Hercules vs the Minotaur
Featured in The Sunday Times' best children's books inspired by Greek myths.Hercules Braver, modern-day son of Zeus, is about to face his BIGGEST challenge yet... A legendary Greek monster has escaped from the underworld! Hercules is ready to start a new school year as the BEST demigod when, to his surprise, his cousin Theseus suddenly comes to stay from Greece. Theseus, son of Poseidon, is a young demigod just like Hercules. But right as Herc was (finally) preparing to be a heroically good role model, infuriating Theseus causes TROUBLE at every turn! But soon the boys are forced to work together - because Zeus has been so focused on writing a book that he's lost control of the cosmos... and now the universe is in jeopardy. One of the most terrifying monsters in Greek myth has hatched an escape from the underworld! With their dads pre-occupied, it's up to Herc and Theo to track down and stop the Minotaur. No doubt about it, this is Herc's most high-stakes adventure yet. Will the boys become monster-slaying heroes like their namesakes? Or will they learn that myths might not have the full story? The fourth epic adventure in the series is bigger and bolder than ever, with a mega monster and a new demigod - brilliantly illustrated throughout by David O'Connell Due to the curriculum, the Minotaur is one of the most familiar Greek characters to kids, and this book wraps up the modern twists on the Twelve Labours of Hercules, featuring another legendary character, Cerberus Alongside humour, Tom Vaugham explores themes of bravery, 'goodness', unlikely friendship and blended families

A lány és a herceg 2: A nevelőnő leckéje
Egy férfi, aki habzsolja az életet és a nőket. És egy nevelőnő, aki feladja neki a leckét.
Alexandra Mountbatten egy pillanat alatt elveszített mindent, és kénytelen elvállalni egy lehetetlennek tűnő állást: két vadóc lánykából kell illedelmes, finom hölgyet formálnia.
Hamar rájön, hogy a lányoknak nem vasszigorra, hanem szerető otthonra van szükségük. De hogyan győzhetné meg erről a gyámjukat, Chase Reynaud-t, akit a londoni közéletben a hercegi cím várományosaként ismernek, a magánéletben pedig egymás után omlanak a karjába a nők?
Noha már sokan megpróbálták elérni, hogy megállapodjon, sorra kudarcot vallottak. Alexandrának viszont muszáj valahogy megtalálnia az utat a férfi szívéhez, ám anélkül, hogy közben veszélybe sodorná a sajátját.
Chase egyetlen szabály mentén éli az életét: elköteleződésről szó sem lehet.
Amikor azonban a makacs nevelőnő megpróbálja ,,jó útra téríteni", elhatározza, hogy bebizonyítja neki: őt képtelenség megzabolázni. Leckét pedig ő is tud adni abból, amihez a legjobban ért - a gyönyörből.
Alexandra azonban okos, talpraesett és szenvedélyes. Felülmúlja a férfi várakozásait. Vajon képes lesz őt megváltoztatni, ha egyszer a férfi maga sem hiszi, hogy ez lehetséges?
Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

