ROBERTO BOLAÑO – THE SKATING RINK
'Gripping, easy to read, sometimes funny and extraordinarily romantic ...High praise' Independent on Sunday When Nuria Marti, the beautiful Spanish figure skater, is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team, a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old mansion on the outskirts of their seaside town. What he doesn't tell her is that he paid for it using embezzled public funds. Such deceit is not without repercussions, and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene ...Rife with political corruption, sex, jealousy and frustrated passion, The Skating Rink -- narrated in turn by a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered romantic poet, and a duplicitous local entrepreneur -- is a darkly atmospheric tale of murder and its motives. 'This magnificent murder mystery ...is wrought with voices of great urgency and yet penned with a delectable lightness of touch' List 'Elegant, elusive and amusing, this novel is more than capable of standing alongside the rest of Bolano's work' Daily Telegraph

ROBIN BRIDGES – THE GATHERING STORM
VOYA said "Bridges could become a worthy successor to Libba Bray with this historical fantasy."Lush and opulent, romantic and sinister, The Gathering Storm, Vol. I in the Katerina Trilogy, reimagines the lives of Russia's aristocracy in a fabulously intoxicating page-turning fantasy.
St. Petersburg, Russia, 1888. As she attends a whirl of glittering balls, royal debutante Katerina Alexandrovna, Duchess of Oldenburg, tries to hide a dark secret: she can raise the dead. No one knows. Not her family. Not the girls at her finishing school. Not the tsar or anyone in her aristocratic circle. Katerina considers her talent a curse, not a gift. But when she uses her special skill to protect a member of the Imperial Family, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue.
An evil presence is growing within Europe's royal bloodlines—and those aligned with the darkness threaten to topple the tsar. Suddenly Katerina's strength as a necromancer attracts attention from unwelcome sources . . . including two young men—George Alexandrovich, the tsar's standoffish middle son, who needs Katerina's help to safeguard Russia, even if he's repelled by her secret, and the dashing Prince Danilo, heir to the throne of Montenegro, to whom Katerina feels inexplicably drawn.
The time has come for Katerina to embrace her power, but which side will she choose—and to whom will she give her heart?

Rudolf Arčibald Rajs – Čujte Srbi
Na poziv srpske vlade 1914. Rudolf Arčibald Rajs u Srbiji istražuje zločine austrougarske, nemačke i bugarske vojske nad civilnim stanovništvom. Njegovi izveštaji suprostavljaju se slici o Srbima kao divljačkom narodu, koju su dotad plasirale Nemačka i Austro-ugarska.
Rajs je zavoleo srpskog vojnika-seljaka i srpski narod, te kao svoje posmrtno zaveštanje srpskom narodu ostavio rukopis knjige „Čujte, Srbi!“, napisan na francuskom jeziku, koji je mogao, na njegov zahtev biti objavljen tek posle njegove smrti. Arčibald je u knjizi ukazao na vrline i mane srpskog naroda, opisao je tadašnju srpsku inteligenciju, političare i omladinu… Iz svega se vidi koliko je Rajs poznavao i voleo Srbe, a njegove poruke su više nego aktuelne i danas.
Međutim, jesmo li uspeli da primenimo poruke Arčibalda Rajsa, napisane davne davne 1928. godine, i sačuvamo se sami od sebe?
