Už ti nikdy viac nepoviem ocko
Hanba musí zmeniť stranu.
Proces, ktorý otriasa svetom. Matka, ktorá je oslavovaná ako ikona. Otec, ktorého nazývajú monštrom. Dcéra, ktorá bojuje o prežitie. Pretože je súčasťou zločinu, v ktorom sú jej rodičia obeťami aj páchateľmi. Toto je jej príbeh.
Caroline Darianová, dcéra Dominiquea Pelicota a Gis?le Pelicotovej, 2. novembra 2020 zdvihla telefón. Na druhej strane sa ozval náčelník polície z Carpentras a oznámil jej, že policajti zadržali jej otca a zabavili jeho počítač. To, čo v ňom našli, bolo nepredstaviteľné: od roku 2013 drogoval svoju manželku a ponúkal ju cudzím mužom, zatiaľ čo bola v bezvedomí. Za tieto stretnutia nežiadal žiadnu odmenu.
Existujú aj osudové fotografie Caroline. Rovnako ako jej matka si ani ona nepamätá na nespočetné znásilnenia. Caroline Darianová s mimoriadnou odvahou rozpráva o páde do bezodnej priepasti. V denníku opisuje, ako rozsah zločinu storočia zničil jej rodinu. Ako chce chrániť svoju matku a zároveň bojuje s úzkosťou. Ako sa z milovaného otca stal brutálny násilník. Ako vysvetľuje svojmu synovi, že už nemá starého otca. Caroline sa snaží pochopiť, ako mohlo dôjsť k niečomu tak nepredstaviteľnému.Táto kniha je svedectvom o násilí, o chemickom podrobení a o temnej sile, ktorú dokáže zneužívať domáca lekárnička.
"Nesiem si strašné bremeno: som dieťaťom obete a zároveň dieťaťom páchateľa. Už roky sa snažím vybudovať si nový život. V jedinom okamihu som prišla o všetky istoty, na ktorých stála moja identita. Môj svet sa zrútil do priepasti. Minulosť sa zosypala, ale čo prinesie budúcnosť? Čo si má človek predstaviť ďalej, keď mu osud rozdá takéto karty? Počas dvoch rokov po otcovom zatknutí sme sa ako rodina potácali v temnom labyrinte. Každé otvorené dvere odhalili nové hrôzy a za nimi ďalšie chodby, ďalšie zločiny, ktoré sa tiahli čoraz hlbšie do minulosti. Každé odhalenie prinieslo len ďalšie otázky. Márne som sa snažila pochopiť, kým v skutočnosti bol muž, ktorý ma vychoval. Ešte aj dnes sa pýtam, ako je možné, že som si nič nevšimla. Nič netušila. Roky mamu trýznil, a to mu nikdy neodpustím. A predsa... obraz otca, o ktorom som si kedysi myslela, že poznám, sa mi stále vracia. Žije vo mne. Je ukrytý v pozadí, no až príliš často sa prediera na povrch.
Mojím cieľom je týmto svedectvom upozorniť aj na málo známu, no nesmierne nebezpečnú realitu chemickej manipulácie – nielen vo Francúzsku, ale po celom svete. Táto pliaga sa neobmedzuje len na „drogu znásilnenia“ podanú v bare. Niekedy sa ukrýva v našich vlastných domácich lekárničkách. A nezneužívajú ju len neznámi útočníci, avšak ľudia, ktorým sme kedysi dôverovali. Benzodiazepíny (alebo anxiolytiká), lieky na spanie a mnohé iné psychoaktívne látky stoja za množstvom sexuálnych útokov a zasahujú všetky spoločenské a profesijné vrstvy."
Od vydania svojho svedectva založila občianske združenie Zastavme chemické podrobenie (#Mendorspas), ktoré je oporou pre obete a vzdeláva zdravotnícky personál v tejto oblasti. Táto nová edícia obsahuje aj doteraz nevydaný predslov, ktorý Caroline napísala v predvečer procesu so svojím otcom.
Silný, odvážny a nezabudnuteľný hlas, ktorý odhaľuje temnú stránku násilia páchaného na ženách a ukazuje, aká dôležitá je odvaha postaviť sa mu.
Podsvětí Chicaga 6: Těžká koruna
Když Sebastian Gallo zahlédl, jak ji ten chlap cpe do kufru, nemohl tomu uvěřit. Byla to Jelena Jenina, jediná dcera nejkrutějšího šéfa Bratvy v Chicagu. Bratva nenávidí celou Sebastianovu rodinu a jeho strýčka dokonce upálili zaživa.
Měl Jelenu ponechat jejímu osudu, ale ona bojovala jako Valkýra – nádherná, divoká a nezlomná. Sebastian ji musel zachránit. A poté, co to mezi nimi velmi silně zajiskřilo, je mu jasné, že si ji musí také podmanit.
Jelena je odhodlaná nepodrobit se žádnému muži. Na druhou stranu ji už ale nebaví být pěšákem v otcově hře. Zatímco jejich rodiny vedou nelítostný boj po celém městě, hýbou figurkami na šachovnici a přísahají si pomstu, Sebastian se rozhodne, že bude zápasit o její srdce a svobodu – ať to stojí, co to stojí.
Ví, že jsou si souzeni.
A aby to dokázal, dotlačí ji až na hranici možností.

