Lars, Simon, and Tobias are young drug addicts who, on a dark and deserted street in Stockholm, hatch a plan to kidnap a wealthy girl in order to finally get their hands on a large sum of money. Naively, they also enlist the help of a criminal and murderer well known to the police. At the same time, Sweden is preparing for parliamentary elections, and Prime Minister Nicklas Endre cannot afford to lose them. Accustomed to living a life of luxury, he pulls strings among politicians, police officers, and notorious criminals to secure his comfortable position for at least another five years. But his plans begin to unravel when Tom Dahlin, a former party colleague of the late Prime Minister Olof Palme, enters the race for the premiership. A capable and honest politician, a devoted husband, and the father of a young teacher, he finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In the ninth installment of the Slovenian Castle Stories series, writer Ivan Sivec travels to Polzela, following in the footsteps of the famous Knights of Malta and journeying into the second half of the eighteenth century. At that time, the Knights of Malta lived in Komenda Castle, the locals were building a magnificent church on Mount Oljka, raftsmen were still working in the Upper Savinja Valley, and hops were only beginning to gain importance in the Valley of Green Gold. At the heart of the story is the love between Andraž and Nežika, alongside a wealth of folk customs and traditions. The novel follows the rise of the brave young Andraž from his birthplace to the island of Malta, through knightly battles and his eventual elevation among the most distinguished members of the order. Every legend is born from real events and, over the years, only gains in breadth and depth.

Slovenian writer Ivan Sivec has recorded the history of his thousand-year-old lineage in ten extensive chapters, each narrated by one of his ancestors. The novel was created with a touch of imagination and based on numerous written and visual documents that draw on the Sivec family chronicle dating back to 1590. These materials were compiled by Dr. Rajmund Lampreht, a research historian, using the Ljubljana Archdiocesan Archives, documents from the Kamnik Registry Office, and extensive scholarly literature. The novel is an archetypal work of writing, composed from the deepest and brightest depths of Sivec’s soul.

"I first encountered the wrecked ship Rex as a child. There is probably no older person along the Slovenian coast who does not know of her. As a child, I loved diving into her depths and exploring her, and later, as a diver, I descended several times to her remains beneath the surface of the sea. Ever since childhood, the giant ship has inspired in me a sense of awe, fear, and mystery."

Desa Muck’s The Pitfalls of Life 1 is a witty, honest, and relatable book about everyday challenges, relationships, love, aging, and all the small and great pitfalls we sooner or later find ourselves caught in. With her trademark humor and without sugarcoating anything, the author reveals the absurd sides of life and offers stories in which many readers will easily recognize themselves.

The detachment is a witty, suspenseful and slightly offbeat story by Desa Muck, in which everyday life unexpectedly turns into an adventure. When people with different personalities, perspectives and secrets find themselves thrown together, an unusual unit is formed that must face circumstances far greater than themselves. Along the way, there is no shortage of humor, unexpected twists and situations that reveal who is truly brave – and who is mostly just good at talking.
