Skvělý příběh o ctižádosti, žárlivosti, touze a nadpřirozené moci… Victor a Eli, dva samotáři, kteří se poznali na studiích, brzy zjistí, že je pojí společná vášeň k nebezpečí a zážitkům blízkým smrti a také že při vhodných příležitostech dokážou dobře rozvíjet své mimořádné schopnosti, dokud se jim jejich odvaha nevymkne z rukou. Victor po deseti letech utíká z vězení a za pomoci mladé dívky hledá svého dávného kamaráda, zatímco Eli pokračuje ve své misi zbavit se všech dalších nadpřirozených bytostí až na svou tajemnou a nepřemožitelnou pomocnici. Oba poháněni vzpomínkou na zradu a prohru jsou k nezastavení, ale kdo nakonec vyvázne se zdravou kůží? V Neobyčejných autorka přichází s drsným komiksově laděným příběhem, který vás zavede do světa, kde získaná nadpřirozená moc nemusí nutně vést k hrdinství a kde se na spojenectví příliš nehraje. Budete svědky fascinující charakterové studie, která vás donutí přemýšlet o tom, co znamená být hrdinou nebo zločincem, a zda je mezi nimi nějaký jasně definovatelný rozdíl.

Svět je, zdá se, zachráněn, dobrodruh Kell, jeho poloviční bratr Rhy a zlodějka Delilah Bardová si lízají rány po drtivém střetu se zlem. V tomto ještě temnějším pokračování Temnější tváře magie se dostáváme ještě hlouběji do autorčina čtyřbarevného světa a poznáváme jeho svérázné obyvatele. Londýny se chystají na mezinárodní kouzelnické hry, hlavně ten červený, ale o slovo se nejspíš opět hlásí i Londýn černý: z každé skončené noci se rodí nové stíny a začínají tropit neplechu. Že by to byli dávní zemřelí, kteří by si také chtěli zasoutěžit o cenu pro největšího mága? To by musely dodržovat pravidla fair-play! Ale jejich zájmy se zdají být jiné a kouzlo, které, je řídí, je mnohanásobně zlovolnější, hrozí totiž zničit každý z barevných Londýnů, ve kterém to ještě trochu žije.

Kdysi existovaly čtyři světy, naskládané na sebe jako stránky v knize. Kypěly magickou mocí a spojovalo je jedno město: Londýn. Pak se však magie začala šířit až příliš prudce a světy se v zoufalé snaze se ochránit oddělily a zapečetily dveře. Otevřít je dokázali jen mágové zvaní Antari, ale ti byli stále vzácnější. V posledních letech byli známí pouze tři - Kell Maresh z Červeného Londýna, Delilah Bardová z Šedého a Holland Vosijk z Bílého.Teď po nich však už sedm let nebylo skoro ani vidu, ani slechu - zato v Bílém Londýně se objevila nová Antari jménem Kosika a usedla v Hollandově nepřítomnosti na trůn. Mladičká královna je ochotná prolévat pro své město krev - svých poddaných i svou vlastní - ale její náboženský zápal se stále stupňuje a hrozí, že by mohl město utopit.V Červeném Londýně mezitím král Rhy Maresh čelí počínajícímu povstání rebelů, kteří jsou odhodlaní nastolit rovnováhu moci tak, že ho svrhnou z trůnu.Mezi starými přáteli a novými nepřáteli se však objeví ještě dívka s neobvyklými magickými schopnostmi a zmocní se přístroje, který by mohl změnit osud všech čtyř světů. Jmenuje se Tes a je to právě ona, kdo může světy spojit - anebo je navždy zničit.

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates-brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in one another. A shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death-experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. They become EOs, ExtraOrdinaries, leaving a body in their wake and turning on each other. Ten years later Victor has escaped from prison and is determined to get his revenge on the man who put him there, aided by a young girl with the ability to raise the dead. Eli has spent the years hunting down and killing every EO he can find, convinced that they are a crime against God, all except his sidekick, a woman whose power is persuasion and whom he cannot defy. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge-but who will be left alive at the end?

Od toho dne, co se Cassidy málem utopila (no, ona se vlastně utopila, ale nerada na to vzpomíná), dokáže odtáhnout Závoj, který odděluje živé od mrtvých... a vstoupit do světa duchů. Dokonce její nejlepší kamarád Jacob je duch. Už tak je její situace dost na pováženou. A to se ještě zhorší. Když se její rodiče pustí do natáčení televizního pořadu o nejstrašidelnějších místech na světě, zamíří všichni i s Jacobem do skotského Edinburghu, kde se místní hřbitovy, hrady a tajné uličky jen hemží neklidnými duchy. A tehdy Cassidy potká Laru, dívku, která má stejný dar jako ona, a zjistí, že se toho má o Závoji - a sama o sobě - ještě hodně co učit. A bude se muset učit rychle, protože Město duchů je daleko nebezpečnější, než by myslela.

