Return to the Shack


In the long-awaited sequel to one of the world’s most beloved and widely read books of the last twenty years?The Shack?unrivaled storyteller Wm. Paul Young leads us back to the great questions of human existence: How does life go on in the face of irreconcilable loss? How can the irredeemable find redemption? Ten years after the devastating events of The Shack, Mackenzie Allen Phillips is still living in the shadow of loss. Though life has moved forward, grief continues to haunt his family, his relationships, his faith, and his very sense of self. Nan, his wife, carries her own hidden sorrow. They are two people bound together by love yet often divided by pain. On what would have been their daughter Missy’s sixteenth birthday, Mack and Nan confront the unthinkable when Mack is asked to visit death row to speak with the serial killer who abducted and murdered her. In the stark silence of the prison, Mack encounters not only the brokenness of another human being but also the raw weight of his own anger, doubt, and disappointment with God. Where is God when unbearable suffering endures? How can a shattered heart ever heal? In Return to the Shack, William Paul Young invites readers on a profound journey into the depths of grief, the complexity of trauma, and the surprising humanity of those we most fear. With honesty and compassion, he explores the devastating impact of mental illness, abuse, and violence, the strain of loss on relationships, and the staggering cost?and unexpected freedom?of forgiveness. This long-awaited sequel dares to ask the hardest questions: What does it mean to forgive the unforgivable? How do we live with God’s silence when our wounds cry out for answers? And can even the darkest prison and the most desolate wreckage of broken dreams become places where grace and redemption take root? Both tender and unflinching, Return to the Shack is a story of pain, faith, and the relentless possibility of hope.

Duch madam Crowlovej


Írsky prozaik, básnik a dramatik Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (1814 – 1873) sa narodil v Dubline do vzdelanej protestantskej rodiny. S písaním strašidelných poviedok začal príbehom Podivná udalosť v živote maliara Schalkena (1839), dôvtipne premyslenou a mrazivou prózou v žánri, ktorý bol v tom čase ešte len v plienkach. Po smrti manželky v roku 1858 sa z neho stal samotár a naplno sa oddal písaniu. K najpozoruhodnejším prácam, ktoré vzišli z jeho fascinácie nadprirodzenom, patria romány Dom pri cintoríne (1863), Strýko Silas (1864), zbierka poviedok V tmavom zrkadle (1872) a lesbicko-upírska novela Carmilla (1872). Hoci bol Le Fanu viac než dvadsať rokov populárnym autorom, jeho dielo postupne upadlo do zabudnutia, a až v roku 1923, s vydaním tejto zbierky s úvodom slávneho autora duchárskych próz M. R. Jamesa, získala jeho tvorba všeobecné uznanie. Bol súčasníkom Edgara Allana Poea, avšak ich štýly sa výrazne líšia, pretože Le Fanu do svojich dôvtipne a zručne koncipovaných príbehov tajomna a hrôzy vkladá prvky čierneho humoru, ktoré sú typickejšie pre moderných autorov tohto žánru.

Fly, Wild Swans


THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE LONG-AWAITED SEQUEL TO WILD SWANS, THE MULTI-MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SENSATION A Book of the Year in The Times; Daily Telegraph; Financial Times and Waterstones 'A must-read … magnificent’ DAILY TELEGRAPH ***** 'Beautiful and moving' ELIF SHAFAK, OBSERVER Jung Chang’s Wild Swans was a book that defined a generation, an epic personal history of Jung, her mother and grandmother – ‘three daughters of China’. The book opens in 1909 with her grandmother’s birth – and foot-binding – when China was under the last emperor, moving through Mao Zedong’s rule, especially the Cultural Revolution during which Jung’s parents were subjected to horrendous ordeals because of their courage. It finishes in 1978 when Deng Xiaoping officially ended the Mao era and started the ‘reforms’. Jung, at that propitious juncture, became one of the first Chinese to leave Communist China for the West. Nearly half a century on, China has risen from a decrepit and isolated state to a global power, the challenger to the United States’ dominant position in the world. Through those decades, Jung’s life has been intimately entwined with her native land. Her experiences dealing with the regime in those years were rich and revealing – especially so because all her books were (and are) banned. Fly, Wild Swans is the follow-up to Wild Swans and brings the story of Jung’s family – along with that of China – up to date. The book is in many ways Jung’s love letter to her mother. It is inevitably also about her grandmother and father, both of whom died tragically in the Cultural Revolution but are often recalled in this book. In fact, the past is never far away in Jung’s subsequent life. It has shaped her, and moulded the present China, and what’s more, it promises to herald the future. China is now at another watershed moment with the era of Chairman Xi Jinping greatly affecting the lives of Jung and her mother. Fly, Wild Swans is Jung’s heartfelt response to that experience, and a book filled with drama, love, curiosity and incredible history – both personal and global. Ultimately uplifting, told in Jung’s clear, honest and compelling voice, it is memoir writing at its best. 'Profoundly revealing as a portrait both of a family and of the deeper traumas that lie at the heart of modern China' RORY STEWART 'Another wonder book from Jung Chang…I am quite blown away by it' LADY ANTONIA FRASER
