Vrah mezi námi
Na oslavu konce střední školy se Izzy vydává s přáteli do okouzlujícího ostrovního sídla Ashwood, dějiště jejího oblíbeného černobílého filmu z dvacátých let. Tady mají celý týden předstírat, že se vrátili do zlaté éry Hollywoodu a jeho večírků. To znamená dobové kostýmy, koktejly, luxusní večeře, ale taky příležitost urovnat staré i nové spory.
Jenže místo toho, aby se kamarádi usmířili, to spíš vypadá, že se sežerou zaživa. Dva dny plné hádek a osočování vyvrcholí smrtí jednoho z nich. A protože Blaine lezl na nervy prakticky každému, jsou podezřelí všichni. Jenže kdo z nich vraždil?
Žárlivá přítelkyně? Jeji zoufala konkurentka? Uraženy kamarád z dětství, jeho ambiciózní nástupce, či snad kluk, který Blainem odjakživa opovrhoval?
Anebo to udělala sama Izzy? Vždyť to ona s sebou na odlehly ostrov přivezla vražednou zbraň.

Jeřábi táhnou na jih
Boovi Andersonovi v životě zbývají už jen pravidelné návštěvy pečovatelské služby, věrná psí láska a zavařovací sklenice se šátkem dosud vonícím po milované manželce. Víko sklenice už ale jeho revmatické prsty otevřít nedokážou. Čas se krátí a Bo by ještě rád napravil ochladlý vztah se synem. Jenže ten se teď snaží otce připravit i o poslední útěchu v životě — psa Sixtena. Obavy, že přijde o oddaného společníka, ve starém muži vyvolají bouři emocí, která ho nutí ohlédnout se za svým životem, otcovstvím i za tím, jakým způsobem dával najevo lásku.

Tell Me Where It Hurts
We can move the dial on pain.
Leading expert Rachel Zoffness bridges the gap between medicine and psychology to get to the heart of treating pain.
Every one of us will experience pain, be it back pain, the pain of childbirth, or living in an ageing body. Not a single one of us will escape. But what if everything you thought you knew about pain was wrong?
We’ve been told that pain is purely physical, something to do just with bones and body parts. The truth is that pain is constructed by the brain – influenced not just by injuries, but also by emotions, expectations and environment. This means you have infinitely more control over pain than you ever imagined: because if the brain can change, pain can change.
Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and rich patient stories, Rachel Zoffness completely upends the myths we’ve been told – finally reconnecting physical and emotional pain, and providing a roadmap for healing. The fact is that chronic pain is treatable. But to do that, we must target the whole person, not just a body part.
Whether you live with chronic pain or know someone who does, this book offers more than insight – it offers an empowering way forward.
Liga výjimečných omnibus (základní verze)
Londýn, rok 1898. Viktoriánská éra se pomalu uzavírá, nadchází dvacáté století. Po stagnaci přichází čas velkých změn, doba cudného pořádku i sprostého chaosu. Doba si žádá hrdinů. Těmi není nikdo jiný než Wilhelmina Murrayová, Allan Quatermain, kapitán Nemo, Hawley Griffin, doktor Jekyll a pan Hyde. Dohromady tvoří Ligu výjimečných. Těchto šest dobrodruhů, naverbovaných tajuplným Campionem Bondem a vázaných rozkazy záhadného „pana M“, přispěchá na pomoc ohroženému impériu. Musí se postavit zločinnému Doktorovi a zmařit jeho plán na ovládnutí světa… aby hned poté čelila novému nebezpečí! Jen Liga výjimečných se dokáže postavit Marťanům zakutým ve strojích na třech nohách a ozbrojeným smrtícím tepelným paprskem! V omnibusovém vydání vychází komiksová klasika Alana Moora (Watchmen: Strážci, V jako Vendeta, Z pekla) a Kevina O’Neilla (Nemesis the Warlock, Marshal Law), ve které se největší hrdinové viktoriánské literatury setkávají, aby v popkulturních orgiích čelili velmi povědomému zlu.
Anna Karenina
Love... it means too much to me, far more than you can understand.At its simplest, Anna Karenina is a love story. It is a portrait of a beautiful and intelligent woman whose passionate love for a handsome officer sweeps aside all other ties - to her marriage and to the network of relationships and moral values that bind the society around her. The love affair of Anna and Vronsky is played out alongside the developing romance of Kitty and Levin, and in the character of Levin, closely based on Tolstoy himself, the search for happiness takes on a deeper philosophical significance. One of the greatest novels ever written, Anna Karenina combines penetrating psychological insight with an encyclopedic depiction of Russian life in the 1870s. The novel takes us from high society St Petersburg to the threshing fields on Levin''s estate, with unforgettable scenes at a Moscow ballroom, the skating rink, a race course, a railway station. It creates an intricate labyrinth of connections that is profoundly satisfying, and deeply moving. Rosamund Bartlett''s translation conveys Tolstoy''s precision of meaning and emotional accuracy in an English version that is highly readable and stylistically faithful. Like her acclaimed biography of Tolstoy, it is vivid, nuanced, and compelling.

