One of TIME Magazine s Most Anticipated Books of 2025 . One of LitHub s Most Anticipated Books of 2025. Acutely empathetic, thoroughly researched, funny, irreverent and moving Observer What a book! Has the lyricism and intelligence of a literary masterpiece, and the urgency of a thriller Marianne Levy, author of Don t Forget to Scream So interesting, astute and beautifully crafted. I loved it Lucy Jones, author of MatrescenceIn the summer of 2020, when Amanda Hess was pregnant for the first time, a routine ultrasound screening detected a mysterious abnormality in her baby. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, looking for answers online. But rather than allaying her anxieties, her search unleashed a destabilizing onslaught of data and technology, and she was vulnerable - more than ever - to conspiracy, myth, judgement, commerce and obsession. In Second Life, Hess tells her deeply personal story of a pregnancy that falls outside the fêted category of normal . But this is also a story about all of us. For as she made her way through a bizarre digital world of pregnancy apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, freebirth influencers and hospital reality shows, Hess realised that ideas of eugenics, surveillance, ableism and hyper-individualism are being sold through shiny technologies to a new generation of parents.At once funny, surreal and heartbreaking, Second Life asks compelling questions about how our most fundamental human experiences are fractured and reshaped by technology.

1978, Jonestown.909 dead—two children survive.Where are they now?In the shadow of one of history s darkest chapters, a chilling secret awaits...Two children, survivors of the Jonestown nightmare, fled through the treacherous jungles in Guyana to escape the madness. Upon their return to America, they were granted new identities, a fresh start, and the hope of a second life. But almost forty years later, the past resurfaces in an unexpected and ominous way. In the heart of San Francisco, crime reporter Will Finch stumbles upon an abandoned Armani jacket in an inner-city playground. Little does he know that this seemingly innocuous discovery holds a cryptic message, one that threatens to shatter the lives of Will Finch and his partner Eve Noon — and make them the next victims of the Jonestown massacre.Inspired by true events, Second Life will grip you from the very first page and refuse to let go until you reach the final, heart-pounding sentence. D.F. Bailey masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue and suspense that catapults you on a mesmerizing journey from an historic catastrophe to a prophecy of mass annihilation.Second Life — where the past awakens, and the future teeters on the precipice of darkness.Author Q A with D. F. BaileyQ: Your title, Second Life, hints at something more than a dreary 9-to-5 existence. How does it fit into your thriller series?DFB: The title is derived from an ancient quote by Confucius: “We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.” When I first read that sentence, I thought, now here s a different way of looking at things. It really struck me with its insight. When you consider our brief life here on Earth, this sort of awareness can inspire people to take up a cause. For good—or for evil. So I drew my title from it since it suggests a noir murder mystery.Q: You’re known for your crime fiction series and psychological thrillers with a twist. How do they relate to the Jonestown disaster?DFB: Until 9-11 the Jonestown massacre marked the largest civilian slaughter in American history. It took place in South America, in a remote jungle in Guyana, but the victims were mostly Americans, followers of Jim Jones’s Temple which was once based in San Francisco. Some argue that the event wasn’t a massacre—that it was mass suicide—but over a third of the victims were children led to their deaths by their utterly deluded parents. The trite phrase, “They drank the Kool-Aid,” is their enduring legacy. It serves to warn us of the malignant power of religious cults.Q: And two of those children escaped?DFB: That’s the fictional premise. I wanted to explore what might happen to children who survived the disaster on November 18, 1978. That’s where Will Finch comes in. If you’ve read the first three books in the series you know that Finch is not a superhero. However, he’s smart, tough, determined. Bent, but not broken.Q: Other than Will Finch and Eve Noon, do any characters from the previous novels appear in Second Life?DFB: Absolutely. Fiona Page and Wally Gimbel are alive and kicking. And Gabe Finkleman, who was introduced in Lone Hunter, is now a rising force at the San Francisco eXpress.Q: I thought the first three books—Bone Maker, Stone Eater, and Lone Hunter—formed a trilogy. Does Second Life change your mystery and suspense series books into a quartet?DFB: No, the trilogy stands as a complete, three-part unit. Second Life is the first of what I hope will be a continuing thriller series that builds on the characters introduced in the trilogy. If you liked the trilogy, I think you’ll enjoy Second Life, too.

