Ronaldo/Messi
Exluzivní vydání, dvojkniha s plakátem.
"Ti dva jsou z jiné planety. Přemohli to, co bylo, a předběhli to, co bude. Mají vlastní úroveň, společný level přístupný jen jim, o spoustu pater a stupňů výš, než jsou všichni ostatní," jsou slova Ikera Casillase, mistra světa a Evropy, ikonického gólmana, který se také zabývá filozofií.
Ano, a právě Cristiano a Lionel, dva úžasní fotbalisté směřující k 700 (!) vstřeleným soutěžním gólům dnes obohacují fotbalové umění nejlepších hráčů historie, jakými byli Pelé a Maradona a také Alfredo di Stéfano a Johan Cruijjf.
CRISTIANO RONALDO
První kniha je strhujícím příběhem o obyčejném, a dokonce chudém, chlapci z portugalské Madeiry. I na ‚Zeleném ostrově' autor osobně pátrá po prvních krůčcích fotbalového génia. Právě v ulici Quinta do Falcao ve Funchalu se rodil veliký sen a Cristiano za ním odmalička neúprosně jde a probudí se z něj až ve chvíli, když později vysloví:
"Chci být nejlepší, zapsat se do historie fotbalu. Mám fantastické zaměstnání. Je požehnáním, protože můžu dělat to, co mám nejraději."
Ano, Ronaldo skutečně postupně vystoupá až na fotbalový Olymp. Základem jeho velké cesty byla péče fotbalové mámy, Márie Dolores, a pak má Cristiano jako osmnáctiletý hráč Sportingu Lisabon nevýslovné štěstí. Do Manchesteru United si ho vybere sám Sir Alex Ferguson. S velkým učitelem a druhým otcem, jak sám říká, vyhrají Ligu mistrů a tři anglické tituly. Ronaldo jako hráč Rudých ďáblů získá v roce 2008 svůj první Zlatý míč. Další čtyři obdrží už jako nejzářivější hvězda Realu Madrid, dvojnásobný mistr Španělska a pětinásobný vítěz Champions League, jejímž je historicky nejlepším střelcem (121 gólů!). V roce 2016 na EURO ve Francii se Portugalec stává rovněž mistrem Evropy právě po vítězství nad hráči galského kohouta.
"Jsem strašně šťastný. Prosil jsem Boha, aby mi dal šanci, protože jsme si ji zasloužili," vysloví muž, který přesvědčil svět, že dokáže být rovněž lídrem národním. "Prožívám jeden z nejkrásnějších okamžiků v kariéře, neuvěřitelnou chvíli pro mě a celou naši zemi."
Velká cesta jednoho z králů současného fotbalu nekončí. Cristiano se už o dva měsíce později vydává za novou výzvou jménem Juventus Turín. Jeho cíl je jasný: vyhrát s bianconeri po italském titulu - scudettu - opět Champions League. "Je to náročný úkol, ale ty mám nejraději, protože vám rozbuší srdce."
LIONEL MESSI
Pokud vyslovíme tohle jméno, zdá se, že se jedná o fotbalového boha, který sestoupil na naši planetu Zemi.
I Lionel vděčí za mnohé matce a k tomu také babičce, která ho často brávala na plácek mezi kluky. A babičce Célii, stejně tak se jmenuje matka, posílá dnes Leo vzkaz do nebe po každém svém gólu. Bezesporu nejtechničtější fotbalista současnosti a zřejmě všech dob napsal příběh jako z fantastického filmu. Balon miluje od čtyř let, v jedenácti je "Drobek" míčovým kouzelníkem. Jenže - jak nebesa nadělí Leovi talent, tak mu v předpubertálním věku ubírají na výšce. Nedostává se mu růstového hormonu, a tak i ve dvanácti třinácti letech zůstává sotva na 130 centimetrech. Je trpasličím chlapcem, navíc často nemocným. Byť se jeví geniálně, do velkého fotbalu nedoroste, děsí se trenéři. Kdo si ho vezme na triko? Nejdříve tradiční klub z Rosaria, Atlético Newell´s Old Boys, odkud naštěstí putuje do barcelonské akademie La Masia a současně podstupuje hormonální léčbu.
