All the Feels
*‘All The Feels is a brilliant field-guide for all of us trying to make sense of the weird and even wonderful ways our love of technology is transforming our emotional lives. I urge you to read it!’ Tiffany Watt Smith, author of The Book of Human EmotionsTechnology is transforming the way we feel and express emotions, from rage-fuelled doomscrolling and ‘three-dot’ texting anxiety to the entire pantheon of emojis and memes at our disposal. Tech can amplify our feelings, foster ‘emotional contagion’, and help us to build close relationships. Our emotional intelligence has already been expanded, from the nuanced expression of a well-timed GIF to the ways we treat Siri and Alexa more like friends than computer programs. But could the next wave of tech rewire the way we express ourselves and understand others even further? And, with computers now able to read and express sentiments too, how can we best navigate this new landscape in which our emotional lives have become inextricably entwined with our digital lives? We’re often told just to ‘switch off’, but that’s becoming more difficult. Instead of raging against the machines, we could learn how to live with them. Tech no longer stands apart from who we are; it is reshaping our inner lives. In this groundbreaking and much-needed book, Pamela Pavliscak provides the toolkit we’ve been waiting for, encouraging readers to look forward to a healthier, more emotionally diverse future. It’s time to harness the power of technology to lead emotionally rich lives – both online and off. _______‘Hugely refreshing.’ Elaine Kasket, author of Reset: Rethinking Your Digital World for a Happier Life‘Nuanced, compassionate, and clearly written, this is a deeply humane book that we can all benefit from.’ Ethan Kross, International bestselling Author of Chatter and Shift
The Everest Mystery
There is no mystery more compelling than the disappearance of British mountaineer George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, last seen ‘going strong for the top’ of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924. Mallory was a renowned climber; Irvine was a daring young sportsman embarking on the greatest adventure of his life . . . The question of exactly what happened to them on that fateful day has fascinated people for more than a century. Now, Irvine’s great-niece Julie Summers and mountaineering historian Jochen Hemmleb have written a gripping account of the 1924 expedition from Sandy’s perspective, challenging misconceptions regarding his role and the skills and knowledge of the two men. The narrative brings to life all the remarkable characters involved in the attempt and describes the extraordinary feats of endurance and planning needed to survive the extreme conditions on Everest. The authors also examine whether the two men reached the summit – becoming the first to do so – or died on the ascent. Were their bodies seen by Chinese expeditions in 1960 and 1975? What can we learn from the discoveries of Mallory’s remains in 1999 and Sandy’s boot and foot in September 2024?An intriguing detective story, The Everest Mystery is also a moving account of men pushing themselves to their limits in an attempt to make history.

The August Coup
'Lively and insightful' – The Times‘Superb . . . A work of quite exceptional scholarship and narrative verve’ – Literary Review‘A must-read for those fascinated by the decline and fall of the USSR’ – Mark Galeotti'Immensely well-researched and compellingly written . . . grips the reader from page one' – Andrew RobertsFrom the acclaimed author of Kremlin Winter and Blood on the Snow, a dramatic and expertly researched account of an extraordinary moment in Russia’s recent history: the August Coup. In the summer of 1991, a group of eight plotters came together to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachëv, then the president of the USSR. These ruthless conspirators, who occupied positions of high office, declared a state of emergency to restore stability through authoritarian rule. The reality turned out to be a shambolic failure which hastened the fall of the USSR and a pivotal shift from communism to capitalism. Beginning with a minute-by-minute re-enactment of Gorbachëv’s capture in his holiday home in Crimea, Robert Service follows the plot from its inception to its humiliating collapse. The troubling side effects of Gorbachëv’s well-meant reforms in the Soviet Union – business fraud, government corruption, organized crime and interethnic conflict – increased exponentially, and a New Russia was born. Fathered by Boris Yeltsin, it brought lamentably less benefit to the Russian economy or its people than he had promised. Linking the years from the coup itself to today’s Russia under Vladimir Putin, The August Coup is a thoroughly compelling and original chronicle of a moment that changed Russian and global politics forever.
