Six Minutes to Winter (Paperback)
The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge.
Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours. A major missile exchange would mean months of near-total darkness, followed by a decade-long global nuclear winter that would destroy most life on Earth. Virtually everyone would starve in the resulting worldwide famine, and there would be no reliable refuge.
We are sleepwalking to Armageddon. There are no mass marches, no COPs, no nuclear Greta. But the climate experience teaches us that ignoring a problem is no solution, and that a worldwide mobilisation can work. Six Minutes to Winter presents an unflinching view of the nuclear nightmare, but also describes how weapons can be taken off hair-trigger alert and ultimately abolished altogether. If human civilisation is to survive long term, we have no alternative.
Spisovatelia za mrežami
Kniha Spisovatelia za mrežami (2026) zaznamenáva osudy slovenských literátov, prekladateľov a novinárov, ktorí boli v 50. rokoch minulého storočia väznení. Boli medzi nimi špičkoví spisovatelia, ďalší predstavovali akýsi stredný prúd vtedajšej literatúry, ale uväznení boli aj mladí ľudia, ktorí nemali ani dvadsať rokov a tvoriť začali až po prepustení z väzenia. Približne päťdesiat spisovateľov bolo spolu za mrežami vyše dvesto rokov - medzi nimi odporcovia komunistického režimu, ale aj jeho vysokí funkcionári.

The gods sent monsters to the five kingdoms to remind mortals they must kneel.
I've spent my life kneeling to their will and to my father's. As a princess, my only duty is to wear the crown and obey the king.
I was never meant to rule. Never meant to fight. And I was never supposed to be the daughter who sealed an ancient treaty with her own blood.
But that changed the fateful day I stepped into my father's throne room. The day a legendary monster hunter sailed to our shores. The day a prince ruined my life.
Now I'm crossing treacherous lands beside a warrior who despises me as much as I despise him bound to a future I didn't choose and a husband I barely know.
Everyone wants me to be something I'm not a queen, a spy, a sacrifice.
But what if I refused the role chosen for me? What if I made my own rules? What if there's power in being underestimated?
And what if for the first time I reached for it?

There's an undeniable spark between them - but they definitely shouldn't act on it.
And when Ramona's old life comes calling her back, she's no longer sure where she fits.
Is Nick just a brief distraction?
Or a first chance at something real

The Matchbox Girl
From the multi-award-winning author - a beautiful, stunningly ambitious novel telling the story of a young girl's battle for survival and search for the truth in occupied Vienna
Adelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz Joseph, listening in on conversations she can't fully comprehend.
Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where she and other children like herself will live under observation.
But the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna - a city of political instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made.
Why are the clinic's children disappearing, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger's games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand.

Handsome con artist Ulises has long charmed lonely women via letters to steal their money, but money is hard to come by in 1940s Mexico. Ulises knows his looks won't last forever, and he's desperate to get his hands on a real fortune.
He thinks he's found it when he captivates his newest correspondent, Perla, the owner of a small-town boardinghouse in picturesque Veracruz. But when he meets her, he finds something he didn't expect. The woman has a niece, Inés, who is as observant as she is desperate to escape her aunt's household.
When Inés discovers Ulises' true intentions, she wants in on the scheme. They'll convince her aunt that Ulises is a great catch, Perla will marry him, and her money will vanish. Easy, fast and clean. But Perla is not the desperate, silly spinster Ulises imagines. She harbors secrets. And although Ulises does not believe in true romance, Inés is more alluring than he bargained on. Suddenly, a simple plan may become perilously complicated.
Venture into the streets of a small town where the patina of convention and good manners conceals a cauldron of avarice and lust.

