Sad kostí
POHŘBENÉ KOSTI UKRÝVAJÍ MRAZIVÉ TAJEMSTVÍ…
V Ostravě se začnou ztrácet lidé a stopy mizí stejně rychle jako naděje detektiva Adama Richtra. Vyšetřování naráží na neviditelné zdi a podrazy z vlastních řad, Adam se ale odmítá vzdát a na vlastní pěst se noří do temného podbřišku města: zatuchlých barů, podzemních tunelů a uzavřených sektářských komunit.
Zlom přichází s archeoložkou Eleonorou Kočí. Ta v případu vidí rukopis svého otce a mocného manipulátora, jehož stín ji celý život pronásleduje. Vyšetřování je zavede až k zapomenutému masovému hrobu z druhé světové války, který dříme pod sadem Milady Horákové.
Čím hlouběji se oba nečekaní spojenci noří do tajemství pohřbených kostí, tím více se dostávají do hledáčku stoupenců sekty Eleonořina otce. Nakonec jim nepůjde jen o spravedlnost, ale o to, aby neskončili jako další bezejmenné oběti v jámě zasypané vápnem.
Ve strhujícím krimi thrilleru Martina Müllera zaznívají děsivé ozvěny ze zapomenutého koncentračního tábora Hanke. Fanoušci Larse Keplera, C. J. Tudor nebo Bernarda Miniera by neměli zůstat stranou.

The Director
From 'one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today' (Jeffrey Eugenides), a visionary tale inspired by the life of the 20th century film director G.W. Pabst, who left Europe for Hollywood to resist the Nazis and then returned to his homeland with his wife and young son and began making films for the German Reich.
An artist's life, a pact with the devil, a novel about the dangerous illusions of the silver screen.
G.W. Pabst, one of cinema's greatest, perhaps the greatest director of his era: when the Nazis seized power he was filming in France, to escape the horrors of the new Germany he flees to Hollywood. But under the blinding California sun, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. Not even Greta Garbo, who he made famous, can help him. And thus, almost through no fault of his own, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria, which is now called Ostmark. The returning family is confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. But Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in Berlin, wants the film genius, he won't take no for an answer and makes big promises. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement.
Daniel Kehlmann's novel about art and power, beauty and barbarism is a triumph. The Director shows what literature is capable of.
Broken Dove
LINES WILL BE CROSSED.
After blowing her cover as a double agent within Silver Elite and fleeing the Prime-controlled capital, Wren Darlington is finally safe behind allied lines. As her lover and former commander Cross Redden works to disrupt the Primes from inside their ranks, Wren turns her focus toward assisting the Uprising in overthrowing their rule once and for all.
LOYALTIES WILL BE TESTED.
But though she's back among her own people, trust is hard-won and hidden agendas abound on the Mod base. And beyond those walls, Wren can't help but worry that Cross is keeping secrets of his own... secrets that could jeopardise everything. Complicating matters even further is her shocking reunion with hotshot fighter pilot and undercover operative, Grayson Blake. Once her closest friend in Silver Elite, Gray seems to understand Wren on a level she never thought possible.
AND THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF THE CONTINENT IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING.
With the war between Mods and Primes growing more brutal by the day, and with her own role in the conflict becoming more essential than ever, Wren must confront some gut-wrenching questions. Who is she fighting for... and who is she willing to lose?
Krádež
Abdulrazak Gurnah nám ve svém nejnovějším románu, prvním od chvíle, kdy v roce 2021 získal Nobelovu cenu za literaturu, předkládá subtilní příběh o dospívání, vině, touze a hledání vlastní identity ve světě poznamenaném koloniální minulostí.
S empatií a vypravěčskou jistotou sleduje autor osudy tří hlavních postav, jejichž životy se protínají v prostředí, kde osobní rozhodnutí nikdy nejsou zcela oddělena od širších historických a společenských vlivů. Gurnah rozplétá jejich vztahy s trpělivostí a citem pro detail, přičemž postupně odhaluje skryté motivace, zklamání i naděje.
Krádež je zároveň intimním příběhem dospívání i široce pojatým obrazem postkoloniální reality - světa, v němž se minulost neustále vrací a ovlivňuje přítomnost. V závěru, plném napětí a katarze, se jednotlivé dějové linie propojují v překvapivé, a přitom nevyhnutelné rozuzlení.
Gurnahův román je výjimečný svou schopností probouzet porozumění: nenápadně, ale vytrvale nás vede k tomu, abychom méně soudili a více chápali - druhé i sami sebe.
Román Theft představuje návrat autora do rodné Tanzanie a navazuje na témata, která charakterizují jeho dosavadní tvorbu - otázku identity, vykořenění, sociální nerovnosti a vztahu mezi Afrikou a Evropou v globalizovaném světě.

The magic of creativit? oe can’t know; all he wants to do is draw comics and listen to music. Then one day, after climbing up to the ancient tower on Brendle hill, he meets an old writer of pulp SF books who is determined to pass on the power and joy of telling stories.

Decades later Joe is a successful SF novelist, and the time has come to tell his story, not only of how he became a writer but also how the secrets of the dust were revealed to him, one grain at a time.
Roger Fry
Roger Fry (1866–1934) and his role as critic, curator and member of the Bloomsbury Group are explored in this rich and vibrant biography.Roger Fry (1866–1934) and his role as critic, curator and member of the Bloomsbury Group are explored in this rich and vibrant biography. From his curation of one of the most important collections in New York and groundbreaking exhibitions in London, to his launch of the Omega Workshops with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Fry introduced post-impressionism, radicalized interiors and changed the landscape of 20th-century art. His introduction of Cézanne, Van Gogh and Matisse to the British audience played a significant role in a legacy that still inspires today. Often overlooked, Fry was one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art in Britain, giving a generation of modern British artists their first exhibitions, while also creating art himself. Roger Fry: Bloomsbury and the Invention of Modern Art offers a compelling portrait of his extraordinary career and his pivotal role in redefining British art.

Capitalism and Its Critics
A sweeping history of capitalism as seen through the eyes of its fiercest critics
At a time when we are faced with fundamental questions about the sustainability and morality of the economic system, Capitalism and Its Critics provides a kaleidoscopic history of global capitalism, from colonialism and the Industrial Revolution to the ecological crisis and artificial intelligence.
John Cassidy adopts a bold new approach: he tells the story through the eyes of the system's critics. From eighteenth-century weavers who rebelled against early factory automation to Eric Williams's paradigm-changing work on slavery and capitalism, to the Latin American dependistas, the international Wages for Housework campaign of the 1970s, and the modern degrowth movement, this absorbing narrative traverses the globe. It looks at familiar figures - Smith, Marx, Luxemburg, Keynes, Polanyi - from a fresh perspective, but also focuses on many less familiar, including William Thompson, the Irish proto-socialist whose work influenced Marx; Flora Tristan, the French proponent of a universal labour union; John Hobson, the original theorist of imperialism; and J. C. Kumarappa, the Indian exponent of Gandhian economics.
Blending biography, panoramic history, and lively exploration of economic theories, Capitalism and Its Critics illuminates the deep roots of many of the most urgent issues of our time.
