Aby vzpomínky nevybledly jako číslo na mém předloktí
116927: číslo, které nosí Albrecht Weinberg i ve svých 98 letech dodnes na předloktí, s léty vybledlo. Jeho vzpomínky jsou však oproti tomu zcela zřetelné a jasné. Vzpomínky na mládí, vzestup nacistů, na přátele, kteří najednou přestali být přáteli, a na to, jak ztratil rodinu.
Také na Friedel, jeho sestru, s níž si slíbili, že na sebe budou jednou provždy dávat pozor.
Společně unikli holocaustu a emigrovali do USA. O desítky let později, když se Friedel už nedařilo dobře, se oba společně vrátili zpět do Německa. Albrecht ji tu provázel až do její smrti a při tom poznal její ošetřovatelku Gerdu. Teprve jí se otevřel a začal vyprávět svůj životní příběh. O své víře v dobro, navzdory všemu.
I o tom slibu, že přežije, aby vzpomínka žila dál.
Flyboy in the Buttermilk
An electrifying collection of essays from legendary cultural critic and Pulitzer Prize-winner Greg Tate
'Easily one of the greatest wordsmiths … [and] the best American writer and thinker of the past forty years' Washington Post
From one of the most original, creative, and provocative writers on American culture comes a now-classic collection of essays, delving 'far and wide into Black music, into film, into the beats and rhyme of culture' (Questlove).
These pieces orbit social, pop cultural, political, and economic subjects-- from the rise of hip-hop, the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the music of Miles Davis, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Brains, and many others, to the crisis of the Black intellectual and the irony of the GOP recruiting Black Americans. With unrivalled flair, Tate writes in a voice that is at once angry, joyous, self-critiquing, and dazzlingly witty.
Tate teaches us 'it is not too late to say too much, to be so dissatisfied with the world as it is that we throw far too many words toward the sky, and see what the heavens throw back' (Hanif Abdurraqib).
Válka jsme my
Povídková kniha Válka jsme my obsahuje deset dramatických příběhů Čechů a Slováků, zasazených do širokého časového rámce od druhé světové války přes Indočínu a Vietnam až po Afghánistán. Některé jsou inspirovány skutečnými osudy, jiné jsou fiktivní, všechny jsou však ukotveny v historických reáliích, které se odehrály, nebo se odehrát mohou.
Jak říká autor knihy: „Válka změní vše. Zažere se vám pod kůži, dostane do žaludku, změní se v nekonečnou noční můru. A je jedno, zda se odehrává na druhém konci světa, za humny, nebo na vlastním dvorku. Je všudypřítomná. VÁLKA JSME MY. Vždy tomu tak bylo a bude.“
The Housewife
"The Housewife is everything I look for in a thriller: fast-paced with red-hot mounting tension. I was hooked from the very first chapter." - Freida McFadden
From the celebrated author of Finders Keepers comes a brand new, deliciously dark thriller about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.
***
Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears-obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined-and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Natalie Barelli delivers a supercharged, addictive thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish-a must-read for psychological thriller and Freida McFadden fans.

She was expelled from the sport in disgrace. No team would take her. And Taissa has spent the last two years thinking of nothing but revenge.

The catch? To garner publicity and keep Taissa as the team's secret weapon, she and Kion are forced into a fake relationship. But Taissa and Kion only have two things in common: their love of the game and their undying hatred of each other.
Yet as a mysterious illness befalls the winged creatures of the league, they are forced to work together to save their team.

Lichočar
Brno. Rok 1999. Přemysl „Přemek“ Příhoda, doktorand Masarykovy univerzity, si připravuje podklady pro svou doktorskou tezi o tajemném božstvu, proplétajícím se dějinami. Z akademického zájmu se brzy stane touha, pak obsese, a pak… Lichočar, kniha vydaná autorkami ze stejnojmenné witch-folkové kapely, je knihou o putování – Evropou, pověstmi, lidovými vyprávěnkami a starými vírami. Je to kniha o paměti. Individuálních vzpomínkách zachycených v denících a emailech – našeho hrdiny, jeho kolegů, přátel, nepřátel i historických osobností. Ale též paměti krajiny zničené válkou, takové, přes kterou se převalily dějiny a většinu paměti si odnesly. Je to kniha detektivní. Spolu s Přemkem jdeme po stopách čehosi, co si bere jména, podoby a životy. Co způsobuje neštěstí a z rozmaru rozdává nevyžádané dary. Jako refrén celým příběhem zní licho, lichoradka, lichočar… A v neposlední řadě je to kniha o kráse. Kráse hledání i tápání, kráse vědění, kráse slovanské a vůbec evropské mytologie, kráse strachu a přírody. Na pomezí fantastiky, detektivky a exkurze do bájné minulosti stojí Lichočar a vás s potměšilým šklebem zve, abyste ho následovali. Ale pozor. Licho nespí… Licho ví.

Fans of dark academy fantasy and enemies-to-lovers tension will devour this gritty romantasy series from Debbie Cassidy. Gargoyles are meant to be unbreakable. Until they aren’t. The attack on the cadets shattered everything I knew. Now the academy is under lockdown, and betrayal bleeds through our ranks. With every secret exposed, my circle of trust shrinks to nothing. The only balm for my grief is vengeance—the promise of bringing down the graynite alpha. But his death will demand more power than I possess. Power that can only be earned by surviving the elite trial. So I’ll seal the fractures in my heart, breathe through the ache in my soul, and fight back. It’s time for retribution. But the path to justice is paved with lies. As secrets unravel, I’m forced to face the one certainty that remains—nothing will ever be the same again.

