Už ti nikdy viac nepoviem ocko


Hanba musí zmeniť stranu. Proces, ktorý otriasa svetom. Matka, ktorá je oslavovaná ako ikona. Otec, ktorého nazývajú monštrom. Dcéra, ktorá bojuje o prežitie. Pretože je súčasťou zločinu, v ktorom sú jej rodičia obeťami aj páchateľmi. Toto je jej príbeh. Caroline Darianová, dcéra Dominiquea Pelicota a Gis?le Pelicotovej, 2. novembra 2020 zdvihla telefón. Na druhej strane sa ozval náčelník polície z Carpentras a oznámil jej, že policajti zadržali jej otca a zabavili jeho počítač. To, čo v ňom našli, bolo nepredstaviteľné: od roku 2013 drogoval svoju manželku a ponúkal ju cudzím mužom, zatiaľ čo bola v bezvedomí. Za tieto stretnutia nežiadal žiadnu odmenu. Existujú aj osudové fotografie Caroline. Rovnako ako jej matka si ani ona nepamätá na nespočetné znásilnenia. Caroline Darianová s mimoriadnou odvahou rozpráva o páde do bezodnej priepasti. V denníku opisuje, ako rozsah zločinu storočia zničil jej rodinu. Ako chce chrániť svoju matku a zároveň bojuje s úzkosťou. Ako sa z milovaného otca stal brutálny násilník. Ako vysvetľuje svojmu synovi, že už nemá starého otca. Caroline sa snaží pochopiť, ako mohlo dôjsť k niečomu tak nepredstaviteľnému.Táto kniha je svedectvom o násilí, o chemickom podrobení a o temnej sile, ktorú dokáže zneužívať domáca lekárnička. "Nesiem si strašné bremeno: som dieťaťom obete a zároveň dieťaťom páchateľa. Už roky sa snažím vybudovať si nový život. V jedinom okamihu som prišla o všetky istoty, na ktorých stála moja identita. Môj svet sa zrútil do priepasti. Minulosť sa zosypala, ale čo prinesie budúcnosť? Čo si má človek predstaviť ďalej, keď mu osud rozdá takéto karty? Počas dvoch rokov po otcovom zatknutí sme sa ako rodina potácali v temnom labyrinte. Každé otvorené dvere odhalili nové hrôzy a za nimi ďalšie chodby, ďalšie zločiny, ktoré sa tiahli čoraz hlbšie do minulosti. Každé odhalenie prinieslo len ďalšie otázky. Márne som sa snažila pochopiť, kým v skutočnosti bol muž, ktorý ma vychoval. Ešte aj dnes sa pýtam, ako je možné, že som si nič nevšimla. Nič netušila. Roky mamu trýznil, a to mu nikdy neodpustím. A predsa... obraz otca, o ktorom som si kedysi myslela, že poznám, sa mi stále vracia. Žije vo mne. Je ukrytý v pozadí, no až príliš často sa prediera na povrch. Mojím cieľom je týmto svedectvom upozorniť aj na málo známu, no nesmierne nebezpečnú realitu chemickej manipulácie – nielen vo Francúzsku, ale po celom svete. Táto pliaga sa neobmedzuje len na „drogu znásilnenia“ podanú v bare. Niekedy sa ukrýva v našich vlastných domácich lekárničkách. A nezneužívajú ju len neznámi útočníci, avšak ľudia, ktorým sme kedysi dôverovali. Benzodiazepíny (alebo anxiolytiká), lieky na spanie a mnohé iné psychoaktívne látky stoja za množstvom sexuálnych útokov a zasahujú všetky spoločenské a profesijné vrstvy." Od vydania svojho svedectva založila občianske združenie Zastavme chemické podrobenie (#Mendorspas), ktoré je oporou pre obete a vzdeláva zdravotnícky personál v tejto oblasti. Táto nová edícia obsahuje aj doteraz nevydaný predslov, ktorý Caroline napísala v predvečer procesu so svojím otcom. Silný, odvážny a nezabudnuteľný hlas, ktorý odhaľuje temnú stránku násilia páchaného na ženách a ukazuje, aká dôležitá je odvaha postaviť sa mu.

