A Sociopaths Guide to a Successful Marriage
There's a dead body in my living room.
I've not called the police because it was I who stabbed him. Seven times in all. The truth is, it's surprisingly difficult to dispatch someone with a vegetable knife.
In case you're wondering, the dead man is not my husband. I do resent our pitiful sex life and his woeful lack of ambition, but I wouldn't murder him for it. Not yet, anyway.
Right now, I have far more pressing concerns: scheming to get my daughter into the perfect school; buying my dream home in Hampstead; and disposing of a corpse.
A woman's work is never done. I've created the perfect life - and I'll kill to keep it.

Kiku
Listening connects us to others and the world around us. Learn how to harness its power in this life-changing new book.

Kiku is an essential guide to embracing the art of listening.
Waste Wars
A globe-trotting investigation into the catastrophic reality of the multi-billion-dollar global garbage trade.
Dumps and landfills around the world are overflowing. The millions of tonnes of garbage generated every day have given rise to waste wars, cons and cover ups across thousands of miles and multiple oceans. And few people have any idea they're happening.
Roaming across five continents, Alexander Clapp delves deep inside the world of Javanese recycling gangsters, cruise ship dismantlers in the Aegean, Tanzanian plastic pickers, whistle-blowing environmentalists in the jungles of Guatemala, and a community of Ghanaian boys who burn Western cellphones and televisions for cents an hour. He reveals how most of our trash actually lives a secret second life, getting shipped, smuggled or dumped from one country onto another, with devastating consequences for the poorest nations of the world.
Waste Wars is a jaw-dropping exposé of how and why, for the last forty years, our garbage has spawned a massive global black market, one that offloads our consumption footprints onto distant continents, pristine landscapes, and unsuspecting populations.
On the Future of Species
Imagine a future where we grow houses rather than build them.
Where smartphones are living, clothing has opinions, and all human knowledge fits into a speck of DNA. A world where disease is a thing of the past, and the human lifespan is dramatically extended.
To achieve this, says Adrian Woolfson - founder of the genome writing company Genyro - we must transform biology into a predictive, programmable engineering material. That means decoding the generative grammar of DNA: the language of life itself.
It may then be possible to author genomes - and, if we choose, even rewrite our own.
We are at the cusp of a technological revolution, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence and synthetic biology. Currently at the scribbling phase - writing the genomes of viruses, bacteria and yeast - we will eventually author the genomes of extinct and never-before-realised species.
Life will become computable, detached from its past, and no longer bound by Darwinian evolution.
While offering extraordinary opportunities, this power also carries great risk and it is vital for everyone to understand what the future might hold. Genome writing can help preserve the planet, but may also undermine human nature and disrupt ecosystems. In this bold and visionary account, Woolfson provides a guide to how this might all be achieved and how we should navigate this astonishing new world, offering a moral compass to help us do so safely, wisely and ethically.
They Call Her Regret
A dark spectre lives on the banks of Yearwood Lake. Make a deal and you’re in her debt.
Those who’ve met her call her Regret. Halloween is Simone’s favourite holiday. Every year she throws an epic, spooky party, and this time she’s hosting it beside a lake, where legend has it that a haunting figure named Regret makes deadly deals with trespassers.
Simone isn't worried about all of that – she just wants to have fun, scare her friends and distract herself from her own dark secrets. But in the dead of the night, things begin to go very wrong. When her best friend's life is in danger and Regret appears, Simone must make a choice.
How far will she go to save her friend? Every deal comes with a price ...
Between Two Rivers
Thousands of years ago, in a part of the world we now call ancient Mesopotamia, people began writing things down for the very first time.
What they left behind, in a vast region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, preserves leaps in human ingenuity, like the earliest depiction of a wheel and the first approximation of pi. But they also capture breathtakingly intimate, raw and relatable moments, like a dog's paw prints as it accidentally stepped into fresh clay, or the imprint of a child's teeth.
In Between Two Rivers, historian Dr Moudhy Al-Rashid reveals what these ancient people chose to record about their lives, allowing us to brush hands with them millennia later. We find a lullaby to soothe a baby, instructions for exorcising a ghost, countless receipts for beer, and the adorable, messy writing of preschoolers. We meet an enslaved person negotiating their freedom, an astronomer tracing the movement of the planets, a princess who may have created the world's first museum, and a working mother struggling with 'the juggle' in 1900 BCE.
Together, these fragments illuminate not just the history of Mesopotamia, but the story of how history was made.
Catherine: A Retelling of Wuthering Heights
The greatest tragic love story ever told – but this time, Catherine tells it herself. In Catherine, Essie Fox breathes new life into Wuthering Heights, transforming a gothic masterpiece into a haunting confession of obsession, madness and love that even death cannot end.
With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow – until Mr Earnshaw’s death leaves Hindley, Catherine’s brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude.
Desperate to protect him, Catherine turns to Edgar Linton, the handsome heir to Thrushcross Grange. She believes his wealth might free Heathcliff from cruelty – but her choice is fatally misunderstood, and their lives spiral into a storm of passion, jealousy and revenge.
Now, eighteen years later, Catherine rises from her grave to tell her story – and seek redemption.
Essie Fox’s Catherine reimagines Wuthering Heights with beauty and intensity – a haunting, atmospheric retelling that brings new life to a timeless classic and lays bare the dark heart of an immortal love.

