Dear Mother
In a tense thriller set deep amid the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a determined mother works to uncover the secrets of her family’s dark past, fearful of what their history may reveal. After a childhood riddled with trauma and unanswered questions, Isabelle Archer vows to chase down the truth. So when her estranged mother dies, the investigative journalist returns to the one story that still haunts her. Isabelle was thirteen when her three foster siblings died tragically in a fire. The blaze was ruled an accident, and despite the neglect, Isabelle never wanted to believe her mother was a killer. But twenty-five years later, the accusations linger. Back in Cedarloch to settle the estate, Isabelle revisits her childhood home. A familiar dread permeates the surrounding woods. And when autopsy reports cast new suspicions, Isabelle unearths much more than just terrifying memories. With help from her ex, Isabelle frantically digs for answers. What really happened the night of the fire? How did her mother die? And are the two somehow connected? What they find could poison long-held memories—and incinerate everything she thought to be true.

As the Herzfelds begin to crack under the weight of their secrets, she finds herself in a more precarious position than ever before. Reflective yet propulsive, and told in a voice both ingenuous and insightful, Other Women is a timeless and all-too-relatable tale of unwise decisions and unfortunate fixations.

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.
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.

Neboť ten čas je blízko
Tento slogan najdeme na billboardech i ve sci-fi filmech. Podtrhuje nervózní fascinaci naší společnosti budoucností. Konec světa je děsivá vyhlídka, ať už ho má mít na svědomí obrovský asteroid, celosvětová epidemie, nebo jiná globální katastrofa. Děsivá je zvlášť pro ty, kdo nevědí, jak to bude doopravdy.
Pro křesťany však konec světa nemá být děsivý. Můžeme se na něj naopak těšit. Proč? Bůh nám řekl, jak svět skončí. A ujišťuje nás, že konec tohoto věku bude počátkem nového, úžasného, v němž budeme sloužit Pánu a uctívat ho s bezhříšnou dokonalostí. Naše věčná naděje jako věřících je těsně spjata s koncem tohoto světa.
To vše je vyloženo v knize Zjevení. Zjevení je inspirované Boží slovo, ale je to také jediná novozákonní kniha, která slibuje duchovní požehnání těm, kdo studují její poselství a uplatňují ho v praxi. Je tedy nezbytnou součástí duchovního života každého křesťana. Ti, kdo Zjevení ignorují, se připravují o bohatý poklad Boží pravdy a zaslíbených požehnání, která nám její porozumění přináší. John MacArthur vysvětluje knihu Zjevení věroučně přesně a zároveň prakticky.

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.
