného veliteľa krídla v Jazdeckom kvadrante Xadena Riorsona, je tŕňom v oku Violetin pôvod.
Ak chce Violet prežiť, musí sa spoľahnúť na svoj dôvtip.
S každým dňom je však vojna za hranicami akadémie čoraz krvavejšia, obrana kráľovstva zlyháva a počet mŕtvych narastá. Navyše sa zdá, že velitelia skrývajú hrôzostrašné tajomstvo.

Výnimočný stav
Za celý svoj už relatívne dlhý život som sa nestretol s takou mohutnou vlnou zla, ktoré sa dnes valí z úst takého obrovského množstva ľudí, a to do tejto životnej skúsenosti započítavam aj komunistickú diktatúru,“ píše Martin M. Šimečka vo svojej knihe. To zlo sa nazýva fašizmus a má charakter pandémie, ktorá napáda ľudskú myseľ a šíri sa po území západnej civilizácie. Rozumieme však príčinám, pre ktoré je fašizmus späť? A ak im rozumieme, stratí tým na sile? Ako premýšľať o ľuďoch, ktorí sa vzdali rozumu, a o mlčiacej, pasívnej väčšine? A je vôbec nutné o nich premýšľať?
Martin M. Šimečka sa obratne pohybuje medzi spomienkami na život v disente, myšlienkami historikov a spisovateľov a úvahami o povahe zla, o hlúposti, vzdore aj priateľstve, o paralelnej spoločnosti, ktorá si vytvára vlastné pravidlá a žije nezávisle od väčšiny, aby našiel odpoveď na otázku: ako žiť dobrý život v krajine, ktorá sa odvracia od demokracie?