The Big Hop
A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today. But it is only possible because of those who went first. ‘Vivid and compelling’ John Lancaster‘A delectable serving of escapist nostalgia’ The Times, Book of the WeekNewfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft – made mainly from wood and stiff linen – struggled to take off from the North American island’s rocky slopes. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold and barely able to move, but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them, and as the waves raged a few miles below, memories of wartime crashes resurfaced . . . Mining letters, diaries and evocative unpublished photographs, David Rooney’s deeply researched account of this audacious contest shows how it was the airmen’s thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the ‘Big Hop’, and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure. ‘Excellent… consists of colourful biographical sketches of the aviators who took part in the competition and thrilling accounts of their efforts’ Daily Mail‘A glorious romp through an overlooked part of aviation history, stuffed full of intriguing characters and white-knuckle courage’ Sunday Times
Heirs and Graces
THE FASCINATING NEW HISTORY OF THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WARA Financial Times Best History Book of 2025'A superb survey of the aristocracy today and how we got here… A marvellous book' - The Times'An enthralling chronicle of the British aristocracy' - Financial Times'Eleanor Doughty is a shrewd, measured analyst, her writing aided by a lively pen and wry sense of humour.' - Country Life'A deeply researched and highly entertaining account' - Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey'This well-written, well-researched and fascinating book could not be better timed.' -Lord (Andrew) Roberts, author of The Chief: The Life of Lord Northcliffe Britain's Greatest Press Baron-------There are fewer than 5000 people who can genuinely claim to be members of the British aristocracy, and yet they loom large in the popular consciousness. We're fascinated by their houses and estates, their lives and loves, their foibles and eccentricities. And we entertain the strong suspicion that, while they may be fellow citizens, they are very far from being People Like Us. In Heirs and Graces Eleanor Doughty draws on her unparalleled access to a bewildering range of dukes, duchesses, earls and others to create a vivid picture of who they are and how they tick. En route she traces their progress from a post-war era when they and their like were described by one future Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer as 'selfish, depraved, dissolute and decadent' to their diverse current roles as guardians of vast ancestral mansions, farmers, financiers and much else beside. She looks at key rites of passage, from cradle, via boarding school to grave. And she tells stories of their ups and downs, and of the doings of the heroes and villains who fill their ranks. The result is a wonderfully rich, often amusing, always revealing account of the fortunes of the aristocracy over the past century and a series of fascinating glimpses into what it is like to be an aristocrat in Britain today.
No Fair Maidens
'I loved this book. Memoir, myth and magic wrapped up together.' Emily Hauser'Kim Willis is an expert storyteller' Emma GannonThrough the threads of folklore, mythology, memoir, history and landscape, No Fair Maidens identifies a better way of being for modern women, and crafts a new vision for Britain where women are - and always were - a force of nature. As Kim Willis drifts from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, she yearns for a new set of stories to light her way. Here, she is pulled towards the source of the Severn, hearing whispers of ancient matriarchs: shape-shifting enchantresses, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands. These are no fair maidens, but powerful warrioresses and animalistic beasts, snaking along the edges of watery places where we meet the otherworld in the shadows. As she uncovers the ancient myths hidden in the rugged landscapes of the British Isles, the stories of women like Arianrhod, Melusine and Cerridwen awaken a forgotten power. Journeying from the Severn to Skye, Eryri to Northumberland, Kim discovers new magic in the tales of old, unveiling forgotten truths about grief and healing, while charting a new course through sisterhood and sexuality, fertility and freedom. 'This book is an act of excavation, and an act of remembering.'
Experts in a Dying Field
'Offbeat, ironic, humane and hilarious, Experts in a Dying Field is an earworm you’ll be humming along to for a long time to come.' PAUL MURRAY'A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.’ JOSEPH O'CONNOR‘Just pure joy and pure heartbreak and GENUINE LAUGHS all the way through. I cried a few times too.’ MARINA HYDE---The Heathens thought of themselves as 'the 1000th best band of all time'. Then their tour van crashed, and one of their members died. Twenty years later, weird things are happening in Dublin, bringing the surviving members of the band together in ways none of them could have anticipated and lifting the lid on mysteries from their shared past. Experts in a Dying Field is a gloriously sharp, witty and surprising novel about friendship, secrets, the strange workings of grief and guilt, and the joyful alchemy of music, from a writer with a unique ability to access humour and deep emotion. ---'Hums with life, told with the rigour and brilliance of one of Ireland’s finest minds. As profound as it is hilarious, Freyne’s voice is unmistakable: clever, tender, and original. Read it once, then read it again. Then go to the pub.’ ELAINE FEENEY‘A paean to friendship, forgiveness and the power of music, told with the blend of empathy and wit that is Freyne's trademark. I loved this book’ LOUISE KENNEDY‘Brilliantly captures the chaos and camaraderie of band culture’ SINÉAD GLEESON‘A lovely, tender and funny book, full of empathy and scruffy wisdom’ MARK O'CONNELL‘In essence this novel is a love song to music and all of its transformative magical powers, sung in Freyne's inimitable style. His debut has inherited the beloved DNA of his personal essays but created something entirely new. This is one for the dreamers.’ Irish Times‘Humane, wry, tender, engaging … wants us to forgive ourselves for our unavoidable human f*ckups (which I very much appreciate)’ MARIAN KEYES‘Even when it’s howl-out-loud funny, this is an affectionate book … it’s got real soul.’ IRISH INDEPENDENT‘A brilliant book … very funny, in an understated Irish way, and the humour makes me miss home.’ ANNIE MAC'Kaleidoscopic ... Clever, warm and moving, it’s a remarkable book, thrumming with music and with love.' DOIREANN NÍ GHRÍOFA‘Beautiful, big-hearted, silly and profound' SÉAMAS O'REILLY‘Rich, funny, moving and alive.

