Kriminální román britského novináře Stuarta Turtona se dá popsat, jako když Agatha Christie potká Davida Mitchella a Claire North. Muž se probudí v lese a pamatuje si pouze jediné jméno: Anna. Byl svědkem vraždy v lese a nyní přichází k luxusnímu, leč rozpadajícímu se okázalému sídlu Blackheath, kde se brzy od tajemného hosta převlečeného za lékaře léčícího mor dozví, že jediný způsob, jak může uniknout dni, který se opakuje znovu a znovu, je vyřešit důmyslnou vraždu. Má to jeden háček: každý den se probudí v těle jiného podezřelého - což mu ale na druhou stranu umožňuje komunikovat se svými bývalými i budoucími já. Ale ne každé jeho já mu chce pomoct... Ale náš hrdina brzy zjistí, že není sám, kdo chce chytit vraha a uniknout z Blackheath. Ale kdo je to Anna a proč má nutkání ji najít? A co ho přivedlo na Blackheath? A kdo u všech čertů zabil Evelyn Hardcastlovou? Kdesi nalevo ode mě zapraskají větvičky. Přestanu dýchat, ze všech sil napínám uši. Pak ten zvuk přijde znovu: kroky, co drtí listy a větve, kroužící kdesi za mými zády. Krev mi ztuhne v žilách, zastavím se, jako by do mě uhodilo. Neodvažuji se ohlédnout přes rameno.

'You don't read this book, you live it' Erin Kelly 'Holds the reader under a spell from start to finish' O, the Oprah Magazine 'If you're going through Elena Ferrante withdrawals, this is the book for you' Harper's Bazaar If Stella Fortuna means 'lucky star,' then life must have a funny sense of humour. Everybody in the Fortuna family knows the story of how the beautiful, fiercely independent Stella, who refused to learn to cook and who swore she would never marry, has escaped death time and time again. From her childhood in Italy, to her adulthood in America, death has seemed to pursue Stella. She has been burned, eviscerated and bludgeoned; she has choked, nearly fallen out of a window, and on one occasion, her life was only saved by a typo. However, even the best-known stories still have secrets to reveal . . . and even after a century, Stella's is no exception. No woman survives seven or eight deaths without a reason. So, how did she? In a tale which spans nine decades, two continents, and one family's darkest, deepest-buried truths, the answer awaits. . . _______________________________________ 'Witty and deeply-felt' Entertainment Weekly 'A sweeping story of immigration, family, betrayal and most importantly, one extraordinary woman. This book is gorgeous, harrowing and magical' Julie Cohen 'Fresh and intriguing' Sabine Durrant 'This is wonderful storytelling, seamlessly capturing the love and horror at the heart of family. Juliet Grames's novel . . . sits the reader down at a well-laden table, and offers a hugely satisfying feast' Mick Herron 'Delightfully easy to get lost in' New York Times Book Review

Marcus Sakey returns with his most ambitious novel, a captivating story of love and memory, where the only thing more frightening than the questions are the answers.A man wakes up naked and cold, half-drowned on an abandoned beach. The only sign of life for miles is an empty BMW. Inside the expensive car he finds clothes that fit perfectly, shoes for his tattered feet, a Rolex, and a bank envelope stuffed with cash and an auto registration in the name of Daniel Hayes, resident of Malibu, California.None of it is familiar.What is he doing here? How did he get into the ocean? Is he Daniel Hayes, and if so, why doesn't he remember? While he searches for answers, the world searches for him—beginning with the cops that kick in the door of his dingy motel, with guns drawn. Lost, alone, and on the run, the man who might be Daniel Hayes flees into the night.All he remembers is a woman's face, so he sets off for the only place he might find her. The fantasy of her becomes his home, his world, his hope. And maybe, just maybe, the way back to himself.But that raises the most chilling question of all: What will he find when he gets there?

