Good Anger
A 2025 book of the year - The Independent Includes a bonus chapter on anger and parenting---'A marvellous book ... enhances our understanding of ourselves and others' IRVINE WELSH'Enlightening' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'If you want to figure anger out – then this is for you' – FINANCIAL TIMES--TRANSFORM YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ANGERFeeling ashamed or afraid of anger is a major factor in why many of us suffer with anxiety and depression. Yet when we learn to listen to it properly and act on it wisely, anger becomes a source of remarkable energy and purpose – an emotion that not only protects us but helps improve all areas of our lives, from love to creativity to professional success. In Good Anger, journalist Sam Parker traces his own journey with our most misunderstood emotion, explores how it became a cultural taboo and argues why anger should be the next frontier of the mental health movement. Now with an new chapter on parenting, this provocative, insightful and timely book is for people pleasers and conflict avoiders everywhere.
Son of Nobody
THE READS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN 2026 - TimesBOOKS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN 2026 - Guardian2026 FICTION HIGHLIGHTS - ObserverWHAT TO READ IN 2026 - Financial TimesBOOKS YOU NEED TO READ IN 2026 - BBC CultureTHE MOST HYPED BOOKS WE CAN'T WAIT TO READ IN 2026 - Elle MagazineThe past is never done with: always the song continues Harlow Donne has devoted his life to the Classical world. When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs. In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem The Psoad, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'. As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its modern footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition and grief. In this masterpiece of myth and history, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.

Roman Dragoun. Rockový apoštol
Kniha mapuje životní osudy Romana Dragouna od dětství v Písku přes jeho působení na brněnské rockové scéně až po uvedení do Beatové síně slávy.
Již v mládí projevoval hudební talent, navštěvoval klavírní hodiny a improvizoval, ovlivněn klasikou i rockem. V Brně se připojil v roce 1975 k amatérské Regeneraci, pak v roce 1980 vstoupil do Progres 2, kde nahradil klávesistu Karla Horkého i zpěváka Pavla Váněho; jeho skladba „Muž, který se podobá odvrácené straně měsíce“ z alba Třetí kniha džunglí získala titul Rockové písně roku 1982. V 80. letech 20. století založil s Milošem Morávkem Futurum, v roce 1989 přešel do Stromboli Michala Pavlíčka, hrál Ježíše v Jesus Christ Superstar a spolupracoval s Bárou Basikovou či Zuzanou Michnovou. Sólová alba jako Stín mý krve (1995), Slunci blíž (2000), Otlučená srdce (2009), Piano (2012), Samota (2016) či Roman Dragoun Projekt (2021) spojují rock, jazz a funk s duchovními texty Milana Prince a Dragounova otce. Biografie Roman Dragoun – Rockový apoštol je plná exkluzivních vzpomínek, archivních fotografií a dokumentů, mapuje cestu přes normalizaci, samizdat i demokracii. Odhaluje Dragouna jako věřícího katolíka s pokorou před zázrakem života, ovlivněného rodinou a touhou „čistit srdce hudbou“.
Hudební publicista Petr Gratias za aktivní spolupráce Romana Dragouna a jeho „dvorního“ textaře, básníka Milana Prince, sestavil příběh s často netypickými zápletkami. Nechte se unášet na vlnách rocku a ponořte se do četby.
38 Londres Street
The house at 38 Londres Street in Santiago, Chile, is home to the legacies of two men whose personal stories span continents, nationalities and decades of atrocity: Augusto Pinochet, President of Chile, and Walther Rauff, a Nazi SS officer responsible for the use of gas vans.
In 38 Londres Street, Philippe Sands blends personal memoir, historical detective work and gripping courtroom drama to probe a secret double story of mass murder, one that reveals a shocking link between the horrors of the 1940s with those of our own times. In so doing, he reveals an untold and astonishing tale of the legacy of unchecked criminality and the road to impunity.

Break free from deadline dread and time guilt with this powerful guide on how to regain control of your time and your life – from the New York Times bestselling author of The $100 Startup.
Swamped with endless notifications and growing to-do lists, we all feel the pressure of a culture that prizes being busy over being present. This ‘time anxiety’ isn't just for the overly ambitious – it’s a daily reality for parents juggling work and family, students trying to balance grades and health and anyone feeling the pinch to make every moment count.
In Time Anxiety, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau offers actionable advice, personal anecdotes and philosophical reflections that empower readers to break free from the cycle of time-related stress. Weaving together eye-opening research on time perception, executive function and avoidance, he offers a bold path for redefining our relationship with the clock.
Time Anxiety is the essential guide for anyone looking to escape the constant pressure of doing more and, instead, focus on being more.
Tsundoku
An ode to the quiet joy of collecting more books than we could ever possibly read - and loving them all the same...
Drawing on the evocative Japanese term tsundoku - first coined in the Meiji era to describe the growing stacks of unread books that accumulate around devoted readers - this insightful and warmly humorous book reframes what some might see as clutter or guilt as a deeply meaningful way of living.
From the tactile pleasure of flipping through pages to the quiet ritual of rearranging overflowing shelves, Tsundoku explores the psychology, culture, and poetry behind the irresistible urge to collect and cherish books. It offers meditations on the joy of choosing and buying books, the rebellion against reading lists, creative ways to organise your shelves, foolproof excuses for sneaking in yet another new title, techniques for remembering what you've read, and the guilty - but glorious - pleasure of re-reading.
Above all, this philosophy reminds us that we do not necessarily have to have read all the books we own to love them unconditionally. Feelings of guilt, be gone! Unread books can be even more fascinating because they take us on wonderful journeys, and speak to us regardless, whether we open them or keep them closed. We know that books are a cure for the soul: just touching one, smelling one, or leafing through one makes us feel better immediately.

