Desperate to escape a life of poverty, she crosses the sea to France, chasing the shimmer of a better future.At Château de Bellefalaise, a grand estate with fairytale turrets perched above a sleepy village, Minha's talent is discovered when she detects poison in a dish about to be served to the château's master, Duc Nicolas. For the first time in her life, her strange ability becomes her salvation - and her curse. Appointed the Duc's personal poison-taster, she is confined to her tasting room and forced to live in the chateau's shadows. With each dish, she enters a world of glittering porcelain and gilded secrets, where danger simmers beneath every course...But when she loses her miraculous gift and suspicion coils through the corridors, Minha must confront a terrifying truth: without her gift, who is she - and what remains of the life she's fought so hard to build?Feast is a sumptuous historical novel brimming with intrigue and sensory wonder - a dark fairytale for readers who love Jessie Burton, Elizabeth Macneal and Bridget Collins.

Sun Country
''One of Britain''s most distinctive and trustworthy voices ... A beautiful book'' TIM WINTON''A book to lose yourself inside, and emerge from with enhanced clarity and wisdom'' FRANCES WILSON''Tender and unflinching ... A masterclass in clarity and feeling'' JIM CRACE''Cunnell writes with so much sensitivity to the sacredness of the everyday'' SARA BAUMEA beautifully written, courageous and deeply moving journey from sorrow to acceptance, from loss to hope, shimmering with coastal light and hard-won wisdom.In Sun Country, Howard Cunnell returns to the southern England beachlands of his boyhood after the death of his mother.A love letter to the changing coast and sea, Sun Country is a book alive with light and shadow, where the white spaces between words are as charged with tension and power as the words themselves. It is a reckoning with the things we inherit – silence and absence, stories told and untold – and the transgression involved in turning a life into art. At the heart of the book is Gillian, his devoted single mother, and the small yet unforgettable details of her life that are woven into a powerful meditation on impermanence, grief, class and solitude.At once intimate and expansive, this luminous memoir traces one man’s journey from loss back towards life. Through stories about the writers and painters with whom he feels a kinship – including the English Romantics, W. H. Hudson and Agnes Martin – and the history of his own Sussex working-class family, Cunnell writes his way home to a place, to a culture and to himself as an artist.Cunnell’s descriptive power, so widely praised in his first memoir, reaches a new breathtaking level, with the simplicity that only comes from the finest craft and poetry.
You Don''t Know What You''re Missing
We all like to think we''re making decisions based on reality, but in fact, we''re almost always working from incomplete information. And when ''you don''t know what you don''t know'', it can be impossible to navigate successfully.In You Don''t Know What You''re Missing mathematician Kit Yates explores the blind spots, gaps in our knowledge and how we make sense of the world given we usually have an unfinished picture. From avoiding common traps and pitfalls to filling in the gaps without guessing, it shows us how to turn our misses into hits.
Flirting with Evil
The history of the Catholic Church in the twentieth century is one of spies, scandals and bad political choices. It’s a shadowy, ornate world of cover-ups and hidden motives. In this book, Ambrogio Caiani lifts back the heavy velvet curtains of the chancel and peers behind the locked mahogany doors of the Vatican to reveal the shocking truths that make up a century of Catholic corruption.For many, Catholicism’s flirtation with evil has become impossible to ignore: a pope courting Nazi officials and, horribly, turning a blind eye to the Holocaust; the Vatican becoming embroiled in a series of dodgy financial dealings; the child abuse continuously perpetrated by members of the clergy. Time and time again, Catholic figures have made terrible choices in private and preached in public about goodness and morality.This is the first history that focuses exclusively on Catholicism throughout the twentieth century, sketching not only scandalous stories of corruption but also lively portrayals of Catholicism’s key characters – from a beret-clad communist revolutionary priest to the bizarre morning routine of the pope who followed a daily cold bath with dry unbuttered toast. Caiani, a critical Catholic himself, takes a frank and sceptical look at the trajectory of global Catholicism and wrestles with vital questions about the future of the church. Taking in the wider socio-political contexts of a world at war and the accumulating momentum of social progress, this brilliant history traces the evolution of the Catholic church alongside the development of our modern society right up to the election of Pope Leo XIV in 2025.

