“A very entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving novel about the complex bonds between mother and daughter.” —Washington Post“Mary McCarthy, Anne Rivers Siddons, and a host of others have portrayed the power and value of female friendships, but no one has done it with more grace, charm, talent, and power than Rebecca Wells.” —Richmond Times-DispatchThe incomparable #1 New York Times bestseller, Rebecca Wells’s Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is a classic of Southern women’s fiction to be read and reread over and over again. A poignant, funny, outrageous, and wise novel about a lifetime friendship between four Southern women, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood brilliantly explores the bonds of female friendship, the often-rocky relationship between mothers and daughters, and the healing power of humor and love, in a story as fresh and uplifting as when it was first published a decade and a half ago. If you haven’t yet met the Ya-Yas, what are you waiting for?

Kiersten White, New York Times bestselling author of Paranormalcy, is back with The Chaos of Stars, an enchanting novel set in Egypt and San Diego that captures the magic of first love and the eternally complicated truth about family. Blending Ally Carter's humor and the romance of Cynthia Hand's Unearthly, The Chaos of Stars takes readers on an unforgettable journey halfway across the world and back, and proves there's no place like home. Isadora's family is seriously screwed up-which comes with the territory when you're the human daughter of the Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris. Isadora is tired of her immortal relatives and their ancient mythological drama, so when she gets the chance to move to California with her brother, she jumps on it. But her new life comes with plenty of its own dramatic-and dangerous-complications ...and Isadora quickly learns there's no such thing as a clean break from family.

Ambiciózní sci-fi román o setkání s nepřátelskou mimozemskou civilizací Exordia — jak strašidelné galaktické impérium, tak stejnojmenný román — představuje tresť všeho, co má správná sci-fi mít. Kurdská odstřelovačka, již pro své zájmy získají krvelační vetřelci, íránský stíhací pilot, který ovládne warp, čínská matematička a její nesmělá katolická milenka z Filipín, ugandští těžaři, kanadští prospektoři, zaměstnanci americké vlády, ruští molodci… a hrozba zničení Země a zotročení galaxie ztělesněným Zlem, jasně umístěným na exaktní škále morálních hodnot. Seth Dickinson rozjíždí válku světů, kde se jako na horské dráze střídají ohromující technobitvy s existenciálními úvahami, osobní dilemata s kosmickými nejistotami, časoprostorové anomálie s křehkostmi lidského sebevnímání. A to všechno naložil na hrb postavám, které si zamilujeme ne pro jejich sílu, ale pro humor, s nímž nesou svoji slabost, a statečnost, k níž jim dopomohly přízraky vlastní minulosti.

Audiokniha: Všichni ji měli za nicku, ale stala se válečnicí, která rozmlouvá s bohy… Osiřelá dívka vyrůstající v zapadlé provincii nikdy nepoznala lásku ani opravdový domov, a když se dozví, že má být provdána za bohatého starce, upne všechny své naděje i síly k obávané zkoušce kche-tü, v níž mohou obstát pouze nejnadanější žáci z celé říše. K vlastnímu překvapení i nevíře svých hodnotitelů Rin nakonec uspěje a dokonce je přijata na vytoužený Sinegard, nejprestižnější vojenskou akademii v Nikanu. Ačkoliv se nezkušená venkovanka v hlavním městě stane terčem posměchu i šikany, najde si tu časem pár přátel a získá přízeň tajemného mistra mudrosloví, který jí prozradí, že bohové jsou skuteční – a ona sama disponuje mocí je přivolat. Zároveň se jí ovšem dostane důkladného varování, aby svůj dar raději nevyužívala, neboť cena za jeho použití je příliš vysoká. Potom však do Nikanu vtrhne početná a dokonale vycvičená armáda Mukenského svazu, odvěkého nepřítele říše, s nímž v minulosti vedla a jen se štěstím vyhrála tzv. makové války, a Rin brzy pochopí, že bez pomoci bohů – a možná ani s ní – Nikan tentokrát nezvítězí… Zdařilý románový debut se stal prvním dílem fantasy trilogie nominované na ceny Hugo, Nebula i World ...

