Here, a handful of buildings on the River Deben become a stage on which centuries unfold: church and quay, graveyard and marsh, the traces of smuggling, slavery, war and work lingering in the air. As Shand Kydd walks the familiar fifty-minute circuit with his lurcher, he encounters a landscape alive with memory – Suffolk Punches and Black Poplars, otters, barn owls and vanished nightingales – and haunted by the stories of his own family. Ramsholt is both love letter and lament, a powerful meditation on memory, nature, and the importance of home.

Winner of the André Simon Food Book Award Shortlisted for the Fortnum & Mason Food Book Award ‘Extraordinary’ TELEGRAPH ? 'Delightful' GUARDIAN 'Bee Wilson is one of my favourite writers and this may be her best book' CHRIS VAN TULLEKEN This strikingly original account from award-winning food writer Bee Wilson charts how everyday objects take on deeply personal meanings in all our lives. One ordinary day, the tin in which Bee Wilson baked her wedding cake fell to the ground at her feet. This should have been unremarkable, except that her marriage had just ended. Unsettled by her own feelings about the heart-shaped tin, Wilson begins a search for others who have attached strong and even magical meanings to kitchen objects. She meets people who deal with grief or pain by projecting emotions onto certain objects, whether it is a beloved parent’s salt shaker, a cracked pasta bowl or an inherited china dinner service. Remembering her own mother, a dementia sufferer, she explores the ways that both of them have been haunted by deciding which kitchen utensils to hold on to and which to get rid of when you think you are losing your mind. Looking to different continents, cultures and civilisations to investigate the full scope of this phenomenon, Wilson blends her own experiences with a series of touching personal stories that reflect the irrational and fundamentally human urge to keep mementos. Why would a man trapped in a concentration camp decide to make a spoon for himself? Why do some people hoard? What do gifts mean? How do we decide what is junk and what is treasure? We see firsthand how objects can contain hidden symbols, keep the past alive and even become powerful symbols of identity and resistance; from a child’s first plate to a refugee’s rescued vegetable corers. Thoughtful, tender and beautifully written, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a moving examination of love, loss, broken cups and the legacy of things we all leave behind. ‘With candour and intelligence, Wilson highlights how the props of domestic life become markers of the progress of our lives, but more movingly she probes that it’s possible to recover from heartache with gusto’ The Times & Sunday Times Books of the Year 2025 ‘Fascinating and also tender’ Diana Henry ‘This beautifully written book about the deep significance of certain objects in our kitchen – is nothing less than an intense, compassionate expression of the human condition … Both intimate and expansive, The Heart-Shaped Tin is a book I know I’ll give, urgently and importantly, to those I love’ Nigella Lawson ‘Very few food writers can do what Bee does. It made me think again – and with more tenderness – about the kitchen objects that I ordinarily take for granted. These are the human stories embedded in our material culture, and Bee brings them effortlessly to life’ Ruby Tandoh 'Heart-wrenching and heart-warming in equal measure. No one is so good at capturing the everyday magic of kitchens, cooking and life as Bee Wilson' Letitia Clark ‘Bee Wilson has changed the landscape of the kitchen by breathing life into ordinary objects. Through this remarkable book you will find yourself discovering meaning in plates, sadness in spoons, love in a measuring cup. I want to give this book to every cook I know’ Ruth Reichl 'A moving and fascinating exploration of the vital role played by household objects in our love of home and family' Sophie Hannah

'Acutely empathetic, thoroughly researched, funny, irreverent and moving' Observer'What a book!' Marianne Levy, author of Don't Forget to Scream'I loved it' Lucy Jones, author of Matrescence In Second Life, Hess tells her deeply personal story of a pregnancy that falls outside the feted category of 'normal'. But this is also a story about all of us. For as she made her way through a bizarre digital world of pregnancy apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, 'freebirth' influencers and hospital reality shows, Hess realised that ideas of eugenics, surveillance, ableism and hyper-individualism are being sold through shiny technologies to a new generation of parents.

'When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it.' Sharon OldsThe Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poet's work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plath's first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plath's extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in literary history.

