Un Secret
Souvent les enfants s'inventent une famille, une autre origine, d'autres parents. Le narrateur de ce livre, lui, s'est inventé un frre. Un frre aîné, plus beau, plus fort, qu'il évoque devant les copains de vacances, les étrangers, ceux qui ne vérifieront pas... Et puis un jour, il découvre la vérité, impressionnante, terrifiante presque. Et c'est alors toute une histoire familiale, lourde, complexe, qu'il lui incombe de reconstituer. Une histoire tragique qui le ramne aux temps de l'Holocauste, et des millions de disparus sur qui s'est abattue une chape de silence. Psychanalyste, Philippe Grimbert est venu au roman avec La Petite Robe de Paul. Avec ce nouveau livre, couronné en 2004 par le prix Goncourt des lycéens et en 2005 par le Grand Prix littéraire des lectrices de Elle, il démontre avec autant de rigueur que d'émotion combien les puissances du roman peuvent aller loin dans l'exploration des secrets l'uvre dans nos vies.
Kacsából és libából készült finomságok
Franciaországban a leggyakrabban elkészített házikacsa-fajták a roueni kacsa, amelynek íze nagyon közel áll a vadkacsa ízéhez, és amely gyönyörű, hosszúra szeletelhető húsával az ínyencek nagy kedvence, a nem túl zsíros, puha húsú nantes-i kacsa, valamint a vaskos, illatos húsú barbarie kacsa. A különféle libafajták közül a legismertebbek a normandiai, a poitou-i, a guineai, a bourbonnais és természetesen a toulouse-i liba, amelyet rendszeresen tömnek, hogy megfelelő minőségű libamájat kapjanak.
A kacsa elkészítésénél mindenképpen távolítsuk el a farktövénél található mirigyeket, amelyek a sütés-főzés során erős, kellemetlen ízt kölcsönöznek a húsnak. A félig sültre készített kacsamellet érdemes serpenyőben zsír nélkül egyben megsütni úgy, hogy elsőként a bőrös felét pirítjuk meg. Mivel a liba rendkívül zsíros, ha libahúst sütünk, tanácsos a keletkező szaftról többször is lekanalazni a zsírt, és a sütés során a megmaradt szafttal gyakran meglocsolni a libát, hogy a hús puha, omlós és ízletes legyen.

Russian Literature: A Very Short Introduction
This book is intended to capture the interest of anyone who has been attracted to Russian culture through the greats of Russian literature, either through the texts themselves, or encountering them in the cinema, or opera. Rather than a conventional chronology of Russian literature, the book will explore the place and importance of literature of all sorts in Russian culture. How and when did a Russian national literature come into being? What shaped its creation? How have the Russians regarded their literary language? The book uses the figure of Pushkin, 'the Russian Shakespeare' as a recurring example, as his work influenced every Russian writer who came after him, whether poets or novelists. It will look at such questions as why Russian writers are venerated, how they've been interpreted inside Russia and beyond, and the influences of such things as the folk tale tradition, orthodox religion, and the West.

Let'S Call The Whole Thing Of
Love means never having to say you're sorry. No, love is in the air. No, love is the sweetest thing. No, it's soft as an easy chair. No, it's a stranger in an open car. No, it's a many-splendoured thing. No, it's the drug. No, it's like a butterfly. Oh, let's call the whole thing off. Love stories don't always involve hearts and flowers and walks in the park. This sparkling collection of the world's greatest love quarrels, from Chekhov to Colette, from D. H. Lawrence to Jhumpa Lahiri, features love stories for every mood and occasion. Here are new lovers testing the ground, cosy couples enjoying a quiet squabble before bedtime, and exes intent on picking up where they left off. Often love quarrels start with trivial matters, such as a bride's new hat in Dorothy Parker's "Here We Are" or a choice of bedtime book in Jackie Kay's "You Go When You Can No Longer Stay". But it doesn't usually take long for the stakes to be raised. Love is a risky business!

