Jakie słowa potrafią porwać tłumy, a jakie dzielą społeczeństwo? Głosuj, broń, wybieraj. Polskie hasła polityczne z lat 1918–2020 Marty Śleziak to kompleksowa analiza tej swoistej formy komunikacji — od odzyskania niepodległości po współczesne protesty. Autorka pokazuje, jak krótkie, zwięzłe formuły stawały się nie tylko narzędziem agitacji oraz kształtowania lub wyrażania emocji społecznych, ale i zwierciadłem epoki, w której powstawały.
Książka wciąga jak reporterska opowieść — pełna cytatów, barwnych przykładów i zaskakujących kontekstów. To spotkanie z historią pisaną na transparentach, murach i w gazetach. Autorka przekonuje, że hasła to nie tylko domena polityków, ale także głos obywateli, wyraz buntu i kreatywności, a czasem ironii i humoru. Każde z nich niesie z sobą emocje, wartości i marzenia, ale też lęki i podziały. To lektura, która pozwala poczuć puls polskiej ulicy i zrozumieć, jak zmieniała się nasza wspólnota przez ostatnie stulecie, zachęcając jednocześnie do krytycznego patrzenia na słowa.
Kolejne rozdziały opowiadają o ewolucji tej napiętej nieraz rozmowy, którą prowadzą rządzący i rządzeni. Opracowanie ilustrują archiwalne fotografie, dokumentujące różnorodność haseł politycznych i rozmaite konteksty ich użycia oraz pokazujące, jak język odzwierciedlał i kształtował społeczne nastroje, stawał się narzędziem walki o wolność, wyrazem buntu lub narzędziem propagandy.
RECENZJA
Monografia Marty Śleziak to ambitna próba opisu haseł politycznych, które pojawiły się w ciągu ostatnich stu lat burzliwej historii Polski — czasu niestabilnej państwowości, zmiany ustrojów politycznych, przełomów gospodarczo-społecznych. Kontekst historyczny jest silnie spleciony z językoznawczą analizą, która ma charakter synchroniczny. Niektóre rozwiązania metodologiczne pozwalają uchwycić związek między specyfiką epoki historycznej a kształtem językowym publicznych wystąpień, w tym wznoszonych haseł.
Książka podejmuje temat istotny społecznie i ciekawy językoznawczo. Hasła polityczne to ważny element języka polityki czy komunikacji społecznej w ogóle, dlatego recenzowaną pracą powinni być zainteresowani nie tylko przedstawiciele środowiska naukowego, ale także osoby uważnie obserwujące życie publiczne bądź biorące w nim udział. Praca, mimo pewnych odstępstw od standardowych proporcji treści, jest spójna, wysoce informacyjna, bogata w warstwie poznawczej i przekonująca na płaszczyźnie analityczno–interpretacyjnej, a przy tym wciągająca czytelnika
w proponowany tok rozważań.
Z recenzji prof. dr hab. Magdaleny Steciąg, Uniwersytet Zielonogórski
Ostatni sukces sloganu Make America Great Again! pokazuje, że hasła nadal mają olbrzymie znaczenie. Od wieków pociągają, mobilizują i jednoczą społeczeństwa. Książka dr Marty Śleziak systematyzuje wiedzę na temat polskich haseł i sloganów politycznych, a co ważne: ukazuje je w kontekście historycznym i społecznym. Naukowy, ale przyjazny styl sprawia, że to lektura nie tylko dla językoznawców, ale dla każdego zainteresowanego językiem polityki.

A husband and wife each write in their diary, never knowing if it is being read by the other.
Ikuko and her husband are deeply in love but have grown physically apart, each unsure of the other’s desires. When Ikuko finds the key to her husband’s diary she ignores it, but she does begin to keep a diary of her own. Both parties start to set down in writing the evolution of their sex life and their deepest, most private desires. Who is reading whose diary? Who knows what? So begins an extended erotic game of lust, jealousy and manipulation.
‘A story about sex and marriage that is as explicit as any novel on the theme since Lady Chatterley's Lover’ The Times
'Sensational and serious' New York Times
Two or three times a day I think to myself: maybe I’ll die today.
While recovering from a stroke, seventy-seven-year-old Utsugi turns to his diary to wryly record his struggle with his ageing body. Though impotent and in pain he notes down his growing desire for his beautiful daughter-in-law Satsuko, a chic, Westernised dancer with a shady past. Written when the author himself was an old man and shining with self-effacing humour, Tanizaki’s last novel is a tragicomedy about desire and the will to survive.
‘Lightly comic, lyrically evocative and savagely cruel’ New York Times
‘An artistic masterpiece’ Irish Times
At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings – who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Inspired by the activists, artists and lawmakers of the young ‘Rights of Nature’ movement, Macfarlane takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.
Is a River Alive? flows like water from the mountains to the sea, over three major journeys:
The first is to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened with destruction by gold-mining.
The second is to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.
The third is to north-eastern Quebec, where a spectacular wild river – the Mutehekau or Magpie – is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign.
Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream who rises a mile from Macfarlane’s house, and flows through his own years and days.
Passionate, immersive and revelatory, Is a River Alive? is at once Macfarlane’s most personal and most political book to date. It is a book that will open hearts, spark debates and challenge perspectives. Lit throughout by other minds and voices, it invites us radically to reimagine not only rivers but also life itself. At the centre of this vital, beautiful book is the recognition that our fate flows with that of rivers – and always has.

