Máš nárok na život
Co kdybyste věděli, že vám zbývá jen jeden rok života?
Ne jako dramatická představa, ale jako jednoduchý filtr pro každé rozhodnutí: Stojí tahle věc opravdu za můj čas?
Německá autorka Alexandra Reinwarth si tuto otázku položila a rozhodla se podle ní jeden rok žít. Výsledek byl překvapivý. Najednou začaly být některé věci naprosto zbytečné – nekonečné pracovní povinnosti, konflikty, očekávání druhých. A jiné věci se naopak ukázaly jako mnohem důležitější, než si kdy myslela.
V této osobní a velmi čtivé knize ukazuje, jak může jednoduchý myšlenkový experiment radikálně změnit náš pohled na práci, vztahy, přátelství i každodenní rozhodování.
Máš nárok na život není návod na radikální změnu života. Je to spíš pozvání položit si otázku, kterou si klademe příliš zřídka: Co je v mém životě opravdu důležité – a proč to odkládám na později?
Atlas Pekla
Šest příběhů z míst na hranici Pekla, vyprávěných pokaždé jiným stylem. Vše propojuje autorova temná imaginace, která volně překračuje hranice mezi hororem, surrealismem a dark fantasy.
Nathan Ballingrud je poměrně novou tváří na americké hororové scéně, ale svými dvěma povídkovými sbírkami si již získal značný respekt. Toto je druhá z nich.
Obsah: Atlas Pekla, Uctívač ďábla, Lebková dlabaná, Chřtán, Špína, která je vidět, Řeznický stůl.
Pohlednice
V lednu 2003 obdržela rodina Berestových záhadnou nepodepsanou pohlednici. Na jedné straně byl obrázek Opéry Garnier; na druhé straně jména jejich příbuzných, kteří byli zabiti v Osvětimi: Ephraim, Emma, Noémie a Jacques.O několik let později se Anne snažila najít pravdu, která se za touto pohlednicí skrývala. Vydává se o 100 let do minulosti a sleduje životy svých předků od jejich útěku z Ruska po revoluci, přes cestu do Lotyšska, Palestiny a Paříže, až po válku a její následky. Vzniká napínavý a strhující příběh založený na skutečných událostech, který boří její jistoty o rodině, zemi i o ní samotné.Pohlednice, která je zároveň strhujícím vyšetřováním rodinných tajemství, dojemným příběhem matek a dcer a strhujícím portrétem pařížského intelektuálního a uměleckého života 20. století, vypráví příběh rodiny zničené holocaustem, ale přesto nějakým způsobem obnovené láskou a silou vyprávění.

PÁTRÁNÍ PO NEBEZPEČNÉM MUŽI ZAVEDE BRITSKOU INSPEKTORKU DO ATHÉN…
Zatímco Evropu paralyzuje migrační vlna a Islámský stát upevňuje svou moc na Blízkém východě, britská inspektorka Elizabeth Ainsleyová obsesivně pátrá po své nemesis: teroristovi Thomasi Metzingerovi.
Po měsících marného hledání konečně přichází indicie z Athén. Jordánský zpravodajec má na levé paži vyrytý Metzingerův symbolický jazyk a tvrdí, že se setkal s božím zvěstovatelem konce světa a že se musí vykoupit ze svých hříchů, dříve než svět pohltí pekelné plameny.
Ainsleyovou však více než náboženský fanatismus děsí Metzingerovy biologické zbraně, které by v rukou Islámského státu znamenaly skutečnou apokalypsu. Netuší ale, že v hlubinách irácké pouště se skrývá něco mnohem děsivějšího. Něco, co překračuje evolučně dané hranice lidského vědomí a otevírá brány do samotných hlubin pekla…
"Nový thriller Marka Havlíka o nejtemnějších zákoutích lidského mozku je opět strhující čtení. V Athénách a Iráku se skrývají odpovědi na řadu nezodpovězených otázek. Děsivé a neuvěřitelně napínavé." – Jiří Horáček, profesor psychiatrie

