Warm Bodies
‘R’ is a zombie. He has no name, no memories, and no pulse, but he has dreams. Amongst the ruins of an abandoned city, R meets a girl. Her name is Julie and she is the opposite of everything he knows – warm and bright and very much alive, she is a blast of colour in a dreary grey landscape. For reasons he can’t understand, R chooses to save Julie instead of eating her, and a tense yet strangely tender relationship begins.
This has never happened before. It breaks the rules and defies logic, but R is no longer content with life in the grave. He wants to breathe again, he wants to live, and Julie wants to help him. But their grim, rotting world won’t be changed without a fight...
A megtorlás játéka - Hades 2.
Hades, a holtak istene nem áll senki oldalára, és nem szegi meg a szabályokat. Elveiben nincs kivétel - sem isten, sem halandó, de még a szeretője, Persephone, a tavasz istennője kedvéért sem.
A félelem általában elejét veszi a megtorlásnak. De most nem elég. Amikor Hera, a nők istennője felajánlja Hadesnak a lehetőséget, hogy segítsen neki megbuktatni Zeust, ő nemet mond. Hera azonban
nem viseli jól az elutasítást: büntetésből próbák sorozatára ítéli a holtak istenét.
Mitikus szörnyetegek lemészárlása és halálos ereklyék visszaszerzése - minden egyes próbatétel lehetetlenebbnek tűnik az előzőnél, és egyre inkább elvonja Hades figyelmét Persephonéról.
Csakhogy a tavasz istennője is saját tragédiájával küzd, amely megingatja abban a hitében, hogy lehet-e egyáltalán az Alvilág királynője.

A chance meeting throws Alegria and Zivoin together – and for a brief moment, they feel at home. But their journey is just beginning, and what follows will draw them irresistibly across countries and continents, leaving them both forever changed.

An Arrow in Flight
Mary Lavin is the great unsung voice of Irish fiction. Here are her very best, most electric stories: illuminating, moving, arrows in flight.
Mary Lavin’s stories feature ordinary people in the tight confines of ordinary life.
From rural Ireland and the streets of Dublin they charm, irritate and intrigue in complicated brilliance, appearing to us with unique freshness. Good friendships, bad deeds, frustrations, missteps, hope and laughter are all found in captivating stories where real and astonishing things happen. Few women were so consistently published in the New Yorker and yet today Lavin’s work is largely unpublished and overlooked.
This collection re-establishes her as one of the most genius, irresistible and memorable voices of the last century. SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY COLM TÓIBÍN.

Syn medvědího otce
Aby se vyhnul nebezpečí, je muž v lese nucen zabít medvědici. Jejího mláděte je mu však líto, a tak jej vezme domů ke své ženě. Tento akt milosrdenství a lítosti rychle zasáhne do osudu páru, jehož láska je podrobena zkoušce narozením neobvyklého dítěte... Syn medvědího otce, němý grafický román francouzského autora Nicolase Presla, vypráví dojemný příběh o soužití lidí a zvířat. Mimořádně sugestivní a poetický, ale místy také hořký příběh o životě potomka, který není ani člověkem, ani zvířetem, se mění ve fantastickou alegorii, která beze slov hovoří o univerzálních tématech lásky a zklamání, odpuštění a nespravedlnosti, sounáležitosti a odcizení. S přesvědčivým a dovedným vizuálním stylem, který čerpá z umělecké tradice mezi dvěma světovými válkami, autor utkal emocionálně nabité a dramaticky poutavé vyprávění o věčném hledání smyslu a identity.

The Language of Lies
How can you tell if someone is lying to you? Is it possible to separate the truth from lies in what people say? And when should you trust what you hear? Everyone lies. We lie to our family, friends, colleagues and strangers. But some lies are extremely damaging.
They can destroy relationships, ruin lives and create distrust and discord. These lies need to be detected. And they can be, if we know how to listen out for them.
Forensic linguist Dr. Kirsty King knows that, as convincing as some liars might be, their lies can be exposed by paying close attention to the language they use. It is possible for us to detect whether someone is being deceptive by listening out for key linguistic indicators in the way that they speak and the things that they say. Drawing on research from forensic linguistics and psychology, this book presents real-life case studies and stories to show you how language can reveal the liars amongst us: from partners or colleagues misleading us to killers trying to get away with murder.
