Mi vagyunk a medvék

Literary Fiction

Van egy város valahol az erdő közepén, ahol a tél hosszú, az emberek pedig kemények, mint a jég. Nincs se turizmus, se ipar, se munka, de a remény még pislákol. Van ugyanis valami, ami mindenkit érdekel. Amihez kivétel nélkül mindenki ért. Ez pedig a hoki. Aki azt hiszi, hogy az csak egy játék, nagyon téved. A hoki itt maga a remény. Ebben a szezonban mindenki a Björnstad Hockey juniorcsapatába veti minden bizodalmát. Egy maroknyi tizenévesbe, akikre hatalmas felelősség nehezedik, mert esélyesek arra, hogy visszahozzák a játék és a város dicsőségét. Fiúk és lányok, apák és anyák története ez a könyv. Egy csapat története, amely mindennél fontosabb. A férfiasságé és a csoportszellemé. A tehetségé. Családoké. És egy bűntetté, amely olyan hullámokat gerjeszt, akár a vízbe dobott kő. Mennyire fontos a győzelem? Mit érünk a csapatunk nélkül? Mit bír ki egy barátság? Hogyan védhetjük meg a gyerekeinket? Backman Björnstad-sorozatának első része egészen más, mint amit a szerzőtől megszoktunk, mégis hihetetlenül ismerős. Ezt a történetet meg kellett írni. Mert nemcsak a björnstadiakról, de rólunk is szól, mégpedig húsbavágóan. Aki egyszer belépett Backman világába, az nehezen szakad el tőle.

In this beautiful and moving novel about family, love, and growing up, Ann Patchett once again proves herself one of America’s finest writers.“Patchett leads us to a truth that feels like life rather than literature.” —The GuardianIn the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.Tom Lake is a meditation on youthful love, married love, and the lives parents have led before their children were born. Both hopeful and elegiac, it explores what it means to be happy even when the world is falling apart. As in all of her novels, Ann Patchett combines compelling narrative artistry with piercing insights into family dynamics. The result is a rich and luminous story, told with profound intelligence and emotional subtlety, that demonstrates once again why she is one of the most revered and acclaimed literary talents working today.

Dopo aver rinunciato a tutto con un brutale divorzio, alla casa di New York, agli amici e persino al suo orgoglio, la ventottenne Georgia Stanton deve ricominciare da capo. Tornata in Colorado, nella tenuta della defunta bisnonna, si ritrova faccia a faccia con Noah Harrison, autore bestseller di storie d'amore, arrogante tanto di persona quanto nelle interviste. E che lei sia dannata se il bello scrittore è convinto che sarà lui a finire l'ultimo romanzo di sua nonna. Ma Noah, all'apice della sua carriera, non può certo lasciar perdere quello che si prospetta essere il miglior libro del secolo, quello che il suo idolo, Scarlett Stanton, ha lasciato incompiuto. Trovare un finale adatto per la leggendaria autrice è una cosa, ma affrontare la sua bellissima, testarda e cinica pronipote è un'altra. E così i due si ritrovano a leggere il manoscritto e le lettere di Scarlett, e capiscono perché la donna non ha mai finito di scrivere questa storia ispirata alla sua vita: non c'è lieto fine. Georgia sa fin troppo bene che l'amore vero non esiste e, sebbene la chimica tra lei e Noah siano innegabili, è più determinata che mai a imparare dagli errori della bisnonna, anche se questo significa distruggere la carriera di lui.

