Holmes a Moriarty
Nová kriminálna záhada Sherlocka Holmesa.
Píše sa rok 1889 a Sherlock Holmes s doktorom Watsonom sú najatí mladým hercom, aby vyšetrili podivný prípad. Na jeho divadelné predstavenia totiž chodia tí istí diváci, no vždy v inom prestrojení. Môže to byť azda predzvesť niečoho zlovestného?
Medzitým sa Holmesov úhlavný nepriateľ profesor Moriarty a jeho strážca Moran zapletajú do vraždy vodcu gangu. Teraz unikajú pred políciou a zároveň sa snažia zistiť, kto za tým všetkým stojí. Počas vyšetrovania sa však pripletú do cesty Holmesovi a Watsonovi a netrvá dlho, kým si všetci štyria uvedomia, že sú terčom tej istej osoby. Ich životy sú v ohrození, a tak musia uzavrieť neľahké spojenectvo. Stopy ich zavedú do hotela vo Švajčiarsku k sprisahaniu, ktoré je omnoho väčšie, než si dokázali predstaviť. Komu môžu veriť a kto z nich nakoniec prežije?

Za vším hledej pivo
Víte, jak pivo formovalo kulturu a svět kolem nás?
Láska k pivu ovlivňuje lidstvo už 13 000 let. Kněží ho využívali při náboženských obřadech, sloužilo jako platidlo pro dělníky při stavbě pyramid. Také jako bezpečný zdroj tekutin v době, kdy pít vodu znamenalo smrt. I první lednička na světě byla sestrojena právě kvůli pivu. Pivo pomohlo objevit bakterie a pivovarské kvasnice možná jednou dokážou vyřešit změnu klimatu.
V této knize se dozvíte, jak touha po dokonale načepovaném půllitru ovlivnila vývoj civilizací, vědecké objevy i politická rozhodnutí.
Vydejte se do slavných pivních destinací – na mnichovský Oktoberfest, do legendární laboratoře Carlsbergu či do St. Louis, domova Budweiseru.
Hříšná dohoda
Svatba má být tím nejšťastnějším dnem v životě, ne dnem, kdy zjistíte, že váš nastávající je nevěrný zmetek.
Při zoufalém útěku od oltáře mě zachytí silné ruce. Škoda, že patří úhlavnímu nepříteli mého ex – Oliveru Deubelovi. Je bohatý a mocný, tenhle muž je ztělesněný hřích. A nejvíc mě vytáčí, že je nejen arogantní a panovačný, ale i naprosto neodolatelný.
Když se můj svatební skandál stane virálním hitem na internetu a mně navíc hrozí vyhoštění ze země, Oliver mi nabídne pomoc – pokud spolu zničíme mého bývalého snoubence, on mi pomůže získat vízum. Podmínka? Musím se k němu nastěhovat a předstírat, že jsme spolu.
Nejradši bych se mu vysmála do obličeje, ale zjišťuji, jak krutý a nemilosrdný dokáže být. A tak se rozhodnu mu to oplatit tím, že mu udělám ze života peklo. Jenže on na to reaguje tím, že je... laskavý.
Pomalu ale jistě se hranice mezi tím, co je skutečné, a tím, co je předstírané, stírají.
Jenže Oliver není žádný Romeo a jen blázen by se do něj zamiloval.
Bohužel se obávám, že tím bláznem budu možná já.

The Only Cure
'A scholarly masterpiece, written by the world's greatest living authority on Freud . . . There is so much to be learned in these pages'
KARL J. FRISTON, the world's most cited neuroscientist
Once dismissed as unscientific, psychoanalytic therapy is proving to be among our most effective medical treatments of any kind - outperforming psychiatric drugs and rivalling vaccines in its power to prevent and heal. Why does it work so well?
Perhaps because one of the most controversial figures in psychology was right all along. Neuroscience now confirms much of what Sigmund Freud conjectured over a century ago: our deepest struggles stem, not from chemical imbalances, but from buried memories and unconscious conflicts that no pill can touch.
Using enthralling case studies and cutting-edge brain science, pioneering neuroscientist Mark Solms makes the case that psychoanalysis should resume its position as our master theory of the mind. Yet modern research also reveals where Freud got important things wrong. Could correcting these errors make therapy even more effective?
As psychiatric diagnoses soar and standard treatments continue to fail many patients, The Only Cure offers a revolutionary hope: a real science of healing, rooted in the radical idea that our suffering arises from truths we haven't yet faced.

