Den, kdy jsme zešíleli
Autor si zvolil své vypravěče. Dokážou ale takto mladí lidé vyprávět příběh světů, aniž by se pod tíhou toho úkolu zhroutili?
Werta – země plná magie, tajemství a zrady. Místo neonových barev a stínů je nějakým zvláštním způsobem zapojeno do plánů bytostí, jež uctívají i sami bohové. Svět prošpikovaný portály, červími dírami, snovými tunely. Centrum celého vesmíru. A tam někde bloudí šest lidiček – šest příběhů, šest osudů –, kteří bojují o to, dostat se na konec všech těchto cest. Co bude tyto hrdiny stát, jít po jejich cestách? Život? Lásku? Rozum? Co když si všechny vezme slepé šílenství?

To je Praha
Kniha To je Praha získala ocenění na mezinárodním knižním veletrhu v Bologni (2016) i v soutěži Nejkrásnější české knihy roku 2015.
Je Praha ještě pořád krásná, úžasná, okouzlující? Nezadupaly její půvab nohy milionů turistů, kteří se ženou po kamenných kostkách od Pražského hradu přes Karlův most na Staroměstské náměstí a zase zpátky? Praha je město věží, kopců, zahrad, uliček, domů, hospod, tajemství, příběhů, vzpomínek, lidí, zvířat a soch... Podívejte se na ni novýma očima.
Projděte se po Praze s Michaelou Kukovičovou a Olgou Černou. Zavedou vás na mosty, ostrovy, rozhledny, do parků, do centra i na periferii. Dozvíte se, kolik mostů vede přes Vltavu, v kterém domě udělal díru ďábel, kam dohlédnete z Žižkovské věže a kde mají nejlepší chlebíčky. Přečtete si historku o chlapíkovi, který se proměnil v brouka, starodávné vyprávění o Golemovi i hrdinský příběh o siru Wintonovi, také o atentátu na Heydricha i o tom, jak si cestu po Pražském hradě zkracoval jeden skvělý prezident. Všude je na co se dívat a čemu se divit... protože v Praze je možné všechno.
Letters 1944-1959
A bestseller in France, this is the first English translation of Albert Camus and Maria Casares' fascinating, impassioned letters - a record of one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century
You and I met and fell in love passionately, impatiently, dangerously. I regret nothing and I feel that these last days I've lived are enough to justify a life. - Albert Camus to Maria Casares, 1st July 1944
Their affair began in wartime Paris. Maria Casares, a young Spanish actress, was starring in a production of the great writer's play The Misunderstanding, and at an after-party hosted by Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, they embarked on a brief but passionate relationship. Separated by the end of the Occupation and the return of Camus's wife to Paris, the couple were reunited by chance one day on the boulevard Saint-Germain, and from that day forward - until the fatal car crash that took Camus's life in 1960 - they were inseparable.
Their correspondence, uninterrupted for over a decade, is testimony to the depth of their connection while also offering a vivid portrait of artistic life in post-war Europe. Camus and Casares debate books and politics; describe encounters with Colette, Cocteau, Gide and Picasso; discuss stardom and everyday life, their love of the sea and nature, their doubts and dreams. Above all, they describe a relationship that feels like an impossible gift.
Translated into English for the first time by Sandra Smith and Cory Stockwell, these 865 letters reveal the intimate personal lives of two extraordinary artists, and record one of the great love affairs of the twentieth century.
My Husband's Wife
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into – Spyglass, an enchanting old house in the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls – nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn’t fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that this stranger is his wife.
One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner named Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person’s date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel and, as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
My Husband’s Wife weaves a tangled web of deception, obsession and mystery that will keep you guessing until the last page. Prepare yourself for the ultimate mind-bending marriage thriller and step inside Spyglass – if you dare – to experience a story where nothing is as it seems.
Ride the Pink Horse
Three desperate men converge in the midst of an annual carnival in New Mexico
Sailor used to be Senator Willis Douglass' protege. When he met the lawmaker, he was just a poor kid, living on the Chicago streets. Douglass took him in, put him through school, and groomed him to work as a confidential secretary. And as the senator's dealings became increasingly corrupt, he knew he could count on Sailor to clean up his messes.
Willis Douglass isn't a senator anymore; he left Chicago, Sailor, and a murder rap behind and set out for the sunny streets of Santa Fe. Now, unwilling to take the fall for another man's crime, Sailor has set out for New Mexico as well, with blackmail and revenge on his mind. But there's another man on his trail as well--a cop who wants the ex-senator for more than a payoff. In the midst of a city gone mad, bursting with wild crowds for a yearly carnival, the three men will violently converge...
