BEL AMI a szépfiú
Georges Duroy leszerelt őrmester mindössze néhány frankkal a zsebében érkezik Párizsba. Egykori bajtársa szerez számára állást egy helyi lapnál. Ifjú hősünknek nincs különösebb tapasztalata a tollforgatás terén, ezért eleinte barátjának felesége, Madeleine segít rajta. Ám nem ő az egyetlen nő, akinek a rendkívül ambíciózus és nem kevésbé vonzó Georges igénybe veszi a segítségét. A férfi hamar felismeri ugyanis, hogy az érvényesülés legegyszerűbb útja Párizsban a női szalonokon - esetenként hálószobákon - keresztül vezet. Ezzel egy nem mindennapi karriertörténet veszi kezdetét, melyet a szerző csípős iróniával és érzéki megjelenítő erővel mutat be. Sokan úgy tartják, ez Maupassant legteljesebb regénye, melyben leginkább megmutatkozik páratlan társadalom- és lélekábrázoló képessége, éles szatírája. A regényt többször is megfilmesítették már világszerte. A legújabb filmváltozat az Alkonyat-sagával ismertté vált Robert Pattinson főszereplésével készült, és egyes jeleneteit Budapesten forgatták.

Les jours de la femme Louise : Et autres nouvelles
Elles s'appellent Louise, Anna, Blanche ou Clara. Elles sont ouvrires, femme au foyer, mre seule avec un enfant, bonne chez Madame. Elles sont confrontées la vie, l'amour, l'ennui, la frustration, la violence des hommes, leur indifférence ou leur condescendance. Toutes ont en commun des rves trop grands pour elles, des peurs d'enfant, des désirs qui n'osent s'exprimer. Alors elles avancent vaille que vaille, tombent et se relvent, touchantes de fragilité, admirables de courage opiniâtre, fortes de leur douceur mme, belles de tout cet espoir lumineux en elles que rien ne parvient éteindre. Ce qui bouleverse, dans l'écriture de Madeleine Bourdouxhe, c'est son style simple et franc, en empathie troublante avec les personnages, son réalisme poétique qui ne craint pas l'engagement social ou féministe mais privilégie l'émotion, la justesse psychologique.

A Thousand Ships
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2020
One of the Guardian's and TLS's 'Best Books of 2019'
In A Thousand Ships, broadcaster and classicist Natalie Haynes retells the story of the Trojan War from an all-female perspective, for fans of Madeline Miller and Pat Barker.
This was never the story of one woman, or two. It was the story of them all . . .
In the middle of the night, a woman wakes to find her beloved city engulfed in flames. Ten seemingly endless years of conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans are over. Troy has fallen.
From the Trojan women whose fates now lie in the hands of the Greeks, to the Amazon princess who fought Achilles on their behalf, to Penelope awaiting the return of Odysseus, to the three goddesses whose feud started it all, these are the stories of the women embroiled in the legendary war.
Powerfully told from an all-female perspective, in A Thousand Ships Natalie Haynes puts the women, girls and goddesses at the centre of the story.
'With her trademark passion, wit, and fierce feminism, Natalie Haynes gives much-needed voice to the silenced women of the Trojan War' - Madeline Miller, author of Circe
'A gripping feminist masterpiece' Deborah Frances-White, The Guilty Feminist
Szeress, ha tudsz
Ethan MacCarrick lélegzetelállítóan jóképű fiatalember volt, míg egy befolyásos nemes ember parancsára brutálisan össze nem verték. Az arcát örökre elcsúfították egy olyan bűn miatt, amit el sem követett. Ethan könyörtelenül bosszút állt. Tönkretette és száműzetésbe kényszerítette elcsúfítóját. Az elégtétel azonban nem töltötte el megnyugvással. Tíz évvel később egy talpraesett, titokzatos szépség bűvölte el a férfit. A gyönyörű hölgy nem más, mint egykori ellenségének a lánya. Eljött végre az igazi bosszú pillanata. Ethan pontosan erre vágyott...
Kettőjük között olyan forró érzelem lángol fel, amihez képest semmit sem jelent Ethan bosszúvágya. A férfi egyszer csak azon kapja magát, hogy képtelen lemondani erről a gyönyörű lányról. Madeleine azonban megtudja a múltjuk sötét titkait. Sikerülhet vajon Ethannak rábírni álmai asszonyát arra, hogy elfogadja az ajánlatát? Hiszen tíz évvel korábban éppen ő pusztított el mindent, ami csak fontos volt Maddy számára.

