The Hero's Way
Bestselling author of Italian Ways Tim Parks follows the hair-raising journey of Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, 250-miles on foot from Rome to Ravenna, to explore Italy's past and present.
In the summer of 1849, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Italy's legendary revolutionary hero, was finally forced to abandon his defence of Rome. He and his men had held the besieged city for three long months, but now it was clear that only surrender would prevent slaughter and destruction at the hands of a much superior French army.
Against all odds, Garibaldi was determined to turn defeat into moral victory. On the evening of 2 July, riding alongside his pregnant wife Anita, he led 4,000 hastily assembled volunteers out of the city to continue the struggle for national independence in the countryside. Hounded by both French and Austrian armies, the garibaldini marched hundreds of miles through Umbria and Tuscany, then across the Appenines, Italy's mountainous spine, until, after thirty-two exhausting days of skirmishes and adventures, 250 survivors boarded fishing boats on the Adriatic coast in an ill-fated attempt to reach the independent Republic of Venice.
It would be ten years and much world-wandering before Garibaldi would astonish the world when his revolutionary campaign in Sicily became the catalyst to the unification of Italy. This is the lesser-known story, brought vividly to life by bestselling author Tim Parks, who in the blazing summer of 2019, together with his partner Eleonora, followed Garibaldi and Anita's arduous journey. The Hero's Way is a fascinating portrait of Italy past and present, and a celebration of determination, creativity, desperate courage and profound belief.

Fox and I
Catherine Raven has lived alone since the age of 15. After finishing her PhD in biology, she built herself a tiny cottage on an isolated plot of land in Montana, in a place as far away from other people as possible. She viewed the house as a way station, a temporary rest stop where she could gather her nerves and fill out applications for what she hoped would be a real job that would help her fit into society.
Then one day she realises she has company: a mangy-looking fox who starts showing up at her house every afternoon at 4.15pm. She has never had a visitor before. How do you even talk to a fox? She brings out her camping chair, sits as close to him as she dares, and begins reading to him from The Little Prince. Her scientific training has taught her not to anthropomorphise animals, yet as she grows to know him, his personality reveals itself and the two form a powerful bond - shaken only when natural disaster threatens to destroy their woodland refuge.
Fox and I is a story of survival and transformation, a captivating tale of a friendship between two species in a shared habitat, battling against the uncontainable forces of nature on one side and humanity on the other - immersive, original and utterly unforgettable.

Luster
Edie is just trying to survive. She's messing up in her dead-end admin job in her all-white office, is sleeping with all the wrong men, and has failed at the only thing that meant anything to her, painting. No one seems to care that she doesn't really know what she's doing with her life beyond looking for her next hook-up. And then she meets Eric, a white middle-aged archivist with a suburban family, including a wife who has sort-of-agreed to an open marriage and an adopted black daughter who doesn't have a single person in her life who can show her how to do her hair. As if navigating the constantly shifting landscape of sexual and racial politics as a young black woman wasn't already hard enough, with nowhere else left to go, Edie finds herself falling head-first into Eric's home and family.
Razor-sharp, provocatively page-turning and surprisingly tender, Luster by Raven Leilani is a painfully funny debut about what it means to be young now.

Lacná kniha Drága barátaim, kedves majmok (-70%)
Csányi Vilmos ismét tudományos alapossággal, mégis végtelenül szórakoztatóan, humorral, személyes történetekkel fűszerezve járja körül az ember viselkedését, motivációit, kevéssé ismert tulajdonságait.
Hogy krízis idején hogyan reagálunk, milyen válaszaink vannak például a világjárványra, miként viseljük a hónapokig tartó bezártságot, próbáljuk elviselni a személyes találkozások hiányát - viselkedésmódjainkat alapvetően meghatározza, hogyan éltek valaha őseink.
Korábban egy domináns személy vezette, néhány száz főből álló csoportban éltünk, amelynek tagjaival folyamatosan együttműködtünk. A legfontosabb célkitűzésünk egykor az volt, hogy magát a csoportot életben tartsuk. Nem úgy a másik csoport tagjait, akikkel konfliktusban álltunk. Ma már nem léteznek ezek a csoportok, megatársadalmakban élünk, egyszemélyes csoportként - és ez erős hatással van a mindennapjainkra.
Korábbi, vándorló, gyűjtögető-vadászó életmódunk idején azt tanultuk, hogy döntéseinket gyorsan, csak a közvetlen következményeket figyelembe véve hozzuk meg. Inkább választottuk azt a megoldást, amely közeli jóval kecsegtetett és ködös, távoli rosszal, mint a közeli, pici rosszat és távoli, megfoghatatlan, de hatalmas jót. Ezért nehéz rávenni ma az embereket arra, hogy gondoljanak a klímaváltozásra, ne irtsák ki az esőerdőket, korlátozzák a szén-dioxid-kibocsátásukat, és egyáltalán: foglalkozzanak a távoli jövővel.
