Poslední ghetto
Poslední ghetto je srozumitelným, poutavým i bolestným čtením o tom, jak vypadal život vězňů v Terezíně. Každodennost, kterou Hájková čtenáři předkládá, nemá podobu sentimentalizující fotografické momentky. Nejedná se o únik z kruté reality života v ghettu do poslední bašty nezkaleného lidství. Autorka nabízí pohled do mnohovrstevnaté minulosti, jakési minulé přítomnosti, kde je základní charakteristikou lidí i ve velice vypjatých situacích jejich vlastní jednání. Pečlivá práce s obrovským množstvím osobních svědectví a dokumentů tvoří základní kámen úspěchu této knihy. A ačkoli Hájková čtenáři předkládá vrchovatou míru výpovědí, jmen a situací, poměrně hladce sleduje hlavní výkladovou linku. Ukázky vzpomínek nemají povahu pouhého vršení důkazů, pod jejichž tíhou by měl čtenář rezignovat na vlastní uvažování. Přínos Posledního ghetta se ovšem nevyčerpává s novým výkladem historie Terezína. Hájková v knize opakovaně konstatuje, že její práci lze číst i jako ukázku, jak analyzovat vězeňská společenství, či dokonce společnosti v extrémních podmínkách. Dr Anna Hájková je associate professor na britské University of Warwick. Vystudovala dějiny, sociologii a anglistiku na Humboldtově univerzitě v Berlíně a obdržela doktorát na University of Toronto v Kanadě. Rukopis knihy Poslední ghetto byl vyznamenán cenami Herberta Steinera a Irmy Rosenbergové. Hájková publikuje v českých, německých, britských, amerických a izraelských novinách.
Posmrtný život dat
Kniha otevírá otázku, co se děje s našimi digitálními stopami po smrti a jak technologie proměňují samotné chápání konečnosti. Sociální sítě, archivy zpráv i algoritmicky oživované vzpomínky udržují zemřelé v komunikačním prostoru živých a vytvářejí nový stav „posmrtelnosti“. Digitální identity a nástroje umělé inteligence dokonce umožňují simulovat přítomnost těch, kdo již mezi námi nejsou, čímž se stírá tradiční hranice mezi životem a smrtí. Komu patří „digitální ostatky“ a kdo má právo rozhodovat o jejich dalším osudu? Kniha vybízí k veřejné debatě o odpovědnosti platforem i uživatelů za kolektivní digitální dědictví, které po sobě zanecháváme.

Harvest Season
From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver comes the second book in the devilishly steamy Seasons of Carnage trilogy where dark romantic comedy meets thrilling suspense - and where love is ripe for ruin
It's time to reap what you sow.
Cape Carnage is blooming with secrets, and they're ready to harvest. But every time Nolan Rhodes digs one up, another grows in its place. Harper isn't who he thought she was. Arthur might be more sinister than he first thought. And Sheriff Yates? The man is everywhere he turns. When true crime fanatics descend on the town looking for answers about the death of their leader, Nolan finds himself at the centre of a search and rescue operation for missing people he knows are already dead. Cape Carnage teeters on the brink of chaos. And the harder Nolan tries to keep it together, the closer Harper comes to unravelling.
Harper Starling has risked everything to bury her trauma in Cape Carnage. But now that Nolan has unearthed her past, her whole life seems ready to break apart. And who can she trust? The enigmatic man she's falling in love with? He came to kill her. The serial killer mentor she's vowed to protect? He's become an unpredictable menace. The woman in the mirror? She might be the most dangerous of all.
Loyalties are tested. Bonds are bent to a breaking point. And love? That might be the deadliest trap of all.
Harvest Season is a dark romance with mature themes. Please check content warnings at the beginning of the book.
Her Play
Forget polished playbooks and sanitized lessons. This is a business memoir and career journey rooted in lived experience, not theory. It's the raw, unfiltered story of a woman who began as a casino dealer and went on to sell her startup in one of the fastest exits in the industry. What if the greatest gambles are not on the cards, but on the life you dare to build? Karolina Pelc wasn't born into boardrooms. Her story started on the casino floor in post-communist Poland, launching a non-linear career that took her across countries and continents through the global gaming, entertainment, and technology industries — before she founded, scaled, and sold her disruptive startup to FanDuel, the number-one gaming brand in the U.S., in under three years. But Her Play: Make Your Own Luck is not a startup manual or a how-to guide. In this fiercely honest leadership memoir, Karolina plunges readers into the realities of career and chaos, power dynamics and personal pivots, bold decisions, and private reckonings that shaped an unconventional path. From gritty encounters and psychedelic insights to building a career while navigating profound personal challenges, she shares raw stories from high-pressure environments in a male-dominated industry. Before she built and exited her company, Karolina navigated a world of sustained pressure, uncertainty, and scrutiny. From casino floors where every decision was visible to the complex dynamics of international business, gaming, and technology, her career unfolded far from predictable paths. Alongside the visible hustle ran the private battles: doubt after public setbacks, heartbreak behind closed doors, ambition, and the audacity required to keep moving forward when outcomes were anything but guaranteed. As this business memoir and career journey unfolds, Karolina reflects on inherited beliefs, broken assumptions, and the risks she took before knowing whether they would cost her everything. From sailing the globe on cruise ships to taking early leaps into the emerging world of online gaming and tech, Her Play lays bare the experiences that forged her leadership mindset. More than a chronicle of professional milestones, Her Play explores the internal mechanics of risk, confidence, and decision-making under pressure. Drawing on Karolina Pelc's original mindset framework, the book offers a reflective lens on how setbacks can be reframed and how opportunities are often created long before they appear. It is an inspirational leadership memoir about learning to trust your instincts, rewrite the rules on your own terms, and practise the art of engineered serendipity — making your own luck, one bold decision at a time. This book is for readers who:? Are building ambitious careers without a clear or linear map — and feeling the cost of it? Have taken risks that came without guarantees, applause, or safety nets? Are navigating leadership, identity, and pressure at the same time, often in silence? Want insight, not instruction — and lived experience, not templates