Kimono Style
The untold modern history of the Japanese kimono and its dynamic relationship to Western culture
Japan's engagement with Western clothing, culture, and art in the mid-nineteenth century transformed the traditional kimono and began a cross-cultural sartorial dialogue that continues to this day. This publication explores the kimono's fascinating modern history and its notable influence on Western fashion. Initially signaling the wearer's social position, marital status, age, and wealth, older kimono designs gave way to the demands of modernized and
democratized twentieth-century lifestyles as well as the preferences of the emancipated "new woman." Conversely, inspiration from the kimono's silhouette liberated Western designers such as Paul Poiret and Madeline Vionnet from traditional European tailoring. Juxtaposing never-before-published Japanese textiles from the John C. Weber Collection with Western couture, this book places the kimono on the stage of global fashion history.

Psyche and Eros
A stunning, exciting and hotly-anticipated feminist retelling of one of the greatest love stories in Greek mythology!
The greatest love story ever told…
Born into an era of heroes, a prophecy claims that Psyche – Princess of Mycenae – will defeat a monster feared even by the gods themselves. Rebelling against society’s traditions, she spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing to fulfil her destiny.
But she is soon caught up in powers beyond her control, when the jealous Aphrodite sends the God of Desire, Eros, to deliver a fatal love-curse. The last thing Eros wants is to become involved in the chaos of the mortal world, but when he is pricked by the very arrow intended for Psyche, he is doomed to love a woman who will be torn from him the moment their eyes meet.
Thrown together by fate, headstrong Psyche and world-weary Eros will face challenges greater than they could have ever imagined. And as the Trojan War begins and the whole of the heavens try to keep them apart, will they find their way back to each other… before it’s too late?
Luna McNamara’s exquisitely written debut will appeal to fans of Madeline Miller, Jennifer Saint and Susan Stokes-Chapman.

Fatherhood
'It will make you cry... for the beauty of love and its miraculous power to heal.' John Grogan, author of Marley & Me
Matt and Liz Logelin had it all: a perfect marriage, a gorgeous new home in LA, and a baby girl on the way. Just twenty-seven hours after they welcomed a healthy Madeline into the world, Liz suffered a pulmonary embolism and died instantly, without ever holding the daughter whose arrival she had so eagerly awaited.
Though confronted with devastating grief and the responsibilities of being a new and single father, Matt did not give in. He chose to keep moving forward - to make a life for Maddy. In his memoir, Matt shares bittersweet and often humorous anecdotes of his courtship and marriage to Liz, of relying on his newborn daughter for the support that she unknowingly provided, and of the extraordinary online community of strangers who have become his friends. In honouring Liz's legacy, heartache has become solace.

Green Day - Saviors (Black & Pink) LP
Green Day je americká rocková skupina založená v East Bay v Kalifornii v roku 1987 hlavným spevákom a gitaristom Billie Joe Armstrongom spolu s basgitaristom a sprievodným spevákom Mikeom Dirntom. Väčšinu kariéry kapely tvorili silové trio[4] s bubeníkom Tré Coolom, ktorý nahradil Johna Kiffmeyera v roku 1990 pred nahrávaním druhého štúdiového albumu skupiny Kerplunk (1991). Predtým, ako sa Green Day v roku 1989 premenoval na svoj súčasný názov, volal sa Blood Rage, potom Sweet Children. Boli súčasťou punkovej scény z konca 80. a začiatku 90. rokov v Bay Area, ktorá vznikla z klubu 924 Gilman Street v Berkeley v Kalifornii. Prvé vydania kapely boli s nezávislým vydavateľstvom Lookout! Záznamy. V roku 1994 sa ich debut Dookie, vydaný pod značkou Reprise Records, stal prelomovým úspechom a nakoniec sa v USA predalo viac ako 10 miliónov kópií. Spolu s ostatnými kalifornskými punkovými skupinami Bad Religion, the Offspring, Rancid, NOFX, Pennywise a Social Distortion, Green Day sa pripisuje popularizácii mainstreamového záujmu o punk rock v USA.
Počnúc skladbou „The American Dream Is Killing Me“, inauguračným singlom a úvodnou skladbou ich najnovšieho vydania „Saviors“, Green Day v týchto turbulentných časoch odvážne vydávajú naliehavú výzvu k akcii. Je pozoruhodné, že „Saviors“ predstavuje 14. štúdiový album v plodnej kariére Green Day. Napriek tomu toto trvalé trio zostáva neochvejne oddané svojmu rebelantskému umeniu. Ich neoblomná oddanosť neustále rúca hranice ich žánru, čo vyvrcholilo uvedením týchto troch punkerov z East Bay do prestížnej Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. A napriek tomu, že Green Day strávili spolu ako kapela viac ako tri desaťročia, zostávajú pevne zakorenení tu a teraz. Album bol nahraný v Londýne aj Los Angeles pod odvážnym uchom a rockovou zdatnosťou dlhoročného priateľa a spolupracovníka Green Day, producenta Roba Cavalla, oceneného cenou GRAMMY®.