V roce 1920 vyšly pod titulem Klingsor poprvé tři povídky Hermanna Hesseho, pozdějšího nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu. Na první pohled se jeví dosti různorodé, a přece mají jedno společné: vztah k expresionismu. Povídka Klein a Wagner je patrně autorovým nejexpresionističtějším textem, rozdvojením hrdiny se do ní promítá Hesseho zkušenost s psychoanalýzou i nevole k měšťáckému světu. V Dětské duši reflektuje Hesse z pohledu dospělého zážitek z vlastního dětství. V povídce Klingsorovo poslední léto se bezesporu odrazila velká změna, která se udála v Hesseho životě: Jeho první žena Maria Bernoulli byla trvale hospitalizována pro schizofrenii, manželství se rozpadlo, Hesse byl propuštěn z oddělení péče o válečné zajatce, Německo ovládl zhoubný nacionalismus a Hesse přesídlil do slunné Montagnoly ve švýcarském kantonu Ticino, kde našel nejen nový domov, ale i novou lásku k malířce a zpěvačce Ruth Wengerové. Prostřednictvím hlavní postavy, osamělého malíře, Hesse zkoumá umělectví jako možnost a způsob existence. Klingsor vyděšený blížící se smrtí se snaží prožít zbývající čas co nejlépe a nejradostněji, cele se oddává umění, noci tráví u vína a v náručí žen. Povídka vrcholí Klingsorovým posledním uměleckým počinem, autoportrétem, který jako by byl zpodobněním mnoha tváří. Hernann Hesse (1877-1962) je nejvydávanějším německým autorem 20. století, mnohá jeho díla dosáhla milionových nákladů. Intenzita jeho působení se po 2. světové válce výrazně zvyšovala od 50. let nejprve v Koreji a v Japonsku, posléze v 60. a 70. letech obzvláště v USA. Pro mladou generaci se Hesse nechtěně stal jakýmsi guru, mladí z něho čerpali inspiraci pro svůj boj proti autoritám, pro odmítání utilitárnosti západní civilizace, přejímali jeho intenzivní vztah k přírodě, k východním filozofiím a náboženstvím atd. Hesse však v podstatě nikdy neopustil svou křesťanskožidovskou orientaci a dalšími vlivy ji pouze obohacoval.

An insight into the life and mind of an icon of American art through the diaries of sculptor Eva Hesse. â ˜I open my new book. What will you tell for the next year. To bring forth a new chapter of wisdom, hopes, joys fears. I shall be honest with myself; and therewith SUCCEED.â ™ These lines open Eva Hesseâ ™s 1955 diary and lay out the task of her writing. In between weekly to-do lists and personal musings, Hesse used her diaries as a space to process her experience of the world and to reckon with what it means to be an artist. In this extensive collection of Hesseâ ™s diaries, recorded from 1955 to 1970, readers are given an intimate glimpse into the mind of one of contemporary sculptureâ ™s most prominent figures. Despite personal tragedies and the difficulties she faced as one of the few female artists in the male-dominated postminimalist movement, Hesse remained intrepid in both her life and craft. Composed of twisted ropes and delicate plastic among other unconventional materials, Hesseâ ™s sculptures defy traditional notions of form; her deeply thoughtful practice as a sculptor and a painter are revealed at length in her writing.

Žádný německý autor 20. století nenadchl více čtenářů než Hermann Hesse. Jeho dílo je součástí světové literatury. Renomovaný novinář Heimo Schwilk napsal skvělý životopis básníka, který žil stejně intenzivně a rozporuplně jako hrdinové jeho románů. Kniha o propastech rozervané osobnosti, o krizích a triumfech, o lásce a jejím selhání. Hermann Hesse zemřel 9. srpna 1962 ve věku 85 let. Zanechal dílo čítající bezmála 40 titulů vydávaných po celém světě v úctyhodných 125 miliónech exemplářů. Jen v zemích německé jazykové oblasti se prodalo téměř 25 miliónů jeho knih. Dosud byla publikována přibližně sedmina z jeho 35 000 dopisů. Hesseho recenze obsahují pět svazků, sekundární literatura k jeho životu a dílu plní celé regály. Od jeho smrti byly vydány nesčetné svazky s materiály k jeho tvorbě. Navzdory této široké bázi pramenů překvapuje základní tón utvářených soudů, který se v posledních desetiletích téměř nezměnil. Kdo se Hermannem Hessem zabývá, narazí záhy na celou řadu klišé, kterými se lidé pokouší vysvětlit iritující, ba přímo nesmírný úspěch tohoto autora. Hesse je podle těchto soudů básník mládeže a protestu, buřič proti jakékoli autoritě a zastánce maximálního individualismu. Jeho fenomenální úspěch v USA v období války ve Viet­namu se přičítá hluboce pacifistickému charakteru jeho humanis­mu inspirovaného Dálným východem. Masové rozšíření jeho knih v Japonsku, Číně a Koreji se vysvětluje jeho funkcí prostředníka mezi kulturami. V Německu je vnímán na jedné straně jako ostýchavý, schizoidní out­sider (Stepní vlk), na druhé straně jako osvícený kritik ,černé pedagogiky‘ (Pod koly). Pomáhají však taková klišé fenomén Hesse opravdu pochopit? Je jeho komplexní, fascinující dílo skutečně výrazem veskrze anarchistické povahy? Je načase ukázat, co je vlastně na Hermannu Hessem tak fascinující.

