Zkrocení psance
Na psance se dneska prostě nedá spolehnout...
Jsem Willa Scarletová a máma mě učila, abych se nikdy nespoléhala na muže. Příkladem budiž moje tajná mise, jejímž cílem bylo ochránit truhlu plnou drahocenného pokladu před princem Janem. Když mi psanci ze Sherwoodského lesa nepomůžou, jsou všechny mé pečlivě připravené plány v troskách. A za všechno může jeden urostlý, nesnesitelný zbojník, který má na mě spadeno. Muži!
Jsem Malý John, medvědí měňavec, a mohu vás ujistit, že na mně není nic malého. Navíc mám pořádnou dávku tvrdohlavosti a problém s lidmi. Se svým samotářským životem v lese jsem byl navýsost spokojen, dokud se neobjevila Willa Scarletová. Teď chci být od té jízlivé zrzky s přehnaným sebevědomím co nejdál. Čím víc, tím líp.
Společnou máme s Wilou jen jiskřivou chemii, nelítostné nepřátele a odpovědnost za poklad, který je cennější, než kdokoli z nás tuší. Než se nadějeme, jsme na útěku, uprostřed problémů a zamilovaní, i když si to ani jeden z nás nechce přiznat. Nemůžeme se však skrývat věčně a brzo musím učinit těžká rozhodnutí. Mám se řídit srdcem, nebo hlavou? A kde leží má věrnost? U Willy, nebo u měňavců ze Sherwoodského lesa?

Uměla se odevzdávat božskému tajemství i naplno prožívat vztahy k lidem kolem sebe.
I když od sepsání Knihy života uplynulo pět století, je dodnes inspirativní svým smyslem pro realitu a intimním vztahem ke Kristu. Karmelitánské nakladatelství vydává slavnou autobiografii v novém, úplném vydání a s úvodní studií karmelitána P. Pavla Poly.

Ironwood
Sworn to protect a scenic island meant to be far from the evils of the mainland, Detective Sergeant Stilwell can feel danger closing in.
Detective Sergeant Stilwell knows that his posting on Catalina Island is no paradise, but to most residents, it seems blissfully separated-by twenty-two miles of ocean-from the troubles of Los Angeles County. But now a threat is coming to his safe haven.
Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, Stilwell and his deputies watch a plane land in the middle of the night at the Airport in the Sky, a remote airstrip in the mountains. A duffel bag of drugs is dropped and the deputies move in, but things quickly go sideways.
While Stilwell chases the fleeing pickup man into the mountainside brush, shots are fired on the runway and the plane flies off.
An internal inquiry follows, putting Stilwell on the bench until he is cleared of responsibility for the disastrous operation. But he is determined to find out who brought deadly violence to his island, and begins his own secret investigation into the drug deal gone wrong.
While under orders to remain in the sheriff's substation, he finds in the lost and found a valuable backpack that was never claimed. He traces it to a woman who disappeared while hiking on the island four years ago.
But then why was the pack only turned in two months back? Now thoroughly intrigued, he follows the mystery all the way to the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit and Detective Renee Ballard.
Stilwell and Ballard work the case from both sides of the channel, and soon realize they are on the trail of a criminal who revels in taunting the authorities. Meanwhile, frustrated at being shut out of an investigation on his own island, Stilwell risks his already shaky standing in the department to pursue a case whose reach is wider than he ever imagine.

Only Rylee Gray wasn't supposed to be here. She snuck in for her own dark reasons - and now they claim they've found their perfect match. Her. Of course, they have no idea she's concealing a secret big enough to damn them all.

Liar's Kingdom
"The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, including Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.

Treasures of the Vikings
Treasures of the Vikings explores the material culture of the Viking Age, and the raiders and traders who plundered and purchased across Europe and Central Asia. From battles in Estonia in the mid 8th-century and the apocalyptic Viking attack on the monastery at Lindisfarne on the remote northeast coast of Anglo-Saxon England in 793, until the demise of Scandinavian control of Shetland in 1472, Viking groups played a central role in history, as pirates, traders and mercenaries, leaving a trail of destruction, settlements and treasure from Newfoundland to the shores of the Black Sea. In between, Vikings traded along the great rivers of Russia and Ukraine, conquered in Britain and France, settled in Iceland and Greenland, and enriched Scandinavia with loot. Marvel at a Frankish Ulfberht high-carbon steel sword, prized by Viking warriors for its strength and lightness, and see the remarkable walrus ivory and whale tooth Lewis Chess Pieces, found on the eponymous Scottish isle in the 19th century. Packed with photographs of fascinating objects and sites, Treasures of the Vikings is ideal for any enthusiast for all things Viking.

