'A beacon of hope in a dark world' Cathy Rentzenbrink, The Pool Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in the Guardian and Observer This inspiring and courageous book is a guiding star for us all in troubled times. One night last winter, Antoine Leiris was at home looking after his son while his wife, H�l�ne, was at a concert with friends. Suddenly he started receiving text messages asking if he was ok. Turning on the TV, Antoine watched the terrorist attacks in Paris unfolding around him and tried to call H�l�ne. She didn't answer. That night H�l�ne was killed, along with 88 other people, at the Bataclan Theatre. Three days later, Antoine wrote an open letter to his wife's killers on Facebook. He refused to be cowed or to let his baby son's life be defined by their acts. 'For as long as he lives, this little boy will insult you with his happiness and freedom,' he wrote. Instantly, that short post caught fire and was shared thousands of times around the world. You Will Not Have My Hate is an extraordinary and heartbreaking memoir which teaches us how to respond to a world full of hatred with generosity and love. This is the rare and unforgettable testimony of a survivor, and a universal message of hope and resilience. THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

W Nowym Jorku, wiosną 2008 roku, Marcus Goldman, sławny pisarz, zmaga się z twórczą niemocą, nie mogąc ukończyć nowej powieści. Szef wydawnictwa grozi mu procesem sądowym, jeśli nie dotrzyma umowy. Zbliżający się termin staje się coraz bardziej niepokojący, gdy jego bliski przyjaciel, Harry Quebert, zostaje aresztowany za zabójstwo piętnastoletniej dziewczyny, Noli Kellergan. Jej szczątki oraz maszynopis powieści Queberta znajdują się w pobliżu jego domu w miasteczku Aurora.

Aby oczyścić przyjaciela, musi odpowiedzieć na trzy kluczowe pytania: Kto zabił Nolę? Co wydarzyło się w Aurorze latem 1975? Jak napisać bestseller?

“Captivating . . . [HHhH] has a vitality very different from that of most historical fiction.” —James Wood, The New Yorker The basis for the major motion picture, "The Man with the Iron Heart " available on streaming and home video. HHhH: "Himmlers Hirn heisst Heydrich," or "Himmler's brain is called Heydrich." The most lethal man in Hitler's cabinet, Reinhard Heydrich seemed indestructible—until two exiled operatives, a Slovak and a Czech, killed him and changed the course of history. In Laurent Binet's mesmerizing debut, we follow Jozef Gabcík and Jan Kubiš from their dramatic escape from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia to their fatal attack on Heydrich and their own brutal deaths in the basement of a Prague church. A seamless blend of memory, actuality, and Binet's own remarkable imagination, HHhH is at once thrilling and intellectually engrossing—a fast-paced novel of the Second World War that is also a profound meditation on the debt we owe to history.
