When journalist Dan McCrum followed a tip to investigate the hot new tech company challenging Silicon Valley, everything about Wirecard looked a little too good to be true: offices were sprouting up around the world, it was reporting runaway growth and the CEO even wore a black turtleneck in tribute to Steve Jobs. In the space of a few short years, the company had come from nowhere to overtake industry giants like Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank on the stock market.
As McCrum dug deeper, he encountered a story stranger and more dangerous than he ever imagined: a world of short sellers and whistleblowers, pornographers and private militias, hackers and spies. Before long he realised that he wasn't the only one in pursuit. Shadowy figures were following him through the streets of London, high-flying lawyers were sending ominous letters to his boss, and he was named as the prime suspect in a criminal inquiry. The race was on to prove his suspicions and clear his name.
Money Men is the astonishing true story of Wirecard's multi-billion-dollar fraud, Europe's biggest new tech darling revealed as a house of cards.
Uncovering fake bank accounts, fake offices and possibly even a fake death, McCrum offers a searing exposé that will finally lay bare the truth.
A gruesome curse. A city in upheaval. A monster with unquenchable appetites.
As the last true witches living in a city shifting from magic to industry, Marlinchen and her two sisters are little more than tourist traps as they treat their clients with archaic remedies and beguile them with nostalgic charm. Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate their tyrannical, xenophobic wizard father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world. While at night, she and her sisters sneak out to enjoy the city's amenities and revel in its thrills, particularly the recently established ballet theatre, where Marlinchen meets a dancer who quickly captures her heart.
But as Marlinchen's late-night trysts grow more fervent and frequent, so does the threat of her father's rage and magic. And while the city flourishes with culture and bustles with enterprise, a monster lurks in its midst, borne of intolerance and resentment and suffused with old-world power. Caught between history and progress and blood and desire, Marlinchen must draw upon her own magic to keep her city safe and find her place within it.
From mindfulness and meditation to yoga breaks and spiritual bootcamps, stepping back from daily life remains a human obsession. In this endlessly enlightening book, Nat Segnit experiences retreats around the world as he investigates why we seek solitude, what we get out of it, and what is going on in our brains and bodies when we achieve it. Along the way, he meets yogic scholars, scientists, religious leaders, philosophers and artists, gaining fascinating - and often startling - insights.

Zafascynowana gwiazdami guwernantka z przypadku i niepoprawny donżuan z wyboru...
Książę Belvoir, Chase Reynaud, obawia się, że nie zapewni należnej edukacji i wychowania swoim dwóm osieroconym podopiecznym. Tym bardziej, że żadna guwernantka nie wytrzymała z nimi dłużej niż dwadzieścia cztery godziny.
Aż zjawia się panna Alexandra Mountbatten. Inteligentna, mądra i wrażliwa - a na dodatek - zachwycająca. Czyż mężczyzna, któremu nie może się oprzeć żadna kobieta, mógłby nie ulec aż tylu zaletom?

Jednakże Alexandra potrafi dotrzeć nie tylko do jego wychowanic, otaczając je miłością i zrozumieniem, ale swoje wychowawcze zdolności chce wykorzystać również w stosunku do niego.

Chmielew i jego mieszkańcy to swoista kapsuła czasu. Tekst publikacji powstał w lutym 1922 roku, czyli równo sto lat od niniejszego wydania. Opisuje życie mieszkańców Chmielewa, małej mazowieckiej osady. Autor pozwala nam oglądać bardzo autentyczny obraz wsi polskiej międzywojnia. Co nam oferuje? Specyficzny język, wymagający czasem detektywistycznych domysłów, przeplatany miejscowym żargonem, bohaterów o oryginalnych przydomkach i mikrokosmos polskich stosunków społecznych.
Kradzieże jabłek, spory o miedzę czy studnie, domowe kłótnie, „towarzyszenie”, czyli randkowanie, wyprawy do miasta, wesela, zabawy, pożar wsi, a w tle echa wojen. Czy tematy poruszane w tekście nie skojarzą się może ze współczesnymi reportażami telewizyjnymi?
Znajdujemy tu polskość od podszewki, nie tę pełną „pól malowanych zbożem rozmaitem”, chociaż narrator pragnie wzorować się na wieszczach, ale prawdziwą, czasem bolesną, zmuszającą nas do zastanowienia, czy się zmieniliśmy? Mamy okazję przejrzeć się w lustrze czasu, przekonać o tym, co technologiczny postęp stu lat w nas zmienił. Bo chociaż tekst dokumentuje ewolucję języka i pozwala uzmysłowić sobie fakt, jak wiele zmian kulturowych przeszliśmy, to jednak zwierciadło czasu mimowolnie podpowiada nam… „a to Polska właśnie”.
KONTYNUACJA BESTSELLERA "ZAPACH MAZUR"

