Atlas of the Heart
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."
In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."
Amerikai költők a második ezredfordulón – American Poets at the Turn of the Second Millenium
A fordító huszonöt amerikai költő összesen százegy versét válogatta kétnyelvű antológiába. Olyan költők verseit, akik kortársaink a második ezredforduló tájékán. Igyekezett színes képet kapni – és mutatni – a magyar irodalomkedvelőknek híres költők változatos egyéniségéről, témájuk kavalkádjáról.A versfordítás örök dilemmája: mennyire legyen szolgai, mennyire legyen szabad. Jelen kötet fordítójának célja az arany középút megtartása volt, ellenállni a parttalan átköltés csábításának. A maga valójában mutatni meg az amerikai költészet tartalmi és formai sokszínűségét. Három-négy vers egy-egy költőtől, szellemi kóstoló, néhány felvillantott gondolat, kép, hangulat – távolról sem életművek, vagy korszakos kötetek bemutatásának igényével.A fordító azzal az ambícióval hízeleg magának, hogy férfi mivoltának dacára képes hitelesen tolmácsolni a szebbik nem érzéseit is.A versek kedvelőit szólítja meg ez az összeállítás, egyben hasznos – és remélhetőleg élvezetes – kirándulásra vezetheti azokat, akik az angol nyelvvel ismerkednek, vagy foglalkoznak. „Amerikás magyarjaink” is haszonnal vehetik kézbe. Nekik és gyermekeiknek a magyar szókincset segíthet őrizni és gyarapítani.
The translator has selected, for inclusion in this anthology, a total of one hundred and one poems written by twenty five American poets at about the turn of the last century. These tr anslations are intended to convey the color and personality of each poet for Hungarian readers, while still respecting and preserving the essential style of each poet — and while also avoiding the temptation to rewrite.American poetry has so much diversity of form and content that a translator has to attempt, for each individual poet, to include representative works that express unique tastes, thoughts, images and humors, in acceptance of the fact that comprehensive treatment of each poet is not reasonably within reach in this volume.A sincere effort has been made to faithfully present the work of a number of American women, at least as well as a mere man can do.Throughout, the chosen works all reflect an overriding purpose of fur-thering a love of poetry while also serving as an effective tool for learning English. Hungarians abroad, and their families, it is hoped, will also find that this anthology will help them to increase and broaden the vocabulary of their native language.
A kötetben szereplő költők:
Wendell Berry, Michael Burch, Billy Collins, Mark Doty, Denise Duhamel, Stephen Dunn, Russel Edson, Maggie Estep, Gary R. Ferris, Louise Gluck, Jorie Graham, Erica Jong, Sharon Esther Lampert, David Lehman, Thomas Lux, Sharon Olds, Wanda Phipps, Marge Piercy, Jennifer Reeser, Charles Simic, Belinda Subraman, James Tate, Marilyn L. Taylor, Joseph Mayo Wristen, Cecilia Woloch

American Queen
Greer Galloway vagyok, és az Amerikai Egyesült Államok elnökének gyönyörét szolgálom.
Már fiatal lányként arra figyelmeztettek, hogy "Ne osztogasd a csókjaidat".
Kétszer is eleresztettem ezt az intelmet a fülem mellett, és a szívemet mind a kétszer fájdalmasan összetörték. Harmadszor már tanultam a leckéből, és örökre lemondtam a szerelemről.
De Colchester elnök nem mondott le rólam, de nem ám!
Én még annak idején Ash-ként, a katonaként ismertem meg. Törött üvegszilánkok körében csókoltam meg. Nem felejtettem el megszegett ígéreteit és tiltott vágyait. De az ország a szabad világ vezetőjeként ismeri, az egyetlenként, aki megóvhat minket a háborútól.
Ash elkeseredetten meg akar szerezni magának, ezért a legjobb barátját, Embryt küldi értem, hogy vigyen el hozzá. Nem tudja, hogy nekünk is vannak titkaink, Tragédiáink. Vágyaink. Egy második csók köt össze minket. És nemsokára múlt és jelen, gyönyör és fájdalom kelepcéjében vergődöm, két férfi között, aki egymás után ugyanúgy sóvárognak, mint utánam. És miközben egyre nagyobb nyomással nehezedik ránk a háború és az árulás, belesodródunk egy olyan szenvedélyes szerelmi viszonyba, ami megváltoztatja a világot.
A USA Today sikerszerzője átülteti korunkba Artúr király, Ginevra és Lancelot lovag történetét egy elegáns, érzéki és felejthetetlen regényben.

