Mesačné vlky 3: Posledný boj
Vzrušujúci záver príbehu nezlomného vlka Tamaniho
Od chvíle, keď sa vlkom z ľadovej svorky podarilo zahnať svorku temnoty z rodnej jaskyne, visí nad nimi hrozba jej návratu s hordou krvilačných bojovníkov. Tamani vie, že jediná šanca ubrániť sa pred nimi je spojenectvo so svorkami pri Veľkom fjorde. Stojí pred najväčšou úlohou svojho života: presvedčiť ich, aby sa vzopreli tradícii a bok po boku bojovali za budúcnosť svojich potomkov.

Čísla neklamú
Mali by ste veriť číslam o nezamestnanosti? Je vzostup Číny nezastaviteľný? A čo je horšie pre životné prostredie: vaše auto alebo mobilný telefón? To je len niekoľko z otázok, ktoré si profesor Václav Smil kladie v knihe, ktorá prináša úžasnú zmes vedy a histórie.
Autor preberá množstvo tém, od národov a obyvateľov Zeme cez palivá a potraviny, ktoré im dodávajú energiu, až po dopravu a vynálezy nášho moderného sveta – a ako to všetko vplýva na samotnú planétu. V knihe Čísla neklamú nás vezme na dobrodružnú cestu za faktami, pričom pomocou prekvapivých štatistík a poučných grafov spochybňuje povrchné myslenie.
Bez náznaku pesimizmu či optimizmu a bez strachu z veľkých otázok Smil vysvetľuje, prečo sú výzvy na vyhlásenie antropocénu možno predčasné, alebo prečo klimatické dohody nezachádzajú dostatočne ďaleko. Tieto otázky nie sú jednoznačné a pokrok trvá dlhšie, než by ste si mysleli, ale so Smilom ako našim autoritatívnym a zábavným sprievodcom dostávame zdravú dávku realizmu.

Svätyne, 2. vydanie
Román Svätyne je o stigmatizácii neplodnosti, o všeobecne akceptovanom násilí na ženách, o rodičovstve a v neposlednom rade aj o smrti. Dej je zasadený do sedemnásteho storočia, ale téma je, žiaľ, vysoko aktuálna aj v tomto storočí, dokonca na Slovensku aj v posledných dňoch. Pokiaľ by autorka neprezradila pár historických súvislostí, príbeh by vo svojej magickosti mohol fungovať aj v bezčasí, na bližšie neurčenom mieste. (Katarína Vargová)
„Ako prvý vás upúta jazyk... Vety a ich skladba majú u Dominiky Madro výrazný rytmus i melodiku. Keď píše, akoby spievala – variuje motívy, využíva silné repetície, mohutné akordy sa v ostrom kontraste striedajú s pokojnejšími lyrickými pasážami. Jazyk ovláda celú knihu a v tomto prípade nie je len prostriedkom, ale ozajstným stavebným materiálom, ktorý nechce byť (a ani nie je) len efektným ornamentom. Autorka slovám verí, verí jazyku, spolieha sa na jeho silu a to všetko prepája očarujúcou obraznosťou.“ (Ján Púček)
„Svätyne sú výrazne špecifickou, baladickou (preto i tragickou) prózou, v ktorej hlasy dvoch ženských postáv (Rodany a Višniačky) dopĺňa Rodanin osudový muž Jašek. Sú príbehom z iného, no aj z nášho sveta, netriviálnym rozprávaním o ne/vere, sexualite, láske a ne/plodnosti, o živote a jeho konci, ktorý môže byť novým začiatkom, zmŕtvychvstaním.“ (Marta Součková)
„Ilustrácie a obálku mala na starosti Lina Šuková a príbeh nádherne dotvárajú. Subtílnosť a geometrická pravidelnosť ornamentov korešponduje s jemnosťou, ale neúprosnosťou písania Dominiky Madro. Svätyne sú presne takým literárnym počinom: neúprosným, na súčasnej slovenskej literárnej scéne neprehliadnuteľným“ (Jaroslava Šaková)
Fury Bound
CROWNED BY DESTINY. CONSUMED BY VENGEANCE.
Against all odds, Meryn Cooper has inherited the crown - and a deadly war. As the Kingdom of Nocturna splinters under the weight of generations of lies, it is up to Meryn, her bonded direwolf Anassa and their allies to bring the country back from the brink.
But the commoners, the Bonded and the nobles are distrustful of their new queen and Meryn is caught in a deadly game of politics. Meanwhile, Meryn's beloved sister, Saela, is more at risk than ever.
