Untamed Heart


Welcome to The Diamond Back Ranch: where the cowboys are hot, the drama is real, and city girls like Lottie Wright are in way over their heads. Lottie has spent her whole life chasing success - or at least what it's supposed to look like. The perfect corporate job. The perfect banker boyfriend. The perfect life in London. But when she's suddenly fired and catches her boyfriend cheating, she does what any totally rational person would do . . . and gets on a plane to her family's ranch in Wyoming. Cole Miller is a rugged ex-rodeo star and absolutely not interested in a city girl playing cowgirl on the Diamond Back ranch - even if they did end up in a steamy tangle on her arrival in Jackson Hole. But as Lottie trades designer suits for cowboy boots, she starts to realise she might be a little more country than she thought. And when a rival ranch threatens everything, she's not about to let them win, especially when it means proving to Cole - and herself - that she's got what it takes to earn her place. A slow-burn, high-heat cowboy romance with banter, tension, and a love as wild as the Rockies.

A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year


"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." ? Mark Twain Cats and literature go together like tea and cake. It's not that you can't have one without the other, but there is a certain rightness to the pairing. Writers have chosen many animal companions over the years - often dogs, sometimes a raven (Charles Dickens) or, most oddly, a wombat (Dante Gabriel Rossetti) - but perhaps the most common is the cat. From Six Dinner Sid and T.S. Eliot's rebellious Rum Tum Tugger to the infuriating Cheshire Cat of Wonderland and Behemoth the Cat, the demonic shapeshifter of Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, A Literary Cat for Every Day of the Year draws together quotes and passages from poems and stories in celebration of the most famous cats in literature. A must-have for all cat-lovers and book lovers, this inspirational collection is the perfect gift for feline fans to treasure all year long.

The Midnight Shift


A bestseller in Korea, a biting, fast-paced vampire murder mystery exploring queer love and the consequences of loneliness. When four isolated elderly people die back-to-back at the same hospital by jumping out of the sixth-floor window, Su-Yeon doesn't understand why she's the only one at her precinct that seems to care. But her colleagues at the police force dismiss the case as a series of unfortunate suicides due to the patients' loneliness. But Su-Yeon doesn't have the privilege of looking away: her dearest friend, Grandma Eun-Shim, lives on the sixth floor, and Su-Yeon is terrified that something will happen to her next. As Su-Yeon begins her investigation alone, she runs into a mysterious woman named Violette at the crime scene. Violette claims to be a vampire hunter, searching for her ex-lover, Lily, and is insistent that a vampire is behind the mysterious deaths. Su-Yeon is skeptical at first, but when a fifth victim jumps from the window, her investigation reveals the body was completely drained of blood. Desperate to discover the cause of the deaths, Su-Yeon considers Violette's explanation-that something supernatural is involved. The Midnight Shift is a gripping mystery, overflowing with commentary about societal isolation and loneliness, the sharp knife of grief, and the effects of marginalization, perfect for readers of Cursed Bunny; Woman, Eating; and A Certain Hunger.

Vládci jídla


Jaká je souvislost mezi rajčatovým protlakem, tuňákem, sójou a vepřovým masem? V současné době se z těchto potravin staly komodity – jejich hodnotou není kvalita, ale schopnost generovat zisk nadnárodních kobylkových společností. V této globální hře prohráváme my všichni a planeta, kde žijeme. Drancování přírody, nesmyslné převážení potravin tisíce kilometrů, špatně placení, strádající dělníci, nejčastěji uprchlíci, rozklad lokálních společností a zamořování půdy a vody – tak můžeme shrnout realitu průmyslu, který teoreticky vznikl proto, aby nás nakrmil. Ve skutečnosti ale kvalita jídla klesá a stoupají pouze zisky majitelů několika společností. Italský novinář Stefano Liberti mnoho let jezdí po celém světě a sleduje fungování globálního trhu – dlouhou dobu strávil mezi migranty na cestě mezi Afrikou a Evropou, psal a točil o uprchlících, malých farmářích přicházejících o půdu i zdroje obživy, naposledy se vrátil do Itálie a věnoval knihu důsledkům klimatické krize. Vládci jídla nejsou radostné čtení, ačkoli nám Liberti ukazuje i pozitivní příklady – třeba farmy, kde se snaží chovat prasata tak, aby zažila pohyb venku a měla důstojný život, neúnavné aktivisty bojující proti Goliášům. Zároveň se ale ptá, zda jsou spotřebitelé ochotni zaplatit za „šťastné maso“ víc. Jestli je bohatá společnost ochotná se omezovat, když své problémy vyvezla jinam. Možná ano – když se jí ty problémy začnou vracet domů. Majetnější Evropané dnes rádi nakupují na farmářských trzích, ale byli to právě oni, kdo na začátku přesunul výrobu do zemí, kde je práce levnější a nehledí se na ekologické důsledky. Velkou roli v potravinovém průmyslu, stejně jako v řadě jiných odvětví, dnes hraje Čína. Na celém světě je ale proces podobný: malí farmáři nemají možnost vzdorovat velkým firmám. Liberti říká – za chvíli nám dojde prostor. Kobylkovým společnostem na tom nezáleží. Reportáž Vládci jídla vychází v překladu Pavly Přívozníkové v edici Prokletí reportéři.
