Loved One
'For years I'd known exactly who I was to Gabe. It was a long story but I could tell it confidently, like a bartender sharing a recipe for her signature cocktail. Now things were so jumbled, I didn't know where to begin…'
When Julia's first-love-turned-close-friend Gabe, a successful indie musician, dies unexpectedly aged 29, Julia is launched into an intercontinental quest to recover the possessions he left with friends and acquaintances across the world.
The search for these items leads Julia to Elizabeth, the last woman Gabe loved, in an interaction that leaves Julia with more questions than answers. Both women, it turns out, have something to hide, and soon find themselves engaged in a complex dance of withholding and revelation.
Together, the two must reconcile their conflicting memories of Gabe and who he was to each of them…and who they now are to each other.
From the Emmy Award-winning writer behind Hacks and Parks and Recreation,?Loved One is a wise, witty and profoundly moving coming-of-age story with a powerful love at its heart, set to become an instant classic.
Little Blue Dot
In this thrilling and utterly unique work of narrative non-fiction, Katherine Dunn explores the acute vulnerability of the GPS satellite system - in a book that lifts the lid on the invisible connections of the globe, from the space race to the phone in our pockets
This is the story of the Global Positioning System, the network of U.S. government satellites that encircle the earth: a vast web that, in a matter of decades, has transformed the way we understand space and time, making us critically dependent on vulnerable technology we often forget is even there.
It is a system that was conceived of as a military product designed for war, but which has since evolved into a vital everyday tool that tells us where we are and when at any given point. But its use doesn't stop there: GPS has transformed our navigation systems and our global trade, our farms and our supermarkets, our stop lights, banking networks, and our energy systems. It overturned online dating, exercise regimens, travel planning and takeaways. It reshaped our daily lives, and then it transformed us. When GPS took away our familiarity with getting lost, it also stripped us of our ability to hide - turning our place in the world into a mappable, knowable entity, and put us, a blinking blue dot on a screen, at its centre.
In this thrilling, page-turning work of narrative non-fiction that touches on tech, geopolitics, international relations and economics - Katherine Dunn explores the acute vulnerability of an essential global system that touches all our lives. With echoes of Kleptopia, The Fifth Risk and Prisoners of Geography, as well as echoes of Islands of Abandonment by Cal Flynn and Entangled Life by Merlion Sheldrake in the way it exposes a hidden, esoteric system that we all rely on - this is a book that lifts the lid on the invisible connections of the globe, from the space race to the phone in our pockets.

A Dance of Serpents
Diana has claimed her birthright as Princess of Hell, Lady of Daemons and Chosen of Darkness Incarnate. But she can't forget the wrongs she suffered. The cruelties inflicted on her, as well as her family, friends, and subjects in the wars past. Cruelty from the gods, and the reigning Divine King who wrote the very myths that vilified her people.
Her powers have grown beyond anyone's expectations, though they come with a cost. And the price might be more than Diana is willing to pay.
Armed to the fangs with allies, the future is bright, and justice finally within reach. The line between justice and revenge is faint, blurred, and slippery. In attempting to punish the wicked, will she keep true to herself, or become the very creature her enemies fear her to be?
The sequel to the acclaimed dark romantic fantasy A CURSE OF CROWS, Lauren Dedroog's A DANCE OF SERPENTS continues the epic tale of the wars between gods, men and daemons, and the woman at the centre of it all, whose suffering and rise to power will change the world forever . . . for good, or evil.
Wreckers
Wreckers sinks the old narratives of imperialism, revealing the violent, chaotic and improvised reality of empire-building from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries.
While figures such as Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan are celebrated for their maritime achievements - reaching the Americas, India, and circumnavigating the globe - focusing solely on these voyages distorts our perspective on the past. Many explorers ended up as castaways, clinging to the splintered timbers of their wrecked ships, while those who survived often faced resistance and ridicule from indigenous communities across the globe.
