Tajemství abatyše z Assisi, 4. vydání
Pouť ke svatému Jakubovi do Compostely patří k vrcholným projevům křesťanské zbožnosti. Oldřich z Chlumu má však svých starostí tolik, že na něco takového nikdy nepomyslel. Jenže král Přemysl II. Otakar je jiného názoru. Nařídí, aby jeho prokurátor byl členem družiny, která na zbožné pouti doprovodí královu tetu abatyši Anežku. A ještě rozmrzelejší je Oldřich ve chvíli, kdy se dozví, že společnici má Anežce dělat během cesty Světlana, dcera purkrabího Viléma z Landštejna. Ještě než překročí hranice království, dojde k první vraždě. V blízkosti poutníků se začínají pohybovat papežovi vyslanci, tajemní templáři i zvědové francouzského krále. A tehdy se Anežka Oldřichovi přizná, že k pouti ji nevedly jen zbožné úmysly. Před svou smrtí jí slovutná abatyše Klára z Assisi napsala o znepokojivém podezření. Návrat odmítá, a tak malá družina pokračuje v cestě za tajemstvím, jehož odhalení musí mnozí vykoupit svou krví.
Uprostřed konce
Libor Prudký je znám jako sociolog. Teprve v pozdním věku se začal věnovat poesii, sbírka Uprostřed konce, v pořadí třetí, je dílo vyzrálé a neobvyklé. Konečnost života, účtování, vnímání Boží přítomnosti a blízkosti smrti jsou témata, která nejenže nerezonují v soudobé české poesii ale byla vytlačena i z běžného života.
Váha ticha
V knize Váha ticha představuje Stanislav Struhar intimní a současně dramatický román, který je nejen zamyšlením nad vztahy mezi rodiči a dětmi, ale i empatickým pohledem na osudy lidí v dnešní společnosti. Svébytně lyrickým ztvárněním a nadčasovým námětem vytváří jedinečný a mimořádně působivý portrét současného Lisabonu a Toulonu. Tento impozantní Román, jenž upoutal pozornost i za hranicemi Rakouska, je zde předložen českým čtenářům ve výtečném překladu Markéty Klikové, která za překlady jeho děl byla dvakrát oceněna Překladatelskou prémií udílenou rakouským Spolkovým ministerstvem pro bydlení, umění, kulturu, média a sport.
Když Oliver přijíždí do Lisabonu navštívit svou babičku, je už dospělý muž. Ovšem jako by to bylo snad včera, kdy tu v dětství trávil dny. Vzpomíná na svého dědečka, který kdysi v Lisabonu znovu našel štěstí. S dědečkem, kterého vídeňská rodina zavrhla, Olivera spojuje nejen původ, ale také láska k literatuře, a i jemu se město otevírá se všemi svými barvami a jazyky, i on se v Lisabonu cítí jako doma. Jednoho dne potká mladou ženu, které kdysi ublížil, a jeho život nabere nečekaný zvrat.

Fear of Cold
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.

Propaganda Girls
This is the incredible untold story of four women who helped win World War II by generating a wave of black propaganda.
Betty MacDonald was a 28-year-old reporter from Hawaii.
Zuzka Lauwers grew up in a tiny Czechoslovakian village and knew five languages by the time she was 21.
Jane Smith-Hutton was the wife of a naval attaché living in Tokyo.
Marlene Dietrich, the German-American actress and singer, was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century.
These four women, each fascinating in her own right, together contributed to one of the most covert and successful military campaigns in WWII.
Members of the Office of Strategic Services, their task was to create a secret brand of propaganda produced with the sole aim to break the morale of Axis soldiers. Working in Europe, across enemy lines in occupied China and in Washington D.C., Betty, Zuzka, Jane and Marlene forged letters and 'official' military orders, wrote and produced entire newspapers, scripted radio broadcasts and songs and even developed rumours for undercover spies and double agents to spread to the enemy. And outside of a small group of spies, no one knew they existed.
Until now.

Cabin Head and Tree Head
Say HELLO to your new best friends, Cabin Head and Tree Head, in this outrageously hilarious and off-the-wall graphic novel set in a world where everyone has something on their head!
Best buddies Cabin Head and Tree Head do everything together, from getting their portraits painted (and remember, NEVER eat Taco portrait no matter how delicious it looks) to overcoming bad haircuts (apparently not everyone can cut a dolphin jumping over a wave made of stars with an octopus surfing on it eating a taco covered in planets and a tiger with a hat into a tree). What's the secret to their friendship? Let's find out Reader Heads...
A wacky, original concept, Scott Campbell's artwork combines with his unique sense of humour to create 6 stories that are full of goofy laugh-out-loud adventures and hilariously endearing characters you can't help but love. Written in an accessible and easy to read graphic novel format, this is a wonderful gateway for young readers, and perfect for those who struggle with reading.
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.

Then her grandfather dies. Grieving and adrift, Lily must confront her own questions about the culture she inherited but never fully understood. She embarks on a wryly funny, often devastating search for understanding: of herself, her family, and the meaning of home.
All over one unforgettable summer in Taipei.

The Knave and the Moon - The Stonewater Kingdom 2
Rachel Gillig, the queen of gothic romantasy, returns with higher stakes, darker mysteries and deeper longings in this gorgeous sequel to the No. 1 international bestselling sensation The Knight and the Moth. Aisling Cathedral is in ruins.
Rodrick Myndacious, Bartholomew and Maude Bauer are rumored to be dead - and the king has taken Sybil Delling as his bride. To show off their union and solidify his power over Traum, Benji proposes a series of tournaments throughout the hamlets. Captive and drugged, Sybil remains determined to vanquished him as she once did the Omens, even if she destroys the kingdom's faith - and herself - in the process.
But then a mysterious knave rises to the top of the lists, a man with no name and no memory who may just be Sybil's ticket to undoing Benji's power. For in a land where stories repeat themselves, where a king can prove as cruel as a god, the only way to truly destroy the Stonewater Kingdom's faith is to save it. Praise for The Knight and the Moth:'Dreamy prose, characters so vibrant they breathe on the page, a romance that smoulders, and a spellbinding world to get lost in.
Prepare to meet your next obsession' Rebecca Ross, author of Divine Rivals'The Knight and the Moth delivers pure joy: gargoyles! gods! girls in armour! alongside a serious examination of faith, fealty, and the powers they serve. It's a fairy tale with bruised knuckles, perfectly balanced between the mythic and the desperately human. Simply stunning' Alix E.
Analogue Africa : Notes on the Anti-Colonial Imagination
Too many of our convictions about the fifty-four nations of Africa come from non-African sources. Western media often treat the continent as a simulacrum of Western anxieties. In contrast, Jeremy Harding focuses on specific historical episodes and cultural practices - cinema, art, ethnography and journalism - to steer us away from treacherous generalisations.
Analogue Africa celebrates the ingenuity with which African artists - and a handful of Europeans - have reimagined the colonial encounter and voiced their impatience with white minority rule. Among his illustrious cast of filmmakers, photographers, writers and painters are Seydou Keita, Sanlé Sory, Ernest Cole, Sarah Maldoror, John Akomfrah, William Kentridge and Binyavanga Wainaina. Harding argues that Western museums with priceless African holdings - the British Museum, the Musée du Quai Branly, the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Belgium - are now the sites of a struggle over the colonial past, adding the latest chapter to an unfinished history.

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.
