A Short Stay in Hell
A man is cast by an unfamiliar God into a vast, incomprehensible Hell - a labyrinth library of books containing the stories of every life ever lived.
His only way out is to find the single book that tells his own story. But along the seemingly infinite shelves lies every possible combination of letters. Trapped within this maze of meaninglessness, the absurdity of existence becomes impossible to ignore.
A life-changing, existential novella, Steven L. Peck's modern classic explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.

Egy kis boszi naplója – Az éhes árnyék
Luna Hush éppen kezdi megszokni nemrégiben megtalált boszorkányörökségét és erejét, azonban az iskolában továbbra is nehéz az élete. Még a legjobb barátja, Charlie sem érti meg igazán, milyen érzés, ha mindig ő az, akit gúnyolnak, és bármit tesz, csak súlyosabb lesz a helyzet. A dolgok pedig még rosszabbra fordulnak, amikor Luna anyukája randizni kezd az iskola legflúgosabb tanárával. Mindenki azt mondja, csak legyintsen a csúfolódókra – de hogy lehet elfogadni, ha zaklatnak?
A lányban fortyogó düh és mély elkeseredettség oda vezet, hogy mikor egy titokzatos talizmánra bukkan, ami elő tudja hozni lényének egy másik oldalát, egy olyat, aki magabiztos, laza, menő és rendkívül népszerű, Luna kérdés nélkül belemegy a varázslatba. De vajon jó ötlet egy mágikus és ismeretlen erőnek átadni az irányítást?
The Motherload
NATIONAL BESTSELLER Belletrist Book Club Pick * The Times (London) Book of the Week “Essential reading for anyone who’s felt failed by the parental canon.” —Town & Country “An honest and refreshing take on motherhood.” —Today “With blistering honesty” (Oprah Daily), this nationally bestselling motherhood memoir dares to ask what happens when “what to expect when you’re expecting” turns out to be months of rage, anguish, brain fog, and a total surrender of sex, career, and identity. Like most of us, Sarah Hoover grew up imagining a certain life for herself, and when she moved from Indiana to New York City to study art history, the life she’d imagined began falling into place. She got her degree in art history, landed a job in a gallery, made friends, and met interesting artists, one of whom became her husband. But when Hoover got pregnant, everything in her life began to unravel. She felt like an imposter in her own body. She grew distant from her friends and husband. Anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame threatened to swallow her. She also experienced trauma at the hands of one of her doctors—a stark trigger. And when her son was born, there was no joy. Her despair was persistent, even with help, therapy, and pills. Grieving a lost identity and angry at the world around her, she found herself despising her baby, her husband, and herself. She was afraid it might not end. With the help of a doctor’s diagnosis, Hoover began to understand the cluster of symptoms that informed her experience—she was drowning in postpartum depression—and that she wasn’t a bad mother or a failed woman. At its core, this “page-turning look at the realities of motherhood and postpartum depression” (Candace Bushnell, New York Times bestselling author) is about learning to forgive yourself. It’s a rejection of the cultural idea of the mother as a perfect being. And it’s a propulsive and whip-smart “welcome moment of truth” (W Magazine) on the vicissitudes of marriage, life, and parenting—a motherhood memoir unlike any other.

For the peris’ story is unravelling, hinting at a far deadlier game whose rules Amina must swiftly puzzle out.

Zapomenutí mrtví
Tragické lidské osudy od česko-rakouské hranice
Kniha přináší příběhy a autentická svědectví o těch, kteří zemřeli při pokusu překročit československo-rakouskou hranici v letech 1948–1989. Ale i o těch, kdo u ní zahynuli pouhou náhodou. Na základě archivních materiálů, výpovědí pamětníků i vlastního bádání odhalují autoři příběhy třiapadesáti obětí železné opony v úseku mezi Dolním Rakouskem a jižní Moravou. Chronologicky řazené kapitoly nabízejí příběhy těch, kteří zemřeli v drátech nabitých elektřinou, v minovém poli nebo zasaženi střelbou pohraničníků. Publikace zachycuje nejen osobní tragédie, ale i mechanismy státní moci, která touhu po svobodě trestala smrtí. Rehabilituje zapomenuté oběti a vrací jim jména — a v řadě případů i tváře.
