Daniel strávil s Clarou čtyři roky a byl naprosto spokojený. Ona asi ne, protože ho ze dne na den opustila a nechala mu jen ošklivého psa a dlouhý dopis plný obvinění. Takže teď je zase svobodný muž – až na jeden závazek. Neměl to srdce dát Dogga do útulku, i když to byl vlastně Clařin pes a on si s ním neví moc rady. Rozhodl se najít mu nový domov.. Úřednice v útulku se při pročítání Doggových materiálů najednou zamračí. „To je zvláštní, byl u nás jen týden, když si ho vaše přítelkyně vybrala.“ „No a?“ „Já bych ho tipovala na doživotí.“ „Na doživotí?“ „Jako ve vězení… že tu prostě už dožije.“ „Proč to říkáte?“ „No… vždyť se na něj podívejte.“

La fiancée de Dan disparaît du jour au lendemain, ne lui laissant qu’une lettre et le chien qu’elle venait à peine de recueillir : Doggo. Plus proche du cabot hargneux que de l’adorable toutou, celui-ci va pourtant chambouler la vie du trentenaire. Nouveau job, nouvel amour, et si la tornade Doggo se révélait le plus inattendu des porte-bonheur ?

"When it comes to predicting how technology changes our near future, there are two camps. One says we live at a time of a "new normal" where we've netted all the low-hanging fruit and ordering a ride or food on a smartphone is as good as it's going to get. The other camp sees lots of changes but mainly in destroying jobs and traditional businesses. They're both wrong, predicts Mark P. Mills, whose earlier book "The Bottomless Well" debunked the bleak consensus view that the world had reached "peak oil" production in the early 2000s. History will record the 2020s as one of the episodic pivots in human progress where technology-driven prosperity goes into high gear. And it doesn't come from any single 'big' invention, but from the convergence of radical advances in technologies in three domains: the "Cloud," history's biggest and newest infrastructure, built from next-generation microprocessors and democratizing artificial intelligence; new kinds of machines used for making and moving everything; and the emergence of unprecedented and novel materials from which everything is built. We've seen this pattern before. The structure of the technological revolution that drove the last long-run expansion can be traced to the 1920s. It too came from the same kind of convergence: a new information infrastructure (telephony), new machines (cars and power plants), and new materials (plastics and pharmaceuticals). It's true that we've wrung all the magic out of the last boom. But the next one starts now. The U.S. is again at the epicenter of these innovations, one that promise to upend the status quo in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, education, energy and entertainment"-- Provided by publisher

For fans of William Boyd and WINTER IN MADRID, comes THE LONG SHADOW from Mark Mills, No. 1 bestselling author of THE SAVAGE GARDEN.

Snow Falling on Cedars meets The Shipping News in this enthralling literary crime novel set in post World War II Long Island. In the small town of Amagansett, perched on Long Island's windswept coast, generations have followed the same calling as their forefathers, fishing the dangerous Atlantic waters. Little has changed in the three centuries since white settlers drove the Montaukett Indians from the land. But for Conrad Labarde, a second-generation Basque immigrant recently returned from the Second World War, and his fellow fisherman Rollo Kemp, this stability is shattered when a beautiful New York socialite turns up dead in their nets. On the face of it, her death was accidental, but deputy police chief Tom Hollis -- an incomer from New York -- is convinced the truth lies in the intricate histories and family secrets of Amagansett's inhabitants. Meanwhile the enigmatic Labarde is pursuing his own investigation. In unravelling the mystery, this haunting and evocative novel captures a community whose way of life is disappearing, its demise hastened by war in Europe and the incursions of wealthy city dwellers in search of a playground.
