Raskolnikov, a destitute and desperate former student, wanders through the slums of St Petersburg and commits a random murder without remorse or regret. He imagines himself to be a great man, a Napoleon: acting for a higher purpose beyond conventional moral law. But as he embarks on a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a suspicious police investigator, Raskolnikov is pursued by the growing voice of his conscience and finds the noose of his own guilt tightening around his neck. Only Sonya, a downtrodden sex worker, can offer the chance of redemption.

Presents the story of King Arthur, his knights of the Round Table, the sword Excalibur, and his tragic death.

The Brothers Karamazov is a murder mystery, a courtroom drama, and an exploration of erotic rivalry in a series of triangular love affairs involving the “wicked and sentimental” Fyodor Pavlovich Karamazov and his three sons―the impulsive and sensual Dmitri; the coldly rational Ivan; and the healthy, red-cheeked young novice Alyosha. Through the gripping events of their story, Dostoevsky portrays the whole of Russian life, is social and spiritual striving, in what was both the golden age and a tragic turning point in Russian culture. This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky remains true to the verbal inventiveness of Dostoevsky’s prose, preserving the multiple voices, the humor, and the surprising modernity of the original. It is an achievement worthy of Dostoevsky’s last and greatest novel.

Jsou Vánoce a Holden Caulfield byl právě vyloučen z další školy... Prchá před podvodníky z Pencey Prep a bloudí po New Yorku, kde hledá útěchu v prchavých setkáních — tlachá s cizinci v laciných hotelích, osaměle se potuluje po Central Parku, nechá se zbít pasáky a setkává se s bývalými přítelkyněmi, které ho srážejí. Město je krásné i strašné, se vší svou neonovou osamělostí a omšelou okázalostí, se směsicí pocitu možností a prázdnoty. Holden jím prochází jako duch a stále myslí na svou malou sestru Phoebe, jediného člověka, který mu skutečně rozumí, i na své odhodlání uniknout pokrytcům a najít život s opravdovým smyslem. Kdo chytá v žitě je klasika literatury o dospívání — elegie teenageřské odcizenosti, zachycující hluboce lidskou potřebu spojení a matoucí pocit ztráty, když necháváme dětství za sebou. Klasický román J. D. Salingera (1919–2010) o dospívající úzkosti a vzpouře byl poprvé vydán v roce 1951. Román byl zařazen na seznam 100 nejlepších anglicky psaných románů vydaných od roku 1923, který časopis Time sestavil v roce 2005. Modern Library a jeho čtenáři jej označili za jeden ze 100 nejlepších anglicky psaných románů 20. století. Kvůli častému používání vulgarismů a zobrazení sexuality byl často napadán u soudu a v 50. a 60. letech byl románem, který chtěl číst každý dospívající chlapec.

For most 19-year-olds, a cross-country trip is an offer you can’t refuse, but for Marly, it’s the last thing she wants after losing both her parents in a car accident. Nine months after their death, Marly would rather stay home working the retail job she hates, than deal with her loss. It isn’t until family and friends corner her into driving her mom’s renovated 1978 VW bus from Washington to New Hampshire that Marly is forced to face her grief and understand the guilt she feels over her parents’ death. Skeptical, Marly goes on the trip, warily exploring the life her parents knew she always wanted—hiking mountains and living out her photography dreams. On the way, she’ll discover places and people who’ll test her emotions and a guy who pushes at the walls she’s so carefully built around herself. Marly must decide: can she face her deepest wounds and reclaim the life she thought was gone forever? Meet Me at the Summit is an intimate tale of grief, finding yourself after deep loss, and coming to terms with how life changes when you least expect it. It follows Marly as she both runs from and towards the emotions she has long held back regarding her parents’ death. A deep, insightful look into the coming-of-age theme through a heart-breaking narrative.

A chance to rewrite their ending is worth the risk in this swoony romantic comedy from Kosoko Jackson. It's been months since aspiring journalist Kian Andrews has heard from his ex-boyfriend, Hudson Rivers, but an urgent text has them meeting at a café. Maybe Hudson wants to profusely apologize for the breakup. Or confess his undying love. . . But no, Hudson has a favor to ask—he wants Kian to pretend to be his boyfriend while his parents are in town, and Kian reluctantly agrees. The dinner doesn't go exactly as planned, and suddenly Kian is Hudson's plus one to Georgia's wedding of the season. Hudson comes from a wealthy family where reputation is everything, and he really can't afford another mistake. If Kian goes, he'll help Hudson preserve appearances and get the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in media. This could be the big career break Kian needs. But their fake relationship is starting to feel like it might be more than a means to an end, and it's time for both men to fact-check their feelings.
