Looking at Women, Looking at War
WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE WITH A FOREWORD FROM MARGARET ATWOOD 'This book would always have been important evidence that the Ukraine people were suffering criminal attack. Written by a poet, it is also a work of literature, published after the author lost her life doing her research. It is an icon of a young woman’s heroism' Philippa Gregory Destined to be a classic, a poet's powerful look at the courage of resistance. When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Victoria Amelina was busy writing a novel, taking part in the country's literary scene, and parenting her son. Then she became someone new: a war crimes researcher and the chronicler of extraordinary women like herself who joined the resistance. These heroines include Evgenia, a prominent lawyer turned soldier, Oleksandra, who documented tens of thousands of war crimes and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, and Yulia, a librarian who helped uncover the abduction and murder of a children's book author. Everyone in Ukraine knew that Amelina was documenting the war. She photographed the ruins of schools and cultural centers; she recorded the testimonies of survivors and eyewitnesses to atrocities. And she slowly turned back into a storyteller, writing what would become this book. On the evening of June 27th, 2023, Amelina and three international writers stopped for dinner in the embattled Donetsk region. Whena Russian cruise missile hit the restaurant, Amelina suffered grievous head injuries, and lost consciousness. She died on July 1st. She was thirty-seven. She left behind an incredible account of the ravages of war and the cost of resistance. Honest, intimate, and wry, this book will be celebrated as a classic.
The Koran and the Flesh
''A moving, courageous voice ... Muslims and others alike need to listen to him’ ObserverLudovic-Mohamed Zahed is an imam and Koranic scholar. He is also gay.In this memoir, he explains the journey he has taken to be both the founder of a mosque in Paris and to be openly gay, after a troubled childhood in Algeria in poverty and living with an aggressive and often violent father. Having found it impossible in that society to be both religious and true to himself, and being abandoned by a fellow school pupil with whom he was in love, he lost his faith.Trained as an imam, though, he became an accomplished Koranic scholar. He concluded that there was nothing in the Koran that condemned same-sex attraction or committed same-sex relationships. Finally, during a pilgrimage to Mecca, he understood that he could be fully himself and practise his religion with sincerity and commitment. The Koran and the Flesh tackles these subjects with originality and is a book of real bravery, that shows how it is possible to reconcile homosexuality and religion.
Sex with a Brain Injury
This powerful and deeply personal memoir in essays “reflects on history, philosophy, and love while living with head trauma” (The New York Times Book Review). “An infuriatingly gorgeous, important book.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties * “A riveting book about embodiment, pain, identity, and intimacy…this book is a stunning achievement.” —Melissa Febos, author of GirlhoodAfter suffering multiple concussions in her thirties, Annie Liontas shares what it means to be one of the “walking wounded” in Sex with a Brain Injury. Facing her fear, her rage, her physical suffering, and the effects of head trauma on her marriage and other relationships, Liontas is forced to reckon with her own queer mother’s battle with addiction and finds echoes in their pain. Liontas weaves history, philosophy, and personal accounts to interrogate and expand representations of mental health, ability, and disability—particularly in relation to women and the LGBT community. She uncovers the surprising legacy of brain injury, examining its role in culture, the criminal justice system, and through historical figures like Henry VIII and Harriet Tubman. Through Liontas’s sharp, affecting prose, we can imagine this kind of pain, and having to claw one’s way back to a new normal. The hidden gift of injury, Liontas writes, is the ability to connect with others. For the millions of people who have suffered from concussions and for those who have endeavored to support loved ones through the painful and often baffling experience of head trauma, this intimate memoir of a profound affliction and resilience…stands as testimony to love and patience” (Kirkus Reviews).
Zdrojový kód - Moje začátky
Příběh o počátcích jednoho z nejvlivnějších byznysových lídrů, inovátorů a filantropů moderní doby
První díl nejočekávanějších memoárů poslední dekády významem srovnatelný s přelomovou biografií Steve Jobs od Waltera Isaacsona
Text doprovází řada fotografií z autorova soukromého archivu
Byznysové triumfy Billa Gatese jsou všeobecně známé: v jednadvaceti letech zanechal studií na Harvardu, aby založil softwarovou společnost, která se ve svém odvětví stala gigantem a změnila způsob, jakým funguje svět i naše životy. Následně tento mnohonásobný miliardář zaměřil svou pozornost na filantropii, v rámci níž se soustředí především na boj proti změně klimatu, globální zdraví a vzdělávání ve Spojených státech.