'Mosse is a master storyteller' Madeline Miller, author of Circe
'Magnificent, epic' Marian Keyes
Sweeping from Paris and Chartres to the City of Tears itself - the great refugee city of Amsterdam - this is a story of one family's fight to stay together and survive against the devastating tides of history . . .
May 1572: for ten violent years the Wars of Religion have raged across France. Neighbours have become enemies, countless lives have been lost, and the country has been torn apart over matters of religion, citizenship and sovereignty. But now a precarious peace is in the balance and a royal wedding has been negotiated. It is a marriage that could see France reunited at last.
An invitation has arrived for Minou Joubert and her family to attend this historic wedding in Paris in August. But what Minou does not know is that the Joubert family's oldest enemy, Vidal, will also be there. Nor that, within days of the marriage, on the eve of the Feast Day of St Bartholomew, her family will be scattered to the four winds and one of her beloved children will have disappeared without trace . . .
Az angyal hív
New York. Kennedy repülőtér. A zsúfolt csarnokban egymásnak ütközik egy férfi és egy nő. Némi vita után mindketten folytatják útjukat. Madeline és Jonathan korábban soha nem találkozott, és soha nem kellett volna viszontlátniuk egymást. De a holmijukat összeszedve véletlenül elcserélik a mobiljaikat. Mire észreveszik a tévedésüket, már 10 ezer kilométer választja el őket egymástól: a nőnek virágboltja van Párizsban, a férfi egy San Franciscó-i éttermet vezet. Kíváncsiságuknak engedve mindketten átnézik a másik telefonjának tartalmát. Kettős indiszkréció és egy nagy felfedezés: életüket összeköti egy titok, amelyről azt hitték, sikerült örökre eltemetniük.
Inanna
An enthralling and lyrical fantasy debut, and the first in an incredible new trilogy re-telling The Epic of Gilgamesh, perfect for readers of Madeline Miller’s Circe and Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne.
A tale brimming with warring gods, rebellious humans, and the goddess of love caught between them whose destiny has the power to transform the shape of the world.
Stories are sly things…they can be hard to catch and kill.
Inanna is an impossibility. The first full Anunnaki born on Earth in Ancient Mesopotamia. Crowned the goddess of love by the twelve immortal Anunnaki who are worshipped across Sumer, she is destined for greatness.
But Inanna is born into a time of war. The Anunnaki have split into warring factions, threatening to tear the world apart. Forced into a marriage to negotiate a peace, she soon realises she has been placed in terrible danger.
Gilgamesh, a mortal human son of the Anunnaki, and notorious womaniser, finds himself captured and imprisoned. His captor, King Akka, seeks to distance himself and his people from the gods. Arrogant and selfish, Gilgamesh is given one final chance to prove himself.
Ninshubar, a powerful warrior woman, is cast out of her tribe after an act of kindness. Hunted by her own people, she escapes across the country, searching for acceptance and a new place in the world.
As their journeys push them closer together, and their fates intertwine, they come to realise that together, they may have the power to change to face of the world forever.
The first novel in the stunning Sumerians Trilogy, this is a gorgeous, epic retelling of one of the oldest surviving works of literature.

