Her novels will shine a light for readers and writers for generations to come'' - Tayari Jones, author of AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE''Naylor''s skill in weaving together culture, heartbreak, joy, magic, terror, laughter, pain, and love-which is to say, life-is extraordinary. There is something both mundane and cosmic about her writing that captures the human condition in a way that perhaps no other writer did or will'' - Robert Jones, Jr., author of THE PROPHETSNaylor has produced an ambitious novel that aspires to be nothing less than a contemporary reading of Dante''s ''Inferno'' ...One is quickly beguiled ... so gracefully does Naylor fuse together the epic and the naturalistic, the magical and the real - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Hororové rande
Najhoršie rande v živote môže byť tým najdôležitejším.
Raphael je nevyliečiteľne chorý a má jediné želanie – ešte raz sa zaľúbiť. Zaregistruje sa na zoznamku pre ľudí v poslednej etape života, a keď spozná Nalu, zdá sa, že medzi nimi preskočí iskra. Lenže v deň ich prvého stretnutia sa Raphaelov stav prudko zhorší, a tak pošle na rande namiesto seba svojho najlepšieho priateľa Juliusa.
Julius je zdravý športovec a o pár dní sa žení, no napriek tomu súhlasí a ocitá sa v úlohe, na ktorú nie je pripravený. Zámena identít spustí sériu komických, trápnych i prekvapivo dojímavých situácií.
Hororové rande je príbehom o láske, priateľstve, strachu zo straty a o tom, ako nás blízkosť smrti núti klásť tie najdôležitejšie otázky. Sebastian Fitzek tentoraz namiesto napätia stavia na humore, empatii a prekvapivo veľkej dávke ľudskosti – a dokazuje, že vie rozprávať rovnako pútavo aj bez trilerových zvratov.

Odysea
Trója padla. Vojna sa skončila. No pre Odysea sa ten najťažší boj ešte len začína.
Itačský kráľ túži len po jedinom – vrátiť sa domov k vernej Penelope a synovi Telemachovi. Keď si však znepriatelí boha morí Poseidóna, jeho cesta domov sa zmení na desaťročnú púť plnú skúšok. Odyseus čelí kyklopom, sirénam, čarodejnici Kirké, príšernej Skylle i zvodnej Kalypsó. Každá zastávka preverí jeho odvahu, dôvtip aj charakter.
Stephen Fry v závere svojej úspešnej série o gréckych mýtoch prináša podmanivé, inteligentné a vtipné prerozprávanie jedného z najväčších príbehov všetkých čias. Ctí Homéra, no zároveň mu dáva moderný rytmus a nadhľad.
Odysea je veľkolepým rozprávaním o túžbe po domove, o láske a vytrvalosti – a o tom, čo v skutočnosti znamená byť hrdinom.
Divoké temné pobrežie
Dominic Salt a jeho tri deti sú správcami Shearwateru – malého ostrova neďaleko Antarktídy, ktorý ukrýva najväčšiu banku semien na svete. Kedysi pulzujúce výskumné centrum je dnes pre stúpajúcu hladinu oceánov takmer opustené.
Počas najhoršej búrky, akú kedy ostrov zažil, vyplaví more na breh neznámu ženu. Volá sa Rowan. Je zranená, vyčerpaná a o svojej minulosti takmer nehovorí. Rodina Saltovcov ju postupne prijíma medzi seba a zdá sa, že by mohla byť tým, čo im v izolácii chýbalo.
Lenže Rowan skrýva dôvod, prečo sa na ostrov vydala. A keď objaví sabotované rádiové spojenie a čerstvo vykopaný hrob, pochopí, že tajomstvá nemá len ona. Ako sa búrky stupňujú a ostrov sa mení na pascu, všetci stoja pred rozhodnutím, či si navzájom dokážu dôverovať natoľko, aby ochránili nielen vzácne semená, ale aj jeden druhého.
Divoké temné pobrežie je podmanivý román o strate, dôvere a láske v čase klimatickej hrozby. Psychologicky napätý a lyricky krásny príbeh o neprijateľných voľbách, ktoré robíme, aby sme ochránili tých, ktorých milujeme, aj keď sa svet okolo nás pomaly rozpadá.
Radičová
Kto je Iveta Radičová, keď stojí mimo kamier a objektívov fotoaparátov? Kedy a prečo si postavila obranný múr a nasadila masku chladného odstupu i nekompromisnej tvrdosti? Kým je v skutočnosti žena, ktorú označili za „politickú mŕtvolu“ a ona v prezidentských prieskumoch porazila aj Roberta Fica? Prečo sa napriek tomu nestala prvou ženou na poste hlavy štátu a skončila vo vysokej politike? Čo považuje za rodinné striebro a kedy recituje Ferlinghettiho? Prečo sa nedokáže zastaviť, keď hovorí o deťoch a sociálnej politike?
To je iba niekoľko otázok, na ktoré hľadá odpoveď prvý beletrizovaný životopis Ivety Radičovej. Kniha RADIČOVÁ však nie je tradičnou biografiou mapujúcou príbeh prvej slovenskej premiérky a profesorky sociológie. Je to skôr osobný rozhovor Ivety Radičovej s Petrom Bárdym, ktorý nám ukazuje nielen jej silu a integritu, ale aj citlivosť a zraniteľnosť.
Šéfredaktor Aktuality.sk strávil s Ivetou Radičovou desiatky hodín v osobných rozhovoroch aj vášnivých diskusiách, aby prenikol za roky budovaný obranný múr. Nezaujímala ho „iba“ Radičová – premiérka, ktorá sa pokúsila zmeniť slovenskú politiku formovanú takmer výlučne mužmi.
Chcel vedieť, aké bolo jej detstvo a dospievanie v totalite aj rodinný život so Stanom Radičom a vyrovnávanie sa (nielen) s jeho náhlym odchodom. Ako prežívala 80. roky v znormalizovanom Československu, november 1989 i turbulentné roky budovania slovenskej demokracie. Prečo chcela hrať čistú hru nielen v živote, ale aj v politike. Ako sa popasovala s pádom vlády aj odchodom z vysokej politiky. Či by vedela byť populistkou ako Fico, ak by to znamenalo koniec „našich ľudí“ v politike?
„Ten môj život, ktorý bude na pár strán... To je zvláštny pocit. Polovicu z neho som prežila v totalite a polovicu v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Nepoviem, že v slobode. Radšej zopakujem, že v snahe pomôcť, aby tu bola sloboda. Bohužiaľ, nie sú tri polovice, čo mi je veľmi ľúto, lebo by som tú tretiu ešte potrebovala. Ale nemám ju,“ priznáva ústredná postava 280-stranovej knihy RADIČOVÁ.
Žena, ktorá odmietala robiť politiku v štýle ja tebe, ty mne a verila v silu argumentov a rozumu. Aj za cenu demisie a odchodu z politickej scény, nie však z verejného života, v ktorom je dodnes prítomná. Lebo Iveta Radičová nedokáže mlčať – slobodu i autenticitu má zapísanú v DNA. So všetkými plusmi aj mínusmi, ktoré to so sebou prináša. Aj vďaka tomu prelomila slovenské tabu, že na úrade vlády môžu sedieť len alfasamci, chladnokrvní stratégovia či populistickí krikľúni. A začala kliesniť cestu, v ktorej mohla o dekádu neskôr úspešne pokračovať i Zuzana Čaputová.
Bonusom prvej biografie slovenskej premiérky sú fotografie zo súkromného archívu Ivety Radičovej, ktoré ilustrujú silné momenty z jej detstva, dospievania, manželstva, politického aj akademického života. O unikátnu grafickú podobu obálky a zalomenie vnútra sa postarali grafická dizajnérka a výtvarníčka Mikina Dimunová a grafik Pavel Kordoš. Autorom titulného portrétu je fotograf Branislav Wáclav.

