To All the Men I’ve Killed Before
The brand-new novel from the bestselling author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With it.
Doba pitomců
Směřujeme definitivně k vládě pitomců nad světem? Novinář Alexandr Mitrofanov patří k břitkým a zároveň nejvtipnějším komentátorům českého politického hemžení. A poněvadž jsou jeho kořeny v Rusku, pravidelně a se značnou skepsí se vyjadřuje i k brutální ruské realitě. Jako zkušený pozorovatel nešetří ironií a sarkasmem a jakýmsi shrnutím jeho zkoumání je svižný esej s příznačným názvem Doba pitomců: Kniha jenom pro chytré. Jde o Mitrofanovův manifest skepticismu a zdravého realismu, v němž na základě svých zkušeností z Východu i Západu, z Ruska (Sovětského svazu), Evropy i Ameriky, konstatuje existenci „davového člověka“ a odmítá „osvícenskou iluzi“, že ho lze od „pitomosti“ osvobodit vzděláváním.
S humorem sobě vlastním varuje Mitrofanov před falešným optimismem, byť nenabízí žádný jednoduchý recept, jak uchovat svobodu a liberální demokracii. Ve své knize nám i sám sobě klade bez zbytečného sentimentu zásadní otázku současnosti: Kdo je vlastně pitomec? A při ohledávání klíčových problémů si nebere servítky a reaguje pesimisticky: Je to marné, je to marné, je to marné. Pokud máte pocit, že se brzy zblázníte ze slov a činů figur jako Putin, Zeman, Klaus, Babiš nebo Trump, pak je tato kniha určena přímo vám. Je to pozvání ke kritickému myšlení a nadhledu, a to z pera zkušeného skeptika, který svými brilantními formulacemi rozhýbe vaši bránici hurónským smíchem. Dostane se vám i jisté dávky hořkosti, která však může časem u vás vyvolat životní moudrost.
Ale nezůstane jen u toho. Na otázku „Co dělat?“ přece jen Mitrofanov nabízí odpověď, jak si ji ujasnil v kruhu svých nejbližších přátel: „Vždy jsme na straně lidí proti mlokům, ať už jde o srážky těchto neslučitelných bytostí v Česku, na Ukrajině, kam vpadly z Ruska, nebo dejme tomu v USA. Uvědomujeme si, v jaké společnosti žijeme, a víme, že líp rozhodně nebude, ale každá a každý z nás dělá, co umí a na co stačí, aby měla či měl pocit, že nenechal pitomce bujet bez jakéhokoliv odporu.“
Černobílý svět, 6. vydání
Hluboký a dojemný příběh zasazený do 60. let 20. století na americký Jih vyprávěný očima tří výjimečných žen. V době panující rasové segregace dělí svět černých a bílých hluboká propast. Mladá a ambiciózní běloška Skeeter se nechce spokojit s tradiční ženskou rolí, kterou jí předurčuje společnost, a na rozdíl od svých přítelkyň hodlá pracovat a dosáhnout něčeho velkého. S pomocí moudré Aibileen a rázné Minny se rozhodne ukázat svět očima černých hospodyň a napsat šokující knihu, která obrátí město vzhůru nohama. Za otázkami rasismu i postavením žen ve společnosti tkví hlubší poselství o hranicích – těch skutečných i těch, které existují v našich myslích.

