Válka jsme my
Povídková kniha Válka jsme my obsahuje deset dramatických příběhů Čechů a Slováků, zasazených do širokého časového rámce od druhé světové války přes Indočínu a Vietnam až po Afghánistán. Některé jsou inspirovány skutečnými osudy, jiné jsou fiktivní, všechny jsou však ukotveny v historických reáliích, které se odehrály, nebo se odehrát mohou.
Jak říká autor knihy: „Válka změní vše. Zažere se vám pod kůži, dostane do žaludku, změní se v nekonečnou noční můru. A je jedno, zda se odehrává na druhém konci světa, za humny, nebo na vlastním dvorku. Je všudypřítomná. VÁLKA JSME MY. Vždy tomu tak bylo a bude.“
The Makeup Remover: Volume 2
The real competition is just getting started, both inside and out. . . .
After successfully passing the preliminary round of Face-Off Cinderella, wallflower Kim Yeseul
feels a bit more confident in herself, thanks to makeup artist Cheon Yuseong's ability to
transform her looks. Now, in addition to the show's cosmetic challenges, the duo must face a
new obstacle: keeping Yeseul's identity a secret on live TV.
To hide her face during broadcasts, Yeseul dons a costume of her favorite bunny character,
Toseul. But the other contestants won't let her fly under the radar so easily - especially not Ju
Heewon, who's still seething after being rejected by Yuseong. Can Yeseul make it through the
next round without being discovered - or worse, sabotaged by another contestant?
Volume 2 collects episodes 15-29 of the webcomic The Makeup Remover.

Román Viktorie Hanišové i její hrdinky je ponorem do hlubin současné společnosti a jejích neuróz.

Flyboy in the Buttermilk
An electrifying collection of essays from legendary cultural critic and Pulitzer Prize-winner Greg Tate
'Easily one of the greatest wordsmiths … [and] the best American writer and thinker of the past forty years' Washington Post
From one of the most original, creative, and provocative writers on American culture comes a now-classic collection of essays, delving 'far and wide into Black music, into film, into the beats and rhyme of culture' (Questlove).
These pieces orbit social, pop cultural, political, and economic subjects-- from the rise of hip-hop, the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the music of Miles Davis, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Brains, and many others, to the crisis of the Black intellectual and the irony of the GOP recruiting Black Americans. With unrivalled flair, Tate writes in a voice that is at once angry, joyous, self-critiquing, and dazzlingly witty.
Tate teaches us 'it is not too late to say too much, to be so dissatisfied with the world as it is that we throw far too many words toward the sky, and see what the heavens throw back' (Hanif Abdurraqib).
I Can't Believe I Don't Have a Boyfriend
Get ready for more romantic tragedies! Patch basically has a boyfriend now, but get ready for him to embark on an even bigger challenge in I Can't Believe I Don't Have a Boyfriend . . . keeping him.
Here's the situation. I recently fell for a charismatic American called Peter, only to realize that his best friend Sam (emotionally intelligent, thoughtful) was the one I actually wanted. In a thrilling twist of fate I found out that they both fancy me! Although they haven’t told each other about their feelings for me (exhausting). You couldn’t make it up! And I really promise I haven’t.
So, to surmise, I have specifically three concerns going into the new year:
Am I in a relationship with Sam?
Have Sam and Peter had a conversation about me?
Is it possible to wear too much moisturiser?
The Housewife
"The Housewife is everything I look for in a thriller: fast-paced with red-hot mounting tension. I was hooked from the very first chapter." - Freida McFadden
From the celebrated author of Finders Keepers comes a brand new, deliciously dark thriller about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.
***
Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears-obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined-and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Natalie Barelli delivers a supercharged, addictive thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish-a must-read for psychological thriller and Freida McFadden fans.

