While her colleagues investigate the brutal murder of a prominent businessman, Jessica Niemi must battle demons from her past in this terrifying new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch Hunter.

Powerful executive Eliel Zetterborg has been found murdered in his upscale Helsinki home. What at first seems like a straightforward case soon proves to be anything but when it becomes clear the murderer has other targets. The only clue the police have is a photo of Zetterborg with three men whose faces have all been scratched off.

Detective Jessica Niemi has taken some time off from her work with the Helsinki police to track down the coven that nearly killed her, and her partner, Yusuf, is assigned to lead the investigation. But as Yusuf delves into the case, he realizes he needs Jessica's help.

Zilia

Zilia

Translated title: Envy

Author: Olesha, Juri

Genre: Family Saga / Social Novel

Year: 2026 | Pages: 189 | Origin: ALB | BA Seq Num: 91704

Translated
One of the most enjoyable works of Russian literature, a tour de force that has been compared to the best of Nabokov and Bulgakov, Yuri Olesha's novel 'Envy' combines biting social satire, everyday humor, and a bleak vision of what lies ahead. Andrei is a model Soviet citizen, an arrogant, smug food magnate who aims to revolutionize modern life with a kind of mass-produced sausage. Nikolai, meanwhile, is a failure.

Finding him drunk and lying on the sidewalk one rainy night, Andrei takes him home and finds him a job as a snack barman. Nikolai does his best, but that doesn't mean he's the least bit grateful, quite the opposite. Complaining, sullen, utterly submissive, he despises everything Andrei believes in, even as he envies him at every turn, every breath. The producer and the deceiver, the protagonist and the outcast, the master and the human fight endlessly in the pages of this anarchist comedy by Olesha. It is a contest of wills in which nothing is certain except something; the incorrigible human heart

MOTIONAL AND INTENSIVE, 'THE POSTMASTER' IS A JOURNEY INTO ITALY'S OWN MEMORY, TOLD THROUGH THE EYES OF A HEROINE YOU CAN'T NOT LOVE.

Salento, June, 1934. In Licanello, a town of only a few thousand people, a car stops in the main square. A couple gets out: he, Carlo, a son of the south, is happy to be back in his homeland, she, Ana, his wife, is as beautiful as an ancient Greek statue, but dressed with sadness. What life awaits her in a foreign land?

For thirty years from that day, Ana will be known in the town as 'the foreigner', the one who came from the north, the other one, the one who doesn't go to church and who says things bluntly, to her face. But Ana, courageous, will not bow down to the unwritten laws within which the girls and women of the south are imprisoned. She will achieve this thanks to the help and love of her husband, which, unfortunately, will also be clear to Antonio, his brother, who falls in love with Ana at first sight.

In 1935, Ana does something revolutionary: she challenges prejudice and fear, becoming the first postwoman of Licanelo. No one believes that this job will last, but for the next twenty years Ana will be the thread that connects the inhabitants of the town, the one who brings letters from boys from the front, postcards from fugitives and letters from secret lovers. Unloved, but, above all, unloved by anyone in the town, the postwoman will change many lives

Poet, novelist, storyteller, painter and musician, Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) is a great master of Indian culture. Written during the 1890s, the stories in this selection brilliantly recreate vivid images of Bengali life and landscapes.

This collection contains some of the best stories by Tagore, who put India on the literary map of the world. His stories depict the human condition in its many forms: innocence and childhood, love and loss, city and countryside, the natural and the supernatural. The book also provides a glimpse into the socio-economic conditions prevalent in colonial Bengal.

However, Tagore is first and foremost India's supreme romantic poet, and in these stories he can be seen reaching beyond simple documentary realism to his deeply original vision
