Angelin popol
Román ocenený Pulitzerovou cenou
Keď spomínam na svoje detstvo, čudujem sa, ako sa mi vôbec podarilo prežiť. Pravdaže, bolo to biedne detstvo, o šťastnom nestojí za to písať. Horšie než obyčajné biedne detstvo je biedne írske detstvo, a ešte horšie je biedne írske katolícke detstvo.
Takto sa začína autobiografický román držiteľa Pulitzerovej ceny Franka McCourta, ktorý sa narodil v období veľkej hospodárskej krízy v Brooklyne v rodine imigrantov a neskôr vyrastal v Írsku v žalostných podmienkach. Frankova matka Angela nemala peniaze, aby uživila svoje deti, lebo Frankov otec Malachy pracoval len zriedka, a keď už pracoval, celú výplatu prepil. Nemala na jedlo ani na oblečenie, trápila ich zima a vlhko, čo si vybralo krutú daň. Angelin život tak pripomínal každodenný boj o prežitie. Z jej snov a nádejí napokon ostal len popol.
Frankov otec, neznesiteľný a nezodpovedný človek, však zároveň živil chlapcovu túžbu po tom jedinom, čo dokázal svojmu synovi poskytnúť – po príbehu.
Možno práve vďaka tomu sa Frankovi podarilo prežiť. V handrách namiesto plienok, žobrajúci o bravčovú hlavu na vianočnú večeru a zbierajúci uhlie na kraji cesty, aby si mohli doma zakúriť, statočne znášal chudobu, vlčí hlad aj bezcitnosť príbuzných a susedov. Nielenže prežil, ale svoj príbeh napokon vyrozprával pútavo, s humorom a pozoruhodnou schopnosťou odpúšťať.

Najväčšia hra
Sedem vstupeniek. Ostrov snov. Jedinečná príležitosť.
Vitajte v Najväčšej hre miliardárky Avery Grambsovej a štyroch bratov Hawthornovcov, ktorých rodinný majetok zdedila. Zlatú vstupenku do nej získa sedem hráčov a tí majú možnosť dosiahnuť nielen slávu, ale aj bohatstvo, preto sú pre výhru ochotní urobiť čokoľvek.
Niektorých zlákal prísľub peňazí, iných vidina moci. A ďalší majú vlastné dôvody. Každý však ukrýva tajomstvá. V tejto hre najdôležitejšiu úlohu zohráva Grayson Hawthorne. Napätie stúpa a náročné úlohy skúšajú fyzické, psychické aj emocionálne hranice hráčov. Čoskoro sa však ukáže, že nie každý dodržiava pravidlá.

Dedina 2: Dobrodružstvo v portáli Nether
Skúšky v Netheri nie sú pre slabochov!
Keď sa v blízkosti Dediny objaví záhadný portál, zvedaví Nano a Mafi sa bez váhania vydávajú preskúmať, kam vedie – a ocitnú sa v nebezpečnom svete za portálom! V temných jaskyniach a ohnivých hlbinách číhajú neznáme bytosti a každý krok môže byť posledný. Nano padne do zajatia zvláštneho kmeňa Zlatých piglinov, no Mafi sa nevzdáva. Aby sa zachránili, musia zdolať tri ťažké skúšky a dokázať, že aj malí hrdinovia môžu meniť veľké svety.

