Memorial Days
''Brooks tracks the geography of grief with patience and grace... a lifeline to others who will find themselves in this familiar, shattered landscape of grief'' Los Angeles Times''Highly recommended to those who enjoy her novels, but also to anyone who needs to remember how joy and grief can (and should) coexist'' Maggie StiefvaterA heartrending and beautiful memoir of sudden loss and a journey to peace, from the bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of? Horse.Many cultural and religious traditions expect those who are grieving to step away from the world. In contemporary life, we are more often met with red tape and to-do lists. This is exactly what happened to Geraldine Brooks when her partner of more than three decades, Tony Horwitz - just sixty years old and, to her knowledge, vigorous and healthy - collapsed and died on a Washington, D. C. sidewalk.After spending their early years together in conflict zones as foreign correspondents, Geraldine and Tony settled down to raise two boys on Martha''s Vineyard. The life they built was one of meaningful work, good humor, and tenderness, as they spent their days writing and their evenings cooking family dinners or watching the sun set with friends at Lambert''s Cove. But all of this came to an abrupt end when, on Memorial Day 2019, Geraldine received the phone call we all dread. The demands were immediate and many. Without space to grieve, the sudden loss became a yawning gulf.Three years later, she booked a flight to a remote island off the coast of Australia with the intention of finally giving herself the time to mourn. In a shack on a pristine, rugged coast she often went days without seeing another person. There, she pondered the varied ways those of other cultures grieve, such as the people of Australia''s First Nations, the Balinese, and the Iranian Shiites, and what rituals of her own might help to rebuild a life around the void of Tony''s death.A spare and profoundly moving memoir that joins the classics of the genre, Memorial Days is a portrait of a larger-than-life man and a timeless love between souls that exquisitely captures the joy, agony, and mystery of life.
Bodily Fluids
‘Drama and humanity laced with humour both subtle and lurid’ Samer Nashef, author of The Naked SurgeonThe Greek physician Hippocrates thought the human body contained blood, phlegm and bile. In the right balance, these fluids produced health; if not, pain. Liam Hughes is very familiar with bodily fluids. He spent nearly five decades on the NHS frontline, ultimately as a senior cardiologist. Extending the Hippocratic list to include sweat, tears, urine, solid waste and spunk (fortitude), he uses this framework to tell his own story of the highs and lows of hospital life. The terminal patient begging for a ‘Brompton cocktail’ to end his suffering; the loathsome on-call surgeon who impales himself on a shooting-stick; the selfless consultant who rams a police car to save a patient’s life: all shape Hughes’ strong sense of what the medical calling should and should not entail. By turns moving, instructive, hilarious and outrageous, Bodily Fluids also expresses its author’s anxiety about the state of our health service – and offers a bold prescription for the way forward.

He was magnetic, domineering, both the sponsor of her early promise and its destroyer.

A Stage Set for Villains
The gods are dead. All that's left are the Players . . .
The performers of the Playhouse are as worshipped as they are feared, their enchanting shows bending hearts, minds, and even reality itself. Vicious, godlike, lethal. Eighteen-year-old Riven Hesper knows the dangers better than anyone, after her own encounter with a Player resulted in a curse that is slowly killing her.
When the Playhouse announces the spectacle of a lifetime - a chance for one mortal to steal a Player's immortality - Riven sees her last chance to live. Desperate for answers, she infiltrates the competition. There, she finds Jude, the Playhouse's brilliant, merciless Lead Player, whose charm is as dangerous as his Craft, and strikes a deadly bargain to save her life.
But with time running out and the Playhouse's secrets unraveling into a disturbing picture, Riven faces a grim possibility: she might not be the hero of her story after all. In fact, she may be the villain.
Because the Playhouse doesn't just tell stories. It rewrites them.
And Riven's might end in blood.
Caraval meets One Dark Window in this lush and dark fantasy.
Backlight
A riveting, funny coming-of-age story: the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.
Teenaged Pirkko can't decide which she hates most: God, her communist father, or her growing breasts. Grandpa has moved into the room long promised to her, and Mother, overworked and distant, tries to keep the peace between her headstrong daughter and husband. It's 1960s Finland and Pirkko has fun getting into trouble. That is, until her teacher suggests she might have what it takes to be a real writer. Then the historic summer of 1968 arrives, which Pirkko spends working at a Swiss orphanage where no one understands her and, as much as her family drive her mad, she's homesick for the first time.
As the world shifts and swirls around her, Pirkko must make sense of it all - including her own sexual identity.
A funny, unique coming-of-age story and an intimate portrait of a life lived in language, Backlight is the second volume in Pirkko Saisio's award-winning Helsinki trilogy.