Confusingly, the one person Meryn can trust is Stark Therion - the dark, dangerous Alpha she thought hated her as much as she loathed him. Yet, his loyalty is unshakeable. His presence intoxicating. And with his guidance, Meryn can seize an unthinkable level of power.
With enemies closing in and shadows stirring her dreams, Meryn stands to lose her kingdom - and her heart.
Blood will spill. Bonds will break. Fate will be tested.
The Library of Flowers
Rooted in memory and steeped in magic, The Library of Flowers is a radiant exploration of family, identity, and the expectations we inherit, perfect for anyone who has ever carried the weight of a legacy-and dared to make it their own.
For centuries, the Hua women have held sway over the courts of emperors and billionaires with their magical perfumes able to stir hearts and ensure fortunes. And in every fifth generation, an eldest daughter is born with the rarest gift of all: the ability to summon true love.
As a long-awaited fifth daughter, Lucy was supposed to be the miracle her exacting mother had been waiting for. But when her magic failed, Lucy fled Vancouver, her legacy, and the expectations that had nearly broken her. Now, years later, she runs a tiny perfume shop tucked away in Toronto's Kensington Market-crafting beautiful, perfectly ordinary scents and keeping her extraordinary past firmly behind her. That is, until a death in the family brings her home...and saddles her with an unwelcome inheritance: the centuries-old Hua family register, brimming with secrets, formulas, and forgotten truths.
As Lucy unravels the stories of the women who came before her-including the mother whose complicated heart she never could understand-she must confront the tangled threads of love, power, and identity...and ask herself whether her magic was ever truly gone, or simply waiting for her to decide for herself what it means to be a daughter of the House of Hua.
Who is Government?
Who works for the government and why does their work matter? Michael Lewis, bestselling author of The Big Short and The Fifth Risk, along with an all-star team of writers and storytellers, takes us on a riveting journey into a hidden world'A timely reminder of the quiet dedication and skill of the people who work every day to make this country work' - Barack Obama, President Obama's 2025 Summer ReadsThe government is a vast, complex system that citizens pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It’s also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it’s made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favourite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them. The stories they found are unexpected, riveting, and inspiring, including a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving thousands of lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the essential behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees. Whether they’re digitizing archives, chasing down cybercriminals, or discovering new planets, these public servants are committed to their work and universally reluctant to take credit. Who is Government? shows how the essential business of government makes our lives possible, and how much it matters.
Dekonstructing the Kardashians
From the creator of the viral Kardashian Kolloquium comes a New Media manifesto for the TikTok age - blending theory, cultural analysis and history to explain the meteoric rise of the Kardashians and what their fame reveals about how media functions today. Since 2007, Kim Kardashian and her extended family have mesmerised - and scandalised - the American public. We've been immersed in their social lives, controversies and reality TV exploits, while witnessing the staggering ascent of their multibillion-dollar fashion, beauty and media empire. But the central question remains: why are the Kardashians so famous? And what does their enduring relevance tell us about the media systems that shaped - and were shaped by - the? n Dekonstructing the Kardashians, MJ Corey, creator of the viral social platform Kardashian Kolloquium, delivers more than just the definitive cultural chronicle of the First Family of reality TV. She offers a probing exploration of how media has evolved in the internet age -and how it's reshaping our identities, our attention, and our understanding of reality itself. Part media theory, part cultural critique and part historical deep-dive, Dekonstructing the Kardashians weaves together fifty years of Western media history. Corey shows that the Kardashians aren't just celebrities - they're a mirror of our media moment, offering a key to understanding fame, identity and reality in the digital age.
The Solidarity Economy
The untold story of the role of humanitarian NGOs in building the neoliberal order after empireAfter India gained independence in 1947, Britain reinvented its role in the global economy through nongovernmental aid organizations. Utilizing existing imperial networks and colonial bureaucracy, the nonprofit sector sought an ethical capitalism, one that would equalize relationships between British consumers and Third World producers as the age of empire was ending. The Solidarity Economy examines the role of nonstate actors in the major transformations of the world economy in the postwar era, showing how British NGOs charted a path to neoliberalism in their pursuit of ethical markets. Between the 1950s and 1990s, nonprofits sought to establish an alternative to Keynesianism through their welfare and development programs. Encouraging the fair trade of commodities and goods through microfinance, consumer boycotts, and corporate social responsibility, these programs emphasized decentralization, privatization, and entrepreneurship. Tehila Sasson tells the stories of the activists, economists, politicians, and businessmen who reimagined the marketplace as a workshop for global reform. She reveals how their ideas, though commonly associated with conservative neoliberal policies, were part of a nonprofit-driven endeavor by the liberal left to envision markets as autonomous and humanizing spaces, facilitating ethical relationships beyond the impersonal realm of the state. Drawing on dozens of newly available repositories from nongovernmental, international, national, and business archives, The Solidarity Economy reconstructs the political economy of these markets—from handicrafts and sugar to tea and coffee—shedding critical light on the postimperial origins of neoliberalism.

