The Third Wife

The Third Wife

“The Third Wife is a summer gem. The story is complex…the many characters well drawn... Readers of Donna Tartt and Tana French will recognize Jewell’s pacing for what it is: essential.” —New York Journal of BooksFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone comes a riveting family drama with a dark mystery at its core, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes.In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife’s death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface. The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought. But something, or someone, must have pushed Maya over the edge. “Jewell’s last few novels have been a revelation—emotionally sophisticated and complex,” says Kirkus Reviews. The Third Wife is “an emotionally intelligent, brilliantly plotted, and beautifully written examination of a very modern family that will keep you gripped to the end” (London Daily Mail).

Τελειώνει με εμάς

Τελειώνει με εμάς

Κάποιες φορές αυτός που σε αγαπάει περισσότερο είναι και αυτός που σε πληγώνει περισσότερο.  Η ζωή δεν ήταν εύκολη για τη Λίλι, όμως αυτό δεν την εμπόδισε να δουλέψει σκληρά για να εκπληρώσει όλα όσα ονειρευόταν.  Αφού έφυγε από τη μικρή πόλη του Μέιν, σπούδασε, μετακόμισε στη Βοστόνη και άνοιξε τη δική της επιχείρηση. Έτσι, όταν γνωρίζει τον γοητευτικό νευροχειρουργό Ράιλ Κινκέιντ, ξαφνικά η ζωή της φαντάζει πολύ όμορφη για να είναι αληθινή. Ο Ράιλ είναι δυναμικός, πεισματάρης, ίσως και λίγο αλαζόνας. Όμως είναι και ευαίσθητος, πολύ ευφυής κι έχει αδυναμία στη Λίλι. Και όταν φοράει ρούχα χειρουργείου γίνεται ακόμα πιο γοητευτικός.  Η Λίλι δεν μπορεί να τον βγάλει από το μυαλό της. Ωστόσο η τεράστια απέχθειά του για τις σχέσεις είναι ανησυχητική. Και παρόλο που η Λίλι γίνεται η εξαίρεση στον κανόνα του, δεν μπορεί να μην αναρωτηθεί για ποιο λόγο ο Ράιλ απέφευγε να δεσμευτεί. Όμως δεν την κατακλύζουν μόνο τα ερωτηματικά για τη σχέση της αλλά και οι σκέψεις της για τον Άτλας Κόριγκαν – τον πρώτο της έρωτα που τη δένει με το παρελθόν που άφησε πίσω της.  Ήταν η αδελφή ψυχή και ο προστάτης της. Όταν ξαναεμφανίζεται, ξαφνικά ό,τι έχει χτίσει η Λίλι με τον Ράιλ απειλείται…

Postav hliadku

Postav hliadku

Azda nijaká kniha v poslednom čase nevyvolala toľko otáznikov ako román americkej spisovateľky Harper Leeovej Postav hliadku.  Autorka, známa jedným z najpopulárnejších románov 20. storočia Nezabíjajte vtáčika (1960), sa po vydaní tejto knihy na dlhý čas odmlčala. Až v roku 2014 sa v jej trezore našiel rukopis druhého diela, ktoré bolo vlastne jej literárnou prvotinou. Napísala ho v päťdesiatych rokoch 20. storočia, ale vydali ho až v roku 2015.  Dejová línia je takisto posunutá asi o dvadsať rokov. Hlavná detská postava z románu Nezabíjajte vtáčika Jean Louise Finchová (Scout) žije teraz v New Yorku a ako dvadsaťšesťročná prichádza do rodného mestečka Maycomb. S prekvapením zisťuje, že jej otec Atticus, ktorý sa kedysi nezištne ujal úlohy obhajcu v procese s mladým černochom, sa teraz angažuje v rasistickej Rade občanov. Vzťahy medzi miestnym belošským a černošským obyvateľstvom sa mimoriadne zhoršili. Dej sa odohráva na pozadí širšieho historického kontextu a spoločenské napätie sa prenáša aj do vzťahu Jean Louise k otcovi, príbuzným, rodine, niekdajším známym i dávnemu priateľovi Henrymu. Znova si uvedomuje, aké je dôležité – v súlade s biblickým odkazom – postaviť svoju hliadku, ktorou je predovšetkým svedomie.

Where There's Smoke: A Short Story

Where There's Smoke: A Short Story

Bestselling author Jodi Picoult is a masterful storyteller, who “writes with a fine touch, a sharp eye for detail, and a firm grasp of the delicacy and complexity of human relationships” (The Boston Globe). Now, in this original short story, available exclusively as an eBook, Picoult introduces Serenity Jones, one of the fascinating characters from her eagerly awaited new novel, Leaving Time.   Even as a child, Serenity Jones knew she possessed unusual psychic gifts. Now, decades later, she’s an acclaimed medium and host of her own widely viewed TV show, where she delivers messages to the living from loved ones who have passed. Lately, though, her efforts to boost ratings and garner fame have compromised her clairvoyant instincts. When Serenity books a young war widow to appear as a guest, the episode quickly unravels, stirring up a troubling controversy. And as she tries to undo the damage—to both her reputation and her show—Serenity finds that pride comes at a high price.   Praise for Jodi Picoult   “Picoult is a rare writer who delivers, book after book, a winning combination of the literary and the commercial.”—Entertainment Weekly   “Picoult is a solid, lively storyteller.”—The New York Times   “If Picoult were a general, she would be Patton; if a sports franchise, the New York Yankees; if a natural phenomenon, the sunrise.”—Tampa Tribune

The Salvaging Of Civilisation

The Salvaging Of Civilisation

An extremely important philosophical and political book which concerned people throughout the world, include world leaders, should pay attention to. Wells was a visionary and genius who knew the strengths and weaknesses of men's minds and the proclivities of human nature. He could see where the world needed to be going immediately after the devastation of World War I and, in effect, where it still needs to be going today in order to thrive. He predicts for the future how a political reorganization must take place with the world as a unity, and how the general masses lack any will whatsoever to make it happen. Chapters include The Probable Future of Mankind, The Project of a World State, The Bible of Civilization, The Schooling of the World, and more.
