A Life in Lyrics
Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest showmen of the twentieth century. With his unparalleled voice and searing on-stage energy, he was a great pretender, a killer queen and a champion of the world.
But behind the glamour lived a musician and lyricist talented beyond measure, and the creative force behind one of the most culturally significant and musically diverse bands the world has ever seen.
When Freddie passed away in 1991, he left to his former fiancée and dearest friend Mary Austin not only his house and possessions but also a creative archive spanning almost two decades. From his earliest works before Queen was formed, right through to the end of his solo career, his notebooks and doodlings contain previously unpublished material including alternate lyrics and abandoned verses for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and multiple drafts of ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, as well as entire songs that were never recorded.
Accompanied by stories, memories, and anecdotes from his lifelong companion, and illustrated with photographs from Freddie’s personal collection, many of which have never been published before, A Life in Lyrics is the definitive creative record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

Místo na nový začátek
Román Místo na nový začátek vypráví dojemný příběh Lilac McCarthyové, která se po tragické ztrátě snaží znovu najít pevnou půdu pod nohama. Veškerou svou energii upíná k rodinné farmě Cherry Hill, jež pro ni není jen zdrojem obživy, ale především posledním poutem k minulosti, kterou nechce ztratit. Každodenní starosti, péče o sad i přípravy tradičního festivalu jí dávají smysl i řád – a zároveň jí pomáhají držet bolest na uzdě.
Když se však do jejího života nečekaně vrací Bo Radisson, kdysi blízký přítel, první láska a zároveň dávný protivník, Lilacin pečlivě vystavěný svět se začne otřásat v základech. Bo přijíždí s vlastními plány a představami o budoucnosti, které se střetávají s Lilacinou touhou uchovat vše tak, jak bylo. Staré rány, nevyřčené výčitky i potlačované city znovu ožívají a nutí oba postavit se minulosti, kterou nikdy doopravdy neuzavřeli.
Lilac se ocitá na rozcestí: má se držet jistot, které jí dávají pocit bezpečí, nebo riskovat a otevřít své srdce změně? Dokáže odpustit – nejen druhým, ale i sama sobě? A je možné znovu uvěřit lásce, která kdysi ztroskotala?

The Birthing Tree
From the internationally bestselling author of The Berry Pickers: a powerful, intensely moving novel of family and legacy, following one woman as she confronts buried truths and the fragile future she alone must protectAs I stood under it, looking up into the branches, listening as the wind rustled the leaves, I could hear my Kiju’s voice: “This tree holds our stories.”Born under the shadow of a tree sacred to generations of Indigenous women, Aliet has been brought up by her fierce, loving grandmother, Kiju. Her father remains a mystery, and her mother died under that very tree, gently held by its cradle of roots as Aliet came into the world.But now the world beyond their small community is changing. Local women are increasingly reluctant to follow traditional birthing rituals, and at the hospital, white doctors are sceptical of Indigenous practices. Aliet and Kiju are distraught to witness their prejudice turn into condemnation, but decades later, Aliet too will move away and work as a nurse in the city, administering modern medicine while still holding her grandmother’s wisdom dear.When Kiju passes away suddenly, grief-stricken Aliet understands that she must return to the tree: only these roots can help her reconnect with her heritage, and discover long-buried secrets about herself. It is the start of Aliet’s journey to protect her land, her traditions, and the memory of the women who came before her, as she decides which parts of her inheritance she will carry into the future.

History of the Modern World
Written by leading historian Jeremy Black, this fascinating reference guide charts an incredible history of the modern world.In this masterful account, Black explores the key themes that have shaped the history of the modern world since 1950. Eschewing a simple political narrative, he instead explores the roles of the environment, demographics, the economy and technology in driving change in the world.The story begins in 1950, by which time a new world order had come into place, with Communism firmly established in Russia, Eastern Europe and China, decolonisation well underway in the old European empires, and the American monopoly on nuclear weaponry at an end, setting the stage for the Cold War.Over the course of the next 75 years, the world changed immeasurably - the population nearly tripled; climate change became ever more pronounced; new liberal values regarding gender, sexuality and age took hold; television and then the internet became the primary drivers of culture; and a new frontier of exploration opened up in space. At the same time tensions continued in politics, with alternative models of democracy and authoritarianism coming into fierce conflict and a range of new countries emerging through decolonization.Ranging widely across the globe, A History of the Modern World sheds new light on this fascinating era.

Skryté v bezpečí
Provokatívny, zvrátený príbeh o túžbe, žiarlivosti a posadnutosti, ktorý skúma dedičstvo druhej svetovej vojny a temné stránky kolektívnej minulosti.
Rok 1961. Vidiecka holandská provincia Overijssel je opäť pokojná a tichá. Isabel žije sama v dome svojej zosnulej matky. Jej život je vedený rutinou a disciplínou, až kým Isabelin brat Louis neprivedie svoju novú priateľku Evu. Návštevníčka je Isabeliným absolútnym protikladom: dlho spí, chodí hlučne po dome, dotýka sa vecí, ktorých by sa dotýkať nemala. Keď začnú miznúť rôzne predmety – strieborná lyžica, nôž, miska –, Isabeline podozrenia naberú na sile. V spare horúcich dní sa jej paranoja mení na frustráciu a hnev, ktoré prevrátia naruby všetko, čo Isabel doteraz poznala. Ani Eva, ani dom, v ktorom žijú, nie sú také, akými sa zdajú...
Esejistka a učiteľka kreatívneho písania Yael van der Wouden pochádza z Holandska. Jej debutová kniha Skryté v bezpečí má na konte niekoľko uznávaných ocenení a bola preložená do viac ako dvadsiatich jazykov. Vo svojich textoch sa nebojí rozvíjať psychologické motívy a klásť dôležité otázky o problémoch súčasného sveta.

Situated : Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best
‘If you read one book this year to level up your life, make it this one’ MEL ROBBINS'For anyone who feels stuck, this book offers a path to something new' CAROL DWECK From the #1 bestselling author of Grit, a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations - and how you can shape them to bring out your best.In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed 'grit.' This new book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial.Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even where you live. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first.
In Situated, you’ll discover:Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another – and how you can harness that shift
The secret to conquering temptation without willpower
Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem
How the company you keep shapes the person you become
The most effective ways to help others succeedHighlighting four essential elements of successful situations, Duckworth shows how high performers like Taylor Swift, Michael Phelps and Jerry Seinfeld create situations that make the most of their grit. And with disarming honesty, she shares her own struggles with burnout and marriage – and how learning to change her situation, not herself, made all the difference.Whatever it is you want to achieve, there’s a situation that can make your journey easier.It takes effort to make your situation your ally – but a little effort goes a long way ... when you get situated.

Po svadbe s Dantem hrozí, že sa táto jej spleť lží zrúti ako domček z kariet. Valentina má obavy, že počas svadobnej noci dôjde k odhaleniu jej tajomstva. Jej obavy sa však ukážu ako neopodstatnené, pretože Dante si ju vôbec nevšíma. Jej strach sa čoskoro zmení na zmätok a hnev. Valentinu už unavuje, že ju Dante neustále prehliada. Je rozhodnutá získať si jeho pozornosť a rozdúchať jeho túžby, a to aj napriek tomu, že si nemôže získať jeho srdce, ktoré stále patrí jeho mŕtvej manželke.
