Távol Louisianától
Az amerikai indián Ischate és a kreol úrihölgy, Suzette sorsa a 18. századi Louisianában fonódik össze, ám társadalmi és kulturális értelemben is egy világ választja el őket egymástól: az indián fiú bölcs harcos, ám a kreolok szemében egyszerű "vadember˝. Ezzel szemben Suzette egy vagyonos New Orleans-i kereskedő lánya, aki gyermekkorától kezdve a társadalmi, erkölcsi és illemszabályok béklyójában él. A két fiatal gyermekkori találkozása mindkettőjük életét örökre megváltoztatja, és ebben a sodró lendületű műben végigkísérhetjük, amint az évtizedek során szembenéznek azon akadályokkal, amelyeket a társadalom és a történelem eléjük gördít. A spanyol szerző, Luz Gabás Planeta-díjjal (2022) jutalmazott regénye több, mint egy szerelmi történet, hiszen a fiatalok viszontagságain keresztül bemutatja az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Európa történelmének meghatározó időszakát - az amerikai függetlenségi háborútól a francia forradalomig -, s közben olyan fontos fogalmakról gondolkodtat el, mint a hűség, a haza és a szerelem.

Experts in a Dying Field
'Offbeat, ironic, humane and hilarious, Experts in a Dying Field is an earworm you’ll be humming along to for a long time to come.' PAUL MURRAY'A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.’ JOSEPH O'CONNOR‘Just pure joy and pure heartbreak and GENUINE LAUGHS all the way through. I cried a few times too.’ MARINA HYDE---The Heathens thought of themselves as 'the 1000th best band of all time'. Then their tour van crashed, and one of their members died. Twenty years later, weird things are happening in Dublin, bringing the surviving members of the band together in ways none of them could have anticipated and lifting the lid on mysteries from their shared past. Experts in a Dying Field is a gloriously sharp, witty and surprising novel about friendship, secrets, the strange workings of grief and guilt, and the joyful alchemy of music, from a writer with a unique ability to access humour and deep emotion. ---'Hums with life, told with the rigour and brilliance of one of Ireland’s finest minds.

Ruža v okovách
Stoja na opačných stranách vojny, no v rovnakých okovách
Svet Briony Rosewoodovej sa rozpadne v jedinom krátkom okamihu. Jej hrad podľahne útoku nepriateľských síl Bomardu a porazení Eversunci čelia krutému osudu – otroctvu, väzeniu alebo smrti. Brionin brat, prorokovaný dvojitý dedič, ktorý mal nastoliť mier, je mŕtvy a ona prichádza nielen o slobodu, ale aj o svoju mysľovú mágiu.
Spolu s ďalšími zajatými ženami ju ponúkajú v aukcii ako zdroj mágie pre mocných Bomardov. Ako sestra zosnulého dediča má najvyššiu cenu a vie to aj Toven Hearst. Muž v nástupníckej línii na trón, ku ktorému kedysi cítila zakázanú náklonnosť a ktorý si ju kúpi. Jeho rodina pomohla zničiť všetko, čo Briony milovala. Teraz sú politickými nepriateľmi, zviazaní zajatím, mocou a nebezpečnou minulosťou.
Vo svete ovládanom mágiou, ambíciami a krutosťou musí Briony nájsť spôsob, ako prežiť – a rozhodnúť sa, či nádej a pomoc môžu prísť aj z rúk toho, kto stojí na opačnej strane reťazí.
A všetci budeme mladí
Celé sa to začne nevinne. Štyria dobrovoľníci sa prihlásia do klinického výskumu na testovanie nového lieku na srdce, no zrazu výrazne omladnú. Gymnazista Jakob je čerstvo zaľúbený, ale na prejavy lásky reaguje ako malý chlapec. Učiteľka Jenny roky márne túžila po dieťati, a naraz je tehotná. Wenger, ťažko chorý realitný magnát, usporiadal veľkolepú rozlúčku so životom, no na veľké zdesenie svojich dedičov zrazu rozkvitne. Verena, trojnásobná olympijská víťazka v plávaní, športovú kariéru dávno zavesila na klinec, a odrazu len tak, bez tréningu prekoná svetový rekord. Čo sa to deje? Keď informácie o omladzovacom preparáte preniknú na verejnosť, nastane rozruch na všetkých frontoch.
Nesmierne jasnozrivý a duchaplný román zachytáva najšialenejší rok v živote protagonistov. S láskavým humorom nastoľuje veľké etické a spoločenské otázky, na ktoré bude musieť nájsť odpoveď ľudstvo aj každý jednotlivec – lebo vedecký výskum sa nedá zastaviť a je len otázka času, kedy sa biologické omladzovanie stane realitou. Budú napokon ľudia žiť večne? A ako nás to zasiahne?

