First Love
'A singular, devastating journey into the ungovernable reaches of the heart' ObserverSHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2017Neve is a writer in her mid-30s married to an older man, Edwyn. For now they are in a place of relative peace, but their past battles have left scars. As Neve recalls the decisions that led her to this marriage, she tells of other loves and other debts, from her bullying father and her self-involved mother to a musician who played her and a series of lonely flights from place to place. Drawing the reader into the battleground of her relationship, Neve spins a story of helplessness and hostility, an ongoing conflict in which both husband and wife have played a part. But is this, nonetheless, also a story of love?
Reef
'A work of strange, slow-motion, underwater intensity. Put your ear to the page and you can almost hear the ocean whisper' IndependentA single lighted match banishes Triton from his father's home to the employ of Mister Salgado, a marine biologist obsessed by swamps, sea movements and a Sri Lankan island's disappearing reef. Stranded in London years later, Triton plumbs the depths of his childhood memories - a period of brewing political, ethical and religious turmoil - and brings us to understand how he has navigated this brave new world, which once lost will haunt him forever.
If This Be Magic
Why might Hamlet be even longer in Italian? How does the story of Romeo and Juliet begin . . . in Thai? How do you build a joke in German, or recreate a rhyme in Japanese? And why are Lady Macbeth's pronouns such a proble? hat does it mean to translate Shakespeare? When we change all the poetry, all the wordplay, all the syntax - all the words! - is it still Shakespeare? And is it still any good? Daniel Hahn, seasoned translator and Shakespeare fanatic, will change the way you think about language itself. Ranging widely across Shakespeare's works, and across the world's languages, this book explores why we choose the words we do and what effect they have. No knowledge of any particular language is required, though a bit of patience for the nerdiest of close reading is desirable. This micro-attention to detail reveals anew the joy of Shakespeare, celebrates creativity and revels in the power of words.

The Rules of Dating My One-Night Stand - Hogyan randizzunk az egyéjszakás kalandunkkal? - Hogyan randizzunk? 3.
Az egyéjszakás kalandok első és legfontosabb szabálya: ne szeress bele a nőbe!
Egy hosszúra nyúló magánéleti válságot követően végre megismerkedtem valakivel, akitől szikra gyúlt a bensőmben. Jobban mondva, a szikrák akkor pattantak ki, amikor összetűzésbe keveredtünk. Majd később - még aznap éjszaka - lángra lobbantak.
Egyetlen nő sem volt még rám olyan hatással, mint Devyn.
Mondanom sem kell, mennyire lelombozott, amikor egy csodás, együtt töltött éjszaka után egyszerűen faképnél hagyott. Képtelen voltam elfelejteni, de ő még a számát sem adta meg. Azt hittem, sosem találkozunk újra.
Ezért képzelhetitek, mennyire megdöbbentem, amikor az egyik szomszédom ajtaján kopogtatva nem más nyitott ajtót, mint ő.
Korábban azt hittem, hogy Devynt egyszerűen nem érdeklem. De szerinted mit érzett, amikor megtudta, hogy én vagyok a főbérlője, és éppen ki akarom lakoltatni...?
The One
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO FIND THE ONE?
A simple DNA test is all it takes. Just a quick mouth swab and soon you'll be matched with your perfect partner - the one you're genetically made for.
That's the promise made by Match Your DNA. A decade ago, the company announced that they had found the gene that pairs each of us with our soul mate. Since then, millions of people around the world have been Matched. But the discovery has its downsides: test results have led to the breakup of countless previously secure relationships, and shattered traditional ideas of dating, romance and love.
Now five very different people have received the notification that they've been Matched. They're each about to meet their one true love. But 'happily ever after' isn't guaranteed for everyone. Because even soul mates have secrets. And some are more shocking than others...