Kniha Disonance a fata morgána je závěrečnou částí dlouhodobého projektu mapujícího českou literaturu 20. století, stejně jako metodologické možnosti, jimiž v současnosti disponuje literární historie. Projekt byl zahájen v roce 2010 publikací Dějiny nové moderny. Česká literatura v letech 1905–1923 a pokračoval pak dalšími díly: Lomy vertikál. Česká literatura v letech 1924–1934 (2014), Věk horizontál. Česká literatura v letech 1935–1947 (2017) a Chór a disonance. Česká literatura 1947–1963 (2022). Aktuální svazek se věnuje období od roku 1964 do roku 1971. Titul odkazuje k specifické charakteristice periody, která je typická kontradikcemi a paradoxy. Krátké období, v němž individualistické hlasy vítězily nad režimní „chóričností“ a otevíraly výhled do velkého světa svobody, bylo přerušeno drastickými událostmi okupace v srpnu 1968 a následnou „normalizací“. Víra v nově nabývanou svobodu se ukázala na dlouhý čas jako iluze, jako fata morgána, která vyvstane na obzoru a náhle zase zmizí. V jednotlivých kapitolách věnovaných českému i evropskému myšlení, poezii, próze, dramatu, významu překladové literatury, myšlení o literatuře, ale také roli dobového filmu či populární kultury, se autoři převážně z okruhu Centra novější české literatury Filozofické fakulty Jihočeské univerzity a pražského Ústavu české literatury a komparatistiky Filozofické fakulty UK pokoušejí záměrně metodologicky odlišným způsobem uchopit historicky různorodě založené situace. A to jak v kontextu dobových filozofických a estetických úvah a konkrétních uměleckých postupů, tak z hlediska reflexe dobové situace naplněné očekáváním, tvůrčím a myšlenkovým entuziasmem, ale také frustrací a planými iluzemi. – Vychází ve spolupráci s Filozofickou fakultou Jihočeské univerzity v Českých Budějovicích.

Knižní vydání souboru zásadních aktuálních rozhodnutí českých soudů zaměřených na právo rodiny, jak konstatuje iniciátorka projektu a prezidentka Unie rodinných advokátů Daniela Kovářová, v našich krajích prakticky neexistuje – jediná dosažitelná publikace je desetiletí stará a dotýká se jen vztahů rodičů a dětí. Publikace „Judikatura práva rodiny – čtvrtý doplněk“ navazuje na předchozí publikace ediční řady a zahrnuje části nazvané Rodičovství, otcovství a mateřství, Participační práva dětí, Výživné, Procesní otázky, Společné jmění manželů, Úprava styku, Majetkové otázky práva rodiny, Správní a trestní otázky práva rodiny. Přesahuje tedy hranice samotného oboru rodinného práva a přináší široké spektrum odpovědí.

Neoficiální agent Winter se hodlá vypořádat s dobře organizovaným zlem, kterému se daří nejen v podsvětí pochybných podniků, drogových dealerů a pasáků, ale i nebezpečně blízko našim každodenním životům. Při pátrání po zmizelé sotva patnáctileté studentce Pavle se ocitá ve spirále násilí, v prostředí, kde platí zákony mnohem tvrdší než staré dobré „zub za zub, oko za oko“. Podaří se mu Pavlu najít živou? Přežije sám proti brutální přesile? A kde leží hranice mezi spravedlností a osobní mstou? Ať už ale Wintr lavíruje nad jakoukoli propastí, nikdy ho neopouští jeho břitký jazyk – dar i prokletí, které mu přináší převahu i komplikace v těch nejméně vhodných chvílích. 5 kajícných je neortodoxní detektivka, temná, provokativní, plná intelektuálních hříček a ledově mrazivého humoru, balancující na hraně absurdity. Od první stránky udržuje čtenáře v napětí a zároveň ho nutí přemýšlet, zda lze temnotu porazit, aniž by se jí člověk sám ušpinil.

Edice obsahuje odbornou i přátelskou korespondenci adresovanou Bohuslavu Havránkovi, přednímu lingvistovi 20. století. Zahrnuje období od roku 1924 do roku 1977. Její hlavní část spadá do čtyřicátých a padesátých let 20. století z pera trojice význačných vědců: Františka Trávníčka, Vladimíra Šmilauera a Bohuslava Havránka (jim úspěšně sekunduje lexikograf Alois Získal). Jejich práce, zájmy i osudy se v listech protínají a po válce vyhrocují; tvoří zajímavou i objevnou část celé korespondence a dokumentují, někdy i bouřlivě a bojovně, vývoj české lingvistiky v soudobých měnících se politických poměrech. Druhým tematickým okruhem korespondence jsou pak listy Havránkových žáků: Miloše Dokulila, Karla Horálka, Františka Kopečného a Oldřicha Králíka; jsou zaměřeny individuálněji, a i když zachycují řadu momentů reagujících na společenské události, dotýkají se převážně vědecké práce, často v souvislosti s konzultací či prosbou o pomoc při řešení problémů osobního i profesního charakteru. Kniha vychází k 100. výročí založení Pražského lingvistického kroužku.