Jak prokazuje od svých osmnácti, kdy poprvé nastoupil za Barcelonu, výška 169 centimetrů mu postačí, aby získal podobně jako Cristiano 5 zlatých míčů, slavil s Barcelonou čtyři vítězství v Lize mistrů a 10 španělských titulů a k tomu přidal šestkrát Zlatou kopačku pro nejlepšího střelce. Leo podobně jako Cristiano vytvořil řadu nepřekonatelných rekordů.
"Lamání rekordů je výsledkem několika věcí: ve fotbale se to však stane, když vám k tomu pomůže tým. Myslím si, že se pořád učím nové věci, a určitě tady bude vždycky něco, co se dá zlepšit."
RONALDO A MESSI, oba velikáni, ale každý docela jiný. CRISTIANO jako úžasný střelec a neohrožený gladiátor a LIONEL jako skromný kluk a nejbrilantnější technik, a tak společně čtěme dva silné příběhy o fotbalových legendách.

A hermelines hölgy
A világsikerek írónője – akinek regényei angol, holland, portugál és japán nyelven is bestsellerek – ebben az új könyvében tíz kötetre való meglepetést nyújt fantáziájának gazdag tárházából. „A titok” könnyed, fölényes humorral indul, de mély tragikummal, filmszerűen pergő regénnyé válik. Hősnője, a szép Tilda, aki a kórus második sorában táncolt, most a nemzetközi társaság első sorában ragyog. Szíve azonban visszahúzza Pestre, a féltve őrzött titkához. A „Dráma a kastélyban” Magyarországon játszódik, a háború alatt, egy főnemesi család birtokán. Szerelem, gyűlölet, leküzdhetetlen vad vágy, a gyilkosságig menő bosszú… Az „Andrea” a New York-i Waldorf Astoria világában kezdődik, de a történet visszakanyarodik a hóborította balatoni fürdőtelepre, a különös száműzetésbe, ahová egy új érzés hoz lüktető izgalmat. A „Piri, a pesti rokon” remek életkép. Minden emigráns család túlesett már egy óhazai látogatón. Piri felülmúl minden elképzelést… „A hermelines hölgy”, melyről a kötet a címét nyerte, csodálatos kis novella. Judith férje, a fiatal orvos, egy eltévedt golyó áldozata lesz. Hosszú magány után bukkan fel életében George, aki nős ember. Frappáns fordulat, különös véletlen dönti el sorsukat. Még hét másik csattanós történet olvasható a kötetben – izgalom, kaland, romantika, humor. Igazi gyöngyszemek Claire Kenneth tollából.

Kokoschka babája
Oskar Kokoschka, a festő annyira bele volt bolondulva Alma Mahlerba, hogy amikor véget ért a kapcsolatuk, készíttetett egy élethű babát, amely szerelme minden egyes részletét hűen lemásolta. A bábkészítőnek írt levelébe, amelyet a babához mellékelt, és amelyet pontos leírással ellátott rajzok kísértek, még azt is belevette, hogy a bőrnek mely ráncait tartja nélkülözhetetlennek. Kokoschka, aki nem akarta véka alá rejteni a szenvedélyét, a városban sétálgatott a babával, eljárt vele az operába. Egy nap aztán elege lett belőle, a fejéhez vágott egy üveg vörösbort, és a baba a szemétbe került. És innentől kezdve sok ember sorsában töltött be létfontosságú szerepet, olyan emberek életében, akik túlélték a második világháborúban a Drezdára hullott négyezer tonna bombát.
