Hexes of the Deadwood Forest
'You're holding a torpedo of a book in your hand. Take a seat and get comfortable. This novel's energy, humour and rebel spirit will awaken your mind and change your way of thinking' Olga TokarczukAnna Frenza hates the tyrannical tree huggers and idiotic eco-warriors, after all, she's CEO of Poland's biggest oil company. But when she finds herself sleepwalking into the woods and making love to a tree, all caught on camera, her career comes to an abrupt end. Her mind splinters and, whether by delusion or possession of spirit, she finds herself in a medieval province ruled by the Catholic Church. Deep in the past, she falls in with Mathilde Spalt, leader of the Earthen Ones - a congregation of women who live in the woods and reject all patriarchy. Instead engaging in the ecstatic, sensuous worship of Mother Earth. Anna learns to love the forest she had once dismissed . . . until the Church decides to fell the trees and all the women within it. Bold and entirely unexpected, Hexes of the Deadwood Forest is a collective rebellion, the death knell to the elevation of the erect. Take hold of your seat; patriarchy is coming to an end. 'A work of funny, shocking and deeply affecting feminist satire. Tokarczuk's own Drive Your Plow is the most obvious comparison, but Hexes is a genuinely, fiercely original work' Foyles, Top Ten Reads for May

"Catherine is a wonderful storyteller" - Phil EarleFrog has always known her younger brother Tad is unwell.

Estonian Lessons
An intimate portrait of Estonia and all things Estonian from the UK's ambassador, as entertaining as it is informative. Near the top of most international league tables comes a surprising name: Estonia. This small country has many brilliant achievements to its name which can and should inspire the rest of the world: top globally in both environmental performance and human rights; the second-biggest per capita donor to Ukraine, after Denmark; second globally in digital government; home to more tech unicorns per capita than any other state; and boasting the best exam results in Europe. Estonia has the best tax system (seven years in a row!) and the world's most performed living classical composer. All underpinned by a deep commitment to freedom. Ross Allen, UK Ambassador in Tallinn and a fluent Estonian-speaker, explores how this country has come to excel in so many fields, and what the rest of the world could learn from it. He offers insights from his diplomatic work, but also shares his embrace of local culture, from song festivals to smoke saunas. Having travelled across Estonia's towns, villages, islands and bogs, his understanding of and enthusiasm for this relatively obscure country shine through. With elements of travel, history, geography and international politics, this highly enjoyable book will make you see Estonia and the Baltics in a new light.
The Devil’s Garden
“Peter Marren is a master storyteller … he was destined to write The Devil’s Garden.” Richard MabeyA lively exploration of the poisoners, tricksters, stingers, stinkers and invaders of the plant world and how their lives intertwine with ours. Some plants and fungi – those we cultivate in farms, gardens and allotments – are pretty, useful or edible. Others are more troublesome: poisonous, or with painful stings, sinister looks or foul smells. In the medieval mind, these would be the flowers of the devil, planted on earth to torment humankind. The infamous death cap mushroom, innocent-looking but lethal. The monstrous corpse flower, with a stench to match its name. The mandrake, said to scream if uprooted. In this deeply insightful and unflinching read, naturalist and conservationist Peter Marren explores the world’s ‘worst’ plants and fungi and the ways they maim, murder and make mischief to get by. These species have rich histories, steeped in folklore and superstition, but there are also biological reasons behind why they are the way they are. Step into the devil’s garden and discover their stories, as amusing as they are unexpected and as gripping as they are horrifying.
One Leg on Earth
''An astonishing talent'' Lauren Groff, author of The Vaster Wilds''One of my favourite living writers'' Jeff VanderMeerTwenty-three-year-old Yosoye arrives in Lagos from her smaller home city of Ibadan, ready to begin her life. With a brand-new degree in communications, she is placed on an internship at a high-end architectural firm developing exclusive waterfront housing throughout the city. For introverted Yosoye, the glossy assignment is a chance to spread her wings, put her talents to use and envision a full and rewarding future. But Yosoye''s idyllic vision of her future in Lagos soon begins to seem naive. Something is not right about the waterfront building project the architectural firm are working on, but no-one will give her satisfactory answers. And then there is the bizarre epidemic sweeping through the city, of pregnant women drawn to water and jumping tragically to their deaths, in rivers, lakes and the sea. Which comes to seem even more chilling when Yosoye realises that after a chance encounter in her first weeks in Lagos, she is pregnant.A vibrant and atmospheric evocation of modern Lagos and the supernatural currents which swirl beneath it, One Leg on Earth is a story about the promises of capitalism and ambition, about individuality and community, and about motherhood and the mysterious lure of the abyss - from a powerful and lyrical new voice.
How Many Babies?
Praise for Forest Xiao:"Joyous […] The babies’ expressive round faces recall Helen Oxenbury ’s drawings, but Xiao’s art has a zingier colour palette and a wildness of its own. It’s one of the cutest, and perhaps best, picture book portrayals of new parenthood that I’ve ever read." - Observer on Seven Babies"Xiao’s delightful debut, exploring the everyday chaos that comes with having a baby in your life, has a similar look (and as much warmth) as Helen Oxenbury’s A First Book for Babies series." - Bookseller on Seven BabiesWith irresistible, graphic paintings and happy, bouncy text, this board book is a must-have for a new baby's library as well as an ideal present for any new parent or carer to share and read aloud with their child - together you can learn to count all the way to ten!Babies love to look at pictures of other babies. And babies have never been sweeter, rounder and happier than in Forest Xiao's counting concept board book which gently introduces little ones to first numbers through objects and situations they're familiar with. Count to ten with babies on a see-saw, babies in a shopping trolley, fast asleep babies (but for how long?) and so much more.

