Gandolfini
Based on extensive research and original interviews, this intimate biography reveals the complexities of Gandolfini's character, his rise to fame, and his lasting impact on television and film. “A riveting look inside the mind of a towering talent, this is a must for Sopranos fans."-Publishers Weekly"A fast-moving, entertaining bio of a Hollywood mensch."-KirkusIn Gandolfini, critic and historian Jason Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini’s roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn’t until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen. Bailey traces his rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience. More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family.

Archer's Voice
I wanted to lose myself in the small town of Pelion, Maine. To forget everything I had left behind. The sound of rain. The blood. The coldness of a gun against my skin.
For six months, each breath has been a reminder that I survived-and my dad didn't. I'm almost safe again. But the moment I meet Archer Hale, my entire world tilts on its axis ... and never rights itself again.
Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, Archer communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There's so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me.
But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and Archer is the explosive center of it all.
So much passion. And so much hurt. But it's only in Archer's silence that we might just find what we need to heal ... and live.
Includes an exclusive extended epilogue from Archer's POV!

Women and Gender in Modern Europe
This book introduces students to the key concepts of women's history, gender as a category of analysis, and the history of feminism. Spanning the late 19th century to the present day, each chapter highlights major themes of the particular time period right across Europe before concluding with a short bibliography.
Whilst covering some familiar narratives in a broadly chronological fashion, Jennifer A. Miller introduces new actors, themes, and conclusions based on the most recent scholarship that further enriches our collective understanding women's history in modern Europe. Miller presents a Europe of diversity from ethnic and religious perspectives that has also been sorely lacking until now. European colonialism, the suffrage movements, the World Wars and the Holocaust, the postwar period, the Cold War and even very recent history are all closely examined in an essential volume for anyone interested in the European female experience of the last 150 years.
Where the Music Had to Go
Persuasive, captivating and bursting with insight, this dual biography by acclaimed journalist Jim Windolf dives into the surprisingly supportive, occasionally rivalrous, always fertile relationship between Bob Dylan and the Beatles.
Few artists have shaped pop culture as profoundly as the Beatles and Bob Dylan. In Where the Music Had to Go, Jim Windolf offers a new, persuasive interpretation of how two of the twentieth century's greatest recording artists influenced one another - and reveals how their apprenticeships, accomplishments and legacies are uncannily intertwined.
From Dylan's early dismissal of the Beatles as being for 'teenyboppers' to his rapid acknowledgment of their talent, the book captures the pivotal moments that pushed Dylan to 'go electric' and inspired the Beatles to deepen their lyrics. Packed with vivid anecdotes (the Beatles rehearsing Dylan songs; Dylan spending hours at Lennon's childhood home), the book paints a picture of a relationship full of camaraderie, rivalry and mutual evolution.
Windolf's meticulous research uncovers hidden gems, peeling back layers of history to reveal the stories fans didn't even know they were missing. From Lennon's and McCartney's lyrical transformations to George Harrison's growth as a songwriter, the book showcases the ripple effects of the Beatles-Dylan connection. More than a music biography, this is a front-row seat to the forces that shaped the sound of a generation.
Theodore de Bry
When Flemish engraver and publisher Theodore de Bry issued the first volume of his America series in 1590, the New World was truly novel for most Europeans. Gleaned from the travel accounts of adventurers like Thomas Harriot, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh, De Bry's magnificent engravings brought the new continent and its inhabitants to an enraptured audience across the Atlantic.
From "Virginia" (today's North Carolina) and Florida to Central America and down into Patagonia, the first nine volumes of America depict scenery and encounters between Native Americans and Europeans, revealing the latter's perceptions of the former. Portrayals of European discovery and Native American customs were based on the explorers' reports as well as De Bry's own imagination - he himself never traveled to the New World. Although based in Frankfurt, De Bry laid the foundations of the series while in London, collaborating with artists John White and Jacques Le Moyne, whose original watercolors he adapted for the opening two volumes. With his sons, De Bry formed a family enterprise known for exquisite copper engravings and high-quality illustrations unrivaled in their mastery.
The legacy of America is profound, coloring Europe's earliest visions of the Atlantic world. Throughout the following centuries, countless European illustrations would draw inspiration from the spectacular collection. TASCHEN's edition pays homage to De Bry's finesse, reprinting all 218 plates from the first nine volumes alongside their respective frontispieces and continental maps. Volumes I to VI are based on the original hand-colored editions held at the John Hay and John Carter Brown Libraries at Brown University in Providence; volumes VII to IX are from the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek in Augsburg, Germany.
Exceptionally rare even at the time of completion, De Bry's hand-colored America can finally be admired by all.
Lies and Sorcery
The first unabridged English translation of the electrifying novel of secrets and delusions, from one of the greatest Italian writers of the twentieth century.
Elisa – orphaned as a child, raised by a ‘fallen woman’, fed by fairy tales – has lived in an outlandish imaginary world for years. When her guardian dies, she feels compelled to confront her family’s tortured and dramatic past, weaving the tale of her mother and grandmother through a history of intrigue, treachery, deception and desire. But as her saga of three generations of Sicilian women proceeds, it becomes something else entirely, taking in a whole legacy of oppression and injustice. By turns flamboyant and intense, raging and funny, Lies and Sorcery is a celebration of the female imagination, and the power of storytelling itself.
First published in 1948, Elsa Morante’s debut novel won the Viareggio Prize and earned her the lasting admiration of generations of writers from Italo Calvino and Natalia Ginzburg to Elena Ferrante.

Nauč nás modliť sa - oranžová
Modlitebník Nauč nás modliť sa prináša svieži pohľad na detskú modlitbu. Nejde o zbierku zaužívaných textov, ktoré sa opakujú celé generácie, ale o výber nových, aktuálnych a deťom blízkych modlitieb, ktoré oslovujú dnešného prvoprijímajúceho kresťana.
Každá tematická časť je uvedená krátkym, zrozumiteľným textom, ktorý deťom pomáha pochopiť, kedy a prečo sa môžu modliť – bez zbytočného moralizovania, jednoducho a prirodzene. Modlitby sú písané jazykom, ktorému deti rozumejú, a mnohé z nich vznikli priamo z ich vlastných slov a skúseností.
Modlitebník zároveň ponúka aj základné a prehľadne spracované časti formácie viery: pobožnosť krížovej cesty, ruženec, liturgiu svätej omše, prípravu na prvé sväté prijímanie formou otázok a odpovedí, prípravu na sviatosť pokánia, ako aj pobožnosť deviatich prvých piatkov. Vďaka tomu je vhodnou pomôckou pre farskú katechézu a prácu s deťmi v období prípravy na sviatosti.
Táto kniha chce deti povzbudiť, aby sa nebáli hovoriť s Bohom vlastnými slovami – úprimne, otvorene a tak, ako to cítia. Ukazuje im, že modlitba nemusí byť naučená naspamäť, ale môže byť živým rozhovorom, v ktorom môžu Bohu povedať všetko: radosť, obavy aj vďačnosť. Zároveň ich vedie k tomu, aby si vytvárali vlastný vzťah k modlitbe ako prirodzenej súčasti každého dňa.
Vydané v spolupráci s Liturgickým inštitútom v Košiciach a Liturgickou komisiou KBS.