Brideshead Revisited is Evelyn Waugh''s stunning novel of duty and desire set amongst the decadent, faded glory of the English aristocracy in the run-up to the Second World War.The most nostalgic and reflective of Evelyn Waugh''s novels, Brideshead Revisited looks back to the golden age before the Second World War. It tells the story of Charles Ryder''s infatuation with the Marchmains and the rapidly disappearing world of privilege they inhabit. Enchanted first by Sebastian Flyte at Oxford, then by his doomed Catholic family, in particular his remote sister, Julia, Charles comes finally to recognise his spiritual and social distance from them.Evelyn Waugh (1903-66) was born in Hampstead, second son of Arthur Waugh, publisher and literary critic, and brother of Alec Waugh, the popular novelist. In 1928 he published his first work, a life of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and his first novel, Decline and Fall, which was soon followed by Vile Bodies (1930), A Handful of Dust (1934) and Scoop (1938). In 1939 he was commissioned in the Royal Marines and later transferred to the Royal Horse Guards, serving in the Middle East and in Yugoslavia. In 1942 he published Put Out More Flags and then in 1945 Brideshead Revisited. Men at Arms (1952) was the first volume of ''The Sword of Honour'' trilogy, and won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize; the other volumes, Officers and Gentlemen and Unconditional Surrender, followed in 1955 and 1961.If you enjoyed Brideshead Revisited, you might like Waugh''s Vile Bodies, also available in Penguin Classics.''Lush and evocative ... Expresses at once the profundity of change and the indomitable endurance of the human spirit''The Times

A complete retrospective of the paper engineer and artist Matthew Shlian, documenting a decade of unrivalled and unexpected creativity Since its invention in c.100 BC, paper has been a cornerstone of civilization and a key component of the human experience. Artist Matthew Shlian has always recognized paper’s significance as a material for experimentation and understanding. In his hands, engineering, science and geometry can all be expressed within the medium of paper. Folded, tessellated, compressed, extrapolated – two-dimensional paper becomes three-dimensional sculpture in beautiful and unexpected ways. Unfolding is a complete overview of Shlian’s oeuvre over the past ten years, including small- and large-scale works, unseen development sketchbooks, collaborations with scientific researchers and scientists, three-dimension reliefs and sculpture – all in paper. Printed in full colour on two paper stocks, the book features an introduction by Diana Gaston, an interview between Stuart Kestenbaum and the artist, and essays by acclaimed writer Lawrence Weschler and Islamic design scholar Eric Broug. In keeping with the geometric underpinning of Shlian’s work, the dimensions of the book are ‘16 cubed’: 16cm squared by 16cm squared by 16 signatures of 16 pages. Unfolding is a journey into the new possibilities of folding technology, the intricate complexities of Islamic patterns, and the sheer potential offered by a simple sheet of paper.With 200 illustrations, 150 in colour

A gripping, visceral and immensely moving read. Courage beyond measure, coupled with humility to act as a lesson to us all. No more fitting tribute – we remember them' - DAMIEN LEWIS‘The determination of John Humphreys and his comrades of 1st Airborne Division in both attack and defence is legendary. This is a tale as brave as it is tragic’ - SGT DAN MILLS, author of Sniper One‘From the fall of Tobruk to the bridge at Arnhem, few can compare to John Humphreys’ war . . . Honest, insightful and sometimes painful. I enjoyed it very much indeed’ TOM PETCH, AUTHOR OF SPEED, AGGRESSION, SURPRISE----A powerful and authentic account of one soldier's war from Tobruk to Arnhem and all points in between. John Humphreys was just a boy soldier in the Royal Engineers when war was declared in 1939. By the war's end he had jumped into Arnhem with the Parachute Regiment to spearhead the attack on the bridge. For days Humphreys and the rest of his squad held on, outnumbered and outgunned by the German army fighting to the last bullet and refusing to surrender. But the Bridge Too Far is only the climax of Humphreys’ remarkable war. Twice captured as a prisoner of war, he twice escaped from the enemy to make his way back to Allied lines in order to rejoin the fight. Aged 101, Humphreys began to pen his extraordinary story, with the help of bestselling author and former paratrooper Stuart Tootal. The Last Para is Humphrey’s parting gift, and the final time we will read an account from a soldier of our Greatest Generation bearing witness to the heroism and sacrifice of this legendary action – told with incredible honesty and irrepressible spirit. ‘Told with incredible honesty and an irrepressible spirit, this is the final firsthand account of the battle at Arnhem bridge’ SUNDAY EXPRESS‘A remarkable tale’ MARK URBAN
