Umění nul
Sci-fi drama o světě, kde veškeré umění generuje umělá inteligence, z umělců se stávají teroristé a opuštěné děti vychovávají roboti.
Umělce nahradila umělá inteligence a mají jen dvě možnosti – bojovat, nebo utéct. Začínat život od nuly není snadné. Pro Anetu s Tylerem je naštěstí jistotou umělá inteligence – pro Anetu představuje rodinu a bezpečí a pro Tylera je motorem světa. Avšak pro spisovatele Jareda je parazitem umělecké duše. Budou schopni držet se svých přesvědčení, nebo je nový život zlomí? V dokonalém světě se musíme sami sebe zeptat: Jsme tím, kým chceme být? A co jsme ochotni obětovat pro to, abychom se jím stali?

My Year of Geriatric Painting
MY YEAR OF GERIATRIC PAINTING is about the author’s 12 months of painting as a hobby, starting at 85 in 2024 and ending at 86 in 2025, as well as his thoughts and feelings that this generated. But it is even more about old age in general and how it can be one of the greatest periods in a person’s life. The word ‘geriatric’ in the title is used very much tongue-in-cheek. Paul asserts that old age, apart from the inevitable, can be full, eventful, and extremely interesting. And that is true even if you haven’t lived in Mexico since you were 26 years old like he has, and since your 80th birthday written six books like him, and also recently visited several countries, including Britain (Paul’s country of birth and youth), Spain (where he met his wife of 60 years in 1963), and Cuba (twice, first with his 21-year-old grandson and then with his daughter, that grandson’s mother). This book contains both physical and mental adventure within it, as well as amateur art and everyday ‘geriatric’ life.
The Road of Hope and Sorrow
In 2016, Nigel Bruce, passionate cycle tourist and enthusiastic student of history, cycled along the Western Front of the Great War exploring the countless battlefields and poignant memorials, war museums, and the cities, towns and villages devastated by four years of industrial warfare. This was also a personal journey, with an author sensitive to loss immersing himself in the inescapable evidence of destruction of young lives on an unimaginable scale. Family memoirs and correspondence of a French artillery officer bring authentic first-hand experiences, at turns tragic, terrifying, and poetic. The many colour photos and drawings by the author convey the rich heritage available to today’s visitors, while archive images, and the work of war artists, writers and poets provide insights from those directly involved. Detailed maps show Nigel’s route and sites of interest to orientate the reader and inform those planning their own trips. Documenting the evolution of his own reactions, Nigel recounts how cycling the Western Front brought its share of sorrow, not least through unsettling echoes in contemporary populist rhetoric. But this is also a story of hope, with many moving examples of remembrance for those on both sides of the conflict, and of reconciliation between former enemies.
The Friends of Joey Jenkins
While out exploring on his bike, twelve-year-old Joey Jenkins discovers the ruins of a school and a remote old schoolhouse. There he meets and flees from Nora Carter, in her youth a glamorous pin-up star of the variety theatre called Naughty Ninky, now a battling old lady with dyed hair, a wide vocabulary of swear words and a warm heart, breaking out into her old music-hall songs at any opportunity. They become friends. Nora shares her rambling old house with four ghosts aged seventeen to seventy who befriend Joey and support him in some very alarming adventures and his burning ambition to become an actor. Nightmare Castle, a scary mystery play, features largely in the story. Joey has a loving family and one close friend, Leo, a stocky red-haired boy forever getting into fights. But soon Joey must confront more dangerous characters, including a teenage gang leader, Boris, a man-mountain ex-wrestler obsessed with knitting, and violent criminals with plans to force Nora from her house, destroy protected wildlife and smash the surrounding wood to open a quarry. Even more frightening, on a stormy winter’s night, are the massed ghosts of plague victims buried nearby who do not wish their bones to be disturbed.
The Echo of Monsters
This story is a psychological excavation, a deep dive into guilt and fear, and the crushing weight of trying to survive our mortality. It proposes man has to descend before he can ascend from his worldly experience and overcome death. The story also offers something else unsettling: a journey into the mind of a man unravelling under the pressure of his own ideas, beliefs and shedding everything he imagines he knows. Will this story offer you the ultimate release from all sufferin? t doesn’t offer sympathy; it offers a mirror. And crucially whether redemption from the human condition is possible. It invites you to consider you have suffered enough, that is why you are reading this. Welcome, you have answered the Call. For a moment let’s return to the self you imagine you are; you feel trapped inside fear, which is largely unconscious, and often becomes overwhelming. Perhaps the pain seems inevitable for an open deep heart, such as the dread of being lost, alone or anonymous. In short you are exhausted by the pretence. The story is intended to navigate you to the truth of who you are. The more predisposed you are to your sense of self, the more resistance you will have in accepting the content. Read it slowly. Let it provoke you. Because we need one another.

