The Serpent


An old man living at the height of his powers of recall and memory tells the story of his life on the day of his death from the vantage point on a hill above the village where he was born. Quietly narrated and yet raging with will and the passion of youth, this is a novel about fathers and sons, hope and hope’s death, and how we might live in the world before leaving it. In the company of such masterpieces as Seethaler’s A Whole Life and Tolstoy’s The Death of Ivan Ilyich. A wildly immersive story, The Serpent will grip the reader from the outset and is a provocative and an-putdownable study of what it is to be human.

Alight with Hidden Glory


"The richness of [these] reflections will continue for a long time to be for us a source of blessing, of grace, of encounter with Jesus Christ." Pope Leo XIVAlight with Hidden Glory brings together the reflections preached by Bishop Erik Varden to Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Curia at the 2026 Lent retreat. Informed by Scripture and the liturgy, illumined by the insights of Bernard of Clairvaux, a man who helped shape medieval Europe, the book addresses questions of timeless relevance: What is the meaning of freedom? How can we speak well about truth? How do we respond when high ideals are compromised by human betrayal? Erik Varden reveals Lent not as deprivation but as a clarifying pilgrimage toward Christ’s ‘hidden glory’. This contemplative yet urgent work invites readers to walk the exodus path with renewed courage, vigilance, and hope.

Ray Khan


Ray Khan was the most unlikely confidential informant in law enforcement history, yet he found himself a fugitive, running from the same government he had helped. Ray Khan was born and raised in Gujarat, India, where his father was an officer with the Indian National Police. Wanting to follow in his footsteps, Ray took the entrance exam for the IPS three times but failed each time, so he followed his wife to the US to chase the American dream. However, things did not work out, and Ray ended up losing his wife and his legal immigration status. After moving to Georgia and buying his first convenience store, Ray unknowingly walked into an undercover ATF operation and purchased untaxed cigarettes. Shortly after, he was arrested and scheduled for deportation. However, by becoming a confidential informant for ATF Special Agent Lou Valoze, Ray was able to avoid deportation and quickly worked off his charges. Over the next six years, he would prove himself to be one of the most successful informants in ATF history. Valoze, recognizing Ray’s unique skills, used him in several undercover operations, and Ray proved his worth by bringing hundreds of violent criminals who sold thousands of crime guns and hundreds of kilograms of narcotics to Valoze and his undercover team. Valoze and Ray would eventually develop a relationship that went beyond the usual agent and informant relationship. But, during the entire time he was working as an informant, he was being targeted by a corrupt, high-level officer with the Georgia Department of Revenue. After Ray and Valoze concluded one of the most successful undercover operations in history, Valoze’s career imploded, and Ray found himself in the crosshairs of numerous corrupt Georgia officials. After being indicted on state RICO charges, Ray evaded the law and became a fugitive in New York City. Having learned many things while working with Valoze, Ray would eventually turn the tables on his corrupt pursuers.

Katechismus katolické církve


Třetí, opravené a pečlivě zrevidované české vydání Katechismu katolické církve vychází z oficiální verze (editio typica) schválené papežem sv. Janem Pavlem II. a vůbec poprvé obsahuje nové znění článku 2267 o trestu smrti, schválené papežem Františkem. Porozumění textu pomůže i Malý úvod do Katechismu katolické církve od Josepha Ratzingera a Christopha Schönborna. Katechismus katolické církve podává ucelený výklad katolické nauky, z něhož poznáváme, co vyznává a co slaví, čím žije a jak se modlí církev. Výklad katolické věrouky a morálky vychází z Bible, z liturgie i z bohaté tradice církve, rozšířené na všech kontinentech, a na přání otců Druhého vatikánského koncilu se přibližuje současným životním podmínkám. Katechismus je rozčleněn do čtyř částí: I. Vyznání víry (souhrn věrouky); II. Slavení křesťanského tajemství (liturgie a svátosti církve); III. Život v Kristu (lidské jednání; svědomí, štěstí, ctnosti, hřích; osobní a společenská morálka; Desatero); IV. Křesťanská modlitba (povolání k modlitbě a zápas o ni; výklad Otčenáše). Katechismus je spolehlivým vodítkem pro křesťany na celém světě – zejména pro ty, kdo nesou odpovědnost za katechezi ve své farnosti, pro kněze, biskupy, teology, ale i laiky, kteří se snaží svou víru žít tváří v tvář mnoha tíživým situacím a výzvám. Cenný je také pro všechny, kdo řeší praktické problémy jednotlivců i komunit, ptají se po odpovědích katolické víry a morálky, ale přitom žijí mimo dosah církve – pro novináře, lékaře, právníky, ekonomy, politiky, pedagogy, pracovníky v sociální a zdravotní oblasti aj. Pečlivě uspořádaná publikace je vybavena přehlednými shrnutími, propracovanými rejstříky a vnitřními odkazy. Nihil obstat: Prokop Brož, pomocný biskup královéhradecký Církevní schválení ze dne 28. září 2025: Josef Nuzík, arcibiskup olomoucký a předseda České biskupské konference.

Against Gravity


Against Gravity: the title alludes to our struggle with mortality as we age and, by contrast, the pleasures of play, imagination, creativity. Robert Saxton’s latest poetry book is dedicated to a friend whose heart gave out on a Scottish mountain. But in counterpoint to the elegaic, it offers humour too, often with dark overtones. The subject matter is wide-ranging – from the late Queen to the pitfalls of indexing, from Nero’s theatre to trouser suits for modern brides, from a bat roost in a Portuguese library to the Hollywood Sign. The book concludes with a visit to Vita Sackvillle-West’s garden at Sissinghurst, exploring intergenerational friendship as well as Vita’s visionary genius and unconventional love life. Wherever his focus falls, Saxton shows accomplished craftsmanship and an eye for telling detail, with surprises on every page.

Oldenland


'Discover the secret to thriving in old age' Telegraph'In front of me is an adventure with old age as my companion, my shadow and confederate, maybe my friend.'Old age is a country, and we need to learn to walk through it. And that's just what Roger Clough, former Professor of Social Care, lifelong hill walker, and current resident of 'Oldenland' spends his time doing. Where he used to study the terrain of ageing like a scientist, now he understands it as a farmer might, walking its contours every day from his retirement village in the Peak District, while still negotiating the physical peaks and troughs of the area. Whilst there are a lot of books that cover the topic of 'how to have a good death', there is little that offers us advice on the time period that comes before that. How do we learn to actually be old? How do we spend our later years in a meaningful way that makes sense of who we've been and who we are now? Not in blithely positive denial in the face of our physical and cognitive decline, or overtaken with regret of a life that's running down the clock, but empowered to not lose who we are; to say 'I am still me'. And, if we have not yet arrived at its borders, how can we better understand those who live there, and better prepare ourselves for a future when we will become citizens to? ritten over 25 years and innumerable journeys, Oldenland is a unique and moving companion to the experiences of old age, and how to make it count. 'Profound and reflective . . . a truly valuable addition to the conversation about ageing in our greying society' Country Squire'Courageous, beautiful and very moving' Jamie Jauncey, author of Don Roberto
