An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People).Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world. Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Audiokniha: Nášup emocí od autora, který vás rozveselil i rozplakal romány Muž jménem Ove (Nejlepší audiokniha roku 2014) a Babička pozdravuje a omlouvá se. O třiašedesátileté Britt-Marii někteří tvrdí, že je pasivně agresivní, zpomalená a ukňouraná bába. Když po čtyřiceti letech manželství opustí nevěrného manžela, usadí se ve vesnici Borg, v níž po finanční krizi zůstaly jen cedule s nápisem „Na prodej“ a pizzerie, která je cítit pivem. A fotbal. A také fotbalová přípravka, která nutně potřebuje trenéra. Britt-Marie fotbal nesnáší. V zoufalé situaci však detaily typu ‒ vybraná osoba tu práci opravdu, ale opravdu nechce ‒ nehrají žádnou roli. Stejně jako nehrají roli případné předsudky (ne že by Britt-Marie nějaké měla, to samozřejmě ne). Příběh o druhých šancích, prvních výkopech a o tom, že soda vyčistí skoro všechno. Četby audioknihy v režii Michala Bureše se zhostila Valérie Zawadská, ostřílená dabérka a interpretka disponující charakteristickým charismatickým hlasovým projevem, která se ujala již vyprávění autorova předchozího titulu Babička pozdravuje a omlouvá se. „Zawadská dokáže odlišit všechny postavy v příběhu dokonale, často jen drobnými změnami intonace.

Audiokniha: Závěrečný díl trilogie z hokejového městečka Medvědín. Po tragických událostech, o kterých nikdo nechce mluvit, udělala medvědínská komunita to, co vždycky – všichni sklonili hlavy a pokusili se jít dál. Po dvou letech se dokonce zdá, že se městu podařilo zacelit dávné rány. U jezera vyrostlo nové hokejové kluziště, Maya Anderssonová a Benji Ovich se vracejí domů a jejich shledání se starými známými je plné radosti a optimismu. Jenže pod povrchem se pořád skrývá něco, co Medvědínu brání posunout se dál. Někdejší rivalita se sousedním Hedem nikam nezmizela, a i když se dříve dařilo spory mezi městečky vyřešit v hokejových kláních, nyní se blíží cosi zlověstného. Napětí mezi komunitami roste a je jen otázkou času, kdy násilí přeroste úměrnou mez. Kdy nenávist vzburcuje k činu. A kdy někdo popadne zbraň a zamíří s ní ke stadionu… Švédský spisovatel Fredrick Backman zakončuje svou sérii ve velkolepém stylu a opět nenechá čtenáře vydechnout. „Backmanovou největší předností je dokonalé pochopení složitosti lidské duše. Jeho postavy jsou plnokrevné charaktery, pro něž máme pochopení a s nimiž soucítíme i v okamžiku, kdy provedou něco zavrženíhodného. Soudit je totiž náramně jednoduché, ale snažit se pochopit a odpustit dá mnohem větší práci.“ – Jindřich Göth, Novinky.cz. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Vrávoravý pokus otce vysvětlit dvouletému synovi, jak funguje svět. Fredrik Backman vtipně stírá všechny úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století v půvabné knize plné poctivých obav a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky, která zasáhnou čtenářovo srdce. Mému synovi. Už teď tě prosím o prominutí. Za všechno, co udělám špatně. Za všechno, k čemu se nedostanu. Za minibus. Za šortky. Za tričko "Toto krásné tělo vytvořilo pivo". Za snahu dát si "high-five" s tvými kamarády. Za tuhle knihu. Knihu o věcech, které si myslím, že bys měl vědět o světě. O fotbalu, IKEA, o tom, jaké je být mužem, o Bohu a smažené zmrzlině Snickers. O tom, jaké je to ztratit klíče od auta a proč musel taťka zabít zpívající plastovou žirafu. Většina této knihy je o snaze být dobrým rodičem. Protože chci, abys věděl, že jsem vážně udělal to nejlepší, co jsem mohl. Nikdo negoogloval tolik jako já.

