The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
The Beatles - Get Back
Az eredeti angol kiadással egy időben magyarul is olvasható lesz az új Beatles-filmhez kapcsolódó exkluzív könyv!
1969 januárjában a Beatles azzal a nagyszabású tervvel vágott neki az új esztendőnek, hogy egy különleges show keretében filmre veszik, ahogy dalokat írnak és próbálnak, majd előadják őket közönség előtt. A később Get Back néven ismertté vált projekt kétszeresen is visszatérést jelentett, hiszen az együttes ekkor már két és fél éve nem koncertezett, a kísérletező korszakukat követően pedig vissza akartak kanyarodni az eredeti rockos gyökerekhez. Egy hónapon keresztül kamerák és mikrofonok rögzítették minden szavukat, ám hogy végül mi valósult meg az elképzelésekből, azt meséli el az akkor rögzített dialógusok alapján ez a fotókkal gazdagon illusztrált kötet, amely szorosan kapcsolódik a Peter Jackson rendezte, azonos című új Beatles-filmhez.
1st and 2nd Book of Maccabees (EN)
The setting of 1st and 2nd Maccabees is about a century and a half after the conquest of Judea by the Greeks under Alexander the Great.

Originally included in the King James Bible, 1st and 2nd Maccabees is a thrilling historical account of the guerrilla warfare in which, with God's help, the Maccabean brothers, Judas, Jonathan and Simon were empowered to win extraordinary victories against vastly superior armies and restore an independent Jewish kingdom and religion.
