The Mystery Of The Skeleton Key
The fourth in a new series of classic detective stories from the vaults of HarperCollins involves a tragic accident during a shooting party. As the story switches between Paris and Hampshire, the possibility of it not being an accident seems to grow more likely. "The Detective Story Club", launched by Collins in 1929, was a clearing house for the best and most ingenious crime stories of the age, chosen by a select committee of experts. Now, almost 90 years later, these books are the classics of the Golden Age, republished at last with the same popular cover designs that appealed to their original readers. The Mystery of the Skeleton Key, first published in 1919, has the distinction of being the first detective novel commissioned and published by Collins, though it was Bernard Capes' only book in the genre, as he died shortly before it was published. This is how the Detective Club announced their edition ten years later: "Mr Arnold Bennett, in a recent article, criticised the ad hoc characterisation and human interest in the detective novels of to-day. "The Mystery of the Skeleton Key" contains, in addition to a clever crime problem and plenty of thrills, a sensible love story, humour, excellent characterisation and strong human interest. The scenes are laid in Paris and Hampshire. The story deals with a crime committed in the grounds of a country house and the subsequent efforts of a clever young detective the track down the perpetrator. The Selection Committee of "The Detective Story Club" have no hesitation in recommending this splendid thriller as one which will satisfy the most exacting reader of detective fiction." This new edition comes with a brand new introduction by Capes expert and anthologist, Hugh Lamb.

David Bailey: Look
One of the first celebrity photographers, David Bailey socialized with many of the cultural icons of the 60s - he lived with Mick Jagger, married the legendary French film actress Catherine Deneuve and had relationships with the models Jean Shrimpton and Penelope Tree. Along with Brian Duffy and Terence Donovan, he was one of the 'Terrible Trio' - self-taught East End boys who rebelled against the precious style of fashion portraiture as practiced by society photographers like Cecil Beaton and Norman Parkinson. His own fame was confirmed when director Michelangelo Antonioni used him as inspiration for the character of fast-living photographer Thomas Hemmings in cult film "Blow-Up" (1966).Outside the world of fashion photography, Bailey has pursued numerous personal and commercial projects, documenting the streetscapes of London, photographing the people and places of Havana, Cuba, and producing an intimate series of portraits of model Catherine Bailey, his current wife. He has also created record-sleeve art, feature films, documentaries and around 500 commercials. The vigour and variety of his work has made him the subject of numerous exhibitions, including a major traveling show that opened at the Barbican, London, in 1999 entitled "The Birth of Cool".This handsome monograph provides an overview of Bailey's career, including works from key monographs such as his debut Box of Pin-Ups (1964) and the controversial series The Lady is a Tramp (1995). The book, on a photographer whose reputation only continues to grow, will appeal to all photography enthusiasts and students, and to anyone with an interest in popular culture of the 1960s onwards.

Kacagtató
"Különleges, szórakoztató és egyúttal nagyon hasznos játékra hívom a felnőtteket és a gyerekeket. A könyvben szereplő népi hangutánzó játékok nem mondókák, nem mesék, és nem is versek. Itt nem a történeten van a hangsúly, hanem a huncutkodó játékon.
Ha bolondozni merünk a mondatokkal, szavakkal, hangokkal, hangszínekkel, a különböző hangmagasságokkal, a szótagok ritmikus ismételgetésével - nagy vidámság születik! A gyerekek csodálva és nevetve hallgatják, később pedig a maguk kedvére is mondogatják." (Gróh Ilona)

Legacy of Kings
Weaving fantasy with the shocking details of real history, New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Herman enthralls readers in the first book of the Blood of Gods and Royals series. Alexander might one day be fated to conquer the known world, but at sixteen his kingly duties aren't exactly top of mind. Preoccupied with a strange power he doesn't yet understand and the news that his fiancée is sailing across the sea to meet him for the first time, Alexander finds the newcomer in court, Katerina, is a welcome distraction. As they grow closer, Kat struggles to keep a dark secret: her mission to assassinate the queen. Kat isn't the only one close to Alexander plotting something bloody. Rumors have been circulating about forbidden rituals being performed in the night, awakening an old magic long thought dormant and with it the Sprit Eaters. Roused by their cravings for magic and blood, the Spirit Eaters will hunt those with power to the ends of the earth and slaughter any who stand in their way. With the gods turning a blind eye, and devastation stirring at the borders of his land and within his very court, Alexander will learn that sometimes cities must turn to ash for an empire to rise. Praise for Legacy of Kings: "An engrossing combination of fantasy and history--readers who love myth and magic will devour it!"
--Alex Flinn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beastly and Mirrored Fantasy just the way I like it: a mingling of history, intrigue, romance, murder, and magic."
--Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms series "A richly detailed world full of romance, magic, and intrigue."
--Amy Ewing, New York Times bestselling author of The White Rose "Herman mixes real history with magic, mystery and intrigue, putting the 'epic' in epic fantasy."