Audiokniha: Ukončila válku a nyní jde po krku své císařovně! A krom toho válčí i sama se sebou… Právě Rininou zásluhou sice říše Nikan neprohrála ani třetí makovou válku, nicméně za vítězství tvrdě zaplatili jak její obyvatelé, tak sama mladá šamanka mučená nočními můrami i neodbytným voláním boha Fénixe po další krvi. Závislost na opiu, s jehož pomocí se snaží zkrotit oheň ve svém nitru, proměnila tuto obávanou bojovnici v trosku. Touha pomstít se nenáviděné císařovně je však silnější. Rin i přeživší členové jednotky cch’-kche, která se stala hrdinčinou novou rodinou, se proto opět chápou zbraní a pod velením vojenského správce Dračí provincie usilují o svržení vládkyně Nikanu a vyhlášení nové republiky. Obávaná Zmije jim ale bude mocnou sokyní a protivníci v sobě dost možná nenajdou potřebnou vůli, aby ji o trůn připravili. A navíc – stojí vůbec poddaní o konec starých pořádků ve jménu pofiderní demokracie? Jisté je tak pouze jedno: neexistuje nic, co by Rin pro svou zemi a pomstu neobětovala… V prostřední části oceňované trilogie Maková válka se autorka inspirovala moderní historií Číny a vehnala své hrdiny do víru revoluce. „Autorka bravurně vykresluje postavu zmítanou protichůdnými emocemi.

Audiokniha: Básník pobíhá nespoutaně po louce. Překladatel je nucen tančit v okovech – a přece má ohromnou moc. Chlapce z čínského Kantonu potkalo štěstí v neštěstí. O nejbližší příbuzné ho sice připravila cholera, ale před smrtí v bídě ho uchrání britský profesor Lovell. Předloží mu nabídku, o níž se většině sirotků může leda zdát: když se bude hoch vzdělávat v jazycích, pro něž má zvláštní nadání, zařídí mu učený muž život v pohodlí. Hrdina tedy přijme nové anglické jméno Robin i svůj úděl a vydává se do Oxfordu, aby v elitním ústavu Babylon studoval stříbrodělství – magické umění překladatelství. Sejde se tu s podobně talentovanými vrstevníky z dalších zemí. Všem se dostalo blahobytných výsad, avšak za podmínek, kterým tak docela nerozumějí a o něž mohou kdykoli přijít. Zvlášť kdyby se zapletli s nesprávnými osobami. Jenže jak poznat, co je ve skutečnosti správné, když Britové žijí v přepychu díky pokladům z kolonií, zatímco původní spoluobčané mladých překladatelů jsou prachsprostě vykořisťováni?

Přesto je vítězství pro její národ, jemuž obětovala vše, stále v nedohlednu. Ačkoli získala podporu tisíců prostých lidí, řady mocných protivníků se zdají nekonečné. Dračí republika, kolonisti ze Západu i nenáviděný Ne-ča – s těmi všemi se musí vypořádat, zatímco spojenců naopak ubývá. A ti, kdo zůstávají, jsou kluzcí jako hadi. K tomu, aby Rin zvítězila a dosáhla vytoužené svobody, bude muset zkusit dosud nepoznané cesty a hledat přátele na nejméně pravděpodobných místech. Hlas ohnivého boha Fénixe však v její mysli sílí a odolat pokušení spálit svět na popel bude čím dál těžší.

Hned po studiích na Yaleu vydala u velkého nakladatelství prvotinu, která ji vystřelila do nebeských výšin. Románům o jejích asijských kořenech se dostává uznání u kritiků i čtenářů, ocenění se na ni hrnou ze všech stran, překlady vycházejí po celém světě, peníze se sypou a do toho se ozývá studio s nabídkou odkupu filmových práv. Athena je mladá, krásná a úspěšná. A především mrtvá. June Haywardová byla přímo u toho, když se její spolužačka udusila kusem palačinky. Přestože cítí smutek, cynické já jí našeptává, že teď má konečně šanci prorazit. Doposud se ve spisovatelském světě potácela neviditelnými uličkami a úspěch nedostižné kolegyně nesla nelibě.