The Posting
At fifteen, headstrong Jane is growing up in a quiet village in East Sussex, dreaming of travel and a life beyond the familiar. When war erupts in 1939, those dreams are swept into motion. Leaving school behind, Jane steps into adulthood far sooner than she ever expected, and a chance encounter with injured RAF pilots changes everything. Told in Jane’s own voice, this biographical novel charts an extraordinary journey from V1 and V2 attacks in Kent to the heat and danger of Ceylon and Singapore.

Along the way she experiences friendship and love as well as devastating loss, emerging fiercely independent and forever changed.
Theatrecy
It is the 1640s and the turbulent times of the English Civil War can be felt across England. Gideon is a frustrated woodturner and would-be actor, who believes nothing is more important than the theatre. Unfortunately, Puritans have recently closed all the theatres in London. The chief instigators of these actions are his father, Eli, and brother, Matthew. Gideon's ultimate goal is to restore the Globe Theatre to its former glory. Having left his previous work, he now acts on "the stage of life", assuming various characters as he travels between Parliamentarian London and Royalist Oxford to act before the King, who has set up his headquarters there. Each adventure will be a different act in the play Gideon intends to write and perform once the Globe is restored. On the road to Oxford, Gideon is waylaid by Parliament's most feared soldier, Colonel Mordet, who promises him that if he assassinates a main funder to the King, Mordet will have the Globe restored. Things become more complicated still when he meets Molly, a political radical, with whom he falls in love, but who will use him for her own ends. Theatrecy is a hilarious black comedy set in the dark days of the English Civil War. It is a cocktail of romance, unrequited love, murder and espionage, all heavily laced with dark humour, and a vivid and original portrayal of an extraordinary time.

What’s Not to Know About Families
The characters in this book – their lives, circumstances, and surprising connections – are as wide-ranging as could be imagined. Woven throughout are threads linking Laugharne, coalminers, music, railways, Church Gresley and more. The book reflects on the Theophilus family but it is not a growing of family trees: scattered twigs can be found but establishing genetic lines is not the focus. George Orwell was not related to ‘Uncle Bill’, and whether Dylan Thomas had familial links does not lessen the influence his work had on the family. Elsewhere, the book explores how complementary occupations shaped lives, from the shipbuilding Garlicks to the ceramic-manufacturing Poulsons. Richly researched, it offers surprising new facts, fresh angles on familiar stories, and glimpses into the context that makes history come alive. Illustrations are as varied as are the glimpses into social, economic and cultural history.

Aby utiekla pred minulosťou a opäť našla svoju iskru, kúpila si letenku na slnkom zaliaty grécky ostrov Rodos. Trblietavé more, zlatisté pláže a lahodné drinky boli presne to, čo v tej chvíli potrebovala.

Do života jej vstúpil aj charizmatický cudzinec a Mandy zistila, že jej srdce ešte stále dokáže milovať. No tak, ako páli horúci piesok pod nohami, rovnako môže páliť aj minulosť.