Hoax
'An entertaining read that vividly brings to life its motley cast of rogues, frauds and unfortunates' The Times'Scintillating ... a thrill ride through the filthy streets and dank rooms of Georgian England where the lies and deceptions that fooled a nation were born' Hallie Rubenhold, author of The Five Here lies Fanny Lynes, whose whispers from beyond the grave set London alight with scandal. Here swings Mary Bateman, who lived a life of lies - and died a prophetess and murderer. Here stands Mary Willcocks. Or is it Anne Burgess? Or Princess Caraboo, from the distant island of Javas? ghost. A witch. A princess. This is a story of those who lie. And of those who choose to believe them. The discoveries of the Enlightenment unsettled as much as they excited. New truths challenged longstanding beliefs. Rationalism jarred with superstition. Which voices would be heard in this ferocious battle for certaint? rom the chaos, three women and their hoaxes rose as symbols of terror and fascination. But were the lies surrounding Fanny Lynes, Mary Bateman and Mary Willcocks entirely of their own making? Why were the public transfixe? uestioning culpability and complicity, Pelling's engrossing history of this great age of the hoax reveals a veiled world of moral panic, tall tales and true crime, and holds a mirror to our own turbulent relationship with truth.

Hey Man
“If all that follows reads like a love story, that's what it was...”Hey Man is the story of Ian and Tommy, whose rich and tender friendship stretches across three fateful decades. Their story begins in 1989, when seventeen-year-old Dubliner Ian finds himself lodging with thirty-year-old actor Tommy in London. A summer of long nights and early mornings leaves an indelible mark on them both. Then, the adventure ends. Tommy vanishes, and Ian is left with the ache of something unfinished. When they meet again in Dublin, fifteen years later, Ian is Brother Eugene, a Benedictine monk searching for meaning in devotion, while Tommy is navigating fame, divorce, and his familiar restlessness. The old spark is there—but so are the questions: what did they mean to each other, and why does it still matte? t Tommy’s sixtieth birthday, with illness casting its shadow, the truths long buried rise to the surface. Tender and devastating, Hey Man is a meditation on the mysteries of male friendship and the bonds that shape a life. An ode to male friendship—wise, wry, poetic, and deeply moving.
Pomsta nosí Pradu
Karma je... späť!
Zo snov a pracovných nádejí sa ľahko môže stať nočná mora... Andrea Sachsová o tom vie svoje. Pred desiatimi rokmi odišla z miesta asistentky Mirandy Priestlyovej v módnom časopise Runway, pre ktoré by milióny žien zabíjalo. Našťastie sa jej otvorili dvere k omnoho lepšej budúcnosti – s bývalou kolegyňou Emily založili luxusný svadobný časopis The Plunge, ktorý svojou populárnosťou môže rozhodne konkurovať aj samotnému Runwayu.
Všetko sa zdá byť konečne dokonalé – dokonca aj Andrein nový snúbenec –, kým sa k nej nedostane tajný list. Správa ju vráti do čias odsudzujúcich pohľadov, z ktorých sa jej podarilo utiecť. Alebo si aspoň myslela, že sa jej to podarilo. Andrea sa musí znova postaviť zoči-voči módnej diablici. Aj keď je staršia a skúsenejšia, jej bývalá šéfka ju určite šetriť nebude. Ale tento raz ani ona ju.