Politologie pro všechny: Svět v pohybu, politika v proměně (2. aktualizované a doplněné vydání)
Jak název napovídá, zdaleka nejde pouze o teorii politologie, ale také o analýzu specifické lidské činnosti - lidí činných v politice. Autor předkládá jasný, stručný a pragmatický text, záměrně oproštěný od nadbytečných detailů a zaměřený na samu podstatu politologických témat. Kromě základních politologických kategorií - moc, demokracie, autorita, politika, politici, politologové, politický systém, pozice opozice - a dalších - autor obohacuje text knihy o jeho osobní zkušenosti a poznatky ze setkáních s významnými osobnostmi. Kniha je logicky členěna do 23 kapitol. Informace jsou doplněny grafickým materiálem, tabulkami, grafy a schématy, které by měly usnadnit orientaci v problematice. Za úvodním slovem následuje oddíl "Akronymy a zkratky" a "Slovník vybraných politologických pojmů". Vybrané termíny, které jsou podrobněji zpracovány, jsou zvýrazněny rámečkem nebo barevným podkladem, což usnadňuje rychlou orientaci v textu. Každá kapitola začíná stručným sumářem, který naznačuje její obsah, a končí sekcí "Politologické praktikum", obsahující shrnutí, klíčové pojmy, kontrolní otázky a doporučenou literaturu. Aktualizované a doplněné vydání autor zahrnuje a rozšiřuje ikonografií myslitelů, filozofů, politologů a politických osobností bez ohledu na jejich dobovou, politickou příslušnost či mediální obraz. Rožňák čerpá z celé řady zdrojů, vlastního poznání a zkušeností. Vybrané pasáže jsou doplněny poznámkami umístěnými na příslušné stránce pod čarou. Nové vydání přináší rozšířené kapitoly věnované Evropské unii. Poznatky o EU se opírají o studijní pobyty v institucích EU, kde autor byl celkem devatenáctkrát (naposledy 22. až 26. dubna 2025) a aktuálním politickým otázkám. Ve zcela nově pojaté dvacáté třetí kapitole čtenáři nabízí zorný úhel pohledu na rodící se multipolární světový řád, který se postupně formuje před našima očima. Skvělý nápad je, že kniha je doplněna o QR kódy, které umožňují přístup za pomoci chytrého mobilního telefonu k fotografiím, videím a filmům Michaela Francise Moora a dalším materiálům z autorského archivu. Předmluvu napsal Zdeněk Koudelka. Recenzenty byli Jan Eichler a Radoslav Ivančík. Ve shodě doporučují zařazení knihy do nejen univerzitních knihoven, ale na školy všech stupňů, odborné i laické veřejnosti.
Don't Laugh at Other People's Sex Lives
Art student Isogai first models for one of his tutors, the much older Yuri, then begins a passionate affair with her. As he gets to know her better, he struggles to understand his own emotions and his place in the world, just as he yearns to be closer to her and for her to share more of herself with him.
Beautiful Distance
An unnamed narrator sits in a cafe overlooking a train station, sipping a green juice and people-watching. A small white butterfly flutters through the air; a calico cat jumps onto a wall; cherry blossom petals fall, softly, to the ground. Life stands still for one moment. He is preparing to visit his terminally ill wife in hospital.
So begins this moving novel exploring the distance between people, places and memories in simple and elegant prose, as Yamazaki raises questions around what family means, how we think about death, and how we express love; particularly in a society where work is often prioritised.
Love at First Bite
I mean hey, what's the worst that could happen? Ok fine, the worst that could happen is that I didn't imagine those fangs after all…
Squeaky clean good girl Lucy Partridge is a sucker for heartwarming tales and happy endings. So a weekend reporting on the Whitby Goth Weekend is well outside her comfort zone. As is sharing her tiny annexe accommodation with all six feet three inches of bad boy bar owner Liam Bramwell. And that's before she discovers that he's an actual living - or, er, 'undead' - vampire!
Logically, Lucy knows she should run the other way, but the reporter in her can tell there's more to Bram than his fangs. It's clearly time for this good girl to take a walk on the dark side, and if that path leads her straight into Bram's muscular tattooed arms?
Well, a girl's got to do what a girl's got to do…

Elizabeth II
As daughter, wife, mother and Sovereign, Elizabeth II lived fascinating parallel lives, both in private and in public. But she remained something of a mystery – beloved, even revered, modest yet daunting, naturally shy but globally recognizable, inscrutable and also authentic. She was grand but so familiar that we felt we knew her. Yet we would always be left asking the same question: ‘What’s she really like?’ No one has written more authoritatively on Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman. Who better to answer that question?
The only biographer to have interviewed all the senior members of the Royal Family, some of them several times, Hardman has crafted a gripping story of drama, devotion, triumph, tragedy, humour and conflict; of an outwardly stoical, inwardly complex woman whose love of family, love of country and duty to the Crown might pull her in different directions but never derailed her; a global stateswoman who wielded her great authority with charm and understatement.
Elizabeth II will explain why she was not merely the most famous woman in the world. She was one of history’s all-time greats.

It is the astonishing story of renegade engineers and Silicon Valley disrupters, of fearless entrepreneurs and one revolutionary leader with an extraordinarily singular vision.
Face Off
I never really felt like I had a home. But with Emmy next to me, I think home is wherever she is . . .
Emmy Hartwell has waited for a spot on an NHL roster since she became a professional hockey player, and this season, she'll finally get a chance to showcase her talents with the struggling DC Stars.
Maverick Miller is the best player in the league, but he's never had a winning record. Team captain and desperate to turn things around, he agrees to play nice with the fiery new left-winger even though they're total opposites.
After a night of explosive tension that ends in bed, Emmy and Maverick swear it'll be a one-time thing - just enough to clear the air so they can focus on their game. It's meaningless, she insists, because she doesn't date hockey players, and he's a notorious playboy who doesn't date at all. But 'just once' quickly becomes again and again, and while they promise their friends-with-benefits setup will end with the season, their chemistry off the ice proves impossible to ignore ...

Tried to destroy her. Failed again.
Now we're both burning, slow dancing in the flames.
I tell myself I'll rise from the ashes once she's gone -
but I can't let her go.
And Penny… she'd have to run to the ends of the earth to escape me.