The Blue Dress
Sometimes Yasmin doesn’t feel at home in her body. And it’s not just because puberty has mounted a full-on alien invasion, or that emigrating from Iran a year and a half ago has meant one change after another. It’s also because her mother constantly pushes her to lose weight, like sewing Yasmin a beautiful blue dress for Persian New Year that is too tight on purpose. At school, it doesn’t help that Yasmin’s best friend, Carmen, is petite and close to her own mother, or that popular-girl Zoe always has a mean comment to spare. Yasmin is sure her crush, Jack, won’t ever like her the way she is, either. With the pressure to fit in closing in on all sides, Yasmin starts taking desperate measures. But if being thin is supposed to make her happier, then why does losing weight feel like losing parts of herself, to? rom debut author Rebecca Morrison comes a heart-rending, humorous, and ultimately hopeful book inspired by her own life, relatable to anyone who has ever needed to break away from someone else’s vision of how they should look in order to embrace their true self.

Returns to Marrakesh / Retour a Marrakech
"On the way to Marrakesh, a superb sunrise, the sun high in the sky." With this simple yet luminous opening, Abdelwahab Meddeb invites the reader to wander the vibrant streets and sacred sites of this lively city in the heart of Morocco. Returns to Marrakesh chronicles Meddeb’s return visits to the Red City from 1968 through the 1990s, documenting both his personal journey and the city’s transformation across three pivotal decades. Through his distinctive blend of poetic prose and keen observation, Meddeb reveals Marrakesh as a historical crossroads where diverse populations—Jewish and Muslim communities, different social classes, Sufi mystics, and merchants—have created a uniquely multilayered urban space. Capturing Marrakesh’s sounds, scents, and sights, these vivid travel notes portrays a city teeming with life and infused with an intense array of colors. The bilingual edition includes both Meddeb’s original French and its English translation, making accessible the work of one of North Africa’s most important voices.
Total Garbage
Trash has been part of human societies since the beginning. It seems like the inevitable end to the process of making and using things, but why? Rebecca Donnelly wades into the muck of history and explores present-day innovations to answer some basic questions: Why do we make so much trash? Why are we so bad at handling it? How can we stop it (that is, us) from ruining the planet? She also looks into the out-there trash phenomena like the fatberg - a sewer-clogging floater of congealed cooking grease, baby wipes, and miscellaneous other flushed items. The current record holder for size: 800 feet long and 143 tons!
Choosing You
At forty-one, Melanie Glick has made peace with being perpetually single. She’d rather be alone than be someone’s consolation prize. So, she spends her nights tending bar at The Ugly Mug and fills her days writing music, hoping she’ll someday find the courage to perform it. Nothing in her life has ever been quite the same since she lost her best friend, Cara, in a tragic accident decades ago, but the music keeps her going. When Cara’s brother comes flying into town like a blast from the past, he stirs up old memories, new feelings, and a chance at something she never thought she’d have again. Country music singer Josh Cote hasn’t set foot in Cape May since he was sixteen. After he lost his sister, the charming small town has been a constant reminder of all he’s lost. But with the 25th anniversary of Cara’s death approaching, Josh decides to pass through on a road trip designed to inspire his first solo album. His first stop? The Ugly Mug, where he comes face-to-face with Melanie, his teenage muse. When he spots the tattoo on her wrist in Cara’s handwriting, Josh has the overwhelming desire to get to know Melanie, all over again. When Melanie offers Josh a place to stay, it feels impulsive—but their connection is instant, rooted in shared grief and a first love that never died. Neither expects the pull between them to grow stronger each day, as their temporary arrangement deepens into something they can’t ignore. But with Josh’s looming departure and a long-buried secret casting a shadow over their budding romance, Melanie and Josh must confront the ghosts of their past if they have a chance at a future. Can new love truly heal old wounds, or are some scars too deep to mend?
