The Showman
The Inside Story of the Invasion That Shook the World and
Made a Leader of Volodymyr Zelensky by Simon Shuster
Acclaimed journalist Simon Shuster gives us the first inside account of the Russian
invasion of Ukraine from the perspective of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his
team, who granted him unprecedented access. Time correspondent Simon Shuster
chronicles the life and wartime leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing
rooms of his variety show in Ukraine to the muddy trenches of his war with Russia.
Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the
front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his
advisers, ministers and military commanders, The Showman tells an intimate and
eye-opening story of the President’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol
of resilience, revealing how he managed to rally the world’s democracies behind
his cause.
Anna O
by Matthew Blake
Anna O hasn’t opened her eyes for four years.
Not since the night she was found in a deep sleep by the bodies of her best
friends, suspected of a chilling double murder.
For Doctor Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist on London’s Harley Street,
waking Anna O could be career-defining. As an expert in sleep, he knows all
about the darkest chambers of the mind; the secrets that lie buried in the
subconscious.
As he begins Anna O’s treatment – studying his patient’s dreams, combing her
memories, visiting the site where the horrors played out – he pulls on the thread
of a much deeper, darker mystery.
Awakening Anna O isn’t the end of the story, it’s just the beginning.
Michael Jordan - The Life
by Roland Lazenby
When most people think of Michael Jordan, they think of the beautiful shots,
his body totally in sync with the ball, hitting nothing but net. He is responsible
for incredible moments so ingrained in basketball history that they have their
own names: The Shrug, The Shot, The Flu Game. But for all his greatness, there’s
also a dark side to Jordan: a ruthless competitor, a gambler. There’s never been
a biography that balanced these personas-until now. Drawing on personal
relationships with Jordan’s coaches; countless interviews with friends, team mates,
family members, and Jordan himself; and a career in the trenches covering Jordan
in college and the pros, Roland Lazenby provides the first truly definitive study of
Jordan: the player, the icon, and the man.
The Star on the Grave
by Linda Margolin Royal
In 1940, as the Nazis sweep toward Lithuania, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara
defies his own government and secretly issues thousands of visas to Jewish
refugees desperate to flee. After the war, Sugihara is dismissed and disappears
into obscurity. Three decades later, in Australia, Rachel Margol, her father and
her grandmother live disconnected from one another and haunted by unspoken
tragedies. When Rachel announces her engagement to a Greek Orthodox man,
it detonates a long-held secret. The Margols are actually the Margolins: they are
Jewish, and her family has concealed their identity from her and the world. But
why? As Rachel struggles to understand this deception, an opportunity arrives to
visit Chiune Sugihara, the man who risked his life to save them during World War
II. Rachel becomes determined to meet him, but will a journey to Japan, and the
secrets it uncovers, heal the Margolins or fracture them for good? An extraordinary
novel inspired by the true story of Chiune Sugihara, and the thousands of people -
including the author - who owe him their lives.
