The Make-Believe
From the actor known for Skins and Games of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness and the struggle to leave a cult-like organisation whose belief in magic shattered Hannah's reality.
In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah's life is changed.
Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organisation behind the magic, an organisation whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like - and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family - and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what's real, and what's imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge.
From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah's life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organisation that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined.
Shocking, intimate and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.
The Romans
The definitive history of Rome and its citizens.
Rome is often remembered for its spectacular collapse. Yet for more than two thousand years - through civil wars, plagues, invasions and religious upheaval - the Roman state survived, adapted and reinvented itself. From a muddy settlement on the banks of the Tiber to the glittering court of Constantinople, this is the sweeping, untold story of a civilisation that refused to fall.
The Romans tells the first truly complete history of Rome in all its epic scale: the Punic Wars, the fall of the republic to the rise of Christianity, Alaric's sack of Rome, the emergence of Islam and the Crusades that would ultimately bring the empire to an end. It is also the story of diverse men and women who shaped the empire: African emperors, Byzantine intellectuals, and ordinary citizens whose loyalty together made it the most resilient state the world has ever seen.
The River Has Roots
Follow the river Liss to the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, and meet two sisters who cannot be separated, even in death.
'Oh what is stronger than a death? Two sisters singing with one breath.'
In the small town of Thistleford, on the edge of Faerie, dwells the mysterious Hawthorn family.
There, they tend and harvest the enchanted willows and honour an ancient compact to sing to them in thanks for their magic. None more devotedly than the family's latest daughters, Esther and Ysabel, who cherish each other as much as they cherish the ancient trees.
But when Esther rejects a forceful suitor in favor of a lover from the land of Faerie, not only the sisters' bond but also their lives will be at risk...
The River Has Roots is the hugely acclaimed solo debut of the New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award winning author Amal El-Mohtar.
Features beautiful interior illustrations.

How To Try Again
The personal development book for people who don't have time for personal development.
Some people wake up at 4 a.m., run 15 miles barefoot and have an ice bath. This book is for the rest of us.
Let's start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected and can surprise us at the worst possible time.
In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn't work) and still get things done. Drawing from his seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life's chaos.
In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to:
Embrace failure as the first step, not the last.
Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free.
Strategically tread water when overwhelmed.
Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through.
This book isn't for the superhuman few; it's for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can't seem to make progress.
It's time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick - without the guilt.

Több mint 1 millió eladott példány
Frances hidegfejű, érzékeny fiatal nő, aki Dublinban tanul, és közben írói pályáját építgeti. Legjobb barátnője a szépséges, magabiztos, ám kissé hiú Bobbi. Egyik este megismerkednek egy ismert fotóssal, és egyre közelebb kerülnek hozzá. Francesnek különösen imponál az idősebb nő ízléses otthona és jóképű férje, Nick. Frances és a férfi flörtölni kezdenek, de kalandjuk, ami kezdetben ártalmatlan szórakozásnak indul, később fájdalmas érzésekhez vezet.
A Baráti beszélgetések hibátlanul megkomponált, finoman ironikus történet felnőtté válásról, a fiatalok sérülékenységéről, és arról, milyen zavarbaejtően nehéz fiatal felnőttként szeretni, határokat húzni - és közben nem elveszíteni önmagunkat.
SALLY ROONEY 1991-ben született Írország nyugati részén. Publikált a New Yorkerben, a New York Timesban, a Grantában és a London Review of Booksban. Regényei - Baráti beszélgetések; Normális emberek; Hová lettél, szép világ; Intermezzo - magyarul a 21. Század Kiadó gondozásában jelentek meg.
Hemlock & Silver
From bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher, Hemlock & Silver is a dark reimagining of Snow White steeped in poison, intrigue and treason of the most magical kind.
Healer Anja regularly drinks poison.
Not to die, but to save - seeking cures for those everyone else has given up on.
But a summons from the King interrupts her quiet, herb-obsessed life. His daughter, Snow, is dying, and he hopes Anja's unorthodox methods can save her.
Aided by a taciturn guard, a narcissistic cat and a passion for the scientific method, Anja rushes to treat Snow - but nothing seems to work. Nothing, that is, until she finds a secret world hidden inside a magic mirror. This dark realm may hold the key to what is making Snow sick.
Or it might be the thing that kills them all . . .