• HOW TO LEARN BETTER AND FASTER
• CULTIVATING MENTAL TOUGHNESS
• DEVELOPING THE SKILLS TO QUICKLY ASSESS, CHOOSE, AND EXECUTE
• AND MUCH, MUCH MORE

Eradication
A moving fable in which a grieving man, confronts a broken world on an island overpopulated by goats.
Reeling from tragedy, a former jazz musician-turned-schoolteacher named Adi answers a job listing advertising a chance to save the world. The assignment: to spend five weeks alone on the tiny, isolated Pacific Island of Santa Flora and reckon with its invasive population of goats that's sent the ecological balance severely out of whack..
What follows, however, is anything but balanced. The threats to the once-Edenic island, Adi soon learns, aren't exactly what his employers said they were - and, complicating things further, he discovers he's not alone on the island. Fearful for his own life, and for the fate of the island, Adi spends his sun-drenched days rooting out the true threat to Santa Flora, and, by extension, to the world it occupies - and the desperate steps he must take to eradicate it.
Eradication is an utterly unforgettable reading experience and the work of a truly singular imagination.
The Bridge to Always
A story about identity and place, about finding out who you are, who your people are, and what it means to be a family.
Maeve Gaffney arrives in a small West Cork town in pursuit of a dream: to be reunited with Tim, the lad she fell for years ago and who, unbeknownst to him, fathered her daughter, Emer.
For Tim, now married and a pillar of the community, Emer's existence is a shock - but the chance to rekindle an old flame with her mother is tempting.
For Agnes, a lonely landowner, Maeve and Emer's arrival is an opportunity to make money - and maybe new friends.
For Malachi, a man of few words but deep emotions, it's . . . complicated.
For Emer, it's about growing up and finding her voice.
For all five, the arrival of this beautiful, wild mother and her silent, observant daughter sparks a devastating chain of events none of them could have predicted.
Being an Oak
The enchanting biography of an ancient tree.
For over two centuries, as rulers have risen and fallen and wars have raged, one majestic oak tree has lived out an epic drama. From germination in 1780 to adapting to the changing climate of the modern age, its struggles and triumphs took place far from human eyes. That is, until one day a young man named Laurent Tillon came across it, and a decades-long relationship began ...
In this dazzling book, biodiversity expert Tillon narrates the story of the tree he calls Quercus. Evoking the richness which is all around us, he reveals that Quercus is embedded in a network of ever-shifting relationships, from close alliances between plants and animals to battles between insects, birds and fungi.
A book of ecology unlike any other, Being An Oak offers a tree-eyed view of life on earth.
Translated by the award-winning translator Jessica Moore.
Celtic Magic
A captivating introduction to Celtic magic, revealing its integration into daily life from antiquity to the Middle Ages, inviting readers to explore its mysteries through rituals and practical charms.
Druids and divination, curses and charms: the Celtic world was filled with magic and intrigue, but how did people practise magic and what did they use it for? Brigid Ehrmantraut takes us on a journey through the Celtic-speaking world to explore the different ways people interacted with magic. Some sought aid through deities and dedications, while others wanted to punish their enemies with spells and curse tablets.
By the start of the medieval period, we see magic collide with popular religion, saints overtake the old gods, and witches, shapeshifting and spirit battles make their way into medieval literature. Ehrmantraut introduces us to the gods and practices that shaped the lives of the Celtic people in antiquity. She brings to life forgotten gods like Cernunnos and Esus, immortalized on the Pillar of the Boatmen, and explores the sanctuary of Sequana, goddess of healing at the Seine's source. But magic wasn't always benevolent; curses (defixiones) like those etched on the Larzac tablet expose a darker side to magic practitioners. While Classical accounts of magic offer tantalizing glimpses into lurid rituals and wild druids, their accounts blurring fact and fiction.
Our voyage through the Celtic world sweeps into medieval Wales and Ireland, touching on Scotland and Brittany in the process. Protective prayers, such as St Patrick's loricae, and miraculous tales from saints' lives reveal the interplay of magic and religion. While the power of star signs and medicinal charms connect Celtic practices to broader medieval traditions. Finally, the book celebrates the legacy of Celtic magic, linking ancient magic to modern Celtic-inspired spirituality.
Throughout the book, the reader will find tips and tricks for practising their own magic, including creating curses, dedicating ex votos to the gods, and a medieval Welsh cure for a hangover.
Forgotten
Forgotten is a search for hidden or neglected memorials and places in historic Palestine - now Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories - and what they might tell us about the land and the people who live on our small slip of earth between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
From ancient city ruins to the Nabi 'Ukkasha mosque and tomb, acclaimed writers and researchers Raja Shehadeh and Penny Johnson ask: what has been memorialised, and what lies unseen, abandoned or erased - and why? Whether standing on a high cliff overlooking Lebanon or at the lowest land-based elevation on earth at the Dead Sea, they explore lost connections in a fragmented land.
In elegiac, elegant prose, Shehadeh and Johnson grapple not only with questions of Israeli resistance to acknowledging the Nakba - the 1948 catastrophe for Palestinians - but also with the complicated history of Palestinian commemoration today.