Race in Transit
At the turn of the twentieth century, life in Ottoman Syria was upended by European and US colonial and capital expansion. Many people responded by migrating to the United States. In doing so, they stepped into the world of international migration, where they had to navigate overlapping states and migration infrastructures – shipping companies and ticketing agents, health inspectors and border police, universities and kinship networks – that each facilitated, restricted, and policed movement. With this book, Randa Tawil follows the itineraries of the early Syrian diaspora, stitching together migrants' travels across archives from Beirut, Marseille, Liverpool, Manila, Washington, D.C., Michigan, and Texas. She reveals the overlapping and contradicting ways in which race was forged globally in the early twentieth century and its effects on Syrians in the United States. Syrian migrants encountered multiple imperial and national legal regimes during transit, and their varying relationships with different empires set the conditions under which migrants were considered "desirable" or "undesirable" once they reached US borders. Focusing on the experiences of those on the move, Race in Transit makes migrants the agents of a world history that has too often relegated them to the sidelines.

Biológia traumy
Vaše telo si pamätá aj to, čo sa myseľ snaží zabudnúť
O duševnom zdraví dnes vieme viac než kedykoľvek predtým, no tradičná medicína sa zameriava iba na myseľ a rieši následky, nie príčinu. Ak sa chceme naozaj uzdraviť, potrebujeme pochopiť traumu ako proces, ktorý sa odohráva v tele. Pretože trauma nie je spomienka. Je to stav, v ktorom telo zostáva.
Doktorka Aimie Apigian prináša prístup, ktorý prepája telo a myseľ, a ukazuje nám, ako telo spracúva záťažové skúsenosti a ako ich ukladá až na bunkovej úrovni. Zároveň ponúka zrozumiteľný návod na rozpoznanie skrytých prejavov traumy a ako v spolupráci s nervovým systémom nájsť bezpečnú cestu k regenerácii.
Táto kniha je povinné čítanie pre laikov, ktorí hľadajú cestu k vnútornej rovnováhe, aj pre odborníkov, ktorí chcú prehĺbiť svoju prax.

Bezohľadní ľudia
V zákulisí technologického gigantu Facebook sa odohráva príbeh, ktorý je šokujúci, miestami temne vtipný a až znepokojivo skutočný. Vitajte vo svete, kde má moc globálny dosah a kde následky často prichádzajú príliš neskoro. Kniha Bezohľadní ľudia od Sarah Wynn-Williams ponúka prenikavý pohľad do sveta spoločností Facebook a Meta, kde sa rozhoduje rýchlo, pod tlakom a často bez ohľadu na to, čo to spôsobí. Autorka čerpá z vlastných skúseností a s pozoruhodnou otvorenosťou odhaľuje, ako funguje prostredie, v ktorom sa stretávajú ambície, vplyv a ľudské slabosti.
V pútavom a často absurdnom rozprávaní sa stretáva s osobnosťami ako Mark Zuckerberg a odhaľuje, čo sa skutočne deje medzi globálnymi elitami a ako to ovplyvňuje nás všetkých. Nie je to len príbeh o veľkých rozhodnutiach, ale aj o drobných zlyhaniach, ktoré sa postupne nabaľujú a nadobúdajú nečakané rozmery. Kniha Bezohľadní ľudia je úprimnou, strhujúcou výpoveďou o moci, technológiách a svete, ktorý sa mení rýchlejšie, než ho dokážeme pochopiť. Zároveň prináša výzvu zamyslieť sa nad tým, čo znamená niesť zodpovednosť v dnešnom prepojenom svete.

Phantom - Fantom
1944. november 12.
Ez a ház egy életen át fogva tartja a lelkeket. Azt hittem, a lelkemet a férjemnek adtam, amikor esküt tettem, hogy az idők végezetéig szeretem majd.
De hazudtam.
Semmi sem készített fel arra a napra, amikor a fantomom megjelent az ablakom előtt. Ijesztő volt, mégis hipnotizáló, és tagadni sem tudtam, mennyire izgat.
Sosem akartam viharos szerelembe bonyolódni a rajongómmal. Főként nem azért, mert ennél sokkal több.
Egy bűnöző.
Egy gengszter.
Egy férfi, aki vigasztalást nyújt a Parsons Manor szörnyeteg ura után.
Olyan sok rém kísért ezekben a termekben, én mégis csak a férjemtől rettegek.

De Landon felfedezi, hogy Mia a kemény páncélja mögött is olyasmivel birkózik, ami túl borzalmas ahhoz, hogy hangosan kimondja.
Mia nem képes lerázni Landont, és közben egyre jobban ragaszkodik hozzá annak ellenére, hogy a fiú látszólag folyton képes kihozni őt a sodrából, és a pszichotikus hajlamai mindig egy határon túlra hajszolják.
És ahogy Landon mind közelebb kerül a Mia múltjában rejlő igazsághoz, már a fenyegető veszély sincs messze.
Mia megtanult bízni Landonban, de a fiú vajon megvédi-e vagy tönkreteszi?
