Maškaráda géniů
Maškarádu géniů, třetí díl Rakouské trilogie, považoval Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando za své vrcholné dílo, souhrn všech zásadních témat, která ho celý tvůrčí život provázela: Erós jako vítěz nad racionalitou a pořádky mužského světa, znejistění muži jako oběti a hračky v rukou neporazitelných ženských protihráček; zpřítomnění řecké a byzantské mytologie, její surrealistické propletení se současnou banalitou a komedií dell´arte, odbourání hranic mezi minulým a současným, mezi mýtem, iluzí a realitou; zobrazení světa jako nestabilního místa a neuspořádané sbírky kuriozit (jež je současně cenností i smetištěm) a člověka v něm jako oběti posedlostí, obsesí a metamorfóz všeho druhu. I tento román končí tragicky jako oba předchozí, a přesto je plný typického hýřivého, skurilního humoru, legračních figurek a nedostižně originálních nápadů.
Dávej na sebe pozor!
V poslední době vycházejí zejména knížky významných horolezeckých osobností, opatřené bohatými fotografiemi. O těch obyčejných "dělnících hor" a milovnících sportovního lezení se však píše jen velmi málo. Ve svých povídkách jsem se snažil přiblížit zážitky méně nápadných lidiček. Proto je věnuji všem posedlým romantikou a dobrodružstvím, kteří sice nedosáhli vrcholných výkonů, ale přesto byli šťastni.
Introdukované dřeviny v českém lesním hospodářství
V souvislosti s klimatickou změnou a s nezbytným záměrem zajistit stabilní a funkční lesní porosty roste zájem odborné lesnické veřejnosti také o využití druhů, které u nás nejsou původní. Rovněž potřeba nahradit stávající monokulturní porosty stabilnějšími vede ke snahám o rozšíření sortimentu dřevin schopných odolat dnešnímu turbulentnímu prostředí. Proto je cílem publikace shrnout disponibilní poznatky o introdukovaných dřevinách využitelných lesnickou praxí. Kromě douglasky, grandisky a dubu červeného jsou analyzovány i dřeviny méně zastoupené. Snahou je poskytnout současný stav poznání ohledně jejich ekologických nároků, možnostech pěstování i vystihnout případná rizika, která jsou s rozšiřováním nových druhů v lesních porostech potenciálně spojena.

The End of the Vodka
A Frida Kahlo painting, a scandal, and secrets that threaten to change the course of historyIn 1938, showgirl-turned-socialite Dorothy Hale falls from a Manhattan skyscraper. Her friend Clare Boothe Luce – writer, diplomat and rising political figure – commissions Frida Kahlo to paint a memorial portrait. Months later, reporting from Europe, Clare encounters the Duchess of Windsor in Paris and begins to question what really happened that night. In New York, Frida, estranged from Diego Rivera, wrestles with betrayal, ambition and the demands of her art. As she works on the painting that will become one of her most unsettling, she edges closer to the truth. At the heart of this novel lies a real-life mystery: was Dorothy Hale’s death an act of despair, or something far more dangerous, entangled with the power struggles shaping the modern world?

Written by Quentin Blake and with beautiful, detailed, humorous illustrations by the award-winning Emma Chichester Clark, Liliana the Strong is the perfect gift for any child who needs a little reminder that everything will be okay.

ALLIE ROUSSEAU VEZETŐ BALERINA, AKI HOZZÁSZOKOTT A NYOMÁSHOZ.
Az anyja árgus tekintete mindenhová követi, a cél pedig mindig ugyanaz: tökéletesség, bármi áron. Amikor egy sérülés miatt veszélybe kerül minden, amiért annyi áldozatot hozott, Allie visszatér a családi nyaralóba, hogy felépüljön. Ott azonban utolérik az emlékek, amiket próbált eltemetni, és félő, hogy magukkal rántják.
Hudson Ellis a parti őrség vízimentőjeként pontosan tudja, hogy pár másodperc bizonytalanság jelentheti a különbséget élet és halál között. Mindig büszke volt rá, hogy jókor van jó helyen, főleg, ha Allie Rousseau-ról van szó… egészen addig az estéig, amikor elindult alapkiképzésre. Élete legnagyobb hibája után a titkai örökre elválasztják a nőtől, akire a következő lélegzeténél is jobban vágyik.
Amikor Hudson unokahúga, aki elkeseredetten keresi a szülőanyját, bekopogtat Allie ajtaján, a lány lehetetlen helyzetbe kerül. Allie és Hudson múltja és jelene végtelenül szövevényes. A fonal, ami annyi évvel azelőtt összekötötte őket, szétfoszlott ugyan, de az igazság újra egymáshoz csatolhatja őket, vagy örökre éket verhet közéjük.
A Negyedik szárny rajongva szeretett szerzőjének új, kortárs romantikus regénye a nyárról, amikor az ünnepelt balett-táncos hazatér, és szembenéz mindazzal, amit maga mögött hagyott: családi titkokkal, mély megbánással és a férfival, akit sosem tudott elfelejteni.

