The Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles 1)
The first book in a two part series from one of the greatest writers in the fantasy genre. Dragon Keeper returns fans to Hobb's best-loved world, full of dragons, magical ships and unforgettable characters. Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. One such is Thymara. Born with black claws and other aberrations, she should have been exposed at birth. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching; as does Bingtown newlywed, Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study all there is to know of dragons. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Stunted and deformed, they cannot fly; some seem witless and bestial. Soon, they become a danger and a burden to the Rain Wilders: something must be done. The dragons claim an ancestral memory of a fabled Elderling city far upriver: perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. But Kelsingra appears on no maps and they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils on the journey to a city which may not even exist...

We, The Drowned
We, the Drowned is an enthralling tale bursting with humour and drama, which chronicles the irresistible pull of the sea and the fate of those who venture forth in search of its distant horizons. The year is 1848 and Denmark is at war with Germany. A
fierce battle between the two navies culminates in the tremendous explosion of one of the Danish warships, killing most of the crew. The eccentric sailor Laurids Madsen has a miraculous escape when he is propelled up to the sky but lands safely on h
is feet. The experience changes Laurids, and after the war he returns not to his family, but to the anonymity of the high seas. At home in the Danish port of Marstal, his wife waits a year and then another but after three years, with no grave to mour
n beside she finally accepts that he has been swallowed by the sea. Years later young Albert Madsen sets off in search of his father on a voyage that will take him to the furthest reaches of the globe and into the clutches of the most nefarious compa
ny. From the barren rocks of Newfoundland to the lush plantations of Samoa, from the roughest bars in Tasmania, to the frozen coasts of northern Russia, We, the Drowned spans four generations, two world wars and a hundred years. In the great traditio
n of Melville, Conrad and Stevenson it is an epic story of adventure, courage, ruthlessness and passion. It is a magnificent story of war, of fathers and sons, of the women they leave behind, and above all, of the sea.

Hesitation
Deux futurs, deux âmes soeurs... C'était trop pour une seule personne. Je compris que ce n'était pas Edward et Jacob que j'avais essayé de réconcilier, c'étaient les deux parts de moi-m?me, la Bella d'Edward et la Bella de Jacob. Malheureusement, elles ne pouvaient coexister et j'avais eu tort de tenter de les y contraindre. A présent, je ne doute pas de ce que je désire, ni de ce dont j'ai besoin... ni de ce que je vais faire, l?, maintenant.

Elveszett kutyák, magányos szívek
Rachel, a londoni üzletasszony örökölt egy házat vidéken és hozzá egy kutyamenhelyet, pedig nem az a kimondott állatbarát, saját bevallása szerint sem. Aztán, miközben megpróbál új gazdát találni a menhely lakóinak, rájön, hogy talán a vidéki élet mégsem áll annyira távol tőle, mint gondolta.
Natalie és Johnny hosszú ideje szeretnének gyereket, de hiába, és a kudarcra lassan rámegy a házasságuk. Vajon azzal, hogy befogadják Bertie-t, a csintalan basset houndot, aki előszeretettel fosztogatja a hűtőszekrényt és dúlja fel a házat, sikerül megmenteni a kapcsolatukat?
Zoe volt férje egy labrador kölyköt ajándékoz két fiúknak, azaz Zoe-nak, akire a kutya gondozása marad. Zoe úgy érzi, ez már sok, ereje végén jár. Ám ekkor megismerkedik Billel, a jóképű orvossal, aki számára az ideális társ talán mégsem az, akit elképzelt magának.
Ahogy az új kutyatulajdonosok útja keresztezi egymást, és sorsuk összefonódik, mindannyian sokat tanulnak a hűségről, az újrakezdésről és a feltétel nélküli szeretetről.

25 Impressionism
Luscious dabs of color and light. This title deals with art history's most delightful movement. Impressionism continues to be one of the most fascinating movements in the history of modern art. It is also the most popular with the general public. Proof of this has been provided in recent years by blockbuster exhibitions of the works of Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Monet, and by record sums realized from the sale of Impressionist paintings. Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications - the majority of them about the most famous names - many areas of Impressionism are still under-researched. Many "second rank" Impressionists have remained unknown or have sunk into oblivion. This monograph fills the gap, as it explores French Impressionism alongside related art movements that flourished simultaneously in the rest of Europe and North America. Part 1 deals with Impressionism in France, including Post- and Neo-Impressionism. As well as discussing the most renowned artists, its aim is to introduce others who are still little-known today. Among them are the long underrated Gustave Caillebotte, represented by 17 paintings, and artists such as Frederic Bazille, Marie Bracquemond, Henri-Edmond Cross, Jean-Louis Forain, Eva Gonzales, Armand Guillaumin, Albert Lebourg, Stanislas Lepine, Maximilien Luce, Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, Jean-Francois Raffaelli, Henri Rouart, and Victor Vignon. The eight chapters of part 2 focus on paintings inspired by French Impressionism and produced in parallel in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, the USA and Canada. Rarely did painters in these countries slavishly copy the ideas emerging from France. Instead, most non-French artists found astonishingly original ways of translating them into the artistc language of their native lands.