'An extraordinary novel! Full of unexpected love, magic, heartbreak and healing' - Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop
The Dread Sorceress Oneira has retired. She's exhausted from fighting the endless wars of kings and queens, and has long accepted that her death is near. Alone at last but for a few uninvited companions - a near-mythical wolf, a goddess's avatar and a feline that embodies magic itself - Oneira realizes that she's bored. On a whim, or perhaps at the behest of fate, she makes an unlikely trip to the most extensive library in existence: the home of her most powerful rival, the sorcerer Stearanos.
When she recklessly steals a book from him, Oneira inadvertently initiates a forbidden correspondence. Taunting notes and clever retorts reveal a connection neither has found - nor could ever find - in any other.
But Oneira soon learns that Stearanos, bound to a vile king, is tasked with waging war on the queen she once served. A relationship with him is far too dangerous to pursue despite their mutual desire - and yet, Oneira can't seem to stay away. A bond with Stearanos could alight the long-extinct flame of life within her . . . or it could destroy her entirely.

Three Revolutions
The gripping, untold story of how six epic journeys launched the three communist revolutions that changed world history forever.
From the streets of Petrograd during the heady autumn of 1917, to Mao's stunning victory in October 1949, and Fidel's triumphant arrival in Havana, in January 1959, the history of the twentieth century was transformed in dramatic and profound ways by the Russian, Chinese, and Cuban revolutions.
In Three Revolutions, the stories of these epoch-defining events are told together for the first time. At the heart of each revolution was an epic journey: Lenin's 1917 return to Russia from exile in Switzerland; Mao's 'Long March' of 1934-35, covering some 6,000 miles across China; and Fidel Castro's return to Cuba in 1956 following his exile in Mexico. Told in tandem with these are the corresponding journeys of three extraordinary journalists - John Reed, Edgar Snow and Herbert L. Matthews - whose electric testimony from the frontlines of each revolution would make a decisive contribution to how these revolutions were understood in the wider world.
Here, in Simon Hall's masterful retelling, these six remarkable journeys are brought vividly to life. Featuring a stellar cast, extraordinary drama and an epic sweep, Three Revolutions raises fundamental questions about the nature of political power, the limits of idealism and the role of the journalist - questions that remain of utmost urgency today.
Nová matematika 1– PZ A
Prvá časť pracovného zošita s prvkami singapurskej metódy matematiky pre žiakov 1. ročníka v prvom cykle základného vzdelávania, ktorý prináša obsah v súlade s novým kurikulom. Cieľom je pochopenie podstaty matematických pojmov cez vizuálne pomôcky a logické myslenie, nie bifľovanie. Kľúčom je metóda, ktorá prechádza od konkrétnych predmetov k obrázkom a až potom k abstraktným číslam. Často sa využíva modelovanie slovných úloh pomocou blokových schém. Táto metóda je úspešná, lebo žiaci lepšie pochopia úlohy a vedia ich aj efektívnejšie riešiť. Pracovné zošity k učebnici Nová MATEMATIKA pre 1. cyklus vzdelávania 1A a 1B sú spracované v podobe pracovných listov podľa kapitol a lekcií v učebnici. Sú štruktúrované tak, aby si žiaci na príkladoch, obrázkových a slovných úlohách precvičili učivo každej kapitoly a lekcie a v závere v rámci opakovania si overili a upevnili svoje vedomosti. Úlohy tematicky často nadväzujú na učebnicu. Aj v pracovných zošitoch je zachovaná metodika singapurskej matematiky pre primárne vzdelávanie. Kladie sa dôraz na dôkladné osvojenie matematických základov a precvičovanie konceptov z učebnice.
The Beat the Pulse the Wave
Life comes at you in waves, sometimes they carry you to new shores, sometimes you risk drowning in the flood. Life is a pulse, a heart pumping the blood of now and the blood memories of the past and of your ancestors. Life is a beat, a dance, a festival where you watch Portishead in a field as the sun sets. Life is the rhythm of all three together, it is the beat, the pulse, the wave that brings you to this moment. Jeremy Dixon pauses to consider and celebrate that which was, that which is and that which could be.

A Bright Cold Day
A pioneering biography of George Orwell told through moments of everyday life
When we think about Orwell, we imagine an angular, moustachioed sceptic crouched over a typewriter, who - between puffs on his cigarette - composes effortless streams of prose, unadorned but explosive. We see a man with 'Important Things to Say' about: the slow creep of authoritarianism; the consequences of all-seeing tech; the fragility of truth.
Much less often do we see him as a person caught up in the business of everyday life. And yet Orwell's work thrums with the quotidian: the smell of boiled cabbage, the chill of an unheated flat in early spring, the rumbling of old pipes.
A Bright Cold Day reveals how the principles that govern us begin in the mundane. From waking and showering to breakfast, work, lunch, the pub, sleep and dreaming, Orwell was never dulled to the routines of living. And in the details of the day, we can understand how power, money, freedom and choice play out, not just for Orwell's literary characters, but for us all.
