Hodža: poslanec - minister – premiér
JUDr. Milan Hodža (* 1878, Sučany, Rakúsko-Uhorsko – † 1944, Clearwater, USA), slovenský politik, štátnik a publicista. Bol úradujúci prezident Česko-slovenskej republiky, jedenásty, prvý slovenský, predseda vlády Česko-Slovenska a viackrát minister. Napriek tomu, že v slovenskej, ale aj v česko-slovenskej politike, bol ojedinelým zjavom, veľa sa o ňom nevie, nepublikuje. Sám bol zapálený novinár a žurnalistike sa venoval už od svojich dvadsiatych rokov, o sebe toho veľa nenapísal. Zrejme však hlavná príčina tkvie v tom, že žiadnemu režimu celkom nevyhovoval. Pre ľudákov bol počas slovenského štátu čechoslovakista. Pre komunistov po roku 1948 bol predstaviteľ buržoázie a jeden z vinníkov Mníchovskej dohody. Po vzniku Slovenskej republiky v roku 1993 sa pri jeho mene spomínali mnohé „smrteľné“ politické hriechy, ale nakoniec ho vzali na milosť. No, ako sa hovorí v jednej anekdote, zlý dojem, aj po vysvetlení situácie, zostal. Kniha približuje čitateľovi život a politické pôsobenie Milana Hodžu v novodobých slovenských dejinách.

The Steps
A gritty, inspiring, heart-wrenching memoir by the Academy Award-winning legend and icon Sylvester Stallone, about his unlikely path to stardom and the creation of the greatest underdog story ever told.
In the fifty years since Sylvester Stallone ran up the steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, he and those steps have become symbols of resilience and determination, and have inspired millions from all over the world to pursue their dreams. In The Steps, Stallone recounts how he pursued his own dreams. A culmination of decades of reflection, Sly shares where he came from - a difficult birth, an even more difficult childhood, years of struggle in school being misunderstood - and he explains how the real story of a successful life is built by facing, embracing and ultimately overcoming our challenges. It's found in the distances we are willing to go and the steps we must take to get from where we are to where we want to go.
In a narrative framed between Stallone's arrival in New York City in 1969 and the triumph of Rocky at the 1977 Academy Awards, Sly weaves a vivid and propulsive portrait of struggle, subsistence and ultimately success. He writes of his early days and later years, too, and the persistence, creativity and resilience that led not only to the creation of Rocky but to a career filled with remarkably iconic roles. The Steps is a testament to Stallone's extraordinary life and a profound meditation on the importance of vision and willpower and hard work.

Karmínové hortenzie 1
Mala som zomrieť už dávno. Ale prežila som. Prežila som toľkokrát, až sa to prestalo podobať náhode. No nie všetko, čo prežiješ, ťa nechá celú. Niektoré veci v tebe zostanú dlhšie a hlbšie. A napokon, aj napriek všetkému, definujú tvoj osud.
Myslela som, že to najhoršie je za mnou. Že som konečne v bezpečí. Bola som si istá, že som si vybudovala život, ktorý mi už nikto nevezme… A na chvíľu to bola pravda. Mala som všetko, čo som si kedysi ani nedovolila chcieť.
Ako veľmi som sa mýlila…
Stačila jedna chvíľa, aby sa všetko rozpadlo, aby som sa ocitla na úplnom dne. Bez varovania. Bez vysvetlenia. Zrazu som zostala obklopená len beznádejou. A práve vtedy som ho stretla.
„Celeste, aká náhoda, že mi pomáhaš práve ty…“
Zaskočená som sa spýtala: „Odkiaľ…?“
„Z budúcnosti…“ odpovedal neochvejne, skôr než som dokončila otázku.
„Vidíš?“ zašepkal. „Presne takto to robíš vždy. Zachraňuješ. A pritom netušíš, koho si práve pustila k sebe.“
V tej chvíli som ešte nechápala, že on nikdy nebol ten, kto potreboval pomoc, ale ten, pred ktorým som mala utekať.
Čo má muž, ktorý sa nikdy nevzdáva, spoločné s minulosťou, prítomnosťou a budúcnosťou hlavnej hrdinky? Prežije Celeste vo svete, ktorý jej nikdy nedovolil byť slobodnou? A aké tajomstvo skrýva neznámy, ktorý sa objavil práve vtedy, keď mala Celeste zomrieť?
Odpovede vás vtiahnu do temného, mrazivo realistického dystopického príbehu, z ktorého sa nedá uniknúť.
Karmínové hortenzie 2
„Vždy si bola vzdorovitá,“ pokračoval ticho, „ale to sa teraz skončí.“
Palcom mi prešiel po spodnej pere, pomaly, takmer skúmavo a jemne ju pootvoril, keď sa ku mne naklonil bližšie. Tvrdosť jeho tela sa aj cez látku uniformy pritlačila o moje stehno – neprehliadnuteľná pripomienka jeho neochvejnej kontroly.
„To znamená… že ma teraz zabiješ?“ zašepkala som.
Hlas sa mi zachytil v hrdle, sotva ma mohol počuť, zatiaľ čo strach vo mne rástol a spolu s ním aj zakázané vzrušenie, ktoré mi pulzovalo žilách.
„Mal by som,“ odpovedal takmer hravo, „no neurobím to… aspoň nie zatiaľ.“
Xavriel sa ticho zasmial. Ten zvuk mi zavibroval priamo v hrudi. Jeho druhá ruka skĺzla nižšie, až spočinula na oblúku môjho bedra a bez námahy si ma pritiahol ešte bližšie. Zachvela som sa.
„Je zaujímavé sledovať, ako sa ma zrazu bojíš,“ zamrmlal pri mojich perách. „Bude to celkom zábava, keď ma konečne začneš rešpektovať!“
Schmatol ma za vlasy a hlavu mi prudko otočil do strany. Jeho dych ma popálil na krku, kým jeho slová niesli temný prísľub. Xavrielove prsty sa mi pohrávali s bradou, zdvihli ju o trochu vyššie, aby som sa nemohla vyhnúť jeho skúmavému pohľadu, a zatiaľ jeho druhá ruka privlastňujúco stisla môj bok. Kolená sa mi podlomili a telo sa k nemu nevedomky prehlo – napriek hrôze, ktorá mi práve zvierala dušu…
V tej chvíli mi bolo jasné, že ak chcem prežiť, budem sa mu musieť podriadiť.
Nechajte sa vtiahnuť do druhej časti príbehu, kde sa vzrušujúce napätie prelína s erotickou iskrou a kde má aj temnota svoju neodolateľnú príťažlivosť.
Brain Damage
From #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Intruder!
How can you survive when you can't remember who wants you dead?
Dr. Charly McKenna had the perfect life: a thriving dermatology practice, a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park, and a handsome husband who adored her.
Until the night a bullet tore through her skull… and stole everything.
Now Charly wakes in a rehabilitation hospital unable to walk, speak, or remember her own name. All she knows is that someone tried to kill her-and they may still be out there. As fragments of memory surface, so do unsettling questions about the people around her, including the attentive man who keeps appearing at her bedside.
The truth of what happened that night lives somewhere inside her brain. And as Charly pieces together the jagged edges of her past, she begins to realize the most terrifying possibility: the person who wants her dead might be the one she once trusted most.
From #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a scalpel-sharp psychological thriller about fractured memory, buried secrets, and how far the mind will go to protect you from the truth.

