The Death of Democracy
WHAT CAUSED THE FALL OF THE MOST PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPE, AND THE RISE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING?
In the 1930s, Germany was at a turning point, with many looking to the Nazi phenomenon as part of widespread resentment towards cosmopolitan liberal democracy and capitalism. This was a global situation that pushed Germany to embrace authoritarianism, nationalism and economic self-sufficiency, kick-starting a revolution founded on new media technologies, and the formidable political and self-promotional skills of its leader.
Based on award-winning research and recently discovered archival material, The Death of Democracy is a panoramic new survey of one of the most important periods in modern history, and a book with a resounding message for the world today.
'Extremely fine... with careful prose and scholarship, he brings these events close to us.' Timothy Snyder, The New York Times
'Intelligent, well-informed... intriguing.' The Times
'With the injection of fresh contemporary voices, The Death of Democracy is also a thoughtful reflection of how our time more resembles the Thirties than the Noughties.' Daily Telegraph

Broken Stars
A new anthology of Chinese short-fiction by award winning author Ken Liu. Here are sixteen short stories from China's groundbreaking SFF writers, edited and translated by award-winning author Ken Liu.
In Hugo award-winner Liu Cixin's 'Moonlight', a man is contacted by three future versions of himself, each trying to save their world from destruction. Hao Jingfang's 'The New Year Train' sees 1,500 passengers go missing on a train that vanishes into space. In the title story by Tang Fei, a young girl is shown how the stars can reveal the future.
In addition, three essays explore the history and rise of Chinese SFF publishing, contemporary Chinese fandom, and how the growing interest in Chinese SFF has impacted writers who had long laboured in obscurity.
By turns dazzling, melancholy and thought-provoking, Broken Stars celebrates the vibrancy and diversity of SFF voices emerging from China.
'Dreamlike and hypnotic, evocative and inspiring' THE BOOKBAG.
'Ken Liu is a genius' ELIZABETH BEAR.
'An instant classic ... Poetry on every page' HUGH HOWEY.

Cabins
Life in the Woods Creative cabin architecture, from California to Sapporo Ever since Henry David Thoreau's described his two years, two months, and two days of refuge existence at Walden Pond, Massachusetts, in Walden, or, Life in the Woods (1854), the idea of a cabin dwelling has seduced the modern psyche. In the past decade, as our material existence and environmental footprint has grown exponentially, architects around the globe have become particularly interested in the possibilities of the minimal, low-impact, and isolated abode.
This Bibliotheca Universalis edition of Cabins combines insightful text, rich photography, and bright, contemporary illustrations by Marie-Laure Cruschi to show how this particular architectural type presents special opportunities for creative thinking. In eschewing excess, the cabin limits actual spatial intrusion to the bare essentials of living requirements, while in responding to its typically rustic setting, it foregrounds eco-friendly solutions. The cabin comes to showcase some of the most inventive and forward-looking practice of contemporary architecture, with Renzo Piano, Terunobu Fujimori, Tom Kundig, and many fresh young professionals all embracing such distilled sanctuary spaces.
The book showcases the variety of cabins in use and geography. From an artist studio on the Suffolk coast in England to eco-home huts in the Western Ghats region of India, this collection is as exciting in its international reach as it is in its array of briefs, clients, and situations. Constant throughout, however, is architectural innovation, and an inspiring sense of contemplation and coexistence as people return to nature and to a less destructive model of being in the world. About the series:

The Pininfarina Book
What is innovation? The dictionary defines it as "renewal through the use of new processes and technologies." In advertising, everything is an innovation. But what is truly innovative? Since 1930, the Pininfarina design firm of Turin, Italy, has been answering that question. This is where the Cistalia 202 was developed, the first vehicle to be added to MoMA's permanent collection. The list goes on: the interior of the new stadium for Juventus Turin, the Nash Healey Spider seen in Billy Wilder's Sabrina, and the legendary Ferrari Dino 246 and Ferrari Testarossa. However, Pininfarina is not resting on its laurels, but blasting full speed ahead into the future with an expanded portfolio while honoring its heritage. Whether it's a solution for sustainable mobility, interior designs, or household gadgets, all Pininfarina projects bear an unmistakable signature. To visually celebrate the history and influence of Pininfarina, there is no one better suited than a man who has made his own unmistakable mark on automotive photography. Gunther Raupp has spent 30 years photographing cars for Ferrari's official calendars, which enjoy a cult following among the experts. He has two successful books with teNeues, the most recent being The Ferrari Book. As a star photographer and connoisseur of industrial design, Raupp showcases a company that embodies true italianita.

