The Pepys Conspiracy
In 1679, Samuel Pepys is Secretary to the Admiralty, in charge of the navy, and at the right hand of King Charles. But also in 1679, England is awash with suspicion and fear. In this maelstrom of distrust, Pepys finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy, charged with treason and facing a crooked trial and potential execution. The only person who can save him is his brother, Balthazar, and Balthazar’s twin children, Betty and Sam – precociously smart and deviously determined – and the three set off on a journey to prove Pepys’ innocence. A clever and witty adventure which will make you think about Pepys in an entirely new light…
Before I Knew I Loved You
The sixth book in the multi-million-copy bestselling series about a cosy Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time.
In a special seat in a fabled Tokyo cafe, you're offered something irresistible - not just a warm, comforting coffee, but the chance to go back in time to revisit the ones you love . . .
In Before I knew I loved you, Toshikazu Kawaguchi takes us back to the warm heart of the mysterious Funiculi Funicula Cafe, with another four guests whose luminous stories of love, lost and won again, will reaffirm your belief in its eternal potential. In this book, we meet:
- The girl who wishes to make amends with the mother she never accepted
- The man who waited for a reply from his girlfriend, and never heard from her
- The woman anxious to travel ahead to know what her future holds
- The student who travels back to meet his father again, who passed away many years before.
Yet the same rules always apply - you must return before the coffee gets cold. And while it does, memories are revisited, people are changed forever, and the enduring power of love transcends the boundaries of time.
The sixth book in the phenomenal, bestselling series, translated from Japanese, Before I knew I loved you asks the irresistible question: what would you do if you were offered the chance to go back in time?
Zapomenutí mrtví
Tragické lidské osudy od česko-rakouské hranice
Kniha přináší příběhy a autentická svědectví o těch, kteří zemřeli při pokusu překročit československo-rakouskou hranici v letech 1948–1989. Ale i o těch, kdo u ní zahynuli pouhou náhodou. Na základě archivních materiálů, výpovědí pamětníků i vlastního bádání odhalují autoři příběhy třiapadesáti obětí železné opony v úseku mezi Dolním Rakouskem a jižní Moravou. Chronologicky řazené kapitoly nabízejí příběhy těch, kteří zemřeli v drátech nabitých elektřinou, v minovém poli nebo zasaženi střelbou pohraničníků. Publikace zachycuje nejen osobní tragédie, ale i mechanismy státní moci, která touhu po svobodě trestala smrtí. Rehabilituje zapomenuté oběti a vrací jim jména — a v řadě případů i tváře.

Dark Night
The profound, hugely influential exploration of spiritual growth and transformation, from one of the great Spanish mystics and poets
'Oh living flame of love,
how tenderly you scorch me'
The poetry of the sixteenth-century Spanish mystic, St John of the Cross, has inspired and consoled for hundreds of years, influencing writers from James Joyce to Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill to T. S. Eliot. This new edition of his essential works, in a sensitive and luminous translation by Martha Sprackland, gathers John of the Cross's complete poems and a selection of his prose, including from his extended commentary on the poem 'Dark Night'. In his immediate, sensual writing, we see a soul searching for meaning and union with the divine: both meek and bold, deserving and undeserving, oscillating between light and dark, soaring and falling, desperation and salvation. Dark Night gives us a picture of faith at once confronting and inspiriting, and of the power of words as a means of spiritual transcendence.
Translated by Martha Sprackland, with an Introduction by Colin Thompson
Mega Builds
Construction is the most important industry in the world. The homes we wake up in, the schools where our children learn, the transportation networks we depend on, and the hospitals that care for us all exist because they were designed and built.
In Mega Builds, YouTube creator Fred Mills takes readers inside ten extraordinary megaprojects that are reshaping the modern world. Offering a front-row seat to some of the most ambitious engineering feats ever attempted, Mills delivers a fact-filled global tour that reveals how these vast undertakings are redefining what is possible.
Inside, you will discover:
Why the world’s largest city has been built in one of the most inhospitable locations on Earth.
How the vision of a single ruler in the desert is challenging our assumptions about the limits of design and construction.
What compels us to build ever-taller skyscrapers and ever-faster trains.
And how the scale of human imagination today is shaping the cities and infrastructure of tomorrow.
The story of our civilization is being written not only in books, but in steel, concrete, glass, and earth. Mega Builds reveals how the structures rising around us are defining the future of the man-made world.

'Heartachingly beautiful' Lisa Ridzén, author of WHEN THE CRANES FLY SOUTH
Every summer, Ingá, her mother Rávdná, and her Aunt ¦nne travel west to their village on the lake. But the summer Ingá is thirteen, they arrive to find their home and possessions have disappeared under water, the land flooded by a dam built to supply hydropower to a society that has continually stolen from them.
The Home of the Drowned follows these women's fortunes over forty years - from 1942 to 1982 - as the water their people have lived near for centuries is transformed into a menacing force that threatens all they hold dear.
Defying the authorities, Rávdná decides to build a house on the lake to replace what was lost, becoming an unlikely activist. Meanwhile, ¦nne's health is in decline, and a concerned Ingá merely longs to live like everyone else - an impossible wish when the Swedish state is relentlessly drowning her world.
Elin Anna Labba's debut novel brings Sámi history to the fore, revealing connections between land, water and people that hauntingly reverberate with the question: what is it that makes a home?

It's 1958. A time of Rock and Roll, of protest, riot and change… and London is full of danger. Dennis Knuckleyard is finally growing up, and above all he wants to leave the Great When in the past. For nine years, he's avoided so much as thinking about the magical shadow version of London, managing even to palm off what should've been his last souvenir of that experience - an iron key he secretly brought back.
But while Dennis may believe he's done with the Great When, it's not done with him. The unsuspecting rube now in possession of the key has discovered its magical properties, bringing forth mythic, occult beings into Dennis's London and sparking riots in the capital. Worse still, Dennis hears his first love Grace has returned to the Great When to investigate strange happenings in both cities.
Desperate to keep Grace safe and return London to normal, Dennis follows her back into the hidden city. But once it has him back, The Great When will not let him go away again so easily. He and Grace must fight to set things right or forever lose everything.
Electrifying, absurd, magical and more true than you might believe, I Hear A New World takes the reader back to Long London for a thrilling and fantastical second instalment.
