Sublimation
What would you sacrifice for a different life?
When you emigrate, you leave a version of yourself behind. Literally. One instance crosses the border; the other instance stays trapped behind it.
Some instances keep in touch, call each other daily, synchronize their lives and minds in the hopes of reintegrating and resuming a life as one person. Other instances, like Soyoung Rose Kang, leave home at age ten and never speak to their other selves again.
With a life of her own in New York, Rose never imagined she’d return to Korea. Then her grandfather dies and Soyoung, her Korean instance, summons her home for the funeral. But Soyoung’s motives aren’t as innocent as Rose imagined, and the consequences of Rose’s return to Seoul will change her forever.
Sublimation is a story of doppelgängers and corporate intrigue, heartbreak and betrayal. Nebula Award-winning author Isabel J. Kim has written an immigrant tale like no other, capturing the longing for another life and twisting it into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse.
Zakázaná láska
Josie Spencerová je rozhodnutá využít svůj nový začátek v New Yorku naplno. Radost jí dělají hlavně malé věci – dobrá pizza, skvělá hudba, béčkové filmy a pozorování světa skrze objektiv fotoaparátu. Láska? Ta pro ni zrovna není prioritou.
Grayson Harlow má do jednoduchosti daleko. Je okouzlující, inteligentní… a pevně svázaný železnými okovy rodinného impéria. Když se s Josie náhodou setká v Las Vegas, nemůže ji dostat z hlavy – je temperamentní, vášnivá a naprosto nedosažitelná.
Okamžitě mezi nimi přeskočí jiskra… a nedá mu spát.
Jenže o několik měsíců později Josie zjistí, že Grayson je její nový šéf. Přitažlivost mezi nimi se rázem stává nebezpečnou. Jeho mocná rodina Josie považuje za hrozbu – a udělá cokoli, aby se jí zbavila.
Josie tak stojí před rozhodnutím: udržet si tvrdě vydřenou práci snů nebo se vzdát všeho kvůli muži, kterému nedokáže odolat. Protože zamilovat se do Graysona Harlowa znamená riskovat mnohem více než jen zlomené srdce...
Churchill and the Crown
The story of Winston Churchill's long relationship with the Crown—from radical liberal under Edward VII to his last premiership as an old man under the young Queen Elizabeth II. Winston Churchill was born in a palace and was given a funeral worthy of a king. His family had enjoyed an intimate association with the British monarchy stretching back centuries. As King Edward VIII said of him, 'I have never met anyone of royal blood who exemplified in such high degree the ideal of the 'good king.' Churchill and the Crown tells the story of Churchill's relationship with the various kings and queens he served during his long political career, from young journalist under Edward VII, through his dramatic fall from grace in the First World War under George V, the frustrations of appeasement during the interwar period and his relationship with Edward VIII during the abdication crisis of 1936, culminating in his Finest Hour in the Second World War under George VI and the coda of Churchill's public service to his final monarch: Queen Elizabeth II. Ted Powell analyses Churchill's writings on monarchy and his role in preserving and establishing monarchies outside Britain. At the core of the book is a series of studies of Churchill's relationships with the monarchs he served. These studies offer a two-way perspective, examining both Churchill's view of individual monarchs and their attitudes towards him. They shed light not only on Churchill's career but also on the changing role of the monarchy in 20th century Britain.

Windswept
From New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor–winning author Margi Preus, a gripping middle-grade fantasy about a girl who must save the children of her world from being “windswept.”In Tag’s world, children are disappearing. “Youngers” who venture Outside are windswept—vanishing in the swirling snow—Tag’s sisters among them. Many have tried to find the lost children; all have failed. And since the Other Times, the Powers That Be seem intent on keeping it that way. Little remains from those times: snippets of songs, heaps of plastic trash, and a few banned texts—including a book of fairy tales. An unlikely crew of Youngers join forces—Boots, who can climb anything, Ant, who will eat anything, Ren, who will say anything, and Tag, who doesn’t appear to have any talent whatsoever. With their dubious skills, the fairy tales, a possibly magic ribbon, and an unwillingness to accept “that’s impossible,” they set off to rescue their windswept siblings in this spellbinding fantasy. Includes a map and black-and-white illustrations by award-winning artist Armando Veve

The Paranoid Style in American Politics
The classic and very funny account of the dark side of American politics
'Calm, clear, dispassionate and devastating - and a joy to read' Harper's
'Brilliant and influential … his evisceration of populism has found a new generation of readers' Guardian
'American political life … has served again and again as an arena for uncommonly angry minds'
How can a country be captured by rumours, surreal conspiracy theories and the most brazen of conmen? The historian Richard Hofstadter asked these questions in the 1960s, amid fears of rising extremism in America. Yet his dazzling dissection of the paranoid worldview - a brew of overheated exaggeration, suspicion and perceived victimhood that can derail entire nations - is a lesson for the ages in the seductive politics of the irrational.
In an era where we ourselves feel assailed by endless paranoid public statements it is comforting to read Hofstadter's incisive refusal to see these as something new. In his discussion of famous and obscure untruths, some of which have profoundly impacted American domestic and foreign policy, he provides the antidote for the present day.
'The Paranoid Style in American Politics' was first published as an essay in Harper's Magazine in late 1964 and has been argued over ever since.

Under the Surface – A felszín alatt (Éldekorált kiadás)
Egy világ, ahol a mágia nem kiváltság – hanem kötelezettség.
Namia Faye az árvaházban nőtt fel egy olyan birodalomban, ahol minden fiatalnak kötelező kiválasztáson kell átesnie, hogy eldőljön, milyen úton szolgálja majd a hazáját: harcosként a Vasfény Képzőben, tudósként az Ezüsttan Képzőben, vagy arcanusként az Arcanumban.
Namia éveken át készült, hogy Ezüst tanoncként, azaz tudósként folytassa életét. De van valami, amit mások nem tudnak: hónapok óta kísérti ugyanaz az álom, és benne egy alak, akit nem ismer – mégis valahogy úgy érzi, ismernie kellene.
Titkok, amiket nem lehet eltemetni.
És egy fiatal lány, akinek a sorsa többről dönt, mint amit valaha elképzelt.
A származásod nem határozza meg, ki vagy.
A döntéseid formálnak azzá.