Karabars
A di Santis török maffiózója végre elmeséli a saját történetét.
Karabars King világában a hűség nem választás, hanem túlélés.
Nem alkudozik és nem kegyelmez, vasmarokkal irányítja a szervezetét, és az életét, melyben az érzelmeknek már régóta nincs helye.
Nyx az éjszaka királynője. A sötétségben mozog, szabályok nélkül. Arra vágyik, amit mások elrejtenek. Amikor belép Karabars világába, elmosódnak a határok, és olyan titkok kerülnek a
felszínre, amelyeknek örökre rejtve kellett volna maradniuk.
Egy nő a múltból.
Egy rossz döntés.
És egy bűn, ami a poklot hozza el mindkettőjük számára.
Kingnek választania kell hatalom, árulás és szenvedély között.
Csakhogy van, amikor nem lehet jól dönteni.
És létezik az a szerelem, ami akkor sem enged el, amikor már mindent tönkretett.
Doma
Po troch knihách o tatranských chatách, vysokohorských nosičoch a slovenských značkároch, ktoré hľadali príbehy vysoko na hrebeňoch, sme sa tentoraz vrátili dolu. Pod vrcholy, do každodenných dolín a na miesta, ktoré obvykle iba míňame.
Vezmeme vás do desiatich regiónov Slovenska, ktoré v bežných sprievodcoch nenájdete: medzi vinohrady pretkané kamennými valmi starými stovky rokov, na pieskové duny Záhoria, kde ručia jelene, do kuchýň, v ktorých sa varí len to, čo rastie len v okruhu pár kilometrov, a pod tmavú oblohu Polonín s najtichšou nocou v strednej Európe.
Toto nie je turistický sprievodca. Sprevádzajú vás ním miestni, ktorí vedia, kadiaľ zabočiť: vinári, kuchári, historičky, architekti, hvezdári aj drevorubači. Každý na svojom mieste a každý so svojím príbehom.
Stačí zabočiť a neponáhľať sa.

Dni v kníhkupectve Morisaki
Dvadsaťpäťročná Takako si žila pomerne bezstarostne až do dňa, keď jej priateľ Hideaki, za ktorého sa chcela vydať, len tak mimochodom oznámi, že ju podvádza a žení sa s inou. Jej život sa zrazu rúca. Prichádza o prácu, priateľov i známych a prepadne sa do hlbokej depresie. V tom najväčšom zúfalstve jej zatelefonuje odcudzený strýko Satoru.
Satoru je nezvyčajný muž, ktorý vždy viedol tak trochu nekonvenčný život, a to najmä po tom, čo ho pred piatimi rokmi z ničoho nič opustila manželka Momoko. V tokijskej štvrti Džimbóčó, známej ako mesto kníh, vedie antikvariát, ktorý predstavuje skutočné útočisko pre každého milovníka kníh. Takako kedysi Satoruovým životným štýlom pohŕdala. Teraz však s nechuťou prijíma jeho ponuku nasťahovať sa zadarmo do malej izby nad kníhkupectvom výmenou za výpomoc v obchode. Toto sťahovanie má byť len dočasné, kým sa znova nepostaví na vlastné nohy. Počas cesty k uzdraveniu v nasledujúcich mesiacoch však Takako samu seba prekvapí, keď v sebe objaví vášeň pre japonskú literatúru. Stane sa pravidelnou zákazníčkou v miestnej kaviarni, kde si nájde nových priateľov, a napokon spoznáva mladého redaktora z neďalekého vydavateľstva, ktorý si práve prechádza vlastným nepríjemným rozchodom.
No práve vo chvíli, keď začína opäť pociťovať radosť, sa na scéne znova objavuje Hideaki. Takako sa tak musí opäť spoľahnúť na svojho strýka, ktorého vlastný život sa začína rúcať. Hoci tvoria zdanlivé protiklady, táto zvláštna novonájdená rodina spoločne hľadá cestu k sebe navzájom i do vlastného vnútra. Popritom sa obaja naďalej delia o životné múdrosti, ktoré našli medzi knihami.
