Traitors Gate
24 hours to stop the crime of the century
The race against time is about to begin…
THE TOWER OF LONDON…
Impenetrable. Well protected. Secure. Home to the most valuable jewels on earth. But once a year, the Metropolitan Police must execute the most secret operation in their armoury when they transport the Crown Jewels across London.
SCOTLAND YARD…
For four years, Chief Superindendent William Warwick – together with his second-in-command Inspector Ross Hogan – has been in charge of the operation. And for four years it’s run like clockwork.
THE HEIST…
But this year, everything is about to change. Because master criminal Miles Faulkner has set his heart on pulling off the most outrageous theft in history – and with a man on the inside, the odds are in his favour.
Unless Warwick and Hogan can stop him before it’s too late…
Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions
Ten years of luminous photographic portraits of Hollywood celebrities who attended the most exclusive and glamorous after-party of the year
For the past decade, photographer Mark Seliger has set up an elaborate pop-up studio inside the annual Vanity Fair after-party on Oscar Night, producing exquisite portraits of Hollywood's A-list personalities in the immediate afterglow of cinema's biggest event of the year. Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions gathers the best of these portraits in one volume and includes a foreword by Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones, as well as an afterword by actor Alan Cumming, who sheds light on what it's like to be in front of Seliger's lens on the night of nights.
With more than 200 portraits, featuring names such as Lady Gaga, Robert DeNiro, Donald Glover, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi, Spike Lee, Regina King, and Timothée Chalamet, this over-the-top collection will be the talk of both the publishing and film worlds.
The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly
One of the most remarkable memoirs ever written.
The diary of Jean-Dominique Bauby who, with his left eyelid (the only surviving muscle after a massive stroke) dictated a remarkable book about his experiences locked inside his body. A masterpiece and a bestseller in France.
In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French Elle and the father of two young children, suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless. But his mind remained as active and alert as it had ever been.
Using his only functioning muscle - his left eyelid - he was determined to tell his remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter.
The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly records Bauby's lonely existence but also the ability to invent a life for oneself in the most appalling of circumstances. It one of the most extraordinary books about the triumph of the human spirit ever written.
Cerith Wyn Evans
A definitive and timely monograph celebrating the work of ground-breaking conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans
Cerith Wyn Evans is one of today's most respected and acclaimed sculptors. Born in Wales and educated through his first language of Welsgh, his work reflects his fascination with literature, film, music, and philosophy. Evans is an artist interested in language and how this can be perceived in spatial terms.
Originally an experimental filmmaker, in the 1990s Evans started creating sculptures and installations defined by poetic conceptualism and elegant aesthetic forms. Often made of neon light, his pieces subtly disrupt existing systems of communication, either through the subversion and alteration of given spatial forms or by adopting a communal rather than a singular, authoritarian voice.
In 2003 Evans represented Wales at the country’s inaugural pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale. This book, the first comprehensive study dedicated to his work, includes contributions by luminaries such as the former Guggenheim Chief, Nancy Spector and the 2011 Venice Biennale director, Daniel Birnbaum, together with a previously unpublished text by Evans himself.

War and Punishment
From heroic dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar, a journey into the myths and fantasies that led Russia to violence in Ukraine
'History is made up of myths,' writes the renowned Russian dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar. 'Alas, our myths led us to the fascism of 2022. It is time to expose them.' Drawing from his perilous career investigating the frontiers of the Russian empire, Zygar reveals how 350 years of propaganda, bad historical scholarship, folk tales and fantasy spurred his nation into war with Ukraine.
How did a German monk's fear of the Ottoman Empire drive him to invent the fiction of a united Russian world? How did corny spy novels about a 'Soviet James Bond' inspire Vladimir Putin to join the KGB? How did Alexander Pushkin's admiration for a poem by Lord Byron end with him slandering the legendary chief of the Cossacks? And how did Putin underestimate a rising TV comic named Volodymyr Zelensky, failing to see that his satire had become deadly serious, and that his country would be a joke no longer?
A noted expert on the Kremlin with unparalleled access to hundreds of players in the current conflict - from politicians to oligarchs, gangsters to comedians (not least Zelensky himself) - Zygar chronicles the power struggles from which today's politics grew, and digs out the essential truths from behind layers of seductive legend. By surveying the strange, complex record of Russo-Ukrainian relations, War and Punishment reveals exactly how the largest nation on Earth lost its senses. A work of history can't undo the past or transform the present, but sometimes it can shape the future.
In fact, that's how the story begins.
Raising Hell, Living Well
Part cultural criticism, part rueful confessional, a reformed brand strategist brings to light the impact of influence on us and our society and offers an escape in this ironically persuasive case for not being so easily influenced anymore.
We live in a world that is under the influence.
Our lives are being choreographed by forces that want something from us. Everything from ingrained family values to mind-altering algorithms create our foundations, warp how we see the world, manipulate our decisions, and dictate our beliefs. Yet rarely do we question these everyday influences of our modern times even as we go further down the path of unwell, unhappy, and unhinged.
A high-spirited exploration through the troublesome influences of our world, Raising Hell, Living Well, Jessica Elefante’s eye-opening debut, follows one bullshit artist’s journey, from small-time salesperson to award-winning corporate strategist to founder of the digital wellbeing movement Folk Rebellion, in coming to terms with how she was wielding influence—and the forces she was under herself.
With whip-smart writing and wry humor, Elefante’s collection of essays is a head-trip through her misadventures. From explaining productivity as a symptom of the influence of capitalism to how the wellness industry makes us feel more unwell or our unquestioning participation in oversharing, optimization, and instant gratification, she invites us to reexamine our world, our pasts, and ourselves through the lens of influence. Now a reformed brand strategist, Elefante lays bare her own culpability, sharing what she learned—and what she got wrong. She offers a new take on intentional living and provides a simple practice to deconstruct how the powers-that-be are attempting to modify our behaviors. Before you know it, you’ll be questioning everything from how you take your coffee to how our social institutions are structured. And you’ll learn how to live free from the influences around us—including Elefante herself.
The much-needed subversive voice to demystify these times, Elefante will make you angry, make you laugh, and make you think about how you’re really living. Unpretentious, sharply observed, and devil-hearted, Raising Hell, Living Well holds out a hand to help you climb out from under the influence.