Co se děje u doktora
Když byla Velká Růža ještě malou Růženkou, návštěvy u doktora v oblibě neměla. Očkování, odběr krve, podivné předměty na vyšetření krku nebo uší – nic z toho se jí nelíbilo. Dokonce i její mladší bráška Míša to zvládal lépe. Kdo by si byl tehdy pomyslel, že se z Růži jednou stane dětská lékařka! Dnes se v ordinaci potkává Velká Růža s Růženkou a Míšou, aby společně objevili, proč lékaři všechny ty zvláštní věci dělají. Společně vezmou děti na polikliniku i do nemocnice a pomůžou zahnat zbytečné obavy. Protože návštěva u doktora není strašidelná – naopak, je to dobrodružná cesta za poznáním!
Earth 7
An exhilarating, wildly inventive tour de force of love, humanity and the end of the world as we know it.
Two women, one raised in near solitude in a research pod in the depths of the ocean and one a luxury-resort bartender who may or may not be a robot, fall in love, cross deserts, gaze at the stars – and try not only to hold onto one another but together, possibly, salvage some trace of planet Earth.
Heartbreaking, mind-expanding, soaring with beauty, Earth 7 is at once a love letter to the world and a portrait of its slow disappearance. It’s about love and grief, microbiology and astrophysics, robots and planet Mars, and humanity in all its greatness, absurdity and distress. Welding the deeply human to the thrillingly strange, fizzing with intelligence and profoundly moving, it is the novel we need right now, and for all times.
Graysonov sľub
Manželstvo za peniaze, láska na nezaplatenie
Kira Dallairová je zúfalá. Čo najskôr sa musí vydať, aby získala dedičstvo po zosnulej starej mame. Inak zostane vydaná na milosť a nemilosť svojmu bohatému násilníckemu otcovi. S minimom peňazí a ešte menším počtom možností vymyslí dokonalý, aj keď trochu impulzívny plán.
Grayson Hawthorn stráca nádej. Ako bývalý trestanec s obmedzenými finančnými možnosťami má pocit, že jeho sľub oživiť rodinné vinárstvo je odsúdený na neúspech. Aspoň kým do jeho pracovne nevstúpi mladá žena s neobvyklým návrhom – výhodným manželstvom z rozumu, ktoré jednoducho nemôže odmietnuť.
Živelná a temperamentná Kira núti odmeraného a arogantného Graysona, aby od života očakával viac. Súboj ich vôlí prerastie v prudkú vášeň a náhle uvedomenie, že minulosť niekedy vytvára prekážky, ktoré je ťažké prekonať, a že klamstvá a podvody len málokedy vedú k šťastnému koncu.

Indigová dedička
Historický román z Ameriky a Škótska z 18. storočia o manželstve z rozumu.
Celý svoj život strávila na plantáži vo Virgínii. Nič iné nepozná. Mohol by ju však čakať osud na vzdialenom pobreží?
Juliet Catesbyová žije s otcom a sestrou v Royal Vale na plantáži James River, ktorú založila jej rodina pred viac ako sto rokmi. Najviac ju zamestnáva pestovanie indiga, avšak jeho vývoz spája Catesbyovcov s mocným klanom Buchananovcov v škótskom Glasgowe.
Keď na pobrežie Ameriky prichádza dedič buchananovského impéria, Juliet zisťuje, že jej otec zariadil, aby sa tento Škót oženil s jednou z jeho dcér, čím budú splatené obrovské dlhy. Juliet si je istá, že nevestou sa stane jej mladšia a krajšia sestra, a tak ju ohromí, keď si Leith Buchanan nevyberie Loveday, ale ju.
Napriek počiatočnému vzdoru si Juliet uvedomí, že potom, čo sa zaplietla do škandálu, má len jednu možnosť, a to utiecť z Virgínie. Jej jedinou nádejou je loď, ktorá práve odchádza do Glasgowa. Čoskoro však prichádza na to, že stať sa súčasťou rozsiahleho a vypočítavého klanu Buchananovcov, nie je práve ten pokojný život, ktorý si predstavovala. A že muž, ktorý ju zachránil pred katastrofou, je zároveň mužom, ktorého musí na oplátku teraz zachrániť ona.

To jediné, čo nám zostane
Tridsaťtriročná Iris nosí celý svoj život v jednom kufri. Neustále je na cestách, bez istoty, bez koreňov. Osemnásťročný Théo sa zasa naučil nemať sny, lebo zakaždým, keď sa nenaplnia, to bolí viac než ich absencia. Sedemdesiatštyriročná Jeanne sa obzerá späť a premýšľa, čo jej z vlastného života vlastne zostalo.
Tri generácie, tri osamelé bytosti, ktoré sa nemali nikdy stretnúť.
A predsa ich náhoda – alebo niečo, čo sa na ňu len podobá – spojí pod jednou strechou v nečakanej spoločnej domácnosti. Spočiatku nedobrovoľné spolunažívanie sa pomaly mení na krehké puto, v ktorom má každý z nich svoje miesto.
To jediné, čo nám zostane je nežný, hlboko ľudský román o stratách, samote, chudobe a starnutí, ale aj o humore, nádeji a sile drobných gest. Virginie Grimaldiová rozpráva s ľahkosťou a empatiou o veciach, o ktorých sa často mlčí, bez zbytočného pátosu a klišé, ale láskavo a výstižne.
