“ ‘Mrs. Dalloway’ ve keşfettiklerim ?zerine pek ?ok şey s?ylemeliyim aslında: Karakterlerimin arkasındaki g?zel mağaraları nasıl kazdığımı; bunun tam da benim aradığım şeyi sağladığını d?ş?n?yorum: insanlık, mizah ve derinlik. Asıl ama? mağaraların birleşmesi ve her birinin, yaşanılan o anın i?inde g?n y?z?ne ?ıkması.” Bu s?zleri s?yl?yor kendi romanı i?in Virginia Woolf. Roman kahramanı Clarissa Dalloway, akşam vereceği partinin hazırlıkları ile uğraşırken yalnızca onun d?ş?nsel ser?venine değil, r?zg?rının değdiği herkesin i? d?nyasına tanık oluyoruz. Tek bir g?n?n i?inde hem ge?mişi hem geleceği hem de i?inde bulunduğu anı anlatıyor kitabında yazar. Pek ?ok kişinin zihninde gezip pek ?ok d?ş?nce arasında gidip gelirken bir olay ?rg?s?nden ziyade, karakterlerin i? d?nyalarıyla, nasıl duyup nasıl d?ş?nd?kleriyle ilgilenen Woolf, insan ruhundaki ?atışmaları, gelgitleri ?nemseyip zihinler arasında bir bilin? akışı k?pr?s? kurarak bize aktarıyor s?ylemek istediklerini: yaşam ve ?l?m, akıl ve delilik… "Bir keresinde Serpentine’a bir şilin atmıştı, bir daha da hi?bir şey atmamıştı. Oysa gen? adam b?t?n hayatını kaldırıp atıyordu. Onlar yaşamaya devam edeceklerdi (Partiye geri d?nmeliydi; salonlar h?l? kalabalıktı, insanlar gelmeye devam ediyorlardı.). Onlar yaşlanacaktı. Oysa ?nemli olan bir şey vardı; kendi yaşamında gevezeliğe boğulan, yalanlarla yozlaşan, bozulan, belirsizleşen bir şey… İşte onu koruyabilmişti gen? adam. ?l?m, bir başkaldırıydı. ?l?m, iletişim kurmak i?in verilmiş bir ?abaydı, insanlar, nedense kendilerinden ka?an ?ze ulaşmanın imk?nsızlığını hissediyorlardı; yakınlık uzaklaşıyor, b?y?k sevin?ler soluyordu, insan yalnız kalıyordu. Bir kucaklaşma vardı ?l?mde. Ama şu kendini ?ld?ren gen? adam -hazinesi elindeyken mi bırakmıştı kendini aşağıya? Beyazlar i?inde aşağı inerken, bir seferinde 'Şimdi ?lecek olsaydım eğer, bu benim en mutlu anım olurdu.' demişti Clarissa kendi kendine." (…) "Ama kurtulmuştu Clarissa. Oysa o gen? adam canına kıymıştı. Bir şekilde onun felaketiydi bu, utancıydı. Bu koyu karanlıkta, burada bir adamın, şurada bir kadının dibe battığını ve kaybolduğunu g?r?rken gece elbisesi i?inde ?ylece dikilmek zorunda kalmak da onun cezasıydı. Hile yapmış; ?almıştı aslında. Hi?bir zaman tamamıyla hayran kalınacak biri olmamıştı."

The first Golden Age detective novel to feature a serial killer with no rational motive – and surely impossible for Scotland Yard to solve?A long knife with a brilliant but perverted brain directing it is terrorising Holmdale – innocent people are being done to death under the very eyes of the law. After every murder a business-like letter arrives announcing that another ‘removal has been carried out’, and Inspector Pyke of Scotland Yard has nothing to go on but the evidence of the bodies themselves and the butcher’s own bravado. With clear thinking impossible in the face of such a breathless killing spree, the police make painfully slow progress: but how do you find a maniac who has no rational motive?Philip MacDonald had shown himself in The Noose and The Rasp to be a master of the detective novel. In Murder Gone Mad he raised the stakes with the first Golden Age crime novel to feature a motiveless serial killer prompted only by blood lust – inspired by the real-life case in 1929 of the D?sseldorf Monster – and this time without the familiar Anthony Gethryn on hand to reassure the reader.This Detective Story Club classic is introduced by L. C. Tyler, Chair of the Crime Writers Association and author of the award-winning ‘Elsie and Ethelred’ crime novels and the John Grey historical mysteries.

I don't think anyone can have written an autobiography without at some point thinking «Why would anyone want to know this shit?» I've always read them thinking «I don't want to know where Steve Tyler grew up, just tell me how many groupies he f**ked!»'So begins Frankie's outrageous, laugh-out loud, cynical rant on life as he knows it. From growing up in Pollokshaws, Glasgow (‘it was an aching cement void, a slap in the face to Childhood, and for the family it was a step up'), to his rampant teenage sex drive (‘in those days if you glimpsed a nipple on T.V. it was like porn Christmas'), and first job working in a mental hospital ('where most evenings were spent persuading an old man in his pants not to eat a family sized block of cheese'), nothing is out of bounds.Outspoken, outrageous and brilliantly inappropriate, Frankie Boyle says the unsayable as only he can. From the TV programmes he would like to see made ('Celebrities On Acid On Ice: just like Celebrity Dancing On Ice, but with an opening sequence where Graham Norton hoses the celebrities down with liquid LSD'), to his native Scotland and the Mayor of London ('voting for Boris Johnson wasn't that different to voting for a Labrador wearing a Wonder Woman costume'), nothing and no one is safe from Frankie's fearless, sharp-tongued assault.Sharply observed and full of taboo-busting, we-really-shouldn't-be-laughing-at-this humour, My Shit Life So Far shows why Frankie Boyle really is the blackest man in show business.In 2010, MY SHIT LIFE SO FAR won the title of Scotland's favourite summer read, coming top of a list of 20 other books from the likes of Ian Rankin, Iain Banks and Carol Ann Duffy.

