'Louise Wallace writes the excruciating and transformative with such precision it’s almost impossible to believe. This is a razor-sharp novel: claustrophobic and expansive at once, full of terror and dark humor.' Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet'Bruising, beautiful and uncompromising in the way that it explores anger, anxiety, motherhood and womanhood.' Daisy Buchanan, author of Careering'As poetic as it is experimental . . . this is a novel you'll consume in one sitting.'

But something is shifting in Thea – something is burning. Or is it that she is becoming aware, for the first time, of the bright, hot core at her centr? n urgent rallying cry to women everywhere, ASH is a story about reckoning with one's rage and finding marvels in the midst of chaos.

PORTAL
Tracy Fuad’s second collection of poems, PORTAL, probes the fraught experience of bringing a new life into a world that is both lush and filled with gloom. A baby is born in a brutalist building; the planet shrinks under the new logic of contagion; roses washed up from a shipwreck centuries ago are blooming up and down the cape. PORTAL documents a life that is mediated, even at its most intimate moments, by flattening interfaces of technology and in which language—and even intelligence—is no longer produced only by humans. The voices here are stalked by eco-grief and loneliness, but they also brim with song and ecstasy, reveling in the strangeness of contemporary life while grieving losses that cannot be restored. Through Fuad’s frank, honest poetry, PORTAL vibrates with pleasure and dread.
The Franchise
A land filled with magic and dragons and wizards and warriors. Thousands of people live and work within its borders, fearful of their enemies and loyal to their king. The classic fantasy world of The Malicarn has been brought to life on the big screen in a series of phenomenally successful blockbuster movies, almost entirely populated by characters in total belief that their sham fantasy lives are real. A fan-favorite actor finds himself doubting the studio's work, but this franchise has an almost unstoppable momentum, and bringing freedom to a population that already believes itself to be free won’t be as easy as he thinks.
A rangidős bölcsessége
William McRaven négycsillagos tengernagy, az Egyesült Államok Haditengerészetének nyugállományú tagja közel négy évtizedes katonai pályát tudhat maga mögött. Utolsó aktív éveiben ő volt a Bullfrog, vagyis az Ökörbéka, azaz a leghosszabb ideje aktív szolgálatban lévő, rangidős SEAL.
A vezetés szinte minden elképzelhető kihívásával szembesült: harci műveleteket irányított – többek között Szaddám Huszein elfogását, Phillips kapitány kiszabadítását, valamint az Oszáma bin Láden elleni rajtaütést. Ebben az inspiráló kötetben rendkívüli életútja és más elismert vezetők tapasztalatai alapján válsághelyzetekről, vezetői és etikai dilemmákról, valamint átfogó szervezeti átalakításokról szóló történeteken keresztül megismerhetjük a csúcsteljesítményre képes vezető jellemzőit.
Rabín sa rozpráva s Ježišom
Autor knihy sa v duchu stáva v Galilei poslucháčom Ježišovej Reči na vrchu. Ako pravoverný rabín sa usiluje pozorne počúvať tohto nového učiteľa a porovnáva jeho učenie s tým, čo hovorí židovská Tóra. Chce vedieť, ako by reagoval, keby vtedy stál na úpätí vrchu, na ktorom zazneli Blahoslavenstvá. Ježiš ho fascinuje. Vstupuje s ním do dialógu, pýta sa ho na témy z jeho učenia, ktorým nerozumie.
Pozýva aj čitateľov, židov i kresťanov, aby s takouto zvedavosťou vnímali Ježišovo učenie. Aby si všímali, čo sa im páči a čo ich dráždi. Hovorí: „Píšem túto knihu s cieľom objasniť, prečo kresťania veria v Ježiša Krista a v radostnú zvesť o tom, že je vládcom v nebeskom kráľovstve, kým židia veria v Mojžišov Zákon a už tu na zemi a vo vlastnom tele tvoria Božie kráľovstvo kňazov a svätý Boží ľud… Mojím cieľom je pomôcť kresťanom stať sa lepšími kresťanmi, pretože môžu na týchto stránkach nájsť jasnejšie vysvetlenie toho, čo svojou vierou vyznávajú.“
Rabín Jacob Neusner (1932 – 2016) akademicky pôsobil na viacerých amerických univerzitách. Pápež Benedikt XVI. jeho knihu Rabín sa rozpráva s Ježišom označil za najdôležitejšiu knihu židovsko-kresťanského dialógu na konci 20. storočia a často ju citoval vo svojom diele Ježiš Nazaretský (Dobrá kniha, Trnava 2022).
Budem stáť pred Pánom
Náš život nie je cesta nikam. Náš život má cieľ. K tejto pravde nás má viesť i niekoľko úvah knižky, ktorej cieľom je upriamiť nás na život vo večnosti. Preto prosme:
Dobrý Bože, raz budem stáť pred tebou. Daj, aby sa mi myšlienka na to stávala svetlom, ktoré mi svieti; pravdou, ktorá ma oslobodzuje; múdrosťou, ktorou budem žiť; radosťou, ktorú mi nik nebude môcť vziať; láskou, ktorá nezaniká; cieľom, ktorý dosiahnem; pokojom, ktorý vo mne zavládne; silou, ktorá ma očistí; milosťou, ktorá ma navždy zjednotí s tebou a zachráni pre večný život lásky.
Trauma Industrial Complex
*The new book from the Orwell Prize-Winning author of Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us*Today, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books – my own included. While the increasing openness is welcome, I’ve observed that this rise has been accompanied by a parallel explosion of disinformation and sometimes harmful guidance about how to deal with personal trauma.In Trauma Industrial Complex, I ask the question: How did we get here? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped? In this revealing and deeply personal book, I’ll pull back the curtain, sharing the hard-won wisdom I’ve gained from the events brought on by telling my own story.Praise for Darren McGarvey:‘An Orwell for today's poor’ – The Times‘The standout, authentic voice of a generation’ – Herald‘McGarvey is a rarity: a working-class writer who has fought to make the middle-class world hear what he has to say’ – Nick Cohen, Guardian
Frankenstein
Frankenstein neboli moderní Prométheus (Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus), obecně známý jen jako Frankenstein, je hororový román Mary Shelley, poprvé vydaný v roce 1818. Vypráví příběh mladého vědce Viktora Frankensteina, který stvoří umělého člověka, monstrum ohyzdné podoby s nadlidskou silou. Román byl mnohokrát zfilmován a patří mezi klasická díla hororového žánru. V současné popkultuře se slovem „Frankenstein“ zjednodušeně označuje samo monstrum, případně nevzhledný člověk či nestvůra. Román v sobě propojuje prvky gotického románu a romantického románu (např. utrpení, plynoucí z osamělosti hlavních hrdinů i netvora). Román si klade otázku, jak moc je „stvořitel“ zodpovědný za „stvořené“, a do jisté míry je i varováním před důsledky vědeckých experimentů a sobeckým zaměřením moderního člověka v době průmyslové revoluce, jež je v románu stavěno do kontrastu vůči altruistickým a ušlechtilým činům často obyčejných lidí. Příběh ovlivnil literaturu i popkulturu napříč žánry a inicioval vznik mnoha hororových příběhů a filmů.