Drawing on maritime stories from various languages and continents - from Brazil and Southeast Africa to India and the Philippines - Wreckers shares dramatic tales of the sea and the events on land that followed. This offers an alternative timeline for the century after Columbus' 1492 voyage and sheds light on the fractures and fault lines that accompanied the increasing geographical range of European ships.
Simon Park argues that even when Europeans arrogantly claimed their own superiority, the truth was that they were often driven by a profound sense of greed and envy, and their actions included numerous mishaps. For example, in his hunt for gold, Martin Frobisher - who fancied himself England's Columbus and Cortés combined - transported worthless rocks across the Atlantic by the tonne. In the search for spices, Captain and profiteer Manuel de Sousa de Sepúlveda's ship was so overladen, it spewed its fragrant cargo when it crashed off the coast of South Africa. Moreover, in every place they went, Europeans depended on local know-how and goodwill - relying on indigenous knowledge of languages, geography, food and medicines.
Wreckers reveals the precarious balance between imperious European powers, cunning locals who colluded to further their own agendas, and others who showed great tenacity in their resistance to European incursions. By focusing on stories of failure, defiance and comeuppance, Wreckers - a term Park uses to refer both to those who were wrecked and those involved in wrecking - offers a gripping and original account of a tumultuous period. It challenges the notion of unstoppable European dominance and enables a reimagining of history as a space of possibilities then, now and in the future.
The Age of Extraction
The pre-eminent exponent of anti-monopoly law explains why we have no option but to break Big Tech's monopolies, and that doing so would unleash innovation and growth.
Today's dominant tech platforms - the places where we exchange information and buy things online - could be the most powerful engines of prosperity ever invented. Instead, they are the most effective instruments of wealth extraction ever created and a grave threat to our societies.
Here the pre-eminent exponent of anti-monopoly law Tim Wu, who coined the phrase 'net neutrality', explains why breaking Big Tech's monopolies would unleash innovation and growth and is essential if we are to avoid further social division. In their place he sets out the five key ways in which future platforms should be managed to harness the extraordinary potential of these essential technologies and to help build the balanced economies we so badly need.
The Secret of Secrets
The long-awaited new race-against-time thriller from the global bestselling author of The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Far from home and out of his comfort zone, Langdon must pit his wits against forces unknown to recover the woman he loves.
But Prague is an old and dangerous place, steeped in folklore and mystery. Little can Langdon know that he is being stalked by a spectre from that dark past. He must use all of his arcane knowledge to navigate a shadow city hiding in plain sight, a city which has successfully kept its secrets for centuries and will not readily give them up.
The Secret Of Secrets is Dan Brown's first novel for over eight years and sees the stunning return of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time pitting his wits against a conspiracy which will test even his considerable brainpower and take him to the edge of losing all that he holds dear…

Az olasz nagyik nem tévednek
A jó olasz konyha nem varázslat, és nem is pusztán nosztalgia. A tökéletes tészta, a lassan sűrűsödő bolognai, az olívaolaj és paradicsom magától értetődő párosa mögött évszázadok alatt felhalmozódott tudás rejtőzik – olyan tudás, amelyet ma már a tudomány is kezd megérteni. Miért kell pihentetni a fokhagymát? Mi történik a rizottóban keverés közben? Mitől más biokémiailag egy valóban jó tészta, mint az iparilag előállított, és hogyan lehetséges, hogy egy szicíliai nagymama generációk óta, ösztönösen csinálja azt, aminek a biokémiai magyarázatára csak az utóbbi évtizedekben jöttek rá?