Afonso Cruz (1971) sokoldalú figura: nem csak író, hanem kiváló grafikus és közismert zenész is egyben. Könyveit saját alkotásai díszítik, de számtalan mesekönyvet is illusztrált már, és ezen kívül még animációs filmeket is rendez. A bluesos, swinges dalokat játszó The Soaked Lamb nevű zenekarban gitározik, bendzsózik, ukulelézik, vagy ha kell, hát énekel. Írói karrierje 2008-ban indult az Istenhúsa (A Carne de Deus) című regényével. Nagyon termékeny alkotó, írásaival számos portugál díjat nyert már. Legjelentősebb nemzetközi sikere,hogy A Kokoschka babája 2012-ben elnyerte az Európai Unió irodalmi díját.

Patriots
A sweeping multigenerational novel about idealism, betrayal, and family secrets set in the U.S. and Russia, from one of Granta's Best of Young American Novelists
When the Great Depression hits, Florence Fein leaves Brooklyn College for a job in Moscow--and the promise of love and independence. But once in Russia, she quickly becomes entangled in a country she can't escape. Many years later, Florence's son, Julian, immigrates back to the United States, though his work in the oil industry takes him on frequent visits to Moscow. When he learns that Florence's KGB file has been opened, he arranges a business trip to uncover the truth about his mother, and to convince his son, Lenny--trying to make his fortune in Putin's cutthroat Russia--to return home. What Julian discovers is both chilling and heartbreaking: an untold story of a generation of Americans abandoned by their country, and the secret history of two rival nations colluding under the cover of enmity.
The Patriots is a riveting evocation of the Cold War years, told with brilliant insight and extraordinary skill. Alternating between Florence's and Julian's perspectives, it is at once a mother-son story and a tale of two countries bound in a dialectic dance; a love story and a spy story; both a grand, old-fashioned epic and a contemporary novel of ideas. Through the history of one family moving back and forth between continents over three generations, The Patriots is a poignant tale of the power of love, the rewards and risks of friendship, and the secrets parents and children keep from one another.
Praise for The Patriots
"The Patriots is a historical romance in the old style: multigenerational, multi-narrative, intercontinental, laden with back stories and historical research, moving between scrupulous detail and sweeping panoramas, the first-person voice and a kaleidoscopic third, melodrama and satire, Cleveland in 1933 and Moscow in 2008."--Nathaniel Rich, The New York Times Book Review
"Dazzling and addictive . . . an outstanding family saga."--The Spectator (U.K.)
"Extraordinary . . . The Patriots has the weight of a classic."--Commentary Magazine
"I found on every page an observation so acute, a sentence of such truth and shining detail, that it demanded re-reading for the sheer pleasure of it. The Patriots has convinced me that Krasikov belongs among the totemic young writers of her era."--Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains Echoed and The Kite Runner
"The Patriots is a masterwork, a Dr. Zhivago for our times."--Yann Martel, author of The High Mountains of Portugal and Life of Pi
"A sustained feat of brilliance."--Anthony Marra, author of The Tsar of Love and Techno
"In a galvanizing tale of flawed and courageous protagonists, erotic and political passion, and harrowing struggles for survival, Krasikov masterfully and devastatingly exposes the 'whole dark clockwork' of totalitarianism and asks what it means to be a hero, a patriot, a human being."--Booklist (starred review)
"Ambitious and compelling."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The Becoming
They waited, knowing the god threatened all worlds. He would again seek the blood of his blood, and the wheel would turn so the time would come when the Talamhish could no longer stop him. She, the bridge between worlds, must return and awaken, must become and must choose to give all, risk all to help destroy the god.
When Breen Kelly makes a leap into the unknown with a summer trip to Ireland in search of her father, little does she know she will find a portal into another world - Talamh - where she will find magic, family and a destiny beyond her wildest dreams
Breen is welcomed by most of her family and friends but there is one who is far from welcoming. Her grandfather, the outcast god Odran plots to destroy Talamh?and now all must unite to defeat his dark forces. There will be losses and sorrows, betrayal and bloodshed. But through it, Breen Siobhan Kelly will take the next step on the journey to becoming all that she was born to be.