Confirms Freyne as a writer who cares deeply about people.’ LISA MCINERNEY‘A sharply funny and tender book. You can hear the music coming off every page. Wonderful.’ JULIA RAESIDE'Sizzles with hope, laughs and the tensions that come from knowing someone in their brighter, younger days and wishing, perhaps, that you've left them there. Nostalgic, darkly funny, and real – perfect for anyone trying to make sense of what it means to have history.'

Ruža v okovách
Stoja na opačných stranách vojny, no v rovnakých okovách
Svet Briony Rosewoodovej sa rozpadne v jedinom krátkom okamihu. Jej hrad podľahne útoku nepriateľských síl Bomardu a porazení Eversunci čelia krutému osudu – otroctvu, väzeniu alebo smrti. Brionin brat, prorokovaný dvojitý dedič, ktorý mal nastoliť mier, je mŕtvy a ona prichádza nielen o slobodu, ale aj o svoju mysľovú mágiu.
Spolu s ďalšími zajatými ženami ju ponúkajú v aukcii ako zdroj mágie pre mocných Bomardov. Ako sestra zosnulého dediča má najvyššiu cenu a vie to aj Toven Hearst. Muž v nástupníckej línii na trón, ku ktorému kedysi cítila zakázanú náklonnosť a ktorý si ju kúpi. Jeho rodina pomohla zničiť všetko, čo Briony milovala. Teraz sú politickými nepriateľmi, zviazaní zajatím, mocou a nebezpečnou minulosťou.
Vo svete ovládanom mágiou, ambíciami a krutosťou musí Briony nájsť spôsob, ako prežiť – a rozhodnúť sa, či nádej a pomoc môžu prísť aj z rúk toho, kto stojí na opačnej strane reťazí.
Smutný tiger
Kniha Smutný tiger je založená na skutočných udalostiach. Neige Sinno mala sedem rokov, keď ju jej nevlastný otec začal sexuálne zneužívať. V devätnástich sa rozhodla prelomiť mlčanie, ktoré je v súvislosti so sexuálnym násilím prítomné vo všetkých kultúrach. To viedlo k verejnému súdu a uväzneniu jej nevlastného otca a autorka začala nový život v Mexiku.
Prostredníctvom fragmentárne vystavaného rozprávania Sinno skúma rôzne podoby pamäti – vlastnej, matkinej aj pamäti svojho násilného nevlastného otca – a tiež samotného zneužívania v celej jeho obludnosti aj banalite. Jej výpoveď je pretkaná úryvkami literárnych diel autorov ako Vladimir Nabokov, Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Christine Angot či Virginie Despentes.
Smutný tiger – názov je inšpirovaný básňou Williama Blaka Tiger – je literárnym skúmaním toho, ako hovoriť o nevysloviteľnom. V tejto výnimočnej knihe sa neustále opakuje jedna zásadná otázka: Ako ochrániť iných pred tým, čím si prešla samotná autorka? Uprostred temnoty zaznieva jasná odpoveď: Hovoriť a klásť otázky.
„Najsilnejšia, najhlbšia kniha o zničení niečieho detstva od dospelej autorky, akú som čítala.“ Annie Ernaux
Neige Sinno je francúzska spisovateľka. Po získaní doktorátu z americkej literatúry a absolvovaní ďalších štúdií v Spojených štátoch a Mexiku sa venovala písaniu a prekladaniu a pôsobila tiež ako externá učiteľka literatúry na univerzite. Za román Smutný tiger získala v roku 2023 Prix Femina a Prix Goncourt des Lyceéns, a to aj v slovenskej verzii tejto ceny, ktorú každoročne udeľujú študenti francúzskeho jazyka.

Rodinné konstelace (2.vyd.)
