Román o knihách, přátelství, velké lásce a o tom, že ne všechny sny by se měly vyplnit
Charlie je třiadvacet, je single, bydlí s kamarády a začala pracovat jako asistentka v nezávislém londýnském nakladatelství. Richardovi je šestapadesát, je ženatý, má luxusní byt v Londýně i sídlo na venkově a jeho romány ovlivnily celou generaci. I pro Charlie znamená Richard mnoho — kromě literárního vzoru také připomínku zesnulé matky, která jeho knihy milovala.
Když se tihle dva poprvé setkají, přeskočí jiskra. A Charlie ohromeně sleduje, jak se z ní stává plamen — žhavý, silný a všepohlcující. Od začátku chápe, že tenhle vztah nebude snadný a že mu bude muset hodně obětovat. Neustálé tajnosti, skrývání se, hlídání si každého slůvka, mlžení i před nejbližšími přáteli. Mezi ní a Richardem však panuje výjimečné pouto, které za tohle všechno stojí. Oni dva jsou přece něco víc než jen mladičká dívka ohromená aurou slavného muže a spisovatel poblázněný fanynkou plnou obdivu. Nebo ne?

Císař Karel IV. - Postrach světa
V nejnovější biografii českého krále a římsko-německého císaře Karla IV. autor pojímá 14. století jako dramatické období, plné politických a hospodářských krizí, kulturního neklidu a hledání nového funkčního způsobu správy římsko-německé říše v severní Itálii, jižní Francii a v Německu, jenž vyvrcholil přijetím Zlaté buly v roce 1356. Kniha je založena na důkladné znalosti a mistrné interpretaci vyprávěcích a diplomatických pramenů, stejně jako na kritickém přístupu k dosavadnímu, téměř nepřebernému historickému bádání.
Rader nahlíží osobu Karla IV. komplexním způsobem, přičemž důraz klade jak na jeho říšskou vládu, tak na její propojení se strukturálně zcela odlišným panováním v českém království. Mnohem více než dřívější bádání klade důraz na skutečnost, že Karel začal programově budovat novou říšskou rezidenci v Praze a s Prahou spojoval budoucnost římsko-německé říše. Stejně tak si všímá císařovy podpory a mecenátu umění a vzdělání. Zároveň však nijak nezamlčuje ani temné stránky Karlova politického života, jeho čirý pragmatismus, podíl na pronásledování kacířů a vypočítavý přístup k židovskému obyvatelstvu v mnoha německých městech.

The Bear and the Seed
A gorgeously lyrical folktale about the importance of protecting our environment by Greenaway-shortlisted Poonam Mistry.
Bear lives in the bountiful forest, filled with breathtaking flowers and plants, and trees that tower up to the sun. One night, the trees and plants disappear and when the animals wake up, they begin to flee the forest in grief.
But when Bear finds a lonely seed, he works tirelessly to help it grow, seeking words of advice from the few animals that pass by. He shades it from the harsh wind and cold snowy season, but nature's power is unavoidable and soon it is time for him to hibernate. Bear hopes that by the time he wakes up, his determination will help the forest renew.
British Gardens
What do our gardens say about us?
Monty Don has spent many years travelling the world, from America to Japan, from Italy and the Adriatic to Spain and the Mediterranean, getting under the skin of a country through its gardens and gardening traditions. In British Gardens, he finally brings his focus to home, journeying from the northern tip of Scotland to the Cornish coast, seeking to understand what our gardens tell us about ourselves as a nation.
Encompassing historical gardens and public parks, mountains and seascapes, urban gardens and rural nurseries, glasshouses and community plots, each encounter is another link in a larger story of British identity: marks of ingenuity, eccentricity, and adaptation to changing environments. From Northumbria’s Alnwick Gardens and Beatrix Potter’s Lake District farmhouse to the rewilded walled garden on the Knepp Estate and the story of Britain’s first garden gnome, Monty’s account brings in an astonishing range of British experience.