Throne of the Fallen
She didn't want Prince Charming. She wanted the demon.
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco, Throne of the Fallen is a seductive new standalone novel set within the Kingdom of the Wicked world.
A wicked prince. A fallen painter.
Let the games begin . . .
The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint.
But when a cryptic note arrives at his demon court, signalling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way.
Camilla is an artist with troubles of her own: a desperate mistake has landed her in debt to a notorious rake. Threatened with ruinous scandal, she is forced to enter a devil's bargain with Envy.
A bargain that reveals secrets and ignites passions that neither of them expects.
Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the underworld - from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyond - while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.
Empire of Storms
Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves increasingly at odds with those who don't. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves.
But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what - and who -she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace. Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.

"A dark jewel of a book . . . intoxicating" - Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Six of Crows
Nominated for the CILIP CARNEGIE MEDAL 2019
Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever.
And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe.
One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.
As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong.
But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan . . .
Dramatic and thrilling fantasy blends seamlessly with enthralling storytelling to create a fully realised and seductive world, brimful of magic and romance.

Billionaire CEO Dante Russo thrives on control, both personally and professionally.
He never planned to marry…until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows.
Vivian Lau, jewelry heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. The wife he never wanted, and the weakness he never saw coming.
It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. Dante will do everything in his power to destroy the blackmail and their betrothal.
There's only one problem: now that he has her, he can't bring himself to let her go.
***
Elegant. Ambitious. Well-mannered.
Vivian Lau is the perfect daughter and her family's ticket into the highest echelons of society.
Marrying a blue-blooded Russo means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her new-money parents.

Craving his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was the worst possible outcome: falling in love with her future husband.
A Court of Silver Flames
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined A Court of Thorns and Roses series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta...
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly - proud, swift to anger and slow to forgive. And since the war - since being made High Fae against her will - she's struggled to forget the horrors she endured and find a place for herself within the strange and deadly Night Court.
The person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred, winged warrior who is there at Nesta's every turn. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. And when they are forced to train in battle together, sparks become flame.
As the threat of war casts its shadow over them once again, Nesta and Cassian must fight monsters from within and without if they are to stand a chance of halting the enemies of their court. But the ultimate risk will be searching for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

Kingdom of the Cursed
One sister. Two sinful princes. Infinite deception with a side of revenge . . . Welcome to Hell.
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kerri Maniscalco comes the sizzling and sweepingly romantic sequel to Kingdom of the Wicked.
With the enigmatic Prince of Wrath at her side, Emilia sold her soul to become Queen of the Wicked and travelled to the Seven Circles to fulfil her vow of avenging her beloved sister.
But the first rule in the court of the Wicked? Trust no one. And it quickly becomes clear that nothing in Hell is what it seems. Even Wrath, her onetime ally, may be keeping secrets about his true nature. But that suits Emilia just fine - she's got secrets of her own.
Faced with backstabbing courtiers, princes who delight in fear, luxurious palaces, dazzling galas, and conflicting clues about what truly happened to her sister, Emilia finds herself on a mission to unlock the mysteries of her own past and uncover the answers she craves.
As long as her sins don't catch up to her first . . .
The Fall of Numenor
J.R.R. Tolkien's writings on the Second Age of Middle-earth, collected for the first time in one volume. J.R.R.
Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a 'dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told'. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dur and the rise of Sauron. It was not until Christopher Tolkien published The Silmarillion after his father's death that a fuller story could be told.
Although much of the book's content concerned the First Age of Middle-earth, there were at its close two key works that revealed the tumultuous events concerning the rise and fall of the island of Numenor. Raised out of the Great Sea and gifted to the Men of Middle-earth as a reward for aiding the angelic Valar and the Elves in the defeat and capture of the Dark Lord Morgoth, the kingdom became a seat of influence and wealth; but as the Numenoreans' power increased, the seed of their downfall would inevitably be sown, culminating in the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Even greater insight into the Second Age would be revealed in subsequent publications, first in Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, then expanded upon in Christopher Tolkien's magisterial twelve-volume The History of Middle-earth, in which he presented and discussed a wealth of further tales written by his father, many in draft form.
Now, adhering to the timeline of 'The Tale of Years' in the appendices to The Lord of the Rings, editor Brian Sibley has assembled into one comprehensive volume a new chronicle of the Second Age of Middle-earth, told substantially in the words of J.R.R. Tolkien from the various published texts, with new illustrations in watercolour and pencil by the doyen of Tolkien art, Alan Lee.