Systemická psychoterapie slouží k odkrývání skrytých dynamik, které spojují jednotlivce s jeho vlastní rodinou, a pomocí kterých nabízí příležitost k lepšímu poznání vlastní reality i reality ostatních rodinných členů. Zároveň nám ukazuje vhodnější a uspokojivější způsob, jak se jim přizpůsobit. Tyto dynamiky je možné zkoumat pomocí stavění rodinných systémů. Rodinné systémy ukazují, že každá rodina, každé pokolení, má něco jako vlastní svědomí, se kterým je možné vstoupit do kontaktu a získat tak důležité informace o tom, co narušuje rovnováhu hlubokých vztahů, nebo co ji naopak prohlubuje. Dialogy mezi Hellingerem a novinářkou Gabrielou ten Hövel uvádí čtenáře do zákulisí Hellingerova myšlení a práce, vedou ho cestou poznávání a uznání reality. Čtenář si může přímo ověřit Hellingerovy výroky o iluzi lidské moci a výroky týkající se systematických zapletení a svobody, pouta lásky, klamů svědomí, velikosti obyčejných věcí i pokroku dosaženého prostřednictvím viny.
Západ slnka nad čerešňovým sadom
Najvyšší čas, aby smoliarka Beti tancovala podľa svojho vlastného rytmu!
Mladá Walesanka Beti Winterová mala až donedávna v živote jediný cieľ – nájsť si toho pravého chlapa a vydať sa. Na rozdiel od sesternice Olivie jej však plány nevychádzajú, a preto sa cíti menejcenná a neužitočná. Po troch zasnúbeniach, ktoré sa neskončili svadbou, Beti zúfalo túži hodiť všetko za hlavu, odísť z domu a začať odznova. A kde inde by na to mala väčšiu šancu než na slnkom zaliatych vŕškoch južného Španielska?
Kým sa Beti podarí splniť si sen – získať do prenájmu bar na andalúzskom pobreží – musí si naň zarobiť na čerešňovej farme, kde ručne polieva stromy, zberá úrodu a bojuje s večne mrzutým majiteľom farmy Antoniom. Čoskoro pochopí, že tunajší život nie je len o sangrii a sieste. Na povrch vychádzajú staré rodinné krivdy a tajomstvá, ktorým treba čeliť. Mladá žena pod horúcim južanským slnkom zisťuje, že španielsky spôsob života je jej čoraz bližší. A keď sa začne učiť tancovať flamenco, uvedomí si, že tento tanec vášne jej toho dokáže dať oveľa viac. Len sa mu musí oddať celou dušou a načúvať rytmu svojho srdca.

Ahoj, debil
Po trilógii Život Vernona Subutexa sa Virginie Despentes vracia s románom, ktorý pripomína ultrasúčasnú verziu Nebezpečných známostí. Ide o príbeh plný hnevu aj útechy, vzdoru aj prijatia.
V sérii mejlov medzi dvoma ľuďmi, ktorí sa najprv stretnú v prudkej výmene názorov na sociálnych sieťach, sa postupne otvárajú témy starnutia, závislostí, sexuálneho násilia, kultúry rušenia aj osamelosti v digitálnom svete. Z ostrých slov sa pomaly rodí nečakané spojenectvo – rozhovor, ktorý je miestami brutálne úprimný, inokedy nežný a prekvapivo liečivý.
Autorka s iróniou a nekompromisnosťou zachytáva dobu, v ktorej sa verejná debata mení na bojisko.
„Despentes s veľkou spravodlivosťou rozdeľuje empatiu, ktorú dokáže vkladať do svojich postáv, a je nepochybné, že do Rebeccy a Oscara vložila aj veľa zo seba. Ich pohotovosť, zranenia, vzdor aj melanchólia dodávajú románu obdivuhodnú škálu tónov.“
Télérama
„Ahoj, debil pripomína utópiu – predstavu sveta, v ktorom by sme sa mohli k sebe priblížiť bez toho, aby sme zametali pod koberec vlastnú hlúposť a niekdajšiu toxicitu, bez toho, aby sme ju ospravedlňovali či dokonca chápali, ale s vedomím, že ľudia sú zložití: nemožno ich zredukovať na ich zlyhania a nedostatky, ale možno oceniť ich svetlú stránku a zároveň nenávidieť tú temnú. (…) Je to román „post #MeToo“, generačná kniha, ktorá dokonale zachytáva svoju dobu – obsahom aj formou.“
Playlist Society
Virginie Despentes je autorkou trilógie Život Vernona Subutexa, ktorá mala obrovský úspech a Canal+ podľa nej natočil televízny seriál s Romainom Durisom v hlavnej úlohe. Prvý diel získal mnoho ocenení a v roku 2018 sa stal finalistom Man Booker International Prize. V slovenčine vyšla aj jej kniha Teória King Kong.
