ROM
Meddig él velünk a kommunista diktatúra? És mit kezdjünk vele, ha már nem tudjuk elfelejteni? Így fogalmazhatók meg röviden Kukorelly Endre Rom címû könyvének alapkérdései. Pontosabb volna egyes szám elsõ személyben kérdezni, hiszen a könyv mindvégig így és innen beszél a közös történetünkrõl: már ezzel elhárítva a hamis közösségiség mítoszait és nyomasztó beszédmódjait. Ironikusan, önironikusan rákérdezni arra, amirõl ma a térség legszívesebben elfelejtkezne, illetve kínzóan ostoba önigazoló történeteket gyárt. Kukorelly kikezdi ezt a fárasztó, önigazoló retorikát, ám a könyv beszélõje nem vonja ki önmagát ebbõl a múltból, azaz nem áltatja az olvasót, hogy õ kívülálló lenne, aki már és akkor is átlátott a szitán. Nem, csak éppen megõrizte ízlését és humorát, ami talán elég ahhoz, hogy hitelesen beszélhessen az ízléstelenség és kedélytelenség világáról.

The Nicomachean Ethics
In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle's guiding question is: what is the best thing for a human being? His answer is happiness, but he means, not something we feel, but rather a specially good kind of life. Happiness is made up of activities in which we use the best human capacities, both ones that contribute to our flourishing as members of a community, and ones that allow us to engage in god-like contemplation. Contemporary ethical writings on the role and importance of the moral virtues such as courage and justice have drawn inspiration from this work, which also contains important discussions on responsibility for actions, on the nature of practical reasoning, and on friendship and its role in the best life.
This new edition retains and lightly revises David Ross's justly admired translation. It also includes a valuable introduction to this seminal work, and notes designed to elucidate Aristotle's arguments.
ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Frida Kahlo. 40th Ed.
Among the few women artists who have transcended art history, none had a meteoric rise quite like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (1907–1954). Her unmistakable face, depicted in over fifty extraordinary self-portraits, has been admired by generations; along with hundreds of photographs taken by notable artists such as Manuel and Lola Álvarez Bravo, Nickolas Muray, and Martin Munkácsi, they made Frida Kahlo an iconic image of 20th century art.
After an accident in her early youth, Frida became a painter of her own free will. Her marriage to Diego Rivera in 1929 placed her at the forefront of an artistic scene not only in the cultural Renaissance of Mexico, but also in the United States. Her work garnered praise from the poet André Breton, who added the Mexican painter to the ranks of international surrealism and exhibited her work in Paris in 1939 to the admiration of Picasso, Kandinsky, and Duchamp.
We access the intimacy of Frida’s affections and passions through a selection of drawings, pages from her personal diary, and an extensive illustrated biography featuring photos of Frida, Diego, and the Casa Azul, Frida’s home and the center of her universe.
This book allows readers to admire Frida Kahlo’s paintings like never before, including unprecedented detail shots and famous photographs. It presents pieces in private collections and reproduces works that were previously lost or have not been exhibited for more than 80 years.

Game Changer: A Gay Sports Romance
"Reid's hockey-themed Game Changers series continues on its red-hot winning streak." --Publishers Weekly, starred review for Common Goal
New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. In this case, it's not just a lucky smoothie he's craving--it's the man who made it.

Kip knew there was more to Scott's frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott's penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon, never mind touched everywhere all at once. When it happens it's red-hot, incredible and frequent, but also only on Scott's terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.
Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can't afford to do anything that might derail his career...like introducing the world to his boyfriend. Kip is ready to go all-in with Scott--but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

The Digital Republic
A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK TO READ IN 2022
The Digital Republic is the definitive guide to the great political question of our time: how can freedom and democracy survive in a world of powerful digital technologies?
Not long ago, the tech industry was widely admired and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom and democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital Republic, acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly, a failure derived from decades of muddled ideas and wishful thinking.
The Digital Republic charts a new course, with new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, and new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand.

