V malém irském městečku Crossmore na počátku devadesátých let všichni vědí, jak má vypadat správný život. Lucy by se měla zamilovat do chlapce ze sousedního statku, vdát se, mít děti a zůstat tam, kde vyrostla. Jenže Lucy má stále silnější tušení, že takový život není pro ni. Důvodem je Susanna – její kamarádka, k níž ji poutá něco mnohem hlubšího, nebezpečnějšího a krásnějšího, než si Lucy dokáže přiznat. Během jednoho léta přeroste přátelství v tajný spalující vztah. Jejich láska se rodí potají – v dopisech, pohledech, ukradených chvílích a v horku léta, které pálí stejně jako strach z odhalení. Lucy se učí žít dvojí život: navenek poslušná dcera, uvnitř dívka rozechvělá první láskou, touhou a strachem z odsouzení. V konzervativní komunitě, kde se nic neutají a kde náboženství, rodina i tradice určují hranice toho, co se smí a co nesmí, se však každé rozhodnutí zdá stejně kruté.

Neměl by se ke mně ani přibližovat, natož abychom se dotýkali. Jenže právě on je jediný, komu můžu věřit, že mě dostane zpátky do Křišťálové kotliny. Jenom se nejdřív budeme muset dostat přes devět pekelných kruhů.

[A] moving romance novel’ Foreword ReviewsFall in love when you least expect it…––––––When Clara meets Elias, she isn’t looking for love. Widowed and wary of being hurt again, she has built a careful life of work and quiet independence. Elias, an actor in his thirties, is trapped in a relationship that no longer feels real, more at ease slipping into a role than being himself. Yet from the moment they meet, something genuine sparks between them – something neither has felt in years. They fall into step easily, sharing secrets, laughter and the sense of being seen. But there is the age difference, the miles between their worlds, and the lingering guilt that ties Clara to her past. When a new job takes her to another part of the country, she ends the relationship before he can – certain that love like theirs cannot last. And then Elias falls ill, forcing them both to confront what truly matters. Told with warmth, gentle humour and quiet insight, Love, After All is a luminous portrait of two people finding the courage to open their hearts again – proof that love, at any age, can still take us by surprise. _______‘Ewald Arenz understands the human heart in all its nuances and vagaries … a masterclass in honest, insightful writing.

'This book will give you language for something you felt your whole life but couldn't quite articulate.'From the foreword by Mel Robbins, author of The Let Them Theory You're not stuck because the problem is too hard.You're stuck because something invisible is holding it in place. Most persistent problems-at work, in organizations, and in our own lives-aren't unsolvable. We've tried harder. We've optimized. We've worried about it. And nothing changes. This is the kind of stuckness that shows up for people who lead, create, and build-for those who care deeply, think clearly, and still find themselves going in circles. Some challenges are situations outside our control, best met with acceptance. But others are real problems, capable of being changed. The trouble is, we often can't tell the difference. That's because we're entangled. An entanglement is a hidden commitment that creates conflict beneath the surface: wanting progress without risk, change without loss, or forward motion without letting go of who we were-or who we promised to become. When we want two incompatible things at the same time, effort doesn't help. We stay stuck. In The Knot, Seth Godin offers a clear, practical framework: * How to tell the difference between problems you can solve and situations you need to accept* How to see systems, understand what people actually want, and create conditions for change rather than simply hoping for it* A practical guide to entanglements-time-based (sunk costs, premature optimization), social (phantom audiences, borrowed scorecards), and identity-based (who we were, who we promised to become) - each named, examined, and shown to be removable The book leaves readers with a simple mantra for meaningful work: Name the baggage.Drop the baggage.Ship the work. If you've been pushing without progress, this book helps you see what's really in the way - and finally remove it.

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling age-gap, forbidden MM romance about an FBI agent and the Camorra enforcer who thaws his frozen heart.TomI know a secret that can destroy the most powerful crime organization in America.For years, I've watched Enzo Ferrante get away with murder. Literally. He's slipped between the FBI's fingers time after time, spreading terror and mayhem on the streets of New York, masked beneath a gorgeous face and elegant pedigree. A sloppy error on his part results in an incident that unexpectedly binds us together. Suddenly, I'm no longer the special agent who is thirsty for his blood. I'm his savior. His god. The light in his pitch-black existence. Now that I caught the social butterfly in my spider web, I'm never letting go. He is about to taste the venomous kiss of betrayal as I put him and his entire family behind bars for the rest of their lives. Because when the night falls, the Camorra's enforcer crawls between my sheets and whispers all his sordid secrets in my ear. Enzo Ferrante is completely and utterly mine, and no one knows. Not even not his lovely fiancée. READERS ARE ALREADY OBSESSED WITH L.J. SHEN: 'The way this book had me in a chokehold''I'm honestly speechless''New favourite author! I could NOT put this book down''This book was everything . . . GRAB THIS BOOK NOW''All emotions covered''Five stars all day long'