The suspenseful tale that inspired one of the most beloved films noir of all time, Ride the Pink Horse is a tour-de-force that confirms Dorothy B. Hughes' status as a master of the mid-century crime novel.
Seven Recipes for Revolution
The Bear meets Attack on Titan in this exhilarating, food-based epic fantasy filled with high stakes and monster steaks, perfect for fans of Pierce Brown and Jay Kristoff.
Paprick is a common butcher, carving slabs of meat from gargantuan monsters so elite chefs can prepare magic-granting meals for the rich. But Paprick’s true passion is cooking, and if he can learn the secret art, his dreams of liberating his people and sharing the monsters’ magic with the world could come true. He steals the precious ingredients needed to practise recipes at home, but if he’s caught, he’ll be executed.
As his desperation grows, he ventures into the black market and uncovers a spice imported from unknown lands. Combining it with the last of his stolen meat, he cooks a dish the world has never tasted before, with side-effects he couldn’t have foreseen.
The dish’s magic grows Paprick to kaiju-size, and legends of his powers spread among the people. Immediately, the rulers arrest him, but Paprick convinces them to make him a chef’s apprentice—if they ever want to learn his Recipe. However, his exposure to the world of high cuisine reveals the rot at its centre, and with his new power, rebellion is only a few recipes away…

The Moonsingers
In a quiet glen beyond the reach of the railway lives a peculiar family who knows the best magic is the kind found in ordinary moments.
When Ismay Gebhardt is dismissed from yet another teaching post after an unfortunate accident (which everyone survived!), she accepts a last-chance job as a private tutor in sleepy Glenmaidens village. The town is brimming with natural beauty, uncanny traditions, and earnest locals, none more unusual than her three young pupils-the Underhill sisters-and their puzzling father.
Determined to make herself useful after several catastrophic lessons with the unbiddable girls, Ismay writes to the transport bureau suggesting an extension to the train line, hoping to bring Glenmaidens into modernity. As usual, Ismay's good intentions lead to chaos with the arrival of the bureau's frustratingly thorough officer, Hamish Breck, whose railway plans threaten not only the glen's tranquility, but also the ancient oak tree at its heart. Amidst a mess of her own making, Ismay unearths Glenmaidens' enchanted secret: the Underhills, like many villagers, are fairies who settled in the mortal world in search of a gentler life, and the oak is their only bridge back to the moonlit realm of the fantastic.
As summer heat rises, Ismay schemes with her magical neighbors to prevent the extension, each day finding herself more entangled with the charming, persistent bureaucrat. With her newfound family, the way between worlds, and her heart all at risk, Ismay must decide how much she would bargain to finally embrace the wonder and belonging she's always wished for.
Witch Season - Broken Coven 1
Perfect for fans of Juno Dawson, Leigh Bardugo and Buffy, Witch Season is a grounded enemies-to-lovers urban fantasy that explores a world of competing covens, malevolent mentors, and the horror and power of stolen magic.
Katherine Barnes was an unsettled witch - a witch born to non-magical parents and saddled with a power she couldn't explain, let alone control.
Following a tragic accident that sent her running away from home at sixteen, the only reason Katherine survived was Sylvia Page, the leader of Los Angeles' Aestas Coven and a former unsettled witch herself, who scooped Katherine up and taught her how to harness the storm inside. Together, over the past thirteen years, Katherine and Sylvia turned Aestas into a halfway house for unsettled witches, creating the home neither of them got to have.
Enter Silas Khatri, the heir to the most influential coven in the country who has a mandate from his parents to bring the rogue Aestas Coven to heel.
Desperate to muscle Silas out of her territory, Sylvia makes an impulsive decision that gives her untold power - but at the cost of an unsettled teenager's life. Unaware of her mentor's betrayal, Katherine launches an investigation into the young witch's death.
As she unravels secrets that go back further than she ever knew, Katherine finds an unlikely ally in the man she thought she hated and an unexpected enemy in the woman who saved her future. With Silas' real motives and the depths of Sylvia's treachery all coming to light, Katherine has to decide what's more important - the family she's worked so hard to build, or the truth.
Winnie the Pooh Classic Collection: 4 Book Box Set
NEW stunning collection showcasing the original E.H.Shepard art with A.A.Milne’s timeless stories.
