The View from Ninety
FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE EMPTY RAINCOAT AND UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONS.One of the major thinkers of our times reflects on how to live richer, more contented lives, drawing on wisdom built up over a lifetime***A Financial Times Best Business Book of 2025***Over a span of seven decades, Charles Handy was, variously, a businessman, a writer, a philanthropist and a philosopher. Not even a stroke as he approached the age of 90 dimmed his intellectual curiosity or his immense zest for life.In this, his final book, written from the vantage point of a contemplative old age and drawing on his articles for The Idlerhe shares his thoughts on the big questions with which we all grapple:What things really matter?
What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant?
How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?
How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? How do we cope with grief and loss?Drawing in part on his own experience, in part on the wisdom of others, he sets out the principles of enjoying a fulfilled and contented life, and gently points the way to the practicalities of achieving it.

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. She traces the rich heritage of the earth beneath our feet and the wildlife that call it home – from the oak tree and date palm to fairytale creatures, such as dragons, unicorns and the ancient Lamassu. Weaving together Arab and Islamic mythology with the English and Christian pastoral, Al-Dujaili unmasks the communal lush, familiar and, at times, dark places we share.A love song to Britain, Iraq and the body of earth we hold in common, Babylon, Albion is a compelling re-imagining of what it means to be native.
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.

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

Překlad vybraných příběhů z evangelií do jazyka generace Z je jeho literární prvotinou.

The result is a marvel of a debut novel that boldly asks, "How can it ever, ever be a crime to choose yourself?"
