Bosch
The Museo del Prado houses the largest known collection of works by Jheronimus Bosch. Among its holdings are The Adoration of the Magi and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptychs, as well as the original of The Haywain, making it the 'home of Bosch' and the perfect institution to hold a major exhibition marking the quincentenary of the artist's death. This magnificent, richly illustrated book reproduces these masterpieces and other recently cleaned and restored paintings, and reveals hitherto unknown facets of Bosch's art. A distinguished team of Bosch scholars contribute to the volume. Pilar Silva Maroto's essay presents an updated biography of Bosch and his family, and includes all the surviving documents dating from his lifetime. It also locates the artist in the context of his home town, 's-Hertogenbosch, and offers an in-depth appreciation of his status as a painter and draughtsman. Eric De Bruyn considers Bosch's sources in texts and images; Paul Vandenbroeck, his values and ideology; and Larry Silver, the sins and their punishment, a fundamental theme in the artist's work.Finally, there is a 'conversation' between Reindert Falkenburg and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptych, and a reflection by Fernando Checa on the reception of Bosch at the Habsburg court in Flanders and in Spain in the 16th century. The catalogue entries for the paintings belonging to the Prado collection discuss the findings of recent technical research carried out specifically for the exhibition, which has shed new light on these works.

Outsider
Frederick Forsyth has seen it all. And lived to tell the tale. 'We all make mistakes, but starting the Third World War would have been a rather large one. To this day, I still maintain it was not entirely my fault. But I'm getting ahead of myself. During the course of my life, I've barely escaped the wrath of an arms dealer in Hamburg, been strafed by a MiG during the Nigerian civil war, and landed during a bloody coup in Guinea-Bissau. The Stasi arrested me, the Israelis regaled me, the IRA prompted a quick move from Ireland to England, and a certain attractive Czech secret police agent - well, her actions were a bit more intimate. And that's just for starters. All of that I saw from the inside. But all that time I was, nonetheless, an outsider.' Trained first as a pilot, then as a journalist, Frederick Forsyth finally turned to fiction and became one of the most lauded thriller writers of our time. As exciting as his novels, Forsyth's autobiography is a candid look at an extraordinary life lived to the full, a life whose unique experiences have provided rich inspiration for thirteen internationally bestselling thrillers.

Skin and Other Stories (R/I)
This is a collection of eleven short stories to startle, surprise and satisfy from Roald Dahl - the master of the twist in the tale. How would you get rid of a murder weapon without causing suspicion? Where would you hide a diamond where no one else would think of looking? What if you found out the tattoo on your back was worth over a million pounds? Specially chosen for teenagers by Wendy Cooling, the stories have been taken from The Collected Short Stories of Roald Dahl, published by Michael Joseph. Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916. He was educated in England before going to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. With the outbreak of World War II, he became an RAF fighter pilot. He began writing for adults at the close of the war, with the encouragement of C. S. Forester. His first children's book, James and the Giant Peach, was published in 1961 and each of his subsequent books became bestsellers. He is still the best-selling children's writer of all time.

A Girl Called Shameless
WINNING author of the inaugural Comedy Women in Print prize 2019.
'A brilliant social satire . . . disarmingly charming and relatable . . . it was hilarious. Laura Steven is an explosive talent on the page!' CWIP judges Marian Keyes, Kathy Lette, Katy Brand, Allison Pearson, Shazia Mirza and Jennifer Young on The Exact Opposite of Okay
Funnier. Ruder. Angrier. Izzy O'Neill is back in the hilarious sequel to The Exact Opposite of Okay.
It's been two months since a leaked explicit photo got Izzy involved in a political sex scandal - and the aftershock is far from over.

This time she wants to change the state law on revenge porn.
Izzy and her best friend Ajita are as hilarious as ever, using comedy to fight back against whatever the world throws at them, but Izzy is still reeling from her slut-shaming ordeal, feeling angry beyond belief and wondering - can they really make a change?
For readers of The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Doing It by Hannah Witton, Love Simon and Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli, and Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls by Elena Favilli and Francesca Cavallo.

The Astronaut Wives Club
As American astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from shy military spouses to American royalty: having tea with Jackie Kennedy, attending high society galas, and being featured on the cover of Life magazine. They quickly grew into fashion icons, donning sherbet-swirled Pucci dresses and lacquering their hair into extravagant rocket styles (to match their husbands' spaceships). Annie Glenn was the envy of the other wives, with her many magazine features; platinum-blonde bombshell Rene Carpenter was proclaimed JFK's favourite; homely Betty Grissom worried her husband was having affairs; Louise Shepard just wanted to be left alone to her card games; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived on base with a dirty secret. Together they rallied to form the Astronaut Wives Club, which has now turned into over 40 years of enduring friendship. Sexy and sophisticated, rich in melodrama, and set against the uniquely atmospheric backdrop of the Space Age, THE ASTRONAUTS' WIVES CLUB tells the real story behind some of the biggest heroes in American history, chronicling their romantic, domestic, and public dramas during the Mad Men era.

