Anorektik
Anorexie není jen problémem dívek. Jan Jurek, který s touto nemocí bojoval, ve své novele odhaluje, jak hluboce může anorexie zasáhnout životy chlapců i jejich rodin. Prostřednictvím osobního příběhu a otevřeného pohledu do své duše nabízí čtenářům unikátní vhled do složité psychiky anorektiků. Popisuje nejen lékařské postupy na klinikách, ale i alternativní cesty léčby, které sám vyzkoušel.

Kniha může být cenná pro rodiče a blízké, kteří hledají porozumění a podporu pro své děti. Je také inspirací pro mladé lidi, kteří se s anorexií potýkají, a nabízí jim naději na zvládnutí této výzvy.

A tenger asszonyai
„Minden nő, aki a tengerbe merül, koporsót cipel a hátán…
Itt, a víz alatti világban nehéz élet terhét hordozzuk.
Nap mint nap élet és halál között egyensúlyozunk.”
A dél-koreai Csedzsu-sziget komor sziklái között élnek a henjo asszonyok – bátor nők, akik egy lélegzettel merülnek a jeges tenger mélyére, hogy kagylót és algát hozzanak a felszínre. Közülük való Jongszuk és Midzsa, akik gyermekkoruktól elválaszthatatlanok.
Egyikük a búvárkollektíva vezetőjének a lánya, a másik egy kollaboráns elárvult gyermeke. Amikor Midzsa elveszíti a szüleit, Jongszuk családja befogadja, és a lányok szinte testvérekként nőnek fel. Japán árnyéka és a diktatúra azonban átformálja a sziget életét, és a történelem sodrása kegyetlenül próbára teszi a két nő barátságát is.
A tenger asszonyai évtizedeken átívelő történet, mely a japán megszállás időszakától a második világháborún és a koreai háborún át egészen napjainkig kíséri el a szereplőket. Lisa See érzékeny, elsöprő erejű regénye a női barátság, a túlélés és az emberi lélek mélységeinek megrázó története – egy világé, ahol a tenger egyszerre az élet forrása és a veszteségek tanúja.
Ódon könyvek visszhangja
Az antikvárius Ashlyn Greer könyvimádata túlmutat a régi papír, nyomdafesték és bőr mámorító illatán.
Képes érezni és értelmezni a könyvek előző tulajdonosának érzelmi ujjlenyomatát, amit ,,a visszhang"-nak hív. Amikor talál két gyönyörűen bekötött, összeillő könyvet, amelyek soha nem kerültek a nyilvánosság elé, Ashlyn képessége gyorsan rögeszmévé válik.
Mindkét könyv ajánlásából meghökkentő vád olvasható ki, szerzőik, Hemi és Belle pedig ellentmondásosan mesélik el ugyanazt a tragikus szerelmi történetet.
Miközben Ashlyn e könyvek keletkezésének nyomát kutatja, egy több évtizedes irodalmi rejtély részesévé válik.
A két megtört szív a könyv lapjairól szólítja, bárkik is ők, bárhol vannak is. Eltökéli, hogy megtudja az elátkozott szerelmesek története mögött rejlő igazságot, ezért a megszegett ígéretek és látszólag
megbocsáthatatlan árulások nyomában beleveti magát a könyvekbe.
Minél többet tud meg Ashlyn Hemiről és Belle-ről, annál közelebb jut a történetük - csakúgy, mint a saját élete - félbehagyott fejezeteinek befejezéséhez.
Batman: Három Joker
Egy újabb kegyetlen bűncselekmény után Batman bizonyosságot szerez arról, amit már régóta sejtett: a pszichopata bűnöző, akit egész életében üldözött, nem egyetlen személy. Több Joker létezik. A bizonyíték megvan, Bruce immár válaszokat keres. Barbara Gordonnal (Batgirl) és Jason Toddal (Vörös Sisak), Joker két korábbi áldozatával szövetkezve a Sötét Lovag végre jó úton halad, hogy egyszer és mindenkorra leszámoljon a bűn bohóchercegével, akárhány is legyen belőle. De vajon nem pont ez volt a Jokerek szándéka is?
Geoff Johns és Jason Fabok képregénye az elmúlt évek egyik legnagyobb sikere, ami nem kisebb vállalást tűzött ki maga elé, mint újraértelmezni Joker mítoszát és megfogalmazni, miért is vívja örök harcát Batman ellen.
A kötet a teljes háromrészes Batman: Three Jokers minisorozatot tartalmazza.
Black and British
Winner of the 2017 PEN Hessell-Tiltman PrizeWinner of the Longman History Today Trustees’ AwardLonglisted for the Orwell PrizeUnflinching and revealing, Black and British is a vital history that reveals how black British lives have been woven into the fabric of the nation for centuries – from Roman Britain to the Black Lives Matter protests. 'Groundbreaking' – The Observer'A radical reappraisal’ – The Guardian'Written with great force and passion’ – The Sunday TimesDrawing on new research, original records and expert testimony, David Olusoga's Black and British shows us exactly why black history is not a separate or marginalized story, but an integral part of Britain's cultural and economic life. Stretching back as far as Roman Britain, the medieval imagination, Elizabethan ‘blackamoors’ and the global slave-trading empire, it shows that the great industrial boom of the nineteenth century was built on American slavery, and that black Britons fought at Trafalgar and in the trenches of both World Wars. Now fully revised and updated to include the Windrush scandal and the Black Lives Matter movement, this is a history that reveals how the lives of black and white Britons have been entwined for centuries – a history that belongs to us all. Now in the Picador Collection.

