Dopisek na okładce: A Strafford & Quirke mystery.

In 1950s Dublin, Rosa Jacobs, a young history scholar, is found dead in her car. Renowned pathologist Dr. Quirke and DI St. John Strafford begin to investigate the death as a murder, but it’s the victim’s older sister Molly, an established journalist, who discovers a lead that could crack open the case.

One of Rosa’s friends, it turns out, is from a powerful German family that arrived in Ireland under mysterious circumstances shortly after World War II.

But as Quirke and Strafford close in, their personal lives may put the case, and the lives of everyone involved, in peril, including Quirke’s own daughter.

A woman on a plane listens to the stranger in the seat next to hers telling her the story of his life: his work, his marriage, and the harrowing night he has just spent burying the family dog.

That woman is Faye, who is now on her way to Europe to promote the book she has just published.

Once she reaches her destination, the conversations she has with the people she meets – about art, about family, about politics, about love, about sorrow and joy, about justice and injustice – are the most far-reaching questions human beings ask.

These conversations, the last of them with her son, rise dramatically and majestically to a beautiful conclusion.

Stanowi cz.1 cyklu Outline. Cz.2 "Transit", cz.3 "Kudos".

A woman writer goes to Athens in the height of summer to teach a writing course.

Though her own circumstances remain indistinct, she becomes the audience to a chain of narratives, as the people she meets tell her one after another the stories of their lives.

Beginning with the neighbouring passenger on the flight out and his tales of fast boats and failed marriages, the storytellers talk of their loves and ambitions and pains, their anxieties, their perceptions and daily lives.

In the stifling heat and noise of the city the sequence of voice begins to weave a complex human tapestry.

The more they talk the more elliptical their listener becomes, as she shapes and directs their accounts until certain themes begin to emerge: the experience of loss, the nature of family life, the difficulty of intimacy and the mystery of creativity itself.

Outline is a novel about writing and talking, about self-effacement and self-expression, about the desire to create and the human art of self-portraiture in which that desire finds its universal form.

In the wake of family collapse, a writer and her two young sons move to London.

The process of upheaval is the catalyst for a number of transitions - personal, moral, artistic, practical - as she endeavors to construct a new reality for herself and her children.

In the city she is made to confront aspects of living she has, until now, avoided, and to consider questions of vulnerability and power, death and renewal, in what becomes her struggle to reattach herself to, and believe in, life.

In "Klara and the Sun", Kazuo Ishiguro looks at our rapidly changing modern world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator to explore a fundamental question: what does it mean to love?

Na okładce: From the International Bestseller. Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction.

It is the summer of 1979.

An English painter travels to a small island off the west coast of Ireland.

He doesn't know that a Frenchman follows close behind. Jean-Pierre Masson has visited the island for many years, studying the language of those who make it their home.

An expertly woven portrait of character and place, a stirring investigation into yearning to find one's way, and an unflinchingly political critique of the long, seething cost of imperialism, Audrey Magee's "The Colony" is a novel that transports, that celebrates beauty and connection, and that reckons with the inevitable ruptures of independence.

Nach den letzten Gedichtbänden erleben wir in Richard Pietraß nunmehr auch den humorvollen Geschichtenerzähler, einen weltklugen Autor, der Lust am Fabulieren hat und uns manch erstaunliche Mitteilung zu machen hat. Voraussetzung für die Publikation war der einjährige Aufenthalt des Autors in Liechtenstein, einem der kleinsten Staaten Europas. Das Leben im Fürstentum beschreibt er ebenso pointiert wie die Besuche von Autorenkollegen, Begegnungen mit Lesern, und dem Fürsten selbst. Seine Erlebnisse rückt er ins europäische Normalmaß und reflektiert die Liechtensteiner Konflikte der großen wie der kleinen Art. Aber er begegnet auch d e r Fata Morgana seiner Kindheit, der orthographischen Verwechslung seines sächsischen Geburtsortes mit dem europäischen Kleinstaat.

Costa Book Award 2019

A sharply intelligent novel about two college students and the strange, unexpected connection they forge with a married couple.

Frances is twenty-one years old, cool-headed, and darkly observant. A college student and aspiring writer, she devotes herself to a life of the mind-and to the beautiful and endlessly self-possessed Bobbi, her best friend and comrade-in-arms...

Written with gem-like precision and probing intelligence, "Conversations with Friends" is wonderfully alive to the pleasures and dangers of youth.

An exquisitely moving story about grief, love, and family-but especially love..

Aside from the fact that they are brothers, Peter and Ivan Koubek seem to have little in common.

Peter is a Dublin lawyer in his thirties-successful, competent, and apparently unassailable...

Ivan is a twenty-two-year-old competitive chess player. He has always seen himself as socially awkward, a loner, the antithesis of his glib elder brother...

For two grieving brothers and the people they love, this is a new interlude—a period of desire, despair, and possibility; a chance to find out how much one life might hold inside itself without breaking.

Years ago, Sukie moved in with Nathan because her mother was dead and her father was difficult, and she had nowhere else to go. Now they are on the brink of the inevitable.

Sally Rooney is one of the most acclaimed young talents of recent years.

With her minute attention to the power dynamics in everyday speech, she builds up sexual tension and throws a deceptively low-key glance at love and death.

One evening, eight Mennonite women climb into a hay loft to conduct a secret meeting. For the past two years, each of these women, and more than a hundred other girls in their colony, has been repeatedly violated in the night by demons coming to punish them for their sins. Now that the women have learned they were in fact drugged and attacked by a group of men from their own community, they are determined to protect themselves and their daughters from future harm.

While the men of the colony are off in the city, attempting to raise enough money to bail out the rapists and bring them home, these women—all illiterate, without any knowledge of the world outside their community and unable even to speak the language of the country they live in—have very little time to make a choice: Should they stay in the only world they’ve ever known or should they dare to escape?
