Children of the Third Reich
The Third Reich cast a long shadow, not least over those born in Germany at that time. Whether the children of Nazi perpetrators or Holocaust survivors, they all had to come to terms with their dark past, based on an inhuman racial ideology. Renate was born in 1941, the daughter of an unknown SS General and Nazi war criminal who fathered her as part of his racial duty to produce 'A Child for Hitler.' Joe was born in 1946 in a Displaced Persons camp for Holocaust survivors. Dan was born in Haifa in 1938 to German Jewish immigrant parents. Then it was Palestine, later Israel, and Dan was a proud Israeli, until he wasn't so sure any more. All three grew up surrounded by silence and secrets, because their parents wanted to protect them from the horrors of the dark Nazi past which had devastated their lives. Decades later the three met, each trying to come to terms with their legacies of silence, secrets and pain. In Children of the Third Reich, acclaimed historian Catrine Clay traces their stories from Germany to the United States and Israel, confronting their dark pasts in order to find ways to a better future.

Babylon, Albion
Whoever said nature is still has not borne witness to the migration of the seasons.In this lyrical enquiry, Dalia Al-Dujaili considers what it means to belong in your land.

A Year with the Seals
With their large, strangely human eyes or their dog-like playfulness, but seals have long captured people's interest and affection. Alix Morris spends a year with these magnetic creatures and brings them to life, season by season, as she learns about their intelligence, their relationships with each other, their ecosystems, and the changing climate.
Along with the seals themselves, Morris explores the competing interests in the debate about newly recovered seal populations in our coastal waters: from local fisherman whose catch is often diminished by savvy seals, to tribes who once relied on seal-hunting for food, clothing, and medicine, this is a rare look at what happens when conservation efforts actually work, and how human tampering with ecosystems continues to have unexpected consequences.

Song of the Saltings
On the isolated island of Brack, the people live by an ancient bargain: every year, a sacrifice must be made to the Glimm, the creature that haunts the salt marshes. Once, it demanded children. Eight years ago, it should have taken Lotta. Instead, the monster spared her and claimed her pony, shattering tradition and anointing her both folk hero and object of suspicion. Now sixteen, Lotta tends the Council’s sacrificial horses, keeping her distance from the islanders who whisper about her fate. But something is stirring. The island hums beneath her feet, and a song threads through her dreams.

Because on Brack, monsters come in many forms.