Ez a könyv a mediterrán konyha legismertebb fogásait egyszerre nézi a gasztronómia és a kémia szemüvegén keresztül. Nem diétás könyv és nem klasszikus szakácskönyv, hanem izgalmas utazás az ízek, a hagyomány és a tudomány világában. Feltárja, mi zajlik valójában a tésztafőző vízben, a pizzakemencében vagy egy négy órán át rotyogó szósz mélyén. A tejszín nélküli krémes szósztól az igazi ízbomba gelatóig, a néhány összetevős tésztától a kovászos kenyérig minden fejezet egy régi konyhai bölcsességet vizsgál meg, és megmutatja, mitől működik.
Mert a mediterrán étrend nem trend, hanem az az étkezési minta, amelynek egészségvédő hatásait a világ legjobb vizsgálatai újra és újra igazolják. Ez a könyv pedig nem egyszerűen azt mondja el, mit érdemes enni, és azt hogyan kell elkészíteni, hanem azt is, hogy miért. Ha eddig azért szeretted az olasz konyhát, mert finom, ezután talán azért is fogod szeretni, mert érted.
Lékařem v zemi spícího krokodýla
Ondřej Šimetka se mezi lety 1999–2019 pětkrát vracel do Východního Timoru. Celkem zde strávil více než tři roky života. Přijel do země zničené konfliktem a chudobou, kde mezi běžné diagnózy patřily podvýživa, malárie, dengue a panovala tu nejvyšší mateřská úmrtnost v Asii. Novorozenecký život byl spíš otázkou štěstí než medicíny. Byl svědkem budování nové země doslova z popela.
Pracoval jako tropický lékař, porodník, školitel porodních asistentek i lékařů. Po dvaceti letech se stal svědkem mimořádné proměny: poklesu mateřské úmrtnosti o více než 75?%, vymýcení malárie i spalniček a návratu naděje do míst, kde dříve chybělo téměř vše – kromě lidské síly přežít.
Po celou dobu si psal deníky, příběhy a postřehy z každodenní praxe. V této knize je sdílí s nadhledem, humorem i pokorou – skrze silné osudy pacientek, absurdní situace v tropickém zdravotnictví i drobné momenty, které rozhodují o životě a smrti. Text doplňuje historickými a kulturními souvislostmi, které dávají těmto příběhům hlubší smysl.
Bager a deň na stavbe
Leporelo s výrezmi v tvare bagra. Otáčaj stránky a sleduj, ako káčatko a jeho kamaráti stavajú detské ihrisko. Uži si s nimi deň plný práce a zábavy na stavbe.
Dubliners
James Joyce's earliest major work, written when he was only twenty-five, brought his city to the world for the first time. The stories within Dubliners are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. Joyce writes of social decline, sexual desire and exploitation, corruption and personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world and human experience.
'Joyce redeems his Dubliners, assures their identity, and makes their social existence appear permanent and immortal, like the streets they walk' Tom Paulin
With a new introduction and notes by Anne Fogarty.

The Penguin Book of the International Short Story
The best in short fiction from around the world, from celebrated anthologist and author John Freeman and award-winning novelist Rabih Alameddine
In The Penguin Book of the International Short Story, writers from different nations, languages and sensibilities come together in a globe-spanning and long overdue tour of modern fiction. In 'Super-Frog Saves Tokyo', Haruki Murakami presents a man who believes a giant amphibian is enlisting him to protect his city from an impending earthquake. In 'War of the Clowns', Mozambique's Mia Couto sketches a perfect allegory for our divided culture. In the predecessor story to her iconic novel The Vegetarian, Han Kang depicts a protagonist quietly undergoing an unlikely transformation in a high-rise in Seoul. A Colm Tóibin character thinks, 'I do not even believe in Ireland', while Carol Bensimon reflects from Brazil, 'All great ideas seem like bad ones at some point'. Salman Rushdie brings us to unsettled rural India, Olga Tokarczuk to a circus exhibit, Abdellah Taia to the queer Arab world, Ted Chiang to a far-off galaxy.
