Wash
Fiction to look out for in 2026 —The ObserverHe is a boy growing up in rural Pennsylvania under the eye of a brutal, brilliant father. He is a young man at college, enduring the choices that have been made for him and finding brightness and beauty all the same. He is a soldier in a dreadful war who – despite that awful conflict – finds the extraordinary woman who was the love of his life, and her tale inextricably twines with his. He is an engineer who builds one of the great wonders of the modern world. His name is Washington Roebling. His life holds the possible and the impossible, what could be grasped and what could only be longed for. History holds one truth. Here is another. Forged in a brutal age, duty-bound to execute his domineering father’s vision of the life he must live, he joins forces with his brilliant wife Emily to overcome myriad obstacles to fulfilling his obligation, chief among them his own yearning to shed the burden of achieving a dream that was never his own. This is a book of growth, yearning, about the price of achievement, about the road not taken. Beads on the necklace of a life are strung together to create a composite portrait not only of Washington but of those who loved him: Emily of course, but Max too – a young man whose spirit will haunt him for the rest of his life. Here duty and desire, love and obligation, intersect and contradict each other. With subtle narrative and powerful, vivid prose it offers an invitation to enter a complex world, so that readers may see their own histories, their own choices, their own possibilities, mirrored in this compelling text. Wash is a richly imagined and intimate book about a singular life – built from as many intricately linked elements as the iconic Brooklyn Bridge that is its hero's lasting legacy.
Zachránce tváří
"Od výstřelu prvního kulometu na západní frontě bylo jasné, že vojenská technologie mnohonásobně překonala možnosti lékařské vědy. Mnozí z vojáků první světové války, kteří průmyslové vraždění přežili, opouštěli armádu se znetvořením a těžko představitelným traumatem. Zatímco ztráta končetiny učiní z veterána hrdinu, člověk bez obličeje se stává monstrem. Ten, kdo mu tvář navrátí, zachrání jeho identitu i duši.
Válečná brutalita je živnou půdou lékařského pokroku. Dokladem je i příběh Harolda Gilliese, otce moderní plastické chirurgie. Gilliesovo oddělení v londýnské Královnině nemocnici se stalo laboratoří medicínských vynálezů a inovací a také prostředím, kde se setkávaly dramatické osudy pacientů, kteří se díky lékařově obětavosti a profesnímu umění navracejí zpět do života.
Stejně jako ve své předchozí knize Umění řezničiny píše historička vědy Lindsey Fitzharrisová sugestivně a jazykem blízkým beletrii."

Miközben párizsiak ezrei menetelnek a háború ismeretlen borzalmai elől, Isabelle találkozik a partizán Gaëtannal ? aki hisz abban, hogy a franciák az országhatárokon belül szembeszállhatnak a nácikkal ?, és szenvedélyesen egymásba habarodnak. Ám amikor a fiú elárulja, Isabelle csatlakozik az Ellenálláshoz, és többé hátra se néz: újra és újra az életét kockáztatja mások megmentéséért.

The Ride
On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on a borrowed horse to fulfill a dangerous but crucial mission: to alert American colonists of advancing British troops, which would seek to crush their nascent revolt. Revere was not the only rider that night, and indeed, he had completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years to come - as the American Revolution morphed from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding stories. In The Ride, Kostya Kennedy presents a new narrative informed by fresh research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. Kennedy reveals Revere’s ride to be more complex than it is usually portrayed - a coordinated series of rides by numerous men, near-disaster, capture by British forces, and finally success. While Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, Kennedy reveals the other men (and, perhaps, a woman with information about the movement of British forces) who helped to set in motion the events that would lead to America’s independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic, unstoppable narrative, The Ride recreates an essential American story for a new generation of readers.

The Book of Cannabis
In The Book of Cannabis, Jeremy Narby - renowned author of The Cosmic Serpent - delivers a sweeping, clear-eyed exploration of cannabis as both plant and cultural phenomenon. He traces its path from ancient medicinal and ritualistic roles to its place at the centre of debates over wellness, law, and culture in the present day, revealing how cannabis became one of the most controversial plants in history. With the global shift toward legalisation, Narby dives into the latest science on cannabis’s therapeutic potential and risks, especially in the era of high-potency strains and edibles. He unpacks the plant’s transformation through selective breeding and examines its evolving impact on health, society, and the environment. The book also explores the implications of cannabis's changing legal status and its intersection with issues of social justice and public policy. Accessible, nuanced, and deeply informed, this is essential reading for cannabis users, industry professionals, educators, and policymakers alike. Narby’s anthropological lens offers a unique perspective on the plant's journey, making The Book of Cannabis a vital guide to understanding cannabis in all its complexity.

