Odejít z muzea nevšedních exponátů P. T. Barnuma bude těžší než opustit moře. Byla jednou jedna mořská panna, která se jmenovala Amelia. Toužila poznat svět lidí, pochopit jejich duše a srdce, a tak se rozhodla, že půjde žít na souš. Byl jednou jeden muž, který se jmenoval P. T. Barnum, muž, jenž toužil vydělat jmění na dechberoucích a neuvěřitelných věcech, které fascinovaly tehdejší společnost. A taková mořská panna byla víc než fascinující. Amelia souhlasí, že se stane hlavní hvězdou Barnumových show, rozhodne se, že prozradí svou identitu a dá lidem, co chtějí. Naivně si myslí, že bude moci odejít, kdykoli bude chtít. Barnum se ale mořské panny jen tak nevzdá. Amelia poznává, že lidský svět není tak úžasný, jaký si ho vysnila, přesto ji v něm potká i láska. Zamiluje se a touží po klidném rodinném životě. Podaří se jí utéct od Barnuma, před náboženskými fanatiky, nebo bude muset otročit jako exponát v muzeu až do konce svých dnů? Historická pohádka inspirovaná skutečnou událostí: P. T.

But something is terribly wrong - their new home is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside .. . Neither Will nor Karen are prepared to face the consequences of this impossibility until the day their two small children wandered off, and their voices eerily began to tell another story - of creature darkness, of an ever-growing abyss behind a closet door, and of that unholy growl which soon enough would tear through their walls and consume all their dreams and create nightmares.What happened next is loosely recorded on videotapes and interviews, and impelled an eccentric old man to compile - on loose sheets of paper, stained napkins, crammed notebooks - a definitive account of what took place at Ash Tree Lane that seems to unveil a thrilling and terrifying history. Because these scraps prove to be far more than the deranged ramblings of a reclusive old man . .. Immensely imaginative. Impossible to put down.Impossible to forget.

Three years later, Anna is a starving artist living paycheck to paycheck while West is a Stanford professor. He may be one of four heirs to the Weston Foods conglomerate, but he has little interest in working for the heartless corporation his family built from the ground up.He is interested, however, in his one-hundred-million-dollar inheritance.

Issa has brilliantly illuminated the history of a great city'Literary ReviewA city drawn in sand. Inspired by the tales of Homer and his own ambitions of empire, Alexander the Great sketched the idea of a city onto the sparsely populated Egyptian coastline. He did not live to see Alexandria built, but his vision of a sparkling metropolis that celebrated learning and diversity was swiftly realised and still stands today.Situated on the cusp of Africa, Europe and Asia, great civilisations met in Alexandria. Together, Greeks and Egyptians, Romans and Jews created a global knowledge capital of enormous influence: the inventive collaboration of its citizens shaped modern philosophy, science, religion and more. In pitched battles, later empires, from the Arabs and Ottomans to the French and British, laid claim to the city but its independent spirit endures.In this sweeping biography of the great city, Islam Issa takes us on a journey across millennia, rich in big ideas, brutal tragedies and distinctive characters, from Cleopatra to Napoleon. From its humble origins to dizzy heights and present-day strife, Alexandria tells the gripping story of a city that has shaped our modern world.

Recommended on The Rest is Politics and Empire''A masterly engagement with the most delicate and important of subjects - filled with gentle empathy, learning and rare balance'' Rory Stewart''Rogerson is an original - eloquent and always fascinating'' William Dalrymple''Brilliant'' Anita Anand''This is not a book to be ignored'' The TimesAt the heart of the Middle East, with its regional conflicts and proxy wars, is a 1400-year-old schism between Sunni and Shia. To understand this divide and its modern resonances, we need to revisit its origins, which go back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, the accidental coup that set aside the claims of his son Ali, and the slaughter of Ali''s own son Husayn at Kerbala. These events, known to every Muslim, have created a slender faultline in the Middle East. The House Divided follows these narratives from the first Sunni and Shia caliphates, through the medieval caliphates and empires of the Arabs, Persians and Ottomans, to the contemporary Middle East. It shows how a complex range of identities and rivalries - religious, ethnic and national - have shaped the region, jolted by the seismic shift of the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Rogerson''s original approach takes the modern chessboard of nation states and looks at each through its particular history of empires and occupiers, minorities and resources, sheikhs and imams. The result is a book of wide-ranging empathy, understanding and insights.

As the Second World War enters its final stages, millions in Germany are forced from their homes by bombing, compelled to seek shelter in the countryside where there are barely the resources to feed them.Twelve-year-old Luisa, her mother, and her older sister Billie have escaped the devastation of the city for the relative safety of a dairy farm. But even here the power struggles of the war play out: the family depend on the goodwill of Luisa’s brother-in-law, an SS officer, who in expectation of payment turns his attention away from his wife and towards Billie. Luisa immerses herself in books, but even she notices the Allied bombers flying east above them, the gauntness of the prisoners at the camp nearby, the disappearance of fresh-faced boys from the milk shed – hastily shipped off to a war that’s already lost.Living on the farm teaches Luisa about life and death, but it’s man’s capacity for violence that provides the ultimate lesson, that robs her of her innocent ignorance. When, at a birthday celebration, her worst fears are realized, Luisa collapses under the weight of the inexplicable.Ralf Rothmann’s previous novel, To Die in Spring, described the horror of war and the damage done on the battlefield. The God of that Summer tells the devastating story of civilians caught up in the chaos of defeat, of events that might lead a twelve-year-old child to justifiably say: ‘I have experienced everything.’
