I'm Still Here: My 90 Years
'I have 90 years to share: 90 years of joy and sorrow, triumph and disaster, love and loss, laughter and tears; 90 years of watching the world change around me beyond my wildest imagination. Ninety years and still counting...'Amanda Barrie, the iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, was born in 1935, above her grandfather's tailor's shop in Ashton Under Lyne, during a ferocious thunderstorm. And ever since her journey through life has been a stormy one. This book will tell the whole story for the first time, from her expulsion from two schools and running away from home aged 13 to be a Soho showgirl, to rising from the chorus to star in the West End, to Carry On Cabby and Carry On Cleo, to Corrie, Bad Girls and more. Amanda has become something of a national treasure, entertaining us all, whilst not hesitating to speak up for herself and others on national television, including on celebrity editions of Hell's Kitchen and Big Brother. Having performed in her teenage years alongside fellow national icon Barbara Windsor, Amanda's life has in many ways followed a similar trajectory to become a huge household name. Amanda will pay particular attention to the whole new life she has led since she left Coronation Street in 2001. Packed with anecdotes and memories of her nine decades on stage and screen, she will share the moments that came to define her life. She will fully explore her struggle to come to terms with who she was, relating in painful detail the traumas faced by a young gay woman in the 1950s and early 60s. She will explain why she kept that side of her a secret for most of her adult life, and how she feared that she would lose her job and her home if the truth became known. For the first time, she will tell the full story of how she met her wife, novelist Hilary Bonner, fell in love, overcame all manner of difficulties, and built a new life together.

Menšia a väčšia legenda osvätom Gerardovi biskupovi
Postava svätého Gerarda, jedného z najvýznamnejších predstaviteľov uhorskej cirkvi v 11. storočí, púta pozornosť z viacerých perspektív. Gerard je jedným z mála vzdelancov pôsobiacich v raných stredoeurópskych kresťanských kráľovstvách a kniežatstvách, ktorých dielo sa čiastočne zachovalo.
Prostredníctvom vzácneho teologicko-filozofického spisu, úvah či „rozjímania“svätého Gerarda (Deliberatio Gerardi) – zachovaného v jedinom stredovekom rukopise – máme možnosť nahliadnuť do autentických myšlienok, úvah a biblických interpretácií prvého čanádskeho biskupa.
Idealizovaný obraz o osobnosti svätého Gerarda možno zároveň nájsť v legendách o svätom Gerardovi. Obe legendy sú unikátnym svedectvom o dobe poslednej veľkej konfrontácie pohanskej tradície a nastupujúceho kresťanstva v Uhorskom kráľovstve. Legendy o svätom Gerardovi však možno považovať a jza pramene, ktoré približujú okolnosti a pozadie vzniku a postupného šírenia Gerardovho kultu. Dve legendy, pravdepodobne z 12. a 14. storočia, sú súčasne dokladom genézy hagiografického žánru v Uhorsku a poodhaľujú aj zámery a motívy samotných autorov legiend.
Nová latinsko-slovenská edícia, obsahujúca aj sprievodné štúdie o osobnosti a dobe svätého Gerarda, prináša prvý slovenský preklad oboch legiend o svätom Gerardovi.

Class Clown
America’s most beloved wiseass finally tells his life story with all the humor you’d expect from a man who made a career out of making fun of pretty much everything. How does the son of a Presbyterian minister wind up winning a Pulitzer Prize for writing a wildly inaccurate newspaper column read by millions of people? In Class Clown, Dave Barry takes us on a hilarious ride, starting with a childhood largely spent throwing rocks for entertainment—there was no internet—and preparing for nuclear war by hiding under a classroom desk. After literally getting elected class clown in high school, he went to college, where, as an English major, he read snippets of great literature when he was not busy playing in a rock band (it was the sixties). He began his journalism career at a small-town Pennsylvania newspaper where he learned the most important rule of local journalism: never confuse a goose with a duck. His journey then took a detour into the business world, where as a writing consultant he spent years trying, with limited success, to get corporate folks to, for God’s sake, get the point. Somehow from there he wound up as a humor columnist for The Miami Herald, where his boss was a wild man who encouraged him to write about anything that struck him as amusing and to never worry about alienating anyone. His columns were not popular with everyone: He managed to alienate a vast army of Neil Diamond fans, and the entire state of Indiana. But he also developed a loyal following of readers who alerted him to the threat of exploding toilets, not to mention the fire hazards posed by strawberry pop-tarts and Rollerblade Barbie, which he demonstrated to the nation on the David Letterman show. He led his readers on a crusade against telemarketers that ultimately caused the national telemarketers association to stop answering its own phones because it was getting—irony alert—too many unwanted calls. He has also run for president multiple times, although so far without success. He became a book author and joined a literary rock band, which was not good at playing music but did once perform with Bruce Springsteen, who sang backup to Dave. As for his literary merits, Dave writes: “I’ll never have the critical acclaim of, say, Marcel Proust. But was Marcel Proust ever on Carson? Did he ever steal a hotel sign for Oprah?” Class Clown isn’t just a memoir; it’s a vibrant celebration of a life rich with humor, absurdity, joy, and sadness. Dave says the most important wisdom imparted by his Midwestern parents was never to take anything too seriously. This laughter-filled book is proof that he learned that lesson well.