Sunday Philosophy Club
Amateur sleuth Isabel Dalhousie is a philosopher who also uses her training to solve unusual mysteries. Isabel is Editor of the Review of Applied Ethics - which addresses such questions as 'Truth telling in sexual relationships' - and she also hosts The Sunday Philosophy Club at her house in Edinburgh. Behind the city's Georgian facades its moral compasses are spinning with greed, dishonesty and murderous intent. Instinct tells Isabel that the young man who tumbled to his death in front of her eyes at a concert in the Usher Hall didn't fall. He was pushed.The Sunday Philosophy Club marks new territory - but familiar moral ground - from the author of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. With Isabel Dalhousie Alexander Mccall Smith introduces a new and pneumatic female sleuth to tackle murder, mayhem - and the mysteries of life. As her hero WH Auden maintained, classic detective fiction stems from a desire for an uncorrupted Eden which the detective, as an agent of God, can return to us. But then Isabel, being a philosopher, has a thing or two to say about God as well.

Columbo autója
Roland a szerencse fia, még akkor is, ha egy milliós nyereséggel kecsegtető kvízjátékon elbukja a kérdést: milyen márkájú Columbo hadnagy autója?
A József Attila- és Márai Sándor-díjas Vathy Zsuzsa új könyve a budapesti Kén utcába, a Dzsumbuj közepébe kalauzolja az olvasót. Itt él szüleivel és három lánytestvérével Roland, a kivételesen tehetséges, remekül rajzoló, szavaló, zenélő cigányfiú. Vajon ki lehet-e törni a nyomorból? Van-e esély a felemelkedésre? Mire elegendők a kiváló adottságok? Mi hiányzik ebből a kedves, olykor link és vagány, de folyton álmodozó fiúból?
Vathy Zsuzsa, mielőtt a Roland-novellákat papírra vetette, hosszú ideig látogatta, figyelte, hallgatta hőseit, így tudott hiteles képet festeni arról a világról, amelyet sokan messzire elkerülnek, amelynek szereplőire többnyire legyintenek. A sokszor mulatságos, máskor keserű történetek arra intenek, az előítéletek gyakran tévútra vezetnek minket, mielőtt ítélkeznénk, ismerjük meg, hogyan élik mindennapjaikat 2011-ben a Kén utcaiak. Mit jelent ezen a lepusztult környéken a munka, a barátság, a szerelem, a család?