Ride the Pink Horse
Three desperate men converge in the midst of an annual carnival in New Mexico
Sailor used to be Senator Willis Douglass' protege. When he met the lawmaker, he was just a poor kid, living on the Chicago streets. Douglass took him in, put him through school, and groomed him to work as a confidential secretary. And as the senator's dealings became increasingly corrupt, he knew he could count on Sailor to clean up his messes.
Willis Douglass isn't a senator anymore; he left Chicago, Sailor, and a murder rap behind and set out for the sunny streets of Santa Fe. Now, unwilling to take the fall for another man's crime, Sailor has set out for New Mexico as well, with blackmail and revenge on his mind. But there's another man on his trail as well--a cop who wants the ex-senator for more than a payoff. In the midst of a city gone mad, bursting with wild crowds for a yearly carnival, the three men will violently converge...
The suspenseful tale that inspired one of the most beloved films noir of all time, Ride the Pink Horse is a tour-de-force that confirms Dorothy B. Hughes' status as a master of the mid-century crime novel.

The Moonsingers
In a quiet glen beyond the reach of the railway lives a peculiar family who knows the best magic is the kind found in ordinary moments.
When Ismay Gebhardt is dismissed from yet another teaching post after an unfortunate accident (which everyone survived!), she accepts a last-chance job as a private tutor in sleepy Glenmaidens village. The town is brimming with natural beauty, uncanny traditions, and earnest locals, none more unusual than her three young pupils-the Underhill sisters-and their puzzling father.
Determined to make herself useful after several catastrophic lessons with the unbiddable girls, Ismay writes to the transport bureau suggesting an extension to the train line, hoping to bring Glenmaidens into modernity. As usual, Ismay's good intentions lead to chaos with the arrival of the bureau's frustratingly thorough officer, Hamish Breck, whose railway plans threaten not only the glen's tranquility, but also the ancient oak tree at its heart. Amidst a mess of her own making, Ismay unearths Glenmaidens' enchanted secret: the Underhills, like many villagers, are fairies who settled in the mortal world in search of a gentler life, and the oak is their only bridge back to the moonlit realm of the fantastic.
As summer heat rises, Ismay schemes with her magical neighbors to prevent the extension, each day finding herself more entangled with the charming, persistent bureaucrat. With her newfound family, the way between worlds, and her heart all at risk, Ismay must decide how much she would bargain to finally embrace the wonder and belonging she's always wished for.
Witch Season - Broken Coven 1
Perfect for fans of Juno Dawson, Leigh Bardugo and Buffy, Witch Season is a grounded enemies-to-lovers urban fantasy that explores a world of competing covens, malevolent mentors, and the horror and power of stolen magic.
Katherine Barnes was an unsettled witch - a witch born to non-magical parents and saddled with a power she couldn't explain, let alone control.
Following a tragic accident that sent her running away from home at sixteen, the only reason Katherine survived was Sylvia Page, the leader of Los Angeles' Aestas Coven and a former unsettled witch herself, who scooped Katherine up and taught her how to harness the storm inside. Together, over the past thirteen years, Katherine and Sylvia turned Aestas into a halfway house for unsettled witches, creating the home neither of them got to have.
Enter Silas Khatri, the heir to the most influential coven in the country who has a mandate from his parents to bring the rogue Aestas Coven to heel.
Desperate to muscle Silas out of her territory, Sylvia makes an impulsive decision that gives her untold power - but at the cost of an unsettled teenager's life. Unaware of her mentor's betrayal, Katherine launches an investigation into the young witch's death.
As she unravels secrets that go back further than she ever knew, Katherine finds an unlikely ally in the man she thought she hated and an unexpected enemy in the woman who saved her future. With Silas' real motives and the depths of Sylvia's treachery all coming to light, Katherine has to decide what's more important - the family she's worked so hard to build, or the truth.

Letters 1944-1959
A bestseller in France, this is the first English translation of Albert Camus and Maria Casares' fascinating, impassioned letters - a record of one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century
You and I met and fell in love passionately, impatiently, dangerously. I regret nothing and I feel that these last days I've lived are enough to justify a life. - Albert Camus to Maria Casares, 1st July 1944
Their affair began in wartime Paris. Maria Casares, a young Spanish actress, was starring in a production of the great writer's play The Misunderstanding, and at an after-party hosted by Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, they embarked on a brief but passionate relationship. Separated by the end of the Occupation and the return of Camus's wife to Paris, the couple were reunited by chance one day on the boulevard Saint-Germain, and from that day forward - until the fatal car crash that took Camus's life in 1960 - they were inseparable.
Their correspondence, uninterrupted for over a decade, is testimony to the depth of their connection while also offering a vivid portrait of artistic life in post-war Europe. Camus and Casares debate books and politics; describe encounters with Colette, Cocteau, Gide and Picasso; discuss stardom and everyday life, their love of the sea and nature, their doubts and dreams. Above all, they describe a relationship that feels like an impossible gift.
Translated into English for the first time by Sandra Smith and Cory Stockwell, these 865 letters reveal the intimate personal lives of two extraordinary artists, and record one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century.