Flourish
• How do we set about finding greater fulfilment in our lives?
• How do we achieve a sense of well-being?
• How do we foster relationships that will add depth and meaning to our existence?
• How, in other words, do we go from living to flourishing?
In his new book, bestselling author Daniel Coyle trains his expert eye on the people who have demonstrated exceptional powers of dynamism and connectivity, and teases out their secrets.
* The Chilean miners who withstood being trapped deep underground for 33 days by establishing rituals of belonging and purpose.
* The Dutch community that sparked urban renewal through a smart system of self-organisation.
* The delicatessen in Michigan that has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise, not by writing business plans but by shaping attentional space - focussing on how people show up, listen and engage.
From such remarkable stories of individual and group achievement, Coyle distils the core dynamics that make them possible - and, in the process, shows how small, deliberate shifts in how we think and interact can create extraordinary impact.

Art for All. Art History
A comprehensive volume covering five seminal genres that shaped art, from the late 19th century and well into the 20th: Impressionism, Expressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art. Each approach was distinct in aesthetic and philosophy, but all had immediate impact and enduring influence. Many great names were indelibly associated with one, some explored several during their careers.
Impressionism, led by Monet and Renoir, focused on light and color, capturing fleeting moments and challenging academic art's rigidity. Expressionism was driven by artists like Edvard Munch and Wassily Kandinsky to convey raw emotion, distorting reality to reflect the angst of human experience. Surrealists, like Salvador Dal? and René Magritte, explored the subconscious, dreams, and the irrational, blending reality with fantasy across art, literature, and film. With Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko leading the charge, Abstract Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and emotion through bold, gestural brushstrokes, and established New York as the post-war art world's new Mecca. Finally, artists like Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol gained fame and dominated the zeitgeist by synthesizing advertising, pop culture, and high art into Pop Art.
Though diverse, these movements collectively pushed the boundaries of creativity, redefined artistic expression, and altered the trajectory of contemporary art. This lavish edition celebrates their stories, featuring more than 250 high-quality reproductions and texts, exploring how each movement's ideas and innovations transformed art forever.
Pod jiným jménem
Mladá dramatička Melina Greenová právě napsala novou hru inspirovanou životem své alžbětinské předkyně Emilie Bassanové. Ale že by se dočkala jejího uvedení? To je v divadelním světě, kde ženy nemívají stejnou startovní čáru jako muži, nepravděpodobné. A tak se Melinina kamarádka rozhodne poslat hru na festival pod mužským pseudonymem. V roce 1581 je Emilia Bassanová chráněnkou anglických šlechticů. A ačkoli je velmi duchaplná a má vypravěčský talent, jako většina žen své doby nemá vlastní hlas. Když je donucena stát se milenkou vlivného lorda, Emilia díky němu poprvé vidí, co dokážou slova dramatiků. Rozhodne se tedy tajně dostat na jeviště svou hru – tím, že zaplatí herci jménem William Shakespeare, aby ji uvedl pod svým jménem. Autorka ve dvou prolínajících se časových rovinách – i s pomocí autentických historických pramenů – rozvíjí působivý příběh ambicí, odvahy a odhodlání, příběh dvou žen, které sice dělí staletí, ale spojuje je touha nedbat předsudků a moci svobodně tvořit.
