The Death of Trotsky
In August 1940, a man walked into Leon Trotsky's study in Mexico City and drove an ice pick into his skull. The killer? Ramón Mercader - an aristocratic Spaniard turned Soviet assassin. The mastermind? Joseph Stalin.
But this was no simple hit. It was the climax of a decade-long global hunt: a story of seduction and betrayal, of fake identities and secret loyalties, of idealists and fanatics, lovers and spies. While Trotsky raged in exile - still clinging to his revolutionary dream - Stalin's agents closed in. At the heart of it all was Mercader: a man trained to lie, charm and ultimately to kill.
Tracing a path from the cafés of Paris to the battlefields of Spain, from Stalin's Kremlin to a bloodied study in Mexico, The Death of Trotsky unfolds like a spy thriller - a story of obsession and betrayal, of dreams destroyed and loyalties twisted, culminating in one of the most shocking murders of the modern age.
Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos - Total Chaos 1
Celine Brennan should be riding the high of her recent promotion to detective, but instead she's been saddled with a case no one can seem to solve with murders so gruesome others before her have quit. Not to mention, there's something suspicious with a new club in town and her focus keeps being pulled from the case she should be devoting her attention to.
Zavier Lockwood is old. Three-hundred-years old to be precise and he's bored because of it. Killing the scum of Chicago and cleaning up the streets since the cops can't seem to do it is his favorite pastime. Until he lays eyes on Celine. Soon, he finds his obsession with her far more tempting than murder. After all, no vampire can resist the allure of their mate.
As their paths cross thanks to Zavier's uncanny ability to be wherever Celine is they both come to realize there's something far more nefarious going on in the city they both love. They'll have to work together to get to the bottom of it, but what happens when Celine realises the man she's falling for isn't only not human, but he's the same one committing the crimes she's supposed to solve?

Death and the Gardener
Through long winter mornings in Bulgaria, a man sits by the bedside of his elderly father.
His father, who created and left- behind a garden, blooming from a barren village yard: peonies and potatoes, roses and cherry trees. His father, without whom the man begins to quietly crack. Because the end of our fathers is the end of a world.
From the winner of the International Booker Prize comes a novel about a father, a son and an orphaned garden, interweaving the botany of sorrow, the consolations of storytelling and the arrival of the first tulips of spring.

Boris, Al & Superhrdinovia vedy
Boris je opatrný a ustráchaný. V škole ani doma to nemá jednoduché. Jedného dňa sa však zoznámi s „kamarátkou“, ktorá pozná odpovede na všetky jeho otázky. Vďaka umelej inteligencii sa Boris veľa naučí. Napríklad aj to, že superhrdinovia vedy boli obyčajní ľudia, ktorí mali podobné problémy ako on. Popri objavovaní sveta vynálezov Boris nachádza odvahu postaviť sa svojim strachom, nepriateľom a pochybnostiam.
Je to dobrodružný príbeh o túžbe pýtať sa, objavovať, veriť v seba samého a zistení, že niekedy najväčším vynálezom nie je padák ani turbína, ale priateľstvo a odvaha žiť svoj život.
Príbehy najväčších slovenských vedcov s komiksom.

William & Catherine
From the relentless media scrutiny and controversies of their 2022 Caribbean Tour to the shock cancer diagnoses of both the Princess of Wales and the King, this captivating biography by acclaimed royal expert Russell Myers intimately traces the story of William and Catherine’s relationship from their earliest meeting at St Andrews University to the present day. Drawing on exclusive access to numerous palace insiders, it offers never-before-told context about the biggest stories to have followed the Prince and Princess of Wales in recent years – including the Sussex departure, the forming of the ‘Cambridge way,’ and the death of Queen Elizabeth II – and provides an unprecedented glimpse into their private lives. Highlighting the couple's resilience and dedication in the face of adversity, William and Catherine presents a deeply personal perspective on how the events the Prince and Princess have weathered together will shape their vision for a modern monarchy – as they set out to secure its safe continuation at a time of extreme change and turmoil.
God Is a Pickle
God Is A Pickle looks at how a humble kitchen ritual became a defining thread in the fabric of Czech life. In a country hardened by scarcity, where faith waned but traditions endured, preserving the harvest became an act of resilience and a way of staying connected to land and memory. Structured around the passage of seasons, the book offers over 100 recipes that move seamlessly between preservation and preparation, from the jar to the plate, tracing a cultural logic in which nothing is wasted, least of all meaning. At its heart, God Is A Pickle celebrates what lasts; it is a book about what we choose to carry forward, through habit, care, and sometimes, a spoonful of something sour.

She takes readers through the archives and across oceans; she walks the tightrope between suffering and rapture, explores her own pain and that of a multitude of creatives characters from Frida Kahlo to Kurt Cobain. Her journey reveals a series of questions. Does pain educate? Is pain always a physical experience of negation? How does pain push us to another level of creativity? What can we learn from wounding, from winnowing, from the stillness, the de-creation that intense pain brings?

This Is the Door is a celebration of what the body can endure, and what it can achieve.
