Farewell to Russia
*‘Brilliantly introduces us to faraway countries about which we should know more.’ Tim Marshall, author of Prisoners of GeographyThey might have said goodbye to the USSR – but can they ever say farewell to Russi? now, concrete, the KGB: that’s the cliché of the Soviet Union. But its collapse in 1991 sparked a story at once messier and more compelling than any stereotype. Thirty-five years on, Moscow may brim with champagne bars and blacked-out Mercedes – but what became of the other fourteen states that emerged from the ashe? n the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Joe Luc Barnes crossed the former USSR to find out, from the gleaming towers of Azerbaijan to the former gulags of Kazakhstan, tech-hungry Estonia to the minarets of Uzbekistan. Along the way, he finds epic mountains, cobblestoned old towns and storied Silk Road cities – not to mention Georgian wine, Armenian brandy and vodka in industrial supply. Travelling thousands of miles, he gathers a chorus of voices: nomads in mountain yurts, TikTok-fuelled activists, small-town taxi drivers and many who still look uneasily over their shoulder for the secret police. With insight, empathy and a healthy dose of mordant wit, he asks what has happened – and why – to the people and their hopes and dreams since the great promise of independence. By turns hilarious, angry and heart-stopping, this is a darkly comic, deeply human portrait of a region the West still misunderstands – and a warning of what happens when empires break but the habits of empire refuse to die. If you loved The Silk Roads, Nothing to Envy or The Places in Between, and have a soft spot for Bill Bryson, clear space on your shelf: this is the book for you. Joe Luc Barnes speaks fluent Russian and is one of the few people, if not the only person, to have visited all 15 former Soviet countries since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Offers essential insights into a restless region where Russia, China and the West all vie for dominance. Covers: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Ukraine – and, of course, Russia.

Even Beyond Death
'The storytelling is so addictive. This is sexy, witty, tense and touching - a terrific achievement' Patrick Gale'Even Beyond Death is a remarkable achievement - passionate, witty, and moving. A smart, spirited and highly original historical novel, written with tremendous flair, humour and compassion' Antonia Hodgson'Prepare to be seduced. Even Beyond Death is a ravishingly flamboyant, risqué delight of a novel. This liaison dangereuse is an exquisite romance - but beware a broken heart' Essie Fox'A feast of a book. Witty and bright. The tonic I needed with an addictive love story at its heart. Readers will be swept away by it' Molly Aitken'Like the wicked child of Fleabag and Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Knowing, hilarious, tragic and lust-filled - a gripping gay love story with a touchingly tender heart beneath the plumed hats and codpieces' Sofka ZinovieffIt is 1657, and 24-year-old Marquis Jehan de Baudelaire - Avignon's most striking and sought-after bachelor - is in desperate need of a wife, an heir, and, most urgently, a new valet. Enter Jonathan Kryk, a vision of breath-taking beauty. Despite his immense wealth and high status, Jehan finds himself ensnared by the rigid constraints of his era and social rank. His longing for the man who tends to him daily, who dresses and bathes him, remains an impossible dream. Spies lurk everywhere - can he trust anyone in his household, even his own family? The ever-watchful eyes of God and the law put him in immense danger. Lavish and steamy, mischievous and dramatic, Even Beyond Death is the story of a man in love. Not for him a history of military battles and political allegiance, royalty and lineage. With the aid of his disapproving scribe, Jehan wishes to record a memoire of love and tenderness: a 'catalogue of desire'. Fiona Melrose's daring new novel is a passionate and heart-wrenching tale of the sacrifices we make for true love.