For a long time, it was the norm for three quarters of the stories in international anthologies to be American or English. In this collection, the work of thoughtful and accomplished translators opens the door wide for those curious about what lies beyond the Western canon and classroom. Writers from six continents, ranging from new voices to literary icons, each offer a window into a distinct point of view, both transcending and illuminating their place of origin. They offer not only captivating prose, but a reminder of the power of the imagination across space and time.
Jethro Tull - M.U. - The Best Of Jethro Tull LP
Britská rocková skupina založená v roce 1967 v Blackpoolu, jejíž vůdčí osobností je charismatický multiinstrumentalista Ian Anderson, proslulý zejména hrou na flétnu a osobitým vokálním projevem. Kapela je známá originálním spojením rocku, folku, blues i prvků klasické hudby, což dalo vzniknout nezaměnitelnému progresivnímu zvuku, který ovlivnil celé generace hudebníků. Jethro Tull se proslavili nejen složitými kompozicemi a hlubokými texty, ale také ikonickými alby jako „Aqualung“, „Thick as a Brick“ nebo „Stand Up“, přičemž během své kariéry prodali přes 60 milionů desek a získali řadu ocenění včetně Grammy.
Vinylová reedice prvního výběrového alba britské rockové skupiny Jethro Tull. Poprvé deska vyšla v roce 1976 a nabízí dokonalou vstupní bránu do zlaté éry této britské progresivní legendy. Kompilace shrnuje zásadní milníky z nejúspěšnějšího období let 1969 až 1975 v čele s nesmrtelnými hymnami jako „Aqualung“, „Locomotive Breath“ či upravenou verzí eposu „Thick as a Brick“. Pro sběratele disk navíc ukrývá tehdy exkluzivní skladbu „Rainbow Blues“. Tento esenciální průřez mistrovsky demonstruje genialitu flétny Iana Andersona a jedinečné propojení folku, klasiky a hardrockových riffů.

Rozprávky z čarovného lesa na dobrú noc
Kto vymyslí najkrajší darček pre starého otca myšiaka?
Ako môže z malého semienka vyrásť velikánsky strom?
S kým bude veverička Chocholka obdivovať čaro hviezdnej oblohy?
Pri čítaní rozprávok o zvieratkách môžeme každý deň žasnúť nad zázrakmi
prírody.
Ezopove bájky 1.
V hlbokom čarovnom lese, kde každá lúka a každý potôčik žije svojím životom, získajú zvieratká nezabudnuteľné skúsenosti.
Prečítali sme si rozprávanie o zajkovi Majkovi a korytnačke Želke a o mravcovi Ferkovi a svrčkovi Cyrilovi.
Od Majka a Želky sa naučíme, že rýchlosť a chválenkárstvo nie je vždy zárukou úspechu. Skutočné víťazstvo nik nedosiahne len preto, že je rýchly, ale preto, že je rozvážny a vytrvalý. Želka nám pripomína, že dôležitý je každý krok, aj ten naj-menší, len sa nesmieme vzdať svojho cieľa.
Z rozprávania o rýchlom zajkovi Majkovi sa naučíme, že úcta k druhým a pokora sú dôležitejšie ako vlastný talent.
Ferko a Cyril nám ukážu, že treba vždy myslieť na budúcnosť, ale rovnako dôležitý je aj súcit. Mravec Ferko nám pripomenie, aké dôležité je plánovanie a gazdova-nie. Svrček Cyril na vlastnej koži pocíti dôsledky bezstarostnosti, poučí sa a dosta-ne druhú šancu žiť múdrejšie. Jeho príbeh je dôkazom, že zmeniť sa môže aj ten, kto zlyhal, a to aj vďaka láskavému srdcu priateľa.
Tieto príbehy, staré ako les, nám pripomenú staré múdrosti: Dôležitá je vytrvalosť v cieľoch, múdrosť vo svojich prípravách, no netreba zabúdať na silu priateľstva, súcit a pokoru. Práve vďaka týmto vlastnostiam sa aj zvieratá v lese naučia spolu žiť.
