Sladkobol
Román o knihách, přátelství, velké lásce a o tom, že ne všechny sny by se měly vyplnit
Charlie je třiadvacet, je single, bydlí s kamarády a začala pracovat jako asistentka v nezávislém londýnském nakladatelství. Richardovi je šestapadesát, je ženatý, má luxusní byt v Londýně i sídlo na venkově a jeho romány ovlivnily celou generaci. I pro Charlie znamená Richard mnoho — kromě literárního vzoru také připomínku zesnulé matky, která jeho knihy milovala.
Když se tihle dva poprvé setkají, přeskočí jiskra. A Charlie ohromeně sleduje, jak se z ní stává plamen — žhavý, silný a všepohlcující. Od začátku chápe, že tenhle vztah nebude snadný a že mu bude muset hodně obětovat. Neustálé tajnosti, skrývání se, hlídání si každého slůvka, mlžení i před nejbližšími přáteli. Mezi ní a Richardem však panuje výjimečné pouto, které za tohle všechno stojí. Oni dva jsou přece něco víc než jen mladičká dívka ohromená aurou slavného muže a spisovatel poblázněný fanynkou plnou obdivu. Nebo ne?

Císař Karel IV. - Postrach světa
V nejnovější biografii českého krále a římsko-německého císaře Karla IV. autor pojímá 14. století jako dramatické období, plné politických a hospodářských krizí, kulturního neklidu a hledání nového funkčního způsobu správy římsko-německé říše v severní Itálii, jižní Francii a v Německu, jenž vyvrcholil přijetím Zlaté buly v roce 1356. Kniha je založena na důkladné znalosti a mistrné interpretaci vyprávěcích a diplomatických pramenů, stejně jako na kritickém přístupu k dosavadnímu, téměř nepřebernému historickému bádání.
Rader nahlíží osobu Karla IV. komplexním způsobem, přičemž důraz klade jak na jeho říšskou vládu, tak na její propojení se strukturálně zcela odlišným panováním v českém království. Mnohem více než dřívější bádání klade důraz na skutečnost, že Karel začal programově budovat novou říšskou rezidenci v Praze a s Prahou spojoval budoucnost římsko-německé říše. Stejně tak si všímá císařovy podpory a mecenátu umění a vzdělání. Zároveň však nijak nezamlčuje ani temné stránky Karlova politického života, jeho čirý pragmatismus, podíl na pronásledování kacířů a vypočítavý přístup k židovskému obyvatelstvu v mnoha německých městech.

The Bear and the Seed
A gorgeously lyrical folktale about the importance of protecting our environment by Greenaway-shortlisted Poonam Mistry.
Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants, and trees that tower up to the sun. One night, the trees and plants disappear and when the animals wake up, they begin to flee the forest in grief.
But when Bear finds a lonely seed, he works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He shades it from the harsh wind and cold snowy season, but nature's power is unavoidable and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that by the time he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew.
British Gardens
What do our gardens say about us?
Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.
Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.

To the Moon and Back
Steph Harper is on the run.
When she was five, her mother ran - with Steph and her younger sister in tow - from an abusive husband into the arms of a small Cherokee community, where she hoped they might finally belong.
But Steph soon sets her sights as far away as she can get, vowing that she will let nothing interfere with her dream to become an astronaut, and ultimately, to go to the moon.
In Steph's certainty that only her ambition can save her, she will stretch her bonds with the three women who know and love her most dearly: her younger sister Kayla, an artist whose determination to appear good takes her life to unexpected places; her college girlfriend Della, who strives to reclaim her identity as an adult after being removed from her family as a young girl through a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, who has held up her family's history as a beacon of inspiration to her kids, all the while keeping the truth about her own past a secret.
Told through these women's interwoven lives, and spanning three decades and several continents, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel of mothers and daughters, love and sacrifice, alienation and heartbreak, terror and wonder. At its core, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths one woman will go to find a little space for herself.