Ravenswood 3: Nikdy nezabudnem
Lady Jennifer Ardenová a Ben Ellis vedia, že manželský zväzok medzi nimi neprichádza do úvahy. Ich srdcia si to však túžobne želajú... Objavte nový dojímavý príbeh z pera kráľovnej historickej romance Mary Baloghovej, ktorým pokračuje úspešná regentská séria Ravenswood.
Lady Jennifer, sestra vojvodu Wilbyho, v detstve prekonala chorobu, ktorá spôsobila, že nemôže chodiť. Napriek tomu z nej vyrástla veselá, spoločenská mladá žena, obklopená veľkou milujúcou rodinou a množstvom priateľov. Tajne však sníva o tom, že raz bude vedieť chodiť či dokonca tancovať.
Keď sa Ben Ellis náhodne zoznámi s lady Jennifer a sleduje, ako sa pokúša kráčať, opierajúc sa o nepohodlné barly, ihneď vycíti jej túžobné želania. Je o ňom známe, že sa usiluje vyriešiť všetky praktické problémy, na ktoré natrafí. A tak si aj teraz zaumieni, že Jennifer pomôže objaviť nezávislosť a radosť z pohybu. Musí však byť opatrný, keďže je nemanželský syn nebohého grófa Strattona. Hoci vyrastal v grófovej rodine, vie, že do vysokej spoločnosti celkom nepatrí.
Jennifer Benove nápady spočiatku šokujú, no postupne im prichádza na chuť. Priateľstvo a rastúca vzájomná náklonnosť medzi mladými ľuďmi vyvolajú v oboch rodinách znepokojenie. Vojvodova sestra sa predsa nemôže vydať za grófovho ľavobočka. Ibaže niekedy si láska nájde cestu bez ohľadu na okolnosti...

Lordi bolesti
Říkali mi, že jsem špatná holka. Ale nikdo mě nepřipravil na to, co přijde teď. Killian, Rath a Tristian.
Tři jména, která mě jednoho odpoledne rozbila na kusy. Můj nevlastní bratr tehdy jen přihlížel. Smál se, zatímco mě jeho přátelé lámali. Utekla jsem. Jenže minulost tě vždycky dožene a teď mám stalkera, který je mnohem děsivější než tihle tři.
Strach, stud a naprosté zoufalství mě přivedlo na práh sídla Lordů na Forsyth University.
Z kluků s tajemstvím se stali vládci, kteří si podmanili všechno a všechny. Já se rozhodla pro šílený tah: vyhrát konkurz na jejich Lady.
Podepsala jsem smlouvu, která mě k nim připoutala. Teď jsem jejich majetkem, jejich trofejí, jejich hračkou. Úplně vydaná na milost jejich zvráceným pravidlům. Protože není nic, co by Lord miloval víc než absolutní kontrolu nad ženou, která si myslela, že může uniknout.
Vítej v jejich posteli, Story. Tady už tě nikdo neuslyší křičet... pokud ti to oni sami nedovolí.

Strata
Strata, tedy vrstvy. Román, v němž Terry Pratchett poprvé zkoumá myšlenku plochého světa – dávno předtím, než vznikla jeho slavná Zeměplocha. Nacházíme se prozatím v žánru science fiction, ale autor už s typickým kacířstvím a nadhledem přemítá o původu vesmíru, civilizací i samotné reality.
Na cestu za největším tajemstvím všech dob se vydává posádka složená ze tří bytostí různých ras, a jejich výprava je stejně dobrodružná jako podvratná. Pratchett zde spojuje humor, filozofii a nápady, které později dozrály v jeho nejslavnějších knihách. Po třiceti letech se tak českým čtenářům vrací pozoruhodný titul, který ukazuje autora na prahu jeho největších objevů.