Although air travel was still reserved for the happy few, Derujinsky convinced his editors Carmel Snow and Diana Vreeland to send him around the world to photograph beautiful models?like Carmen Dell?Orefice and his future wife, Ruth Neumann?draped in expensive gowns juxtaposed against rough desert dunes or a glittering ocean at sunset. His ideas were revolutionary and they gave rise to the mystique and glamour that is now pervasive in fashion.Derujinsky was the quintessential Renaissance man?photographer, award-winning cinematographer and commercial director, inventor, WWII veteran, world traveler, jewelry designer, musician, ski instructor, Ferrari America race-car driver, and champion glider pilot.

Alig két évtizede állatok milliói bábozódtak be világszerte, hogy aztán félig emberré alakulva bújjanak elő. Az emberiségnek hozzá kellett szoknia, hogy többé nem a Homo sapiens az egyetlen értelmes faj, és hogy a teremtés újabb hullámai megállíthatatlanok. A fajzatok élethez való joga azóta is heves viták tárgya, és amikor Magyarországon népszavazásra kerül a kérdés, hogy az itt élő, gettókba zárt és bérmunkásként dolgoztatott fajzatokat törvényileg embereknek tekintsék-e, a fal mindkét oldalán kiélesedik a helyzet.
August, a Nemzetközi Fajzatügyi Szervezet kampánymenedzsere minden eszközt megragad, hogy a közvéleményt a fajzatok oldalára állítsa, de hamarosan ő kerül kínos vizsgálódások kereszttüzébe. Pilar, a világtól elzártan, televízió előtt felnőtt borz minden állatnak segítene, ám barátait és feladatát is rosszul választja meg. Kirill, az őzfajzat blogger a fajzatok történeteit írja meg, hogy hangot adjon az elnyomottaknak, a gettó mélyén pedig mindent elsöprő sztorira bukkan.
Moskát Anita, a Horgonyhely szerzője harmadik regényében brutálisan eredeti és kíméletlen világot tár elénk, amelyben szervesen összeolvad az állat és az ember. Ez a történet garantáltan sokáig velünk marad: bekúszik a bőrünk – vagy irhánk – alá.

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet - Wayfarers 1
SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEY'S WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION
'A quietly profound, humane tour de force' Guardian
The beloved debut novel that will restore your faith in humanity
#SmallAngryPlanet
When Rosemary Harper joins the crew of the Wayfarer, she isn't expecting much. The ship, which has seen better days, offers her everything she could possibly want: a small, quiet spot to call home for a while, adventure in far-off corners of the galaxy, and distance from her troubled past.
But Rosemary gets more than she bargained for with the Wayfarer. The crew is a mishmash of species and personalities, from Sissix, the friendly reptillian pilot, to Kizzy and Jenks, the constantly sparring engineers who keep the ship running. Life on board is chaotic, but more or less peaceful - exactly what Rosemary wants.
Until the crew are offered the job of a lifetime: the chance to build a hyperspace tunnel to a distant planet. They'll earn enough money to live comfortably for years... if they survive the long trip through war-torn interstellar space without endangering any of the fragile alliances that keep the galaxy peaceful.
But Rosemary isn't the only person on board with secrets to hide, and the crew will soon discover that space may be vast, but spaceships are very small indeed.

Unholy Night
It's one of the most iconic vignettes in history: three men on camels, arriving at a manger, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. An impossibly bright star is suspended in the vast desert sky above. It's a moment of serenity and grace. A holy night...But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity? The Bible says little about this enigmatic trio. Not even their names are mentioned. The historical record is vague at best. How do we know that they were three kings from the East? What if they were petty, murderous thieves - led by a mercurial individual called Balthazar - on the run, escaping through Judea under cover of night who stumble upon the famous manger, its newborn child and his earthly parents? Here, the brilliant and slightly warped mind behind "Pride and Prejudice" and "Zombies" takes a little mystery, plays fast and loose with a bit of history to weave an epic tale. It's an adventure that will see these thieves fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament, cross paths with historical figures such as Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist, and deliver the family - as the Bible tells us - to the safety of Egypt. Indeed, this may just be the greatest story never told...

Noir
Jobb ma egy nő, mint holnap két egyforma
San Francisco, 1947 nyara. Nem mindennap esik meg, hogy egy olyan titokzatos, szőke hölgyemény, mint Stilton - igen, a sajtról kapta a nevét - besétál abba a lekoszlott kocsmába, ahol "Kétbütykös" Sammy Tiffin csapolja a piát. Szerelem ez első pohárra, de mielőtt Sammy rárepülhetne, megjelenik egy tábornok, akinek bizonyos lányok kellenek bizonytalan célokra.
Közben gyanús tárgyat észlelnek a Csendes-óceán partján, majd egy titokzatos valami lezuhan az Új-Mexikói sivatagban, egy Roswell nevű helyen. Csakhogy legalább ennyire bizarr dolgok történnek San Franciscóban is, és amikor Sammy egyik üzleti terve becsődöl, a kiszemelt barátnő pedig gyanús körülmények között eltűnik, a férfi elég sok furcsasággal kénytelen szembenézni, hogy megtalálja a nőt.
Christopher Moore új könyve a második világháború utáni San Franciscóban játszódik, kötekedő kocsmatöltelékek, ódivatú ópiumbarlangok és rasszista rendőrök között. A regény Raymond Chandler világát idézi, csak éppen a szereplőgárda inkább hasonlít Tapsi Hapsira és társaira. Nagyon noir, nagyon Moore.