Západ slnka nad čerešňovým sadom
Najvyšší čas, aby smoliarka Beti tancovala podľa svojho vlastného rytmu!
Mladá Walesanka Beti Winterová mala až donedávna v živote jediný cieľ – nájsť si toho pravého chlapa a vydať sa. Na rozdiel od sesternice Olivie jej však plány nevychádzajú, a preto sa cíti menejcenná a neužitočná. Po troch zasnúbeniach, ktoré sa neskončili svadbou, Beti zúfalo túži hodiť všetko za hlavu, odísť z domu a začať odznova. A kde inde by na to mala väčšiu šancu než na slnkom zaliatych vŕškoch južného Španielska?
Kým sa Beti podarí splniť si sen – získať do prenájmu bar na andalúzskom pobreží – musí si naň zarobiť na čerešňovej farme, kde ručne polieva stromy, zberá úrodu a bojuje s večne mrzutým majiteľom farmy Antoniom. Čoskoro pochopí, že tunajší život nie je len o sangrii a sieste. Na povrch vychádzajú staré rodinné krivdy a tajomstvá, ktorým treba čeliť. Mladá žena pod horúcim južanským slnkom zisťuje, že španielsky spôsob života je jej čoraz bližší. A keď sa začne učiť tancovať flamenco, uvedomí si, že tento tanec vášne jej toho dokáže dať oveľa viac. Len sa mu musí oddať celou dušou a načúvať rytmu svojho srdca.

Smutný tiger
Kniha Smutný tiger je založená na skutočných udalostiach. Neige Sinno mala sedem rokov, keď ju jej nevlastný otec začal sexuálne zneužívať. V devätnástich sa rozhodla prelomiť mlčanie, ktoré je v súvislosti so sexuálnym násilím prítomné vo všetkých kultúrach. To viedlo k verejnému súdu a uväzneniu jej nevlastného otca a autorka začala nový život v Mexiku.
Prostredníctvom fragmentárne vystavaného rozprávania Sinno skúma rôzne podoby pamäti – vlastnej, matkinej aj pamäti svojho násilného nevlastného otca – a tiež samotného zneužívania v celej jeho obludnosti aj banalite. Jej výpoveď je pretkaná úryvkami literárnych diel autorov ako Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot či Virginie Despentes.
Smutný tiger – názov je inšpirovaný básňou Williama Blaka Tiger – je literárnym skúmaním toho, ako hovoriť o nevysloviteľnom. V tejto výnimočnej knihe sa neustále opakuje jedna zásadná otázka: Ako ochrániť iných pred tým, čím si prešla samotná autorka? Uprostred temnoty zaznieva jasná odpoveď: Hovoriť a klásť otázky.
„Najsilnejšia, najhlbšia kniha o zničení niečieho detstva od dospelej autorky, akú som čítala.“ Annie Ernaux
Neige Sinno je francúzska spisovateľka. Po získaní doktorátu z americkej literatúry a absolvovaní ďalších štúdií v Spojených štátoch a Mexiku sa venovala písaniu a prekladaniu a pôsobila tiež ako externá učiteľka literatúry na univerzite. Za román Smutný tiger získala v roku 2023 Prix Femina a Prix Goncourt des Lyceéns, a to aj v slovenskej verzii tejto ceny, ktorú každoročne udeľujú študenti francúzskeho jazyka.

Život v utajení
Život v utajení je predovšetkým príbehom Monicy Sabolo – ženy vyrastajúcej v buržoáznom prostredí, v tieni otca s nejasnými aktivitami, ktorý jedného dňa zmizne bez vysvetlenia. Je to však aj príbeh členov krajne ľavicovej teroristickej skupiny Action directe, ktorých osudy sa stávajú predmetom osobného, takmer detektívneho pátrania, vedúceho rozprávačku späť k vlastnej minulosti.
Ako žiť s tým, že sme spáchali – alebo prežili – nenapraviteľné? Čo v skutočnosti vieme o tých, o ktorých si myslíme, že ich poznáme?
Od Talianska poznačeného terorom Červených brigád po Francúzsko osemdesiatych rokov, kde revolučné sny ustúpili peniazom a lesku, román Život v utajení citlivo skúma zložitosť ľudskej povahy, podoby násilia aj možnosť odpustenia.
