Miracle
An unforgettable testament to hope and the bonds of brotherhood, Miracle reveals the untold story of the boys who escaped the gas chamber in Auschwitz, the only known group of Holocaust survivors to walk away from the jaws of the Nazi killing machine.
Early on the morning of October 10, 1944, eight-hundred boys, aged between 13 and 17, were taken out of Block 11 at Auschwitz. The night before, during a visit by Dr Josef Mengele, their identification cards had been stamped with a solitary German word - gestorben - 'died' in English. They were then marched by 25 bayonet-wielding SS men to Crematorium 5, stripped, and herded into a gas chamber.
This book is the story of a true-life miracle of the fifty-one boys who were pulled from that gas chamber - the only Holocaust survivors known to have escaped such a close brush with the Nazi killing machine - and given a second chance at life. A life, of course, that would be so horrifically snatched from those around them.
Based on the first-hand testimonies of six of the boys, six survivors whose stories are shared in this book for the very first time, Miracle interweaves the lives of the boys and the grander sweep of history in which they were held. The result is an unforgettable tale of hope, faith and fortitude in the face of one of the worst crimes against humanity.
A Slow and Secret Poison
'We are cursed, here at Harfold, whether you believe in it or not.'
1922, Wiltshire. When Vee Morgan accepts the job of gardener at a crumbling stately home, she's hoping for a fresh start where nobody knows her troubled history.
But Harfold Manor is shadowed by grief and the memories of long-faded glory, its rooms haunted by the only surviving member of the family, Lady Arabella Lascy. Vee is fascinated by her enigmatic new employer, a woman obsessed with the curse she believes has killed her family one by one. A curse that is coming for her next.
As Vee immerses herself in the world of Harfold, she finds herself increasingly entranced by Arabella and the secrets that poison her.
But Vee has her own things to hide: secrets that caused her to flee Cardiff, secrets that estranged her from her own family, secrets that might finally catch up to her…
Escape From Capitalism
Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there’s no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful.
It doesn’t have to be this way. In her bold, ground-breaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system.
She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they’re weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features – justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn’t inevitable, scientific, or natural – it's a relatively young system that can be replaced.
Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape from Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.
Freakonomics
WITH A NEW FOREWORD CELEBRATING 20 YEARS SINCE PUBLICATION
Assume nothing, question everything.
This is the message at the heart of Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner's rule-breaking, iconoclastic book about crack dealers, cheating teachers and bizarre baby names that turned everyone's view of the world upside-down and became an international multi-million-copy-selling phenomenon.
Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.
Silent Catastrophes
From acclaimed critic, novelist and academic W. G. Sebald, author of Austerlitz and The Rings of Saturn, a collection of essay on the Austrian writers who inspired him
Appearing for the first time in English, Silent Catastrophes brings together W. G. Sebald's essays on the Austrian writers who meant so much to him.
The evolution of Austria from vast empire to diminutive Alpine republic, followed by its annexation by Nazi Germany, had a profound traumatic impact on the literary output of the nation. Essays on the writings of Kafka, Handke, Bernhard and more, explore the concepts of 'home/land', 'borderland' and 'exile' with deep compassion and insight.
A revelation to Sebald's English-language readers, Silent Catastrophes traces many of the themes which animate Sebald's own work and illuminates how melancholy - the contemplation of disaster in progress - is itself a form of resistance.
The Couple's Dice
A strong relationship isn’t the product of magic or luck. It grows through the small, repeated acts of honesty, vulnerability and humour we are brave enough to share. Yet even the most loving couples can struggle to begin these important conversations. We’re blocked by shyness, resentment or the unfamiliarity of putting certain thoughts into words. The Couple’s Dice is a tool to help partners connect. It gently encourages us to say things we long to express but often repress. Each of the six sides prompts a kind of communication we tend to neglect or avoid. Together, these prompts open the door to tenderness, catharsis, laughter and deeper trust. Along the way, the game may reveal truths we hadn’t fully grasped – unspoken desires, quiet disappointments or forgotten hopes – giving us a chance to grow closer to our partner and more in touch with ourselves.
Science, Religion, and the Human Future
Science, Religion, and the Human Future: Conflict, Collusion, and Consequences demonstrates that the myth of an inevitable conflict between science and faith is based on a misunderstanding of history, with potentially adverse consequences for human futures. The work focuses first upon ancient, medieval and Islamic scholars and the intimate connections they made between theology and the investigation of the natural world-and why we know so little about them. Moving into the modern era, it argues that one of the most concerning features of the science-faith relationship was their collusion in defining and validating the 'civilising mission' of Western imperialism. This collusion recontextualises the creation of the conflict thesis. Turning to the present day, the book investigates episodes of scientific controversy in which effective science communication was hindered not as a result of a clash between science and faith but because of a close and unexamined entanglement between the two. In cases ranging from space colonisation to AI, climate change to Covid-19, the problem is not so much science's split from faith as the unexamined and problematic theologies that remain implicit within it. Learning from these examples, the book outlines some productive and non-conflict-based frameworks for talking about science and faith in the future.