Dorothy first came to Skerry when she was a hopeful young teacher, but she has never felt at home. Misunderstandings with the other women in the village have left her isolated from their close-knit circle. And then there is Joseph, the soft-spoken fisherman who stirred up her heart all those years ago but does everything he can to avoid her now.
But when Joseph finds a little boy washed up on Skerry’s windswept beach, barely alive, his arrival unearths the villagers’ buried secrets. As the snow cuts Skerry off from the rest of the world, Dorothy agrees to look after the child – and finds herself thrown together again with Joseph, after years of keeping their distance…

To the Moon and Back
Steph Harper is on the run.
When she was five, her mother ran - with Steph and her younger sister in tow - from an abusive husband into the arms of a small Cherokee community, where she hoped they might finally belong.
But Steph soon sets her sights as far away as she can get, vowing that she will let nothing interfere with her dream to become an astronaut, and ultimately, to go to the moon.
In Steph's certainty that only her ambition can save her, she will stretch her bonds with the three women who know and love her most dearly: her younger sister Kayla, an artist whose determination to appear good takes her life to unexpected places; her college girlfriend Della, who strives to reclaim her identity as an adult after being removed from her family as a young girl through a challenge to the Indian Child Welfare Act; and her mother Hannah, who has held up her family's history as a beacon of inspiration to her kids, all the while keeping the truth about her own past a secret.
Told through these women's interwoven lives, and spanning three decades and several continents, To the Moon and Back is an astounding and expansive coming-of-age novel of mothers and daughters, love and sacrifice, alienation and heartbreak, terror and wonder. At its core, it is the story of the extraordinary lengths one woman will go to find a little space for herself.
Zahrada prostřená
Tahle kniha je křížencem kuchařky, krásné literatury a romantického vyznání jedné divotvorné zahradě v historickém jádru jihomoravského Mikulova. Kromě několika odrůd vinné révy, dvou fíkovníků a třiceti keřů růží v ní roste i spousta voňavých bylin a jedlého plevele. A všechny je potřeba poznat a ochutnat. Z hrnců se line vůně levandule, šeříku a damašských růží, v kastrolu probublávají závitky z vinných listů a na kamnech se suší fíky.
Z lyrické procházky polodivokou pálavskou zahradou v doprovodu svérázného domorodého průvodce, který rozumí tajemství dřeva a řeči přírody, vzešly dva tucty receptů, podle nichž zvládne uvařit každý.

NUNC!
The 'Nunc Dimittis', set to music by composers from Tallis to Rachmaninov, is one of the great canticles of Christianity and is heard daily in Britain's cathedrals. It is based on ten verses in St Luke's Gospel. They relate the tale of Simeon, an old man who was told he would not die before he saw the Messiah. He waited and waited at the Temple in Jerusalem. At last he saw the infant Jesus. At that moment he cried, 'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word for mine eyes have seen thy salvation'. Simeon was at last able to surrender his life. Who was Simeon? Why did he wait? And how did the month-old Jesus escape King Herod's infamous massacre of the infants? The Bible does not say. Quentin Letts's quirky, affectionate Nunc! tries to put that right. It takes the reader to the occupied Jerusalem of Herod the Great, the puppet ruler whose Temple was a wonder of the ancient world. The action centres on Jerusalem's Deuteronomy Square where Simeon's old army friend Reuben runs a tea stall selling heavenly honey cakes and fig bread. We meet Bildad the beekeeper whose hive goes missing; grocer's boy Benjamin, owner of a mule and cart that might act as a getaway vehicle; the drawlingly subversive Zillah, whose political salon lends her influence; and Simeon's long-suffering landlady Noor. Deuteronomy Square's plucky regulars must endure not only the bawling of a power-mad Roman centurion, Lucilius, but also the more snivelly authoritarianism of Kedar, the city's clerk of works.
The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective
At Marigold Cottages, landlady Mrs B only rents to favoured tenants, and they're an eccentric (read: odd, slightly broken) bunch. There is anxious playwright Sophie, agoraphobe Hamilton, single mum and sculptor Ocean, perfectionist Lily-Ann, and the mysterious Nicholas. Their quirky community is upended when ex-con Anthony moves in and a dead body turns up on their doorstep shortly after. The police arrest Anthony, but Mrs B, convinced of his innocence, confesses instead. Horrified, her tenants form the 'Marigold Cottages Murder Collective' to clear her name. When a second body appears, they discover every resident has something to hide - and the killer may be closer than they think.