The victims—with their pale skin, black hair, and ruby-red lips—recall a nightmare Nashville suffered decades ago. The Snow White Killer slaughtered ten princess look-alikes and was never caught.

As Taylor fights to identify him before he completes his twisted homage, the investigation pulls her into a conspiracy that hits closer to home than she ever imagined. Even with her own father missing and her wedding just days away, Taylor won’t stop until she has taken down this chilling protégé. But her pursuit of justice may destroy her own fairy-tale ending.

Z Prahy do Jeruzaléma a zpět
Stát Izrael se v současnosti dostal do středu pozornosti celého světa. Je důležité porozumět jeho vnitřní členitosti a nevidět ho jako jednolité společenství. Tomu může napomoci kniha vzpomínek českého estetika Tomáše Kulky, pokrývající období od roku 1972 do roku 2000. Děj je rozdělen do sedmi částí, chronologicky mapujících klíčové historické události Izraele. Kulka přijíždí v roce 1972 do Izraele z Anglie, kam odešel z Československa v roce 1968. Kniha zachycuje války a politické zvraty – prožitek Jomkipurské války v roce 1973, kdy je Izrael nečekaně napaden Egyptem a Sýrií. Zvrat v roce 1977, kdy pravice vítězí ve volbách. Libanonskou válku v letech 1981-1982. Pozornost je věnována válce v Zálivu v roce 1991. Kniha se zabývá dynamikou izraelské společnosti, zejména rozdíly mezi Aškenázy a Sefardy. Zdůrazněn je rostoucí vliv náboženského fundamentalismu. Zobrazen je též izraelsko-palestinský konflikt a Jeruzalém. V závěru knihy je popsán krach mírových jednání v Camp Davidu a eskalace násilí v důsledku sporu o svrchovanost Jeruzaléma a Chrámové hory. Důležitou součástí knihy je popis traumatu z atentátu na Jicchaka Rabina v roce 1995. Vše je prokládáno zasvěceným rozborem místní kultury, náboženských pravidel a politických zvyklostí.

Második csillag jobbra
„Önt kedvelő táblácskáimat megpróbáltam visszavonni, sajnos nem jártam sikerrel, pedig egy úrinő semmilyen körülmények között nem tűnhet lelkesnek, csak és kizárólag ajakbiggyesztéssel nyugtázhatja egy úr igyekezetét, az ismerkedés elején legalábbis. Hogy ne legyenek indokolatlan elvárásai, elárulom, messze nem vagyok úrinő kategória, sőt.
Engem kedvelő táblácskáit hálásan köszönöm, nagyon jó vasárnap estét szerzett velük, kérem, vissza ne vonja őket. És mint láthatja, a reményt még nem adtam fel, itt vagyok. Egyébként az "úrinő" fogalom diagnosztikus értelemben teljesen bizonytalan kategória, én például a legutóbbi időkig azt a meghatározást vettem figyelembe, hogy úrinő nem fut, és ehhez képest "úriember nem tunkol.”
Hogyan találhatunk vissza önmagunkhoz, ha már túl régóta játsszuk a ránk osztott vagy épp magunkra kényszerített szerepeket?
Havas Juli új regényében bravúrosan szövi össze generációkon átívelő tablóvá egy online társkeresőn óvatosan ismerkedő, középkorú pár, egy drog- és alkoholproblémákkal küzdő fiatal ügyvéd és egy hivatása és anyasága között őrlődő neurobiológus történetét. Esendőségük ellenére – vagy éppen miatt – igazán szerethető figurái látszólag eltérő kihívások előtt állnak, ám a boldogulás érdekében mindegyiküknek szembe kell néznie a múltból magával hozott csomagjával.
A Második csillag jobbra őszinte, fájdalmasan ismerős, mégis reményteli történet hibázásról, függőségről, sorsmintákról és arról, hogy a gyógyulás és a megértés néha a legváratlanabb helyekről érkezik.