Isaac Bashevis Singer : Collected Stories Vol. 3 (LOA 151)
In the wake of his receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978, Isaac Bashevis Singer published several volumes of short stories in collections that mingled recent work with previously untranslated stories written in Yiddish decades earlier. Stretching back to "The Jew from Babylon," a story first published in 1932, and gathering tales such as "Brother Beetle" and "There are No Coincidences" from the 1960s, the works collected in this Library of America volume, the third of three, serve as a retrospective view of Singer's achievement as a storyteller. Collected Stories: One Night in Brazil to The Death of Methuselah also contains ten stories published in English translation for the first time, selected from the extensive collection of Singer's papers at the University of Texas. Ranging from "Between Shadows," an evocative, naturalistic sketch set in Warsaw, to the bittersweet melodrama "Morris and Timma," to the beguiling fable "Hershele and Hanele, or The Power of a Dream." These stories enrich our understanding of Singer as a writer. The volume also includes "The Bird," "My Adventures as an Idealist," "and "Exes," stories published in magazines that were not included in any of Singer's collections. Complementing the seventy-eight stories gathered here is the introduction to Gifts (1985), a version of a lecture Singer had delivered since the early 1960s--sometimes called "Why I Write as I Do"--which illuminates his biography, philosophical outlook, and literary aims. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Demian
Wie alle Hauptwerke Hermann Hesses hat auch der Demian, den der damals 40jährige Autor mitten im Ersten Weltkrieg schrieb, eine ebenso ungewöhnliche wie spannende Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte. Daß dieses im Herbst 1917 vollendete Buch erst im Juni 1919, ein halbes Jahr nach Kriegsende, veröffentlicht wurde, lag an der Unbekanntheit des Verfassers. Denn Hesse hatte das Manuskript dem Verlag als das Erstlingswerk eines kranken jungen Dichters empfohlen, des zeitkritischen Poeten Emil Sinclair, der bisher nur in Zeitungen und Zeitschriften durch pazifistische Mahnrufe und Erzählungen aufgefallen war (die gleichfalls von Hesse stammten). Doch trotz des Inkognitos erlebte das Buch eine geradezu stürmische Aufnahme und wurde noch im Erscheinungsjahr mit dem Fontane-Preis für das beste Erstlingswerk eines Nachwuchsautors ausgezeichnet. Thomas Mann verglich die elektrisierende Wirkung des Buches mit der von Goethes Werther, da es »mit unheimlicher Genauigkeit den Nerv der Zeit traf und

Cet absent-la
Cet absent-l est celui qui hante l'uvre de Camille Laurens depuis toujours sous les traits de Philippe, l'enfant dramatiquement perdu, de tout tre aimé qui échappe un jour ou l'autre, voire de l'amour mme... Par le biais d'une écriture directe et élégante, alliant simplicité et fluidité du style, Camille Laurens raconte l'absence qui hante la vie de chacun en narrant la sienne. Malgré ces deuils poignants, l'écriture de Camille Laurens reste d'une sensualité lumineuse, confiante en ce labyrinthe inattendu qu'est l'existence. De nouvelles rencontres animent la vie de la narratrice. D'un amour l'autre, peu peu, le regard s'attache d'autres traits, désire encore, aime ce désir... et la vie continue, comme l'amour... Un roman poignant et ardent, que les photographies de Rémi Vinet ponctuent d'une esthétique sobre et généreuse.

The Book of You
Give The Book of You one minute of your time each day and achieve a happier, healthier, more fulfilled life. Change can be hard and rarely happens overnight. The aim of this book is to empower you to make change happen. The Book of You contains 365 micro-actions, one for each day of the year, grouped under four areas - Food, Mind, Move and Love, for example: Love: Smile at a Stranger: Has someone ever suddenly smiled at you on a busy street? Remember the feeling after the initial surprise? Today when you are out and about, smile at a stranger. Mind: Set a Go-To-Sleep Alarm: We use alarm clocks to get us up in the morning, but for many the challenge is actually the night before - hitting the sack early enough. Tonight, decide on a bedtime and set an alarm for when it's time to go to sleep. Food: Go Nuts: Pay homage to the wonderful world of nuts. They're deliciously diverse in flavour, packed with protein, essential good fats and minerals, and will give you an energy boost. Try just a small handful today as a snack, or added to a meal - pecans on porridge, pine nuts over pasta or crushed walnuts over a salad. Move: Activate Your Abs: While you are for example making breakfast or on the bus, pull your belly button in. This activates your deep abdominal muscles that are usually asleep, which is amazing for your lower back to provide support. The action host contributors to The Book of You include chef Jamie Oliver, productivity expert and author of Small Move, Big Change Caroline Arnold, fitness trainer Jamie Sawyer, neuroscientists Dr Tara Swart and Dr Darya Rose, and fitness guru Dani Stevens. Life is not about how many steps you walk, how many calories you eat or your place on the leaderboard. Life is about feelings, moments, shared experiences; enjoying every victory, celebrating balance and showing vulnerability. Complete just one micro-action each day - eat more fruit, take the stairs, do a random act of kindness - and it will help you live a happier, more fulfilled life.

March Violets
Hailed by Salman Rushdie as a “brilliantly innovative thriller-writer,” Philip Kerr is the creator of taut, gripping, noir-tinged mysteries that are nothing short of spellbinding. The first book of the Berlin Noir trilogy, March Violets introduces readers to Bernie Gunther, an ex-policeman who thought he’d seen everything on the streets of 1930s Berlin—until he turned freelance and each case he tackled sucked him further into the grisly excesses of Nazi subculture. Hard-hitting, fast-paced, and richly detailed, March Violets is noir writing at its blackest and best.