Houdini of the Sea
Today, Charles Lightoller is known primarily as the most senior officer to survive the sinking of Titanic, but that was just one chapter in his remarkable story. To avoid the cotton mills of his native Lancashire town, a 13-year-old Lightoller joined the crew of a four-masted sailing ship, and he would remain at sea on various ships until 1920. During his thirty-year maritime career and beyond, he would survive four shipwrecks, a Zeppelin bombing, a duel with a U-boat and a perilous motor-yacht mission to Dunkirk, ultimately emerging as a hero of both world wars.Compiled using extensive research, including previously unseen family information, Houdini of the Sea is the extraordinary tale of a man who escaped death many times over.
Z budúcej pozostalosti
Výber textov tejto knižky je žánrovo i tematicky rozmanitý, jednu skupinu tvoria príhovory, ktoré odzneli na viac alebo menej oficiálnych fórach, svoj priestor dostali predslovy k výtvarnému katalógu či k ročenke galérie, a ďalej sú tam texty, ktorými autor prispel do kolektívnych publikácií alebo do príležitostných tlačovín. Úplnú verejnú premiéru má napríklad reportáž z dovolenky, či neskoro juvenilná veršovačka, ako aj aforizmy, doteraz desaťročia skryté na dne povestného šuflíka. Osobitnú skupinu tvoria potom tri texty označené formulkou „v obrátenom garde“, ide teda o rozhovory, kde Balogh nebol pýtajúcim sa, ale respondentom. Keďže teda predkladané texty nevyšli (až na jednu výnimku) v autorových bývalých domovských novinách SME a Denník N, zdalo sa mu vhodné nenechať ich kdekade roztratené, ale sústrediť ich do tohto dielka. Túto žánrovú i tematickú rozmanitosť zvýrazňuje aj časový oblúk niekoľkých desaťročí, počas ktorých jednotlivé texty vznikali.

Vlčí kráľ
Zakázaná príťažlivosť, krvavá vojna a vlčí kráľ, ktorému nemožno odolať.
Princezná Aurora nikdy netúžila po korune ani po politickom sobáši. Túžila po slobode.
V predvečer svadby však urobí rozhodnutie, ktoré zmení osud celého kráľovstva – zachráni mladého vlkolaka odsúdeného na smrť v aréne, kde sa ľudia zabávajú krvavými zápasmi zajatých vlkov. Tým na seba upriami pozornosť samotného alfu, obávaného vodcu svorky, ktorý ju ešte v tú noc unesie.
Aurora sa ocitá v drsných severných krajoch medzi vlkolakmi, ktorých ju od detstva učili nenávidieť. Znepriatelené svorky sa spájajú a vojna medzi ľuďmi a vlkmi je na spadnutie. Alfa je presvedčený, že princezná je kľúčom k víťazstvu.
Lenže čím viac času spolu trávia, tým ťažšie je predstierať, že sú nepriatelia. Kým sa na oboch stranách bojiska schyľuje ku krvavému stretu, medzi princeznou a vlčím kráľom sa rodí zakázaná príťažlivosť.
Vlčí kráľ je prvá časť série, ktorá pobláznila BookTok – temná romantasy plná napätia a vášne pre fanúšikov vlkolakov (v kiltoch), silných hrdiniek a príbehov, kde hranica medzi nenávisťou a túžbou je tenšia než ostrie meča.

