Medicus, knjiga prva

Serijal Ruso. Gaj Petrije Ruso, vojni liječnik, odlučio je iskušati sreću u tek osvojenoj pokrajini Rimskog Carstva – Britaniji, opasnome i maglovitom mjestu. No, medicus pobjedničke XX. legije nije ni slutio da će mu ta udaljena zemlja svadljivih gorštaka donijeti tolike nevolje. U trenutku slabosti, nakon trideset i šest sati dežurstva u bolnici, podlegao je suosjećanju i kupio ozlijeđenu robinju. I tako sebi navalio na glavu novi problem: robinja odbija govoriti, ne zna kuhati, a još je i prepametna, i to kad ne treba. Ali kada djevojke iz mjesne gostionice počnu nestajati jedna za drugom, strah zavlada Devom. Tko će biti sljedeća žrtva? Gaj Petrije Ruso nema izbora – mora istražiti što se zapravo dogodilo ujesen anno Domini 117.

The Villa Golitsyn

A subtle and unsettling psychological novel set on the French Riviera, this story follows an English writer living in Nice who becomes drawn into the world of a wealthy Russian émigré family residing in the grand Villa Golitsyn. What begins as curiosity gradually deepens into fascination and moral entanglement, as questions of responsibility, guilt, and truth surface in the wake of a troubling incident. Piers Paul Read, known for his elegant prose and exploration of moral and spiritual dilemmas, brings his characteristic psychological insight to this tale. The novel probes themes of obsession, the limits of sympathy, and the uneasy relationship between observer and participant. Thoughtful and atmospheric, it will appeal to readers who enjoy character-driven fiction that quietly examines conscience and the complexities of human motivation.

In the Beauty of the Lilies

Faith ultimately bursts into flame as Updike’s major new novel, charting the lives of one family through four generations, shows readers an America whose dream of perfection is translated into an obsession with God and the Moving Picture. Paterson, New Jersey, 1910: When a Presbyterian minister suddenly loses his faith and leaves the pulpit to become a salesman, he becomes a movie addict as well.

Wild Cards : A Mosaic Novel

Just after World War 2 over New York City, an alien virus transforms human genetics and goes recessive to create super heroes and villains. Most victims die, others experience physical or psychic changes: aces have useful powers, deuces minor maybe entertaining abilities, jokers uglified, disabled, relegated to ghettos.

Escape from Freedom

A landmark work of social psychology, this book examines the paradox of modern freedom: as individuals gained independence from traditional authorities, many also experienced isolation, anxiety, and a longing to escape that very freedom. Drawing on history, sociology, and psychoanalysis, the author explores how the Reformation, the rise of capitalism, and the growth of individualism reshaped the human psyche. He analyzes the appeal of authoritarianism and the psychological mechanisms that can lead people to submit to destructive systems. Written by a prominent humanist thinker and psychoanalyst associated with the Frankfurt School, this classic offers searching insight into the tensions between individuality, security, and democracy, and remains strikingly relevant today.

Empire

Set at the dawn of the American century, this sweeping historical novel explores the rise of the United States as a global power at the end of the 19th century. Moving between Washington, New York, and the fevered atmosphere surrounding the Spanish–American War, the story examines the forces of money, media, and ambition that helped shape modern America. Real historical figures—including powerful newspaper magnates and political leaders—mingle with recurring fictional characters, creating a vivid portrait of an era driven by expansionism and spectacle. A central focus is the explosive growth of “yellow journalism” and the role of the press in manufacturing public opinion and foreign policy. Through sharp dialogue and meticulous historical detail, the novel probes themes of imperialism, political manipulation, and the uneasy marriage of democracy and empire.

Deep Throat

A novelization of the notorious adult film that became a cultural flashpoint of the 1970s, this book captures the outrageous premise and provocative spirit that made the story a symbol of the sexual revolution. Centered on a young woman whose unusual anatomy leads her on a series of explicit and comedic sexual encounters, the narrative blends satire, farce, and graphic erotica. Published at the height of debates over obscenity, censorship, and changing social mores, it reflects a moment when pornography briefly entered mainstream conversation. Readers interested in the history of erotic fiction, the cultural upheavals of the 1970s, or the phenomenon often dubbed “porno chic” will find this a revealing period piece as well as an example of transgressive popular literature.
