A klastrom titka
A HarperCollins kiadó Austen-projektjében népszerű kortárs írók kaptak felkérést arra, hogy modern köntösbe öltöztetve írják újra Jane Austen csodálatos regényeit. Az első variáció, Joanna Trollope Értelem & érzelem című kötete magyar fordításban 2013-ban jelent meg a Kossuth Kiadó gondozásában. Ezt követi most A klastrom titka Val McDermid változatában.
Egy nem hétköznapi életre vágyó hétköznapi lány, a tizenhét éves Catherine, azaz "Cat" Morland teljes biztonságban él a falusias Dorsetben, minden vágyott romantika és izgalom nélkül. Amikor ódon szomszédjai magukkal hívják az Edinburgh-i Fesztiválra, Cat biztos benne, hogy végre várja a nagy kaland.
Megismerkedik egy ellenállhatatlan fiatalemberrel, Henry Tilney-vel, akinek tábornok apja meghívja a lányt Northanger Abbey-ba. Cat képzelete elszabadul: egy ódon skót apátság épülete, roskadozó tornyok, titkos termek, kísértetek... és Henry! Mi lehetne romantikusabb? Ám Catre nem az vár a wifitől is elzárt, elszigetelt helyen, amire számított.

Zola - Contes et Nouvelles 2
Si les contes et nouvelles de sa jeunesse frappent par leur fantaisie, les textes rassemblés dans ce volume, parus entre 1875 et 1899, font de Zola, l'égal d'un Maupassant, l'un des maîtres de la nouvelle naturaliste, et l'un des maîtres de la nouvelle tout court. Tantôt librement inspirées de faits divers rapportés dans la presse d'alors (L'Inondation), tantôt proches de l'étude sociale (Comment on meurt) ou de la satire pittoresque - Les Coquillages de Monsieur Chabre est un petit chef-d'oeuvre d'amoralité sur le thme de l'adultre -, ces narrations donnent voir le romancier en vacances, libéré du poids des théories, tout entier livré au plaisir d'écrire. Le résultat est souvent étonnant: explorant la veine fantastique, Zola conte dans Angeline l'histoire d'une maison hantée; dans La Mort d'Olivier Bécaille, ce sont ses propres obsessions qu'il dévoile, travers l'angoissante aventure d'un homme enterré vivant... Qu'ils soient célbres, comme L'Attaque du moulin qui figura en tte du recueil naturaliste des Soirées de Médan, ou injustement tombés dans l'oubli, ces récits constituent une lecture indispensable pour tous ceux qui croient connaître l'auteur des Rougon-Macquart.

Designing Interactions
A pioneer in interaction design tells the stories of designers who changed the way people use everyday things in the digital era, interviewing the founders of Google, the creator of The Sims, the inventors and developers of the mouse and the desktop, and many others.
Digital technology has changed the way we interact with everything from the games we play to the tools we use at work. Designers of digital technology products no longer regard their job as designing a physical object—beautiful or utilitarian—but as designing our interactions with it. In Designing Interactions, award-winning designer Bill Moggridge introduces us to forty influential designers who have shaped our interaction with technology. Moggridge, designer of the first laptop computer (the GRiD Compass, 1981) and a founder of the design firm IDEO, tells us these stories from an industry insider's viewpoint, tracing the evolution of ideas from inspiration to outcome. The innovators he interviews—including Will Wright, creator of The Sims, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google, and Doug Engelbart, Bill Atkinson, and others involved in the invention and development of the mouse and the desktop—have been instrumental in making a difference in the design of interactions. Their stories chart the history of entrepreneurial design development for technology.
Moggridge and his interviewees discuss such questions as why a personal computer has a window in a desktop, what made Palm's handheld organizers so successful, what turns a game into a hobby, why Google is the search engine of choice, and why 30 million people in Japan choose the i-mode service for their cell phones. And Moggridge tells the story of his own design process and explains the focus on people and prototypes that has been successful at IDEO—how the needs and desires of people can inspire innovative designs and how prototyping methods are evolving for the design of digital technology.
Designing Interactions is illustrated with more than 700 images, with color throughout. Accompanying the book is a DVD that contains segments from all the interviews intercut with examples of the interactions under discussion.
Interviews with:
Bill Atkinson, Durrell Bishop, Brendan Boyle, Dennis Boyle, Paul Bradley, Duane Bray, Sergey Brin, Stu Card, Gillian Crampton Smith, Chris Downs, Tony Dunne, John Ellenby, Doug Englebart, Jane Fulton Suri, Bill Gaver, Bing Gordon, Rob Haitani, Jeff Hawkins, Matt Hunter, Hiroshi Ishii, Bert Keely, David Kelley, Rikako Kojima, Brenda Laurel, David Liddle, Lavrans Lovlie, John Maeda, Paul Mercer, Tim Mott, Joy Mountford, Takeshi Natsuno, Larry Page, Mark Podlaseck, Fiona Raby, Cordell Ratzlaff, Ben Reason, Jun Rekimoto, Steve Rogers, Fran Samalionis, Larry Tesler, Bill Verplank, Terry Winograd, Will Wright