I Feel Your Pain
What if the person you love is the reason you're hurting? Noughts & Crosses meets This Mortal Coil in this gripping dystopia-romance set in a future where pain is transferable but someone always pays the price. Ever since a cataclysmic solar flare struck 150 years ago, Helical Disease has plagued the city of Alta Bay. Those infected endure excruciating pain and a blue light that crackles beneath their skin. There is no cure. However, Dominion Pharmaceuticals has created a revolutionary treatment that transfers the disease to people with unusually high pain thresholds. These Pain Carriers feel little to no pain, and they’re paid generously for their sacrifice. Nova Williams is too focused on surviving to question the system. Castor Fox, heir to the Dominion empire, is proud of his family’s legacy. When a chance road accident throws them together, their connection is undeniable. But as they begin to fall for each other, a devastating truth comes to light: Nova is Castor’s Pain Carrier. As darker secrets about the procedure emerge, Nova and Castor must decide whether to accept a broken world . . . or risk everything to change it.
Recover Me
Getting clean was just the beginning... DJ Fat Tony has lived a thousand lives: celebrated nightlife icon, survivor of decades-long addiction to drugs, alcohol and sex, and a LGBTQ activist who navigated trauma, abuse, and the AIDS epidemic. In Recover Me, Tony charts his journey from the hard graft of addiction to self-acceptance, affirming that recovery is not a destination but an ongoing commitment to accountability. Tony's story is marked by setbacks - dishonesty, victimhood, toxic relationships, and relapses into old behaviours - but also by moments of breakthrough and growth. He learns to navigate the complexities of early recovery, the allure of chaos and drama, and the necessity of honest self-inventory. Mixed with stories that are darkly humorous and oftentimes painful, Tony also gives advice on how to make amends, rebuild family relationships, and develop healthy boundaries, both with others and yourself. Written with expertise from integrative therapist Tara Day, the book offers therapeutic insights and reframes addiction through a trauma-informed, psychological lens to explore the nature of addiction and the lifelong process of healing. This is recovery with all the mess left in. No twelve-step sainthood, no empty promises. Just the truth about what it takes to break cycles, build boundaries, and find your own version of happy ever after - even if you still think you don't deserve it. For anyone battling addiction, shame, or just the weight of their own story, Recover Me shows that recovery doesn't end, but deeper healing is always possible.
The Wise and Their Works
The Wise and Their Works celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Great Exhibition in 2026. The men who inspired the Great Exhibition of 1851 - Henry Cole, Sir Robert Peel and above all Prince Albert himself - were at the centre of an extraordinary combination of manufacturing, commercial skill and political vision which made Victorian Britain an unparalleled success story. In this celebratory book, A. N. Wilson examines the legacy they left behind: their idealistic beliefs about free trade, decency and parliamentary democracy, and their ultimate vision of the human race at peace with prosperity spreading, while poverty and warfare were consigned to history. While their loftier ambitions may not have come to pass, these enterprising men did leave behind a little known but hugely influential organisation, the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, which still supports industry, science and art in the UK. Skillfully delving into this rich and fascinating history, Wilson takes us on a journey into the heart of the progressive Victorian dream, and where it has left us today.

Daggermouth - The Heart Duology 1
He Is Her Ruin. She Is His Rebellion.
The first thing you'll learn in New Found Haven is mercy no longer exists. Showing mercy is a weakness, and weakness will get you killed.
The second thing is this-the Veyra are always watching. From the highest glass atrium in the Heart to the windowless slum dens of the Boundary, no movement goes unseen.
The last lesson is the hardest, but you must remember it.
Love outside of your ring is a death sentence.
The city is carved into rings of privilege and poverty, ruled by the masked elite who will do whatever it takes to hold onto power.
Obedience is demanded. Rebellion is crushed.
Greyson Serel has spent his life caught between two worlds. Publicly, he's the flawless heir to the presidency. Privately, he's entangled in secrets that could topple the regime. But when he's forced into a political marriage meant to bind him tighter to the governments brutal laws, he finds himself shackled to a bride who is as lethal as she is unwilling.
Shadera is a mercenary raised to kill, not to wed. Yet when her bullet misses its mark, survival leaves her bound to the very man she was sent to eliminate. Trapped inside the corrupt heart of the city, she becomes both prisoner and wife, her every step watched, her every move tested.
Their union is no love story-It's a battlefield. As secrets come to light and betrayals fester within the walls of power, Greyson and Shadera must decide between annihilating one another or burning the city to the ground together.
In a world where passion sparks rebellion and loyalty is paid for in blood, their forced bond may be the spark that ignites a revolution. Or the fire that consumes them both.
