The Hobbit
Landmark new 90th anniversary edition featuring a wealth of charming illustrations from Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, published in English for the first time.
Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug’s left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!
This landmark new edition of The Hobbit presents J.R.R. Tolkien's full text with illustrations by Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomins, from a rare Swedish-language edition never before published in English. Jansson’s tender, whimsical drawings illuminate Bilbo’s journey – from the comfort of Bag End to the riddled dark under the mountain – adding fresh enchantment and quiet humour to every page.

The Nineteenth-Century Asylum Periodical
Unearthing primary sources from a large transatlantic archive, this first book-length study of asylum periodicals in the nineteenth century traces the origins and early spread of periodical publishing in mental institutions in Britain, the United States, and the rest of the world. It connects the rise of asylum periodicals with developments in publishing, literary culture, and the treatment of madness, illuminating the social and print networks that supported their spread. Examining the complicated relationships involved in asylum publishing, Mila Daskalova highlights the role of print in self-expression, community building and identity formation. It shows that patients employed these publications to navigate their institutional reality and to interact with each other and the world. Rather than powerless recipients of care or abuse, periodical contributors participated actively in their treatment and cultural and social life within and beyond the institutions. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

And he’s done waiting for permission.
Rosabelle Wolff needs to stick to the plan. Which means she needs to stay away from James and the dangerous feelings he brings out in her.

All roads lead to heartbreak and destruction, no matter what choice he makes.
Gut-wrenching discoveries, blistering romance, non-stop explosive action, and a world determined to control their thoughts and actions:
When the eyes of the world are upon you, who do you hope is watching?

The Steps
A gritty, inspiring, heart-wrenching memoir by the Academy Award-winning legend and icon Sylvester Stallone, about his unlikely path to stardom and the creation of the greatest underdog story ever told.
In the fifty years since Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, he and those steps have become symbols of resilience and determination, and have inspired millions from all over the world to pursue their dreams. In The Steps, Stallone recounts how he pursued his own dreams. A culmination of decades of reflection, Sly shares where he came from - a difficult birth, an even more difficult childhood, years of struggle in school being misunderstood - and he explains how the real story of a successful life is built by facing, embracing and ultimately overcoming our challenges. It's found in the distances we are willing to go and the steps we must take to get from where we are to where we want to go.
In a narrative framed between Stallone's arrival in New York City in 1969 and the triumph of Rocky at the 1977 Academy Awards, Sly weaves a vivid and propulsive portrait of struggle, subsistence and ultimately success. He writes of his early days and later years, too, and the persistence, creativity and resilience that led not only to the creation of Rocky but to a career filled with remarkably iconic roles. The Steps is a testament to Stallone's extraordinary life and a profound meditation on the importance of vision and willpower and hard work.

Všechno mezi námi
Wendy přesně ví, jak vypadá láska. Jako svatební koordinátorka dokáže připravit dokonalý den, který odstartuje to pověstné šťastně až do smrti.
Sama pro sebe ale nic podobného neplánuje. Na vlastní šťastný konec přestala věřit, když jí láska ukázala, že ne vždy končí jako v romantických knihách.
A rozhodně není nutné si připomínat, jak moc umí bolet.
Kdyby mohl, naplánoval by si Hill celý svůj život úhledně do kalendáře. Svět mu dává největší smysl, dokud ho má pod kontrolou a nehrozí žádné nečekané překvapení, které by mu mohlo zkazit den. Pro vztah se v téhle tabulce nikdy nesnažil udělat místo – tvrdí, že závazky nejsou nic pro něj. Jinak by totiž musel přiznat, že jedinou, na které mu kdy záleželo, sám odehnal.
Když se po letech setkají, vrací se všechno, co mezi nimi bylo. Staré výčitky, nikdy nevyřčené věty, ale i přitažlivost, která nikdy nezmizela. Oba vědí, že vrátit se k sobě znamená riskovat další bolest. Bolest, na kterou se oba snažili roky zapomenout.
Ashbourne 2: Než roztaje sníh
Říká se, že čas všechno otupí a já jsem dost tvrdohlavá na to, abych tomu pořád věřila.
Po tom, co jsem jen o chlup unikla znásilnění a doma se mi začal rozpadat život pod rukama, se snažím hlavně nezastavit. Pracuju, šetřím na vlastní cukrárnu a doufám, že strach z doteků a blízkosti mužů jednou přestane rozhodovat za mě.
Bohužel místo klidu si přidám další komplikaci.
Brigádu v kavárně Tristana Kerrigana. Člověka, který mě viděl v tom nejhorším okamžiku mého života. Uzavřeného majitele kavárny, který si od lidí drží stejný odstup, jako já od všeho, co by mě mohlo znovu bolet. Jenže mezi námi se velmi rychle začne dít něco, co jsem rozhodně nečekala.
S příjezdem jeho rodiny a nečekanou cestou do Skotska mi dochází, že tahle zima nebude ani klidná, ani jednoduchá, a jestli jsem se za poslední rok něco naučila, pak to, že katastrofy si mě vždycky najdou.
Tentokrát jen vypadají o něco přitažlivěji.

Můžeš milovat někoho, kdo tě kdysi zničil?
A věřit, že tentokrát to dopadne jinak?
Samantha dostala druhou šanci na život, jenže jí nikdo neřekl, jak těžké je skutečně čelit každému novému dni. Poté, co nahlédla do temnoty, ji stíny nadpřirozena odmítají pustit a šance na obyčejnou existenci se rozplývá.
V okamžiku, kdy se snaží slepit střípky svého starého já, se její oporou stává někdo, od koho by měla utíkat. Někdo, kdo v ní vidí víc než jen zraněnou dívku – možná pravdu, před kterou ona sama zavírá oči.
Mezi osudovým poutem, které ji drží v minulosti, a nebezpečnou přitažlivostí neznámého se hranice mezi tím, kým Sam byla a kým se stává, nenávratně stírá.
Protože ne všechno, co miluješ, je pro tebe správné. A ne každé štěstí stojí za cenu ublížení těm, kteří ti ještě zbyli.

How to Defeat a Demon King in Ten Easy Steps
'An endlessly inventive and entertaining love letter to all of us underdogs who spent countless hours with a game controller in hand, daydreaming about how we would save the realm' Matt Dinniman, New York Times-bestselling author of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series
STEP ONE: BE THE LEGENDARY CHOSEN HERO
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilisations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.And so, Yui Shaw sets out with an ambitious plan. A 10-step plan.She'll find a way to obtain the Hero's legendary sword. She'll earn obscure classes, gain levels, and increase her skills. She'll travel to the meticulously-crafted dungeons that seem designed for one specific Hero to complete. And, if she's truly (un)fortunate, she might even find a fairy.