Román Belasý zámok vychádza 100 rokov od prvého vydania.
Valancy Stirlingová má dvadsaťdeväť rokov, je slobodná a celý život prežila pod
dohľadom prísnej rodiny, ktorá jej neustále pripomína, čo by mala robiť a kým by
mala byť. Tichá, zakríknutá a bez odvahy ísť vlastnou cestou nachádza jedinú útechu
v „zakázaných“ knihách Johna Fostera a vo svojich predstavách o živote na Belasom
zámku.
Keď sa však od doktora dozvie zdrvujúcu správu, rozhodne sa prestať báť. Prvýkrát
v živote začne robiť to, čo naozaj chce – postaví sa rodine, nájde si prácu a spozná
tajomného Barneyho Snaitha, muža so zlou povesťou. Objaví prekvapujúci nový svet
plný lásky a dobrodružstiev, ktoré ďaleko presahujú jej najtajnejšie sny.

Oheň a krv (špeciálne vydanie)
300 rokov pred HROU O TRÓNY vládli v západnej zemi draci
Vzrušujúce dejiny Targaryenovcov ožívajú v majstrovskom spracovaní z pera autora Piesne ľadu a ohňa, ságy, ktorá sa stala predlohou seriálu Hra o tróny z produkcie HBO.
Toto je prvý zväzok úplných dvojzväzkových dejín rodu Targaryenovcov v Západnej zemi a prináša oheň i besnenie, aké fanúšikovia očakávajú od medzinárodne úspešného autora Georgea R. R. Martina.
Stáročia pred udalosťami opísanými v Hre o tróny sa Targaryenovci, jediný rod dračích pánov, ktorý prežil Skazu Valýrie, usadili na Dračom kameni. Dejiny Ohňa a krvi sa začínajú príbehom legendárneho Aegona Dobyvateľa, ktorý dal zhotoviť kultový Železný trón, a pokračujú rozprávaním o nasledujúcich pokoleniach Targaryenovcov, ktoré sa snažili udržať si ho, až po občiansku vojnu, ktorá takmer rozoštvala ich dynastiu.
Čo sa skutočne stalo počas Tanca drakov? Prečo bola cesta do Valýrie po Skaze smrteľne nebezpečná? Aké hrozné zločiny spáchal Maegor Krutý? Ako to vyzeralo v Západnej zemi, keď oblohe kraľovali draky? To je len zopár otázok, ktoré zodpovie táto vyčerpávajúca kronika, spísaná učeným majstrom z Citadely.
Oheň a krv prináša strhujúcu hru o tróny v rozsahu a veľkoleposti Gibbonových Dejín úpadku a zániku Rímskej ríše a ponúka čitateľom nový pohľad na dynamickú, občas krvavú, no vždy fascinujúcu históriu Západnej zeme.
S hlavou v oblakoch
Keď sklamaná romantička začne pracovať pre príťažlivého majiteľa ranča, v ohrození nie je len jej srdce. Adelaide Proctorová, mladá žena s hlavou v oblakoch, túži po mužovi, ktorý bude stelesnením knižného hrdinu. Keď sa však jej snaha nájsť si manžela skončí katastrofou a ponížením, zaumieni si, že svoje romantické túžby nechá za sebou, a uchádza sa o nedobrodružné miesto guvernantky na ovčom ranči v strednom Texase. Gideon Westcott sa vzdal privilegovaného života v Anglicku, aby si urobil meno v americkom vlnárskom priemysle. Ani vo sne by mu nenapadlo, že sa zo dňa na deň stane otcom. Päťročná Isabella navyše od smrti svojej matky neprehovorila ani jediné slovo. Nekonvenčnosť novej guvernantky Gideona znepokojuje... no zároveň fascinuje. On si však rozptýlenia nemôže dovoliť. Musí riadiť ranč, dohliadať na strihanie oviec a vyriešiť podozrivé prerezávanie plotov. Keď si po Isabellu – a jej dedičstvo – príde jej strýko, Gideon a Adelaide musia spolupracovať, aby dievčatko ochránili pred jeho úkladmi, a čoskoro už ani jeden z nich nedokáže poprieť silnejúcu príťažlivosť medzi nimi. Bude však Adelaide po toľkých sklamaniach a bolesti ochotná stiahnuť hlavu z oblakov a riskovať svoje srdce?
