Finding Eden
The second book in the Acadia Duology, a forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation ARCHER’S VOICE.
When the world as you know it has ended, when all that you love has been washed away, where do you find strength?
Calder and Eden are free from the stifling grasp of Acadia, but the new world they’ve stepped into is just as isolating. Each convinced the other died in the flood that decimated their community, they’re forced into modern life, hearts broken, futures unclear. After all they sacrificed to be together, a life without one another, forever haunted by grief and memories, seems impossible to bear.
But they do bear it. They survive. And when they meet by chance years later, happiness, for once, finally seems within their grasp.
Still, the past is a bright, burning pain between them, and Calder and Eden cannot truly move on until they lay it to rest. With Acadia’s story forced into the public eye and dangerous questions mounting, the two must untangle the truths of the life they came from to discover who they are and who they might become together.
Only, what they discover might drown them for good.

It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism
A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like.
It’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.
Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.
It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.
Before the Big Bang
A revolutionary new account of our universe’s creation—and a breathtaking exploration of the landscape from which we sprang—from one of the world’s most celebrated cosmologists
What came before the Big Bang, and what exists outside of the universe it created? Until recently, scientists could only guess at what lay past the edge of space-time. However, as pioneering theoretical physicist Laura Mersini-Houghton explains, new scientific tools are now giving us the ability to peer beyond the limits of our universe and to test our theories about what is there. And what we are finding is upending everything we thought we knew about the cosmos and our place in it.
Mersini-Houghton is no stranger to boundaries—or to pushing through them. As a child growing up in Communist Albania, she discovered a universe beyond her walled-off world through the study of math and science, and through music. As a female cosmologist in a male-dominated field, she transcended the limits that society and her profession tried to place on her. And as a trailblazing researcher, she helped to revolutionize the study of our universe by revealing that, far from living in a cosmic Albania, with a world that ends at its borders, we are part of a larger family of universes—a multiverse—that holds wonders we are only beginning to unlock. Mersini-Houghton’s groundbreaking research suggests that we sit in a quantum landscape whose peaks and valleys hide a multitude of other universes, and even hold the secret to the origins of existence itself. Recent evidence has revealed the signatures of such sibling universes in our own night sky, confirming Mersini-Houghton’s theoretical work and offering humbling evidence that our universe is just one member of an unending cosmic family.
The incredible scientific saga of one woman’s mind-expanding journey through the multiverse, Before the Big Bang will reshape our understanding of humanity’s place in the unfathomable vastness of the cosmos.

Burning Questions
From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays — funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient — which seek answers to Burning Questions such as:
Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?
How can we live on our planet?
What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?
In Burning Questions Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.

The Russian Revolution
An illustrated account of one of the most pivotal events in modern history - the Russian revolution of 1917. In the early years of the twentieth century, Imperial Russia was an ethnically diverse empire, stretching from Ukraine and Belarus in the west to the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk in the Far East.
At the head of this profoundly dysfunctional polity was Tsar Nicholas II, whose Romanov successors had ruled Russia since the start of the seventeenth century with a lethal mixture of domestic cruelty, expansionist energy and reactionary incompetence - interspersed with occasional reformist spasms.By early 1917, Russia was unreformable, and the tsar's authority irreparably damaged. In March of that year, Nicholas II abdicated and the tsarist system was overthrown.
The provisional government installed in its stead to organise democratic elections lasted just eight chaotic months before being ousted by Lenin's Bolsheviks in the October Revolution.Writing with crisp immediacy, Sebestyen narrates an unprecedented era of political and social convulsion. The Russian Revolutions changed the course of history, and, more than a century later, their backwash continues to be deeply felt across the world.