Liquid Reflections
ONIX Description‘A beautifully written memoir by one of the most important and original artists working today . . . utterly gripping, enraging, entertaining – and important. I can''t recommend it highly enough’ Jennifer HiggieA sparkling memoir and portrait of trailblazing artist Liliane Lijn as a young womanIn 1958, talented and fearless and eighteen years old, Liliane Lijn left her family home and moved to Paris alone to become an artist. Once there, she found an art world filled with the wild energy of creative revolution – peopled and controlled almost entirely by men.In the years that followed, Lijn built a life for herself in the city. She embraced the hectic bohemian spirit of the Left Bank. She befriended artists, painters, poets, gallerists and revolutionaries, as the late Surrealists gave way to a burgeoning Pop Art movement. She had disastrous love affairs with difficult men. She experimented boldly, creating ground-breaking sculptures with light, text and movement. And as her profile steadily grew, she was told again and again that there are no great women artists: ‘There never have been.’Liquid Reflections is her memoir of these years of experiment and adventure – years when Lijn was constantly in motion, from Paris to New York to Venice to Athens, from paper and canvas to wax and Perspex to oil and water. In love, she became pregnant but rebelled against the idea that a woman could not be both a great artist and a mother.And she sought – and found – radical pleasure in the act of creative expression and in the living, sensuous world around her.Based on personal diaries from the time, this is a riveting and revelatory account of a singular coming of age: a glittering portrait of the artist as a young woman.''I wrote LIQUID REFLECTIONS because I wanted to take my readers on the journey I made to become an artist. It''s the story of an idealistic, inspired young woman who refuses to accept the prejudices of her time. Becoming an artist was also a search for my own identity…’ Liliane Lijn

State Matters
Why does the state matter to its people? How do people know and experience the state? And how did the state come to be both desired and dreaded by its subjects? This study offers a historically grounded social theoretical account of state consolidation in Iraq, from the foundation of the country as a League of Nations British Mandate in 1921 through to the post-2003 era. Through analysis of key historical episodes of state consolidation (and fragmentation) during the past century, Nida Alahmad argues that consolidation rests on two sequential and interdependent factors. First, domination: the state's capacity to dominate land and population. Second, legitimation: whereby the state is accepted and expected by the population to be the final arbitrator of collective life based on common principles. Moving between intellectual traditions and disciplines, Alahmad demonstrates that a theorization of state consolidation is a theorization of the modern state.
Vikings in North America
It was the Vikings, not Christopher Columbus, who made the first European discovery of America. It was the Vikings, not the Pilgrim Fathers, who were the first Europeans settlers in America, and it was probably the Vikings who first used the name America. Around a thousand years ago the Vikings crossed the North Atlantic and established their settlements on the American continent. Yet today both Europe and North America treat the Vikings in North America as if it were no more than a curious footnote to their histories – as if the Vikings made just a handful of voyages with little impact. This book challenges this outdated view. We now know that the Vikings travelled widely in North America, both on the east coast and in the high Arctic and Hudson Bay. Today we realise that Viking presence in America lasted nearly five centuries, and its legacy inspired much of the post-Columban exploration of North America.
Murder at the Colosseum
1900.

Moving from the Forum to the Spanish Steps, Rome is suddenly the backdrop of another investigation for the Museum Detectives who clash with local authorities and a rising mafia influence in a race to uncover the truth.
Nova Scotia House
FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY PRIZE 2026A FOYLES AND GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEARSHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDSMITHS PRIZE‘A work of genius’ Philip Hoare‘One of the best things I’ve read in many many years’ Hilton Als'Beautifully provocative' Eimear McBrideA story of loss and grief, sex and love, and refusing to relinquish dreamsHe said he would understand if it was too much for me, that I could leave him, that I was young, I should be living, I said to him, I am living. Johnny Grant faces stark life decisions. Seeking answers, he looks back to his relationship with Jerry Field. When they met, nearly thirty years ago, Johnny was 19, Jerry was 45. They fell in love and made a life on their own terms in Jerry’s flat: 1, Nova Scotia House. Johnny is still there today – but Jerry is gone, and so is the world they knew. As Johnny’s mind travels between then and now, he begins to remember stories of Jerry’s youth: of experiments in living; of radical philosophies; of the many possibilities of love, sex and friendship before the AIDS crisis devastated the queer community. Slowly, he realizes what he must do next—and attempts to restore ways of being that could be lost forever. Nova Scotia House takes us to the heart of a relationship, a community and an era. It is both a love story and a lament; bearing witness to the enduring pain of the AIDS pandemic and honouring the joys and creativity of queer life. Intimate, visionary, and profoundly original, it marks the debut of a vibrant new voice in contemporary fiction, and a writer with a liberating new story to tell.
