Castro
Castro: A Biography by Consent offers the most comprehensive and in-depth life history of one of the most iconic and controversial revolutionary leaders of the modern world. Respected by some, despised by others, Fidel Castro was a force to reckon with. Claudia Furiati spent nine years of intensive research unraveling and chronicling his story through seven decades of Cuban history. Castro granted Furiati his consent to write this biography and gave his assurance that he would not read it until the book was completed and published. He allowed her access to his personal (confidential and secret) archives and official files. Through these and multiple interviews with Castro’s friends and enemies alike, Furiati fills in gaps missing from other biographies and provides, through extensive narrative and photos, a powerful portrayal of this charismatic yet enigmatic head of state.

Bad Kid
‘When I was thirteen I was sent away... Maybe dragged away is a better way to put it.’ A powerful and unflinching graphic memoir about what really happens inside America’s secretive ‘troubled teen’ correctional facilities – told from the inside with raw honesty and dark humour. Bad Kid tells the story of Sofia’s turbulent teenhood, including her experience of being taken away (‘kidnapped’) to a residential treatment centre aimed at ‘troubled teens’. Wise, funny and heartbreaking all at once, it presents – in a series of flashbacks – the unforgettable portrait of life in a US 'teenage boot camp' and offers YA readers a glimpse into the harmful effects that labels can have on us. Powerfully told in black and white comic strips accented with vivid pops of red, Bad Kid is the coming-of-age story of Sofia’s late childhood, and how her once-happy relationship with her mother sours irreparably when she marries Sofia’s stepfather. It follows her early teenage rebellion years in which she meets Marigold – ‘AKA the coolest girl I’d ever met’ – and together they set about finding themselves through the traditional teen pursuits of rule breaking, smoking, dodgy hook ups and bright red booty shorts . . . until the day when she is bundled into a car by total strangers and driven 400 miles to a teenage correction camp based deep in the woodlands of Virginia, US . . . This powerful and challenging memoir covers themes and ideas that are universal to teenagers everywhere – being misunderstood, mis-labelled and rejected, and speaks to relationship and mental health issues experienced by teens today. A striking coming-of-age story for YA and adult readers alike, Bad Kid reminds us that no one is beyond redemption – and that reclaiming your story can be the most powerful act of all.
Wearing The Lion
God. Hero. Idol. Monster. Murderer. The story of Hercules is one of the most famous ever told. But what if it's wrong? Locus and Nebula Award-winning author John Wiswell brings his gentle, human storytelling to the most infamous of stories and discovers the heart inside us all. Furious with Zeus for once again siring a child with a mortal woman, Hera finds herself redirecting all her fury at the baby himself, Heracles, an innocent named in her honour. As Heracles grows into a man - an unfathomably strong, loving man - he thanks Hera for all the blessings he feels she's seen fit to bestow upon him. In a moment of misdirected rage, however, Hera sends a fury to kill Heracles' family. Heracles sets out on an epic quest to discover the name of the god who set their murders in motion. Desperate to keep him busy until she can come up with a solution, Hera sets Heracles a series of tests, as impossible as they are deadly: the Nemean lion, the hydra, the Stymphalian birds, the Aegean stables . . . But Heracles' innate kindness, along with his determination to discover the identity of the god who cost him everything he loves, carries him through each task. As his legend grows, so does Hera's desperation. A novel of friendship, of found family, of kindness and of legend, this is the story of Hercules as it has never been told before.

The Descent
An extraordinary first-hand account of Russia’s descent into totalitarianism, paranoia and madness.Marc Bennetts, foreign correspondent for The Times and The Sunday Times, moved to Russia in the chaotic yet free final years of President Yeltsin''s rule. Twenty-five years later, The Times pulled him out of Russia over concerns for his security following his arrest in Moscow at a protest against the war in Ukraine. From the “wild” 1990s in Moscow to narrowly escaping death under fire in Ukraine, The Descent is a unique and personal diary of how Russia spiraled into violent insanity. Bennetts witnessed the often-terrifying events in Russia up close, observing how the Kremlin''s ubiquitous propaganda warped minds and fomented hatred of Putin''s foes, both real and imagined, even among people close to him. After leaving Russia, he travelled in war-torn Ukraine, where he came face-to-face with the appalling consequences of this madness. Bennetts meets a vast array of characters, from Russian politicians, influential Russian Orthodox Church officials and aggressive Kremlin activists to opposition figures and a Siberian shaman who tried to “exorcise” Putin, as well as Russians who took up arms to fight Moscow''s invading forces. In this extraordinary panorama, Marc Bennetts shows in frightening detail how a society can lose its mind, and how easily a power-hungry leader can reshape an entire country in his own malevolent image.

Brit
Rose Cassidyová nežije, len existuje, pretože jediný spôsob, ako sa dá prežiť v tomto nemilosrdnom svete, je otupiť sa voči bolesti a strachu. Keď sa v smrteľnej hre o moc stáva rukojemníčkou mafiána Dannyho Blacka, narastá v nej záujem, ale aj hlboká túžba. Už počula príbehy o Britovi, o jeho krutosti a bezcitnosti. Nikto jej však nepovedal, že je aj zlovestne príťažlivý. Vidí priamo do jej duše a zároveň v nej vzbudzuje nádej – pocit, ktorý je pre ňu krutejší než všetko ostatné.
Keď si Danny ako záruku vyžiadal krásnu milenku jedného zo svojich nepriateľov, netušil, aké to bude mať následky. Rose ho svojím divokým šarmom tlačí na pokraj šialenstva, až si musí pripomínať, že je len nástrojom, riešením problému. Napriek tomu v Dannym vyvoláva silné city, ktoré by ho mohli stáť život. Najmä keď ho chcú všetci zabiť.