Praotec Róde a nápoj bojov Surima
Komiks na motívy staroslovanských mýtov a legiend
Pratec Rode a nápoj bohov Surima je komiks, ktorý otvára bránu do sveta, kde sa staré slovanské mýty znovu nadýchli života. V centre príbehu stojí Rode — najstarší z bohov a jeho traja synovia, Svarog, Veles a Perún. Keď sa stratí posvätný nápoj Surima, zdroj nesmrtelnosti, začína sa dobrodružstvo, ktoré presahuje hranice času aj ľudského sveta. Tento komiks nie je len fantazijným príbehom. Je to návrat k našim koreňom, k mytológii, ktorá bola stáročia potláčaná, zabúdaná alebo prekrývaná cudzími vrstvami. V príbehu sa prelína humor, napätie aj jemná mystika. Postavy putujú cez svet ľudí, aj svet bohov, pričom každá z týchto rovín odhaľuje ďalší kúsok zabudnutej slovanskej kozmológie. Nápoj Surima sa stáva symbolom poznania, ktoré musíme znovu objaviť, ak chceme pochopiť, kto sme. Komiks je vytvorený moderným vizuálnym jazykom, no jeho srdce bije v rytme starých piesní a rozprávok. Je určený všetkým, ktorí cítia, že v slovanskej mytológii je ukrytá sila, krása a múdrosť, ktorú dnešný svet opäť potrebuje.

Deviants
'Compulsive and wrenching ... Bhattacharya has written the epic text for the South Asian queer community that the characters in this book long to find' Sarvat Hasin, author of The Giant Dark'There is an epic confidence to Bhattacharya’s writing' Samira Ahmed'It’s magnificent: funny, melancholic, sharply true. The force of it crept up on me in a brilliantly subtle way' James Cahill, author of Tiepolo BlueFROM THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF ONE SMALL VOICE: a bold, electrifying story of a family in which three generations of gay men in India fight for love and dignity against the currents of their timesVivaan, a teenager in India’s silicon plateau, has discovered love on his smartphone. Intoxicating, boundary-breaking love. His parents know he is gay, and their support is something Vivaan can count on, but they don’t know what exactly their son gets up to in the online world. For his uncle, born thirty years earlier, things were very different. Mambro’s life changed forever when he fell for a male classmate at a time, and in a country, where the persecution of gay people was rife under a colonial-era law criminalising homosexuality. And before that was Mambro’s uncle Sukumar, a young man hopelessly in love with another young man, but forced by social taboos to keep their relationship a secret at all costs. Sukumar would never live the life he yearned for, but his story would ignite and inspire his nephew and grand-nephew after him. Bold and bracing, intimate and heartbreaking, Deviants examines the histories we inherit and the legacies we leave behind.

Sladká Nevědomost - Made 1
Říká se, že první dojem je nejdůležitější…
V temném světě newyorského podsvětí si má Elenina sestra brát Nicolase Russoa – bosse a podvodníka takového formátu, že je to moc i na samotnou mafii. Jeho pověst ho předchází a je černější než jeho obleky a kravaty. Když ho Elena poprvé spatří, nedokáže se ovládnout a zlostně se na něj podívá. Díky tomu zjišťuje, že je to muž nejen hrubý, ale také pohledný.
Nelíbí se jí jeho chování ani způsob života, přesto si však její srdce nemůže pomoci a buší jako zběsilé, kdykoli je mu nablízku. Nedokáže zabránit zachvění, které jí přejede po páteři pokaždé, když slyší jeho hlas.
A on je jí nablízku neustále. Přikazuje jí, co má dělat, a rozpaluje ji víc, než se na budoucího švagra sluší. Navenek je Elena stále Sladkou Abelliovou, ale ve skrytu duše si začíná uvědomovat, že jí učarovala jeho temnota, hrubé ruce, cigarety a oči barvy whisky. Jednou už si ale pověst pošpinila a nesmí dopustit, aby se minulost opakovala.
Navíc, i kdyby nakonec byli spolu, každý přece ví, že do mafiána se dívka nikdy nesmí zamilovat… Nebo snad ano?
