'I was totally gripped by this sharp, layered novel' Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain 'A brilliant, riveting fox-trap - an epic mystery' Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace 'A rare gem, an immersive and enthralling literary thriller' Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train ----------------------------------------------------- From the author of LONG BRIGHT RIVER, a Barack Obama Pick and a New York Times bestseller, comes a once-in-a-generation story; a novel you'll never forget. Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars. Some said the Van Laars deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son. Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy. Now, fifteen years later, the daughter the family had in their grief has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances aren't connected. Some say they are.

Píše sa rok 1893, New York patrí do únie slobodných amerických štátov. David Bingham, najstarší syn tamojšej významnej rodiny, sa vzoprie svojmu osudu a pred životom v zabehnutých koľajach uprednostní vzťah s neistou budúcnosťou. O sto rokov neskôr, počas epidémie AIDS, mladý Havajčan Davidnečakane dostane list od svojho otca, s ktorým dávno prerušil styky. Správa od otca Davidovi pripomenie to, čo sa mu darilo dlho tajiť, a to odkiaľ pochádza a kto v skutočnosti je. V roku 2093 stojí ľudstvo na prahu ďalšej svetovej pandémie a v Spojených štátoch vládne militantný diktátorský režim. Vnučka bývalého politického pohlavára sa po smrti starého otca pokúša postaviť na vlastné nohy. Najprv však musí zistiť, kam každý štvrtok večer chodí jej manžel. Tri storočia. Tri životy. Tri podoby veľkého amerického sna. Tri majstrovské rozprávania o rodinných vzťahoch, životných stratách a falošných sľuboch sociálnej utópie. Román Do raja je strhujúcim príbehom o našej minulosti, prítomnosti, budúcnosti, o láske, strachu, pocite hanby a túžbe po šťastí - teda o podstate toho, akí sme.

Známy kanadsko-srílanský spisovateľ, ktorý sa preslávil najmä románom Anglický pacient, sa vo svojej novej knihe vracia do čias krátko po druhej svetovej vojne. Rodičia štrnásťročného Nathaniela a jeho sestry Ráchel nečakane odídu a nechajú svoje deti s ľuďmi, ktorí sú možno zločinci. V atmosfére povojnového Londýna sa odohráva príbeh bezstarostnej mladosti, prvej lásky a dobrodružstiev, ktoré sa jedného dňa náhle skončia. Až o niekoľko rokov neskôr si Nathaniel skladá čriepky svojej minulosti, odhaľuje pravdu o tom, čo predtým nevedel alebo nechápal, a tá cesta ho zavedie do morálne rozporuplného, tajomného sveta.

I've no history here, and no character: and what I am, is all in what I will be...

Five unforgettable women. One beloved yoga studio. A million tales to tell. Lee is a caring yoga teacher who changes lives and inspires friendships. But a year after the breakup of her marriage, she's struggling to raise her twins and make ends meet at her small studio in LA's trendy Silver Lake. The California yoga scene is dominated by celebrity teachers with agents, publicists, and other trappings Lee has rejected. When she's offered a teaching stint at a high-profile yoga festival at Lake Tahoe, she has to choose between standing by her principles--and those of the man she's just started dating--and the lure of becoming a "star." It would be an easier choice if her four best friends could join her, but each has problems of her own. Katherine, a masseuse with a troubled past, is being evicted from the only real home she's ever had. Graciela, a dancer, is in New York trying to hide her affair with a famous baseball player from her volatile boyfriend. Imani is a TV actress coping with motherhood as she's struggling to make a comeback in film. Stephanie, a screenwriter, is trying to come to terms with a very unexpected relationship. Head Over Heels explores the burgeoning world of commercialized yoga with the warmth, humor, and insider knowledge that won Rain Mitchell's Tales from the Yoga Studio raves from critics and yogis, and made the book an international success.