Folyosó a Holdra
Nekem a legjobban az felel meg, ha hülyének tartanak. Pedig nem vagyok az, csak úgy teszek. A hülyeség elrejt a gonosz tekintetek elől, így láthatatlan vagyok, mint a szar a fűben. A szar az nem tényező. A szart oldalazva kikerülik, és kész, el van intézve. Hülyének lenni kényelem és komfort, bárkinek melegen ajánlom. Egy kisember jól teszi, ha megbolondul, mikor megérti az idők szavát. Felfogja a legfinomabb rezgéseket, arany sugallatokat. Olvas a sorok közt. Akkor végre megtébolyul, kifújhatja magát. Mindenki bánt? Bolondulj meg! Mindened elvették? Bolondulj meg! Elgurult a gyógyszer? Öltsd ki a nyelved, és bolondulj meg! A hülyében egyesül az éleslátás, ami a szív fegyvere, a parttalan szabadság, ami a test fegyvere és a rajongás, ami a lélek fegyvere. Így a tébolyult talpig fegyverben kémlel kifelé élete lőrésén. Az őrület is csak játék, a félcédula. Az elmében természetes szakadék tárul fel, és a végtelen mélységből fény tör a felszínre."
Ismerős kelet-európai, csencselőkkel, kisstílű bűnözőkkel, szélhámosokkal, műkedvelő és profi prostituáltakkal, lecsúszott egzisztenciákkal, hóbortos alakokkal, lerongyolódott hippikkel és kalandvágyó kispapokkal teli, kissé végítéletszerű vásári forgatagban téblábol az elmegyógyintézetből kiszökött Csucsu, a húga, Lenácska/Maddalena, aki a testét bocsátja áruba megélhetés végett, és Lenácska fia, Kenyér, aki arról álmodozik, hogy könyörtelen gyilkos, a várost uraló bandák főnöke lesz, ha megnő.
A vásárba várják a bolgár-török-román-albán szövetséges csapatok által ellenőrzött, ám függetlenségére büszke ország elnökét, akitől fontos bejelentés várható. Baljós jelek sokasodnak, érezni, hogy valami szörnyűség készül...
Három mesterien megkomponált monológból, Csucsu, Lenácska és Kenyér nézőpontjából bontakozik ki egy a jelentől nem is oly távoli, lehetséges jövő negatív utópiája.
La Philosophie dans le Boudoir
Incarcéré une premire fois en 1768 pour affaires de murs, le marquis de Sade a passé la majeure partie de sa vie derrire les barreaux. En 1795, alors qu'il vient d'échapper de justesse la guillotine et qu'il gote sa liberté retrouvée, paraît anonymement La Philosophie dans le boudoir ou les Instituteurs immoraux, adressé tous les aimables débauchés " et toutes les " femmes lubriques ". Dans ce roman, censuré jusqu'au XXe sicle, la forme du dialogue philosophique est détournée au profit du libertinage le plus licencieux : trois débauchés entreprennent de faire l'éducation sexuelle d'une ingénue droit sortie du couvent... Mais cette uvre, écrite en pleine bascule de l'Ancien Régime l'époque moderne, a aussi une portée politique : inséré dans le cinquime dialogue, le célbre pamphlet " Français, encore un effort si vous voulez tre républicains " - qui traite tour tour de l'imposture religieuse, de la sodomie, du meurtre et de la peine de mort - a participé la construction posthume d'un Sade utopiste et révolutionnaire."

New Patio Design
The patio is an outdoor space situated within a house that can have a number of uses, although in the past it served merely as a distributor of space of for ventilating and illuminating the parts furthers away from the facade with natural light. Nowadays, architets have rethought this space and have adapted it to new uses, even in regions with a cool climate and less tradition of living outdoors. The sensation of spaciousness and good lighting acquired by a home giving on to a patio, however small, is one of the reasons why the latter has become more widespread. The patio can also serve to seperate the daytime area from the night-time one, or ensure that an outdoor space can be enjoyed free from prying eyes. So, the patio has become one more room in a house, standing out from the others through its lack of roof and its primary function as a place intended for relaxtion.

Snuff
From the master of literary mayhem and provocation, a full-frontal Triple-X novel that goes where no work of fiction has gone before. 'Six hundred dudes. One porn queen. A world record for the ages. A must-have movie for every discerning collector of things erotic.' 'Didn't one of us on purpose set out to make a snuff movie?' Cassie Wright, porn priestess, intends to cap her legendary career by breaking the world record for serial fornication. On camera. With six hundred men. Snuff unfolds from the perspectives of Mr 72, Mr 137 and Mr 600, who await their turn on camera in a very crowded green room. This wild, lethally funny and thoroughly researched novel brings the huge yet underacknowledged presence of pornography in contemporary life into the realm of literary fiction at last. Who else but Chuck Palahniuk would dare do such a thing? Who else could do it so well, so unflinchingly and with such an incendiary (you might say) climax?

