On Memoir
A delightful compendium of musings from the master of life writing, the much-loved Blake Morrison, for those who practise the art of memoir, and those who read it. 'Hallelujah! — now is the perfect time for Morrison’s book On Memoir' THE TIMES 'Lessons in life writing from a master' THE GUARDIAN 'The critic every literary editor turns to… an essential reference book' THE SPECTATOR ON MEMOIR is a gloriously freewheeling exploration of narrative non-fiction, its challenges, ethics and charms, and its power to move and change us. From AI to Ethics to Politics to Sex, there is something for every reader and writer in this modern classic. Gleaned from a lifetime as a passionate reader of others’ lives, as well as an unflinchingly honest chronicler of his own, Morrison’s A-Z is a trove of thoughtful literary exploration, amusing observations, and fascinating finds.
Ghost-Eye
'This shape-shifting, time-stitching novel grants us special kinds of double-vision: across eras and between species. Under its spell, Amitav Ghosh helps us begin to live multiple lives - to become aware of the porosity and mystery of being, rather than of its fortifications and frontiers' Robert Macfarlane, author of Is a River Alive?'A magical realist novel that believes in magic' Sunday TimesCalcutta, September 1969Varsha Gupta wants fish for her lunch. Her family can't understand it; the three-year-old has never tasted fish in her life. The Guptas are strict vegetarians and don't allow it inside their Calcutta mansion. But Varsha claims she can remember another life, a mud house by a river where she caught and cooked fish with a different mother. Perplexed, the Guptas turn to Dr. Shoma Bose, a psychiatrist who has been investigating what are known as 'cases of the reincarnation type' for years. But her understanding of the world is changed forever by Varsha's revelations. Half a century later, Varsha's therapeutic case file catches the attention of a group of environmental activists, and Shoma's nephew Dinu is drawn inexorably into their plans. And as Dinu finds himself caught up in the search for Varsha, buried memories of his own past begin to surface. Travelling between late-sixties Calcutta and present-day Brooklyn, Ghost-Eye is an urgent and expansive novel about family, fate and our fragile planet. 'Amitav Ghosh's intellectual panache and serene mastery of form make him one of the last great practitioners of the novel of ideas. Captivating' Pankaj Mishra
Lucky People
Lucky and unlucky people often encounter similar situations and setbacks in life. But the way they view and think about the circumstances differs, as does the way they deal with them. So, what are the common lifestyle patterns, mindsets, and outlooks of lucky people? Nobuko Nakano is a neuroscientist who argues that luck isn’t random but can be cultivated through intentional actions. We can become lucky through our mindset and behaviour. Certain behaviours attract luck, such as taking calculated risks, expanding social networks and reframing setbacks. Our thoughts and actions shape how our brain processes information and affects how we interact with the world. If we believe in good outcomes, we are more likely to act in ways that will make them happen. This is science-based self-help and an expert take on a fascinating subject that can at first seem irrational and unpredictable.
Birdland
A joyous celebration of Britain’s rich bird life In Birdland, journalist and lifelong birder Jon Gower explores our intimate connection with the bird life around us. From the symphonic song of the wren to the clack of a puffin’s beak and from epic migrations to sunset murmurations, birds are commonplace miracles. No wonder they have inspired our artists, writers and songwriters. Whether rare or abundant, Jon Gower visits some of the best places in Britain to watch birds, searching for some species he has always wanted to see such as wryneck, dotterel and barred warbler. But all is not well in Birdland. Gower charts the many changes to Britain’s bird life over the last 50 years, as the countryside has seemingly emptied and in many ways fallen silent. He considers the effects of the climate emergency, the decline in biodiversity and warming oceans on birdlife and looks at work being done to mitigate these developments. But above all it is a celebration of birds and their being, and a call to arms to defend them. As Great Bustards return to our plains and eagles to our mountains, Jon Gower’s book examines the future from a bird’s-eye view.

Daughter’s not talking to her, husband’s not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work.

Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.

A deeply gratifying, highly addictive and provocative read, Femme Feral is an exhilarating expression of feminine rage, with a warning: If you swallow your anger, it’s sure to come back with a bite.

Lázár
„A sötét erdő szélét még mindig egy kimúló évszázadból megmaradt hó borította, amikor Lázár Lajos, a vízkék szemű, áttetsző gyermek először látta meg azt a férfit, akit annak halála után is apjának tekintett.”
Minden elkezdődik, még a vég is. Lázár Lajos születésével, az erdei kastély falai között, beköszönt a 20. század, amely örökre megváltoztatja a Magyarország déli részén élő Lázár bárók régi életét. A Habsburg Birodalom bukásával felbomlik a régi világrend, széthullik a nemesség és az elhallgatott családi titkokkal terhelt látszólag biztonságos jólét is: Sándor, a tekintélyes családfő, szégyelli fia különcségét; Ilona, visszataszítónak találja kisöccsét; Mária, a gyönyörű édesanya, retteg, hogy valakinek feltűnik a kísérteties hasonlóság gyermeke és a két hete elhunyt fiatal lovászlegény között, míg Sándor fivérét, Imrét, akinek túlvilági látomásait gyakran őrültségnek bélyegzik, egy közelgő katasztrófa víziói gyötrik.
„…akkor fogta fel, hogy minden megváltozott. A világ, amelyben megismerkedtek és elbúcsúztak egymástól, már nem létezett.”
A Lázár egy magyar nemesi család több generáción átívelő történetét és hanyatlását meséli el a viharos 20. századi események hátterében egészen 1956-ig. A fiatal svájci író egy új generáció friss hangja, regénye egyszerre modern és időtlen. A mű mesterien teremt atmoszférát: a családi rezidencia, valamint az azt körülölelő, baljósan sötét, mesebeli erdő élénken kelnek életre az olvasó előtt, miközben a regény finoman kikacsint Gabriel García Márquez és Thomas Mann világára.
A Lázár 2025-ben meghódította a nyugat-európai olvasókat:
Megjelenést követően a könyv hónapokig a SPIEGEL bestseller lista első helyén állt, azóta, több hónap elteltével töretlenül a lista élén áll,

2025-ben elnyerte a Független Könyvesboltok Kedvenc Könyve díjat

V jedno ráno sa dvadsaťjeden ročnej Linde obráti život hore nohami. Aleš – muž, ktorého milovala celým srdcom – jej z ničoho nič oznámi, že s ňou nechce ďalej žiť. Zlomená a zúfalá, s kufrom v ruke, odchádza hľadať odpustenie tam, kde by ju nikto nečakal.
Návrat do rodného domu jej však neprináša útechu. Ostáva zavretá medzi štyrmi stenami svojej starej izby, kde sa utápa v žiali. Mladšia sestra to s ňou ale nevzdáva a napokon sa jej podarí Lindu vrátiť do normálneho života.

Okolo neho sa stále motá jeho bývalá priateľka. Žiarlivosť, o ktorej si myslela, že ju má pod kontrolou, ju začne pohlcovať.
Je to len jej strach, ktorý vytvára pochybnosti, alebo Andrej skutočne niečo tají?
Dokáže sa Linda preniesť cez svoju prehnanú žiarlivosť?
Usmeje sa na ňu už konečne šťastie, alebo sa jej osud opäť kruto vysmeje?