Kathe Kollwitz
An extraordinary gathering of rare drawings, prints and sculptures focusing on themes of motherhood, grief and resistance
In the early 20th century, when many artists were experimenting with abstraction by way of colorful painting, Käthe Kollwitz remained committed to an art of social purpose through figurative, black-and-white printmaking and drawing. Through her work, she brought visibility to the hardships of the working class and asserted the female point of view as a necessary and powerful agent for change.
Published in conjunction with the largest exhibition of her work in the United States in more than 30 years, and the first major retrospective devoted to Kollwitz at a New York museum, this book surveys the artist’s career from the 1890s through the early 1940s. It features approximately 120 drawings, prints and sculptures drawn from public and private collections in Europe and North America. Examples of the artist’s most iconic projects showcase her political engagement, while rarely seen studies and working proofs highlight her intensive, ever-searching creative process. Essays explore crucial aspects of Kollwitz’s art, career and legacy, including her professional life and connections in Berlin, her groundbreaking approach to the subject of women’s grief and her work’s reception among artists in the US.
Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945) was born in the Prussian city of Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia). One of history’s most outstanding graphic artists, she was widely recognized for her art of social advocacy and compassion and was one of the few women artists of the early 20th century to achieve international renown in her own lifetime.

A bazilika hercegnője
1625. Az új pápa választását ünnepli Róma, amikor egy gyönyörű angol hercegnő érkezik az örök városba, akinek az édesanyja olasz származású. A bíborosok és kurtizánok városában hamar felfedezi a pökhendi gazdagok és a nyomorult szegények, a rend és a káosz, a szigorú erkölcsiség és a szabadosság zavarba ejtő ellentéteit. Róma elbűvöli Clarissát, akit az olaszok principessának szólítanak. Clarissát nemcsak Róma nyűgözi le, hanem a barokk kor két világra szóló művésze is: az egyik Lorenzo Bernini, a zseniális szobrász-építész, a pápák és a nők kedvence, a nagyvilági férfi, a másik Francesco Borromini, a mogorva, magának való, tüskés modorú lángelme, az építészet megújítója, a tökéletesség megszállottja. A két férfi az új Rómát akarja felépíteni, s szembeszökően ellentétes természetük ellenére is arra kényszerülnek, hogy összefogjanak a nagy cél érdekében. Hiába kettejük egymásrautaltsága a művészetben, Clarissa iránt érzett szerelmük halálos ellenséggé teszi őket. A principessa élete azonban nem a férfiak miatt kerül veszélybe, hanem nagynénje, donna Olimpia, a pápa sógornője és szeretője miatt. Ez a gyilkos indulatok rabjává, a féltékenység megszállottjává lett asszony a háttérből les leendő áldozataira, köztük Clarissára, s csak a megfelelő pillanatra vár a pestistől bűzlő városban, hogy héjaként csapjon le unokahúgára...

Az utolsó farkas
Az egykori filozófusnak egy berlini kocsma magyar pultosa a hallgatósága. A csapos hallgat, a törzsvendég beszél, többször is szóba hozván, hogy "a nyelv... már nem alkalmas rá, hogy rögzíthetetlen tartalmaknak formául szolgáljon, nem szolgál többé, mert körbeért, bejárt minden elképzelhető tartományt, és elért oda, ahonnan indult, de végtelenül romlott alakban ért oda vissza", ám ez nem akadályozza meg abban, hogy káprázatos részletekből összeálló óriásmonológjában ne mesélje el újra és újra, kicsit mindig másképp és mégis ugyanúgy, hogy miért utazott el a spanyolországi Extremadura tartományába, és miért kezdte kutatni az utolsó farkas történetét, s miként döbbent rá arra, hogy nem érvényes az egyes szám, mert csak utolsó farkasok és történetek vannak.
Krasznahorkai László katartikus elbeszélésének egyetlen mondata páratlan művészi érzékenységgel mutat rá a civilizáció és a környezet katasztrofális összefüggéseire, a természet fenségére és a gondolkodás tragikumára; az eredetileg 2009-ben írt, egyszerre ironikus és melankolikus szöveg így lesz napjainkban még aktuálisabb és még fontosabb.