Just Fall - A Novel
Perfect for fans of Patricia Highsmith and Gillian Flynn, this sexy and seductive debut novel asks: How can you find out that the person you love is a killer . . . and continue to love him anyway? THEN Ellie Larrabee’s life is perfect. She’s thriving at work, living in a fabulous apartment, and engaged to the man of her dreams. To all appearances, Ellie and Rob Beauman are a golden couple—blessed with good looks, success, and romantic chemistry that’s off the charts. Surely their future together promises nothing but happiness. But on what should be the most wonderful day of her life, moments after saying “I do,” a shocking secret threatens to shatter Ellie’s happily-ever-after. She learns that the man she just married and loves with all her heart hides a dark past beneath his charismatic exterior. And the more harrowing truth she uncovers, the deeper Ellie is swept into a vortex of betrayal and uncertainty from which she may never escape. NOW On the island paradise of St. Lucia, Ellie isn’t basking in honeymoon splendor—she’s grappling with the chilling realities of her violently derailed life: Rob has blood on his hands and some very dangerous people on his trail, and only Ellie stands between him and the lethal destiny he’s facing. Rob never dreamed that Ellie would be dragged into the deadly world he’s trapped in—or used as a pawn against him. And Ellie could never have imagined how far she’d be forced to go to save the man she loves. Praise for Just Fall “[A] tense, wild fever dream of a debut.”—Entertainment Weekly “What a terrific novel! Just Fall arrived in the mail this morning and I read the book in one sitting, which I haven’t done for years. Nina Sadowsky’s premise is original, her voice is clear, her storytelling skills are remarkable, and her pacing is perfect.”—Sue Grafton “Character-rich and compulsively readable, Just Fall is a marvelous surprise. Exploring the universal need for family and human connection, and the costs incurred when those bonds are severed, Just Fall takes the reader on a wild ride through the psyches of two damaged people who hope to find redemption in each other. The writing is lush, the insights sharp. This novel is a winner.”—Diane Keaton “Apt comparisons to The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl . . . The tension becomes almost unbearable. . . . The many plot strands are neatly woven together as the story hurtles towards its shocking . . . ending.”—Booklist “Chilling . . . Sadowsky’s debut is an excellent foray into the depths of the depraved criminal mind and its control over others.”—RT Book Reviews (four stars) “[An] intriguing setup . . . Sex and violence abound. . . . Ellie must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice for a man she only thought she knew.”—Publishers Weekly “Impressive and memorable . . . [Sadowsky’s] creative abilities, honed in the film industry, are on display here. She knows just how much to give the reader, and when.”—Bookreporter “A chilling story exploring the fine lines between love and hate, good and evil, Just Fall is a wild ride of unnerving twists and turns, right up to the last page.”—Andrea Kane, New York Times bestselling author of The Silence That Speaks From the Hardcover edition.

Guild Wars - A végzet pereme
A végzet szólította őket - és ők választottak.
Tyria sötét zugaiban az őssárkányok felébredtek évezredes álmukból. Először Primordus érkezett, aki felkavarta a Mélységet, és az asurák kénytelenek voltak a felszínre menekülni. Fél évszázaddal később Jormag ébredt fel, aki kiűzte a nornokat az Északi Didergőcsúcs-hegység fagyos tájairól, fiakat és fivéreket rontva meg. Egy nemzedékkel később Zhaitan emelkedett fel egy kataklizma kíséretében, ami átformálta a kontinenst, és vízözönnel sújtotta Kryta emberlakta országának fővárosát.
Tyria fajai a végzet peremére sodródtak. Hősök ütköztek meg a sárkánycsatlósokkal, de őket is megrontották, és az ellenség oldalára álltak. Seregek vonultak a sárkányok ellen, de elsöpörték őket. A törpök egész fajukat feláldozták, hogy legyőzzenek egyetlen sárkánybajnokot. A halandók kora hamarosan véget ér.
Eljött a hősök ideje. Míg Tyria fajai széthúznak, hat hős egyesíti erejét, hogy népükért harcoljanak: Eir, a norn vadásznő, akiben egy művész lelke lakozik; Snaff, az asura lángelme és becsvágyó segédje, Zojja; Rytlock, az ádáz és száműzött charr; Caithe, a halálos sylvari, aki mélyre temeti titkait és Logan, az emberek vitéz őrzője, akinek hűsége megoszlik. Együtt alkotják A Végzet Peremét. Együtt válaszolnak a hívásra. De elég lesz, amit tehetnek?

The Idiot
Inspired by an image of Christ's suffering, Fyodor Dostoyevsky set out to portray "a truly beautiful soul" colliding with the brutal reality of contemporary society. Returning to St. Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naive Prince Myshkin-known as "the idiot"-pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General and his circle. But after becoming infatuated with the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna, Myshkin finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and, ultimately, murder. This new translation by David McDuff is sensitive to the shifting registers of the original Russian, capturing the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative for a new generation of readers.

Fences And Windows
This is a history of the rise of the anti-globalization movement, from Seattle to September 11th, 2001. The text charts the group's most notable successes and its failures and is international in scope, covering everything from the Zapatistas' rebellion in Mexico to the Social Centres in Italy, from the biggest peaceful protest demos since the 1960s to the gassings and shootings at Genoa. The author analyses developments in local democracy, in law enforcement, in privatization laws, in capital migrations, in union behaviour, in marketing, in summitry. She gets close to the suited summits - the WTO, the G8, the IMF, and NAFTA - and looks at issues as diverse as bioterrorism, pollution, hypocrisy, fear and confusion. The book could be considered a portrait, or rather the underlying negative, of the planet's torrid time between the Seattle summit and the world-changing events of 11 September 2001.