Man
The photos Judith Stanley takes are just for her, a private passion to fill her suburban days. But when she shares them with Paul Sorenson, her new photography instructor, she''s unprepared to hear his astonished praise. ''Stunning,'' he calls her photos. ''Extraordinary.'' She has an uncanny eye, he says, and should consider publication. He could help. Except Judith has no interest in sharing her work; in fact, the mere idea of it frightens her. Still, emboldened by Paul''s encouragement, Judith ventures out beyond her quiet neighbourhood to the city in search of increasingly striking images. When she starts to notice the dark shape of a man in the corner of her self-portraits, Judith is certain he''s an attacker from her past. She doesn''t know why he has returned, but she''s sure of his presence: the hoarse sound of his breathing, his hard grip on her elbow. Perhaps it would appease the man if she were to put her camera down and give up her private passion. But she can''t; she refuses. Until one night when the man finally emerges from the shadows, and Judith''s story suddenly and irrevocably becomes his own. Chilling and heart-poundingly propulsive, The Man is a phenomenal and timely novel exploring the inescapable fear of living as a woman, the tantalizing seduction of artistic freedom and the very real dangers that lurk both inside and outside the confines of the mind.
Volvelle
An impassioned new collection from the Forward Prize-winning poetVolvelle, Rachael Boast’s fifth poetry collection, highlights the need to remember old forms of connection in an era of fragmentation and technological acceleration. Her title embodies something of this in its elegant, recurring consonants – conjuring love, revolve, evolve, the volvelle a circular paper chart of rotating parts for calculating the cycles of the sun and the moon.There are poems here in conversation with Akhmatova, Cocteau, Lorca, Mirabai, Tennyson and Sufi poetry, while others move in the atmospheres of French, Polish and Spanish arthouse cinema. Boast’s coolly passionate collection also explores the need for a sense of place and belonging, and enquires into the overlap between disability and ‘the body politic’ with a fusing of poetry and reportage on global conflicts and ecocide.With a keen sense of roots and interrelatedness, Volvelle circles the question of what it means to stay human in our age of anxiety, unrest and hyper-materialism.
