Young Once
Aged twenty-five, dressed as Che Guevara, Nigel Planer answers an ad for a room and his life changes for ever. Both a memoir and a love story, Young Once follows his journey, from bell-ringer to gravedigger, from university dropout to long-term patient of the Hospital for Tropical Diseases and all the other bizarre events that shape him, until the day he meets Alexei Sayle, Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson in a former strip club and the 1980s Comedy Revolution is born . . . Often mistaken (even by his mother) for Neil, the hippy character he creates, by 1986 Nigel has become so well-known he often has to leave the house via the kitchen window. It's lucky that he has always had a talent for seeing the funny side of things: whether it's dealing with 20-foot-éclair-related injuries or being cajoled into Band Aid by Bob Geldof; gatecrashing a rave with Robin Williams or crashing into the set on Top of the Pops; becoming a grandfather at twenty-nine or being rescued from disaster by musical theatre. Against a backdrop of squats, Glastonbury and roller discos, with a supporting cast that includes Lemmy, a stony-faced Robert de Niro and French and Saunders, Young Once is a wildly entertaining and gloriously sideways glimpse into a remarkable life and career. It's also an object lesson in why you should never give up looking for your Happy Ever After. It might well turn out to be right in front of you.

Zápisky z vězení
Bestseller bývalého francouzského prezidenta a jednoho z nejmocnějších mužů světa, jehož zatčení vzbudilo mezinárodní rozruch a přepsalo dějiny
„Ve vězení není co vidět ani co dělat. Slyšet lze naopak mnoho, neboť ticho ve věznici La Santé neexistuje. Hluk je tam pohříchu neustálý. Ve vězení stejně jako na poušti sílí vnitřní život.“
Bývalý francouzský prezident Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012) byl na podzim roku 2025 odsouzen za zločinné spolčení k pěti letům vězení. Údajně totiž nepřímo oslovil osoby blízké libyjskému diktátorovi Muammaru Kaddáfímu a dohodl se s nimi na financování své prezidentské kampaně, což ale vždy důrazně popíral. Poprvé v historii Evropské unie se hlava členského státu ocitla za mřížemi. I přes odvolání ve vězení strávil tři týdny a během nich psal.
Ve svých zápiscích popisuje detaily pobytu v pařížské věznici La Santé, kde byl kdysi vězněn i generál Alfred Dreyfus. Vrací se k procesu, který uvěznění předcházel, i k nedávným rozhovorům s prezidentem Emmanuelem Macronem, s Marine Le Penovou a s dalšími současnými politickými představiteli Francie. Zamýšlí se nad svou politickou kariérou, dnešním stavem francouzské politiky i justice, jež jej podle jeho názoru soudí nikoli „za to, co udělal, ale za to, kým je“.

The Warrior
An intimate, original biography of tennis legend Rafael Nadal, and the first to cover his entire career.
After his award-winning look at Roger Federer, Christopher Clarey, one of the world's pre-eminent tennis writers, focuses his lens on Nadal, the Spanish force of nature. When he arrived on the scene in 2005, the record for men's singles titles at the French Open stood at six. Nadal more than doubled that total to a mind-blowing fourteen titles: one of the greatest sporting achievements in history.
Nadal won big and won often on all of tennis's surfaces: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and six on the US Open and Australian Open hard courts. But clay, the grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all came together best for his whipping forehand and warrior mindset.
Clarey, who has covered Nadal since he was seventeen, draws on interviews over twenty years with Nadal, his team and rivals like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Brimming with behind-the-scenes insight, The Warrior tells the story of a global sporting icon, interlacing man and place in a unique, must-read account of the evolution of excellence.
Dope
As human beings, were fascinated by elite human performance. And if it derives from nefarious means? Arguably thats even more alluring - just look at the Enhanced Games, the sporting free-for-all where doping is allowed that will take place in 2026. The lengths athletes, and their support teams, go to in search of peak performance is unsettling, dangerous and captivating.
Just as intriguing is how the anti-doping authorities combat, or attempt to combat, the cheats. Blood tests, urine tests, examination of fitness data, monitoring social media a la Big Brother in an effort to determine where the athletes training. Is it in a country that doesnt have an accredited testing lab nearby? The alarm bells ring.
Its good versus evil, but whos winning?
Through the lens of case studies through the history of doping in sport, Dope! examines the landscape of sport and doping in the modern era. It uncovers the common methods of cheating and what tricks the authorities have up their sleeves to identify and catch those who cross the line.
This is an eye-opening and enthralling account of modern day sport - one which will change the way you view it forever.
