Illias
Ilias je starořecký hrdinský epos, jehož autorství je tradičně připisováno básníku Homérovi.
Byl napsán časoměrným daktylským hexametrem, má 24 zpěvů a téměř 16 tisíc veršů. Vznikl asi někdy v polovině 8. století př. n. l. a zpracovává epizodu z okruhu pověstí o Trójské válce.
Epos Ilias časově předchází eposu Odysseia. Sepsat, respektive uspořádat jeho písemné verze nechal v 6. století př. n. l. athénský tyran Peisistratos, do té doby se oba eposy tradovaly pouze ústně.
Význam tohoto díla je obrovský, neboť ovlivnilo řecké náboženství, mytologii a část řecké literatury. Zároveň se stalo nejstarším zachovaným dílem evropské literatury a v dějinách ovlivňovalo evropské myšlení.
Tak sa nevolám
Roztrasená a dobitá tínedžerka sa prebudí pri poľnej ceste a vôbec si nepamätá, ako sa tam dostala – a kto v skutočnosti je.
Hliadkujúci policajt ju vezme na policajnú stanicu a onedlho sa tam zjaví rozrušený muž. Hľadá ju už celé hodiny. Má jej školský preukaz, rodný list a dokonca aj rodinné fotky.
Dievča sa volá Mary a on je jej otec. Aspoň to tvrdí.
Keď Lola zabuchla dvere auta a nahnevane odpochodovala do tmy, Drew si myslel, že obaja len potrebujú vychladnúť. Lenže Lola zmizla a šerif, Drewovi priatelia a všetci miestni sú presvedčení, že práve Drew svoju priateľku zabil. Na dokazovaní svojej neviny mu nezáleží, musí ju nájsť, skôr ako bude neskoro. Čím dlhšie je Lola nezvestná, tým menej stôp sa dá sledovať.
A tým väčšie nebezpečenstvo im obom hrozí.
Začítajte sa do napínavej skladačky klamstiev, zvratov a nezodpovedaných otázok, ktoré stoja v ceste pri hľadaní spravodlivosti.

Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend.

Taipei Story
TAIPEI STORY is the electrifying new novel by bestselling literary phenomenon Rebecca F. Kuang, a profoundly moving coming-of-age story that explores first love, second language and final goodbyes – all set against the backdrop of one unforgettable summer in Taipei.
Yale student Lily Chen arrives in Taipei hungry: for family, for culture, for connection.
But her summer of discovery quickly unravels. Her classes are grueling, her roommate unbearable, and a reckless, deeply awkward trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon ignites vicious gossip.
Then her grandfather dies. Grieving and adrift, Lily must confront her own questions about the culture she inherited but never fully understood. She embarks on a wryly funny, often devastating search for understanding: of herself, her family, and the meaning of home.
All over one unforgettable summer in Taipei.
Assassins and Templars
The story of the medieval world’s most extraordinary organisations, the Assassins and the Templars
The Assassins and the Templars are two of history’s most legendary groups. One was a Shi’ite religious sect, the other a Christian military order created to defend the Holy Land. Violently opposed, they had vastly different reputations, followings, and ambitions. Yet they developed strikingly similar strategies—and their intertwined stories have, oddly enough, uncanny parallels.
In this engaging account, Steve Tibble traces the history of these two groups from their origins to their ultimate destruction. He shows how, outnumbered and surrounded, they survived only by perfecting “the promise of death,” either in the form of a Templar charge or an Assassin’s dagger. Death, for themselves or their enemies, was at the core of these extraordinary organisations.
Their fanaticism changed the medieval world—and, even up to the present day, in video games and countless conspiracy theories, they have become endlessly conjoined in myth and memory.
A Right to Housing?
In the fight for housing, we are caught between the world we know and the world we want. A Right to Housing? offers both a roadmap and a reckoning. Drawing from his own experiences of on-the-ground organizing, Stein lays out practical policies for enacting a right to shelter, a right to a home, and a right to the city itself.With unflinching honesty, he then explores why these visions continuously crash against the rocks of political reality. From the power of real estate capital to the inadequacy of our institutions, he reveals the forces blocking our path-and summons the complex feelings of a Left that has lost faith in the future.Written in the heady weeks surrounding Zohran Mamdani's historic election for New York City mayor, Stein frames the book around the stirring possibilities and structural constraints of a socialist administration in the financial center of a sputtering empire. He opens a space for action in the absence of hope. This is an examination of life and politics at the intersection of optimism and pessimism, nihilism and naivety, faith and doubt-an essential book for activists, planners, and anyone who refuses to accept the housing crisis as inevitable or immutable.