Divoká láska
Najsladšie ovocie je to zakázané
Ford Grant je podľa časopisu Forbes považovaný za „Najpríťažlivejšieho miliardára na svete“. Pozornosť verejnosti však pre neho nie je vítaná a rád by si otvoril nahrávacie štúdio v nádhernom mestečku Rose Hill. Všetko sa skomplikuje, keď sa pred ním zjaví mladé dievča, ktoré ho označí za svojho biologického otca. Fordov život sa zrazu zmení na balansovanie medzi biznisom a výchovou mrzutej dvanásťročnej pubertiačky – nehovoriac o Rosie Belmontovej, sestre svojho najlepšieho priateľa, od ktorej musí držať ruky preč.
Rose po živote vo veľkomeste vtrhla späť do rodného mestečka ako búrka. Krásna, chaotická a nepredvídateľná. A stačí jedna úpenlivá prosba o prácu, aby ju Ford zamestnal. Síce sa snaží držať si ju od tela protivnými poznámkami a jednoslovnými odpoveďami, každá slovná prestrelka medzi nimi sa stáva akousi predohrou a vyvoláva iskrenie, ktoré rýchlo prerastie v niečo viac.
Ford si uvedomuje, že by nemal prekročiť túto nebezpečne tenkú hranicu, pretože nemôcť a nechcieť sú dve odlišné veci. Ostáva mu len jediné. Pokúsiť sa jej odolať.

Pogrom v Topoľčanoch
Iba niekoľko mesiacov po skončení 2. svetovej vojny sa 24. septembra 1945 v Topoľčanoch odohrali krvavé násilnosti, ktoré sú známe ako ,,topoľčiansky protižidovský pogrom". Jeho priebehom a vyšetrovaním sa zaoberali vtedajšie najvyššie štátne orgány na Slovensku a v ČSR. Udalosť mala veľký ohlas doma aj v zahraničí. Napriek tomu, akoby sa na tieto udalosti zabudlo. Topoľčiansky pogrom nebol podrobnejšie rozpracovaný ani v slovenskej historiografii. V monografii mesta Topoľčany je tejto udalosti venované len niekoľko riadkov. Autorky sa opierajú o archívny výskum a prinášajú osobné výpovede svedkov udalostí. Popisujú príčiny, priebeh pogromu, jeho vyšetrovanie a dôsledky, medzi ktoré patril najmä postupný odchod Židov z Topoľčian.

Trestný poriadok s komentárom a judikatúrou od 1. júla 2026
Kniha obsahuje úplné znenie zákona NR SR č. 301/2005 Z. z. s komentárom a judikatúrou po poslednej novele vykonanej zákonom NR SR č. 416/2025 Z. z. a zachytáva i uznesenie Ústavného súdu SR č. 41/2026 Z. z. Základným cieľom Trestného poriadku je zefektívnenie, zjednodušenie, zrýchlenie a zhospodárnenie trestného procesu, čím sa zabezpečuje účinnejšia ochrana práv a oprávnených záujmov fyzických a právnických osôb, ako aj ochrana celospoločenských záujmov. Štrukturálne zmeny možno vidieť v presune kompetencií medzi orgánmi činnými v trestnom konaní (policajt a prokurátor) a súdom, ktorý ako nezávislý štátny orgán meritórne rozhoduje vo veci. Zásadná zmena v presune kompetencií sa týka konania pred súdom. Okresný súd je základným článkom súdnej sústavy, pretože konania v prvom stupni sa o všetkých veciach konajú na tomto súde. V poslednom období došlo k podstatným zmenám Trestného poriadku a všetky tieto zmeny sú už zachytené v tejto knihe, ktorá slúži predovšetkým potrebám dennej praxe.
Veszett ügyek
Egy adrenalindús, lehengerlően izgalmas sorozatnyitány, amely egy különös FBI-osztag nyomozását követi egy kegyetlen gyilkos után.
Gardner Camden FBI-ügynök elemző zseni, a rejtélyek és mintázatok megszállottja. De van egy gyenge pontja: nem mindig látja az embereket – sem az ügyekben, sem a saját életében. Még hétéves kislányát, Camilát sem érti igazán. A munkájában azonban nincs párja: az FBI Mintaelemző- és azonosító egységének a tagja, egy olyan különleges csapatba tartozik, amelyet akkor vetnek be, amikor a hagyományos nyomozati módszerek csődöt mondanak.
Ráadásul épp egy rendkívül nyugtalanító ügyön dolgoznak: az első tetthely DNS-nyoma egy rég halottnak hitt sorozatgyilkoshoz vezet vissza, a második áldozatnál pedig már világos mintázat rajzolódik ki, miközben az elkövető kifejezetten Gardnernek kezd üzenni, rejtvényeket és jeleket hagyva maga után. Az egység, amely többnyire irodai környezetben, kihűlt akták felett dolgozik, hamarosan kénytelen lesz az ország különböző pontjaira menni a teljes nyilvánosság előtt.
Gardner mellett a csapat tagja még egy zseniális matematikus, egy fegyverszakértő, egy kíméletlenül hatékony informatikus, és a mindezt kézben tartó, veterán csapatvezető. Együtt kell megfejteniük a gyilkos kilétének rejtvényét. De miközben az elkövető egyre többet tud meg róluk, kérdés, vajon képesek lesznek-e megvédeni magukat – és a családjukat –, mielőtt túl késő lenne.
John McMahon regénye az 1990-es és 2000-es évek legjobb sorozatgyilkosos thrillereit idézi fel és helyezi modern környezetbe lehengerlő frissességgel. A kifinomult, csavaros bűnténynek, különleges szereplőknek és az utolsó oldalig tartó feszült tempónak köszönhetően a Veszett ügyek a műfaj legjobbjaival vetekszik.