Ludwig Bemelmans
While almost everybody knows Ludwig Bemelmans' Madeline, the fact that the illustrator published over forty other titles remains a well-kept secret. The first title in Thames & Hudson's brand-new series, this book offers a visually rich insight into the life and work of this important artist and writer. Ludwig Bemelmans grew up under the Austro-Hungarian empire and emigrated to the United States in his late teens, just escaping the outbreak of the First World War.
His illustrations for the Madeline books offer a classic vision of Paris that has created a lasting impression on millions of readers. And every illustrator would love to know how he conveyed all the emotions of a spirited little girl drawn with just a few lines and dots; how did he achieve such clarity in simplicity? Laurie Britton Newell's illustrated essay gathers material from Bemelmans' diverse oeuvre, from novels, autobiographical stories, humorous articles and comic strips to murals and menus for hotels and restaurants. The book makes accessible this mesmerizing material, which is otherwise lost to the public, and connects it to the artist's intriguing life.
An icon of a fascinating era, Bemelmans through his magical work gives us glimpses of a life that embodied both hard work and glamour, in Paris and New York.

The Children of Jocasta
From Natalie Haynes, the Women's Prize shortlisted author of A Thousand Ships, comes The Children of Jocasta, a retelling of Oedipus and Antigone from the perspectives of the women the myths overlooked.
My siblings and I have grown up in a cursed house, children of cursed parents . . .
Jocasta is just fifteen when she is told that she must marry the King of Thebes, an old man she has never met. Her life has never been her own, and nor will it be, unless she outlives her strange, absent husband.
Ismene is the same age when she is attacked in the palace she calls home. Since the day of her parents' tragic deaths a decade earlier, she has always longed to feel safe with the family she still has. But with a single act of violence, all that is about to change.
With the turn of these two events, a tragedy is set in motion. But not as you know it.
'Haynes balances a fresh take on the material . . . giving new voice to the often-overlooked but fascinating Jocasta and Ismene.' - Madeline Miller, author of Circe.
Five Tuesdays in Winter
Writers & Lovers established Lily King as one of our most beloved authors of contemporary fiction. Now, for the first time ever, King collects ten of her finest short stories, opening fresh realms of discovery for avid and new readers alike.
Told in the intimate voices of unique and endearing characters of all ages, these tales explore desire and heartache, loss and discovery, moments of jolting violence and the inexorable tug toward love at all costs. A bookseller's unspoken love for his employee rises to the surface, a neglected teenage boy finds much-needed nurturing from an unlikely pair of college students hired to housesit, a girl's loss of innocence at the hands of her employer's son becomes a catalyst for strength and confidence, and a proud nonagenarian rages helplessly in his granddaughter's hospital room. Romantic, hopeful, brutally raw, and unsparingly honest, some even slipping into the surreal, these stories are, above all, about King's enduring subject of love.
Lily King's literary mastery, her spare and stunning prose, and her gift for creating lasting and treasured characters is on full display in this curated selection of short fiction. Five Tuesdays in Winter showcases an exhilarating new form for this extraordinarily gifted author writing at the height of her career.

Tripla koktél
Filmszerűen peregnek a képek a három barátnő életéből. Maggie, Candice és Roxanne ugyanannál a magazinnál dolgoznak. Havonta egy alkalommal kedvenc koktélbárjukban pletykálgatva szürcsölgetik italaikat. Mindhárman szépek, sikeresek és beérkezettek... Vagy mégsem?
Roxanne elbűvölő és magabiztos. Remek a humora és szókimondó. Fennen hangoztatja függetlenségét, de titkos szeretője van, és abban reménykedik, hogy a férfi egy nap elhagyja érte a nejét... Maggie tehetséges, sosem engedi ki az irányítást a kezéből, hisz ő az "Év szerkesztője". Férjével kisbabát várnak, de fogalma sincs arról, mit jelent ez valójában. Céltudatossága szertefoszlik, önmaga számára is meglepő erők kezdenek működni benne... Candice őszinte és tisztességes, a legfiatalabb közülük. Sokáig nem osztja meg a többiekkel szégyellt titkát. De egy nap árnyék tűnik fel a múltból, ami nemcsak az ő életét, de a lányok barátságát is veszélyezteti...
Roxanne, Maggie és Candice története akármelyik mai nőé lehetne. Uralhatatlan, fájdalmas szenvedély, lerázhatatlan, sötét szülői örökség, a görcsös megfelelni vágyás mindennapos lelki küzdelmei nem idegenek a modern nő számára. Élvezetes, olykor torokszorító regény egy nőtől, a nőkről, nőknek...
Madeleine Wickham az olvasók számára Sophie Kinsellaként a Boltkóros sorozat írójaként ismert. Eredeti nevén eltérő hangulatú hangulatú, talán kevésbé humoros, de ugyanannyira érdekes,izgalmas és emberi történetet tár az olvasó elé.