Csoda az Andokban
"Az Életben maradtak története a túlélő szemszögéből" 1972 tavasza. Nando Parrado három napig fekszik öntudatlanul, majd arra eszmél, hogy a rögbicsapatát Chilébe szállító repülőgép valahol az Andok kellős közepén lezuhant, s a balesetben több csapattársa és az édesanyja is szörnyethalt. Egy élettelen gleccseren rekedve szüntelenül az apjára gondol, és szilárdan eltökéli: nem fogja tétlenül várni a halált. Hófödte hegycsúcsokon, alattomos hegyoldalakon átkelve hetven kilométert tesz meg a fagyos pusztaságban, hogy segítséget hozzon társainak. Több mint harminc évvel a tragédia után az azóta nemzeti hőssé lett Parrado megindító őszinteséggel és mély érzelmekkel idézi fel megpróbáltatása történetét. Személyes hangú beszámolója megrendítő erővel közvetíti a halálközeliség élményét s a nyomában feltörő életigenlést: az egymásért való küzdés, az összetartás erejét.

Lagerfeld produced over 10,000 pieces of clothing across his extraordinary 65 years as a powerhouse fashion designer, from his time at Chloé and Fendi in the 1960s and 1970s to his celebrated leadership in the 1980s and beyond at Chanel and with his own label. His voracious curiosity and boundless imagination yielded beautiful, evocative garments, more than 200 of which are showcased here. These are accompanied by personal reflections from Lagerfeld’s premieres d’ateliers—the seamstresses behind his extraordinary creations—as well as by Anna Wintour, Patrick Hourcade, Amanda Harlech, and Tadao Ando. A lavish work of art in its own right, this book is also an essential resource on Lagerfeld and how his designs transformed the entire fashion industry.

Dielo III. (Neskorý autoportrét, Čítanie z, ...)
Rúfusova poézia zbierok Neskorý autoportrét (1992), Čítanie z údelu (1996), Vážka (1998) a rozsahom najmenšej zbierky Malá nočná hudba (1998), ktorú tvorí iba dvanásť básní, je motivicky rôznorodá; výnimkou sú básne domova" v prvom cykle Vážky. V kn
ihách je významnýrozmer životnej úvahy, ktorý bol výrazne prítomný užv autorovej zbierke Prísny chlieb (1987). V básnikovejtvorbe sa k slovu dostávajú aj veci celkom osobné. V popredí sú motívy ľudského rodu, domova, jesene ľudského života, smrti
a poézie. Jednotlivé motívy nadobúdajúúvahové dimenzie, máme tu do činenia s básňou ako reflexiou, myslením. Starnutie básnik chápe ako zostupovanie k podstate a takto chápe aj poéziu písanú v neskoršom veku. Autorova tvorba vždy mierila k podstate,
alev novom období toto zostupovanie nadobúda novú vyhranenosť i nové významy. Medzi veršami o situácii starnúceho lyrického subjektu čítame takéto neľútostné verše; Čakanka ešte, akože inak, čaká, / Tak ako v čase detstva. Ibaže / sama už nevie, n
a čo" (Také dni, Neskorýautoportrét). Zostupovanie k podstate ako vystupňované nemilosrdné obnažovanie pravdy sa však v Rúfusovejpoézii deväťdesiatych rokov nepremieta iba v reflektovaní životnej jesene, ale - a to ešte vo väčšej miere - v reflekto
vaní človeka a sveta a domova. Najmä z tohto dôvodu básnikova poézia, hoci má rozličné polohy, zvyčajne nie je rozradostňujúcim čítaním. V bilančných charakteristikách pred nami Rúfus vystupuje ako básnik ľudského trápenia, bolesti.