“Once upon a time, a very long time ago now, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself under the name of Sanders.”
Celebrate 100 years of Winnie-the-Pooh in 2026!
E.H.Shepard’s original, iconic artwork has been reproduced for this 100th anniversary collection so it truly pays homage to the vividness of the original art that accompanied Milne’s classic, favourite stories.
A.A.Milne's stories about Pooh and his friends have been loved by generations of children and their parents since Winnie-the-Pooh was first published 100 years ago in 1926. This beautiful slipcase features the four classic Winnie-the-Pooh titles in paperback: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. Each volume features the original E.H.Shepard decorations in full colour.
Milne and Shepard had a unique working relationship for their time, in that they closely collaborated on the design of the storybooks and poetry. This joint approach to laying out the words and illustrations was clearly the perfect partnership; Shepard entirely captured the charm of Pooh’s world, created by Milne, resulting in the gorgeous books we all know and love.
The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for nearly 100 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness.
Pooh ranks alongside other beloved characters such as Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages.
Some retro reviews of the original publication in the 1920s:
“‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ … in which Mr. A. A. Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book.”, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926
“… a book that children will adore, and that their elders will pick up by stealth and read zestfully to the very end.”, The Aberdeen Press and Journal, 9th December 1926
“Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery.”, The Scotsman, 9th December 1926
“Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have one’s fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard – that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author.”, The Sketch, 12th January 1927
“When Mr. Milne began four years ago to write verses for his small son, and, through ‘Punch’, had the good fortune to have them illustrated by Mr. E. H. Shepard, he little realised that within a few months five continents would be clamouring for the adventures of ‘Christopher Robin’ and his pets.”, Sunday Express, 21st October 1928
Sudetské přízraky
Alexandra Saemmer, badatelka v oblasti sociálních věd žijící ve Francii, se vydává po stopách vlastní rodiny, jejíž minulost zůstávala po desetiletí zahalená studem, mlčením a zapomněním a poznamenaná nevyřčenými rozpory. Pochází z rodiny, která žila v Auspitzu na Moravě (dnešních Hustopečích), odkud byla po druhé světové válce vysídlena.
Autorka se pokouší rekonstruovat osud svých prarodičů v době před odsunem i během války. Pátrá po tom, zda její dědeček skutečně sdílel nacistickou ideologii, zkoumá okolnosti jeho skonu na východní frontě, snaží se objasnit tajemství původu své matky a rozkrýt záhadu zmizení svého strýce. Vydává se přitom do „šedých zón“ dějin – tam, kde se osobní paměť střetává s archivními fakty, kde se rodinné legendy rozcházejí s historickou realitou a kde se hranice zla a dobra nezřídka stírají….
Vedle archivního výzkumu a rodinných rozhovorů autorka využívá i nečekaný zdroj: facebookové skupiny a internetová fóra potomků sudetských Němců, kde se kolektivní paměť znovu utváří – často v napětí, emocích a protichůdných výkladech.
Vzniká tak podmanivý „knižní puzzle“ – intimní i analytický zároveň. Příběh jedné rodiny se proměňuje v hlubokou reflexi evropské minulosti, kolektivní viny i dědictví, které si v sobě neseme, aniž bychom si ho vybrali.
Sudetské přízraky jsou knihou o „šedých zónách“ paměti: o prostoru mezi vinou a bolestí, mezi fakty a jejich výkladem, mezi tím, co lze doložit, a tím, co zůstává nevysloveno.
Dějepisectví jako výzva
Dějepisectví jako výzva je výsledkem výzkumů, publikovaných během posledních šesti let, výrazně ovlivněných dobou covidovou. Eseje a studie zde uveřejněné se zaobírají problémy, koncentrovanými do tří tematických celků: sociální dějiny, historická paměť a politika paměti a osobnosti středoevropské historiografie 50.-80. let 20. století. Vedle analytických studií, věnovaných genezi tak významných pojmů, jakými jsou táborský komunismus, buržoasní revoluce či chudí a bohatí, autor kriticky zkoumá vědecký přínos tří významných českých historiků (Jaroslav Mezník, František Šmahel, Josef Válka, Robert Kalivoda) evropské vědě. Spolu s tím je v knize možné číst programatické úvahy, věnované současným výzvám sociálních dějin nebo podobám politiky paměti, resp. vědomému zneužívání politiky paměti, v České republice.
