Freckles
Allegra Bird's arms are scattered with freckles, a gift from her beloved father. But despite her nickname, Freckles has never been able to join all the dots. So when a stranger tells her that everyone is the average of the five people they spend the most time with, it opens up something deep inside.
The trouble is, Freckles doesn't know if she has five people. And if not, what does that say about her? She's left her unconventional father and her friends behind for a bold new life in Dublin, but she's still an outsider.
Now, in a quest to understand, she must find not one but five people who shape her - and who will determine her future.
Told in Allegra's vivid, original voice, moving from modern Dublin to the fierce Atlantic coast, this is an unforgettable story of human connection, of friendship, and of growing into your own skin.

Hedvábná císařovna Střecha světa
Za vlády dynastie Tang se pyšnila Čína tajemstvím výroby hedvábí, které budilo závist v celém světě. Nikdo jiný nedokázal látku vzácnější než jadeit a dražší než zlato vyrobit. Podél hedvábné stezky se buddhisté i křesťané, mniši i loupežníci o nic t
ak nesnažili jako o to, aby Číně její tajemství vyrvali. Tak se na klikatících cestách napříč Tibetem, Indií a Čínou rozpoutává nelítostný boj, plný nejen tajemných záhad a spletitých intrik, ale také lásky.Překlad: Pavel Kaas

Ópiové vojny 2. -Vyplienenie Letného paláca
Jedna z najstarších civilizácií sveta ponížená votrelcami zo Západu a zanedbaná vlastnou neschopnou vládou píše smutnú kapitolu svojej histórie. Čínou 19. storočia zmietajú epidémie, hladomor, korupcia a občianska vojna. Nemalú zásluhu má na tom ópium - čierne bahno, na ktorom zbohatne zopár jednotlivcov. Obetí je však oveľa viac. Novinár John Bowles je svedkom hrôz aj hrdinských činov, nestranný pozorovateľ ľudskej chamtivosti a krutosti, ktorá neváha ničiť ľudské životy aj tisícročné klenoty umu a šikovných rúk. Čo prichystal osud utajenému synovi čínskeho cisára? Kam vedie cesta krásnej akrobatky túžiacej po slobode a princa zo starého cisárskeho rodu, ktorý hľadá spravodlivosť? Čo sa stane s Letným palácom, ktorý sa považuje za čínske Versailles?

A világ tetején
A 7. században Kína olyan hatalmas kincset mondhat magáénak, amelyet az egész világon irigyelnek tőle: a selymet. Sehol máshol nem tudják, hogyan kell előállítani ezt a finom, csillogó anyagot, amely ritkább, mint a jádekő, és értékesebb, mint az arany.
A Selyem császárnője, egy buddhista fiú és egy keresztény lány szerelmének története, ezen keresztül vallások és kultúrák, kelet és Nyugat találkozásának regénye.
Az egykori muzeológus - restaurátor, José Fréches mindig szenvedélyesen érdeklődött a keleti kultúra, különösképpen Kína iránt, amiről több nagy lélegzetű regénye tanúskodik. Történelmi kalandregény - trilógiája egy kevéssé ismert világ monumentális freskóját tárja az olvasó elé.

Buddha szeme

Sincerely Yours, Anna Sherwood
One summer internship. Two complete opposites. A connection neither expected...
Annalise Sherwood has worked herself to the bone to win a place on a prestigious internship, and nothing is going to stop her now.
Work hard, play later - that's her motto. She figures one night out before she starts the programme can't hurt, though - especially when it ends with the best kiss of her life. But to Anna's horror, the mystery guy she kissed that night is none other than Lloyd, the boss's son.
Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he's everyone's favourite guy and a total charmer, swanning around like he owns the place. And from the moment they meet again, he rubs Anna up the wrong way. As the summer - and the internship - progresses, Lloyd seems to be finding any excuse to annoy Anna, and she's not afraid to dish it right back.
But when a lot of late night working brings them unexpectedly closer, she begins to wonder if romance might be on the agenda after all . . .
Brimming with wit and chemistry, this brand-new, page-turning romance from Beth Reekles is perfect for fans of Beth O'Leary's The Flatshare and Emily Henry's Beach Read.

After film tie
Experience the internet's most talked-about book, now a major motion picture, from Anna Todd, the writer Cosmopolitan called "the biggest literary phenomenon of her generation."
There was the time before Tessa met Hardin, and then there's everything AFTER... Life will never be the same. #Hessa
Tessa is a good girl with a sweet, reliable boyfriend back home. She's got direction, ambition, and a mother who's intent on keeping her that way.
But she's barely moved into her freshman dorm when she runs into Hardin. With his tousled brown hair, cocky British accent, and tattoos, Hardin is cute and different from what she's used to.
But he's also rude-to the point of cruelty, even. For all his attitude, Tessa should hate Hardin. And she does-until she finds herself alone with him in his room. Something about his dark mood grabs her, and when they kiss it ignites within her a passion she's never known before.
He'll call her beautiful, then insist he isn't the one for her and disappear again and again. Despite the reckless way he treats her, Tessa is compelled to dig deeper and find the real Hardin beneath all his lies. He pushes her away again and again, yet every time she pushes back, he only pulls her in deeper.
Tessa already has the perfect boyfriend. So why is she trying so hard to overcome her own hurt pride and Hardin's prejudice about nice girls like her?
Unless...could this be love?
Princess of Souls
In this Rapunzel-inspired fantasy novel, a young witch, groomed to steal souls for an immortal king, meets the reckless, rebellious boy to whom her fate is tied.
For sixteen years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother's place as the King's Witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the King's immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.
A soldier in the King's army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the King's immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.
Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal King that now hunts them.
