A yellow taxi, a golf club and a cat! What do they have in common? As if nothing... only these characters are repeated with unusual insistence in the new collection of stories by Latvian fantasy and science fiction writers 'Pedestrians'. Why? And that's not all - this collection draws the reader into guessing other riddles.
What does the Dream Blower do? How would a car controlled by thoughts work? Is the baby in the bed just a fiction? What would you do if you could rewrite the past? Or, even more so - the future?
The writers do not promise clear answers, but one thing they can promise - a colorful, exciting, even dazzling journey into the world of imagination, which often so imperceptibly overflows into the reality we know, that we have to understand - we are all just pedestrians in some mysterious, completely unknowable traffic of dreams, ideas and unusual events. In traffic, where accidents sometimes happen, and then the inexplicable and fantastic suddenly become visible

Jennifer Weiner is a New York Times bestselling author. Several of her novels have been adapted into films. Very often, it begins with a thrilling first glance. Sometimes it's a story about giving a second chance. Sometimes the answers are known almost instantly. But Rachel Bloom and Andy Landis' relationship takes many years to come to the most important question of their lives - whether they can ultimately walk the path together.
They are just young children when they meet in a hospital emergency room. They meet again as teenagers, and the mutual attraction is too strong to resist. Romance unites the most different - a girl from a family of wealthy and caring parents and a young man whose mother takes care of her son alone. Over the next three decades, Andy and Rachel meet again and part again, bound by chance and shared memories, climb the mountain of success and victory and fall into the abyss of defeat and despair, but rise and climb again - even stronger and wiser in life.
This is a soulful novel with a dose of humor and self-irony, a fantastic revelation about the flow of time, about how we change, while changing each other. But the measure is only one - the beloved person and the ability to be happy

Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist with a respectably published first book. Today, he's teaching in a third-rate MFA program and struggling to maintain what's left of his self-respect; he hasn't written - let alone published - anything decent in years. When Evan Parker, his most arrogant student, announces he doesn't need Jake's help because the plot of his book in progress is a sure thing, Jake is prepared to dismiss the boast as typical amateur narcissism. But then... he hears the plot.
Jake returns to the downward trajectory of his own career and braces himself for the supernova publication of Evan Parker's first novel: but it never comes. When he discovers that his former student has died, presumably without ever completing his book, Jake does what any self-respecting writer would do with a story like that - a story that absolutely needs to be told.
In a few short years, all of Evan Parker's predictions have come true, but Jake is the author enjoying the wave. He is wealthy, famous, praised and read all over the world. But at the height of his glorious new life, an e-mail arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a thief, it says

Bille

Genre: Social Novel

Vizma Belsevica is my Grandmother, and I must admit that as a child 'Bille' bothered me a bit - often, when I asked my Grandmother about the time when she was little, I would get an unusually firm and blunt: 'Read Bille'.
Well, why should I read if the storyteller is sitting opposite? Now, when some time has passed, I am happy and grateful for this book. It is not only about the girl Billi, but also about countless Riga boys and girls and their parents, ordinary working people, who struggled through life in Riga in the 1930s as if they were teachers. It is described here colorfully, aptly and at times harshly
