Sam Taylor Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Giuliano da Empoli v tejto provokatívnej knihe prináša strhujúce a miestami až mrazivé svedectvo o svete súčasnej moci. Po úspechu románu Kremeľský mág sa opäť vydáva do zákulisia globálnej politiky – od New Yorku po Rijád, od OSN až po luxusný hotel Ritz-Carlton Mohammeda bin Salmána. Na svojej ceste sleduje novú generáciu vládcov sveta: autokratov, ktorí sa neštítia chaosu, technologických magnátov, ktorí akoby už žili v inom svete, aj silu umelej inteligencie, ktorá sa čoraz viac vymyká kontrole. S Machiavelliho jasnozrivosťou a nadhľadom moralistu autor skúma okamih, keď sa starý poriadok rúca a rodí sa nový – tvrdší, nepredvídateľnejší a často nebezpečnejší. Nastal čas predátorov.

Keď sa Myriam, matka dvoch detí, rozhodne napriek nevôli svojho manžela, vrátiť do práce v advokátskej kancelárii, začnú manželia hľadať pestúnku. Po prísnom výbere zamestnajú Louise, ktorá si veľmi rýchlo získa náklonnosť detí a stane sa z nej neodmysliteľná súčasť domácnosti. Postupne sa pasca vzájomnej závislosti zaklapne, až kým neskončí drámou. Prostredníctvom priliehavého opisu mladého manželstva a fascinujúcej a záhadnej postavy pestúnky sa nám odhaľuje dnešná doba so svojimi predstavami o láske a výchove, nerovnocenných vzťahoch a peniazoch, spoločenských a kultúrnych predsudkoch. Leila Slimani píše ostrým štýlom, do ktorého preniká temná poézia a od prvých strán vytvára napätie.

'A beacon of hope in a dark world' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Pool Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in the Guardian and Observer This inspiring and courageous book is a guiding star for us all in troubled times. One night last winter, Antoine Leiris was at home looking after his son while his wife, H�l�ne, was at a concert with friends. Suddenly he started receiving text messages asking if he was ok. Turning on the TV, Antoine watched the terrorist attacks in Paris unfolding around him and tried to call H�l�ne. She didn't answer. That night H�l�ne was killed, along with 88 other people, at the Bataclan Theatre. Three days later, Antoine wrote an open letter to his wife's killers on Facebook. He refused to be cowed or to let his baby son's life be defined by their acts. 'For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom,' he wrote. Instantly, that short post caught fire and was shared thousands of times around the world. You Will Not Have My Hate is an extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir which teaches us how to respond to a world full of hatred with generosity and love. This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Úšpešný mladý spisovateľ Marcus Goldman prechádza tvorivou krízou, písanie sa mu nedarí, zato termín odovzdania rukopisu súri čoraz väčšmi. Obráti sa teda na svojho bývalého profesora Harryho Queberta - aj on je slávnym spisovateľom, no žije už v ústraní na vidieku. Profesor pozve Marcusa k sebe, debatujú o živote, o písaní, až kým vidiecku idylku nenaruší udalosť, čo všetko zvráti: Queberta obvinia z vraždy dievčaťa, ktoré je nezvestné už tridsať rokov, a jeho mŕtvolu nájdu zakopanú pred profesorovým domom. Marcus je presvedčený o nevine svojho mentora, namiesto písania sa pustí do pátrania, a na povrch postupne vyplávajú dlho utajované vášne.

A story of sex, capitalism, power, and deception unfolds through an erotic obsession set in Paris. This novel, the author's first translated into English, was longlisted for the Impac Dublin Literary Award and shortlisted for several prestigious prizes, including the Prix Renaudot and the Prix Goncourt. David Kolski is managing the construction of Paris's largest tower, a demanding role that distances him from his family. By chance, he meets Victoria de Winter, a ruthless high-flyer who introduces him to a life of luxury and desire. As they explore their identities and aspirations together, David becomes more driven at work and feels more complete. However, he grapples with doubts about the dark, amoral world Victoria represents. Can he trust her, or even his own perceptions, as the pressure mounts? The narrative raises questions about trust and reality, leaving readers to ponder David's reliability. Critics praise the novel as erotic, raw, and complex, challenging the stereotype of French writers as self-indulgent. The author, Eric Reinhardt, born in 1965, has written four novels and is a freelance publisher of art books. The English-language translation is by Sam Taylor, known for his work on HHhH.

Detective and mystery stories. Mystery fiction. An unconventional detective story about memory and reality.

Welcome to Sam Taylor's world. A single girl with a dog, she moves into a new flat and tumbles headlong into a rollercoaster life in a dodgy postcode with 'potential'. Female friends, hopeless bachelors, would-be artists, poets dressed as reindeers, rabbis, lesbian mums, conflicted vicars, and a bewildered boyfriend, are all thrown together through chance and circumstance.