The African Kingdom of Gold
Empire. Plunder. Resistance. The forgotten history of Britain and the Asante gold. 'A compelling, challenging and important book.' William Boyd1874. Kumasi, the Asante capital, burns. British soldiers prowl the palace, looting as much gold as they can find, before razing it to the ground. In Britain the soldiers are feted as heroes. In 1896 they return, looting the palace a second time and carrying off more gold to London in triumph. Royalty, aristocracy and London’s most illustrious museums divide the spoils. ‘It is scarcely possible to do justice to the variety and beauty of these specimens,’ The Times declares. There are golden masks, swooping eagles and an exquisitely wrought ram’s head. One mpomponsou – a ceremonial sword – comes wrapped in a leopard skin sheath. Tracing the course of Britain’s wars with the Asante alongside the course of its plundered relics, Barnaby Phillips weaves a thrilling and poignant tale of imperial ambition and African resistance. Travelling from the Gold Coast to the museum galleries, officers’ mess rooms and aristocratic homes of Britain, The African Kingdom of Gold confronts us with urgent questions about the legacy of Empire and, in particular, how our museums should respond.

The Mouthless Dead
'Anthony Quinn has found an ingenious way of shaping the story into a gripping work of fiction... a compelling mixture of crime story and character study' Sunday Times'A dark, unsettling, completely addictive mystery' Jonathan Coe'A beguiling real-life crime thriller' Chris Brookmyre'Absorbing.. The Mouthless Dead is as engrossing as it is unsettling' Emma FlintOne night in 1931 William Wallace was handed a phone message at his chess club from a Mr Qualtrough, asking him to meet at an address to discuss some work. Wallace caught a tram from the home he shared with his wife, Julia, to the address which turned out, after Wallace had consulted passers-by and even a policeman, to not exist. On returning home two hours later he found his wife beaten to death in the parlour. The elaborate nature of his alibi pointed to Wallace as the culprit. He was arrested and tried, found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang, but the next month the Court of Criminal Appeal sensationally overturned the verdict and he walked free. The killer was never found. Fifteen years on, the inspector who worked the case is considering it once more. Speculation continues to be rife over the true killer's identity. James Agate in his diary called it 'the perfect murder', Raymond Chandler said 'The case is unbeatable. It will always be unbeatable'. And on a cruise in 1947, new information is about to come to light.

Framed by an introductory essay and preface, Thainess offers an insider’s perspective on a culture where heritage and innovation meet, positioning Thailand as a creative force with global relevance.
Lawmaking under Authoritarianism
Why are legislatures in some authoritarian regimes more powerful than others? Why does influence on policies and politics vary across dictatorships? To answer these questions, Lawmaking under Authoritarianism extends the power-sharing theory of authoritarian government to argue that autocracies with balanced factional politics have more influential legislatures than regimes with unbalanced or unstable factional politics. Where factional politics is balanced, autocracies have reviser legislatures that amend and reject significant shares of executive initiatives and are able to block or reverse policies preferred by dictators. When factional politics is unbalanced, notary legislatures may amend executive bills but rarely reject them, and regimes with unstable factional politics oscillate between these two extremes. Lawmaking under Authoritarianism employs novel datasets based on extensive archival research to support these findings, including strong qualitative case studies for past dictatorships in Argentina, Brazil, and Spain.
Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting
Unsettling things are happening in rural Norfolk. At first glance, Hesket is a blink-and-you-miss it village, a seemingly unremarkable place that belies its horrifying history. There are tales of witch trials and death, of a curse that lies dormant in the landscape where the women condemned as witches are buried, and a great flood that long ago washed Old Hesket away.In present-day Hesket, a new development is planned for this woodland. Following various different voices in which the ordinary and the peculiar converge, Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting chronicles a quiet community of hard-working people, each contending with their own losses amidst daily life. To their horror, the sacred grounds of their beloved old woods are earmarked for development. As the work commences, despite village protests, strange and unexplained events begin to occur and the lives of the villagers start to disintegrate. While each of the eight characters has their own story to tell, beautifully and heart-rendingly encapsulated within individual chapters, the narrative connects them in a broader tale of jealousy, love, bereavement and joy from beginning to end.Merging psychological realism and rural terror, Hesket: A Norfolk Haunting is a compelling, uncanny page-turner from debut novelist Sara Bayat.
Leonardo da Vinci
Young readers will follow Leonardo from his childhood in the small village of Vinci, Italy, where he sketched animals and dreamed of flying machines, to his training as an artist and his creation of world-famous paintings like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Along the way, they'll see how his endless imagination and fascination with nature shaped his life's work. But his talents didn't stop there…
Throughout his life, Leonard set himself challenges. Lacking any real formal education, at the age of 30 he taught himself Latin. Around this time, he moved to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza family as an engineer, sculptor, painter and architect. From designing flying machines to sketching the first ideas for submarines and robots, Leonardo's brilliant and technical mind meant he was always thinking centuries ahead of his time. Now, this book brings his groundbreaking inventions and wide-ranging genius to life.
Leonardo's work continues to influence art, science and innovation today. His story teaches children to embrace their curiosity, explore their passions and never stop learning. By showing how one person's imagination can shape the future, this inspiring book will spark creativity in young readers and encourage them to see the world through curious, questioning eyes - just like Leonardo.
This powerful book features detailed illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of Leonardo's life.