The Magician of Tiger Castle
Is true love the greatest form of magic?
Long ago, in a kingdom far away, the magician of tiger castle is on thin ice. Once the greatest in the land, Anatole's spells have dried up. He can't even turn sand into gold anymore. The only one who still believes in him is kind Princess Tullia, and he hopes - for the sake of their friendship - that he can soon redeem himself and stay within the king's court.
When the opportunity arises, Anatole is faced with an impossible decision. Princess Tullia is betrothed to the prince of a rich neighbouring kingdom, an alliance which will save bankrupt Esquaveta and all its citizens. But, Tullia has secretly fallen in love with a lowly apprentice scribe and refuses to wed the prince.
The King tasks Anatole with the most difficult magic of all: an anti-love potion. Anatole can save everything and everyone if he can shatter the young lovers' romance. But, with the fate of the kingdom hanging in the balance, can he achieve it? Can he even bring himself to try? After all, is true love not the purest form of magic?
Told with the same wit and warmth that has made Louis Sachar's books classics of children's literature, The Magician of Tiger Castle is a colourful and enigmatic tale of adventure, love, loss and triumph.

A Wish For Us - Ezt kívánom magunknak
Történet a zenéről, a gyógyulásról és a szerelem mindent legyőző erejéről.
A tizenkilenc éves Cromwell Dean az elektronikus tánczene
feltörekvő csillaga. Emberek ezrei rajonganak érte,
de senki sem ismeri igazán. Senki sem látja, mit rejt a szíve.
Egészen addig, amíg fel nem bukkan a lila ruhás lány.
Ő átlát a ú által emelt falakon, egészen a lelkében tátongó ürességig.
Amikor Cromwell maga mögött hagyja Anglia szürkeségét,
hogy a forró Dél-Karolinában zenét tanuljon, a legkevésbé sem számít arra,
hogy újra látja őt. És arra végképp nem, hogy folyton ez a lány
jár majd az eszében, akár egy végtelenül ismétlődő dallam.
Bonnie Farraday a zenéért él. Minden hangot beenged a szívébe, és nem érti,
hogyan lehet, hogy valaki, aki annyira tehetséges, mint Cromwell, képes
elzárni magát ettől. A ú a múltja elől menekül, ezt pedig Bonnie is tudja jól.
Próbálja távol tartani magát a útól, de valami újra és újra visszahúzza hozzá.
Bonnie-tól újra berobbannak a színek Cromwell sötét világába.
Cromwell az a zene, amitől Bonnie szíve kihagy egy ütemet.
De amikor árnyék vetül Bonnie életére, Cromwellnek kell fényt hoznia
úgy, ahogy csak ő képes rá. Segítenie kell megtalálni a lány törékeny szívében
elveszett dalt. A remény szimfóniájával. A szerelem szimfóniájával.
A közös szimfóniájukkal.

szerzett tapasztalatait. A tánctól a színjátszásig vezető utat,
a fiatalon kötött házasságát egy szerencsejáték-függővel, a nagy sikereket
és veszteségeket. Felidézi a nők jogaiért vívott küzdelmeit, de őszintén
mesél második férje betegségéről és elvesztéséről is.

Totally Awesome Rides
Neon Rides revisits the vibrant and often overlooked vehicles of the 1980s and 1990s, a period once dismissed by traditional collectors and now ripe for reappraisal.
Defined by wedge-shaped silhouettes, turbocharged ambition, and the unapologetic embrace of design excess, these machines were born at the crossroads of analog grit and digital possibility. From underappreciated oddities to cult classics, the cars of this era reflected a world in flux--politically, culturally, and technologically.
Neon Rides is a visual and cultural excavation of a moment when car culture broke from the past and rewired our relationship to identity, aspiration, and speed. Developed in collaboration with the Petersen Automotive Museum, the book combines archival imagery, cultural commentary, and curatorial insight to celebrate a misunderstood chapter in automotive history. It captures the spirit of an era where pop culture, performance, and personality collided, leaving behind tire marks that still matter today.
