Deník lehký holky
Na prostitutku byste mě netipli. Studuju na vysoké škole, jezdím tramvají, jím v menze, nosím oblečení z H&M a mám milující rodinu. Na první pohled obyčejná holka. Liším se od svých vrstevníků jen tím, že po nocích pracuju jako společnice. A nikdo v mém okolí o tom nic netuší.
V knize odhaluju svět sexu za peníze – jeho pravidla i každodenní realitu. Jaké byly moje začátky? Jaké je to mít sex s úplně cizími muži? Jak se domlouvají ceny a schůzky, co klienti doopravdy chtějí, jaké fetiše si nosí za zavřené dveře a proč za sex se společnicemi často platí muži, kteří mají doma manželky?
Tohle je příběh o mém „druhém“ tajném životě. O životě, který v Česku žijí tisíc dalších holek. A možná, že je to i příběh někoho, koho potkáváte každý den – jen netušíte, co dělá po nocích.
Piškotový mord
Gemma snila o romantickém víkendu se svým novým přítelem, ale místo toho ji čeká vesnická slavnost s její energickou matkou a nezbednou kočkou Müsli.

Ale vražda není to jediné, co ji trápí. Zoufale hledá bydlení a odolává matce, která jejímu vztahu nepřeje. Odhalí pravdu skrytou v piškotovém dortu dřív, než vrah udeří znovu?

Augusty
Príbeh o manipulácii, ktorú možno zažívate aj vy
Daniela dospieva v rodine, kde ju namiesto blízkych objímajú úzkosti. Vracajú sa so zvláštnou pravidelnosťou – vždy v auguste. Slnečné dni pre ňu nie sú pôžitkom, ale skôr utrpením. Keď na univerzite stretne Štěpána, myslí si, že pred nepríjemným obdobím života sa jej podarí uniknúť. Netuší však, že pred touto minulosťou sa utiecť nedá.
Český spisovateľ Jakub Stanjura vo svojom mrazivom debute otvára dôležitú tému gaslightingu – špecifickej formy manipulácie, ktorá v obetiach vyvoláva pochybnosti o vlastnom uvažovaní, pamäti a celkovom vnímaní reality.

Utíká a věří, že se pro ně jednou vrátí. Huck zase utíká od tyranského otce, který ho bije. Narafičí prasečí krev, aby to vypadalo, že ho někdo zabil. Ovšem nedochází mu, že spolu s Jimovým útěkem to může vypadat, že za jeho zmizení a případnou smrt může právě Jim. Roku 2025 obdržel autor za román Pulitzerovu cenu.