1942
It’s World War II, and Smith sisters Briar and Ginny are faced with the impossible task of holding their failing family farm together as the US army arrives on their island.
In an attempt for normalcy, the sisters start a book club that quickly grows in numbers and becomes a lifeline for the women who remain on the island.
That is, until a German soldier's arrival casts shadows of doubt and danger. Who can they really trust in their tight-knit community?
In this spectacular novel inspired by true events, New York Times bestselling author Martha Hall Kelly weaves a captivating tale of love, loss, and resilience.
WHEN YOU’RE LIVING A LIE, YOU FIND IT’S BEST TO AVOID CLOSE ATTACHMENTS…
Lynch, a burned out con-artist, arrives, broke, in London, trying not to dwell on the mistakes that got him there. When he bumps into Bobbie, a rehab-bound heiress - and when she briefly mistakes him for her missing brother - Lynch senses the opportunity, as well as the danger…
Bobbie’s brother, Heydon, was a troubled young man. Five years ago, he walked out of the family home and never went back. His car was found parked on a bridge overlooking the Thames, in the early hours of the same morning. Unsettled by Bobbie’s story, and suffering from a rare attack of conscience, Lynch tries to back off.
But when Bobbie leaves for rehab the following day, he finds himself drawn to her luxurious family home, and into a meeting with her mother, the formidable Miranda. Seeing the same resemblance that her daughter did, Miranda proposes she hire Lynch to assume her son’s identity, in a last-ditch effort to try and flush out his killer.
As Lynch begins to impersonate him, dark forces are lured out of the shadows, and he realises too late that Heydon wasn’t paranoid at all. Someone was watching his every move, and they’ll kill to keep it a secret.
For the first time, Lynch is in a life or death situation he can’t lie his way out of.
"Hey! Cheeses, what an idea! I kill your wife and you kill my father! We meet on a train, see, and nobody knows we know each other! Perfect alibis! Catch?"
From this moment, almost against his conscious will, Guy Haines is trapped in a nightmare of shared guilt and an insidious merging of personalities. The psychologists would call it folie a deux...
Strangers on a Train was Patricia Highsmith's first novel, and adapted into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock.
'A true original in crime fiction' The Times
The perfect gift for any Oasis fan
In early 2025, a mysterious cache of papers was discovered in a skip in Manchester. Although not at first recognised, it was soon discovered to be a secret stash of private papers belonging to Oasis musicians Liam and Noel Gallagher, comprising lost diary entries from the course of the brothers’ lives, plus other correspondence and artefacts including one ‘Gospel According to Liam Gallagher’.
Some might say It seems likely that the pages were intended for destruction because the details contained within are personal, often controversial and offensive. And also, frankly, quite ridiculous. Are they a work of forgery intended to defame the Gallagher brothers? Or a true glimpse into what has been going on behind the scenes over the decades?*
*Legally I am obliged to tell you that the latter is not the case… Or is it??**
**Again, the lawyer insists I say: no.
Onizuka Kumako is a fierce woman: tall, beautiful, and not afraid to speak her mind. In Tokyo bars, she seduces customers and commits petty crime, using her connections to the local yakuza to get by. When she meets Shirakawa Fukutaro, a rich widower desperate for companionship and unaware of her shady past, the two hit it off and are soon married. But their newlywed bliss is suddenly cut short: one rainy July evening, their car veers off course, plunges into the harbour and Fukutaro is pulled beneath the waves.
Suspected of murder and labelled a femme fatale, Kumako is hounded by the press, but stays firm, repeatedly proclaiming her own innocence. As pressure from dogged journalists mounts, the tide of public opinion is rising against her. But when a scrupulous defence lawyer takes on her case, doubt begins to creep in . . .
In this intricate, psychological noir, masterfully translated into English for the first time, Seicho Matsumoto draws out the hidden demons that guide our convictions, our biases and our deepest desires.
Dating from 1909 to 1923, Franz Kafka’s Diaries contains a broad array of writing, including accounts of daily events, assorted reflections and observations, literary sketches, drafts of letters, records of dreams, and unrevised texts of stories. This volume makes available for the first time in English a comprehensive reconstruction of Kafka’s handwritten diary entries and provides substantial new content, restoring all the material omitted from previous publications — notably, names of people and undisguised details about them, a number of literary writings, and passages of a sexual nature, some of them with homoerotic overtones.
By faithfully reproducing the diaries’ distinctive — and often surprisingly unpolished — writing as it appeared in Kafka’s notebooks, translator Ross Benjamin brings to light not only the author’s use of the diaries for literary invention and unsparing self-examination but also their value as a work of genius in and of themselves.

