Mézi és a varázsüveg
"Már a gondolattól is, hogy iskolába kell mennie, Mézi maci nagyon elszomorodik. Anya és Apa azonban tudják, hogyan segítsenek: egy különleges meglepetéssel készülnek, hogy eloszlassák a bocs szorongását. Ez a titokzatos befőttesüveg tele van színes csomagocskákkal, és mindegyik egy-egy apró, kifejezetten neki szóló szeretetüzenetet rejt...
Ez a könyv gyengéden dolgozza fel a szülőről való leválás témáját. Tökéletes választás az iskolakezdéshez, hiszen emlékezteti a kicsiket arra, hogy szeretteink gondoskodása akkor is velünk marad, amikor épp távol vagyunk tőlük."
Smrtelně raněný
Hledání ztraceného času v Neapoli, ve městě, které vás „smrtelně raní, nebo vás uspí, anebo obojí současně“.
Mladý absolvent práv Massimo De Luca se chystá odejít z rodného města, ve kterém vždy „vítězí Příroda nad Historií“. Zároveň by ale chtěl ještě jednou prožít „krásný den“, který je v jeho vzpomínce spjat se sluncem, s mořem a s věkem naděje, kdy na jeho život ještě nedopadl temný stín Velké promarněné šance. Smrtelně raněný, román, za nějž Raffaele La Capria získal v roce 1961 významnou Cenu Strega, je dnes už klasickým dílem moderní italské literatury. A přestože se čtenáři zpočátku trochu vzpírá – vrhá ho do víru vnitřních monologů, unáší ho v proudu vědomí, pohupuje jím jako ve vlnách mezi několika letními dny od závěru druhé světové války až do jedné neděle roku 1954, kdy se Massimo se svým městem loučí –, zároveň ho uhrane svou sugestivní atmosférou stesku i radosti, bezstarostnosti i úzkosti, energie i ochromení, vitality i prázdnoty.
Poválečná Neapol, která se v rukou stavebních spekulantů a zkorumpovaných politiků marně pokouší stát moderním velkoměstem, okolní letoviska a ostrovy, jež jsou dějištěm sladkého života smetánky z celého světa, kluby a bary, kde zlatá mládež řeší zásadní otázku, zda je lepší šampaňské značky Veuve Cliquot, či Pommery, věčné neapolské mládí, které zdegeneruje v senilní stáří, aniž prošlo katarzí dospělosti a zodpovědnosti, Massimovy návraty, jež jsou jen opakující se honbou za přeludem, za časem, který už může nalézt jedině ve snu. Opojný koktejl La Capriova textu ovlivnil řadu významných umělců, jedním z jeho velkých obdivovatelů je režisér Paolo Sorrentino, který svému krajanovi a jeho tvorbě vzdává hold skoro v každém svém filmu.

The Secret History of Gold
Gold (noun): A precious, yellow metal, prized for its beauty. Inert, immune to corrosion, highly malleable though with little utility. Seen as pure wealth.
The definitive biography of the metal that has shaped our world - and may yet determine its fate.
The Secret History of Gold tells the epic tale of the world's oldest, and most treasured, currency. From its origins in the formation of the solar system to its pivotal role in both ancient myth and modern finance, Dominic Frisby explores, with wit and brevity, how gold has defined the entire course of human civilisation.
Gold has inspired men to do the most brilliant - and terrible - things. The most stolen metal in history, it has lured explorers, conquerors and thieves. It has sparked wars, it has built empires, it has empowered leaders - from Alexander the Great to Adolf Hitler - good and bad. As nations today such as China and Russia mine and hoard gold at record rates, Frisby examines its enduring significance in the digital age and its potential to influence global peace and power.
This is the untold story of gold: its past, its present and its future.

Steeped in folklore, mythology, magic and religion, The Book of Beasts tells the story of our shapeshifting relationships with animals, from reverence to persecution, friendship to fear, awe to indifference.

