eBook: Když vám někdo, s kým se setkáte poprvé, řekne, že jste velmi fotogeničtí, není to kompliment. Sedmatřicetiletá Vittoria, která tuhle větu slýchá často, o tom už pár let ví své… Vittoria si píše blog o hudbě, vydělává si úklidem a sní o tom, že se jednou bude psaním živit. Stačí ale jedna náhodná fotka na Instagramu a v její kariéře nastane naprosto nečekaný obrat: její účet sledují tisíce followerů. A než se stihne vzpamatovat z nebývalého zájmu, je z ní instagramový guru životního stylu, nebo spíš rychlého stravování. Znenadání zjišťuje, že promuje jídlo. Pouliční jídlo, mražené jídlo, nezdravé jídlo. Protože ze všeho nejlépe Vittoria vždycky uměla jíst. Snímky s pizzou nebo burgerem – úspěch zaručen! Do toho stejně náhle vstoupí nový, podivně intenzivní a nezávazný vztah s Giuseppem a lukrativní pracovní nabídka pro televizi – první skutečná práce. Jenže Vittoria má v sobě spoustu nevyřešených problémů, minimum sebedůvěry a hlavně: hlad. Jídlem zaplňuje prázdnotu, jídlem léčí bolest, která přichází z hloubi duše a kterou se snaží nevnímat. Jediný, komu se svěřuje, je terapeutka Mina. Po třech letech má sice Vittoria stále spousty followerů na síti, momentálně se ale snaží udělat něco se svým skutečným životem. Valentina Farinaccio vypráví ten nejaktuálnější možný příběh a dělá to nejmodernějším možným způsobem: současným jazykem s minimální interpunkcí a maximální autentičností dává slovo mladé ženě, která má v sobě spoustu nejistot a nenaplněné lásky a prožívá velký virtuální úspěch, aby zjistila, že opravdový život je jinde.

A brilliant new translation of Koestler''s long-lost original manuscript. A chilling and unforgettable 20th century classic.From a prison cell in an unnamed country run by a totalitarian government Rubashov reflects. Once a powerful player in the regime, mercilessly dispensing with anyone who got in the way of his party’s aims, Rubashov has had the tables turned on him. He has been arrested and he’ll be interrogated, probably tortured and certainly executed.Darkness at Noon is as gripping as a thriller and a seminal work of twentieth-century literature. Published in Great Britain in 1940, it was feted by George Orwell, went on to be translated into thirty languages and is considered the finest work of pre-eminent European master, Arthur Koestler. And yet the novel’s worldwide reputation has, for over seventy years, been based on the first incomplete and inexpert English translation – Koestler’s original manuscript was lost when he fled the German occupation of Paris in 1940.In 2016, a student discovered that long-lost manuscript in a Zurich archive. At last, with the publication of this new translation of the rediscovered original, Koestler’s masterpiece can be experienced afresh and in its entirety for the first time.THE NEW TRANSLATION BY PHILIP BOEHM

Za sedm dní jí bude třicet a její nejnovější kratochvílí je sestavování seznamů vlastních neúspěchů. Ten poslední je delší, než by čekala: Bydlí u rodičů ve sklepě, aby se uživila, píše trendové články do hipsterského magazínu, který ale moc neplatí, takže musí taky třikrát denně venčit psa své sousedky… a dělat číšnici v baru plném opilých teenagerů v centru města. Její známí jsou šťastně zadaní, mají rozjetou kariéru, berou si hypotéky a plodí děti, zatímco ona neví, jakým směrem by se měla v životě ubírat. Její přítel je chudý básník, bydlí u své maminky a v dohledné době na tom nehodlá vůbec nic měnit. Nejlepšími přáteli a rádci v existenciálních otázkách jsou Amélii čtyři důchodci, se kterými se spřátelila při venčení psa – dokážou ji ale jejich svérázné rady navést na správnou cestu? Aby toho nebylo málo, šéfredaktor hipsterského magazínu, pro který pracuje, se jí rozhodl dát poslední šanci. Má napsat superúspěšný článek na téma 28 800 plastových kachniček, plovoucích v oceánu po námořní katastrofě. Na odevzdání jí dal přesně sedm dní, a tak začíná odpočet: Sedm dní na to, aby Amelia napsala nejvíc cool článek své kariéry a vyhnula se vyhazovu. Sedm dní na to, aby pochopila, jestli je vůbec zamilovaná – a do koho. Sedm dní, aby zjistila, co opravdu v životě chce. Je lepší se dál topit a máchat kolem sebe rukama jako o život, nebo do toho prostě skočit po hlavě a nechat se unášet proudem?

