What literature to use to retrain from a Python developer to Java?

Good evening!
I'm a junior python developer (flask/sanic), recently switched to development from test automation.
The question of retraining arose due to the fact that my project, it seems, will be covered with a copper basin in the near future, and there are simply no other projects in python on my cozy gallery (not counting data science, in which I don’t have a foot in the tooth). But we have a full office of javaists, and there are non-illusory chances to switch to some project with java.
For myself, I singled out Head First Java aka Learning Java (Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates) and the classics of the genre - "Java Philosophy" by Bruce Eckel.
What book to choose for learning Java, provided that I am not the first day in programming, but I am far from an expert? Head first probably won't be able to give me the required depth of knowledge, since this series is for complete beginners in programming? However, I did not write it off - now I'm reading their book on design patterns, I really like the presentation of the material.

UPD .: After reading HeadFirst Java, I can say the following: if you have development experience in another PL, do not read this book , because everything that was stretched over 700+ pages could fit in 100 - 150 pages. A lot of explanations in style "for the mentally retarded", which sometimes stretch for a good 10 pages. Lots of pictures and lengthy discussions about nothing. Lots of deliberate repetition of the same information from chapter to chapter. The book has been inflated to a huge size, but the efficiency of such reading tends to zero.
Better take Horstmann (Java. Developer's Library. Fundamentals), where the same 700+ pages, but this book consistently presents all the basic information about Java, and HeadFirst Java is a waste of time for you.
If you don't have programming experience...DO NOT read HeadFirst Java . Despite the fact that the book is written in a light, almost "detective" style, there is enough information that you simply will not understand due to the lack of programming experience. Your option .. yes, the same Horstmann + practice on some JavaRush.
