Mrs. Orwell
The end of the world is at hand. The Roaring Twenties are over, fascist forces are on the rise across Europe, and the dream of a workers’ paradise is all but dead. But in the midst of these turbulent times, a turbulent love story unfolds - one that would forever reshape our perception of totalitarianism. Mrs. Orwell follows poet Eileen Blair and her husband, George Orwell, as they forge the professional and romantic partnership that would eventually bring us Animal Farm and 1984. From a honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War, to a narrow escape from Stalin’s agents and an even narrower escape from the London blitz, the Blairs’ campaign against fascism would bring them face-to-face with some of the greatest threats of the 1930s. But while Orwell struggles to make his voice heard against the pressures of political censorship, Eileen must fight to preserve her own voice within a marriage that threatened to consume her. This sweeping account of Eileen Blair’s brief but dazzling life casts new light on a long-overlooked figure, and her persistent defense of that most beloved, most vulnerable principle: the power of the pen.

She Drinks the Light
Addae has spent her whole life on the Golden Isle, a private island off the coast of South Carolina that has been in her family for centuries. Island residents don’t really fraternise with mainlanders, and for good reason. Golden Isle was founded by the Kinfolk, descendants - including Addae and her Nana Ama, the island matriarch - of escaped enslaved Black people. But the Isle and the Kinfolk have secrets that must be protected from the outside world. Secrets of spirituality, mythology that are deeply rooted in their West African culture, beliefs, and traditions. The Kin are bound to protect the Golden Isle, and, in turn, it protects them. When Addae’s best friend Naria goes missing and one of the Kin turns up drained of blood, Addae's way of life is threatened. It looks like the work of the Adze, West African supernatural beings that drink human blood in order to survive - also known as vampires. Believing Naira is alive, Addae travels to the mainland. But as Addae gets closer to finding Naria, she uncovers deep secrets about Nana Ama’s past, and about her own… secrets that could change how she feels about the Golden Isle and her lineage. Torn between two worlds, Addae will have to decide how far she is willing to go - and who she is willing to cross - to save her best friend, and even herself.
Dance of Oneness
Most of us live in our heads and miss out on experiencing our bodies as a portal to the present moment and true happiness. In this guide, Banafsheh Sayyad offers a transformative healing path to reconnect with yourself as a being of love, ground your spirituality in your body, and embrace ease, joy, and freedom. This work isn’t about professional dance techniques. Instead, Sayyad shares how dance can help you honour the body as the physical expression of the soul: miraculous, wise, and full of wonder. Through her healing modality, Dance of Oneness - a fusion of Taoist, Sufi, and Divine Feminine wisdom with flamenco, tai chi, Persian dance, and Sufi whirling - Sayyad guides you to release blockages, activate your light body, and rediscover your vitality and purpose. For the first time in a book, readers are initiated into whirling as a portal to higher dimensions and profound transformation. “Dance of Oneness invites you to live your life as a dance that brings you into unity with all, through embodied love,” offers Sayyad. “True embodiment is about experiencing yourself as a channel of light to help heal the earth.” With wisdom teachings, embodiment practices, insights from Rumi’s inspirational poetry, and Sayyad’s own story out of Iran and into the freedom that dance spirituality gave her, Dance of Oneness invites you to open to the flow of love and embrace a soul-filled life.

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.

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.
All the Water in the World
All the Water in the World is told in the voice of a girl gifted with a deep feeling for water. In the years after the glaciers melt, Nonie, her older sister and her parents and their researcher friends have stayed behind in an almost deserted New York City, creating a settlement on the roof of the American Museum of Natural History. The rule: Take from the exhibits only in dire need. They hunt and grow their food in Central Park as they work to save the collections of human history and science. When a superstorm breaches the city’s flood walls, Nonie and her family must escape north on the Hudson. They carry with them a book that holds their records of the lost collections. Racing on the swollen river towards what may be safety, they encounter communities that have adapted in very different and sometimes frightening ways to the new reality. But they are determined to find a way to make a new world that honours all they've saved. Inspired by the stories of the curators in Iraq and Leningrad who worked to protect their collections from war, All the Water in the World is both a meditation on what we save from collapse and an adventure story—with danger, storms, and a fight for survival. In the spirit of Parable of the Sower, this wild journey offers the hope that what matters most – love and work, community, and knowledge – will survive.
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!
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
A Bletchley rejtjelek
Ne feledje, hogy köti önt a hivatali titoktartásról szóló törvény...
1940 nyara.
A tizenkilenc éves Jakob Novis és különc kishúga, Lizzie szeretik a rejtvényeket és a fejtörőket. És most ilyen megoldandó rejtélyek között élnek. Az egymással kissé hadilábon álló testvérpár a második világháború egyik legnagyobb titkának, „Nagy-Britannia különös kódfejtő gyárának” közepén találja magát, a Bletchley Parkban. Amíg Jakob csatlakozik Bletchley legnagyobb kódfejtő elméihez, hogy feltörje a náci hadsereg rejtjeleit, a tizennégy éves Lizzie saját küldetésre indul, hogy feltárja anyjuk titokzatos eltűnésének nyomait. Dúl az angliai csata, és Hitler inváziója egyre közelebb ér. Zavarba ejtő üzenetek és kódok érkeznek, és egy fenyegető felügyelő is ólálkodik a Bletchley-kastély kapuja előtt. Vajon az üzenetek valóban nekik szólnak, vagy mindez csapda? Vajon az Enigma-gép és anyjuk eltűnése összefügghet?
Jakobnak és Lizzie-nek meg kell találnia a módját, hogy együtt dolgozzanak, miközben egymással versenyezve igyekeznek megfejteni a nyomokat. És meg kell oldaniuk azt a másik megdöbbentő rejtvényt is, amely a legnagyobb kihívást jelentheti: meddig kell megőrizni egy titkot?