Kniha Zdrojový kód nepojednává o zlaté éře Microsoftu, založení Nadace Gatesových ani o budoucnosti technologií. Vypráví lidský a osobní příběh o tom, jak se Bill Gates stal tím, kým dnes je: o jeho dětství, raných vášních a zálibách. Je to příběh o jeho zásadové babičce, ambiciózních rodičích, prvních hlubokých přátelstvích i náhlé smrti jeho nejlepšího kamaráda. O jeho marných snahách zapadnout, o tom, jak na počátku nové éry objevil svět kódování a počítačů, i o tom, jak se jako náctiletý vydal na cestu, jež ho od jeho půlnočních eskapád v nedalekém počítačovém centru zavedla až do pokoje na vysokoškolské koleji, kde odstartoval revoluci, která změnila svět.
Tento příběh poprvé vypráví sám Bill Gates a výsledkem je moudrý, hřejivý, odhalující a především fascinující portrét amerického života.

With Every Great Breath
For acclaimed writer and environmental activist Rick Bass, it can be wearying to dwell relentlessly upon the broken, the fragmented, the dead and dying and doomed to extinction. Activism is a necessary part of the environmental movement, but so is the time-honoured celebration of the beauty that inspires us. Spanning his storied career, these new and selected essays attempt to take a brief step to the side, away from lamentation and prescription, to inhabit, as deeply as possible, the greater depths of the beauty in each moment. With Every Great Breath ranges from the extremely local - a long-form essay about the community affected by the largest Superfund site in U.S. history, in Libby, Montana - to the far-flung: the Galapagos, Namibia, and Alaska. Throughout, Bass offers a portrait of our planet that is always alert to its wonders, even in the face of environmental crisis.
Elon Musk (Paperback)
Epic feats. Epic failures. An epic story.
Walter Isaacson charts Elon Musk’s journey from humble beginnings to one of the wealthiest people on the planet – but is Musk a genius or a jerk?
From the author of Steve Jobs and other bestselling biographies, this is the astonishingly intimate story of Elon Musk, the most fascinating and controversial innovator of our era – a rule-breaking visionary who helped to lead the world into the era of electric vehicles, private space exploration and artificial intelligence. Oh, and took over Twitter.
When Elon Musk was a kid in South Africa, he was regularly beaten by bullies. One day a group pushed him down some concrete steps and kicked him until his face was a swollen ball of flesh. He was in the hospital for a week. But the physical scars were minor compared to the emotional ones inflicted by his father, an engineer, rogue and charismatic fantasist.
His father’s impact on his psyche would linger. He developed into a tough yet vulnerable man-child with an exceedingly high tolerance for risk, a craving for drama, an epic sense of mission, and a maniacal intensity that was callous and at times destructive.
At the beginning of 2022 – after a year marked by SpaceX launching thirty-one rockets into orbit, Tesla selling a million cars, and him becoming the richest man on earth – Musk spoke ruefully about his compulsion to stir up dramas. ‘I need to shift my mindset away from being in crisis mode, which it has been for about fourteen years now, or arguably most of my life,’ he said.
It was a wistful comment, not a New Year’s resolution. Even as he said it, he was secretly buying up shares of Twitter, the world’s ultimate playground. Over the years, whenever he was in a dark place, his mind went back to being bullied on the playground. Now he had the chance to own the playground.
For two years, Walter Isaacson had unprecedented access. He shadowed Musk, attended his meetings, walked his factories with him and spent hours interviewing him, his family, friends, coworkers and adversaries. The result is the revealing inside story, filled with amazing tales of triumphs and turmoil, that addresses the question: are the demons that drive Musk also what it takes to drive innovation and progress?
The book includes over 100 integrated black and white images.

Leigh Bowery - The Life and Times of an Icon
A new edition of Sue Tilley's classic biography of the man described by Boy George as 'modern art on legs', updated to include never-before-seen photographs and a new chapter reflecting on Bowery's legacy.
From his arrival in London in 1980, clutching a suitcase and sewing machine, to his death from AIDS in 1994, artist, performer, musician, club promoter and fashion designer Leigh Bowery led an extraordinary life.
Chronicled here with candid wit and affection, Leigh's closest confidante Sue Tilley describes her best friend's journey as a creative young gay kid growing up in the Melbourne suburbs who burst onto the vibrant London club scene of the 1980s and changed it forever. Brilliantly evoking the hedonistic energy of the city, Tilley's personal account of her life with Leigh - their best mates, holidays, clubbing, drugs, outfits, flatmates and sex lives - paints a vivid picture of 80s pop culture through their friendship and love of a good time. She also offers irreverent anecdotes of the London art world, and particularly of Leigh's close relationship with Lucian Freud, who painted Leigh many times from 1990 onwards; and concludes with a poignant and unsentimental recollection of Leigh's final days in hospital.
Written with the full co-operation of his family and friends, including Charles Atlas, Rachel Auburn, Michael Clark, Lucian Freud, Jeffrey Hinton, Damien Hirst, Princess Julia, Cerith Wyn Evans and Baillie Walsh.
František. Život.