Hope and Despair
A frank assessment of Israel’s uncertain place in a region scarred by conflict and insecurity. Where can the country and its people go from here? Days before his country signed a deal to normalise ties with Israel, the Emirati Ambassador to the US penned an article in Hebrew, directly addressing Israelis. Israel, he argued, faced a choice between engagement with the rest of the region, or isolation. His words struck a chord then, and will continue to ring true in the decades to come. Michael A. Horowitz tells the unfolding story of this decision: of tension between the hope ushered in by the normalisation agreements, and the enduring despair both Israelis and Palestinians feel about the waning prospects of peace. Rather than examining the past, Horowitz looks to Israel’s future—one marked by new opportunities, but also tremendous challenges, as the country tries to find its place in a region trying to find itself. Israel is a ship in a storm, navigating a ‘new’ Middle East where unfinished revolutions, regional competition, perceived US disengagement and an unstable but menacing Iran all warrant caution. In the ‘promised land’ itself, existing gaps are widening, and the space for optimism is shrinking. Hope and Despair is a brutally honest exploration of what lies ahead for Israel: the waves, the winds, and the ray of light above the clouds.
Rozčulovadlo v hlavnej úlohe
Niektoré knihy potrebujú riadny kúsok odvahy. A viete prečo? Pretože v nich nájdete odraz toho, čo sa deje vo vašej vlastnej rodine. Taká je aj táto knižka. O kom? O čom? Možno o vás a možno o niekom inom. V každom prípade to bude o milej rodinke, v ktorej riadny vietor robí jedno Rožčuľovadlo
“V zásuvke medzi ceruzkami, fixkami, plastelínou a pastel kami bol neobvyklý ruch. Šramot, či dokonca až rámus. Znelo to podobne, ako keď sa v nich niekto premŕva rukou a nevie, ktorú farbu vybrať. Šuplík sa triasol. Celá skrinka nadskakovala. Dvierka na nej sa otvárali a zatvárali. Niekto by sa domnieval, že tam straší. Zvnútra bolo počuť šušťanie, lomoz a buchot. Nahliadnuť dovnútra zásuvky a tiež do tejto knihy vyžaduje poriadnu dávku odvahy. Ak sa nebojíte, tak ju spoločne otvoríme a zistíme, kto to tam vystrája.”
Bůh koná
Jádro křesťanské víry spočívá v tom, že Ježíš byl vzkříšen, je živý a mocí Ducha svatého působí ve světě i dnes. Tato kniha je sbírkou pětatřiceti skutečných příběhů, které dosvědčují znamení živé Boží přítomnosti uprostřed tohoto světa. Náš nebeský Otec si ze všeho nejvíc přeje, abychom uvěřili v jeho Lásku k nám. Cílem křesťanské víry není vidět znamení všude a ve všem, rozhodně nejde o jediný projev Božího působení. Jsou však „záchytnými body“, které nás mohou otevřít a vést k tomu, abychom vírou objevili živého Boha tam, kde ho zatím nevnímáme. Chci vám nyní vyprávět o událostech, které před několika lety změnily můj život. Díky nim jsem začal úplně jinak vnímat Boží přítomnost ve svém životě i všude kolem. (z úvodu autora, kněze a misionáře pařížské diecéze
Moje Antonie
Moje Antonie patří k nejvýznamnějším dílům americké literatury a představuje vrchol autorčiny tvorby. Vypráví hluboký příběh o dětství, kořenech a hledání vlastního místa ve světě.
Příběh je zasazen do období osidlování amerického středozápadu na sklonku 19. století, kdy za lepší budoucností mířily na americké prérie tisíce přistěhovalců z Evropy. Na pozadí tohoto velkého stěhování sledujeme osud české dívky Antonie Šimerdové, od chvíle, kdy s celou rodinou přichází do Ameriky. Přijíždějí plni naděje, na drsný život na prérii však nejsou připraveni a tvrdá realita jim brzy přinese tragédii. Antonie musí pracovat na farmě i ve městě, naráží na nevyzpytatelnost přírody i lidí, na chudobu i nenaplněnou lásku. Přesto si uchovává vášeň pro život, houževnatost i citlivé srdce. Její příběh vidíme obdivnýma očima oddaného přítele, Američana Jima.
Moje Antonie je významná nejen svou literární kvalitou, ale i českým rozměrem příběhu. Willa Cather s nezaměnitelným rukopisem a hlubokým porozuměním pro lidskou povahu vykresluje krajinu, postavy i pozoruhodné osudy a román tak právem patří mezi literární klasiku 20. století.
„Cather líčí české vystěhovalce při vší lásce realisticky správně.”
T. G. Masaryk

The Catch
'Totally original, entirely compelling and astonishingly well crafted, The Catch solidifies Yrsa Daley-Ward as one of Britain's best and boldest voices. A dark and lyrical debut that's well worth the wait.’ Yomi Adegoke, author of Slay in Your Lane and The List'A fantastic, shimmering work. Yrsa Daley-Ward's rich exploration of Black womanhood and familial complexities is a must read.' Irenosen Okojie‘From one of my favourite living writers, The Catch is a slippery shape-shifting delight. Yrsa’s novel is fluorescently dark and winding; brilliant in its investigation of refractions and meaning.’ Eloghosa Osunde, author of VAGABONDS!‘Yrsa’s work is like holding the truth in your hands. A glorious living thing’ FLORENCE WELCHA darkly whimsical debut about women daring to live and create with impunity.Twin sisters Clara and Dempsey have always struggled to relate, their familial bond severed after their mother vanished into the Thames. In adulthood, they are content to be all but estranged, until Clara sees a woman who looks exactly like their mother on the streets of London. The catch: this version of Serene, aged not a day, has enjoyed a childless life.Clara, a celebrity author in desperate need of validation, believes Serene is their mother, while Dempsey, isolated and content to remain so, believes she is a con woman. As they clash over this stranger, the sisters hurtle toward an altercation that threatens their very existence, forcing them to finally confront their pasts--together.In her riveting first foray into fiction, Yrsa Daley-Ward conjures a kaleidoscopic multiverse of daughterhood and mother-want, exploring the sacrifices that Black women must make for self-actualization. The result is a marvel of a debut novel that boldly asks, "How can it ever, ever be a crime to choose yourself?"