Zakázaná láska
Josie Spencerová je rozhodnutá využít svůj nový začátek v New Yorku naplno. Radost jí dělají hlavně malé věci – dobrá pizza, skvělá hudba, béčkové filmy a pozorování světa skrze objektiv fotoaparátu. Láska? Ta pro ni zrovna není prioritou.
Grayson Harlow má do jednoduchosti daleko. Je okouzlující, inteligentní… a pevně svázaný železnými okovy rodinného impéria. Když se s Josie náhodou setká v Las Vegas, nemůže ji dostat z hlavy – je temperamentní, vášnivá a naprosto nedosažitelná.
Okamžitě mezi nimi přeskočí jiskra… a nedá mu spát.
Jenže o několik měsíců později Josie zjistí, že Grayson je její nový šéf. Přitažlivost mezi nimi se rázem stává nebezpečnou. Jeho mocná rodina Josie považuje za hrozbu – a udělá cokoli, aby se jí zbavila.
Josie tak stojí před rozhodnutím: udržet si tvrdě vydřenou práci snů nebo se vzdát všeho kvůli muži, kterému nedokáže odolat. Protože zamilovat se do Graysona Harlowa znamená riskovat mnohem více než jen zlomené srdce...
Neříkej, že učíš?!
Neříkej, že učíš!? – věta, kterou většina učitelů a učitelek důvěrně zná. Ten zvláštní údiv okolí, že se někdo rozhodl svůj čas, srdce a hlavu věnovat sborovnám, třídnicím a hlučícím dětem. Nenechte se ale zmást, tohle není čtení o osnovách. Je o osobnostech, které vás strhnou natolik, že s nimi budete chtít strávit celý večer, i kdybyste se o školství vůbec nezajímali.
Deset osobních rozhovorů a další desítky postřehů od vyučujících z celého Česka odkrývají svět, který mnohdy zůstává za zavřenými dveřmi sboroven. O strachu ze selhání, hledání vlastní cesty, vyhoření, ale také o momentech, které vracejí smysl všemu, co děláte. Nejsou to příběhy osamělých nadšenců. Je to důkaz, že u nás roste silná komunita lidí, kteří umí učit a nebojí se o tom mluvit.
Všichni, s nimiž se v knize setkáte, patří mezi finalistky a finalisty ceny Global Teacher Prize Czech Republic.
Speed
Prepare to view the world through a new lens - SPEED - a groundbreaking exploration that challenges your perceptions of life's driving force, from the internationally bestselling author
'There is perhaps no other academic who paints pictures with numbers like Smil' Guardian
In a world that feels like it's moving faster than ever, Smil examines how our relentless pursuit of speed - in areas such as production, travel and communication - shapes not only our technological landscape but also our social and environmental realities. And through engaging anecdotes and striking statistics, Smil challenges the assumption that faster is always better.
He invites readers to reconsider the implications of our collective obsession with speed, and its intricate relationship with nature and innovation. For example, he highlights the surprising fact that erosion can actually accelerate mountain growth, and he points out that the rapid adoption of mobile phones - achieving 90 per cent penetration in just nineteen years - reflects historical patterns of technological adoption, suggesting that our world may not be moving significantly faster than in the past.
Whether exploring the tiny mites that can traverse 300 times their body length in a second or the societal impacts of high-frequency trading, Speed invites readers to engage in a more balanced conversation about the role of speed in our lives, in an age defined by haste.

Poznejte zblízka region, kde se přírodní krása prolíná s lidskými příběhy!
Kylian Mbappe - The Definitive Biography
'Only the second teenager to have scored a goal in a World Cup Final! Welcome to the club - it's great to have some company!' Pelé
This was the praise lauded upon Kylian Mbappé who, at just 19 years of age, led France to triumph at the 2018 World Cup. As golden confetti rained down, millions across the globe watched as the young man kissed the iconic trophy; the heir to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the best footballer in the world had announced himself. It was his crowning moment.
In Kylian Mbappé: The Definitive Biography, Julien Laurens, the world's leading French football journalist, paints a vivid portrait of Mbappé's meteoric rise to global stardom. After a decade covering Kylian's career, Julien has had unprecedented access to the player's friends, coaches and teammates past and present. Exploring Mbappé's humble upbringing in the suburbs of Paris and schooling at the famed Clairefontaine academy, his peerless rise with AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as his dream move to Real Madrid where his career has reached new heights, this extensive biography crafts an intimate account of Kylian's life.
Julien takes us into the inner workings of Mbappé's psyche, as we witness how becoming a world superstar at just 19 affected the young Parisian. From the complex relationship he had with his boyhood club and its hierarchy to valiantly losing against Lionel Messi's Argentina in the 2022 World Cup Final, and becoming the new face of Real Madrid's galácticos, Julien shows us how the Mbappé that stars for club and country today is unrecognisable from the one who won the World Cup with France in 2018.

Churchill and the Crown
The story of Winston Churchill's long relationship with the Crown—from radical liberal under Edward VII to his last premiership as an old man under the young Queen Elizabeth II. Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, 'I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.' Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II. Ted Powell analyses Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in 20th century Britain.
Windswept
From New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor–winning author Margi Preus, a gripping middle-grade fantasy about a girl who must save the children of her world from being “windswept.”In Tag’s world, children are disappearing. “Youngers” who venture Outside are windswept—vanishing in the swirling snow—Tag’s sisters among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed. And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it that way. Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts—including a book of fairy tales. An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces—Boots, who can climb anything, Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who doesn’t appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept “that’s impossible,” they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy. Includes a map and black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Armando Veve
