Egy kis boszi naplója – Az éhes árnyék
Luna Hush éppen kezdi megszokni nemrégiben megtalált boszorkányörökségét és erejét, azonban az iskolában továbbra is nehéz az élete. Még a legjobb barátja, Charlie sem érti meg igazán, milyen érzés, ha mindig ő az, akit gúnyolnak, és bármit tesz, csak súlyosabb lesz a helyzet. A dolgok pedig még rosszabbra fordulnak, amikor Luna anyukája randizni kezd az iskola legflúgosabb tanárával. Mindenki azt mondja, csak legyintsen a csúfolódókra – de hogy lehet elfogadni, ha zaklatnak?
A lányban fortyogó düh és mély elkeseredettség oda vezet, hogy mikor egy titokzatos talizmánra bukkan, ami elő tudja hozni lényének egy másik oldalát, egy olyat, aki magabiztos, laza, menő és rendkívül népszerű, Luna kérdés nélkül belemegy a varázslatba. De vajon jó ötlet egy mágikus és ismeretlen erőnek átadni az irányítást?
The Motherload
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Belletrist Book Club Pick * The Times (London) Book of the Week “Essential reading for anyone who’s felt failed by the parental canon.” —Town & Country “An honest and refreshing take on motherhood.” —Today “With blistering honesty” (Oprah Daily), this nationally bestselling motherhood memoir dares to ask what happens when “what to expect when you’re expecting” turns out to be months of rage, anguish, brain fog, and a total surrender of sex, career, and identity. Like most of us, Sarah Hoover grew up imagining a certain life for herself, and when she moved from Indiana to New York City to study art history, the life she’d imagined began falling into place. She got her degree in art history, landed a job in a gallery, made friends, and met interesting artists, one of whom became her husband. But when Hoover got pregnant, everything in her life began to unravel. She felt like an imposter in her own body. She grew distant from her friends and husband. Anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame threatened to swallow her. She also experienced trauma at the hands of one of her doctors—a stark trigger. And when her son was born, there was no joy. Her despair was persistent, even with help, therapy, and pills. Grieving a lost identity and angry at the world around her, she found herself despising her baby, her husband, and herself. She was afraid it might not end. With the help of a doctor’s diagnosis, Hoover began to understand the cluster of symptoms that informed her experience—she was drowning in postpartum depression—and that she wasn’t a bad mother or a failed woman. At its core, this “page-turning look at the realities of motherhood and postpartum depression” (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author) is about learning to forgive yourself. It’s a rejection of the cultural idea of the mother as a perfect being. And it’s a propulsive and whip-smart “welcome moment of truth” (W Magazine) on the vicissitudes of marriage, life, and parenting—a motherhood memoir unlike any other.

Zapomenutí mrtví
Tragické lidské osudy od česko-rakouské hranice
Kniha přináší příběhy a autentická svědectví o těch, kteří zemřeli při pokusu překročit československo-rakouskou hranici v letech 1948–1989. Ale i o těch, kdo u ní zahynuli pouhou náhodou. Na základě archivních materiálů, výpovědí pamětníků i vlastního bádání odhalují autoři příběhy třiapadesáti obětí železné opony v úseku mezi Dolním Rakouskem a jižní Moravou. Chronologicky řazené kapitoly nabízejí příběhy těch, kteří zemřeli v drátech nabitých elektřinou, v minovém poli nebo zasaženi střelbou pohraničníků. Publikace zachycuje nejen osobní tragédie, ale i mechanismy státní moci, která touhu po svobodě trestala smrtí. Rehabilituje zapomenuté oběti a vrací jim jména — a v řadě případů i tváře.

