ELENA FERRANTE – THE STORY OF THE LOST CHILD
"Nothing quite like this has ever been published before," proclaimed The Guardian about the Neapolitan novels in 2014. Against the backdrop of a Naples that is as seductive as it is perilous and a world undergoing epochal change, Elena Ferrante tells the story of a lifelong friendship between two women with unmatched honesty and brilliance.
The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women — the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up — a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. In this final novel she has returned to Naples, drawn back as if responding to the city's obscure magnetism. Lila, on the other hand, could never free herself from the city of her birth. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect the neighborhood. Proximity to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable, unforgettable.
The four volumes in this series constitute a long remarkable story that readers will return to again and again, and each return will bring with it new revelations.
ELLEN FEIN & SHERRIE SCHNEIDER – THE NEW RULES
The Rules taught a generation of women how to successfully play ''hard to get'' and in the process helped millions of women get their Mr Right. Some called it controversial but it became a movement that helped improve the love lives of women across the world.
But that was all before texting, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, BBM, Iphones and online dating. Now there are even more ways to unwittingly mess up your dating life. The Rules Girls are back with the dating bible for the modern age.
Rules Girls are savvy women who know how to return texts and emails to a man without seeming desperate, how to maintain a cool Facebook profile without giving away too much and how to spot cheaters and players, and avoid them like the plague
EMMA DONOGHUE – ASTRAY
The fascinating characters that roam across the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray: they are emigrants, runaways, drifters, lovers old and new. They are gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross other borders too: those of race, law, sex, and sanity. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress.
With rich historical detail, the celebrated author of Room takes us from puritan Massachusetts to revolutionary New Jersey, antebellum Louisiana to the Toronto highway, lighting up four centuries of wanderings that have profound echoes in the present. Astray offers us a surprising and moving history for restless times.

„Pretpostavljam da će na kraju neko ipak naći ove beleške. Možda za sto godina... Samo da se zna: nisam umro šestog sola. Ostatak posade je svakako mislio da sam skončao i ne mogu da ih krivim. Možda će zbog moje smrti proglasiti Dan nacionalne žalosti, možda će na mojoj stranici Vikipedije pisati: Mark Vatni je jedini čovek koji je umro na Marsu. I verovatno će biti u pravu. Zato što ću sigurno umreti ovde. Onda, da vidimo... Odakle da počnem?“

EWART HUTTON – GOOD PEOPLE
Shortlisted for the 2012 Crime Writers’ Association New Blood Dagger for best first novel
Introducing DS Glyn Capaldi, half Welsh, half-Italian, all maverick. He’s fallen from grace in Cardiff and exiled to be the catch-all detective in the big bit in the middle that God gave to the sheep. A place where nothing of any significance is meant to happen, a place where supposedly he can do little harm.
But trouble have a way of catching-up with Capaldi. Six men and a young woman disappear into the night. They don’t all reappear. The ones that do are good people with a good explanation. Only Capaldi remains unconvinced.
In the face of opposition from the locals, he delves deeper and starts to uncover a network of conflicts, betrayals and depravity that resonates below the outwardly calm surface of rural respectability. D.S. Capaldi is back in the saddle.
F. M. Dostojevski – ZLI DUSI I-II deo
Roman u dve knjige.
Ovo delo ima specifičnu političku podlogu koja ga donekle izdvaja od ostalih romana Dostojevskog – govori se o pravcu kretanja novog vremena, o sukobu „zapadnjaka“ i „narodnjaka“, o političkom i moralnom nihilizmu.
Centralnu ulogu u romanu igra lik Nikolaja Vsevolodoviča Stavrogina. Oko njega se zasniva radnja ovog dela. Međutim, da bi se razumela ideja i ideja Dostojevskog vezana za roman, odnosno da bi se otkrile najveće zasluge i dometi tog romana, potrebno je razlikovati centralnu od glavne, odnosno primarnu i odlučujuću ulogu. Ovo poslednje ne pripada liku Stavrogina i tu leži možda najveća finoća pisčevog velemajstorskog poteza odigranog u romanu, koji se suštinski razlikuje od ostalih dela Dostojevskog.
Međutim, Dostojevski ne bi bio to što jeste kad bi roman ograničio samo na njegov istorijski kontekst. U knjizi se tanano ispituje psihologija junaka, motivi čovekovog ponašanja, uzroci i posledice ljudskih postupaka, apsurdnost i paradoksalnost života, sukob generacija, samoubistvo.