Adversary to the Villain
HR Update: The position of "adversary to the villain" has been filled. Evie Sage does not recall applying.
Evie has always tried to be helpful, loyal, and only mildly involved in treason. But with a dangerous prophecy threatening the very magic of Rennedawn - not to mention the race to claim its necessary artifacts before King Benedict does - things are starting to feel… less like a career path and more like a serious problem.
The prophecy won't stop pointing in Evie's direction. The Villain's magic keeps choosing her. And honestly, if you're going to be accused of evil anyway, you might as well commit.
Unfortunately, the more Evie leans into her alleged villain era, the more her boss starts acting like the hero of a completely different story. Trystan is getting closer - closer than is wise, advisable, or even remotely professional - and looking at her like she's already chosen a side. His.
Which is deeply inconvenient, because if Evie can't save the kingdom's magic, she might just become its greatest threat.

Lakestone: Srdce temnoty
Ve zdánlivě poklidném americkém městě Ewing se Iris v tichu a přítmí knihovny připravuje na semestrální zkoušky. Kilometry od ní zase neznámý zabiják mrzne v třeskutě chladné noci, ledové jako mrtvola, kterou právě zakopává.
Ti dva spolu nemají vůbec nic společného, a přesto je pojí ten samý cíl: sehnat pořádný balík peněz. Iris proto, aby mohla zaplatit školné, a nájemný zabiják z toho důvodu, aby mohl splnit svůj úkol.
Úkol, v němž hlavní roli hraje právě ona.
Irisin osud tak začíná být úzce spjat s životem tohoto muže a dochází ke spojení, které v něm probudí zvědavost i touhu zároveň. Mladá studentka se ze dne na den ocitá vytržená z rutiny svého každodenního života a je vydána na milost i nemilost zabijákovi, jehož předchází pověst impulzivního šílence. Šílence vychovaného k tomu, aby zabíjel...

Operace Porcus
Bohatý dánský majitel řady velkochovů prasat je už tři týdny nezvěstný, když jednoho pozdního večera kdosi zazvoní u dveří novináře Michaela Molla. Moll pak najde na rohožce obálku s fotografií ztraceného podnikatele, výzvou Přijďte za mnou dnes v noci sem a adresou.
Novinář se na dané místo rozjede a události nabírají rychlý spád. Zdá se, že by v pozadí mohli stát ruští zabijáci. Mnoho stop však ukazuje i na zapojení radikálních bojovníků za práva zvířat. Celá záležitost se navíc pro Molla záhy stává osobní, protože se dotkne i jeho devatenáctileté dcery.
Když v zemi propuknou střety mezi aktivisty prosazujícími zlepšení podmínek chovaných prasat a zemědělci chránícími své farmy, začne se případem zabývat i dánská tajná služba a její agentka Christiane Mielckeová. Ta brzy zjistí, že Moll je do celé záležitosti zapletený víc, než je ochotný přiznat. Oba však brzy pochopí, že se jeden bez druhého neobejdou, pokud chtějí případ rozluštit. Šest dramatických dnů nakonec vyvrcholí hrůznou hrou na život a na smrt.

Under an eternal night, the world has been ravaged by ten years of war between humans and vampires. Kyrene scrapes by as a bounty hunter, bearing a blessed sword from the goddess of justice. But in the wake of a devastating loss, Kyrene commits a crime that makes her a target for mortals and gods alike - and she is still desperate for vengeance.