Adrift
From deep winter to late autumn, from east to west, Adrift takes the reader on a tour of the people, politics, history and wildlife of London's canals and rivers. Blending nature writing, social observation and memoir, Helen Babbs invites you on an eye-opening journey into a different side of the city. From Walthamstow Marsh in the east to Uxbridge in the west, Helen Babbs journeys along London's waterways on a canal boat called Pike, putting down roots for two weeks at a time before moving on. Taking in the River Lea and the Lee Navigation, the Regent's Canal and the Grand Union, she explores the London landscape in all its guises: marshland, wasteland, city centre and suburb. Adrift charts a year of Helen's life on Pike, exploring the changes wreaked by the seasons as well as by developers, and recounting the practical trials of living aboard. It is a story of mapping and discovery, of escape and opting out, but also of making connections and finding home. Just as the coots and cormorants dodge the detritus of a large city, so too does Helen wend through the beauty and the dirt to reveal an intimate and unusual portrait of London and of life.

A huszonnégyes év
A kötet a memoárirodalom történetének egyik legkülönösebb és legszórakoztatóbb alkotása. Az író 1968. évi "prágai tavasz" reformkísérletének bukása után húsz éven át "normalizált" Csehszlovák Szocialista Köztársaság változatlanságba dermedt, valószerűtlen világát idézi fel meglehetősen formabontó módon s a rá mindenkor jellemző szellemességgel és eredetiséggel. Történelmi eseményeket és magánéleti mozzanatokat, kollektív és egyén emlékeket ötvöz egybe, s az Europeanához hasonlóan ezúttal is mesteri kézzel tünteti el a valóság és a képzelet közötti határvonalakat. A groteszk, abszurd, banális és humoros momentumok sokasága nem mindennapi hitelességgel és hatásossággal jeleníti meg a vaskalapos, félelmetességében is nevetséges diktatúra hétköznapjait, s hogy nevethetünk az egészen, azt nemcsak a történelem kedvező fordulatának, de Patrik Ouredníknak is köszönhetjük.

A nagy szertartás
A könyv szellemi zarándoklatra hívja olvasóit. Zarándoklatra a borhoz, amely egyszerre égi és földi jelenség, vagy ahogy Ady Endre nevezte: mámor és malaszt. A nagy kultúrákban általában az istenek itala volt, az istenit jelenítette meg a Földön egészen addig, míg az Eucharisztiában Isten vérévé, a megváltás misztikus italává nem vált.
A kötet egy eddig még nem tárgyalt, mély titkot is feltár, olyat, amiről a da Vinci-kódnak eddig fogalma sem volt.

La Mort a Venise
La Mort Venise et Tristan comptent parmi les meilleurs récits de Thomas Mann. Malgré leur briveté, ces deux chefs-d'oeuvre d'inspiration trs romantique contiennent l'essentiel de la pensée du grand écrivain allemand. On y retrouve le pessimisme foncier hérité de Schopenhauer, la clairvoyance, la perspicacité et l'extraordinaire raffinement psychologique que Thomas Mann admirait chez Nietzsche, ainsi que les quatre notions fondamentales qui, travers la littérature, ont pendant des sicles défini l'âme allemande : culture, musique, protestantisme et sens du devoir. La fascination mortelle que peut exercer la beauté physique, tel est le sujet de la Mort Venise : justement parce qu'il n'est plus jeune, et qu'il a une sensibilité d'artiste, le romancier Gustav Aschenbach sera plus qu'un autre sujet ces brusques déraillements qui conduisent la mort. Univers glacé de la montagne, gaieté factice du sanatorium, Tristan est en quelque sorte un prélude la Montagne magique. Dans ce monde qui déj échappe aux vivants s'affrontent l'artiste, voué aux rves morbides et la métaphysique, et le bourgeois, l'homme d'action la santé et aux affaires florissantes. Nouvelle brve, infiniment poignante, le Chemin du cimetiére clôt sur un point d'orgue la réédition de ces deux joyaux de la littérature allemande.