Tünetek
A tó vize sohasem édes szerzőjétől
Loris fiatal, művelt, céltudatos. Egy sikeres könyvkiadóban dolgozik, a párkapcsolata rendezett, élete a felszínen éppoly stabil, mint amilyenre vágyik. Mégis minden szétesik körülötte. A teste jelzéseket küld, de az orvosi vizsgálatok szerint minden rendben. Csakhogy semmi sincs rendben. A mélypont felé közeledve Loris lassan rájön, hogy nem a gyógyulást, hanem önmaga megértését kell keresnie.
Caminito írásaiban a társadalmi különbségek, a női tapasztalat és a fiatal generációk láthatatlan terhei állnak középpontban. Új regénye pontosan ábrázolja a modern élet láthatatlan kríziseit: a szorongást, a túlterheltséget, a csendes lemondást, amit senki sem nevez betegségnek. A Tünetek egy generáció belső összeomlásának története, amely fájdalmasan ismerős lehet mindannyiunk számára.
„És ekkor észrevesz valamit: a fájdalom kezd feláramlani a mellkasába és a bal karjába, zuhanásérzet fogja el, közeledik a pánik, és hamarosan infarktustünetei lesznek, amiken nem tud úrrá lenni, sőt biztosra veszi majd, hogy infarktust kapott. Miért hazudik nekem ez a test, kérdi magától, miért képes a legszörnyűbb bajokat is szimulálni?”

Lucian Freud - Drawing into Painting
Drawing into Painting reveals Lucian Freud’s lifelong focus on the human face and form, tracing the intimate dialogue between his sketches and paintings from the 1930s to the early 21st century. Lucian Freud (1922–2011) is celebrated as one of the great figurative realist artists of the twentieth century, who devoted his artistic life to portraiture. Famously stating that ‘everything is a portrait’, he created intensely observed portraits of animals and plants, as well as his family members and those in his social circle and daily life.
Drawing into Painting explores how drawing remained central to Freud’s artistic practice throughout his life. From quick sketches to finished works in charcoal, pastel, and etching, his drawings offer a rare window into his process, revealing shifts in style, experimentation, and his evolving way of seeing. Spanning from his childhood to his final years, the book traces the unconventional path from his drawing practice to his painting, and back again.
Alongside a selection of key paintings by Freud and others, the book includes conversations with David Dawson, Freud’s close friend and assistant, and Bella Freud, the artist’s daughter. Insightful essays by writer and curator Catherine Lampert, British Museum drawings curator Isabel Seligman, and acclaimed novelist Colm Tóibín further illuminates Freud’s world and legacy.
Dom čarodejnice
Dva osudy spojené jedným domom. Jedna žena v súčasnosti, druhá v 17. storočí. A tajomstvo, ktoré prežilo stáročia…
Keď Adrianna príde do zanedbaného domčeka pri mori na norfolskom vidieku, dúfa, že tu na čas unikne pred vlastným životom. No hneď po príchode zistí, že dom v sebe ukrýva viac, než len stopy minulosti. Pod uvoľnenou podlahou objaví tajomné zápisky a v zarastenej záhrade zvláštne vyrezávaný kameň – a netuší, že práve odomkla dvere do dávnej histórie.
Rok 1646. Ursula, pôrodná babica a bylinkárka, vedie tichý život na okraji dediny. Bez manžela, bez ochrany, a to v čase, keď jediný šepot o čarodejníctve znamená rozsudok smrti. Keď si ju všimne mocný lekár, musí sa rozhodnúť, ako prežiť – a čo všetko je ochotná obetovať.
Dva ženské hlasy, jeden dom plný spomienok a sila, ktorá pretrváva stáročia. Pútavý historický román o tajomstvách, odvahe a osudovosti, ktorá nepozná čas.

My, čo zápasíme s Bohom
Jordan B. Peterson, celosvetovo známy klinický psychológ a autor bestsellerov 12 pravidiel pre život a Za hranicou poriadku, sa v tejto výnimočnej knihe púšťa do jedného z najodvážnejších projektov svojej kariéry – do hlbokého, psychologického a filozofického čítania najstaršieho príbehu ľudstva.
V knihe My, čo zápasíme s Bohom nás prevedie biblickým rozprávaním, ktoré formovalo západnú civilizáciu a aj naše chápanie dobra, zla, poriadku a chaosu: Adam a Eva a pád človeka, bratovražda Kaina a Ábela, Noachova potopa, zrútenie Babylonskej veže, Abrahámova skúška viery či Mojžišov zápas o slobodu.
Peterson skúma, prečo tieto príbehy vznikli, čo znamenajú z hľadiska psychológie, biológie aj kultúry a čo riskujeme, keď ich dnes odmietame ako bezvýznamné mýty. Ukazuje, že tieto naratívy predstavujú starobylé mapy ľudskej skúsenosti: od vzbury proti chaosu cez obetu až po osobnú transformáciu.
Toto dielo však nie je len interpretáciou Biblie, je to pozvánka na nové, hlboké zamyslenie sa nad samým sebou a nad vlastným životom. Kniha je určená pre každého, kto sa chce lepšie zorientovať v zložitosti moderného sveta prostredníctvom osvedčenej múdrosti najväčšieho príbehu všetkých čias.