Malý Noah s dědou chodí sedávat na lavičku a povídají si. Pod lavičkou rostou hyacinty, stejné, jaké děda kdysi pěstoval pro babičku. Děda s Noahem si můžou povídat úplně o všem. O všech otázkách spojených se životem a vesmírem, závažných i nicotných. Při rozhovorech s vnukem si děda vždycky vzpomene, jak se zamiloval do babičky a jak o ni ve stáří přišel. Zatím ji pořád vidí před sebou a děsí se dne, kdy si ji už nebude moci vybavit. Cítí, že jeho svět se mění. Proto by rád zůstal s Noahem na lavičce, kde je stále ještě obklopuje pronikavá vůně hyacintů. Jenže zachytit vzpomínky je čím dál těžší a oba se musejí naučit tomu vůbec nejtěžšímu: umění se rozloučit. Fredrik Backman v této netypické novele líčí boj stárnoucího muže o zachování nejdražších vzpomínek. Činí tak něžně a empaticky, jak to dovede jen on.

Je noc před Štědrým dnem a nemocniční chodbou kráčí žena v šedém, aby si odvedla jednoho z nás. Má s sebou desky se jmény nás všech: pětileté holčičky trpící rakovinou, která maluje svou oblíbenou židličku na červeno, dvacetiletého mladíka leštícího pivní sklenici v milované hospodě, pětačtyřicetiletého muže, který uhání tmou v drahém autě a hledá, do čeho by narazil. Někdo z nás dnes přijde o život, pokud se někdo jiný dobrovolně nevzdá toho svého. Ale nestačí pouze zemřít, protože život není jen to, co právě končí. Život je všechno to, co se stalo předtím. Fredrik Backman umí mistrně vylíčit lidské pochyby a vnitřní démony, aniž ztrácí smysl pro humor. Toto vyprávění je mnohem smutnější než třeba Dickensova Vánoční koleda, ale i zde najdeme naději a možnost všechno napravit - i když za velmi vysokou cenu.

Generace největších egoistů v dějinách lidstva si pořídila děti a uvědomila si, že je vlastně bezvýznamná. Jak jinak vyléčit všemožné úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století, než je shrnout do jedné výpovědi plné upřímných obav, prozrazených (či očekávaných) trapasů, rodinných i osobních historek a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky?

But before he can make the deal of a lifetime, he must find out what his own life has actually been worth, and only his son can reveal the answer.

Ove je starší pán, aký žije snáď v každom obytnom dome - večne nevrlý, zatrpknutý frfloš, v ktorom len ťažko odhalíte dobré srdce. Milovaná žena mu umrela, stal sa z neho samotár a pomaly stráca zmysel života. Kedysi býval predsedom spoločenstva vlastníkov domov, ale vystriedali ho už pred niekoľkými rokmi. Rozhodne mu to však nezabránilo vykonávať funkciu strážcu poriadku. Samozvaného. Keď sa do domu naproti prisťahujú mladí hluční susedia a namiesto pozdravu sa im len tak mimochodom podarí nacúvať do Oveho poštovej schránky, a ešte k tomu japonským autom, spustí sa kolotoč nečakaných udalostí.

A new generation is going to church. But is the church ready?Church consultant and researcher, Thom Rainer, believes God is at work in this generation, and he believes that this moment in time has created unique opportunities for churches to grow, thrive, and revive.The culture is at inflection point. Nearly two-thirds of Gen Zers reported experiencing at least one mental health problem in the past two years. This statistic was lower for all older generations, including Millennials (51%), Gen Xers (29%) and Boomers (14%). Gen Z is the loneliest generation of Americans, lacking deep relationships and offline connection. Sixty-eight percent of Gen Z feel like nobody knows them well. That is one reason why this generation is called the anxious generation. Researchers have identified everything from social media to pandemic lockdowns as the prime culprit of why Gen Z is struggling with issues like mental illness more than other generations.Thom Rainer views the church as God’s Plan A for helping this generation discover their true calling and thrive in a purposeful and genuine faith community.