Star Wars: A Birodalom visszavág - Bizonyos szemszögből
A Birodalom visszavág
Negyven év
Negyven történet
1980. május 21-én mutatták be A Birodalom visszavág című filmet, és ezzel a Star Wars valódi sagává vált. A film negyvenedik évfordulójának tiszteletére negyven szerző megírta A Birodalom visszavág ikonikus jeleneteit úgy, ahogyan azokat egy-egy mellékszereplő láthatta, legyen az hős, gazfickó, droid vagy bármilyen furcsa teremtmény.
Austin Walkers feltárja, hogy - bármennyire képtelenségnek tűnik is - hogyan fogott össze Dengar, a fejvadász és IG-88 annak érdekében, hogy elkapják Han Solót.
Hank Green egy természettudósról mesél nekünk, akit lebilincsel a fagyos Hoth bolygó élővilága.
Martha Wells bevezet minket a Felhőváros mélyén élő ugnaughtok világába.
Mark Oshiro egy wampáról ír, aki sok mindent elveszített, de a kegyetlen körülmények között is kitart, és életben marad.
Seth Dickinson arról mesél, hogy milyen ára van a könyörtelen Birodalom szolgálatának egy pusztulásra ítélt birodalomi hadihajó parancsnoki hídján.
És még sok egyéb vidám vagy szívszorító, netán éppen meghökkentő történettel lepi meg olvasóit ez a rendhagyó novelláskötet.

Ábel a rengetegben -Helikon zsebkönyvek 15.
,Abban a nevezetes ezerkilencszáz és huszadik évben, vagyis egy esztendőre rá, hogy a románok kézhez vettek minket, székelyeket, az én életemben még külön is igen nagy fordulat állott bé. Akkor is Ábelnek hívtak engem; s ott laktunk Csíkcsicsóban, abban a nagy káposztatermelő faluban, a felcsíki járásban, éppen az Olt vize mellett. Apám, akit Gergelynek neveztek, még élt abban az időben, s közbirtokossági erdőpásztor volt. Ott is lakott fenn az erdőn, egyedül egy kalibában; s csak akkor jövögetett haza a házhoz, amikor az elesége elfogyott. Ilyenkor édesanyám ismét feltarisnyálta, s azzal visszament az erdei szállásra, hogy legalább egy hétig megint ne lássuk. Gyermek a háznál rajtam kívül nem volt, s én ezt nem is bántam, mert engemet is csak bajosan tudtak iskolába járatni s ruházni, olyan nagy szegénységben éltünk."
Így kezdődik Tamási Áron talán legismertebb műve, az 1932-ben Kolozsváron megjelent Ábel a rengetegben. Hőse a tizenöt esztendős talpraesett, okos kamaszfiú, akit apja elszerzett erdőpásztornak a Hargitára, a csíkszeredai bank erdejébe. Ábelt valójában a szegénység űzi, nem a kalandvágy, "hegybéli" történetét is inkább az elemi létküzdelem irányítja, semmint a puszta kíváncsiság és a szabadságvágy. Sorsát fegyelemmel, bátorsággal viseli, sikeresen megküzd a rablókkal is. Végül megfogadja, hogy a szegények védelmezője lesz.
World Aflame: The Long War, 1914-1945
'Purists argue that colourising black and white photographs is sacrilege, but the world has always been in colour. Truth be told, monochrome is a contrivance. Human experience is always colourful' The Times. The epic, harrowing and world-changing story - in words and colourized images - of global conflict from the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the obliteration of Hiroshima by the dropping of the first atom bomb. The World Aflame will embrace not only the total conflagrations of 1914-18 and 1939-45 and the international tensions, conflicting ideologies and malign economic forces that set them in train, but also the civil wars of the interwar period in Ireland and Spain, wars in Latin America, Britain's imperial travails in such places as Ireland, Somalia and Palestine, and events on the domestic 'fronts' of the belligerent nations.
Like The Colour of Time, The World Aflame is a collaboration between the gifted Brazilian artist Marina Amaral, and the leading British historian Dan Jones. Marina has created 200 stunning images, using contemporary photographs as the basis for her full-colour digital renditions. The accompanying narrative anchors each image in its context, weaving them into a vivid account of four decades of conflict that shaped the world we live in today.
A fusion of amazing pictures and well-chosen and informative words, The World Aflame offers a moving - and often terrifying - perspective on the bloodiest century in human history.

A piros bicikli
"A magyar Anne Frank naplója" (Die Welt)
Heyman Évát 1944-ben, Nagyváradon hurcolták előbb gettóba, majd Auschwitzba, ahol személyesen Mengele küldte a halálba. Tizenhárom éves volt. Titkos naplóját édesanyja találta meg, aki könyvvé formálta, és kiadta. Így lett Éva naplója a holokauszt egyik legmegrázóbb dokumentuma. Az olykor érezhető anyai beavatkozástól a napló még drámaibb, még megrázóbb lett, főként, mert tudjuk: a megjelenés után Éva édesanyja mély depresszióba esett, majd öngyilkos lett. A napló azóta megjelent angolul, héberül, néhány évvel ezelőtti, Éva lányom című, magyar kiadása után pedig németül, fanciául, spanyolul és baszk nyelven is.
?Pedig, kis naplóm, én nem akarok meghalni, én még akkor is élni akarok, ha egyedül az egész körzetből csak én maradhatnék itt. Én egy pincében, vagy egy padláson, vagy bármilyen lyukban is kivárnám a háború végét, én, kis naplóm, még a kancsi csendőrtől, aki elvitte a lisztet tőlünk, még attól is hagynám magam megcsókolni, csak ne öljenek meg, csak hagyjanak élni!?