Adrift between her feuding parents and eccentric neighbours, Emily is closer than she knows to the choices and heartbreaks that will define her in the years ahead.
From the author of the million-copy international bestseller The Wedding People, this ruefully funny debut novel explores love, grief, consequences and the messy business of growing up.
Delicious in Dungeon - Chuť podzemí 1
Skupina dobrodruhů se na výpravě v podzemí střetne s drakem... a nedopadne to dobře. Nejenže jejich řady prořídly, ale zároveň přišli o většinu vybavení, a především nemají nic k jídlu! Mladý bojovník Laios se však chce stůj co stůj vrátit do podzemí a zachránit z dračího žaludku svou sestru Falin. Rozhodne se tedy pro riskantní, zato však velmi praktické řešení – spolu se zbylými přáteli sestoupí zpět do podzemí a cestou k drakovi se budou živit vším, co tam najdou, ať je to bazilišek, mandragora či oživlá zbroj.
Vzhůru za podzemní baštou!
Moja výnimočná Linda
Chcete spoznať zaujímavú slečnu Lindu? Porozpráva vám o nej handrová bábika s rovnakým menom - prostoreká, nekorektná a úprimná. Obe Lindy, rozprávková aj ľudská, sa pohybujú v neobyčajných prostrediach. Dostanete sa s nimi do Krajiny bábik, na pôrodnú sálu aj do Kráľovstva chránená dielňa.
Prečo je ich svet neobyčajný, prečo je občas smutný a prečo sa v ňom dejú zázraky?
Pretože Linda sa narodila s mentálnym znevýhodnením. Ale práve táto okolnosť z nej spravila výnimočné dievča. Lenže Svet ľudí o ňu nestál. Aby sa o ňu mama nemusela báť a aby mohla robiť to, na čo má talent, napokon zariadila práve bábika bez predsudkov, čo si Lindu vybrala za svoju ľudskú mamu. Aj keď bába mnohému vo Svete ľudí nerozumela – jedno vedela iste. Neobyčajná Linda predsa nemôže svoj život presedieť doma. Ona musí svet skrášľovať. A dôkazom, že sa to podarilo, aj za pomoci čarovania, je táto knižka, ktorú Linda Schranzová ilustrovala. Je to totiž rozprávka faktu a všetky postavy naozaj existujú. Dokonca aj handrová bábika, ktorú v Kráľovstve chránená dielňa ušili podľa Lindinho návrhu a spisovateľka Barbora Dvořáková Hatráková jej vdýchla život a zaznamenala chvíľami smiešne, chvíľami dojímavé a občas aj poriadne naštvané rozprávanie.
This is Fascism
Fascism is back. This time no swastikas, Nazi flags, or deadly bureaucracy, but MAGA hats, right-wing extremist memes, and a triumphant fist held high. For the first time in modern history, far right parties in some European countries have won a larger share of the votes than the Conservatives and the Social Democrats.
Fascism hollows out democracies from within. It starts with language, not tanks. With democratic elections, not a coup.
But how do fascists mobilise citizens? How has fascism become normalised in Europe again? And how do we stop it?
The Heart of the Nhaga - Bird That Drinks Tears 1
Discover the bestselling epic fantasy series from the grandmaster of Korean SFF, available for the first time in English by award-winning translator Anton Hur. A can't-miss for readers of the great classics and giants of fantasy, from J.R.R Tolkien to Ursula K. Le Guin
Three handles one.
The world is divided by the Line of Limit. To the north are the Tokkebifire people able to manipulate flames as both weapons and illusions; Rekon - giant birdmen with immense strength and warrior acumen; and the humans - as divided as the other races are unified. To the south are the Nhaga - a reptilian people who relinquish their hearts for immortality. For centuries, the races didn't cross that line, but change is in the air. A Nhaga is being sent North…and a trio is being dispatched to make sure this agent from the South makes it out alive - one from each race.
But the illusion of a simple journey is quickly dispelled by the fact that the Tokkebi is merely a scholar, not an adventurer; the Rekon is deathly afraid of water; and the human hunts and eats Nhaga. And when the Nhaga they're supposed to be escorting out of the Kiboren forest is murdered, the one sent in his place turns out to very much have a heart - meaning he's quite vulnerable to the dangerous exodus.
The four must quickly forge an alliance and shed the distrust and prejudice that plagues them if they are to survive. And just as crucial, they must figure out what this mission is actually about, because unbeknownst to them, the very fate of the world might rest on this one Nhaga making it to the North intact.
A classic not to be missed, Heart of the Nhaga is epic fantasy at its best, translated into English for the first time ever by award-winning translator Anton Hur.
The Traveler
First a day. Then a year. Then forever.
Joseph Eckert's The Traveler is a captivating time travel novel perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Interstellar and Project Hail Mary.
It's a morning like any other when Scott Treder first slips. One moment, he's driving to work, fingers drumming the steering wheel. The next, he is tumbling down the road, his car gone, his world changed.
7:51 am. Monday, April 13th.
7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th.
Twenty-four hours, lost in a heartbeat.
This first slip is just the beginning. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott jumps forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First a day is lost. Then weeks. Then decades. As Scott hurtles helplessly toward the future, he watches his seven-year-old son, Lyle, grow into a man - and then an old man - in a matter of days.
But Lyle has a plan. He dedicates his entire existence to a single, impossible goal: catching the father who is leaving him behind . . .
An epic story of survival, heartbreak, and a father-son bond that defies the laws of physics.
