Książka w języku angielskim. Śliczna buzia dziewczynki o imieniu Giovanna uległa przemianie i zaczęła przypominać szpetną twarz złośliwej kobiety. Ale czy naprawdę? A jeśli tak, to w jakim lustrze trzeba się przejrzeć, żeby odnaleźć samą siebie i siebie ocalić? Poszukiwania nowego oblicza, które zastąpi szczęśliwą dziecięcą buzię, toczą się między dwoma spokrewnionymi biegunami Neapolu, które żywią wobec siebie strach i nienawiść: miastem ze wzgórz, które przybrało maskę wytworności, i tym z dołu, kryjącym się za trywialnością i krzykliwością. Giovanna balansuje między jednym i drugim, upada i się podnosi, zdezorientowana, bo tak na dole, jak i na górze nie znajduje ani odpowiedzi, ani ratunku .

Książka w języku angielskim. Była zrozpaczona, gdy opuścił ją tak nagle. Pozostawiona sama sobie, bezbronna. Nowy mężczyzna miał jej pomóc zapomnieć o przeszłości i otworzyć nowy rozdział. Jedna dręcząca myśl o tym, kim był jej poprzedni mąż, nie dawała im jednak spokoju. To ona kładła się cieniem na całym ich wspólnym życiu. Schmitt z właściwą sobie wnikliwością i finezją opowiada o głęboko ukrytych uczuciach, „niewidocznych znakach wodnych” odciskających się na naszych relacjach z najbliższymi. "Małżeństwo we troje" to najnowsza książka Erica-Emmanuela Schmitta, najchętniej czytanego w Polsce francuskiego pisarza. Jego książki, przetłumaczone na 35 języków, zdobyły wiele nagród na całym świecie.

Książka w języku angielskim. Życie to coś więcej. Więcej niż rola do odegrania. Niż religia i konwenanse. Więcej niż mąż i dziecko. Pieniądze i sława. Trzy kobiety. Gwiazda filmowa, mistyczka, arystokratka zafascynowana psychoanalizą. Na pozór dzieli je wszystko. Łączy obsesyjna myśl, że muszą porzucić swoje dotychczasowe życie i odnaleźć to, co naprawdę ważne. Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt, zdobywca nagrody literackiej Goncourtów 2010, zabiera czytelników w niezwykłą podróż przez czas i historię, by przedstawić losy fascynujących kobiet. W swej najnowszej powieści z wrażliwością filozofa i pasją wytrawnego detektywa zgłębia tajemnice kobiecej duszy. W tym lustrze może się przejrzeć każda z nas [znak.com.pl].

"Compelling."―Literary Review "An irresistibly anxious book."―The Washington Post "A family drama with a shocking twist."―The New York Times "I was riveted until the very last shocking sentence!"―Oprah Winfrey When the Cassidy-Shaws' driverless minivan fatally collides with an oncoming car, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver's seat. His father, Noah, is beside him, and in the back with his younger siblings is his mother, Lorelei—a renowned AI researcher—who is lost in her work. During a weeklong retreat on the Chesapeake Bay, the Cassidy-Shaws wrestle with the moral fallout of the crash as a routine police enquiry starts to unravel. As Lorelei's increasingly odd behaviour stirs her husband's suspicions that there may be a darker truth behind the incident, the arrival of tech billionaire Daniel Monet (who has a mysterious history with Lorelei) cements them. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenage daughter, tensions among the Cassidy-Shaws reach breaking point. A psychosocial thriller and a propulsive family drama, Culpability explores a world newly shaped by non-human forces such as chatbots and autonomous cars, and forces us to examine our own relationship to artificial intelligence, and the nuanced ways in which we are all, in fact, culpable.

"Engrossing…. a terrifically entertaining novel."--Irish Times In the early 20th century, China is a land undergoing a momentous social and cultural shift, with a thousand-year-old empire crumbling and the nation on the brink of modernity. Against this backdrop, a quiet man from the North embarks on a perilous journey to a Southern city in the grip of a savage snowstorm. He carries with him a newborn baby: he is looking for the child's mother and a city that isn't there. This is a story of two people: a man who finds unexpected success after having journeyed to the hometown of the woman who abandoned him; and the woman he is searching for, who mysteriously disappeared to embark on her own eventful journey. This is a story about vanished crafts and ancient customs, about violence, love, and friendship. Above all, it's a story about change and about storytelling itself, full of vivid characters and surprising twists—an epic tale, as inexorable as time itself and as gripping as a classic adventure story.