Dějepisectví jako výzva navazuje na dvě předchozí autorovy práce, věnované dějinám a teorii historiografie 19. a 20. století: Dějepisectví mezi vědou a politikou: Úvahy o historiografii 19. a 20. století (2007) a Na vlnách dějin: minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost českého dějepisectví (2020).

Travis Munoz and the Fire of the Aztecs (Book 1)
Before the eclipse changed everything, Travis Munoz's biggest problems were math class and whether he would still be able to play on the same baseball team as his best friend Yolanda. Now, Travis has to deal with his uncle Hector telling him he's been chosen as the next warrior priest for an Aztec sun god. Which means, it’s his job to make sure the sun rises every morning. And his job to battle feathered snakemen who attack at random. Travis could probably manage both, if it weren't for the fact that Yolanda seems mad at him for being chosen over her. At least it's not the end of the world…yet.
Zlatostříbrná fotbalová alej
Knížka vydavatelství BLINKR má jednoznačnou přednost v autentičnosti líčení všech událostí. Není kompilativní, ačkoliv časové odstupy jsou značné. Má jednak retrospektivní vztah k nejslavnějším úspěchům českého fotbalu, jimiž jsou mistrovství světa 1962 v Chile (stříbrné medaile), mistrovství Evropy ve fotbale 1976 (50. výročí) v Záhřebu a Bělehradě (bývalá Jugoslávie) a mistrovství Evropy ve fotbale 1996 (EURO 1996 – 30. výročí) v Anglii (stříbrné medaile). Jednoznačným motivem k vydání této publikace je aktuální mistrovství světa 2026 v USA, Kanadě a Mexiku (11. 6. – 17. 7. 2026), jehož se zúčastní i československý reprezentační tým.
Text je velmi atraktivní vzhledem k tomu, že vypravěčem kapitol o MS 1962 v Chile je Josef Jelínek, levé křídlo reprezentačního celku, a že v kapitolách o ME 1976 a EURO 1996 vypráví sám autor Felix Boom/Pavel Skramlík a reprezentant Karol Dobiaš, jemuž Pavel Skramlík napsal memoáry. Skramlík byl autorizovaným a akreditovaným novinářským zpravodajem českých deníků. Ze zpravodajů médií o těchto událostích už patrně není nikdo mezi živými. Jedná se o zcela autentická svědectví s řadou dosud nepublikovaných originálních výroků, často překvapivých, nikoliv o neautorizované, opisované a kompilační texty pozdních autorů, kteří mnohdy v době těchto událostí nebyli ani na světě. Jedná se tedy o čistě autentické autorské dílo.
Barchester Towers
''Mr Slope flattered himself that he could out-manoeuvre the lady...he did not doubt of ultimate triumph.''Barchester Towers (1857) was the book that made Trollope''s reputation and it remains his most popular and enjoyable novel. The arrival of a new bishop in Barchester, accompanied by his formidable wife and ambitious chaplain, Obadiah Slope, sets the town in turmoil as Archdeacon Grantly declares ''War, war, internecine war!'' on Bishop Proudie and his supporters. Who will come out on top in the battle between the archdeacon, the bishop, Mr Slope, and Mrs Proudi? he livelihood of Mr Harding, the saintly hero of The Warden, is once more under threat but clerical warfare finds itself tangled up in the wayward (and sometimes perverse) desires of the many courtships, seductions, and romances of the book. Who will marry Eleanor Bold? Can any man resist the charms of the exotically beautiful ''La Signora Madeline Vesey Neroni''? Will the oily Mr Slope finally get his comeuppance? Trollope''s matchless handling of plot and character displays a skill whose distinctive literary qualities are celebrated in this new edition.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
City v nádobách
Tři příběhy. Tři nádoby. Tři city, které se nedají udržet.
City v nádobách jsou prózou o tom, co zůstane na dně, když se vyp?e vše ostatní. Bedřich hledá inspiraci ve sklenici piva a nachází jen paradox – miluje příliš na to, aby mohl psát, a píše příliš na to, aby mohl milovat. Pavlína pluje za archeologickým objevem na zapomenutý řecký ostrov a místo starověkého pokladu narazí na vlastní touhu, kterou nedokáže ani pojmenovat, ani zadržet.
A Bedřichův dopis Pavlíně – psaný s přesýpacími hodinami na stole – je vyznáním, které ví, že přichází příliš brzy, a přesto musí být napsáno.
Ondřej Chlubna propojuje tři hlasy, tři časové roviny a jeden společný motiv: city, které se nedají vylít, protože jsou až na samém dně – a právě tam jsou nejsilnější
