Saint Odd
The seventh and final Odd Thomas thriller from the master storyteller. The future is haunting Odd Thomas. The carnival has returned to Pico Mundo, the same one that came to town when Odd was just sixteen. Odd is drawn to an arcade tent where he discovers Gypsy Mummy, the fortune-telling machine that told him that he and Stormy Llewellyn were destined to be together forever. But Stormy is dead and Pico Mundo is under threat once more. History seems to be repeating itself as Odd grapples with a satanic cult intent on bringing destruction to his town. An unseasonal storm is brewing, and as the sky darkens and the sun turns blood-red, it seems that all of nature is complicit in their plans. Meanwhile Odd is having dreams of a drowned Pico Mundo, where the submerged streetlamps eerily light the streets. But there's no way Pico Mundo could wind up underwater ...could it?

OWC Odd Women
'there are half a million more women than men in this unhappy country of ours ...So many odd women - no making a pair with them.' The idea of the superfluity of unmarried women was one the 'New Woman' novels of the 1890s sought to challenge. But in The Odd Women (1893) Gissing satirizes the prevailing literary image of the 'New Woman' and makes the point that unmarried women were generally viewed less as noble and romantic figures than as 'odd' and marginal in relation to the ideal of womanhood itself. Set in grimy, fog-ridden London, these 'odd' women range from the idealistic, financially self-sufficient Mary Barfoot and Rhoda Nunn, who run a school to train young women in office skills for work, to the Madden sisters struggling to subsist in low-paid jobs and experiencing little comfort or pleasure in their lives. Yet it is for the youngest Madden sister's marriage that the novel reserves its most sinister critique. With superb detachment Gissing captures contemporary society's ambivalence towards its own period of transition. The Odd Women is a novel engaged with all the major sexual and social issues of the late-nineteenth century. Judged by contemporary reviewers as equal to Zola and Ibsen, Gissing was seen to have produced an 'intensely modern' work and it is perhaps for this reason that the issues it raises remain the subject of contemporary debate. *Introduction *Textual Note *Bibliography *Chronology *Explanatory Notes *Map.

Dôvera
Román ocenený v roku 2023 Pulitzerovou cenou
Aj v ruchu búrlivých 20. rokov 20. storočia každý Newyorčan počul o Benjaminovi a Helen Raskovcoch. On je legendárny finančník z Wall Street, ona je dcéra excentrických aristokratov. Spoločne vystúpili na vrchol úspechu, práve keď sa dekáda excesov a finančných špekulácií blíži ku koncu. Za akú cenu však nadobudli to nesmierne bohatstvo? Túto záhadu rieši román Záväzky od istého Harolda Vannera, ktorý so zatajeným dychom číta celý New York. Existujú však aj ďalšie verzie tohto príbehu o úspechu.
Dôvera je román o peniazoch, moci, intimite, ale aj brilantná literárna skladačka. Pozýva čitateľa hľadať pravdu napriek lžiam, ktoré neraz tvoria podstatu osobných vzťahov, a sile vplyvu poháňanom peniazmi, ktoré vedia ohýbať realitu podľa svojich predstáv. Ak sa chceme dopátrať pravdy, často si ju musíme vyskladať z rôznych výpovedí a kopať hlbšie, ako sa na prvý pohľad zdá.
Z anglického originálu Trust (Riverhead Books, New York 2022) preložil Vladislav Gális.
