Eric Cantona's 82 Goals
Eric Cantona is an enduring enigma. No Frenchman in the past 50 years has so successfully captured the British imagination. In scintillating essays that bring to life Cantona's wild swings - on what felt like a weekly basis - between hero and villain, this idiosyncratic catalogue of the footballer's 82 goals for Manchester United, describing the matches in which each goal was scored, is a close-up portrait of an unparalleled artist which takes the reader back to some of footballing's most cherished moments. Manchester United was dominating English football during this period, a run of success which began with their first league title in 26 years during the 1992-3 season. Inspiring younger players such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, Cantona was, and remains, an iconic figure, known for his style and effortless grace, his French flair and his unwavering, unapologetic non-conformity.
Lives of Bitter Rain
*2026 LOCUS FINALIST FOR BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL**SHORTLISTED FOR THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST SERIES*City-by-city, kingdom-by-kingdom, the Palleseen have sworn to bring ‘Perfection’ and ‘Correctness’ to an imperfect world. But before these ruthless Tyrant Philosophers send in their legions, they despatch Outreach – the rain before the storm. Outreach is that part of the Pal machine responsible for diplomacy — converting enemies into friends, achieving through words what an army of five thousand could not, urging the oppressed to overthrow the bloody-handed priests, evil necromancers and greedy despots that subjugate them. Angilly, twelve-years-old, a child of Pal soldiers stationed in occupied Jarokir, does not know it yet, but a sequence of accidents and questionable life choices will lead her to Outreach. As she travels from Jarrokir to Bracinta, Cazarkand, Lemas, The Holy Regalate of Stouk and finally, Usmai, she’ll learn that the price of her nation’s success is paid in compromise and lost chances, and that the falling rain will always be bitter. THE TYRANT PHILOSOPHERSA world steeped in magic of all flavours: divination, demonology, necromancy, alchemy, gods, monsters, portals to other dimensions and worlds — and what happens when it collides with an implacable foe — the Tyrant Philosophers — determined to bring reason, logic and ‘perfection’ to the exuberant magical chaos. 1. City of Last Chances: portrait of Ilmar, a city under Palleseen occupation2. House of Open Wounds: portrait of the Palleseen war machine at work. 3. Days of Shattered Faith: portrait of a kingdom consumed, piece-by-piece, by Palleseen diplomatic subterfuge and espionage. 3.1 Lives of Bitter Rain: a prequel novella to Days of Shattered Faith, portrait of a life in the Palleseen diplomatic corps. 4. Pretenders to the Throne of God: portrait of a city under siege. 5. The Grave of Perfection: return to Ilmar, the 'City of Last Chances' where our story began.

Don We Now Our Gay Apparel
Expand your understanding of the development and history of gay men’s dress with Shaun Cole’s groundbreaking work – from the subcultural world of the early 20th century to the clubs and bars of the 80s and 90s. Drawing upon first-hand interviews conducted with men across the UK and US, Cole analyzes the trends in dress adopted by gay men as well as the challenge gay style has posed to mainstream men’s fashion. Other sources such as contemporary magazines shed further light on the culture and discourse influencing gay men’s dress and, in the newly extended reading list, the author situates his own work among the landscape of recent writing on queer and gay men’s style. A new preface and afterword also reflect on the value of the research methodology employed by the text, as well as the changes in studies related to the central focus of Cole’s work. Whether you’re approaching it from a fashion studies, LGBTQ+ studies or sociology perspective, this re-issued text is a vital introduction for anyone interested in gay men’s fashion over the last 100 years.

Pokračování diplomacie - Sektor Hirano 1
Lidé už před staletími osídlili vzdálený sektor galaxie pojmenovaný Hirano, vytvořili mezihvězdné státy a navázali kontakt s jinými mimozemskými druhy.
Jenže lidé vždy zůstanou lidmi, a tak když Astonská unie a Ballingtonské společenství nezávisle na sobě objeví soustavu bohatou na vzácné suroviny, ani jedna ze stran se jí nechce vzdát. Na povrch vybublávají staré křivdy a nevraživost, a co začalo původně jako diplomatický spor, přerůstá ve vzájemné zastrašování s pomocí válečných lodí. Celá situace se pomalu vymyká kontrole…
Kniha obsahuje i novelu „Příliš blízké setkání“ a bonusovou povídku „Velitelské rozhodnutí“.
Probuzení Evropy
Kniha je souborem esejů a přednášek z let 1992 až 2026, které jsou zaměřené na nedávnou minulost, současnost, ale i možnou budoucnost Evropy. Důraz je kladen na střední Evropu, které se Jacques Rupnik dlouhodobě věnuje – čtenáři se zde otvírá autorův pohled na polistopadové dění nejen v Česku a sousedních zemích a jejich přemýšlení o Evropě a jejich dilemata mezi znovu získanou suverenitou a procesem evropské integrace. Hlavní myšlenkou knihy a tím, co texty spojuje, je nutnost toho, aby si Evropa uvědomila, že skončila éra otevřena rokem 1989 a v novém mezinárodním kontextu se dnes musí dokázat spojit, uvědomit si svou pozici v globalizovaném světě, a v důsledku se postarat sama o sebe – odtud i název publikace.
Jacques Rupnik navazuje na svou předchozí knihu Střední Evropa je jako pták s očima vzadu, vrací se k důležitým bodům nedávné historie středoevropského regionu a jeho podílu na transformaci Evropy.

Morsel
Lou did what the children of parents with backbreaking, poorly paying jobs are supposed to do: pulled up her bootstraps, went to college, and got an office gig with coworkers who won’t stop talking about their multilevel marketing scheme disguised as self-betterment. When Lou accepts a property appraisal assignment in the rural hills of Ohio, she knows it's her last chance to save her job and keep making rent. But she quickly finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sabotaged truck, her dog, and someone--or something--stalking her through the ancient Appalachian woods. If she can’t escape the woods in time, she’ll see firsthand that her job isn’t the only thing that wants to eat her alive. Morsel is The Blair Witch Project meets The Ritual, with a generous helping of The Menu, perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Cassandra Khaw, and Paul Tremblay
Uneasy Streets
Ghost neighbourhoods, trainless railways, empty offices—a bottom-up look at China’s footprint in British cities. At the high tide of UK–China relations, Chinese investors pumped billions into British property and projects each year, promising urban renewal and economic prosperity. But as political tides turned in both countries, the money dried up. A decade on, we live in the ruins of this ‘golden era’. Caroline Knowles explores China’s global influence from the bottom up. Focusing on London and Manchester, she contrasts Beijing’s grand claims with the ramshackle physical evidence she finds at street level: a series of half-finished buildings and abandoned holes in the ground. And this isn’t just a British phenomenon. All along the continent-spanning Belt and Road network, Chinese-funded cities are patchworks of incompleteness, the products of relentlessly profit-driven urbanism that puts people last. China’s soft-power city-making falls far short of the dreams displayed in glossy brochures. Combining urban observation with sharp commentary, interviewing property developers, Chinese migrants and other city-dwellers, Knowles paints an intimate, nuanced portrait. This is the material and human fabric of Chinese Britain.