Chinese Cosmopolitanism
A provocative defense of a forgotten Chinese approach to identity and differenceHistorically, the Western encounter with difference has been catastrophic: the extermination and displacement of aboriginal populations, the transatlantic slave trade, and colonialism. China, however, took a different historical path. In Chinese Cosmopolitanism, Shuchen Xiang argues that the Chinese cultural tradition was, from its formative beginnings and throughout its imperial history, a cosmopolitan melting pot that synthesized the different cultures that came into its orbit. Unlike the West, which cast its collisions with different cultures in Manichean terms of the ontologically irreconcilable difference between civilization and barbarism, China was a dynamic identity created out of difference. The reasons for this, Xiang argues, are philosophical: Chinese philosophy has the conceptual resources for providing alternative ways to understand pluralism. Xiang explains that “Chinese” identity is not what the West understands as a racial identity; it is not a group of people related by common descent or heredity but rather a hybrid of coalescing cultures. To use the Western discourse of race to frame the Chinese view of non-Chinese, she argues, is a category error. Xiang shows that China was both internally cosmopolitan, embracing distinct peoples into a common identity, and externally cosmopolitan, having knowledge of faraway lands without an ideological need to subjugate them. Contrasting the Chinese understanding of efficacy—described as “harmony”—with the Western understanding of order, she argues that the Chinese sought to gain influence over others by having them spontaneously accept the virtue of one’s position. These ideas from Chinese philosophy, she contends, offer a new way to understand today’s multipolar world and can make a valuable contribution to contemporary discussions in the critical philosophy of race.
Fantasies of the Body
In this short, masterful gem of a novel, David Plante’s seasoned narrator contemplates the connection between physical beauty and love, drawing on literary references and personal experiences to explore these themes.The unnamed narrator of this brief, urgent novel, a young novelist making his way in the literary world, writes of his fascination with two enigmatic, troubled young men, one a Boston Brahmin and the other a lofty undergraduate at England’s Cambridge University whom the narrator meets during his writer-in-residency. With each young man the narrator engages in a complex relationship filled with intellectual and erotic tension and each relationship leaves him feeling unfulfilled. By contrast, the narrator relates the story of his deep and abiding romantic life with an English poet, who introduces him to the remaining members of The Bloomsbury group as well as E.M. Forster and who guides him toward the publishers who bring out his early work. However, the poet dies young, and the narrator is once against cast adrift and his quest to find new, intimate interactions with the tragic young men he encounters causes him to reflect on the nature of beauty, love, and the intellectual life, emphasizing the transient and often unfulfilled desires that drive human connections.
Riding Into History
As a member of the integrated Women’s Army Corps, Private First Class Sarah Keys served her country as a receptionist at Fort Dix, New Jersey. When she boarded a bus home to North Carolina in 1952, she never expected to be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to move to the rear so a white Marine could take her seat. Her landmark 1955 Civil Rights victory, “Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company” not only desegregated interstate bus travel, it also provided the legal precedent needed during the 1961 Freedom Rides to pressure the Interstate Commerce Commission to properly enforce its Sarah Keys ruling. Often overlooked in many accounts of the Civil Rights era, her arrest and victory are crucial milestones in the fight against segregation. Riding into History draws on years of personal conversations with Sarah Keys Evans as well as extensive research to present a biography of this hero and her role in the struggle for civil rights alongside the long history of many other Black Americans, especially women, who protested racial segregation in interstate travel.

Unrest in the Nebulae
In unrest in the nebulae, Gitan Djeli wields prose poetry to archive five hundred years of exploitative colonization, ecocide, extinction, militarization and deportation, slavery, indenture, negotiated nationhood, postcolonial plantation structures, and apologist histories. Writing in a queer anticolonial poetics, and using lines of Kreol, Gitan Djeli mines the tension that emerges between colonialism and language, disarticulating the myth-making aesthetics of the colonial world. She tells the story of the ‘other slavery’ in the Indian Ocean and its histories of enslavement and indenture through a subversive, fragmented poetics, and often from the perspective its geologic witnesses – a misnamed ocean or the range of mountains within it or the volcanic idea of islands. In a charge of resistance to the catastrophe of modernity, unrest in the nebulae takes seriously Sylvia Wynter’s invitation to engage “a new science of the word.”