A zárda gyermekei - Lottie Parker 15.
Lottie Parker felügyelő és Boyd őrmester szabadságon van. Connemarában vendégeskednek a férfi nővérénél, aki az esküvőjére készül. A nagy sürgés-forgásból elmenekülve Lottie a környéken sétálgat, amikor egy bungalónál villogó rendőrautókat lát. Természetesen odamegy, hogy megtudja, mi történt. Mint kiderült, egy összeégett női holttestet találtak a fürdőkádban.
Mooney őrmester, bár nem szívesen, emberhiány miatt elfogadja Lottie segítségét. Az áldozatnak nincs hozzátartozója, kislányként a Magdolna nővérek zárdában nevelkedett. Lottie a gondnoktól megtudja, hogy egy fiatal rádiós újságírónő, Imelda járt ott, a zárdáról készülő műsorához gyűjtött anyagot, majd eltűnt.
A nyomozás során szörnyű dolgok derülnek ki. Az apácák rabszolgákként dolgoztatták a lányokat a mosodában, kegyetlenül bántak velük, a legkisebb kihágást is megtorolták, a kínzásba belehalt gyerekek holttestét pedig eltüntették.
Majd újabb gyilkosság történik…
A háromgyerekes Lottie az érzéseit kikapcsolva, vérbeli profiként mindent megtesz, hogy Mooney őrmesterrel mielőbb felgöngyölítsék az ügyet.
Wild Darling
Enemies. Team-mates.
Something dangerously close to more … Parker Darling is ready to take center ice now that his older brothers have left to play hockey in college. He shows up to the first practice ready to be team captain of the Ransom Devils, only to find a new coach at the rink—one who already hates Parker for a dumb mistake he made years ago. A mistake he made with the help of Coach Foster's daughter, Mackenzie.
Kenzie Foster loves hockey, too, and she's a ruthless goalie. If only her dad hadn't forbidden her from playing—not that she'd want to be on any team with that arrogant jerk Parker Darling. She can't believe she's stuck on the bench at a new school, watching the Devils struggle to win without the force of all three Darling brothers.
Parker hates losing, and when the Devils' star goalie gets injured, he knows he has to step up and lead the team back to greatness. Kenzie, meanwhile, sees a wide-open net and an unused uniform just waiting to prove her dad wrong. They'll need to work together to reach their goals—without getting too close to making another big mistake.
Centrists of the World Unite!
We live in an age of extremes: populist leaders are setting the agenda, autocracies are on the march, and the liberal establishment is a bewildered blob, devoid of new ideas or fresh solutions. Having once powered progress in the form of democracy, mass welfare and defeating totalitarianism, liberals have the power to save the world again – but only if they rediscover the lost genius of their creed.
Guiding us skilfully and entertainingly through the intellectual, cultural and political histories of liberalism, this book lays out a centrist agenda for today’s problems. It reminds us of the dynamism and fixed principles that have shaped the successes of liberalism and warns us against splitting into sub-groups that fail to grapple with the common good. Wooldridge proposes that, as well as reviving social mobility, liberals today need to be much more critical of big business – particularly if it makes money by manipulating choices and spreading misinformation – and rethink the laissez-faireapproach to immigration, social disorder, and substance abuse.
A powerful call to action, Centrists of the World Unite! shows us how liberals of all parties and none can come together in defending the values of liberal civilization from enemies without and within.

Hooked
Eriko really wouldn't mind being savaged, if it was her best friend doing the savaging … Eriko's life appears perfect – devoted parents, spotless apartment and a job in the seafood division of one of Japan's largest trading companies. Her latest project, to reintroduce the controversial Nile perch fish into the Japanese market, is characteristically ambitious.
But beneath her flawless surface she is wracked by loneliness. Eriko becomes fascinated with a popular blog written by a housewife, Shoko. Shoko’s posts about eating convenience store food and her untidy home are the opposite of the typical Japanese housewife’s manicured lifestyle.
When Eriko tracks Shoko down at her favourite restaurant and befriends her, Shoko is at first charmed by her new companion. But as Eriko’s obsession with Shoko deepens, her increasingly possessive behaviour starts to raise suspicion. As Eriko’s carefully laid plans begin to unravel, how far will she go to hold on to the best friend that she’s ever had?
Beautifully translated by Polly Barton, Hooked is a thrilling and unsettling story of the line between friendship and dangerous obsession.
A delicious exploration of food, loneliness and womanhood in contemporary Japan, Hooked brings together all the ingredients for which Asako Yuzuki is so adored.
Six Years
A life built on lies.
A love that could kill...
Six years have passed since Jake Fisher watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.
But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie.
As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found, or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. And soon, Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart puts his very life at risk as he uncovers the secrets and lies that love can hide...

Travelling
Celebrated music critic Ann Powers explores the life and career of the legendary Joni Mitchell.
What you are about to read is not a standard account of the life and work of Joni Mitchell. Instead, it's a tale of long journeying through a life that changed popular music: of a homesick wanderer forging ahead on routes of her invention, and of me on her trail, heading toward the ringing of her voice.
One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Joni Mitchell has inspired countless musicians and writers, while never stopping still herself.
In Travelling, celebrated music critic Ann Powers seeks to understand the paradox of Mitchell - at once both elusive and inviting - through her myriad journeys. Drawing on extensive inter-views with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, Powers takes readers to rural Canada, charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats and explores the loves that fed her songwriting.
Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travelling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus - and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.