eBook: At Fault (1890) is a novel by American author Kate Chopin. Published at the author’s expense, At Fault is the undervalued debut of a pioneering feminist and gifted writer who sought to portray the experiences of Southern women struggling to survive in an era decimated by war and economic hardship. Thérèse Lafirme is a Creole widow whose husband’s death has made the Place-du-Bois plantation on the Cane River in northwestern Louisiana her sole responsibility. Struggling to survive in a region that, following the fall of the Confederacy, has failed to recover from the devastation of defeat, Lafirme agrees to sell her land’s timber rights to a recently divorced businessman named David Hosmer. As the two begin to fall in love, Hosmer’s sawmill causes tension in an agrarian community unaccustomed to modern industry. Hosmer proposes to Thérèse, she is forced to consider the prospect of marriage against the opinion her community as well as her own moral and religious values, to set her personal desires aside in order to appease tradition. When Fanny, Hosmer’s alcoholic ex-wife, re-enters the picture, trouble ensues that threatens to ruin Lafirme’s reputation as an honest, hardworking woman. At Fault, like much of Chopin’s work, went largely unnoticed upon publication, but has since garnered critical acclaim as a work that explores the lived experiences of women and racial minorities during a period of political and economic upheaval. Both fictional and autobiographical—Chopin was a widow of French heritage who struggled to provide for her family following her husband’s death—At Fault is an underappreciated masterpiece of nineteenth-century literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Kate Chopin’s At Fault is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The players are ready. By night’s end, a murderer will be revealed. Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.****''Sharp, droll and knowing as ever, Atkinson has huge fun with the set-up;the supporting cast is terrific, and the rueful Brodie, ever more mindful of the passing years,feels like an old friend.''

The stage is set. Marooned overnight by a snowstorm in a grand country house are a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize - a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick - except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the 'sidekick' is DC Reggie Chase. The crumbling house - Burton Makepeace and its chatelaine the Dowager Lady Milton - suffered the loss of their last remaining painting of any value, a Turner, some years ago. The housekeeper, Sophie, who disappeared the same night, is suspected of stealing it. Jackson, a reluctant hostage to the snowstorm, has been investigating the theft of another painting: The Woman with a Weasel, a portrait, taken from the house of an elderly widow, on the morning she died.The suspect this time is the widow's carer, Melanie. Is this a coincidence or is there a connection? And what secrets does the Woman with a Weasel hold? The puzzle is Jackson's to solve.And let's not forget that a convicted murderer is on the run on the moors around Burton Makepeace. All the while, in a bid to make money, Burton Makepeace is determined to keep hosting a shambolic Murder Mystery that acts as a backdrop while the real drama is being played out in the house. A brilliantly plotted, supremely entertaining, and utterly compulsive tour de force from a great writer at the height of her powers.

eBook: What makes a serial killer? There is a huge difference between killers who kill once in the heat of the moment, mass murderers who slaughter many people at once, and serial killers who follow a specific pattern to kill carefully selected victims. A serial killer is an ice-cold predator who enjoys the hunt, is driven by ritual or a particular impulse, and who becomes increasingly dependent on the release that the murder provides. A serial killer's brain demands multiple victims.German killer Volker Eckert was morbidly obsessed with women's long hair. Jeffrey Dahmer achieved sexual release by dismembering people and eating selected pieces. Alexander Pichushkin was preoccupied with chess and decided to murder 64 people, one per square on a chessboard. Finally, David Berkowitz believed that demons ordered him to kill. The stories told here reveal what drives serial killers and how they carry out their murders. The content is violent and gruesome and certainly not for children.-

eBook: May Sinclair’s ‘Life And Death of Harriett Frean’ tells the story of the titular character, Harriett, who has been raised as the embodiment of the perfect Victorian woman; loving, honourable, and obedient. She idolizes her parents and learns from childhood that love is equal to self-sacrifice but when she falls in love with her closest friend’s fiancé, she is forced to question everything she thought she thought she knew. Described as a \"small, perfect gem of a book\" by author Jonathan Coe, this historical romance novella was adapted into a BBC television show in 1986 and is a brilliant study of female ideals that stands alongside works by Virginia Woolf. May Sinclair was the pen name of Mary Amelia St. Clair, born 1863. May was a popular British writer who wrote over 20 novels, short stories, and poetry. She was also an active suffragist, and a member of the Woman Writers\' Suffrage League. Her activities for women’s voting rights were remembered by Sylvia Pankhurst, and May Sinclair once even dressed up as a rebel Jane Austen during a suffrage fundraising event.