Names and Faces
Who are you? What are you? And how does it feel to be you? Leise Hook was asked these intrusive questions so many times growing up that they haunted her like ghosts. Born to a Chinese mother and white American father, and growing up in Michigan, Tokyo, and Virginia, Leise Hook was never sure where she fit in. More white passing than her Chinese friends and family, but with the Mandarin skills of a native speaker, she was constantly exceeding some expectations while failing to meet others. From moving to Beijing, to dying her hair blonde, to exploring self portraiture, Hook struggles to figure out who she is and where she belongs. In the vein of Cathy Park Hong and Gene Luen Yang, Hook’s graphic memoir-in-essays rendered via her signature, award-winning style, explores what it means to come of age as a mixed-race woman, forging a singular identity in a world intent on putting her into ill-fitting boxes.
Morbid Curiosities
When the Institute’s invitation arrived at my doorstep, it felt like it had been inked in my blood, sweat, and tears. Aarya’s life plan has been set for as long as she can remember: finish high school with a bang, attend the best college she can get into, then land a prestigious biology research job. Her ticket to this dream is a one-year program at the Elizabethan Institute, the preeminent organisation for life sciences in the United States, currently on the cusp of revealing a major project that could transform the worlds of biology and medicine. But as Aarya tries to settle in to a school with sky-high academic expectations and research cloaked in mystery, it becomes clear that someone doesn’t want her there. As the scholarship student surrounded by rich, cutthroat peers who seem all too willing to torment her, she never expected to make friends, but the notes warning her to run rattle her to her core. She finds an ally in Sofia, a mysterious girl who claims to be the subject of closed-door experiments at the Institute and begs for Aarya’s help in figuring out what the Institute is really working on. As rumors of mutated flora and fauna in the nearby city circulate and a murder investigation rocks the Institute, Aarya will have to navigate Sofia’s growing paranoia and her own increasingly unreliable memory to determine which classmates she can trust - and which would rather see her dead.
Normalization of the Global Far Right
Exploring how the boundary between the extremist far right and centre-right parties and politics became blurred, Normalization of the Global Far Right: Pandemic Disruption deconstructs one of the most pressing issues of today: the rise of the far right. Taking a critical look at the ‘normalisation’ of far-right thinking underpinned by gendered racisms, Vieten and Poynting trace the emergence of transnational far right populist movements and how these have been shaped by European colonialism, white supremacy, and ideological legacies of the Empire alike.
The Last American Road Trip
It is one thing to study the fall of democracy, another to have it hit your homeland -- and yet another to raise children as it happens. The Last American Road Trip is one family’s journey to the most beautiful, fascinating, and bizarre places in the US during one of its most tumultuous eras. As Kendzior works as a journalist chronicling political turmoil, she becomes determined that her young children see America before it’s too late.

Starting from Missouri, the family drives across America in every direction as cataclysmic events – the rise of autocracy, political and technological chaos, and the pandemic – reshape American life. They explore Route 66, national parks, historical sites, and Americana icons as Kendzior contemplates love for country in a broken heartland. Together, the family watches the landscape of the United States - physical, environmental, social, political -transform through the car window. Part memoir, part political history, The Last American Road Trip is one mother’s promise to her children that their country will be there for them in the future – even though at times she struggles to believe it herself.

Dixy, Era és Lia egy egész világ sorsáról kell hogy döntsön.
A kódex megjelenése felforgatja az írósuli életét. A múzsák és a lázadó rubrikátorok közti feszültség egyre csak fokozódik, mígnem az egész város a feje tetejére áll. Kémek, betörések és félelmetes összecsapások árnyékolják be a mindennapokat. Az erdő rejtekében veszedelmes tiltott szavak szállnak, míg a novemberi fagy sötét idők előszelét hozza magával. A közelgő változás tanárt és diákot egyaránt megérint. Senki sem menekülhet előle.
A lányoknak a legnagyobb káoszban kell tovább kutatniuk az örökségük után. Ha megtalálják az aranytintát, az minden kívánságukat valóra válthatja.

Kalandjaik során a legnagyobb veszélyek közepette is készek kiállni az igazságért. A gond csak az, hogy ez a csalafinta szó mindhármuknak mást jelent.
The Floating World - A Lebegő Világ
A lány menekül a múlt elől, a fiú kutat utána. Találkozásuk mindent megváltoztat...
Szunho az Alsó Világban, az örök sötétség országában él. Egykor katona volt, aki két évvel ezelőtt egyedül ébredt, oldalán kardjával, és a nevén kívül nem emlékezett semmi másra. Azóta alkalmi munkákból próbál megélni, míg egy nap belebotlik élete legnagyobb lehetőségébe: egy láda pénz jár annak a zsoldosnak, aki kézre keríti az ezüstös fénnyel harcoló lányt.
Ezalatt messze keleten Ren, a vidám, bátor mutatványoslány örökbe fogadó családjával járja a falvakat. Ám az egyik előadásuk estéjén minden megváltozik, amikor egy borzalmas, emberszerű démon halálosan megsebesíti a nagybátyját.
Eltökéli, hogy megmenti rokonát a biztos haláltól, ezért útra kel a hegyeken át oda, ahonnan a démon érkezett, és ahonnan maga Ren tíz évvel korábban elmenekült. Útja keresztezi Szunhóét, ám a fiú nem tudja, hogy ő az a lány, akit száz másik harcossal együtt keres.
Ahogy az út során egyre közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz, megértik, hogy múltjuk - és sorsuk - jóval szövevényesebben fonódik össze, mint azt bármelyikük is képzelte volna...
Egyikük lelkében fény lobog, a másikéban sötétség. Meg akarják menteni egymást, de a sors talán másként rendelte...

For the Love of the Grind
But success has never come easy. Fear of failure set in during high school. In college, Sara competed through a results-obsessed culture that carried into her professional career. She battled anxiety and imposter syndrome, alongside outside pressure to quit the sport and instead devote herself to supporting her husband, Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall, and later, her kids. Yet Sara never gave up on the dream of reaching her potential. Fueled by faith, family, and an unbridled love of exploring her limits, Sara has proven the doubters wrong at every turn. When she and Ryan adopted four daughters from Ethiopia, motherhood only made her faster, running personal bests year after year and landing on podiums at the world’s most competitive races. Along the way, she discovered that choosing love over fear allowed her to take risks. For the Love of the Grind is a love letter to running, and the story of Sara’s growth as an athlete, wife, and mum.