Pán Masters
Je mocný, starší a je to môj šéf. Vražedná kombinácia.
Výraz spokojnosť v práci pri ňom nadobúda úplne nový význam.
Keď som klamala vo svojom životopise, nečakala som, že na tom bude záležať.
Veď každé dieťa ma jednoducho musí milovať. Narodila som sa pre to, aby som bola opatrovateľkou. Navyše, keď som sa uchádzala o miesto, myslela som si, že budem pracovať pre ženu. Lenže Julian Masters je poriadny kus chlapa... presne ten typ, o ktorom snívate, že z neho zlížete čokoládu.
Prvý deň bol zlý.
Deti boli ako sto čertov a ja som ho prichytila, ako robí niečo obscénne... a zároveň fascinujúce.
Druhý deň bol ešte horší.
Prichytil ma, ako snorím v jeho kúpeľňovej skrinke v krátkom pyžamku a rozpútalo sa peklo.
Na tretí deň...
... som ho prešla golfovým vozíkom.
No a na štvrtý deň...
... som sa rozhodla, že mám chuť na čokoládu... horúcu a roztopenú... na ňom.
Lenže inteligentní, ovdovení sudcovia sa nezvyknú zamilovať do bláznivých opatrovateliek. Alebo žeby predsa?
Krvavý erb, 2. vydanie
Obľúbená autorka historických romancí Jana Pronská nám vo svojom ôsmom románe približuje dramatické obdobie našich stredovekých dejín a na jeho pozadí rozohráva strhujúci príbeh o úkladoch, pomste a neľútostnom zápase o moc, ale predovšetkým o sile pravej lásky, za ktorú sa oplatí bojovať.
Eliz Zachovej, dcére veľmoža Feliciána Zacha, život doprial milujúcu rodinu, bohatého ctiteľa, privilegované postavenie, bohatstvo. Za jeden deň však prišla o všetko. Keď v kráľovskom paláci znásilnili jej sestru, zúfalý otec s mečom v ruke zaútočil na kráľa. Feliciána, ktorého pri útoku zabili, kráľ vyhlásil za vlastizradcu a jeho zneuctenú dcéru i ostatných príbuzných dal popraviť. Pre Eliz, ktorá len vďaka šťastnej náhode zostala nažive, sa začal boj o holý život.
Dominika Omodeja stihol podobný osud. Pred rokmi sa zachránil ako jediný mužský potomok kedysi mocného rodu, ktorý sa kráľ rozhodol vyhubiť, a stal sa vyvrheľom -- zbojníkom Zoranom. Zmariť kráľovu pomstu voči Zachovcom je preňho vecou cti, no keď sa podujme Eliz zachrániť, neráta s tým, že odvážnej dievčine sa podarí obmäkčiť jeho zatvrdnuté srdce, v ktorom dovtedy nebolo miesto pre lásku...

Profesionálny vyjednávač
Vyjednávanie je súčasťou nášho každodenného života – v priemere vyjednávame osemkrát denne, aj keď si to
často ani neuvedomujeme. A zvyčajne pri tom platí jednoduché pravidlo: ak nevyjednávame my, niekto iný vy-
jednáva za nás – a ak niekto iný vyjednáva za nás, šanca, že dostaneme to, čo skutočne chceme a potrebujeme,
dramaticky klesá.
Autor v knihe odhaľuje, ako preniesť princípy krízového policajného vyjednávania do každodenného bežného
života, či do sveta obchodu a podnikania, kde sú v hre peniaze, reputácia a udržateľné, dlhodobé vzťahy.
Zároveň ukazuje, že precízne použitie mäkkých zručností prináša rukolapné a merateľné výsledky.
Kniha je jedinečná v tom, že spája svet policajného „miesta činu“ s realitou biznis rokovaní. Odhaľuje stratégie,
mentálne protokoly a psychologické princípy, ktoré zvyšujú pravdepodobnosť dosiahnutia dohody aj tam, kde by
sa zdalo, že dohoda už nie je možná. V centre pozornosti stojí rešpektujúci mentálny koučing – disciplína, ktorá
mení vyjednávanie z taktického súboja na produktívnu sociálnu interakciu plnú empatie a racionálnej stratégie.
Profesionálny vyjednávač však nie je iba kniha o technikách. Je to aj pozvánka do sveta, kde sa z rokovaní stáva
umenie – umenie, ktoré mení nielen výsledky, ale aj človeka, ktorý ich dosahuje.

Fogoly 2. - Éldekorált kiadás
A hatalmi harcok által dúlt Scott-dinasztia válaszút előtt áll.
Egy év telt el azóta, hogy Asher elűzte Ellát az életéből. A fiatal lány lelkén ejtett sebek lassan gyógyulásnak indulnak, miközben a férfi képtelen kiverni a fejéből a kék szempár emlékét. Azonban a világ egyik legveszélyesebb bűnszövetkezete, a Scott-hálózat vezetője túl büszke ahhoz, hogy megkeresse Ellát. Egészen addig, amíg útjaik újra keresztezik egymást.
Asheren eluralkodik a birtoklási vágy, és elhatározza, hogy újra lángra lobbantja Ella, az ő „angyala” szerelmét - ám azzal nem számol, hogy saját érzései is fellángolnak.
Ahogy azzal sem, hogy Ella nem bocsátotta meg neki, amit vele művelt. És bár Ash jó ideig uralta Ella szívét, ez az angyal most mindent megtesz, hogy felégesse a férfi világát - akkor is, ha a lángviharba ő is belevész.
Sarah Rivens francia dark romance szenzációja, a Fogoly második része érzelmekkel és fordulatokkal teli, sötét olvasmány.
