Temný psychologický thriller, který byl ještě před vydáním prodán do více než 30 zemí po celém světě a jehož autorem je úspěšný spisovatel, vystupující pod pseudonymem J. P. Delaney. EMMA se snaží vzpamatovat z traumatického přepadení a se snoubencem hledá místo, kde by mohla začít nový život. Ovšem žádný z bytů, které navštíví, pro ni není cenově dostupný – anebo se v něm necítí bezpečně. Dokud nenavštíví ten dům na Folgate Street. Je to mistrovské architektonické dílo – minimalistický design ze světlého kamene a skla se vzdušnými, otevřenými prostory. Ten dům má ovšem také svá pravidla. Tajemný architekt, který ho projektoval pro svou rodinu, má totiž pro nájemníky celou řadu nařízení a restrikcí – nesmí mít např. žádné knihy, ozdobné polštáře či jiné dekorativní předměty, dokonce ani fotografie. Tenhle prostor má totiž své nájemníky změnit – a také to udělá. JANE prožila osobní tragédii a také ona potřebuje nový začátek. Když objeví dům na Folgate Street, okamžitě ji uchvátí – stejně jako jeho sice trochu odměřený, ale přitažlivý tvůrce. Brzy po nastěhování se však Jane dozvídá o záhadném předčasném úmrtí předchozí nájemnice – ženě, která byla Jane podobná jak vzhledem, tak věkem. Čím více se Jane snaží v onom příběhu rozlišit pravdu od lží, tím více je nucena podřídit se stejným pravidlům, dělat stejná rozhodnutí, stýkat se s těmi samými lidmi a zažívat stejný teror jako ta předešlá…

Over seventy years since his premature death, George Orwell (1903-50) has become one of the most significant figures in western literature. His two dystopian masterpieces, Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) have together sold over 40 million copies. Even now, he continues to exert a decisive influence on our understanding of international power-politics.D.J. Taylor's new biography, the first full-length study for 20 years, draws on a wide range of previously unseen material - newly-discovered letters to old girlfriends and professional colleagues, the recollections of the dwindling band of people who remember him, new information about his life in the early 1930s - to produce a definitive portrait of this complex, driven and self-mythologising man.

The running joke in Europe for centuries was that anyone in a hurry to die should call the doctor. As far back as ancient Greece, physicians were notorious for administering painful and often fatal treatments – and charging for the privilege. For the most effective treatment, the ill and injured went to the women in their lives. This system lasted hundreds of years. It was gone in less than a century.Contrary to the familiar story, medication did not improve during the Scientific Revolution. Yet somehow, between 1650 and 1740, the domestic female and the physician switched places in the cultural consciousness: she became the ineffective, potentially dangerous quack, he the knowledgeable, trustworthy expert. The professionals normalized the idea of paying them for what people already got at home without charge, laying the foundation for Big Pharma and today’s global for-profit medication system.A revelatory history of medicine, The Apothecary’s Wife challenges the myths of the triumph of science and instead uncovers the fascinating truth. Drawing on a vast body of archival material, Karen Bloom Gevirtz depicts the extraordinary cast of characters who brought about this transformation. She also explores domestic medicine’s values in responses to modern health crises, such as the eradication of smallpox, and what benefits we can learn from these events.

A NEW YORK TIMES AND NEW YORKER BOOK OF THE YEARA New York Times bestseller, the incredible true story of a couple that escaped slavery in the South and eventually made their way to the UK, Africa and beyond. The remarkable true story of Ellen and William Craft, who escaped slavery through daring, determination, and disguise, with Ellen passing as a wealthy, disabled White man and William posing as "his" slave. In 1848, a year of international democratic revolt, a young, enslaved couple, Ellen and William Craft, achieved one of the boldest feats of self-emancipation in history.Posing as master and slave, while sustained by their love as husband and wife, they made their escape together across more than 1,000 miles, riding steamboats, carriages, and trains that took them from bondage in Georgia to the free states of the North. Along the way, they dodged slave traders, military officers, and even friends of their enslavers, who might have revealed their true identities. The tale of their adventure soon made them celebrities, and generated headlines around the country.Audiences could not get enough of this charismatic young couple, who travelled the country drawing thunderous applause as they spoke alongside some of the greatest abolitionists of the day. But even then, they were not out of danger. With the passage of an infamous new Fugitive Slave Act in 1850, all Americans became accountable for returning refugees like the Crafts to slavery.Then yet another adventure began, as the Crafts fled to England to embark upon a new life. With three epic journeys compressed into one monumental bid for freedom, Master Slave Husband Wife recounts both a ground-breaking quest for liberty and justice, and an unforgettable love story.

Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work ‘Elizabeth and Her German Garden’, published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as ‘Elizabeth’ meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.

Přes bolestnou ztrátu se markrabě nevzdal a v drsné oblasti Krušných hor nadále zůstal. Mizí další ženy, obavy prostého lidu sílí a snahy o vytvoření prosperujícího panství se pomalu hroutí. V zoufalém pokusu o jeho udržení Egbert povolá na pomoc Heřmana z Týnce, rytíře s ostrým mečem i rozumem, známého svými vyšetřovacími schopnostmi i nezkrotným temperamentem. Po příjezdu z dalekých Benátek si Heřman najímá k ruce bystrého sirotka Mikeše a okamžitě se pouští do práce. Během nelehkého vyšetřování postupně odhaluje děsivé tajemství, jehož zrůdnost otřese i otrlým křižákem. Jaké tajemství skrývají temné hvozdy Krušných hor? Kdo je vrahem a co ho vede k tak brutálním činům? A jakou roli v temném příběhu sehraje otec Bartoloměj, pokorný služebník Boží?

Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador BooksIf a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self – himself – he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it. In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents. If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human. A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

A spectacular, vivid, groundbreaking work of history which takes us into the minds and lives of medieval women.What was life really like for women in the medieval period? How did they think about sex, death and God? Could they live independent lives? And how can we hear the stories of women from this period?Few women had the luxury of writing down their thoughts and feelings during medieval times. But remarkably, there are at least four extraordinary women who did. Those women were: Marie de France, a poet; Julian of Norwich, a mystic and anchoress; Christine de Pizan, a widow and court writer; and Margery Kempe, a "no-good wife". In their own ways these four very different writers pushed back against the misogyny of the period. Each of them broke new ground in womenâs writing and left us incredible insights into the world of medieval life and politics.Hetta Howes has spent her working life uncovering these womenâs stories to give us a valuable and unique historical biography of their lives that challenges what we hold to be common knowledge about medieval women in Europe. Women did earn money, they could live independent lives, and they thought, loved, fought and suffered just as we do today.This mesmerising book is an unforgettably lively and immersive journey into the everyday lives of medieval women through the stories of these four iconic women writers, some of which are retold here for general readers for the first time.

"This fine collection of short stories gives an example of experienced writing and deep feeling of the situation of mankind. The themes and styles oscillate between fantastic horror, kafkaesque absurdity, surrealism or even a tragic love story. It is a journey over half of our world: from the communist Czechoslovakia over to Russia and eventually North America, both USA and Canada. The author's language and approach succeeds in narrating even the bleak events with irony and humour."