W ich codzienną rzeczywistość wpisany jest strach, upokorzenie i krzywda. Aby przetrwać, muszą nauczyć się życia na nowo. Otoczone systemem okołowojennych pułapek, wyznaczają sobie nowe priorytety, uczą się różnych oblicz ludzkich, podejmują trudne decyzje. Robią to, aby żyć, tak zwyczajnie, jak młode kobiety, aby kochać i być kochanymi. Dokąd zaprowadzą Annę podziemne korytarze? Kim będzie dla niej jasnowłosy mężczyzna? Czy połączy ich uczucie? Czy Truda odnajdzie swoje szczęście w Barwinach?
The mesmerising new novel from Ian McEwan, the bestselling author of Atonement. The world is forever changing. But for so many of us, old wounds run deep. Lessons is an intimate yet universal story of love, regret and a restless search for answers.
'Lessons is deep and wide, ambitious and humble, wise and substantial... McEwan's best novel in 20 years' New Statesman
'Superb... A wonderful author has delivered another mesmerising, memorable novel' Independent
'Lessons triumphantly achieves its primary aim of conveying the "commonplace and wondrous" intertwining of global history and everyday life' Daily Telegraph
While the world is still counting the cost of the Second World War and the Iron Curtain has descended, young Roland Baines's life is turned upside down. Stranded at boarding school, his vulnerability attracts his piano teacher, Miriam Cornell, leaving scars as well as a memory of love that will never fade.
Twenty-five years later, as the radiation from the Chernobyl disaster spreads across Europe, Roland's wife mysteriously vanishes and he is forced to confront the reality of his rootless existence and look for answers in his family history.
From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Covid pandemic and climate change, Roland sometimes rides with the tide of history but more often struggles against it. Haunted by lost opportunities, he seeks solace through every possible means - literature, travel, friendship, drugs, politics, sex and love.
His journey raises important questions. Can we take full charge of the course of our lives without damage to others? How do global events beyond our control shape us and our memories? What role do chance and contingency play in our existence? And what can we learn from the traumas of the past?
We all want our children to grow up in a world where they feel safe, and where people are kind to each other and the planet. But when we hear about climate change, a mental health crisis, war, it's hard not to worry about the future and how they will cope.
Drawing on over 20 years of helping children and families, psychotherapist Louis Weinstock is here to help. Combining case studies, playful meditations and simple exercises with life-changing insights from history, science, psychology and anthropology, this is a parenting book like no other.
Whether your child is struggling with mental health issues already, or you want to build their capacity to handle change and uncertainty, this book is a safe place to catch your breath and develop the skills to help your child through life's challenges.
You will discover ways to find peace in the middle of chaos, bring deeper levels of love and healing to the troubled parts of your child (and yourself) and find hope when things feel hopeless.
Most importantly, you will see that inside of you there is strength, wisdom and beauty, and no matter what is going on in this mad world, you can guide your child towards a more beautiful tomorrow.
SAND. A hostile world of burning sun.
Outlines of several once-busy cities shimmer on the horizon. Now empty of inhabitants, their buildings lie in ruins.
In the distance a group of people - a family - walk towards us.
Ahead lies shelter: a 'shuck' the family call home and which they know they must reach before the light fails, as to be out after dark is to invite danger and almost certain death.
To survive in this alien world of shifting sand, they must find an object hidden in or near water. But other families want it too. And they are willing to fight to the death to make it theirs.
It is beginning to rain in Fairfax County, Virginia when McKenzie Strathie wakes up. An ordinary teenage girl living an ordinary life - except that the previous night she found a sand-lizard in her bed, and now she's beginning to question everything around her, especially who she really is ...
Two very different worlds featuring a group of extraordinary characters driven to the very limit of their endurance in a place where only the strongest will survive.

Lolly Willowes, so gentle and accommodating, has depths no one suspects. When she suddenly announces that she is leaving London and moving, alone, to the depths of the countryside, her overbearing relatives are horrified. But Lolly has a greater, far darker calling than family: witchcraft.
'The book I'll be pressing into people's hands forever is Lolly Willowes . . . Starting as a straightforward, albeit beautifully written family saga, it tips suddenly into extraordinary, lucid wildness' Helen Macdonald

Akutagawa was one of the towering figures of modern Japanese literature, and is considered the father of the Japanese short story. This paradigmatic selection, which includes the stories that inspired Akira Kurosawa's 1950 film Rashomon, showcases the terrible beauty, cynicism, sublime pain and absurd humour of his writing.
'One never tires of reading and re-reading his best works. The elegantly spare style has a truly spine-tingling brilliance' - Haruki Murakami
Essays in Love will appeal to anyone who has ever been in a relationship or confused about love. The book charts the progress of a love affair from the first kiss to argument and reconciliation, from intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak. The work's genius lies in the way it minutely analyses emotions we've all felt before but have perhaps never understood so well: it includes a chapter on the anxieties of when and how to say 'I love you' and another on the challenges of disagreeing with someone else's taste in shoes. While gripping the reader with the talent of a great novelist, de Botton brings a philosopher's sensibility to his analyses of the emotions of love, resulting in a genre-breaking book that is at once touching and thought-provoking.
"Echo's Bones' was intended by Samuel Beckett to form the 'recessional' or end-piece of his early collection of interrelated stories, More Pricks Than Kicks, published in 1934. The story was written at the request of the publisher, but was held back from inclusion in the published volume. 'Echo's Bones' has remained unpublished to this day, and the present edition will situate the work in terms of its biographical context, its intertextual references, and as a vital link in the evolution of Beckett's early work.
The editor, Mark Nixon, is director of the Beckett International Foundation at the University of Reading."
Powieść traktowana jako kontynuacja Na Zachodzie bez zmian.Droga powrotna, traktowana jako kontynuacja Na Zachodzie bez zmian, jest powieścią o zmaganiu się z nową rzeczywistością - wojna się skończyła i jej młodzi bohaterowie zastanawiają się, co ich czeka. Miasto, które opuścili jako pełni zapału młodzieńcy, wydaje się inne, chłodniejsze, domy mniejsze, a powody, dla których ich towarzysze broni musieli umrzeć, z dnia na dzień coraz mniej zasadne. Powrót jest trudniejszy, niż mogli sobie wyobrazić, a świat, za którym tęsknili, już nie wydaje się ich światem.