All Rhodes Lead Here - Minden út hozzád vezet
Egy kisváros a hegyekben. Egy második esély. Egy szerelem, ami hazavezet. Aurora De La Torre pontosan tudja, hogy nem lesz egyszerű visszaköltözni a coloradói Pagosa Springsbe. Valaha ez volt az otthona, most azonban édesanyja elvesztésének fájó emlékét őrzi. Mindent újrakezdeni enélkül sem lenne egyszerű feladat. De miután hosszú idő után szakított híres zenész pasijával, egy hegyi kisváros tökéletes menedék lehet összetört szívének. És talán a szomszédban lakó vonzó főbérlője látványa is segíthet a gyógyulásban. Csakhogy nem is Tobias Rhodes adta ki neki a lakást, hanem a kamasz fia, Amos. Rhodes mogorva, zárkózott férfi, aki vérmesen óvja a családját, és nem bízik az idegenekben, így kezdetben igyekszik távol tartani magától a mindig derűs Orát. Ám a közös erdei túrák és kandalló melletti hosszú beszélgetések lassan lebontják a falakat köztük – és szoros barátságuk hamarosan életre szóló szerelemmé mélyül. A slow burn romantikus könyvek királynője, Mariana Zapata újdonsága arról mesél, hogyan talál rá az ember a szerelemre a legváratlanabb pillanatban…

Luxusní klec
Prodat své panenství?
Ten nápad mě zaujal už ve chvíli, kdy jsem četla o Američance, která to udělala. Získala svobodu, peníze i jistotu. Tak proč bych nemohla i já? Chudá holka přece nemá co ztratit. Jenže nabídka, která mi přistála v emailu, nebyla obyčejná. Zalíbila jsem se bohatému šejkovi – a on je zvyklý dostat všechno, co chce.
Neomezený luxus, opulentní svět Orientu a přepych, jaký si neumím ani představit… Stačí jen trocha lásky. Nebo spíš poslušnosti?

The Seven OClock Club
At seven oclock one Tuesday evening, in a perfectly ordinary London tower block, Callum, Freya, Mischa and Victoria meet for the first time. They have three things in common: all have suffered a traumatic experience; all of them cannot seem to put it behind them; and they have all accepted an invitation to attend a counselling session with the unconventional Genevieve - a determined woman with an unusual theory to test.
Connections form, friendship, and even love, begins to bloom as the group all work towards a brighter future that leaves their pasts behind them. But there is a reason these four people have been brought together - and they are all about to be forced to make some unexpected - and, for some, impossible - decisions...