The Next One is For You
Northern Ireland, 1975. Violence has erupted on the streets of Belfast. After years as a sleepy guerilla army, the IRA is clashing with Loyalist gangs and heavily armed British soldiers. But the Troubles have spilled beyond the small island: An ocean away, in the heart of Philadelphia's Irish enclave, a teenage girl finds a letter in her mailbox. Inside is a bullet, and the message is clear: The next one is for you. From New York Times reporter and Pulitzer finalist Ali Watkins, this true-crime saga is the long-buried story of how a group of Philadelphia gunrunners armed the IRA at the height of the Troubles. A ragtag band of carpenters, family men and fugitives, the Philadelphia Five, as they came to be known, banded together, bolstering the fight for a united Ireland but fuelling the Troubles at an untold cost. This small group of Irish nationalists smuggled hundreds of rifles, rocket launchers, explosives and armour-piercing bullets across the Atlantic Ocean and into Northern Ireland. Whether they were skimming money from innocuous-seeming charities, coolly slipping weapons into hidden compartments of vans and houses, or scouring local graveyards for the names of dead Irishmen to use on firearm forms, the gunrunners approached their mission -to unite Ireland under one flag, by any means necessary -with ruthless poise, even as investigators closed in, members of their own movement began to turn on them, and bodies stacked up on all sides. A gripping tale of crime, rebellion and the hazy line between them, The Next One Is for You is the definitive account of America's hand in the Troubles - a conflict whose resonance is still felt on both sides of the Atlantic today.
Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life
In the year following 7 October 2023, Samar Yazbek met with hundreds of survivors from Gaza, asking each of them about their experiences of that day and the months of destruction and displacement that followed. From these encounters comes Your Presence Is a Danger to Your Life, a selection of twenty-six testimonies from ordinary civilians aged thirteen to sixty-five, whose lives have been irrevocably altered by what may one day be remembered as one of the most savage military offensives of our time. Adapted from warning flyers dropped moments before a bombing, the book’s title captures the impossible reality of life for Gazans. That reality is laid bare in accounts marked by unimaginable loss – homes shattered, loved ones vanished, limbs obliterated – and mechanisms of cruelty that defy comprehension. In gathering these testimonies, Yazbek brings into focus the human lives behind the headlines, and the survivors’ determination, even amid devastation, to speak and to be heard.

At Least It Looks Good From Space
'A wonderful take on the chaos of the modern word' Louise O'Neill'Really, really good - thoughtful, funny, smart and stupid' Séamus O'Reilly'Self-deprecating, insightful and witty' Irish Examiner 'Carl has the rare gift of combining analytical clarity with maniacal vulnerability' Blindboy Boatclub'Great company ... Touching, interesting, funny and informative' Marian KeyesLike the rest of us, Carl Kinsella has spent the last ten years trying to find a way to navigate modern life, mental health and the internet. Well, maybe not quite like the rest of us. From starting a rumour that convinced much of Ireland that the Luas was free to having a breakdown at the Dolly Parton theme park, here Carl has done his best to document a journey that's been all at once relatable and ridiculous. Informed by his experiences with OCD - an illness that warped his perception of reality, convinced him he was dying, and threatened the very foundations of his life - this collection of essays reflects on stories of attention, algorithms, masculinity and madness. Honest and deeply human, At Least It Looks Good From Space is a colourful search for answers about what it means to be losing your mind and what you might find to replace it. 'Sharp, inventive and irresistibly engaging' Sophie White'Kinsella proves a sharp satirist and a shrewd observer of the minutiae of Irish life' IRISH TIMES
Noble Beasts
'Rich, layered, and deeply thoughtful' - LUCY STEEDS'A magnificent novel - vivid, moving and utterly convincing' - S.G. MACLEANIn the suffocating summer of 1858, Sir Edwin Landseer faces the monumental task of sculpting the Trafalgar Square lions. The nation is watching, the Royal Academy is whispering, and the Queen herself expects brilliance. The press, his doctor and Edwin's inner demons predict disaster. As the pressure mounts, beasts begin to stalk Edwin's increasingly alcohol-fuelled nightmares. His mind flees from stifling Victorian London to the freedom of the Scottish Highlands, the riotous days of the Regency and the woman who set his world alight. Georgina: older, adventurous and irreverent. Georgina: married to Edwin's most influential patron. Georgina: the love of his life. The world called it a scandal, but the world didn't know what it was talking about. The world should have called it a tragedy. Based on real events and rumours that burned like wildfire, Noble Beasts is a story of art, sacrifice, and enduring love, painting a vivid and passionate picture of the tangled relationships that helped make Edwin's career but broke his heart and his mind. 'Waverley immerses the reader in the lushly textured worlds of the sweeping Highlands and of a glittering, claustrophobic society.' - LUCY STEEDS, author of The Artist'Passionate, sensual, profoundly moving . . . one of the best works of historical fiction I ever read' - A.N. WILSON'A fascinating and immersive portrait of an artist driven by ambition, passion and addiction' JOANNA MILLER,author of The Eights'Impeccably researched and exquisitely written.'