The Confession Artist
A Montana ex-cop becomes the target of a vengeful killer’s viral guessing game in a propulsive novel of suspense by a bestselling and award-winning author. A killer dubbed the Confession Artist is posting sketches of potential victims on social media. And paranoia spreads as strangers across the nation admit to their sins—fearing the consequences: You have six days to confess or die. Then former cop and first-year PI Crosbie Mitchell sees a sketch that bears a striking resemblance to her. How can that be? She’s a nobody from Flathead Valley, Montana. Crosbie dismisses it as an unnerving coincidence. If not for one unmistakable detail that makes the threat hard to ignore. When the FBI is contacted, they are convinced that Crosbie is the next target. So is she. Crosbie has six days left to fess up online to something plaguing her conscience. But even if she wanted to play the killer’s game, she has more than one secret. And if she ever dares to expose them for the world to see, the truth will destroy her. That’s exactly what the Confession Artist wants.
Stuck
Why fifty years of changemaking and reform haven't fixed Congress—and what that reveals about American democracy. Congress, the central democratic institution in the United States, is hanging on by a thread. On January 6, 2021, a violent attack on the Capitol Building left five people dead, and threats and attacks against politicians are on the rise. In Stuck, Maya Kornberg chronicles the efforts of congressional reformers over the last fifty years and documents the mounting forces that have kept their reforms from creating meaningful change. The "Watergate babies" of 1974, the Contract with America conservatives of 1994, and the historic 2018 class fueled by backlash to Donald Trump all represent younger, more diverse, and less entrenched members who arrived in Washington energized and idealistic. Kornberg reveals the ways Congress has become increasingly inhospitable to change. Political violence, astronomical campaign costs, relentless fundraising demands, shrinking staff, and centralized party leadership all constrain the ability of new members to legislate and represent their constituents. Social media, while offering new platforms for political expression, has also heightened harassment and fed a performative culture that rewards spectacle over substance. Bolstered by dozens of interviews, congressional records, and the voices of lawmakers past and present—including Henry Waxman, Toby Moffett, Phil English, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Lauren Underwood—Stuck offers a sobering portrait of a legislative body paralyzed by its own internal dynamics. Kornberg outlines tangible reforms that could restore Congress's capacity to function and amplify the power of its newest members. At a time when Americans are losing faith in democracy's most representative institution, Stuck makes the case for how it could be saved.

Volám sa Adam Harper a bol som vrah
Adam Harper, kedysi túlavý nomád, žije dnes bežným životom, ku ktorému patrí stále zamestnanie, rutinné činnosti, koníčky a priatelia, s ktorými raz za čas vyrazí za zábavou. Háčik je však v tom, že to všetko je len súčasťou toho, čo Adam nazýva maskou človeka. V skutočnosti, aj keď dokáže veľmi dobre predstierať emócie, nič necíti. Má rád hudbu, filmy, knihy, šport, a dokonca aj svoje povolanie kuchára. Nedokáže sa však emocionálne viazať na živé bytosti.
Ale to je len prvá časť tajomstva, ktorú maska človeka ukrýva.
Adam je v skutočnosti sériový vrah, a práve teraz zostávajú už len dva dni do chvíle, keď plánuje opäť zabiť.
Lenže keď v dôsledku neočakávaných zvratov zachráni život práve tej, ktorá mala byť jeho obeťou, Adamove zaužívané vzorce sa rúcajú a jeho život mení k nepoznaniu. Zisťuje napríklad, že nie je jediný, kto má tajomstvá, a taktiež, že možno nie je taký vyprahnutý, ako si vždy myslel. Do toho všetkého sa priplieta tajomná osoba z Adamovho susedstva, na ktorú z nejakého dôvodu maska človeka takmer vôbec nezaberá. Navyše je tu Claudia. Mladá žena, ktorá mala byť pôvodne jeho obeťou. Avšak teraz sa stáva osobou, s ktorou sa Adam začne zbližovať viac, než si myslel, že je pre neho možné.
