Leaving the City Behind
Discovering the elegance of contemporary country house architecture-where tradition meets modern design in stunning rural settins.
Country houses have always served as retreats for withdrawing, deceleration, and contemplation. The rural environment provides a refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, seamlessly embedded in nature. Today, there is a growing trend to reinterpret country living and merge it with the demands of the 21st century - creating a symbiosis of comfort, environmental awareness, and aesthetic restraint.
The focus is on harmoniously integrating architecture into the natural surroundings while emphasizing a strong connection to the landscape. Rural residences are increasingly designed with multifunctional spaces that can be flexibly adapted to evolving living conditions-for instance, home office solutions or separate units for multi-generational households. The featured designs, encompassing both new constructions and repurposed agricultural buildings such as stables and barns, showcase the diversity of contemporary rural architecture while preserving the identity of the countryside.
Önmagam árnyéka
Oszmán fia Oszmán, az Isztambulban született, ott felnőtt, majd az óceánokat teherhajókon bejáró, bálnák énekén könnyező világutazó, miután kénytelen visszatérni szülőföldjére, mindössze nyolcvanhárom nap alatt elveszíti testsúlyának felét. Oly sokáig volt távol hazájától, hogy már semmit sem talál ismerősnek. Az élete értelmét, a szerelmét kereste, de mindig mindent félbehagyott - egyetlen hű útitársa egy cserepes virág volt.
Ha az ember nem vigyáz, még megfertőzi az élet, a ragályos betegség, meditál magában Güray Süngü magányos hőse, aki újabb és újabb viszontagságokat átélve, szemlélődve hánykolódik a mindennapi élet és az álmok sodrásában is.
Mindannyian a helyünket keressük a világban - a török író fordulatos kalandokban bővelkedő regénye ehhez ritka kíméletlen őszinteséggel, egyben kivételes érzékenységgel megírt kalauz lehet mind a külső, mind a belső tájakon.

The Political Thought of David Hume
Aaron Alexander Zubia argues that the Epicurean roots of David Hume's philosophy gave rise to liberalism's unrelenting grip on the modern political imagination.Eighteenth-century Scottish philosopher David Hume has had an outsized impact on the political thinkers who came after him, from the nineteenth-century British Utilitarians to modern American social contract theorists. In this thorough and thoughtful new work, Aaron Alexander Zubia examines the forces that shaped Hume's thinking within the broad context of intellectual history, with particular focus on the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and the skeptical tradition.Zubia argues that through Hume's influence, Epicureanism—which elevates utility over moral truth—became the foundation of liberal political philosophy, which continues to dominate and limit political discourse today.

Kénytelen túljárni a halálos ellenség eszén, és kibírni a halált megvető bátorságot igénylő szertartás próbatételét.

Ílion minden évben áldozatot ajánl fel az istennőnek: két lokriszi szűznek kell részt vennie az életre-halálra szóló üldözésben, amelynek a célja eljutni az istennő templomába.
Ezer év alatt egyetlen szűznek sem sikerült élve kijutnia Ílionból.
Ebben az esztendőben Lia az egyik üldözött.
A harci kiképzésnek hála Liának van némi esélye a túlélésre, ám a vártnál sokkal komolyabb próbatétel elé áll: imádott, de katonailag képzetlen nővére, Quynh élete veszélybe kerül. Ílion kanyargós utcái valóságos útvesztőt képeznek, tele megtévesztő elágazásokkal és zsákutcákkal. És ha a tét nem lenne elég nagy, a vonakodó Liában vonzalom ébred a lehengerlően megnyerő ílioni tengerész, Iaszón iránt. Nem akar megbízni benne, mégis úgy vágyik rá, mint előtte soha senkire.
A rituális próbatétel megkezdődött. Most Lián múlik, hogy megtörje az istennő átkát, helyreállítsa Lokrisz régi dicsőségét, és megváltoztassa minden fiatal nő sorsát.
