From one of the great Chinese authors of the twentieth century, these newly translated stories illuminate the most intimate matters of the human heart

The Dead
At a Christmas party, a revelation shatters a man's complacency forever
At a winter gathering in Dublin, friends and family come together for an evening of music, conversation and ritual.

Dějiny člověka - Kniha druhá
Další fascinující příběh Současného Člověka od počátků až po současnost. To, co nás neslo, už nestačí. Autoři Marty Q Nowak a Martin Kváča v druhém dílu Dějin Člověka pokračují tam, kde se věci přestávají vyslovovat nahlas a začínají být spíše tušeny, kde známé myšlenky mění význam a vracejí se jinak, než jak jsme je znali, a kde to, co se zdálo vzdálené, už nelze přehlédnout, protože některé věci se nesdělují, jen se s nimi setkáme.
Twenty-Twenty Vision
Christine Beckett is faced with some home truths when her best friend, suffering from dementia, decides after a lifetime to be honest with her; Olivia Fletcher has an epiphany at a vaccination centre about a man who has loved her for decades; Bernard Travers revisits an unlikely romantic interlude with the mother of his teenage pen pal that has sustained him for 40 years. Twenty-Twenty Vision is a collection of interlinked short stories about hindsight and late middle-age regret subtly framed within the first year of the pandemic. It’s also a portrait, an emotional map of the 1950s generation moving into the third age with a mixture of apprehension and regret. The characters make chastening discoveries – one finds after a lifetime that she’s a bullying victim, another draws up a curriculum vitae of her emotional life when there are no jobs left to apply for. The work focuses on a handful of characters – Christine, Olivia, Bernard, Freddie, Triona and Eva – as they revisit their past and grapple with late-life perspectives. The overarching narrative is connected by character and situation, and united in theme, to form a tapestry of late middle-age reckoning.

Kvak a Žbluňk jsou kamarádi
Úsměvné a hřejivé vyprávění o dvou kamarádech, zeleném žabákovi Kvakovi a hnědém ropušákovi Žbluňkovi, potěšilo čtenáře nejen v zemi svého vzniku, ale i u nás (včetně dalších pokračování). Kdo by si tedy znovu rád nepřečetl o drobných příhodách a patáliích, které potkaly oba přátele, když se na jaře probudili ze zimního spánku.

Válka jsme my
Povídková kniha Válka jsme my obsahuje deset dramatických příběhů Čechů a Slováků, zasazených do širokého časového rámce od druhé světové války přes Indočínu a Vietnam až po Afghánistán. Některé jsou inspirovány skutečnými osudy, jiné jsou fiktivní, všechny jsou však ukotveny v historických reáliích, které se odehrály, nebo se odehrát mohou.
Jak říká autor knihy: „Válka změní vše. Zažere se vám pod kůži, dostane do žaludku, změní se v nekonečnou noční můru. A je jedno, zda se odehrává na druhém konci světa, za humny, nebo na vlastním dvorku. Je všudypřítomná. VÁLKA JSME MY. Vždy tomu tak bylo a bude.“
The Makeup Remover: Volume 2
The real competition is just getting started, both inside and out. . . .
After successfully passing the preliminary round of Face-Off Cinderella, wallflower Kim Yeseul
feels a bit more confident in herself, thanks to makeup artist Cheon Yuseong's ability to
transform her looks. Now, in addition to the show's cosmetic challenges, the duo must face a
new obstacle: keeping Yeseul's identity a secret on live TV.
To hide her face during broadcasts, Yeseul dons a costume of her favorite bunny character,
Toseul. But the other contestants won't let her fly under the radar so easily - especially not Ju
Heewon, who's still seething after being rejected by Yuseong. Can Yeseul make it through the
next round without being discovered - or worse, sabotaged by another contestant?
Volume 2 collects episodes 15-29 of the webcomic The Makeup Remover.
Flyboy in the Buttermilk
An electrifying collection of essays from legendary cultural critic and Pulitzer Prize-winner Greg Tate
'Easily one of the greatest wordsmiths … [and] the best American writer and thinker of the past forty years' Washington Post
From one of the most original, creative, and provocative writers on American culture comes a now-classic collection of essays, delving 'far and wide into Black music, into film, into the beats and rhyme of culture' (Questlove).
These pieces orbit social, pop cultural, political, and economic subjects-- from the rise of hip-hop, the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat, the music of Miles Davis, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bad Brains, and many others, to the crisis of the Black intellectual and the irony of the GOP recruiting Black Americans. With unrivalled flair, Tate writes in a voice that is at once angry, joyous, self-critiquing, and dazzlingly witty.
Tate teaches us 'it is not too late to say too much, to be so dissatisfied with the world as it is that we throw far too many words toward the sky, and see what the heavens throw back' (Hanif Abdurraqib).
I Can't Believe I Don't Have a Boyfriend
Get ready for more romantic tragedies! Patch basically has a boyfriend now, but get ready for him to embark on an even bigger challenge in I Can't Believe I Don't Have a Boyfriend . . . keeping him.
Here's the situation. I recently fell for a charismatic American called Peter, only to realize that his best friend Sam (emotionally intelligent, thoughtful) was the one I actually wanted. In a thrilling twist of fate I found out that they both fancy me! Although they haven’t told each other about their feelings for me (exhausting). You couldn’t make it up! And I really promise I haven’t.
So, to surmise, I have specifically three concerns going into the new year:
Am I in a relationship with Sam?
Have Sam and Peter had a conversation about me?
Is it possible to wear too much moisturiser?
The Housewife
"The Housewife is everything I look for in a thriller: fast-paced with red-hot mounting tension. I was hooked from the very first chapter." - Freida McFadden
From the celebrated author of Finders Keepers comes a brand new, deliciously dark thriller about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.
***
Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.
When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears-obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.
But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined-and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.
Natalie Barelli delivers a supercharged, addictive thriller that will have you hooked from start to finish-a must-read for psychological thriller and Freida McFadden fans.

Lichočar
Brno. Rok 1999. Přemysl „Přemek“ Příhoda, doktorand Masarykovy univerzity, si připravuje podklady pro svou doktorskou tezi o tajemném božstvu, proplétajícím se dějinami. Z akademického zájmu se brzy stane touha, pak obsese, a pak… Lichočar, kniha vydaná autorkami ze stejnojmenné witch-folkové kapely, je knihou o putování – Evropou, pověstmi, lidovými vyprávěnkami a starými vírami. Je to kniha o paměti. Individuálních vzpomínkách zachycených v denících a emailech – našeho hrdiny, jeho kolegů, přátel, nepřátel i historických osobností. Ale též paměti krajiny zničené válkou, takové, přes kterou se převalily dějiny a většinu paměti si odnesly. Je to kniha detektivní. Spolu s Přemkem jdeme po stopách čehosi, co si bere jména, podoby a životy. Co způsobuje neštěstí a z rozmaru rozdává nevyžádané dary. Jako refrén celým příběhem zní licho, lichoradka, lichočar… A v neposlední řadě je to kniha o kráse. Kráse hledání i tápání, kráse vědění, kráse slovanské a vůbec evropské mytologie, kráse strachu a přírody. Na pomezí fantastiky, detektivky a exkurze do bájné minulosti stojí Lichočar a vás s potměšilým šklebem zve, abyste ho následovali. Ale pozor. Licho nespí… Licho ví.
