Fenomén Mečiar
Ucelený obraz o kľúčových okamihoch našich moderných dejín nie je možný bez poznania vnútornej perspektívy. V kontexte dlhoročnej démonizácie zápasu o slovenskú samostatnosť prináša táto kniha priestor pre priame svedectvo toho, kto tieto dejiny reálne písal. Kniha Fenomén Mečiar ponúka čitateľovi pohľad do zákulisia slovenskej politiky 90-tych rokov prostredníctvom exkluzívnych rozhovorov, ktoré so zakladateľom slovenskej štátnosti viedla skúsená novinárka Eva Zelenayová, priama svedkyňa turbulentných udalostí tej doby. Autorka prináša autentické svedectvo, osobnú výpoveď politika, ktorý päťkrát vyhral voľby a trikrát stál na čele vlády. Kniha predstavuje zdroj poznania pre každého, kto odmieta prijať čiernobiele videnie histórie. Je to pozvanie k hľadaniu pravdy o dobe, v ktorej sa Slovensko stalo sebavedomým hráčom na mape Európy.
Publikácia je obohatená o prepisy kľúčových parlamentných vystúpení Vladimíra Mečiara z rokov 2006 a 2008, ktoré dotvárajú obraz o jeho politickom odkaze.
Spoznajte históriu bez nánosov mediálnej manipulácie – priamo z prvej ruky.

Sinners Atone
I was bleeding out and halfway to Hell when God sent me an angel.
He had no business sending her to a man like me.
She was sunshine wrapped in pink glitter - soft where I was jagged, and gentle enough to hurt.
Under the sick glow of a streetlamp, I was delirious enough to tell her she was beautiful.
And when she smiled and asked me to say it again, I almost believed I could be saved.
But then she asked me something else.
Something that stole the air from my lungs.
"Can you keep a secret?"
Turns out, even angels have sins. And this one should've left me to die before my world destroyed us both….

Brimstone (Tündék és Alkímia 2.)
Kötelesség. Vér. Becsület. Hatalom.
Saeris Fane nem vágyott hatalomra.
Semmi örömét nem leli abban, hogy az egész udvar az ő nevét suttogja.
Sőt, most, hogy a Vér-udvar királynőjévé koronázták, rádöbben:
egy királynőnek nem lehet saját élete. Súlyos teher nehezedik a vállára.
Nevelője és öccse visszavárja őt a szülőföldjén… csakhogy azok a
változások, amelyek erősebbé tették Saerist, bizonyos szempontból
meg is gyengítették: most biztosan meghalna a két perzselő nap alatt.
Ez pedig azt jelenti, hogy ismét mást kell küldenie maga helyett…
Kingfisher hadseregeket győzött le és hátborzongató szörnyűségeket élt
túl, de a Zilvarenbe vezető út Carrion Swift oldalán talán kifog rajta.
Az a fickó egyszerűen képtelen csendben maradni. Miközben teljesíteniük
kell a küldetést, Ezüstváros szűk sikátoraiban rejtett veszélyek várnak
rájuk, és Fishernek meg kell fékeznie a csempészt is, ha újra látni akarja a párját.
Sötétség borult Yveliára. Saeris és Fisher tűzön, vízen
és kénkövön keresztül küzd, hogy megmentsék a világot.

A királyi ékszer
Amikor a tomboló vágy küzd a kötelességgel...
Wales, 1093
Nestának, Rhys herceg fiatal leányának meleg, kényelmes családi élete egy csapásra romba dől, amikor apját megölik, őt pedig fogságba ejtik. Becsülete újabb csorbát szenved, amikor akarata ellenére Vilmos király kíméletlen öccse, Henrik maga mellé veszi ágyasnak. Ráadásul Henrik
gyanús körülmények között trónra kerül...
Azonban Nesta életét igazából a házassága változtatja meg. Gerald FitzWalter, egy becsvágyó, fiatal lovag új királya iránti megingathatatlan hűségéért cserébe megkapja a lány kezét.
A lovag örömmel fogadja a jutalmat, hiszen távolról mindig is csodálta Nestát, akinek viszont az az egyetlen vigasza, hogy így visszatérhet hőn szeretett hazájába, Walesbe.
Ám ott nem tud ellenállni a walesi herceg jóképű, karizmatikus és veszélyes fia, Owain csábításának. Amikor a férfi felajánlja, hogy csatlakozzon a normann uralom megdöntésére irányuló tervéhez, Nestának választania kell a kötelesség és régi vágya között...