Dokonce její nejlepší kamarád Jacob je duch.

A tehdy Cassidy potká Laru, dívku, která má stejný dar jako ona, a zjistí, že se toho má o Závoji - a sama o sobě - ještě hodně co učit. Později Cass se svými rodiči (a samozřejmě i nejlepším kamarádem, duchem Jacobem) zamíří do Paříže. Bylo by fajn jíst jeden croissant za druhým a užívat si výhled z Eiffelovky, kdyby v podzemních katakombách nečíhalo děsivé nebezpečí. I když už má Cass pocit, že lovení duchů celkem zvládá, překvapil ji New Orleans, který svá strašidelná místa vystavuje přímo na odiv. Ve městě plném staré magie, duchařských atrakcí, tajuplných kobek a nespoutané hudby se Cass propadá do děsivých příběhů doslova na každém kroku. A za tím vším číhá protivník, o kterém nikdy netušila, že mu bude muset čelit: služebník samotné Smrti. Před Cassidy stojí zatím její nejnebezpečnější výzva… a před jejím přátelstvím s Jacobem také.

Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Into which mirror must she look to find herself and save herself? She is searching for a new face in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, which professes to be a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves between these two cities, disoriented by the fact that, whether high or low, the city seems to offer no answer and no escape. Elena Ferrante is unsurpassed in her ability to draw readers into her books from the very first page and she proves this again with The Lying Life of Adults, pulling us into what the Italian trade magazine Il libraio described as 'not a mere story but an entire world.' The millions of readers who found themselves addicted to My Brilliant Friend and the Neapolitan quartet will find that this new novel has the same addictive, do-not-disturb-I'm-reading qualities.

A lively new biography of Tutankhamun―published for the hundredth anniversary of his tomb’s modern discovery The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922 sparked imaginations across the globe. While Howard Carter emptied its treasures, Tut-mania gripped the world―and in many ways, never left. But who was the “boy king,” and what was his life really like? Garry J. Shaw tells the full story of Tutankhamun’s reign and his modern rediscovery. As pharaoh, Tutankhamun had to manage an empire, navigate influential courtiers, and suffer the pain of losing at least two children―all before his nineteenth birthday. Shaw explores the boy king’s treasures and possessions, from a lock of his grandmother’s hair to a reed cut with his own hands. He looks too at Ankhesenamun, Tutankhamun’s wife, and the power queens held. This is a compelling new biography that weaves together intriguing details about ancient Egyptian culture, its beliefs, and its place in the wider world.

During WW2 there was a rumour that German spies were landing by parachute in Britain, dressed as nuns...Conradin Muller was an unusual spy. He was recruited in Hamburg in June 1943, much against his will, and sent on his first, and only, mission in late September that year. He failed to send a single report back to Germany, and when the War came to an end in May 1945, he fell to his knees and wept with relief.From a highly reluctant German spy who is drawn to an East Anglian nunnery as his only means of escape, to the strange tale of one of the Cambridge spy ring's adventures with a Russian dwarf, these are Alexander McCall Smith's intriguing and typically inventive stories from the world of espionage.

Secrecy came naturally to John le Carré, and there were some secrets that he fought fiercely to keep. Nowhere was this more so than in his private life. Apparently content in his marriage, the novelist conducted a string of love affairs over four decades.To keep these relationships secret, he made use of tradecraft that he had learned as a spy: code names and cover stories, cut outs, safe houses and dead letter boxes. Such affairs introduced both jeopardy and excitement into what was otherwise a quiet, ordered life. Le Carré seemed to require the stimulus they provided in order to write, though this meant deceiving those closest to him.It is no coincidence that betrayal became a recurrent theme in his work. Adam Sisman's definitive biography, published in 2015, revealed much about the elusive spy-turned-novelist; yet le Carré was adamant that some subjects should remain hidden, at least during his lifetime. The Secret Life of John le Carré is the story of what was left out, and offers reflections on the difficult relationship between biographer and subject.More than that, it adds a necessary coda to the life and work of this complex, driven, restless man. The Secret Life of John le Carré reveals a hitherto-hidden perspective on the life and work of the spy-turned-author and a fascinating meditation on the complex relationship between biographer and subject.

It was an act of courage, as THE SNOWBALL makes immensely clear. Being human, his own life, like most lives, has been a mix of strengths and frailties. Yet notable though his wealth may be, Buffett's legacy will not be his ranking on the scorecard of wealth; it will be his principles and ideas that have enriched people's lives.