International Migration: A Very Short Introduction
Why has international migration become an issue of such intense public and political concern? How closely linked are migrants with terrorist organizations? What factors lie behind the dramatic increase in the number of women migrating? This Very Short Introduction looks at the phenomenon of international human migration -- both legal and illegal -- to reveal that migration actually presents opportunities that must be taken advantage of in light of the current economic climate. The author debunks myths such as the claim that migrants take jobs away from local workers, and that they take advantage of the health care system and western living conditions without returning any benefits of their own, and reveals that society as we now know it can not function without them. Not only do migrants fill a key gap in the domestic labour market, they also have a significant impact on the economies of their home countries -- in places such as Mexico and the Philippines, the remittances they send home often exceed official development aid. Using interviews with migrants from around the world, the author presents the human side of topics such as asylum and refugees, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, development, and the international labour force. His goal throughout is to allow readers to see beyond the negative spin usually given the subject by the media and politicians, and come to their own conclusions on the international migration situation today.

The Night Gardener
Also available as a Hachette Audio.Gus Ramone is "good police," a former Internal Affairs investigator now working homicide for the city's Violent Crime branch. His new case involves the death of a local teenager named Asa whose body has been found in a local community garden. The murder unearths intense memories of a case Ramone worked as a patrol cop twenty years earlier, when he and his partner, Dan "Doc" Holiday, assisted a legendary detective named T. C. Cook. The series of murders, all involving local teenage victims, was never solved. In the years since, Holiday has left the force under a cloud of morals charges, and now finds work as a bodyguard and driver. Cook has retired, but he has never stopped agonizing about the "Night Gardener" killings. The new case draws the three men together on a grim mission to finish the work that has haunted them for years. All the love, regret, and anger that once burned between them comes rushing back, and old ghosts walk once more as the men try to lay to rest the monster who has stalked their dreams. Bigger and even more unstoppable than his previous thrillers, George Pelecanos achieves in THE NIGHT GARDENER what his brilliant career has been building toward: a novel that is a perfect union of suspense, character, and unstoppable fate.

Oxford Dictionary of Islam (Oxford Paperback Reference)
The Dictionary focuses primarily on the 19th and 20th centuries, stressing topics of most interest to Westerners. What emerges is a highly informative look at the religious, political, and social spheres of the modern Islamic world. Naturally, readers will find many entries on topics of intense current interest, such as terrorism and the Taliban, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida, the PLO and HAMAS. But the coverage goes well beyond recent headlines. There are biographical profiles, ranging from Naguib Mahfouz (the Nobel Prize winner from Egypt) to Malcolm X, including political leaders, influential thinkers, poets, scientists, and writers. Other entries cover major political movements, militant groups, and religious sects as well as terms from Islamic law, culture, and religion, key historical events, and important landmarks (such as Mecca and Medina). A series of entries looks at Islam in individual nations, such as Afghanistan, the West Bank and Gaza, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the United States, and there are discussions of Islamic views on such issues as abortion, birth control, the Internet, the Rushdie Affair, and the theory of evolution. Whether we are listening to the evening news, or reading a book on current events, references to Muslims and the Islamic world appear at every turn. The Oxford Dictionary of Islam offers a wealth of information for anyone curious about this burgeoning and increasingly important world religion.

Other Side Of You
In this hypnotic chronicle of quiet desperation, 45-year-old English psychoanalyst David McBride has an intense and personally illuminating session with a suicidal patient that unlocks his own past. His 40-something married-with-children patient, Eli
zabeth Cruikshank, is silently tormented by her past love for Thomas Carrington, whom, she slowly tells David, she lost track of before her marriage, but met again in Rome as he pursued his passion for Caravaggio. David is not in love with his wife,
Olivia, but doesn't much mind: he's emotionally crippled by guilt at the death of his brother in a street-crossing accident (he was five, his brother six). When he hears all of Elizabeth's story, however, something awakens. Vickers (Instances of the
Number 3), a psychologist by training, portrays the therapeutic process in all of its messy gloryits imperfections, conflicts and possibilitiesand she delivers wrenching conflicts of love within and outside of marriage. Caravaggio's work, in its ow
n right and as symbolic of the role of art, becomes a lovely third theme, though not as richly plumbed as those of love and therapy.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú o
