Voyagers
With the imaginative soul and propulsive storytelling of Station Eleven and The Ministry of Time, Voyagers is a profoundly human, thrillingly original and brilliantly ambitious literary debut about friendship at the end of the world. If the world was about to end, who would you want by your side? When the Signal – a mysterious transmission pulsing from the edge of the solar system – arrives, the world changes overnight. Planes are grounded, satellites fail, humanity holds its breath. And Alex realises there’s no one he’d rather be with at the potential apocalypse than Ana. Because when they were six years old, Ana and Alex were abducted by aliens. Or at least, that’s what they told the rescuers who found them after their 36 hours missing in Palm Springs, and the story they stuck to as they became minor child stars. Now, as the Signal grows louder and the world devolves into chaos, the two race to meet each other for one final reckoning. VOYAGERS is a novel about friendship and family, celebrity and conspiracy, memory and mystery. It explores what it means to live by one story before, at last, having the courage to tell a different one. 'In Voyagers, Meg Charlton explores the connections between memory, storytelling, and truth. Against the backdrop of a global crisis, her characters contend with the lasting pain and confusion of a personal crisis. This novel grapples with the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but even more so with the possibility of friendship that is generous and forgiving. A delightful and moving debut' Helen Phillips, author of Hum and The Need 'Voyagers is a tender sweeping epic about the quest for the self. Meg Charlton asks, in elegant and compelling prose: 'Can we escape the terrible events of our past or make of them what we will? And what happens to intimacy when we share a past but remember it differently?'. At its heart, Voyagers is a story about storytelling – how it tears us apart and might bring us back together again' Taymour Soomro, author of Other Names for Love

Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt
For fans of Fredrik Backman, Virginia Evans and Lisa Ridzén, an astonishing, deeply moving novel about finding beauty in the brevity of life, as narrated by the one who knows it best: Death. 'This book will change your life' Joanna Cannon'One of the most moving books I've read in a long while' Graeme Simsion'The ending left me speechless' Matthew QuickTravis lives an unassuming life with his cat in a small English town. Travis also happens to be the cosmic force of Death, visiting people in their final days and hours of life, before shepherding them into whatever happens next. He listens to their stories, doesn't judge, and never tries to change anyone's fate... until he meets a young, single midwife called Dalia and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter, Layla.

The Sound of Many Waters
Join Robin Crawford on a personal journey from the source of the River Tay to the sea. With the widest catchment area of any river in Britain, the Tay drains much of the lower Highlands of Scotland. A vast network of lochs and smaller bodies of water feed the Isla, Garry, Tummel, Almond and Earn, which all flow into this mighty river. As Robin Crawford walks along the banks of the Tay, we delve into the history of this landscape and his personal connection with it, from hill walks with friends into the mountains of the Tay’s source to his student days in Dundee, where the Tay eventually spills out into the North Sea. Along the route we dip into the river’s story: the gold-panners on the river Cononish, the Earthquake House outside Comrie, Beatrix Potter’s holiday home near Dunkeld. Throughout, the river is our constant companion, connecting the small moments on which events turn and lives are changed forever.

10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny
Všetci robíme chyby, no len málokto svojím prešľapom zmení chod dejín. Kniha 10 omylov, ktoré zmenili dejiny prináša vtipný a osviežujúci výber neúmyselných pochybení, ktorým sa to podarilo – raz to bol rozchod, čo pochoval impérium, inokedy spánok poslal ku dnu pýchu lodiarstva.
Britský historik a komik Paul Coulter si posvietil na kľúčové postavy a udalosti posledných dvoch tisícročí. Za nablýskanou fasádou moci a egom božských rozmerov – či išlo o fascinujúcu Kleopatru, alebo o tragédiu Titanicu – sa totiž často skrývali až príliš obyčajné ľudské zlyhania.
Zabudnite na nudné učebnice. Prichádza dejepis, ktorý vás bude baviť: hitparáda katastrofálnych rozhodnutí, pomýleného hrdinstva a totálnej straty súdnosti. Autor rozpráva príbehy, ktoré formovali náš svet a mali priam neuveriteľné následky. Napokon, človeku sa hneď lepšie zaspáva s vedomím, že nech už dnes pokazil hocičo, najväčšie postavy histórie to dokázali zbabrať ešte oveľa ukážkovejšie.

Tropické Bavorsko
Po nacistickom lekárovi Josefovi Mengelem sa po skončení druhej svetovej vojny zľahla zem. Jeho domovom sa stal štát So Paulo, kde sa obklopil po nemecky hovoriacimi európskymi imigrantmi, ktorí mu ochotne pomáhali až do smrti. Bola medzi nimi aj učiteľka v nemeckej škole Liselotte Bossert. Jej žiačka a autorka tejto knihy Betina Anton sa po mnohých rokoch, už ako úspešná novinárka, rozhodla preskúmať, ako sa najhľadanejšiemu nacistovi na svete darilo dlhé roky unikať pred spravodlivosťou.
Zkrocení mlsného muže, 2. vydání
Jakub je lékař, velký gurmán a požitkář, ale také hrozný smolař. Jeho relativně poklidný a obyčejný život narušují desítky drobných katastrof, které jsou příčinou řady komických situací. Navzdory své nešikovnosti a smůle se ale hlavní hrdina se všemi potížemi vyrovnává s osobitým humorem – ať už jde o nedobrovolné snahy o hubnutí, výlet do lázní, nepovedený zálet na pracovní cestě, či netradiční zážitky s psím členem rodiny. I přes lehký žánr nabízí kniha prostor pro krátké zamyšlení nad smyslem života.
Notebooks for the Grandchildren
Notebooks for the Grandchildren is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to understand what went wrong after the great Russian Revolution of 1917. Through the eyes of young Ukrainians like himself, who came of age fighting for the Revolution but were murdered in the late 1930s, Mikhail Baitalsky recounts the Revolution’s hopes—and its tragic unraveling under Stalin. He narrates how Stalin rose to power and carried out the “political counterrevolution” that silenced so many. Arrested three times by the Stalin regime, Baitalsky survived to tell the story of what happened.
Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction
The first book-length examination of the theses developed by Louis Althusser and his collaborators on the processes of class-based educational formation and the function of schools. Drawing largely on unpublished writings that have been overlooked by scholars of both Althusser and critical pedagogy, Knowledge, Ideology, Reproduction reveals that, for Althusser and the Groupe Spinoza, educational formation and the position of knowledge are central, decisive issues in understanding the real forces driving the mechanisms of social reproduction. This perspective enables a critical interrogation of knowledge transmission and opens up new possibilities for transformative educational practices.

Red Flags
Red Flags is a visual field guide to modern behaviour — part satire, part mirror, and part survival manual. Created by Belgian designer and visual storyteller Bart Kiggen, the book unpacks the characters, archetypes, and micro-cultures that shape our digital and emotional lives. From the Ghoster to the Apex Pretender, from the Brand Messiah to the Yuppie Mephistopheles, each red flag is drawn, described, and decoded with wit and precision. Blending staged photography, cultural critique, and design, Red Flags turns online performance into visual anthropology. It examines how attention became identity and how charisma, care, or confidence can all tip into manipulation. Each portrait is both absurd and familiar, reminding us that the red flags we recognise in others often reflect our own. In this carefully composed and conceptually sharp book, Bart Kiggen uses imagery, humour, and typography to explore the psychology of the age of exposure. Red Flags invites readers to look closer, laugh more softly, and perhaps notice a few signals in themselves before it’s too late.