V tejto úplne prvej autobiografii bilancuje pápež František svoj život v kontexte historických míľnikov. Knihu písal v spolupráci so skúseným talianskym vatikanistom Fabiom Marchesom Ragonom. Novinár je známy tým, že viedol exkluzívny televízny rozhovor s pápežom Františkom, ktorý sledovalo päť a pol milióna divákov na celom svete. Autor si vybral 14 dejinných udalostí od začiatku druhej svetovej vojny až po dnešok a v ich kontexte hovorí pápež František o svojom živote. V knihe tak zisťujeme, ako vnímal Jorge Bergoglio koniec druhej svetovej vojny alebo vstup prvého človeka na Mesiac; kde bol, keď padol Berlínsky múr alebo čo pociťoval v okamihoch pápežskej voľby. Venuje sa aj aktuálnym témam, akou je kovidová pandémia alebo vojna na Ukrajine. V neposlednom rade sa čitateľ vďaka pútavej publikácii dozvie viac o pápežovej rodine, priateľoch, postojoch, no predovšetkým o jeho nesmiernej ľudskosti.
„Ak sa nenaučíme plakať, čím dosvedčujeme svoju ľudskosť, nemôžeme byť dobrými kresťanmi.“
Pápež František

Zdrojový kód / Moje začiatky
Autentický príbeh filantropa a jedného z najvplyvnejších lídrov modernej doby v oblasti biznisu a inovácií.
Prvý diel najočakávanejších memoárov poslednej dekády, ktorý je významom porovnateľný s prelomovou biografiou Steve Jobs od Waltera Isaacsona
Text obsahuje množstvo fotografií z autorovho súkromného archívu
Obchodný triumf Billa Gatesa je všeobecne známy: dvadsaťročný mladík odišiel z Harvardu a založil softvérovú spoločnosť, ktorá sa stala gigantom v odvetví a zmenila fungovanie a život celého sveta. Zároveň je multimiliardárom, ktorý sa zameral na filantropiu a vývoj riešení v oblasti klimatickej krízy, globálneho zdravia a vzdelávania v USA.
Kniha Zdrojový kód však nehovorí o zlatej ére Microsoftu ani o vzniku Gatesovej nadácie alebo o budúcnosti technológií. Je to ľudský a veľmi osobný príbeh o tom, ako sa Bill Gates stal tým, kým je dnes. Sprevádza nás detstvom a odkrýva jeho rané vášne a záujmy. Je to aj príbeh o zásadovej starej mame a ambicióznych rodičoch, o prvých hlbokých priateľstvách a náhlej smrti najlepšieho priateľa. Sleduje snahu mladého chlapca zapadnúť, ale aj prvé dotyky so svetom programovania a počítačov na úsvite novej éry. Opisuje, ako sa už v tínedžerskom veku vydal na cestu, ktorá ho od nočných výletov do neďalekého počítačového centra zaviedla až do internátnej izby na univerzite, kde zapálil iskru revolúcie, ktorá zmenila svet.
Bill Gates sa delí o svoj príbeh po prvýkrát. Ide o múdre a láskavé rozprávanie, ktoré odhaľuje fascinujúci portrét života jedného Američana.
Bill Gates je technológ, popredný podnikateľ a filantrop. V roku 1975 so svojím priateľom z detstva Paulom Allenom založil spoločnosť Microsoft a dnes je predsedom nadácie Gates Foundation. Zároveň založil organizáciu Breakthrough Energy zameranú na obchodné využitie čistej energie a iných technológií súvisiacich s ochranou klímy, a spoločnosť TerraPower, ktorá sa venuje vývoju priekopníckych jadrových technológií. Bill Gates má tri deti.
Úryvok z knihy Zdrojový kód:
Odvtedy som prechádzal školou vďaka učiteľom, ktorí rozpoznali potenciál skrytý pod maskou nezáujmu. Zdalo sa, že učitelia v Lakeside vnímali iba tú masku. Po prvom roku na novej škole moji rodičia určite pochybovali, či urobili správne rozhodnutie. Ja teda rozhodne áno.
No ak by som si prezrel posledné jarné číslo školského časopisu, všimol by som si článok s dvomi odsekmi naspodku druhej strany. Písalo sa v ňom, že na jeseň sa matematické oddelenie pripojí k počítaču. „Dúfame, že sa nájde niekoľko študentov, ktorí to využijú pri práci na rozsiahlych projektoch,“ zamýšľal sa autor článku.