All Rhodes Lead Here - Minden út hozzád vezet


Egy kisváros a hegyekben. Egy második esély. Egy szerelem, ami hazavezet. Aurora De La Torre pontosan tudja, hogy nem lesz egyszerű visszaköltözni a coloradói Pagosa Springsbe. Valaha ez volt az otthona, most azonban édesanyja elvesztésének fájó emlékét őrzi. Mindent újrakezdeni enélkül sem lenne egyszerű feladat. De miután hosszú idő után szakított híres zenész pasijával, egy hegyi kisváros tökéletes menedék lehet összetört szívének. És talán a szomszédban lakó vonzó főbérlője látványa is segíthet a gyógyulásban. Csakhogy nem is Tobias Rhodes adta ki neki a lakást, hanem a kamasz fia, Amos. Rhodes mogorva, zárkózott férfi, aki vérmesen óvja a családját, és nem bízik az idegenekben, így kezdetben igyekszik távol tartani magától a mindig derűs Orát. Ám a közös erdei túrák és kandalló melletti hosszú beszélgetések lassan lebontják a falakat köztük – és szoros barátságuk hamarosan életre szóló szerelemmé mélyül. A slow burn romantikus könyvek királynője, Mariana Zapata újdonsága arról mesél, hogyan talál rá az ember a szerelemre a legváratlanabb pillanatban… „Nem minden romantikus történet indul tűzijátékkal.” – The Diary of a Reader – „…imádom a lassan kibontakozó románcokat és ezt az otthonos, meghitt atmoszférát.” – Embibliophile, goodreads.com – Engedd, hogy a szíved hazataláljon! Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog! Felnőtt olvasóinknak ajánljuk!

Searoad


Searoad is a sandy track that runs between the town of Klatsand and the rugged Oregon coast. Across this stretch, locals with roots in the town overlap with visitors staying in its run-down motels: a man questions his wife's desire to be a poet; a summering librarian indulges in an affair; a waitress recalls the shooting of her teenage daughter by her own husband. And always, women walk on the long, long beach. And as the narrative shifts from the horizontal present to the vertical past, a four-generation chain of mothers and daughters reaches back to Klatsand's beginnings - and forward to its future. In Searoad, trailblazing feminist author Ursula K. Le Guin paints a vivid and powerfully evocative portrait of a small community built over the course of a century.

Having Spent Life Seeking


Rothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind. The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there. Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different. A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. This book is about things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen.

The Hyena's Daughter


From Ali Smith: “The Hyena’s Daughter tells the far-too-untold story of a c19th sisterhood, thedaughters of Mary Wollstonecraft: Fanny Imlay and Mary Shelley, the famedwriter of Frankenstein, plus their step-sister Claire Clairmont, lover of LordByron. Are they the three graces? The fates? They’re women, as alive and breathingand rebellious and analytical as you and me, and well aware and critical of thehemmed-in nature they’re expected to accept as women of their time – a timeof “a new way of thinking, a new-world independence, a revolutionary world.” It features their connection to Percy Bysshe Shelley – “how could we not lovehim, with his lofty ethics and words that flew like birds?” –and many of theother contemporary poets and thinkers of the time. Pacy and assured, it turns its history to life from fragment to sensuousfragment. If the dead brought to life is to be Mary Shelley’s theme, this novellaasks what the real source of life spirit is, the vital spark. This book, full of detailand richesse, is a piece of vitality in itself.”

The Sea Spinner


Bursting with reawakened magic, a young woman challenges the tides of fate in this highly anticipated installment of Julie Johnson’s romantasy series . . . --Something changed for Rhya Fleetwood in the battle of Fyremas. Her untrained power feels both heavy with grief and volatile, crackling with each pulse of her simmering rage. Caeldera lies in ruins. Her friends are dead or wounded. And Pendefyre, their newly crowned king, is shutting her out. The Remnant of Fire needs all his focus for his kingdom, his people, and—perhaps more than anything—his insatiable need for revenge. When a twist of fate leads Rhya to the last place she expected—the Water Court—the novice wind weaver is forced to confront the limitations of her power as well as her increasingly complicated relationships. For enigmatic King Soren of Llyr is as different from Penn as sparks are from the sea. The more insight he offers into the maegic that binds them together, the more confused Rhya feels—about her future as a Remnant, about her deepest desires, and about her role in the coming war. Enemies circle close, ready to strike. And if Rhya isn’t careful, she’ll lose more than just her heart. She’ll lose her life. --Praise for the series:-"The Wind Weaver is a masterful fusion of epic fantasy and heart-pounding romance, equally relentless in its examination of dark themes as it is in bringing hope and magic to life.

In the Shadow of the Ripper


For centuries, it was believed that a corpse would ‘bleed anew’ in the presence of its murderer. Chaucer wrote about it; so did Shakespeare. Only slowly, as the Renaissance and the Age of Reason drove away the shadows of superstition, did forensic science find its feet. From the Ratlciffe Highway murders of 1811 to the first murder trial with fingerprint technology (the Stratton brothers in 1905), In the Shadow of the Ripper charts the grisly history of crime and focuses on the technological developments that brought real justice just a little closer. General practitioners, police surgeons, anatomists, chemists and many others argued with each other in spectacular cases like the Ripper murders in 1888, the poisonings of William Palmer, Florence Maybrick and the axe frenzy of Lizzie Borden. And if the expert witnesses disagreed, how were juries, ‘twelve men and true’, with no scientific knowledge supposed to come to a verdict at a murder tria? oday, we take forensic science with all its brilliance for granted. In the Shadow of the Ripper looks at how it all began. The Ripper case is a shining example of the fact that it does not matter how many forensic advances are made, a killer in the shadows can sometimes outwit the police and science for over 135 years … and counting.