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Pick A riotously sharp novel about self-righteousness, control, and the unexpected afterlife of a dog Rose Cutler prides herself on her principles—veganism, feminism, eco-consciousness, and general moral superiority. She runs a yogurt business she quietly despises and lives alone, comfortably distanced from the mess of human relationships. But, when her brother and sister-in-law let her watch her six-year-old nephew Nathan, things go spectacularly wrong. After Rose's dog kills a corgi at the park, Nathan begins to bark, overeat, and claim that the dead dog has possessed his body. Rose assumes this is trauma. Nathan insists it's metaphysical fact. As Rose embarks on a misguided quest to free Nathan from his canine passenger, what begins as an attempt at childcare devolves into a surreal, anarchic spiral of suburban chaos. Brimming with unhinged charm and moral ambiguity, The Hitch is a biting satire of the stories we tell ourselves to stay sane—and the havoc we wreak when those stories fall apart.

A saga inspired by the incredible but true story of the iconic Klimt painting Painted in Vienna in 1910, Gustav Klimt's 'Portrait of a Lady' was purchased by an anonymous collector in 1916, retouched by the master a year later, then stolen in 1997 before reappearing in the gardens of an Italian modern art museum in 2019. No art experts, museum curators, or police investigators know the identity of the young woman in the painting, nor the mysteries that surround the turbulent history of her portrait. From the streets of Vienna in 1900 to Texas in the 1980s, and from Manhattan during the Great Depression to contemporary Italy, de Peretti imagines the destiny of this young woman as well as that of her descendants, and creates a masterful fresco that intertwines family secrets, disappearances, and thwarted loves.

"DOG is a novel full of deft humour and escalating tenderness – a tale about misfits, human and canine, and the currents of hope and courage that bring them together." —Ross Raisin, author of God's Own Country When 18-year-old Benjamin Glass goes to look at a dead whale that has washed up on the beach, he meets an unfamiliar dog who follows him home to his caravan. Benjamin isn't equipped to take care of a dog – he has a chronic fear of germs, and is currently living alone while his grandmother is in hospital. But when a delivery driver recognises the dog as The Mighty Gary, the fastest greyhound in the country, and tells Benjamin about his unsavoury owners, Benjamin is forced to trust the stranger on his doorstep and devise a plan to keep Gary safe. As Benjamin becomes more attached to the dog, it becomes clear that his trust in the delivery driver may well have been misplaced. He will have to leave his comfort zone, take some unhygienic risks, cross paths with dangerous and powerful men and confront his very worst fears if he has any hope of protecting what he loves the most.

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS' CHOICE A powerful, unflinching portrait of a generation fighting for change in Iran, Afghanistan, and Ukraine "Sala's dispatches are as immersive and original as they are anthropologically probing... [They] come alive in ways that ordinary newspaper journalism rarely does."—The New York Times Book Review In The Fire, acclaimed journalist Cecilia Sala takes readers on a gripping journey through some of the world's most volatile regions, from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. Through the eyes of people like Kateryna, a Ukrainian soldier; Assim, an Iranian student at the forefront of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests; Nabila, a queer Muslim kickboxing champion; and Zarifa, a political activist in Afghanistan, Sala offers an intimate portrayal of those fighting for a better life. By immersing herself in their daily lives and political battles, Sala crafts a poignant narrative that captures the human dimension of some of the world's most intense conflicts. The Fire is a testament to the courage of a generation at the forefront of global change.

The first volume of a sweeping fantasy by one of Japan's most beloved storytellers, and the bestselling author of the Moribito series. The vast Umal Empire has flourished for centuries thanks to the miraculous ohaleh rice, a sacred grain brought from a distant land by the first empress Kokun. Resistant to all parasites, the rice has sustained the empire, ensuring peace and prosperity for centuries—until now. When a mysterious infestation strikes, famine spreads and the empire begins to crumble. Fifteen-year-old Aisha, granddaughter of the deposed lord of West Kantal, flees to the imperial capital with her younger brother after a violent coup. There she meets the reigning Kokun, Olie—an enigmatic girl worshipped for her supposed gift of scent, yet secretly powerless. As Aisha uncovers her own latent ability to perceive the natural world through smell, she and Olie form an unlikely alliance. Together, Aisha and Olie must uncover a hidden history and the truth behind the ohaleh rice, all the while battling forces that threaten not just the empire's survival, but the very balance of nature.