A modernist work of profound wisdom that continues to enthral readers with its subtle blend of Eastern mysticism and Western culture, the Penguin Modern Classics edition of Hermann Hesse s Steppenwolf is revised by Walter Sorell from the original translation by Basil Creighton.At first sight Harry Haller seems a respectable, educated man. In reality he is the Steppenwolf: wild, strange, alienated from society and repulsed by the modern age. But as he is drawn into a series of dreamlike and sometimes savage encounters - accompanied by, among others, Mozart, Goethe and the bewitching Hermione - the misanthropic Haller discovers a higher truth, and the possibility of happiness. This blistering portrayal of a man who feels himself to be half-human and half-wolf was the bible of the 1960s counterculture, capturing the mood of a disaffected generation, and remains a haunting story of estrangement and redemption.Herman Hesse (1877 - 1962) suffered from depression and weathered series of personal crises which led him to undergo psychoanalysis with J. B. Lang; a process which resulted in Demian (1919), a novel whose main character is torn between the orderliness of bourgeois existence and the turbulent and enticing world of sensual experience. This dichotomy is prominent in Hesse s subsequent novels, including Siddhartha (1922), Steppenwolf (1927), Narcissus and Goldmund (1930) and his magnum opus, The Glass Bead Game (1943). Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946.If you enjoyed Steppenwolf, you might like Hesse s Siddhartha, also available in Penguin Classics.

One of his masterpieces . . . without doubt a great novel GuardianOne of Hermann Hesse s greatest novels, Narcissus and Goldmund is an extraordinary recreation of the Middle Ages, contrasting the careers of two friends, one of whom shuns life in a monastery and goes on the road, tangled in the extremes of life in a world dominated by sin, plague and war, the other staying in the monastery and struggling, with equal difficulty, to lead a life of spiritual denial.An superb feat of imagination, Narcissus and Goldmund can only be compared to such films set in medieval Europe as Bergman s The Seventh Seal and Tarkovsky s Andrei Rublev. It is a gripping, profound reading experience - as startling, in its different way, as Hesse s Siddhartha and Steppenwolf.

No one gets to the heart of human relationships quite so perceptively as Brookfield The Mirror In the weeks that followed, Jane did her best not to think about anything very much. Usually, it worked. But every so often she would freeze, and tremble at the terrifying realisation that she wanted to leave her husband. While many regard her marriage with admiration and a touch of envy, Jane Lytton quietly reaches the shocking conclusion that her relationship with Michael, a successful banker with little time for her â “ or the nitty-gritty of family life â “ is failing. Even daring to contemplate leaving Michael is daunting. With no obvious outward signs of any marital problems, family and friends greet news of the predicament with a mixture of anger and uncomprehending sympathy. Forced to accept that she is alone, Jane takes drastic steps that veer her life off course.

Audiokniha: Na borůvkových polích v Maine se ztratí čtyřletá holčička a její záhadné zmizení bude pronásledovat pozůstalé, rozvrátí rodinu a zůstane nevyřešeno téměř padesát let… Červenec 1962. Rodina Mikmaků z Nového Skotska přijíždí do Maine, aby zde přes léto sbírala borůvky. O několik týdnů později zmizí čtyřletá Ruthie, nejmladší dítě rodiny.

These poems glimmer with a white-hot beauty that is hard won, and that sings Sarah RuhlPatient is a normal appearing woman in no obvious distress.On an ordinary day, out with her three-year-old in the park, Amanda Quaid received a life-changing call - the back pain she had been living with for years was actually a rare and aggressive form of cancer. In an instant, life became a series of sterile rooms, medical charts and body-altering treatments which completely upend Amanda s marriage, work and family life as she knows it.Poetry became a lifeline for Amanda, a form to organize the chaos and pain of day-to-day life into order and beauty. In inventive and arresting poems that explore desire, marriage, motherhood and mortality, No Obvious Distress is a powerful memoir-in-verse about Amanda s unique experience. But it is also a tender, witty and universal collection that asks how we can continue to live and love in times of uncertainty.