Lichočar
Brno. Rok 1999. Přemysl „Přemek“ Příhoda, doktorand Masarykovy univerzity, si připravuje podklady pro svou doktorskou tezi o tajemném božstvu, proplétajícím se dějinami. Z akademického zájmu se brzy stane touha, pak obsese, a pak… Lichočar, kniha vydaná autorkami ze stejnojmenné witch-folkové kapely, je knihou o putování – Evropou, pověstmi, lidovými vyprávěnkami a starými vírami. Je to kniha o paměti. Individuálních vzpomínkách zachycených v denících a emailech – našeho hrdiny, jeho kolegů, přátel, nepřátel i historických osobností. Ale též paměti krajiny zničené válkou, takové, přes kterou se převalily dějiny a většinu paměti si odnesly. Je to kniha detektivní. Spolu s Přemkem jdeme po stopách čehosi, co si bere jména, podoby a životy. Co způsobuje neštěstí a z rozmaru rozdává nevyžádané dary. Jako refrén celým příběhem zní licho, lichoradka, lichočar… A v neposlední řadě je to kniha o kráse. Kráse hledání i tápání, kráse vědění, kráse slovanské a vůbec evropské mytologie, kráse strachu a přírody. Na pomezí fantastiky, detektivky a exkurze do bájné minulosti stojí Lichočar a vás s potměšilým šklebem zve, abyste ho následovali. Ale pozor. Licho nespí… Licho ví.
The Stone Curse
Fans of dark academy fantasy and enemies-to-lovers tension will devour this gritty romantasy series from Debbie Cassidy. Gargoyles are meant to be unbreakable. Until they aren’t. The attack on the cadets shattered everything I knew. Now the academy is under lockdown, and betrayal bleeds through our ranks. With every secret exposed, my circle of trust shrinks to nothing. The only balm for my grief is vengeance—the promise of bringing down the graynite alpha. But his death will demand more power than I possess. Power that can only be earned by surviving the elite trial. So I’ll seal the fractures in my heart, breathe through the ache in my soul, and fight back. It’s time for retribution. But the path to justice is paved with lies. As secrets unravel, I’m forced to face the one certainty that remains—nothing will ever be the same again.

Neapol. Nový svět na cestách
Vidět Neapol a zemřít? Možná. Neapol je ale lepší prožít.
Neapol je přístav pod Vesuvem, kde se potkává antika s fotbalem, baroko s chaosem, víra s mafií a každodenní život s velkými dějinami. Město, které je krásné i hlučné, vznešené i drsné, a které se nedá zažít jen z mapy nebo televizní obrazovky.
Tři autoři podcastu Nový svět nepíšou průvodce. Píšou o tom, proč Neapol vypadá tak, jak vypadá, a co to říká o Evropě, o civilizaci, o způsobu, jakým dějiny vstupují do každodenního života. Antické základy, španělská nadváda, Bourboni, revoluce, mafie, přistěhovalectví. Vrstva za vrstvou, stále živá.
Tři autoři - egyptolog, historik a publicista, spojují historii, politiku a osobní zkušenost a nabízejí pohled, který přesahuje běžný cestopis.
Nový cestovatelský formát na českém trhu (112 × 162 mm), čte se na cestě, ale nejde jen tak odložit! Propojení historie, politiky a osobní zkušenosti v jednom svazku.
První díl série, která pokračuje dalšími světovými městy.

The Fatal Eggs
What begins as a miracle of science soon turns into a nightmare...
After a plague wipes out all of Russia’s chickens, eyes fall on zoologist Periskov and his strange discovery that promises to revive their population. But quickly, the state’s attempt to control nature spirals rapidly out of control, and soon all of Moscow is under siege by creatures they hadn’t bargained for. The Fatal Eggs is Mikhail Bulgakov’s savage, darkly comic tale of progress gone wrong. Blending satire with science fiction, it captures the dangers of unchecked power – and the absurdity of believing that catastrophe can be neatly managed.

The Loft
An Austrian housewife sits in her loft intent on her drawings of birds and insects. Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post...

The Anniversary
'On that day, ten years ago, I saw my parents for the last time. Since then I've changed phone numbers, houses, continents, I've erected an impregnable wall and put an ocean between us. They've been the best ten years of my life.'
A son is celebrating a bittersweet anniversary. It is a decade since he saw his parents: the father who ruled through petty acts of intimidation and fear, the mother who silently accepted it, fitting herself in the spaces around others' lives. As he looks back, he recalls the airless family home, unsettled only by the ringing of a telephone, or a visitor who was soon rejected. And he remembers how he became possessed by the irrepressible desire to be free, to live his own life. But can you ever escape the grip of your origins?
At once unflinchingly honest and razor sharp, The Anniversary is above all a novel of liberation which dismantles the tyranny of the family. It becomes a mirror in which we glimpse something that, even if we have not known it, affects us all.
