Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing
*THE INCREDIBLE COMEBACK STORY OF THE 2025 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPION*Marc Márquez is the apex predator of the MotoGP world: arguably the greatest motorcycle racer who ever lived, he is a nine-time world champion. He is the man who dethroned Valentino Rossi, and who changed the sport of MotoGP forever. Márquez's hyper aggressive riding style has made him many enemies, his epic championship battle with Valentino Rossi in 2015 led to one of the most controversial moments in the history of MotoGP and his closely-fought battle with his brother, Alex, for the 2025 title capped off an astonishing sporting comeback story. But his story off the track is just as incredible: devastating accidents, surgeries and recoveries, racing on despite a diagnosis that left him knowing one more head injury could leave him blind. His self-admittedly ruthless personality and desire to win make him an explosive, dominant and at times controversial character. Told by bestselling author Stuart Barker, with the insight of rivals, team members, pundits, managers and many close to his story, this is the a story of pure sporting theatre and white-knuckle speed twinned with real human drama. Marc Marquez: Everything or Nothing is the Márquez told in full for the very first time.
The Things We Never Say
Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad-at himself and the people around him-and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?
And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear-and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence.
With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart.

Thirst
John Robins is a critically acclaimed stand-up comedian, Taskmaster champion, and an award-winning broadcaster. He is also an alcoholic.
But what does that mean? What is an alcoholic?
In Thirst, John tells the story of his life through the lens of alcohol, the drinks that made him, and those that broke him. From his earliest drinking experiences - pretending to be drunk after a sip of champagne aged five, spraying aftershave into his mouth at the school play afterparty, and university nights spent downing red wine alone in his room - to his last drink in 2022 and the journey into sobriety that followed, John explores our relationship with alcohol through reflections on decades of his own drinking.
From hazy memory to sudden clarity he sheds light on subjects from mental health to friendship, from creativity to the lies we tell ourselves, and answers questions such as: are alcoholics born or made? How can we make sense of youthful missteps? And can Buddhism provide relief when dealing with haemorrhoids?
Filled with insights and epiphanies from the world of addiction and recovery, Thirst blends John's trademark raw honesty and hilarious digressions with the collective wisdom of alcoholics and those around them to offer a compelling, powerful and morbidly funny narrative for anyone who has ever asked 'why do we drink?', 'why do I drink?' or 'do I drink too much?'.
Moneymania
The anonymous author of TAXTOPIA takes us behind the scenes as he embarks on another part of his career, this time recruited as an economist into an industry that believes the world of money can be predicted with almost scientific accuracy. Instead, he discovers that economics has long been driven by vested interests, reckless predictions and a staggering lack of common sense.
In MONEYMANIA we find out why mortgages cost more because of a casual remark made in New Zealand in the '80s, and ask whether the Age of Austerity was due to a simple spreadsheet error. We also learn that if America behaved more like Iceland, they would have put 32,000 bankers in prison.
The Rebel Accountant strips away the complexities of economics, showing us how the profession is responsible for some of the greatest mistakes of all time - and leaves us wondering how they got away with it.
This is MONEYMANIA.

Blueprints
Many artists are unaware of the mathematics that bubble beneath their craft, while some consciously use it for inspiration. Our instincts might tell us that these two subjects are incompatible forces with nothing in common, but what if we’re wrong?
Marcus du Sautoy, acclaimed mathematician and Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford, looks to art, music, design and literature to uncover the key mathematical structures that underpin both human creativity and the natural world.
Blueprints takes us from the earliest stone circles to the modernist architecture of Le Corbusier, from Bach’s circular compositions to Radiohead’s disruptive soundscapes, and from Shakespeare’s hidden numerical clues to the Dada artists who embraced randomness. Instead of polar opposites we find a complementary relationship that spans a vast historical and geographic landscape.
Whether we are searching for meaning in an abstract painting or deciphering poetry, there are blueprints everywhere: prime numbers, symmetry, fractals and the weirder worlds of Hamiltonian cycles and hyperbolic geometry. Nature similarly exploits these structures to achieve the wonders of our universe.
In this innovative and delightfully bold exploration of creativity, Marcus explains how we make art, why a creative mindset is vital for discovering new mathematics and how a fundamental connection to the natural world intrinsically links these two subjects.

Vysocí muži jen neradi tančí
Hudba jako útočiště. Vášeň jako osud. životopisný román o Hanuši Wihanovi, violoncellistovi, který dokázal proměnit ticho v hlas a obyčejný tón v pravdu o člověku. Z Police nad Metují vede jeho cesta přes orchestry evropských měst a pražskou konzervatoř až k založení Českého kvarteta – tělesa, kde hudba přestává být Kariérou a stává se řečí duše. Kniha pulzuje emocemi přelomu 19. a 20. století: radostí z hudby, vnitřní samotou, neklidem doby i hlubokým kontrastem mezi Evropou a českým světem plným skrytých sporů. Ty se však v hudbě rozpouštějí – nebo zůstávají nevyslovené, protože skutečné soustředění patří tónu, nikoli hluku kolem.
Autor Pavel Frydrych, stejně jako Hanuš Wihan rodák z Police nad Metují, vypráví příběh muže, který nemusel tančit, aby dokázal pohnout světem.
Pevnost kořenů
Sbírka Pevnost kořenů přináší básně prostoupené tichem krajiny, hloubkou víry i naléhavostí současného světa. Autorka Marie Dolistová ve verších citlivě zachycuje proměny přírody, lidského nitra i času, který plyne mezi zrozením a odchodem. Motivy lesa, putování a světla se zde prolínají s otázkami smyslu, utrpení i naděje. Vedle meditativních a duchovně laděných básní se ve sbírce objevují i silné reflexe aktuálních událostí a bolestí světa, které kontrastují s tichou krásou haiku a obrazností přírodních scenérií. Pevnost kořenů je knihou o hledání pevného bodu v nejistém světě – o návratu k podstatě, k víře, k tichu, které dokáže nést i v časech zkoušek.
