Fables & Lies
WWII Berlin. Freyja Bremer, a patriotic museum assistant, marries Kaspar Voigt, an ambitious SS scholar, to protect her father. Yet she is unaware her husband is instrumental in Himmler’s twisted quest for Aryan supremacy. As she strives to safeguard the priceless Priam’s Treasure from air raids, Freyja falls in love with Darien Lessing, an archaeologist who exposes the moral decay beneath the Regime’s myths. Her awakening drives her into perilous resistance – aiding a Jewish doctor and his wife, Darien’s sister – while uncovering Kaspar’s role in the SS’s darkest programmes, which subvert history to justify invasion, abduction and murder. As Berlin collapses into chaos and bloodshed, Freyja, caught between duty, deception and desire, must risk everything to preserve truth in a world built on lies. A heartbreaking yet triumphant love story, Fables & Lies shines light on lesser-known aspects of the Nazi Regime. It gives voice to the complex moral struggles of German women, the forgotten resistance of Gentiles married to Jews, the dangers of contested history, the evils of Himmler’s racial studies programme and the unsung bravery of German museum curators who saved their nation’s treasures.
An Arcane Study of Stars
From breakout star Sydney Shields comes An Arcane Study of Stars, a historical dark academia fantasy filled with ancient secret societies, a swoon-worthy rivals-to-lovers romance and dangerous deals made after dark. Perfect for fans of Heavenly Bodies and The Atlas Six. Claudia Jolicoeur shouldn't be here. When she was rejected from Cygnus, her dream occult university, she was supposed to live out her life as the wife of an old man, a pawn sacrificed for her father's debts. But her celestial magic is rare enough to attract a desperate demon named Dorian, and when he offers her a bargain -- acceptance to Cygnus in exchange for his freedom -- she accepts. As Claudia unravels the mystery of Dorian's prison of stars, the only thing standing in her way is the handsome, cruel academic star of Cygnus: Cassius MacLeod. What begins as a fierce rivalry devolves into something deeper, darker and dangerously sensual. Now caught in the centre of an ancient curse, Claudia must decide who she can trust -- and who she must kill. 'Utterly transportive and thrilling.

Polis
A definitive new history of the origins, evolution, and scope of the ancient Greek city-stateThe Greek polis, or city-state, was a resilient and adaptable political institution founded on the principles of citizenship, freedom, and equality. Emerging around 650 BCE and enduring to 350 CE, it offered a means for collaboration among fellow city-states and social bargaining between a community and its elites—but at what cost? Polis proposes a panoramic account of the ancient Greek city-state, its diverse forms, and enduring characteristics over the span of a millennium. In this landmark book, John Ma provides a new history of the polis, charting its spread and development into a common denominator for hundreds of communities from the Black Sea to North Africa and from the Near East to Italy. He explores its remarkable achievements as a political form offering community, autonomy, prosperity, public goods, and spaces of social justice for its members. He also reminds us that behind the successes of civic ideology and institutions lie entanglements with domination, empire, and enslavement. Ma’s sweeping and multifaceted narrative draws widely on a rich store of historical evidence while weighing in on lively scholarly debates and offering new readings of Aristotle as the great theoretician of the polis. A monumental work of scholarship, Polis transforms our understanding of antiquity while challenging us to grapple with the moral legacy of an idea whose very success centered on the inclusion of some and the exclusion of others.

Songs of Expectation
This novel is inspired by a true story. London, 1881, and another party of child migrants sets sail for Canada, leaving behind all they know in search of a new life. Taken from the slums and workhouses of Britain, they are set to work as labourers and servants, building a nation in a foreign land. Among them is Mary Oliver, desperate to fulfil a promise she made to her dying father; Arthur Dilkes, to whom emigration is just another adventure; Sam Barney, who longs for a new family to replace the one he has lost; Margaret Walsh, who cannot forget the father she has left behind; and Lily, who does not even have a surname to call her own. All are unprepared for the prejudice and hostility they will face, and the obstacles they must overcome. All struggle to escape their pasts. Presiding over them and countless others is Alice Hamilton, obsessed with making her mark in a man’s world, whose mission to ‘save’ these children is called into question by a series of tragic events. A story of heartbreak and courage, Songs of Expectation shines a light on a shameful chapter in British history.
Nová cesta kocourka Chloupka
Je parné léto a Chloupek dostal zásadní úkol: donést svému dědečkovi speciální šroubky, které nutně potřebuje. Obstojí kocourek při této důležité pochůzce?
Nezačne to zrovna nejlíp: mapu, podle které putuje, mu maminka naškrábala dost lajdácky, takže se v ní nevyzná, v cestě mu stojí veliká řeka, přes niž se musí nějak dostat — a to celé je jen začátek dalších trablů. Chloupek je naštěstí nejen roztomilý, ale i pohotový a upřímný a díky tomu si všude dokáže získat přátele. S kamarády se totiž dá zvládnout leccos, i to, co zpočátku vypadá úplně nemožně. Stačí neztrácet naději a pozorně se dívat kolem sebe. V tom je nejen krásné poselství, ale i autorčin osobní životní postoj.
Jemně kolorované perokresby v sobě nezapřou asijský původ a autorčin vybraný smysl pro estetiku. V mnohém však připomínají i srdeční tituly našeho dětství. Je to zkrátka radostné knižní setkání pro děti i dospělé, kteří milují vytříbený knižní design.
První knížka o kocourku Chloupkovi získala na Mezinárodním veletrhu dětské knihy v Boloni v roce 2024 zvláštní uznání v kategorii debut.
Pro děti od tří let.

Twenty years on, Elliott Gotkine, together with Guy Goma, reveals for the first time the remarkable, stranger-than-fiction story of The Wrong Guy, why his 15 minutes of fame endured, the chaos of 24-hour news, and how celebrity and destiny isn t always what it s cracked up to be.
