But when she is framed for the capital crime of housebreaking and condemned to the Tolbooth, she must rely on her ingenuity – and her allies – to clear her name. As events spiral, how will she resolve this muddle without bringing Enlightenment society crashing down?

Hádajko 9 2026 a harfa pani kňažnej
Jedného dňa sa na nádvorí istého múzea zjavila harfa. Nikto nevie, kde sa tam vzala a prečo – jednoducho, večer bolo nádvorie prázdne, no ráno tam stála harfa a ľahký vánok zľahka brnkal na jej struny.
Čo s ňou teraz treba urobiť? Harfa má zrejme majiteľa a ten si po ňu určite o chvíľu príde, no plynuli minúty a tie sa postupne zmenili na hodiny, no opustená harfa stále stála na nádvorí a neprišiel si po ňu nikto…
Čo teraz? Vylúšti si všetky hlavolamy z tohto čísla Hádajka, a dozvieš sa, aká záhada sa tam skrýva!
Imaginative Bodies : Dialogues in Performance Practices
It is through the sentient body that we experience, know and imagine--and so the body is perhaps the most important tool for making and experiencing art. Imaginative Bodies reaffirms the central position of the body in various artistic practices through in-depth conversations with choreographers, composers, visual artists, hip hop artists, dramaturges, a light designer and a puppeteer. The contributors discuss the place of the body in their own work, and in relation to wider debates on the body in philosophy, science, medicine, anthropology and the arts. Each artist interviewed also raises a more specific theme, ranging from poetics to politics, from mythology to ecology, from intercultural studies to conflict management. These talks give an intimate insight into the artists' creative processes, inspirations, sources, identities and ways of collaborating.

To Have or To Hold
LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITINGA BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025A thrilling exploration of nature’s symbiotic relationships by the award-winning author of Forget Me Not.What can nature teach us about living together? Investigating eight symbiotic relationships trying to survive the climate and biodiversity crises, Sophie Pavelle explains why it has never been more vital for us to understand symbiosis. Symbiotic relationships regulate ecosystems, strengthen resilience and bind pivotal connections, and nature thrives on relationships as glamorous as they are grotesque and as bizarre as they are engrossing.Symbiotic relationships don''t happen accidentally – these dynamics evolved – and species form and sever alliances everywhere, from deep within temperate rainforests to the open ocean, quiet tidal pools or chalk grasslands.In To Have or To Hold, Sophie low-carbon travels in the British Isles relishing the interconnectedness between species, celebrating the relationships underpinning natural environments and sharing some of nature’s frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.The natural world is built on parasitism, a cunning blend of bargaining and exploitation in the name of survival. In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature’s resources? Or will we vow to love and cherish what remains – shaping a more restorative life alongside nature – till death us do part?
The Flight
A young man''s passion for his father''s mistress turns tragic in this deft Russian novel by the author of modernist masterpiece The Spectre of Alexander Wolf.“The Gazdanov revival... is nothing short of a literary event.” —Times Literary Supplement Mixing psychological drama with devastating, sunsoaked romance, this modernist take on the traditional Russian 19th-century realist novel epitomised by Tolstoy delivers a timeless statement on the tension between sensuality and duty, community and freedom.While summering on the French Riviera, the young Seryozha secretly becomes the lover of the much older Liza—who is also his father''s mistress. As autumn approaches, they reluctantly part: Liza to return to Paris, Seryozha to take up his studies at university in London. When he finds out about their affair, Seryozha''s father attempts to convince Liza to leave his son, for the sake of the boy''s own happiness. She finally gives in—but a sudden, fatal catastrophe changes everything.An account of twisted love and youthful disillusionment that recalls Vladimir Nabokov and Françoise Sagan, full of secrets and reversals, Gazdanov''s second novel is proof of his wide-ranging talents. Originally written before his celebrated noir experiments, The Spectre of Alexander Wolf and The Buddha''s Return, The Flight blends tragic inevitability, complex and fractured family relationships, and a whirling cast of émigrés struggling to break through each other’s solitude to make for a devastating and compelling read.

History of Criminal Tudor England
From noble intrigues at the restless royal court to the rough justice of parish life, A History of Criminal Tudor England explores how law, transgression, and faith shaped a society perched between medieval order and modern ambition. In a world ruled by the rhythm of the church and the uncertainty of the seasons, theft, murder, and misfortune exposed both the desperation and the ingenuity of England’s people.Drawing on centuries of legal records and the vivid stories buried in the plea rolls and assize courts, this book uncovers a world of accidents and murders, faith and cunning. Here are joiners who built secret priest holes, vagrants who defied their parishes, and killers who escaped the noose by reciting a single verse of scripture.Through these tales of fear, faith, and fragile justice, we see Tudor England not as a distant past, but as a living, breathing society which was restless, devout, and dangerously human.