When the US Navy send their elite, they send the SEALs. When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six. SEAL Team Six is a clandestine unit tasked with counterterrorism, hostage rescue and counterinsurgency. Until recently its existence was a closely-guarded secret. Then ST6 took down Osama bin Laden, and the operatives within it were thrust into the global spotlight. In this internationally bestselling chronicle, former ST6 shooter Howard Wasdin takes readers deep inside the world of Navy SEALs and Special Forces snipers. From the inside track on the operation that killed the world's most wanted man to his own experience of the gruelling ST6 selection processes to his terrifying ordeal at the 'Black Hawk Down' battle in Somalia, Wasdin's book is one of the most explosive military memoirs in years.

This is the definitive biography of Freddie Mercury. Written by an award-winning rock journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones toured widely with Queen forming lasting friendships with the band. Now, having secured access to the remaining band members and those who were closest to Freddie, from childhood to death, Lesley-Ann has written the most in depth account of one of music's best loved and most complex figures. Meticulously researched, sympathetic, unsensational, the book - like the forthcoming film - will focus on the period in the 1980s when Queen began to fragment, before their Live Aid performance put them back in the frame. In her journey to understand the man behind the legend, Lesley-Ann Jones has travelled from London to Zanzibar to India. Packed with exclusive interviews and told with the invaluable perspective that the twenty years since Mercury's death presents, Freddie Mercury is the most up to date portrait of a legendary man. Fully revised and updated edition.

In a small town on the Italian coast, a mysterious woman washes ashore. She is crippled, mute, and clutches a bundle to her chest-a baby the townspeople insist is a real-life mermaid. It can only bring bad luck; they pay a troupe of acrobats to carry mother and child away. In the bustling trade center of Venice, merchant Paul Pindar is the subject of his colleagues' concern. Since his return from Constantinople, they have found him changed; raging over the loss of his beloved, Celia, he has gambled away his fortune at the gaming tables. But when a priceless blue diamond surfaces in the city, Pindar recognizes the opportunity to regain everything he has lost-including, perhaps, the woman he loves. A celebrated writer of history and travel books, Katie Hickman has always been a master of evoking time and place. With The Pindar Diamond, her follow-up to The Aviary Gate, she brings early-seventeenth-century Italy vividly to life, and also demonstrates her maturity as a novelist. A tale of love and avarice, with a touch of the mystical, The Pindar Diamond is rich with historical detail, and unfolds with urgency and grace. It is accomplished, wholly satisfying historical fiction.

Weergave van een aantal gesprekken die de spiritueel begeleidster had met cliënten over alledaagse problemen.

Každý z nás snil v dětství o místech, která by chtěl navštívit, o lidech, které by chtěl potkat a o činech, které by rád vykonal. Některé sny jsme si v omezené míře splnili, ale ty největší se zdály být zcela mimo náš dosah a hodní lidé kolem nás – učitelé, rodiče a přátelé – nám radili na ně zapomenout. Ovšem právě tyto sny se mohou stát nejdůležitějším motorem našich životů. Randy Pausch, profesor informatiky, věnoval svou proslavenou přednášku uskutečňování dětských snů a překonávání překážek. Mluvil o radosti ze života, o čestnosti, poctivé práci, vděčnosti i pokoře. Jeho přednáška je naplněna moudrostí, ale i jeho typickým humorem. On sám ji považoval za „vzkaz v láhvi“ pro budoucí generace.

Spoločnosť a kultúra, v ktorej žijeme, nás učia, aby sme svoju hodnotu odvodzovali od lásky, súhlasu a uznania druhých. Výsledkom sú neúspešné vzťahy a zranené duše všetkých, ktorí svoju vlastnú hodnotu zakladajú na správaní a názoroch iných ľudí. Kniha Potrebujem tvoju lásku – Je to pravda? skúma vzťahy, ktoré nás zvyknú trápiť najviac a cez ktoré sa často posudzujeme – partnerský vzťah, vzťah dieťaťa k rodičovi či pracovné vzťahy. Pomocou jednoduchého procesu vhodne kladených otázok sa nám rýchlo podarí odhaliť chybné tvrdenia, na ktorých sú založené nielen naše vzťahy, ale často celý náš život. A čo je najlepšie – hneď ako tieto falošné tvrdenia zistíme, dokážeme sa od nich oslobodiť a vpustiť si do života skutočnú lásku k sebe aj iným.