Co by můj syn měl vědět o světě

Family Fiction & Literature

Vrávoravý pokus otce vysvětlit dvouletému synovi, jak funguje svět. Od autora bestselleru Muž jménem Ove.  Fredrik Backman vtipně stírá všechny úzkosti a nedostatky rodičů jednadvacátého století v půvabné knize plné upřímných obav a nepodmíněných vyznání lásky, která zasáhnou čtenářovo srdce. Mému synovi. Už teď se ti omlouvám. Za všechno, co udělám špatně. Za všechno, k čemu se nedostanu. Za minibus. Za kraťasy. Za tričko s nápisem „Správní chlapi váží přes 90 kilo“. Za snahu dát si „high five“ s tvými kamarády. Za tuto knihu. Knihu o věcech, které bys měl podle mě vědět o světě. O fotbalu, IKEA, o tom, jaké to je být mužem, o Bohu a smažené snickersové zmrzlině. O tom, jaké to je ztratit klíčky od auta a proč musel táta zabít zpívající plastovou žirafu. Tato kniha je především o snaze být dobrým rodičem. Protože chci, abys věděl, že jsem se vážně snažil úplně nejvíc, jak jsem uměl. Nikdo negooglil tolik jako já. ----- Vynikající a dojemné, ale především plné vtipných komentářů a postřehů. Fredrik Backman zase jednou napsal něco naprosto úžasného a pozoruhodného. – Litteratursiden   Leckdy užitečná, nečekaně skromná a vtipná kniha. U tohoto chlapáckého vyznání lásky, které nabádá ke hře, honbě za vášní, hledání lásky, k tomu být milý, když můžeš, a silný, když musíš, jsem se smál nahlas. - Varbergs Posten   Zobrazení výchovy, společenského dědictví a trávení času se svými milovanými dělá z prózy Fredrika Backmana čistou a oduševnělou knihu. - Göteborgs-Posten   Fredrik Backman (nar. 1981) pochází ze Stockholmu, pravidelně píše sloupky do švédských novin a na svůj blog. Proslavil se hned svým prvním románem Muž jménem Ove z roku 2012 (česky Host 2014), který vyšel zároveň s knihou Co by můj syn měl vědět o světě. Backmanovy knihy vycházejí ve třiačtyřiceti zemích a prodalo se jich přes sedm a půl milionu. Anglický překlad románu Muž jménem Ove se drží na předních příčkách žebříčku bestsellerů deníku The New York Times už přes rok, stejně jako německé vydání v žebříčku bestsellerů týdeníku Der Spiegel. Stejnojmenný film měl českou premiéru v listopadu 2016 a získal nominaci na Oscara v kategorii cizojazyčný film.

Momma always told me that my sins would find me. I just didn’t think it would happen in a biker bar with my first crush bursting through the doors with his gun pointed at me. Well, not technically at me, but at my boyfriend- also known as my current sin. He was the thing I hoped the good Lord didn’t tell momma about in one of her dreams. Guess it didn’t matter anyway. I was caught and in a bigger mess than I could have imagined.Micah Abe hadn’t laid eyes on Dolly Dixon, his younger sister’s best friend, in years, but her eyes were the kind you didn’t forget. Even if she’d grown into a woman with a body made for sin, he had recognized that unique shade of amber the moment she had locked her gaze on him. Damn shame he wouldn’t get a taste of her. His sister would cut off his favorite body part if he even considered it. Besides, he was over clingy women, and the way Dolly was holding on to his enemy like she wanted to wrap her legs around him meant she was the needy type.Problem was he had to save her from herself. Clearly, Dolly was still clueless about life. That much hadn’t changed about her. He’d come here to get back what had been taken from him five years ago, but it looked like he’d be saving Snow White in the process.

Anxious People

Anxious People

Literary Fiction

An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People).Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment’s only bathroom, and you’ve got the worst group of hostages in the world.Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them—the bank robber included—desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next.Proving once again that Backman is “a master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives” (USA TODAY), Anxious People “captures the messy essence of being human….It’s clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry” (The Washington Post). This “endlessly entertaining mood-booster” (Real Simple) is proof that the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope can save us—even in the most anxious of times.

From the acclaimed author of The Longest Ride and The Notebook comes an emotional, powerful novel about wondering if we can change—or even make our peace with—the path we’ve taken.Tanner Hughes was raised by his grandparents, following in his grandfather’s military footsteps to become an Army Ranger. His whole life has been spent abroad, and he is the proverbial rolling stone: happiest when off on his next adventure, zero desire to settle down.  But when his grandmother passes away, her last words to him are find where you belong. She also drops a bombshell, telling him the name of the father he never knew—and where to find him. Tanner is due at his next posting soon, but his curiosity is piqued, and he sets out for Asheboro, North Carolina, to ask around. He’s been in town less than twenty-four hours when he meets Kaitlyn Cooper, a doctor and single mom. They both feel an immediate connection; Tanner knows Kaitlyn has a story to tell, and he wants to hear it. To Kaitlyn, Tanner is mysterious, exciting—and possibly leaving in just a few weeks. Meanwhile, nearby, eighty-three-year-old Jasper lives alone in a cabin bordering a national forest. With only his old dog, Arlo, for company, he lives quietly, haunted by a tragic accident that took place decades before. When he hears rumors that a white deer has been spotted in the forest—a creature of legend that inspired his father and grandfather—he becomes obsessed with protecting the deer from poachers. As these characters’ fates orbit closer together, none of them is expecting a miracle . . . but that may be exactly what is about to alter their futures forever.