Having Spent Life Seeking
Rothko Taylor has washed up with the tide, back in their hometown, Edgecliff. Fifteen years since they left it behind.
The past is accelerating towards them: the skateboard kids on the high street that remind them of their teenage years, the splintered benches looking out to sea, where their mum Meg clutched her cans. The nice bit of town, where their dad Ezra tried and failed to build a happy home. And Dionne's block. Beautiful, extraordinary Dionne, the only person who had ever looked at them and seen what was there.
Back then, overwhelmed and full of fear, they sank beneath the surface into chaos. But they made it out alive. And this time, Rothko is determined that things will be different.
A decade since Kae Tempest's last novel, Having Spent Life Seeking is about family and forgiveness; redemption and atonement; desire and abandon; selfhood and community. This book is about things we seek when we are hiding, and what finds us, if we can let ourselves be seen.
A Guide to Southern Utah's Hole-in-the-Rock Trail
New Edition! In 1879, 230 settlers in southwestern Utah heeded the call from leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to pull up stakes and move to the distant San Juan country of southeastern Utah. Their year-long journey became one of the most extraordinary wagon trips ever undertaken in North America, their trail one of peril, difficulty, and spectacular vistas. Beginning in Cedar City, Utah, this trail crosses today’s Dixie National Forest, skirts Bryce Canyon National Park, bisects the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, crosses the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, and comes close to Natural Bridges National Monument on its way to Bluff, Utah. Though the trail that these devoted pioneers broke across raw frontier was used for several years afterward, no highway was built over most of the route because it was deemed too rugged for modern vehicles. In addition to the historical value of the story of these pioneers, this guide includes road logs, maps, and hiking trails along the historic trail. It also points out fascinating natural history along the way, making A Guide to Southern Utah’s Hole-in-the-Rock Trail a significant reference for a variety of readers.
A Four-Eyed World
An engaging and informative cultural history of glasses that explores their origins, stigmas, future in technology, and more. Eyeglasses have become so commonplace we hardly think about them—unless we can’t find them. Yet glasses have been controversial throughout history. Roger Bacon pioneered using lenses to see and then spent a decade in a medieval prison for advocating that he could “fix” God’s creations by improving our eyesight. Even today, people take off their glasses before having their picture taken, despite how necessary they are. A Four-Eyed World: How Glasses Changed the Way We See is the first book to investigate the experience of wearing glasses and contacts and their role in culture. David King Dunaway encourages readers to take a look at how they literally see the world through what they wear. He explores everything from the history of deficient eyesight and how glasses are made to portrayals of those who wear glasses in media, the stigma surrounding them, and the future of augmented and virtual reality glasses, highlighting how glasses have shaped, and continue to shape, who we are. Interwoven is Dunaway’s own experience of spending a week without his glasses, which he has used since childhood, to see the world around him and his newfound appreciation for his visual aids. This is the story of how we see the world and how our ability to see things has evolved, ultimately asking: How have two cloudy, quarter-sized discs of crystal or glass originally riveted together become so essential to human existence? Shakespeare famously said eyes are windows to the soul, but what about people who see only by covering theirs with glasses? Readers will find out together through this fascinating and insightful cultural history of one of humanity’s greatest inventions.

Decisions on Western Waters
The long-running Decisions Series tackles the Brown Water Navy. At the outset of the Civil War, General Winfield Scott drafted the Anaconda Plan, an ambitious strategy to blockade southern ports and use army forces supported by naval gunboats to secure control of the Mississippi River for the Union, effectively dividing the Confederacy in two. Over the course of the campaign, General Grant's ground forces closely cooperated with river forces under the leadership of Flag Officers Andrew H. Foote and David Dixon Porter, as well as Rear Admiral David Farragut, to successfully seize Confederate strongholds along the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Their gunboats and ironclads became known as the Brown Water Navy. This long, successful Federal campaign succeeded in opening the Mississippi River with the capture of New Orleans and the Confederate capitulation of Vicksburg. Decisions on Western Waters explores the critical decisions made by Confederate and Federal politicians and commanders during the campaign that shaped its outcome. Rather than offering a linear history of the campaign, Michael D. Becker homes in on decisions made by both sides of the contest to provide a clear blueprint of the campaign development and conduct at its tactical core. Exploring the decisions in this manner allows students of the campaign to progress from a knowledge of what happened to a mature grasp of why events happened. Complete with maps and a driving tour, Decisions on Western Waters is an indispensable primer to the campaign on the western waterways, and readers looking for a concise introduction to the battles can tour this sacred ground—or read about it at their leisure—with key insights into the campaign and a deeper understanding of the Civil War itself. Decisions on Western Waters is the twenty-third in a series of books that explores the critical decisions of major campaigns and battles of the Civil War.
Fighting the Sultan's War
From 1965 to 1976, the Dhofar War was being fought in southern Oman - a conflict wherein the Omani government, led by Sultan Said bin Taimur, and later his son Sultan Qaboos, fought against the Dhofar Liberation Front (DLF), a Marxist insurgency group who wanted to overthrow the Sultan's rule and establish a communist government. The conflict escalated in the 1970s, with Sultan Qaboos receiving military support from Britain and Iran. By 1975, the government forces, with the help of British and Iranian troops, defeated the insurgents, securing the region and stabilizing Sultan Qaboos's rule. Major David Freeman was a one of those British troops - a British Infantry Officer who was seconded to the Sultan of Oman’s Forces in the 1970s. Major Freeman has recorded his experience of this conflict - the operations, the tactics, the successes and the struggles - in extraordinary detail, covering the last year of the war in 1975 and the first six months of 1976 in the still active eastern sector of Dhofar. Fighting the Sultan's War is an eye-opening first-hand account of one of the lesser-known ‘small wars’ of the Cold War era, and should not be missed by any military history enthusiast. David Freeman's memoir was transcribed by his son, Alex Freeman. Born in 1967 into a military family, Alex was educated in the West Country and commissioned into the British Army in 1986. He served as an infantry officer with the Queen’s Lancashire Regiment and The Royal Welch Fusiliers, seeing active service in Northern Ireland, Germany, the Middle East, Africa, and Bosnia. After two decades in uniform, he left the Army in 2006 to pursue an MBA and a career in business.