A csokoládé titka
„Anyám intelmét visszagyömöszölöm a tarot-kártya dobozába. Maradjon csak ott, mondom magamnak. Az a hang csak egy részem, ami fél a boldogságtól. De ez a te félelmed volt, maman, nem az enyém. Ezek a kétségek csak annak a kislánynak a töredékei, aki egykor voltam. Most újrateremtem magam, megírom a saját történetemet, megváltoztatom a nevemet, hogy kövesse az irányt, amelyet magam választottam. Az öregasszony Vianne Rocher-nak nevezett. Nem Rochasnak, hanem Rocher-nak, mint a csokoládét. Ezt valamiért jelentőségteljesnek érzem. Mintha az a Baise melletti falu és az Allée du Pieu-n lévő chocolaterie mind a jövőm részei volnának. És mielőtt bárhol letelepednék, meg kell tanulnom, hogyan legyek Vianne. Hogy a saját életemet éljem ahelyett, amelyet anyám választott számomra.”
A Csokoládé előzménye, amely hat évvel azelőtt kezdődik, hogy Vianne megnyitja botrányt kavaró csokoládéboltját a kis francia faluban.
New Yorkban, egy meleg júliusi estén, Vianne Rochas szétszórja édesanyja hamvait, majd a szeszélyes szelet követve a francia tengerpartra, Marseille felé veszi az útját. Amikor megérkezik Franciaországba, élete során először a saját kezébe veszi a jövőjét. Bájos megjelenésének köszönhetően pincérnői állást kap egy bisztróban, de tudja, hogy nem maradhat sokáig. Gyermeket vár ugyanis, és attól tart, a szülés után újra mennie kell.
Ám addig egy különc szakács, Guy Lacarriere irányításával felfedezi a főzés örömét, és a francia ételeket ízlése szerint keserédes csokoládéval és fűszerekkel megbolondítva rájön, hogy ezzel a csipetnyi varázslattal megismerheti a kis falu titkait – és végre igazi otthonra találhat.
De neki magának is van egy titka, és ez a titok veszélybe sodorhatja mindazt, amiért eddig oly keményen küzdött…
Auschwitzi fénykép
Berlin, 1938. Max von Hofmannsthal és a zsidó Samuel Weiss a legjobb barátok voltak, amíg a náci Németország kíméletlen antiszemitizmusa szét nem szakította barátságukat. Max egyre magasabbra emelkedik az SS ranglétráján, míg Sam és családja a puszta túlélésért küzd.
Auschwitz, 1944. Amikor Max és Sam útjai ismét keresztezik egymást a haláltáborban, sorsuk oly módon fonódik össze, amire egyikük sem számított.
Pittsburgh, 2006. Becky apja, Sam, megtört és visszahúzódó ember, aki soha nem szeretett beszélni arról, miként élte túl Auschwitz földi poklát. De amikor Becky rábukkan anyja régi jegyzetfüzetére, rájön, hogy apja történetében sokkal több rejlik, mint gondolta. És amikor hirtelen előkerül egy 1944-es fénykép Auschwitzból, egy pillanat alatt romba dől minden, amit Becky valaha is igaznak hitt.
Az Auschwitzi fénykép a barátság, a remény, a túlélés és az árulás lebilincselő története.

Amidst the wait for someone else, Si-ying makes her most significant journey: the one to discovering herself.** Translated from the Mandarin Chinese by Shanna Tan **

Agrippa
From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Conclave and Dictator, a gripping tale of ancient Rome’s descent into dictatorshipHe was born feet first, a dangerous way to enter the world. His mother did not survive, and the nickname, Agrippa—mother killer—stuck. But the schoolyard taunting only served to harden his resolve and hone his predilection for aggression. In time, the name lost its sting and became instead a mark of his invincibility. It came to shape his destiny.Agrippa was a mere commoner, a plebeian, his father a humble Stoic, but he earned the respect and fear of his peers. He defended a bullied young boy, Octavius, who turned out to be the nephew of Caesar himself, a chance encounter that would change the trajectory of his life. He eventually joined the ranks of the legionnaires and marched against their enemies. His prowess on the battlefield spoke for itself, and Caesar relied on him to protect his favored nephew. When Caesar was murdered in the Senate, Octavius inherited the empire in name only. To assume the mantle he would have to fight for it, and Agrippa, forever by his side, would be his closest advisor and the merciless agent of his military will.As gripping and full of intrigue as his bestselling novel Conclave, Agrippa is Robert Harris’s monumental return to the world of ancient Rome on the precipice of dictatorship, a novel for our times.