Rough Patch
'Warm, humorous, nature-packed restoration ... a story you can neither put down nor stop thinking about' Delicious 'Book of the Month''Full of hope and joy' - Garden News'A healing year of sowing and reaping ... [Kathy's] tale of personal transformation is inspiring' Saga MagazineWhen Kathy was forced to quit her high-flying career in London, she was a wreck - burnt out, anxious, consumed by depression. But she found solace in an unlikely place - the veg patch. She put her hands in the soil and found a way to grow, to sow some small seeds of hope. In Rough Patch, Kathy draws us into the world of the kitchen garden to reflect on the lessons she learnt from the soil, along with sharing recipes inspired by the land. Weaving together her own story of recovery with the year she spent growing and cooking her harvests, Kathy realises that the two are tightly bound together and that reconnecting with the earth could restore her hope and renew her life. Along the way there are tales of marauding pigs, transformative insights from planting leeks, recipes for an unchecked courgette glut and the discovery of why a radish seed is worth staying alive for. The result is a candid, hopeful and sometimes funny story about the healing powers of nature; a quiet manifesto for a more connected life.
Metamorphoses
Franz Kafka was one of the most influential, and enigmatic, writers of the twentieth century. His books, with their mysterious courts and monstrous insects, have had an influential reach across literature, music, art and film. But who, exactly, was Franz Kafka?
Karolina Watroba tells Kafka's story beyond the boundaries of language, time and space, travelling from the Prague of Kafka's birth through the work of contemporary writers in East Asia, whose award-winning novels are in part homages to the great man himself.
Metamorphoses is a non-chronological journey through Kafka's life, drawing together literary scholarship with the responses of his readers through time. It is a both an exploration of Kafka's life and an exciting new way of approaching literary history.
I Want to Talk to You
'A pleasure and an invigoration' Guardian'A moving, witty and seductive anthology' Financial Times'Every piece feels beautifully sewn together and complete’ BERNARDINE EVARISTOCrafted over twenty-five years, I Want to Talk to You invites you into a conversation about literature, art and music, identity, grief and everything in betweenAs a young journalist, Diana Evans was catapulted overnight into the role of culture editor, going on to interview a roster of stars including Lauryn Hill, Viola Davis, Alice Walker and Edward Enninful. In these portraits of contemporary icons, the author remains the observer. Alongside them, in pieces collected here for the first time, we also see her turning the lens on herself. We watch as she dances on stages in London and travels through Cuba. We sit beside her desk as she develops her voice as a writer, shaped by her love for Jean Rhys, James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. We walk by her side as she navigates the world – her family and the midlife sandwich, reflections on fashion, yoga, the British monarchy and lockdowns, and the lasting impact of George Floyd and Grenfell.

Main Character
A SHEERLUXE READING LIST PICK FOR 2025 'Fans of Bridget Jones will love Lizzie Frainier's tales from the dating front line' Sunday Times Style'Lizzie Frainier is admirably frank and deeply likeable. She takes you along for the ride of her love life like a British Carrie Bradshaw' Catherine Gray, Sunday Times bestselling authorFrom Bridget Jones to Notting Hill - do romcoms prepare us for the good, the bad and the disconcerting of dating? Many of us who grew up on a strict diet of romcoms know all about the perfect meet cute that turns into a head-over-heels relationship. So when Lizzie was offered the chance to take part in a The Holiday-style festive house swap for an article, she knew she had to say yes and just do it for the plot - oh, and the trip to New York. In romcoms you always meet your match, your one true love, your soulmate, but in reality things don't always end with a happily ever after. Or at least not the one you expected. From falling for the emotionally unavailable 'cool boy' at school to receiving hideous dating app messages, and succumbing to the magnetic pull of a situationship to riding the incomparable high of an instant connection, Lizzie shares her experiences of the intensity of falling in love, the heartbreak of falling out of it and the friendships that have seen her through it all. Charting a decade of electric first dates, meaningful encounters and lessons learned along the way, Main Character is an open-hearted celebration of romcoms and to the many ways in which love can show up in our lives.
Jack and Eve
Vera Holme, known as Jack, left a career as a jobbing actress to become Emmeline Pankhurst''s chauffeur and mechanic. Evelina Haverfield was a classic beauty, the daughter of a baron and fourteen years older than Jack. They met in 1908, fell in love, lived together, and became public faces of the suffragette movement, enduring prison and doing everything they could for the cause.The First World War paused the suffragettes'' campaign and Jack and Eve enrolled in the Scottish Women''s Hospital Service and soon found themselves in Serbia. Eve set up and ran hospitals for allied soldiers in appalling conditions, while Jack became an ambulance driver, travelling along dirt tracks under bombardment to collect the wounded from the front lines.Together, they carved radical new paths, demonstrating that women could do anything men could do, whether driving ambulances, running military hospitals, becoming prisoners of war or bearing arms. They refused to compromise in their sexuality - they were lifelong partners even though Jack enjoyed relationships with other women. Determined to be themselves, ''forthright, flamboyant and proud'', Wendy Moore uses their story as a lens through which to view the suffragette movement, the work of women in WWI and the development of lesbian identity throughout the twentieth century.