Keep Your Hair On
Blending science and lived experience, this book offers a compassionate, stigma-busting exploration of body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) - revealing why they happen, why they bother us, and how understanding them may be the key to healing. Keep Your Hair On combines personal experience with scientific inquiry to explore the misunderstood world of hair pulling, skin picking and nail biting. These behaviours are fairly common and can cause a lot of distress, but have been largely neglected by medical science, leaving many to suffer in silence. Neuroscientist Clare Mackay shares her own four-decade struggle with hair pulling, while examining what drives these behaviours and why they can make people feel so bad. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, animal behaviour, dermatology and lived experience, she challenges the stigma and oversimplified assumptions surrounding BFRBs. Mackay offers compassionate insights into why these behaviours develop, why they're so hard to stop, and how shame compounds the struggle. Rather than promoting quick fixes, she encourages understanding over judgement and introduces new avenues for management, including the power of self-compassion. This is not a self-help manual, but it may help - by reframing BFRBs not as signs of personal failure, but as interesting, deeply human behaviours that deserve curiosity, care and connection.

Surreal
Using previously undiscovered material, Surreal tells the riveting story of Gala Dalí,(1894-1982) who broke away from the her cultured but penurious background in pre-Revolutionary Russia to live in Paris with both France''s most famous poet, Paul Éluard, and artist Max Ernst. By the time she met the budding artist Salvador Dali in 1929, Gala was known as the Mother of Surrealism. She rapidly became his mentor and protector, marrying him in 1934 and subsequently engineering their vast fortune. At a time when artists were celebrities, Gala acted as the ambassador of the Surrealist movement, spreading its popularity across the globe. She was the survivor of two world wars, the Russian revolution and the Spanish Civil War, and lived between France, Spain and the U.S. Gala was a heroine whose originality captivated people wherever she went, and her life story has everything : glamour; drama; true love, twisted love; ambition; money; art; defiance and daring,. In this vivid, detailed rendering, Michele Gerber Klein has brought Gala out of the shadows to reveal a charismatic figure who played a pivotal role in the art world, yet has never received the full recognition she deserves.
Maybe I'm Amazed
?A BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK?'BRILLIANT' ADRIAN CHILES'THIS BOOK CONTAINS MAGIC' CAITLIN MORAN'ENTRANCING, HEARTBREAKING, UPLIFTING' MARINA HYDEIn this extraordinary memoir, a father tells the story of how music has opened up the world to his son, one song at a time. Obsessed with music since he was a child, John Harris had no idea that he was in fact preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. But so it transpired. When his son James was born, and three years later diagnosed with autism, music became a source of precious connection and endless wonder for both of them. Maybe I'm Amazed describes how the music of The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse and many more were soon woven into the fabric of James's life, becoming an essential part of who he is. It takes us through the struggles of raising an autistic child in a prejudiced world, and uncovers a hidden history of neurodivergence and creativity that casts new light on why notes, chords and lyrics speak so powerfully to the human mind. Anyone who has fallen in love with a band or heard their life reflected back to them by a song will recognise themselves in the story of this father and his son. And in considering the intense and transcendent way James absorbs and connects with music, it has lessons in listening and living for us all.
Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče
Čarovný papagáj a iné gýče je zbierka ôsmich poviedok. Okrem typických autorových textov sú súčasťou zbierky aj iné zvláštne poviedky. Niektoré akoby tvorili voľné série, ale nie sú radené za sebou. Jednu z týchto sérií tvoria tri veselé nezáväzné poviedky o netalentovanom spisovateľovi Kúcanskom, hrdinovi našich socialistických i postsocialistických čias. V knihe nájdete texty, v ktorých je Vilikovský osobnejší, s ambíciou dopátrať sa zmyslu a citu v situáciách, kde očividne absentujú. V roku 2006 v prvom ročníku ceny Anasoft litera Pavel Vilikovský za túto knihu získal hlavnú cenu.
Spartakiádní vrah
Román Štefana Horáka balancuje na pomezí beletrie a žánru true crime – soustředí se na vnitřní svět dospívajícího chlapce, který se postupně propadá do násilí. Kniha není rekonstrukcí zločinů spartakiádního vraha, ale ponorem do jeho myšlení: do jeho osamění, fantazií, potlačeného hněvu i pokřiveného vnímání reality. Na pozadí normalizační společnosti sleduje, jak se rodí temnota v hlavě člověka, který zůstává pro své okolí zcela neviditelný — až do chvíle, kdy už je příliš pozdě.

Walker Evans
A major reassessment of Walker Evans that shows him as a photographer both of his time and very much ahead of it.
Walker Evans (1903-1975) is one of the great enduring figures of modern photography. His vivid images are inseparable from the history of the medium and the history of the USA. The subject matter was quintessentially American - small-town life, typical buildings, commercial signs and anonymous citizens - but Evans brought to them the curiosity and fascination of an outsider. His exacting eye defined an era while also questioning it. Pop artists and Conceptualists saw Evans as a pioneer and precursor, and his sensibility continues to inspire countless younger image makers.
Walker Evans offers a broad overview of his work and its lasting influence on generations of artists. It brings together key photographs and projects spanning his entire career - from self-portraits of the 1920s to his Polaroid experiments in the 1970s - along with books and other publications that reflect his tireless capacity for observation. Together, the works reveal a creator who not only documented the world around him but also invited viewers to question the nature of photography and the perception of reality itself.