A magyarság rendeltetéséről
A kötet középpontjában a 20. század első felének szellemi folyamatait vizsgáló tanulmányok és esszék állnak. Móricz, Németh László, Illyés Gyula, Bibó István, Szabó Dezső életművének egy-egy sajátos metszetéről, területéről ír. Látszólag talán nem központi kérdésekről, valójában mindig az egészről, az életművek lényegére utalva, azok, és ezen túlmenően a magyar kultúra egészében gondolkodva. Gróh Gáspár számára nincs részkérdés: a tárgyalt szerzők világához közelítve nemcsak azok mélyebb megismerését teszi lehetővé, hanem a korszak magyar eszmetörténetét, a magyar gondolkodás belső mozgását világítja meg.
Ez teszi természetessé, hogy az életművek középpontjától távolinak tűnő témákat is tényleges súlyuknak megfelelően tárgyalja. Így elemzi Füst Milánnak a hajdani Magyarország Felvidékéhez fűződő élményeit vagy Liszt Ferencnek a magyar nemzeti, illetve népzenéhez való kapcsolatát.
A tanulmányok centrumában a nemzet a modernizáció összefüggésében jelenik meg, a magyar hagyomány továbbvitele a művészi és közéleti demokrácia dimenziójában kapja meg ma is alapvetően fontos jelentését.
Gróh Gáspár szívesen ír olyan kérdésekről, amelyek a szellemi élet nagy törésvonalai körül találhatók, és többnyire komoly viták középpontjában állnak. Ő maga azonban nem e polémiákat akarja folytatni: olyan összefoglaló álláspont kialakítására törekszik, amelyik a hitviták helyett az értelmes párbeszéd alapja lehet.

Other
Seattle, 1972: two teenage boys are standing at the start line of an 800m race. Neil Countryman is from the public high school in the north of the city: he slumps at his desk all day and gets high in the park at lunchtime, and wears a moustache that makes him look like the guy in the Camel cigarette ads. John William Barry is from Lakeside, a private academy for the more privileged of Seattle's youth: he is an earnest, fiery young man, and his family background is one of material wealth and emotional deprivation.As John William wins the race by a hair's breadth, their lives collide for the very first time, and it is the beginning of a friendship that is both fraught and intimate. Both boys have a taste for the wilderness, and they explore together the most remote areas of the mountains, the places ignored by guidebooks, where tracks and roads fade to nothing and all that can be seen is an endless unbroken density of trees. But as they grow older, John William's intense intelligence and craving for isolation mark him out as an eccentric, and as Neil begins to accumulate the more conventional comforts - a wife, a steady job - their lives begin to take radically different paths.Eventually, John William is to retreat permanently into his own self-made wilderness, and in doing so presents his oldest friend with a gift which will change his life for ever, bringing them both a notoriety that Neil had neither dreamed of nor hoped for. A moving tale about the mixed blessings that friendship can bring, The Other is an extraordinary novel from a masterful storyteller.

Kelet- és Közép-Európa régióinak portréi
"Bismarcki bölcselkedés szerint a földrajz a történelem legfontosabb alakítója. A német vaskancellár vélekedése aligha hagyható figyelmen kívül a nemzetállami határok lebontása nyomán kialakuló "régiók Európájában". A térségek között történelmileg kialakult munkamegosztás új lendületet kap, gyorsuló ütemben alakul át a gazdaság térszerkezete. Térségünk legújabb arcának bemutatása nemcsak a jelen együttműködési lehetőségeinek alapját, hanem a jövőalakítás esélyeinek támpontjait is felvillantja. Térségünk régióinak megismerése érthetőbbé, otthonosabbá teszi földrajzi környezetünket, segít a jelen és a jövő kihívásainak, fejlődési és együttműködési lehetőségeinek felismerésében. Latin mondás szerint legjobb segítőnk a tudás. E kötettel mindenki segíthet magán." (Prof. Dr. Kádár Béla - az MTA rendes tagja)
Chemickal Marriage
If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones, they need seek no further ...an epic". (Scotsman). The adventure continues in G.W. Dahlquist's The Chemickal Marriage, the follow up to the popular The Glass Book of Dream Eaters and The Dark Volume. Miss Temple, young, wealthy and far away from home, never wanted to be a heroine. Yet her fiance is dead (admittedly, by her own hand), her companions slain and her nemesis, the terrifyingly wicked Contessa Lacquer-Sforza, escaped. It falls on her tiny shoulders to destroy a deadly cabal whose alchemy threatens to enslave the world. Miss Temple plots her revenge. But Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang are alive, barely - their bodies corrupted by the poisonous blue glass. Wounded and outnumbered, Miss Temple, Dr Svenson and Cardinal Chang pursue their enemies through city slums and glittering palaces as they fight to prevent the cabal's crushing dominion and unholy marriage between man and machine. Dahlquist's rip-roaring adventure sees an assassin, an heiress and a surgeon battle against the world's most unholy evil, in their final quest. "If HBO are looking for a project to follow Game of Thrones, they need seek no further ...an epic which . ..will only grow in popularity over the years [thanks to] its virtues, hi-jinks, horror, decadence and derring-do". (Stuart Kelly, Scotsman). "Fantastic. Somewhere between Dickens, Sherlock Holmes and Rider Haggard. I was in seventh heaven". (Kate Mosse, author of Labyrinth on The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters). G. W. Dahlquist is a novelist and playwright. When he fell asleep during a snowstorm, his first book The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters came to him in a dream. This is his third novel. Originally from the Pacific Northwest, he now lives in New York.