Megan je dosp?vaj?c? d?vka s paranorm?ln?mi vjemy, kter? nemůže naj?t nikoho, kdo by j? pomohl jej?m schopnostem rozumět… přinejmenš?m nikoho ve světě živ?ch. ‚Myln? představa‘ je pov?dka o mlad? d?vce, kter? si postupně uvědomuje, že na rozd?l od ostatn?ch členů rodiny m? neobyčejn? paranorm?ln? schopnosti, k nimž se j? však přizn?vaj? i někteř? kamar?di ze školy. D?vka se jmenuje Megan a v t?to knize (prvn? v s?rii) je j? dvan?ct let. Megan řeš? dva zd?nlivě nepřekonateln? probl?my. Zaprv? se jej? matka boj? skryt?ch schopnost? sv? dcery a nejenže j? s nimi nechce pomoci, ale př?mo ji od nich zrazuje. A zadruh? nemůže naj?t učitele, kter? by j? pomohl jej? nadpřirozen?, paranorm?ln? schopnosti rozv?jet. Snaž? se o tom mluvit se svou matkou, ale ta ji odb?v?, a ř?ci o nich sv?mu otci se ani nepokouš?, protože v?, že jej? matka by s t?m nesouhlasila. A koneckonců chce zůstat s matkou zadobře. Megan m? pocit, že mezi nimi existuje nevysloven? pouto. Třeba to tak maj? všechny matky se sv?mi dcerami, ale dost možn? je to mnohem hlubš?. Kdo v?, když to nev? ani Megan sama? V? jen, že jej? matka nepln? roli, jakou by oček?vala od matky miluj?c? svou dosp?vaj?c? dceru, kter? je pln? obav, o nichž si chce, ba př?mo potřebuje promluvit s něk?m, komu věř?. Megan chce d?t matce čas, aby mohla svůj strach z nadpřirozena překonat. Megan může počkat, a dokonce je schopna sn?šet i strašliv? t?r?n?, jemuž je vystavena bez vědom? jej?ho otce. Alespoň prozat?m. Myln? představa je prvn? ze zat?m dvaceti tř? pov?dek v t?to s?rii, kde se Megan postupně snaž? rozv?jet sv? nadpřirozen?, duševn? a paranorm?ln? schopnosti za podpory lid?, kteř? j? pom?haj? naj?t spr?vnou cestu. Mus? se totiž nejen naučit sv? schopnosti zn?t a ovl?dat, ale tak? zjistit, k jak?mu ?čelu je použ?t. Megan je hodn? d?vka, proto se zd? zřejm?, že pomoc? sv?ch schopnost? bude cht?t konat dobro. Zachovat se spr?vně však nen? vždycky snadn?. Př?běhy o Megan oslov? každ?ho, kdo se zaj?m? o paranorm?ln? schopnosti a nadpřirozeno, ve věku od deseti do sta let.

Wohlbekannt als besonnener Krieger, wird seine Kontrolle an die Grenze gedr?ngt, als er die Schwester der Vampirk?nigin trifft. Nicht nur seine Kontrolle wird von Cailyn auf die Probe gestellt, sondern auch seine F?higkeiten als Zauberer werden herausgefordert, als er darum k?mpft, ihre sterbliche Seele zu retten. Cailyn ist sofort von der besch?digten Seele gebannt, die sie in den funkelnden Tiefen von Jaces Amethystaugen sieht. Die Anziehung ist so stark, dass es Cailyn dazu zwingt, die Richtung in ihrem Leben zu hinterfragen, die sie mit einem anderen geplant hat. Ihr mond?nes Leben wird durch einen brutalen Autounfall, einem Fae-Zauber, Expeditionen in den Bayou und K?mpfen mit D?monen drastisch ver?ndert. Inmitten dieses Chaos’ verst?rkt sich das Band, das sich zwischen ihr und Jace entwickelt, was ihr Verlangen f?reinander unleugbar sein l?sst. Einer Sache ist sich Cailyn sicher: Sie muss Jace helfen die Tiefe seiner Narben zu erforschen, um die Wunden seiner gequ?lten Vergangenheit zu ?berwinden und eine Zukunft zu finden … aber wird es mit ihr sein?

Wie sieht das Leben aus, wenn man nicht mehr trinken darf? Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre erz?hlt davon, was bleibt, wenn man nicht mehr mitmachen kann. Und wie die anderen wirken, die weiter munter dabei sind. Selten ist so verdichtet dar?ber geschrieben worden, wie der Umgang mit der legalen Droge Alkohol die Menschen unterscheidet und das Leben pr?gt. Und dann f?hrt Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre den Gegenversuch durch, indem er am Weltnichtrauchertag eben nicht aufh?rt, sondern seinen Tagesablauf als Raucher protokolliert, von der ersten Zigarette im Stehcaf? ?ber diverse Schreibtischzigaretten, Spazierganglungenz?ge bis zur letzten sp?tabends auf dem Balkon.