By the time of his assassination in 1963, John F. Kennedy stood at the helm of the greatest power the world had ever seen. Born in 1917 to a striving Irish American family that had become among Boston's wealthiest, Kennedy knew political ambition from an early age, and his meteoric rise to become the youngest elected president cemented his status as one of the most mythologized figures in modern history. Beckoned by this gap in our historical knowledge, Harvard professor Fredrik Logevall has spent much of the last decade combing through material unseen or unused by previous biographers, searching for and piecing together the 'real' John F. Kennedy -- resulting in a masterpiece that reviews have agreed will be the definitive work. This first volume of this sweeping two-part biography spans the first thirty-nine years of his life, revealing his early relationships, his formative and heroic experiences during World War II, and his deeply fascinating romance with Jackie Kennedy. In examining these pre-White House years, Logevall chronicles Kennedy's extraordinary life and times with authority and novelistic sensibility, putting the reader in every room where it happened.

In his debut novel, longtime observer of culture and politics Fredrik deBoer depicts mental illness in all its grim and ugly reality, free of our culture''s endless romanticization of insanity.In a dorm room at her safety school, surrounded by corn-fed boys and contemptuous girls, Alice is losing her mind. Her first semester is spent clinging to middling grades between drunken hookups and roommate fights. The next brings sleepless nights, extreme weight loss, and effortless, compulsive energy, paused only by an unexpected summoning from the RA for evaluation. Thus begins an endless march of lithium, antidepressants, and Klonopin; doctors and therapists—when health insurance allows—along with overwhelmed parents and well-intentioned friends; all helpless bystanders as Alice descends deeper into chaos.As chilling as a psychiatric case study, as wry and precise as Flaubert, The Mind Reels peels back society''s polite trappings to portray the experience of mental illness in all its complexity.

Humans excel at designing and constructing technological marvels like cars and aeroplanes. Yet, when it comes to the very houses we live in, do we apply the same level of creativity and bold innovation? Or are we too constrained by notions of how we think things ought to be?In this beautiful book, architect and professor Fredrik Lund explores the concept of constructing homes that not only offer a refuge of tranquillity in our hectic, modern lives but also blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Imagine houses with internal gardens, spaces that exist in a liminal state between inside and outside—where being indoors feels like an embrace with nature.Lund presents a unique approach to designing homes, drawing inspiration from the traditional Norwegian outbuildings, barns, and sawmills. He invites the reader into a vibrant world of unexpected delights, masterful woodwork, poetic expression, and an enhanced quality of life nestled in silence. Through his adept use of simple lines, Lund brings these houses to life, making them both accessible and vivid.

''A magnum opus, an accessible and genuinely global history ... This is a book for today and tomorrow'' Financial Times Capitalist enterprise has existed in some form since ancient times, but the globalization and dominance of capitalism as a system began in the 1860s when, in different forms and supported by different political forces, states all over the world developed their modern political frameworks: the unifications of Italy and Germany, the establishment of a republic in France, the elimination of slavery in the American south, the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the emancipation of the serfs in Tsarist Russia. This book magnificently explores how, after the upheavals of industrialisation, a truly global capitalism followed. For the first time in the history of humanity, there was a social system able to provide a high level of consumption for the majority of those who lived within its bounds. Today, capitalism dominates the world.With wide-ranging scholarship, Donald Sassoon analyses the impact of capitalism on the histories of many different states, and how it creates winners and losers by constantly innovating.

Acclaimed psychologist Jonathan Haidt reveals how the decline of free-play in childhood and the rise of smartphone use among adolescents is changing our world From 2010, as teens traded in their flip phones for smartphones packed with social media apps, unsupervised time online soared while face-to-face conversations with friends and family plummeted, and so did mental health. This profound shift took place against a backdrop of diminishing childhood freedom and over-supervision in the real world, depriving children of the experiences they most need to become strong and self-governing adults. The Anxious Generation delves into the latest research to show how this shift from free-play to smartphones disrupts development – from sleep deprivation to addiction – and lays the foundations of isolation and fear that define society today. Grounded in ancient wisdom and packed full of cutting-edge science and practical advice, this eye-opening book is a life-raft for anyone who wants to understand how the most rapid rewiring of human relationships and consciousness in human history has made it harder for all of us to think, focus, forget ourselves enough to care about others and build close relationships.
