Temný Olymp 5: Kruté svádění


Byl mým nepřítelem. Mým milencem. Mým manželem. A já před celým Olympem přísahala, že ho zničím. Afrodita se nikdy nebála umazat si své dokonale pěstěné ruce a teď s tím rozhodně nehodlá začínat, přestože to znamená, že se musí provdat za úhlavního nepřítele Olympu, nového Héfaista. Má krutý plán, jak svého novomanžela vyvést z rovnováhy – svede patrně jediného člověka, na kterém mu záleží, a sice krásnou a laskavou Pandoru. Takovou hru však mohou hrát jen dva a Héfaistos by s až příliš velkou radostí srazil své manželce hřebínek. Její bývalý přítel, Adonis, vypadá jako ideální zbraň. A není na škodu, že se pyšní strhující krásou padlých andělů. Ovšem použít svádění jako zbraň má jistá úskalí. Velmi snadno se do věcí totiž může zapojit srdce. Héfaistos a Afrodita si vyměňují jedovaté poznámky, ale až příliš jim to připomíná předehru. Hranice se stírají a emoce zamotávají, ale zlomené srdce možná bude tou nejmenší z jejich starostí. Neklid v Olympu dosahuje nových výšin a jejich postelové hrátky by mohly mít smrtelné následky nejen pro ně, ale i pro celý Olymp a všechny, které se naučili milovat. Žhavé moderní převyprávění mýtu o Afroditě a Héfaistovi (a Pandoře a Adonisovi).

The Orange Room


A poised and vivid story of a young woman finding her way back to herself for fans of Coco Mellors and Megan Nolan Rhianne is not who she used to be, or who she wants to be either. Art school has shattered her confidence. So, she moves back to her rural family home in the West Country and dives into the high-pressure world of a hotel kitchen, where sharp knives and hot plates leave little time to think about what happened in London. Her dad, Dominic, is relieved to have her close, while her step-mum, Melissa, treads clumsily but with compassion. But then there's Callum, the enigmatic chef with a controlled manner and an intense gaze. There's attraction, compulsion, and maybe even a little inspiration. As Rhianne reconnects with her art, she starts to heal. But to truly move forward, Rhianne must find the courage to see herself - and those around her - in full colour for the first time.

A Resistance of Witches


1940, and war rages across Europe. The future looks bleak. But now, emerging from the shadows, the Royal Academy of Witches offers its help. And so it is tasked with finding an ancient artefact that, were it to fall into Nazi hands, would help Hitler fulfil his twisted Aryan dream . . . Stubborn, plain-spoken and from an unimpressive family, Lydia Polk never expected to be chosen to work under Isadora Goode, the Grand Mistress of the Royal Academy of Witches. Now, three years into her apprenticeship, and with Hitler’s armies rampaging across Europe, the Witches of Britain have joined the war effort – but not without some resistance from within, the British government having originally forced the witches into hiding. As Lydia’s power grows, she too joins the cause, tracking down magical relics in order to keep them out of Nazi hands. But a Nazi witch infiltrates the Academy with heart-breaking consequences and suddenly Lydia’s mission becomes even more urgent . . . Somewhere out there, hidden amidst the chaos of war, is the Grimorium Bellum - an ancient book that Hitler craves, a book so steeped in dark magic that it has the power to wipe out civilisations - an artefact that Lydia must find and secure at all costs. Dropped into the heart of Occupied France, Lydia finds allies in Rebecca Gagne, a French resistance fighter with a secret, and Henry Boudreaux, a Haitian-American art historian who seems to possess a little magic of his own. But tracking down this book is only half the battle - for the Grimorium Bellum seems to have a dark agenda all of its own . . .

Exophony


'Tawada's strange, exquisite book toys with ideas of language, identity and what it means to own someone else's story or one's own' The New Yorker on Tawada's Memoirs of a Polar Bear Are you formed by your mother tongue? How might the world unfold if you stepped outside of its rhythms? In this playful and daring interrogation of language, the globally acclaimed Yoko Tawada reveals the poetics, politics and potential of existing outside one's mother tongue. From Senegalese writers discarding colonial-enforced French to the increasing use of loan words in her native Japanese, Tawada deconstructs the ways in which the world shapes and is shaped by languages: their hidden systems of power, their sweeping histories and, ultimately, the people who claim, reject, adapt or romanticise them. Exophony is an invitation to revel in the possibilities that emerge when we dare to seek beyond the familiar - and a sharp, incisive series of essays in which Tawada's erudite wit and multidimensional curiosity sing.

The Bewitching


Three women in three different eras encounter danger and witchcraft in this eerie multigenerational horror saga from the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic. 'Moreno-Garcia is a deft enchantress - this is a ghost story in high Gothic style' - M.L. Rio, author of If We Were Villains 'Back then, when I was a young woman, there were still witches': that was how Nana Alba always began the stories she told her great-granddaughter Minerva - stories that have stayed with Minerva all her life. Perhaps that's why Minerva has become a graduate student focused on the history of horror literature and is researching the life of Beatrice Tremblay, an obscure author of macabre tales. In the course of assembling her thesis, Minerva uncovers information that reveals that Tremblay's most famous novel, The Vanishing, was inspired by a true story: decades earlier, during the Great Depression, Tremblay attended the same university where Minerva is now studying and became obsessed with her beautiful and otherworldly roommate, who then disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As Minerva descends ever deeper into Tremblay's manuscript, she begins to sense that the malign force that stalked Tremblay and the missing girl might still walk the halls of the campus. These disturbing events also echo the stories Nana Alba told about her girlhood in 1900s Mexico, where she had a terrifying encounter with a witch. Minerva suspects that the same shadow that darkened the lives of her great-grandmother and Beatrice Tremblay is now threatening her own in 1990s Massachusetts. An academic career can be a punishing pursuit, but it might turn outright deadly when witchcraft is involved.

Chinatown


A selection of the best short stories by Oh Jung-hee, one of South Korea's most influential writers In this emblematic selection of her stories, Oh Jung-hee probes beneath the surface of seemingly quotidian lives to expose nightmarish family configurations warped by desertion, psychosis, and death. In 'Chinatown' a young girl living on the edge of the city's Chinese community comes of age among mundane violences, collisions with adult sexuality and the American occupation; in 'The Garden Party' a woman grapples with her conflicting identities of wife, mother and writer at an alcohol-fuelled gathering. Throughout a career spanning six decades, Oh Jung-hee has drawn comparisons to Alice Munro, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce Carol Oates, and is assuredly a trailblazing writer.

Kniha nového slunce 5: Urth Nového Slunce


V Knize Nového Slunce sepsal Severián Veliký, autarcha Společenství a právoplatný vládce Urthu, kroniku svého osudu až do chvíle, kdy nastoupil dalekou plavbu a na palubě nejzvláštnějšího plavidla v celém vesmíru se vydal čelit nejtěžší zkoušce svého života. Nyní se nám dostává do rukou jeho zpráva o dobrodružstvích a záhadách, které jeho cestu provázely, o samotné zkoušce, již podstoupil jménem celého lidstva, a prazvláštním putování po místech považovaných za nadobro ztracená… Gene Wolfe se po dovršení Knihy Nového Slunce ještě naposledy vrací k postavě Severiána a přímočaře zodpovídá mnohé otázky, jejichž řešení si čtenáři tetralogie mohli pouze domýšlet. Nebyl by to však on, kdyby na oplátku nepřidal vrchovatou porci nových tajemství a nerozmáchl se k alegorii přesahující nejen čas, ale i celý vesmír, jak jej známe.