Veľmi skoro zistí, že továreň ovláda zlovestná sila, ktorá chce mať moc nad všetkým živým vrátane jeho novej kamarátky. Unico však v snahe zachrániť Čiko zabúda na oveľa väčšiu hrozbu: Venuša za ním vyslala legendárneho bojovníka.
Podarí sa Unicovi zachrániť Čiko? A kto zachráni Unica?

Titanic Women's Stories
‘I feel you have captured the essence of my Great Aunt Helen.’ – Howard Ostby, descendant of Titanic survivor Helen OstbyThe early 1900s were a man’s world, and the Titanic was no exception. Even today, the stories we know about that fateful night mostly revolve around men and their actions, despite there having been nearly 500 women and girls on board. From the stewardess who survived three different maritime disasters to the mother whose young children were kidnapped and taken aboard the Titanic, and from the Carpathia passenger whose reports on the Titanic started a journalism career to the woman who went down with the ship but who no one remembered seeing, Melinda E. Ratchford tells the stories of women whose lives were inextricably linked to the sinking, revealing the world as it was for women in 1912. Titanic Women’s Stories is an investigation into the lives of these women before, during and after the tragedy that irrevocably changed both their world and ours.
Tina
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES AND IRISH TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER. _ Hope taught me the meaning of life, Tina taught me the meaning of love. It's not everyday you meet a golden retriever in Thailand. When Niall came across a dog shackled to a short chain and in a poor state of health something reminded him of his personal battle with addiction. He knew he had to rescue her immediately – golden retrievers are rare in Thailand – but there was just something about this dog in particular that told him she was destined for more. He named her Tina, and what she did next is an incredible tale of survival, hope and love. Despite her terrible treatment at the hands of humans, she refused to distrust them or feel sorry for herself, and only opened her heart wider – always with a grin (yes dogs can smile) and a reassuring wag of her shaggy yellow tail. From the minute Tina was free of her chains, she got on with what needed to be done, inspiring a dog hospital to be built and named after her and helping dogs from all over the world – whether they're street dogs from Thailand or rescue pups in Montana. The movement behind Tina has not stopped. This is her story.
The Hitch
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ PickA riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dogRose Cutler prides herself on her principles—veganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Rose’s dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists it’s metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane—and the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.
One Fine Day

Later, down by the lake, the two unexpectedly bump into one another in a very annoying way, and come together, face to face in a stand-off. How will Bear and Moose clear the air?
BoyMum
''BoyMum is one of the most thought-provoking books I''ve read as a parent'' The Times BoyMum is about boys and young men - how we are raising them, and what it means to be a man-in-the-making in an era when #MeToo has challenged our tolerance for toxic masculinity, yet the pressure on young men to be ''masculine'' has never been more intense.It is also a mother''s perspective. Ruth Whippman is the proud/overwhelmed, feminist mother of three boys and her family life can be a daily confrontation with the triumph of nature over nurture. All too aware that her parenting today will shape the men her sons become tomorrow, she explores the expectations placed on boys - must boys be boys?; the messages we send girls but not boys (but they really need to hear too); boys in the classroom and boys online; incels; entitlement, sexual harassment and "cancel culture" and what radicalizes young men.Blending memoir with cultural analysis, and approaching her subject with wit, honesty and open-mindedness, this is a sympathetic investigation into where we are going wrong with raising boys, and how trying to change those patterns must be one of society''s most urgent cultural projects. Praise for Ruth Whippman and The Pursuit of Happiness - "A whip-sharp British Bill Bryson" The Sunday Times - "Ruth Whippman is whip-smart, her writing nothing short of genius" Huffington Post- The Pursuit of Happiness was a New York Post Best Book of 2016, a New York Times Editors'' Choice and Paperback Row pick, one of Newsweek''s ''Nine Books to Change the Way You Think in 2016'', a Sunday Times top summer read and a Daily Mail ''Must Read''.- Ruth Whippman manages the trick of being funny about what is, deep down, a serious problem: the American quest for happiness isn''t working" Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks- "I LOVED this book. I found it SO WELL WRITTEN, so witty and funny and reading it I was often envious of Ruth Whippman''s facility with language. It was a hugely engaging read, accessible and so relevant... I''ve been quite evangelical about it." Marian Keyes, best-selling author of Grown Ups