Homo Criminalis
Crime doesn't just pay, it tells. What we choose to ban, penalise or prosecute says something about us; and how far the mobsters and mafias are still able to ply their trades says something about us, too.
Homo Criminalis tells a thrilling tale of the world's changing values, the rise of the state and the emergence of modern society, through the evolution of the underworld and its crimes. From Chinese banditry and eighteenth-century English tea smuggling to today's cocaine submarines and the high-tech crimes of tomorrow, this book aims to shows just how far society has changed - and how crime has changed with us.
Often considered marginal or an aberration, we'll see how the power structures and power struggles of the criminal world have actually worked to drive progress, forming the necessary dark underbelly of humanity's evolution.
The Bells of Nagasaki
‘A book that everyone should read’ The Times
A harrowing, heart-rending first-hand account of the bombing of Nagasaki – and the acts of human kindness left in its wake.
On 9th August 1945, the Japanese city of Nagasaki is hit by an atomic bomb. Forty thousand people are killed instantly. Doctor Takashi Nagai is not one of them.
Pulling himself, broken and bloodied, from the wreckage that was once the city’s university hospital, Takashi bundles together a tattered group of survivors. Doctors, nurses, students, each with their own losses, their own fears for the future: they work tirelessly at the impossible task of aiding the countless wounded and easing the deaths of those they cannot save. They remain determined to heal their fallen city, to find solace and hope among the rubble, even as a strange and growing sickness begins to claim them.
Eyewitness to one of the most fatal events in human history, this is Takashi’s record, written from his sickbed – a chilling historical document, and undeniable evidence of the capacity for human kindness.
Published now in the UK to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM RICHARD LLOYD PARRY
The Eleventh Hour
Dazzling new short stories from Salman Rushdie that transport us around the world from Bombay neighbourhoods to elite English universities
If old age was thought of as an evening, ending in midnight oblivion, they were well into the eleventh hour.
‘Salman Rushdie is a genius’ A.M. Homes
Two quarrelsome old men in Chennai, India, experience private tragedy during national calamity. Revisiting the Bombay neighbourhood of Midnight's Children, a magical musician is unhappily married to a multibillionaire. In an English university college, an undead academic asks a lonely student to avenge his former tormentor.
These five dazzling works of fiction move between the three countries that Salman Rushdie has called home – India, England and America – and explore what it means to approach the eleventh hour of life.
Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? How can we bid farewell to the places that we have made home? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.
The Memory Police
On an unnamed island, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses. . .
Most of the inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those who remember live in fear of the Memory Police.
To the people on the island, a disappeared thing no longer has any meaning. It can be burned in the garden, thrown in the river, or handed over to the Memory Police. Soon enough, the island forgets it ever existed.
When a young novelist discovers that her editor is in danger of being taken away by the Memory Police, she desperately wants to save him. For some reason, he doesn't forget, and it's becoming increasingly difficult for him to hide his memories. Who knows what will vanish next?
Churchill’s Pirates
BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PATHFINDERS'SUPERB... RICH IN HUMAN DRAMA' James Holland | 'EXCITING AND IMPORTANT'Dan Snow | 'REVELATORY AND THRILLING'Saul David | 'HIS FINEST ACHIEVEMENT YET... THIS IS HISTORY AT FULL THROTTLE'Guy Walters | 'RIGOROUSLY RESEARCHED AND HIGHLY READABLE'Kate Jamieson Just after midnight on Saturday, 2 September 1939, under overcast skies at Wilhelmshaven naval base in north-west Germany, a German U-boat quietly slipped out of its berth and into the North Sea. This was the first of a concentrated onslaught of submarines and airplanes determined to win WW2 by transforming the peaceful shipping lanes and fishing spots around Britain into treacherous mine-studded waters.As those first mines found their marks, capsizing innocent shipping vessels just off the coast, the nation called its men and women to join in its defence. The result was a rag-tag group of sailors and volunteers that came to form a ‘navy within a navy’ – the Royal Naval Patrol Service.These motley crews grew into a force of 70,000 men and women manning and supporting a fleet of 6,000 ships. Using converted fishing vessels, pleasure yachts and trawlers, they cleared sea mines, escorted merchant vessels across frozen northern waters, hunted submarines off the coast of America, undertook secret missions in the Mediterranean and heroically rescued soldiers at Dunkirk, working day and night to keep Britain safe in her darkest hour.Drawing on fascinating first-hand accounts with surviving veterans, exclusive interviews, original papers and new archive material, Will Iredale brings us onto the decks of these small brave ships, onto the beaches where boffins worked to crack German engineering and into clandestine war room meetings where Winston Churchill worked to coordinate the pivotal moments that transformed the war and helped secure victory for the allies to tell the defining story of an overlooked unit of ordinary people that played a pivotal role in saving the country and winning the war.