This book provides a critical theory of the new stage of algorithmic capitalism, and maps out paths for critique and resistance. AI and algorithms are not just technologies, they are rooted in new capitalist forms and processes that transcend economics and technology. as a result, they profoundly reshape social reality, politics, culture and subjectivities. Set out in 20 theses, that stretch from geopolitics, the mining of rare earths, labour, crypto, influencers, climate change, GenAI, social acceleration, Silicon Valley ideologies and predictive policing, this book situates contemporary social change in the context of the advent of algorithmic capital. Through this the authors show how the valorization of data and the development of AI are symptoms of deeper socio-economic and political mutations. Algorithmic capital is, at once, a logic of accumulation, a form of social power, a mediation of social relations and a relation to nature, as well as a multidimensional reality that profoundly reshapes social life. In the face of this new stage of capitalism, the book explores paths towards organizing and resistance, tracing ways of fighting and exiting algorithmic capitalism towards a post-capitalist and just world.

Historické romance Jany Pronskej v ničom nezaostávajú za podobnými príbehmi z pera anglických alebo amerických autoriek, ibaže sa neodohrávajú v Londýne či Paríži, ale na stredovekom Slovensku. V plnej miere to platí aj o románe Zlatníkova chovanica z roku 2008, ktorým obľúbená spisovateľka odštartovala svoju úspešnú literárnu kariéru a ktorý vám ponúkame v novom vydaní. Na Ľubovnianskom hrade sú prípravy na svadbu v plnom prúde, no nikto nepozná skutočnú totožnosť zlatníckeho tovariša, ktorý vyrobil nezvyčajne krásne šperky pre syna krakovského kniežaťa a jeho nevestu z významného rodu. Mladý hradný pán, pospolitým ľudom nazývaný aj čierny rytier, má bystrý zrak, ale keď odhalí tovarišovo tajomstvo, je stratený. Aj pre nádejného ženícha je ťažké odolať Arieninmu magickému čaru, ktoré väčšmi než vo fyzickom pôvabe spočíva v jej osobnosti. A tak sobáš z rozumu, vopred dohodnutý mocnými, je ohrozený...

Lovec se stává loveným… Když je u odlehlého kostela v Rajském poli nalezen mrtvý muž, je detektiv šéfinspektor Ryan jedinou další osobou v okruhu několika kilometrů. Policie nemá žádnou vražednou zbraň, žádný motiv ani žádné podezřelé – kromě Ryana. Ryan je už suspendován z Northumbrijského policejního sboru, a tak musí napnout všechny síly, aby očistil své jméno. Brzy však půjde o mnohem víc než jen o jeho kariéru, když začnou umírat významní členové tajemného „Kruhu“. Někdo očividně touží po tom, aby se Ryanovo jméno objevilo jako další na koronerově seznamu, a pokud chce tuto těžkou zkoušku přežít, musí odhalit ďábla, který chodí mezi nimi – než bude příliš pozdě. Bohužel pro Ryana, ďábel vypadá úplně jako všichni ostatní…

HE DEFIED HIS PACK TO LOVE ME I had two childhood dreams: to shift into a wolf, and to win Nordin Stormsson’s forbidden heart. My first dream shattered the day my mother confessed I wasn’t a shifter, but a valkyrie?stranded in a land far from my people. My second was crushed when Nordin rejected me…only to claim another as his mate. So I ran. Heartbroken, I crossed beyond the wards in search of my birth clan. But freedom came at a cost. Dragons, vampyrs, and enemy wolves stalked me through the dark. They weren’t the only ones who came after me, though. Nordin came too. He seized me before they could, stealing my body and then my heart. For a time, I dared to dream once more, to imagine a future with Nordin in the land of ice and wolves. Until I uncovered his most closely guarded secret. A truth about my past. One that ruined us all.

#1 bestselling author John Green makes his much-anticipated return to fiction with a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story that brilliantly confronts the private cost of a public life. For rising young actors Kai Laramie and Juniper Castillo, being cast in the buzzy biopic Andy Warhol Never Gets Old is the opportunity they’ve both been waiting for. They’re on the verge of breaking out, and maybe even falling in love.Soon, the movie is blowing up, and so are their lives—in exciting, but also terrifying, ways. John Green artfully blends a behind-the-scenes Hollywood love story with an unflinching examination of the insatiable attention economy. Told through dual points of view, the novel follows Kai and Juniper from the first days on location to the movie’s premiere, brilliantly juxtaposing their story with the on-screen study of Warhol’s life at the dawn of celebrity culture.Hollywood, Ending is a deeply observed novel about the tension between a public and a private life, and finding your safe someone to hold onto. Tender, heartbreaking, and shrewdly funny, this is a story as only John Green can tell it.

Em z Hvozdu, sedmnáctiletá dcera šlechtice, se neprosila o to být výjimečná. Jenže když vám v žilách probublává vílí prach a za krk dýchá pohledný velitel stráže, který nedůvěřuje ničemu jiskřivě podezřelému, je těžké zůstat nenápadná.