Drak sa vracia, 2. vydanie
A tu sa pred ňou vynoril ten, o ktorom vedela, že raz príde. Usmieval sa jej do tváre a díval sa na ňu spýtavým, žiarivo čiernym pohľadom. Hanbila sa za svoje rozpaky, ale neľutovala, že počul jej pieseň. Nemusela nič viac hovoriť, ani on sa jej nemusel prihovárať, pretože začiatok povedala pieseň a ostatok dopovedal jeho pohľad. Cítila, ako sa pod ním celá prebára a roztápa – ako ľad na zamrznutej rieke, keď naň zasvieti jarné slnko. Nemohla to pred ním zatajiť a nechcela ani nič zatajovať. Zdvihla k nemu zrak, z ktorého on ľahko vyčítal plachý súhlas...
Dobroslav Chrobák (1907 – 1951), prozaik, literárny kritik a publicista, patrí spolu s Margitou Figuli a Františkom Švantnerom k významným predstaviteľom naturizmu. Po časopisecky uverejňovaných krátkych prózach knižne debutoval zbierkou noviel s dedinskou i mestskou tematikou Kamarát Jašek (1937). Jeho vrcholným dielom je románová novela Drak sa vracia (1943), ktorá sa právom radí ku klenotom slovenskej literatúry.
Temné sily 2: Nôž do srdca
Mesiac po tom, ako prežila skúšky do Temných síl, sa Emery ocitne vo svete, aký nespoznáva – s mužom, v ktorého chladnom pohľade sa ukrývajú tajomstvá, no ona si na ne nespomína. Hoci ju neťažia spomienky, trápia ju zlé sny plné nebezpečenstva, smrti a lží. Jedinou istotou v jej živote je lákavé pokušenie v podobe experimentálnej drogy, ktorá jej ničí myseľ, no zároveň ju robí takmer neporaziteľnou. A ešte je tu muž menom Mori.
Mori musí zvádzať boj, ktorý už dávno považuje za prehratý. Vie, že ak sa Emery vrátia spomienky, zničí ich to oboch, no zároveň sú kliatbou, pred ktorou ani jeden z nich nedokáže uniknúť. Keď sú prinútení spolupracovať na osudovej misii, ktorá zlyhá na plnej čiare, obaja sa ocitnú v hlbinách podsvetia a čierneho trhu – tvárou v tvár nečakanému nepriateľovi.
No len čo sa otvoria staré jazvy a odhalia tajné sprisahania, Emery zistí, že je oveľa väčšmi súčasťou tohto sveta, než by sa nazdávala. Mori zas musí čeliť jedinej osobe, z ktorej má skutočný strach: sebe samému.
Je to skúška lojálnosti. Tajomstvá sa stávajú nebezpečnými zbraňami. Ich puto – spečatené krvou – je možno tým jediným, čo ich môže zachrániť. Ak ich ešte predtým nepohltí temnota.

We Already Dug the Grave
From the USA Today bestselling author of This Girl’s a Killer, comes a southern gothic thriller with the bite of Sharp Objects and a dash of Practical Magic, following two estranged sisters who will do anything to protect each other – even murder. Again.
Milly can’t divine the future anymore, and maybe that’s a good thing. Lately, her life has been bleak enough, she doesn’t need the now-silent tea leaves to tell her. Meanwhile, her estranged younger sister thrives miles away in a shiny new life with a shiny new marriage. Milly doesn’t blame Francis for wanting nothing to do with her. Not after what happened in that Tennessee meadow a decade before.
But when Francis shows up on Milly’s doorstep with a black eye and a plea for help – Milly can’t say no. Especially when the tea leaves are finally crystal clear: if the sisters don’t kill Francis’s husband, he’ll kill her.
And if they’re going to plot a murder, the sisters have no choice but to return to the one place they’d left behind. A place where another body – and a multitude of secrets – were buried. Because this isn’t the first time the sisters have needed to dispose of a bad man. In fact, they might be pretty good at it.

Hold Still
Where does the impulse to create come from? What are the forces that shape an artist’s work? This ground-breaking memoir, a unique interplay of narrative and image, charts the making of one of America’s greatest artists. As Sally Mann tells her story, her work’s preoccupation with family, race, mortality, and the storied landscape of the American South is revealed as almost genetically predetermined, written into her DNA by the family history that precedes her.Sorting through boxes of family papers and yellowed photographs she finds more than she bargained for: "deceit and scandal, alcohol, domestic abuse, car crashes, bogeymen, clandestine affairs, dearly loved and disputed family land . . . racial complications, vast sums of money made and lost, the return of the prodigal son, and maybe even bloody murder."In lyrical prose and startlingly revealing photographs, she crafts a totally original form of personal history that has the page-turning drama of a great novel but is firmly rooted in the fertile soil of her own experience. This is the record of an artist’s life, and a meditation on place, people, family, and the nature of creativity itself.