Ancient Rome, AD 50

The emperor may have a son and heir of his own, but Agrippina sees no obstacles to her ambition.
Rome is a path through a marsh, lit by torches. Those who walk it are always one step from disaster – and the road itself is treacherous, slippery with blood.
Claudius may have the world at his feet, but he has Agrippina in his bed.
Rufus Leung Gresham, future Earl of Greshamsbury and son of a former Hong Kong supermodel, is drowning in debt. The only solution, according to his mother, is for him to attend his sister’s wedding and seduce a woman with money.
Will it be the French hotel heiress with a royal bloodline? The venture capital genius who passes out billions like lollipops? Or will Rufus betray his family and confess his love for his best friend and ‘girl next door’ Eden? But when a volcanic eruption burns through the nuptials and a hot mic exposes a secret tryst, the Gresham family plans – and their reputation – go up in flames, making Rufus’ choice all the more impossible.
Twenty-year-old Wren Darlington is not your ordinary Mod. She’s one of the most powerful in existence.
But her world is divided. On the Continent, being a known Modified means certain death, as the Primes—those immune to the biotoxin that nearly wiped out the population 150 years ago—want nothing more than to eliminate those who were enhanced by the toxin and developed psychic powers.
Wren has survived all these years by concealing her abilities and keeping a low profile while doing what she can to aid the rebel Uprising in fighting against the Primes’ oppressive rule. But one careless mistake places her in the crosshairs of the Continent’s military, and she is forced to join their most elite program: Silver Block. Unwittingly, her enemy has given her—and the Uprising—the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks.
That is, if she can keep her powers hidden, survive training, and prove herself to Cross Redden, her cocky, maddeningly attractive commanding officer.
Despite the explosive chemistry between them, Wren cannot let Cross get in the way of her mission. But as war rages between Mods like her and those who aim to destroy them, emotions run high and secrets are revealed, forcing Wren to decide how far she’s willing to go to protect herself . . . and how much of the Continent is worth saving.
Geoffrey Braithwaite is a retired doctor haunted by an obsession with the French literary genius, Gustave Flaubert.
As Geoffrey investigates the mystery of the stuffed parrot Flaubert borrowed from the Museum of Rouen to help research one of his novels, we learn an enormous amount about the writer’s work, family, lovers, thought processes, health and obsessions. But we also gradually come to learn some important and shocking details about Geoffrey himself.
A compelling weave of fiction and imaginatively ordered fact, Flaubert's Parrot is by turns moving and entertaining, witty and scholarly, and a tour-de-force of seductive originality.

WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR TO MARK THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST PUBLICATION
All of us have in our minds a cartoon image of what an autocratic state looks like, with a bad man at the top. But in the 21st century, that cartoon bears little resemblance to reality. Nowadays, autocracies are run not by one bad guy, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, security services and professional propagandists. The members of these networks are connected not only within a given country, but among many countries. The corrupt, state-controlled companies in one dictatorship do business with corrupt, state-controlled companies in another. The police in one country can arm, equip, and train the police in another. The propagandists share resources—the troll farms that promote one dictator’s propaganda can also be used to promote the propaganda of another—and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.
Unlike military or political alliances from other times and places, this group doesn’t operate like a bloc, but rather like an agglomeration of companies: Autocracy, Inc. Their relations are not based on values, but are rather transactional, which is why they operate so easily across ideological, geographical, and cultural lines. In truth, they are in full agreement about only one thing: Their dislike of us, the inhabitants of the democratic world, and their desire to see both our political systems and our values undermine.
That shared understanding of the world—where it comes from, why it lasts, how it works, how the democratic world has unwittingly helped to consolidate it, and how we can help bring it down—is the subject of this book.
