Between Summer's Longing and Winter's End
It begins with the apparent suicide of a young American student in Stockholm. What is at first an open and shut case of suicide quickly leads to a complex web of international espionage, treachery and ultimately the legendary murder of the Swedish Pr
ime Minister, Olof Palme. Dogged by the incompetence of their colleagues and the murkiness of the political aspects of the case, a few good and honourable policemen must make their way through a world of corruption, violence and prejudice if they are
to survive and discover the truth behind the greatest trauma to hit Sweden in living memory.

They still haven't found the body of the first and only boy who broke Alessandra's heart - and they never will. Since then, all of her relationships have been purely physical. And now at eighteen years old, Alessandra is ready for more. The plan is simple:
1. Make the king fall in love with her.
2. Get him to marry her.
3. Kill him and take his kingdom for herself.
It's no small task, but Alessandra wants a kingdom and is going to do everything within her power to get it. She knows the freshly crowned Shadow King will be her toughest target yet. Shrouded in a mysterious power, no one is allowed to touch him.

The Dark Between Stars
From the internationally bestselling author of LOVE HER WILD comes THE DARK BETWEEN STARS, a new illustrated collection of heartfelt, whimsical, and romantic poems from Instagram poetry sensation, Atticus.
Atticus has captured the hearts and minds of nearly 700k followers (including stars like Karlie Kloss, Emma Roberts, and Alicia Keys). In his second collection of poetry, The Dark Between Stars, he turns his attention to the dualities of our lived experiences = the inescapable connections between our highest highs and lowest lows. He captures the infectious energy of starting a relationship, the tumultuous realities of commitment, and the agonizing nostalgia of being alone again. While grappling with the question of how to live with purpose and find meaning in the journey, these poems offer both honest explorations of loneliness and our search for connection, as well as light-hearted, humorous observations. As Atticus writes poignantly about dancing, Paris, jazz clubs, sunsets, sharing a bottle of wine on the river, rainy days, creating, and destroying, he illustrates that we need moments of both beauty and pain = the darkness and the stars = to fully appreciate all that life and love have to offer.
Longing
The sixth step into the Darkness is called Longing, and it features a single short story; a very distinctive one indeed. It is a relatively short masterpiece by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the author who is a pillar of our series. The Outsider is one of his most often published short stories, and it has proven to be very popular with both readers and listeners.

Crossing between Tradition and Modernity
Kniha "Crossing Between Tradition and Modernity" představuje soubor třinácti esejů k uctění památky Mileny Doleželové-Velingerové (1932-2012), členky pražské sinologické školy a významné odbornice na čínskou literaturu, která zastávala přední místo při zavádění literární teorie a její důsledné aplikace v sinologii. Milena Doleželová-Velingerová byla jedním z těch vzácných vědeckých pracovníků, kteří psali se stejnou erudicí a stejně kvalifikovaně jak o moderní, tak i o klasické literatuře. Eseje následují příkladu Mileny Doleželové-Velingerové v tom smyslu, že se zabývají širokým spektrem historických období, literárních žánrů a témat - od Tangových cestovatelských esejů až po kulturní identitu postkoloniálního Hong-Kongu. Eseje jsou strukturovány do dvou částí Language, Structure, and Genre a Identities and Self-Representations. Jsou motivovány soustředěným zájmem o problematiku jazyka, narativní struktury a komplexní povahy literárního významu, tématy, které byly středobodem práce Mileny Doleželové-Velingerové.

Music – Memory – Minorities: Between Archive and Activism
Co může říct hudba o skupinové specifice, zvláště specifice etnických menšin? V tomto svazku je pohled zaměřen na distinktivní aspekt menšinové kultury – na kolektivní vzpomínání. To ovšem není otiskem minulosti: vzniká jako obraz, vytvořený z motivů minulosti, ale formuje se potřebami a zájmy přítomnosti, na jeho vzniku se podílejí různí aktéři. Kdo jsou oni aktéři a jaké obrazy vytvářejí, je-li médiem vzpomínání hudba – mocné médium, jež díky svému polysémantickému charakteru umožňuje propojovat oblast individuálního a kolektivního, reprezentovat komunity nebo přepisovat skupinové hranice?
Kniha Music - Memory – Minorities: Between Archive and Activism se zaměřuje na hudební vzpomínání Romů a Židů. Kromě jednotlivých případů vytváří celek textů pozoruhodný oblouk umožňující sledovat roli hudby v etno-emancipačním procesu menšin.

Down and Out in Paris and London
'You can live on a shilling a day in Paris if you know how. But it is a complicated business'
As a struggling writer in his twenties, Orwell lived as a down-and-out among the poorest members of society. In this, his early memoir, Orwell recalls with vivid clarity his time working as a penniless dishwasher in Paris, pawning clothes to buy a day's worth of bread and wine, sleeping in bug-infested bunks, trading survival skills and cigarette butts with fellow tramps, and trudging between London's workhouse spikes for a few hours' sleep and tea.
With all of the sensitivity and compassion that Orwell is known and loved for, he exposed the hardships of poverty and gave readers an unprecedented look at life lived on the fringes of society.
Between Commitment and Betrayal
My father's business partner will do anything for the empire they built together...Even marry me. Declan Hardy, All-American heartthrob and retired NFL billionaire, is my complete opposite. He's commanding where I'm cooperative.
Spontaneous while I am deliberate. Loud when I stay quiet. The only thing we have in common is that both our names are on my father's will.
He'll inherit the fitness and hospitality empire and I'll keep the one thing I hold dear. As long as I marry him-with conditions. One year of a fake marriage.
One year of living together. One year of pretending I belong in his luxury lifestyle. But stipulations are never that simple.
Especially when I can't tell if his kisses are fake or if I'm pretending when I kiss him back. And as more conditions arise, it's clear there's a fine line between commitment and betrayal... and neither of us knows where that line falls.
Between Love and Loathing
Fake dating my enemy so I can design my dream bakery should be easy ... as long as I don't fall in love with him.
Dominic Hardy might be an award-winning architectural engineer with fancy degrees and considerable accolades, but he doesn't know a thing about baking. He doesn't even like sugar. So when my late stepfather's will states that Dominic Hardy is set to inherit the Pacific C oast Resort he'd painstakingly designed, as long as my bakery can be plopped in the middle of it, it's no surprise he balks. And my jaw drops when another stipulation requires us to mutually approve plans for my bakery's design.
His stuffy taste will never mix with my whimsical vibe. But then Dominic comes to me with a proposal I can't refuse. He'll give me everything I want in my bakery as long as I agree to one thing: Fake date him for five months. Keep his ex away by pretending we're in love. Smile and stare into his piercing green eyes at a gala or two. Maybe share a kiss. Nothing extreme. Five months of acting in love when I really loathe him and his filthy mouth. Even when he's using it on me. This should be a cakewalk. Except there's a fine line between love and loathing, and I think I've made the colossal mistake of blurring it.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It's not a romance, but it is about love.
When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one winter morning he is catapulted back to the brief time they spent playing together as children. Their unique spark is instantly reignited.
What comes next is a story of friendship and rivalry, fame and creativity, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, ultimately, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

He’s become a cold, ruthless billionaire, and he wants revenge. When he finds out I’m engaged, he offers me a deal.
Leave the man I’m with and be with him instead. Or else. Six months of calling Dex my finace… even as he stares at me with hardened eyes. Six months of ignoring his electrifying touches and pretending I don’t love him… when I still do. The problem with faking this engagement is I’m starting to believe in forever. And neither of us can afford to.
