Zloději těl
Mladý šlechtic James Willoughby přijíždí do Edinburghu studovat medicínu. Tamní univerzita nabízí vše, po čem touží – kromě možnosti pitvat lidské tělo. Musí se tedy přihlásit na jednu ze soukromých škol, kterou si však z finančních důvodů nemůže dovolit.
V zoufalství uzavře dohodu s asistentem proslulého anatoma Aneurinem „Nyem“ MacKinnonem, který mu nabídne práci a tím i přístup ke studiu. James si však brzy uvědomí, že uzavřel smlouvu s ďáblem. Nye totiž patří k vykradačům hrobů. James je Nyem okouzlený a přidá se k jeho skupině nechvalně známé krádežemi mrtvol sloužících jako anatomické vzorky. James se tedy stává zlodějem těl, a nejenže je od té doby neustále jednou nohou ve vězení, ale navíc se spolu s Nyem a jeho lidmi ocitne uprostřed války zlodějských gangů, které se neštítí ani chladnokrevné vraždy.
Bajka o včelách 2
18. prosince 1728 vyšel Druhý díl Bajky o včelách. Na rozdíl od Prvního dílu nešlo o kompilací rozličných textů různých žánrů, jejichž sepsání by trvalo čtrnáct let.
Naopak, i když jsou oba díly stejně rozsáhlé, ten druhý byl napsán najednou v jediném žánru jako šest dialogů mezi Horatiem a Kleomenem střízlivě a tentokrát bez rétorické hyperboly vykládá Mandevillovy názory na vznik jazyka, společenskosti člověka a spontánního řádu v sociálních institucích, čímž předjímá mnohé myšlenky Davida Huma, Charlese Darwina a Friedricha Hayeka.

Mystical Power and Politics on the Swahili Coast
Traces changing visions of mystical power and authority on the island of Pemba, whose people's reputed resistance to outside rule has shaped the national narratives of both Zanzibar and Tanzania. For two centuries, Pemba, the second largest island of Zanzibar, has been known by East Africans and outsiders alike as rich in dangerous knowledge. Despite Pembans' reputation for piety and deep Islamic knowledge,uchawi- 'mystical work and power', sometimes termed 'magic', 'witchcraft', or 'sorcery' - has long featured in diverse visions of their identity and as key to worldly power. Today, as traditional methods of securing agency are called into question and new ways proliferate, the mystical world is an intensely conflicted realm where the nature of power, ethical action, and reality itself is continually reframed. This luminous ethnography follows Pemban notions of invisible and worldly power through the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964, the trials of multiparty democracy, the rise of Islamic revival, and intensifying neoliberalism. Through an exploration of rural imaginings of power, it argues that nations and the grammars that underwrite them are made in and by their peripheries, which give 'the centre' shape. Highlighting the intersections of mystical practices, religion, and politics-as-such on the Swahili Coast, the book contributes new perspectives to studies of the imagination, power, and religious transformation in Africa, the Indian Ocean, and the larger Islamic world.

Cool Machine
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

Az utolsó szimulákrum
A hatalom csak eggyel osztható.
A háború dúlta Földön a sors és a körülmények egy különös csoportot hoznak össze: egy fasisztát, aki államcsínyt tervez, egy zongoristát, aki az elméjével játszik a hangszeren, egy first ladyt, aki mindent a kezében akar tartani, és az utolsó praktizáló pszichiátert. Miközben a társadalom tetején állók a hatalomért marakodnak, az elnyomott alsó osztály kezd magához térni a kábaságból, egyre többet kérdez, és egyre inkább helyzete és ereje tudatára ébred.
Philip K. Dick regényében összeesküvés összeesküvést ér, miközben úgy olvashatunk történetet időutazásról, pszichoterápiáról, telekinézisről, androidokról és neandervölgyi mutánsokról, ahogy soha korábban.