Buďte boží v angličtině
Naučit se anglicky nemusí bolet, pokud máte po ruce ty správné historky. Tato kniha vás provede padesáti dvěma týdny v roce skrze ty nejlepší (i ty nejstydlivější) zážitky z mého života. Místo biflování slovíček se je naučíte přirozeně z kontextu mých chyb a vítězství, zatímco legendární Květoš vám v každé kapitole lidsky vysvětlí gramatické háčky. Je to jízda plná upřímnosti, uvolněného jazyka a humoru, který se nebojí jít občas trochu přes čáru. Zjistěte, že nejlépe se cizí jazyk učí tehdy, když se u toho královsky bavíte a přestanete se brát vážně.
Zlatý syn
Druhý díl bestsellerové sci-fi ságy o pomstě a boji za svobodu na Marsu br br Darrow je Rudý, člen nejnižší kasty horníků a námezdních dělníků. Mládí strávil těžkou dřinou v heliovém dole hluboko pod povrchem Marsu, v domnění, že planetu připravuje pro kolonizaci těžce zkoušeného pozemského lidstva. Celý jeho život byl však jedna velká lež. Barevně roztříděná Společnost, které sloužil, je ve skutečnosti jen nesmírnou otrokářskou hierarchií s krutou a bezohlednou kastou Zlatých v čele. br br Darrow s pomocí povstaleckého hnutí infiltruje marsovský Institut, kde Společnost vychovává Nejvyšší zjizvené, vládnoucí vrstvu Zlatých, elitu elity. V průběhu „studia“, které je spíše bezohledným bojem o přežití všech proti všem, se vypracuje na nejlepšího studenta, a získá tak patronát rodu Augustů v čele s arciguvernérem Marsu Neronem. Mužem, který nechal pověsit jeho milovanou ženu Eo. br br Darrow ve službách bezohledného vládce rudé planety plánuje pomstu. Časem se však začíná všechno komplikovat a Darrow v dravčím světě Zlatých nachází přátelství, respekt, a dokonce lásku. Ví, že ho čeká válka, která změní osud lidstva, a že si bude muset vybrat — buď nanejvýš lidskou touhu po pomstě a krvavé revoluci, nebo Eoino poselství lásky a naděje pro všechny.

Čas predátorov
Giuliano da Empoli v tejto provokatívnej knihe prináša strhujúce a miestami až mrazivé svedectvo o svete súčasnej moci. Po úspechu románu Kremeľský mág sa opäť vydáva do zákulisia globálnej politiky – od New Yorku po Rijád, od OSN až po luxusný hotel Ritz-Carlton Mohammeda bin Salmána.
Na svojej ceste sleduje novú generáciu vládcov sveta: autokratov, ktorí sa neštítia chaosu, technologických magnátov, ktorí akoby už žili v inom svete, aj silu umelej inteligencie, ktorá sa čoraz viac vymyká kontrole.
S Machiavelliho jasnozrivosťou a nadhľadom moralistu autor skúma okamih, keď sa starý poriadok rúca a rodí sa nový – tvrdší, nepredvídateľnejší a často nebezpečnejší.
Nastal čas predátorov.
