Life and Death of Sophie Stark
'If The Girl on the Train was the woman of 2015, then Sophie Stark is this year's model. Anna North's new novel, The Life and Death of Sophie Stark, has been a hit in America, with Lena Dunham describing its protagonist as a "totally unforgettable female antihero". Out now - soon every girl on every train will be reading it' Sunday Times Who is the real Sophie Stark? The Life and Death of Sophie Stark is the story of an enigmatic film director, told by the six people who loved her most. Brilliant, infuriating, all-seeing and unknowable, Sophie Stark makes films said to be 'more like life than life itself'. But her genius comes at a terrible cost: to her husband, to the brother she left behind, and to an actress who knows too much. With shades of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, A Visit from the Goon Squad and Where'd You Go, Bernadette, it combines a uniquely appealing sensibility with a compulsively page-turning plot.
A Dog's Heart
When a stray dog dying on the streets of Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs.

Nowadays this hugely entertaining tale has become very popular in Russia, and has inspired many adaptations across the world.

Mirror Land
Na začiatku je reportáž hovoriaca o objavení vesmírnej lode na strednom Slovensku. Včelár z Dúbravice postavil úľ v tvare vesmírnej lode aby mohol zo sebou zobrať včely do Mirror Landu. Táto nepoškvrnená planéta je podobná tej našej a je situovaná za odverátenou stranou slnka. Napriek tomu že sa to zdá neuveriteľné, loď DBSP 01 (Dúbravica Beekeeper's Space Program) je skutočná je otvorená návštevníkom priamo uprostred dediny. Môžete dokonca vidieť muža oblečeného v skafandri. Možno je táto posledná óda eskapizmu ódou na oprávnený útek, alebo ódou práci včelárov tých, čo sú spätí s včelami, a ktorí aj napriek tomu, že im med kradnú, ich ochraňujú a starajú sa o ich rodiny. Porozumenie včelám a ich správaniu vyžaduje pokoj, stíšenie a otvorenú myseľ. Tento príbeh sa odohráva vo viacerých časových zónach, v prítomnosti a v budúcnosti, pretekajúc popri dejových líniách medzi realitou a fikciou. Odohráva sa na pozadí akéhosi nadčasového kozmického putovania. Zápletku možno vnímať ako vnútorný dialóg dvoch postáv žurnalistu a kozmonauta. Majú dve preplietajúce sa línie kombinujú literárny príbeh a umeleckú prácu do jedného celku. Scény odkazujúce na archaicky a vidiecky podmienené hodnoty včelárstva popretkávané moderným mýtom kozmického úteku. Namiesto optimisickej idey vesmírneho objavovania, v texte rezonuje strach o osud včiel, ktoré sú neviditeľne napojené na všetko čo zažívame, obzvlášť na našu každodennú existenciu. Avšak, pozornosť je uprená aj inde: príbeh nie je iba varovaním pred ekologickou katastrofou a stratou krehkej rovnováhy prírody. Pozýva nás do sveta, kde čas plynie odlišne. Hneď ako si kozmonaut zloží svoju helmu, počuje celé spektrum zvukov prírody a ponára sa do nich.

When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.
But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.
Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.
But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.
