Imperial Regent Hideyoshi has caught wind of his exploits in Kyoto and summons him to an audience with a not-so-veiled threat: fail to appear, and the House of Maeda pays the price. Having brought the nation to heel, the ruthless warlord now seeks to bend the famously freewheeling kabukimono to his will—something Keiji’s samurai pride will never allow.

Cool Machine
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

Mystical Power and Politics on the Swahili Coast
Traces changing visions of mystical power and authority on the island of Pemba, whose people's reputed resistance to outside rule has shaped the national narratives of both Zanzibar and Tanzania. For two centuries, Pemba, the second largest island of Zanzibar, has been known by East Africans and outsiders alike as rich in dangerous knowledge. Despite Pembans' reputation for piety and deep Islamic knowledge,uchawi- 'mystical work and power', sometimes termed 'magic', 'witchcraft', or 'sorcery' - has long featured in diverse visions of their identity and as key to worldly power. Today, as traditional methods of securing agency are called into question and new ways proliferate, the mystical world is an intensely conflicted realm where the nature of power, ethical action, and reality itself is continually reframed. This luminous ethnography follows Pemban notions of invisible and worldly power through the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964, the trials of multiparty democracy, the rise of Islamic revival, and intensifying neoliberalism. Through an exploration of rural imaginings of power, it argues that nations and the grammars that underwrite them are made in and by their peripheries, which give 'the centre' shape. Highlighting the intersections of mystical practices, religion, and politics-as-such on the Swahili Coast, the book contributes new perspectives to studies of the imagination, power, and religious transformation in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the larger Islamic world.
Prince of Swords - Arcana Academy 2
I am terrified. Yet my heart skips a beat. This man might be a monster, but he is my monster.
Clara Graysword is Oricalis's most wanted. Hunted and cornered, not even her mastery of tarot can save her this time . . . until the mysterious Worldkeepers appear. This secretive order may hold the key to changing Clara's fate. If she dares to trust them.
But the most dangerous alliance of all is one she's already deeply ensnared within: Prince Kaelis.
Kaelis, second-born prince of Oricalis and headmaster of Arcana Academy, is the one man she can't escape - maybe she doesn't want to escape. Ruthless, dangerous, and bound to Clara by destiny and desire, Kaelis tests her heart as much as her loyalty. Together, they grow closer to the most powerful secrets of the tarot . . . and to the truths they both hide that could destroy the passion that they no longer deny.
Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger's edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin.
To change the world, Clara must risk everything - her power, her beliefs, and her heart.

Pandemie ve šťastné obci
Satirická próza o době, kdy se svět uzavřel — a jedno město se pomalu zbláznilo.
Fiktivní město Toulava se po příchodu pandemie mění v místo plné strachu, absurdních pravidel, sousedské podezíravosti i nečekaných příležitostí. Jednotlivé povídky propojuje postava Rolanda, podivínského mladíka a pozorného pozorovatele, který sleduje, jak se obyvatelé „šťastné obce“ vyrovnávají s lockdownem, panikou, konspiracemi, distanční výukou, online schůzemi i vlastními slabostmi.
Jakub Marek zachycuje pandemickou dobu s ironií, nadhledem a lehce hořkou příchutí. Pandemie ve šťastné obci je kniha o tom, co jsme všichni zažili, ale možná si to už raději pamatujeme jinak: chvíle komické, trapné, mrazivé i lidsky dojemné.
Kniha je určena čtenářům české satirické prózy, těm, kteří se chtějí na nedávnou dobu podívat s odstupem, a všem, kdo mají rádi humor s výrazným společenským přesahem.
Prdík nie je hanba - Príšerky
Knižka učí deti hravou a láskavou formou, že telo občas vytvára zvláštne zvuky a vône, ktoré sú však úplne prirodzené.
Na príklade veselých príšeriek demonštruje, že prdenie je prirodzenou súčasťou života, ale zároveň nepatrí do spoločnosti ani k slušnému správaniu, a že pri „náhodnej nehode“ je potrebné ospravedlniť sa.
Boží mlýn s turbem: Zabíjení
Z temných mračen, která se nad lidstvem léta stahovala, konečně uhodilo. Většina světové populace podlehla vražednému viru. V agonii se zmítající civilizaci dorazila mimořádně silná série elektro-magnetických pulzů. Většina elektroniky byla nenávratně zničena. Státní struktury, policejní složky, armády, to všechno se rozpadlo. Svět, jak jsme ho znali, přestal existovat.
Dvaadvacet let po těchto událostech se osamělý muž vrací zpět do života a zjišťuje, že už tak osamělý není. Náhle se ocitá mezi přáteli. Smrt sice porazil, ale bez nich by byl stejně ztracený, a to i přesto, že se s jeho tělem něco děje a obdivuhodně rychle se hojí. Ovšem ne vše je zalité sluncem. Za humny doutná válka, kterou bude setsakra těžké když už ne vyhrát, tak alespoň neprohrát.
Drsný vědeckofantastický román z ponuré éry soumraku lidstva, kdy nožů není nikdy dost a kdy nejlepším přítelem člověka už dávno není pes, ale spolehlivá, dobře naolejovaná bouchačka. A protože zbraně jsou nebezpečné hračky, občas ukápne i nějaká ta kapka krve. Tahle vize nedaleké budoucnosti se vám líbit nebude.
A jestli ano, jste divní.

UNSAYABLE HB
An intimate memoir portraying a life spent trying to describe the indescribable—from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist of The Hours and Day.Go ahead. Try using language to slit the skin of mortality to see what’s on the other side.At the age of three, Michael Cunningham began obsessively collecting the names of things: oak, Chevrolet, finch, tulip, Tupperware… Each word rendered the world ever so slightly more understandable, more describable, kicking off a lifelong love affair with language—one that would, eventually, maybe inevitably, lead him to become a writer.In Unsayable, Cunningham’s memories spill forth, and with them, reflections on the craft of writing. He is fifteen, in a swimming pool at night, gazing at the first boy he ever fell in love with, who is lost in contemplative silence. He is a new college graduate, setting off for nowhere in a Dodge Dart, hoping to pull meaning (and a novel) from the expanse of America. He is on Cape Cod, regaling an elderly couple with invented tales of sexual escapades. He is in an art gallery, unwittingly having the first in a lifetime of conversations with the man he would marry. A thread ties each beautifully-wrought moment to the next: what is unspoken, what won’t yield to language, what is embellished beyond recognition, what is still left to say.Luminous, perceptive and powerful, Unsayable is an ode to literature, a meditation on craft and an intimate account of a life spent trying to put into words that which resists depiction. This, it turns out, is the lifeblood of the fiction writer: the impossibility of capturing the human experience, and the relentless desire to try.