As NightWatch, Terence Dickinson''s classic stargazing guide, neared its 40th anniversary, Dickinson worked with a small group of trusted colleagues to give this groundbreaking reference an overhaul that will take it deep into the 21st century. Longtime astronomy writer and sky observer Ken Hewitt-White led the editorial team. A central aspect to this new edition is the subtle improvements to the unique seasonal star charts that present a 360-degree simulation of the night sky on one page and identify the stars and constellations on the facing page. Yet it is Dickinson''s clear, jargon-free language that will continue to inspire hundreds of thousands of people around the world to take up recreational astronomy. Much has happened in this popular hobby since the revised Fourth Edition of NightWatch was published in 2006. In response, the text has been substantially revised and updated throughout all 13 chapters. Moreover, the book has been completely redesigned and most of its many photographs have been replaced. A noted feature is the variety of superb astrophotos of star clusters, nebulas, galaxies and other celestial phenomena taken by accomplished amateur astronomers.

With an Introduction and Notes by Linda Dryden, Professor of English Literature at Edinburgh Napier University and the author of Joseph Conrad and H. G. Wells: The Fin-de Siecle-Literary Scene.At the end of the nineteenth century a stranger arrives in the Sussex countryside and mayhem ensues; in the sleepy county of Kent a miracle food brings biological chaos that engulfs and threatens the entire planet. H. G. Wells''s fertile and mercurial imagination never brought us more bizarre and unsettling stories than those revealed in The Invisible Man (1897) and The Food of the Gods, and How It Came to Earth (1904). These are stories of extraordinary physical transformations and are at once extremely funny and richly imaginative. At the same time, Wells poses some very probing questions about the ethical dimensions to science and the human capacity for both pity and cruelty. Brought together for the first time in this new Wordsworth edition, The Invisible Man and The Food of the Gods are two of Wells''s most entertaining and thought-provoking works.

What’s the harm in a pseudonym? Bestselling sensation Juniper Song is not who she says she is, she didn’t write the book she claims she wrote, and she is most certainly not Asian American—in this chilling and hilariously cutting novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author R. F. Kuang in the vein of White Ivy and The Other Black Girl. Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I. So what if June edits Athena’s novel and sends it to her agent as her own work? So what if she lets her new publisher rebrand her as Juniper Song—complete with an ambiguously ethnic author photo? Doesn’t this piece of history deserve to be told, whoever the teller? That’s what June claims, and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A brilliantly imaginative epic fantasy debut, inspired by the bloody history of China’s twentieth century and filled with treachery and magic. When Rin aced the Keju – the test to find the most talented students in the Empire – it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who had hoped to get rich by marrying her off; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free from a life of servitude. That she got into Sinegard – the most elite military school in Nikan – was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Fighting the prejudice of rival classmates, Rin discovers that she possesses a lethal, unearthly power – an aptitude for the nearly-mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of psychoactive substances and a seemingly insane teacher, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive – and that mastering these powers could mean more than just surviving school.

''The creatures I had seen were not men, had never been men. They were animals, humanised animals...''A shipwrecked Edward Prendick finds himself stranded on a remote Noble island, the guest of a notorious scientist, Doctor Moreau. Disturbed by the cries of animals in pain, and by his encounters with half-bestial creatures, Edward slowly realises his danger and the extremes of the Doctor''s experiments.Saturated in pain and disgust, suffused with grotesque and often unbearable images of torture and bodily mutilation, The Island of Doctor Moreau is unquestionably a shocking novel. It is also a serious, and highly knowledgeable, philosophical engagement with Wells''s times, with their climate of scientific openness and advancement, but also their anxieties about the ethical nature of scientific discoveries, and their implications for religion. Darryl Jones''s introduction places the book in both its scientific and literary context; with the Origin of Species and Gulliver''s Travels, and argues that The Island of Doctor Moreau is, like all of Wells''s best fiction, is fundamentally a novel of ideas

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics."That these man-like creatures were in truth only bestial monsters, mere grotesque travesties of men, filled me with a vague uncertainty of their possibilities far worse than any definite fear."Edward Prendick, the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the South Pacific, is set ashore on an island where he meets the mysterious Doctor Moreau. Horrified by the discovery that Moreau is performing vivisection on animals to form monstrous human hybrids, Prendick flees into the jungle. But he soon realises that the island is populated with Moreau's terrible creations, and not all are divested of their savage habits . . .H. G. Wells pioneered ideas of society, science and progress in his works, which are now considered modern classics. Written in 1896, The Island of Doctor Moreau is an imaginative exploration of the nature of cruelty and what it means to be human.
