With more than 500 colour illustrations, lively text, including a short history of cookery books, and an elegant design, A Book for Cooks is a culinary delight for all foodies.
War Correspodents
When Robert Capa snapped the photo of the dying militiaman during the Spanish Civil War it seemed the ideal goal of every journalist on the frontline: to tell the story of death in battle. But this work actually began nearly a century before with photos shot by Fenton in the Crimea and Brady during the American Civil War. A book illustrated with over 600 images tells the history of war reporting from it’s origins to the bombing of Libya in 2011. Unique images of American reporters in WWI and WWII, the German soldier photographers from Pk, the Italians from the Luce Archive and the French journalists. The reportage in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Africa, and the protagonists of what eventually became a real journalistic specialization with its stories, its tragedies and its fallen. A book about the war seen from a new and unexpected point of view, a series of historical photographic scoops, and a selection of rare images on the conflicts of the last one hundred and fifty years selected by the staff of Scalarchives and narrated by its director, the journalist and former reporter Claudio Razeto.

Kisvilágok
Egy kávéház, egy elfelejtett lagúna, egy templom, egy városi park, Torino, Trieszt és Friuli környéke: csupa közeli, félig-meddig ismerős táj, melyek a csekély távolság és az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia öröksége miatt akár otthonosak is lehetnének a magyar olvasónak, mégis talán több titkot rejtenek, mint turistaútjaink untig ismert célpontjai. Claudio Magris pedig a régészek aprólékos figyelmével és a tősgyökeres helyi lakosok mindentudásával vezet körbe rajtuk, hol elkalandozva, hol a vesékbe látva, szabadon keverve a történelem, a fikció, a kultúrtörténet és az anekdota műfaját, egész kis mikrokozmoszokat tárva fel előttünk lebilincselő esszéregénye lapjain.
Claudio Magris 1939-ben született Triesztben. A számtalan magas rangú díjjal kitüntetett olasz írót a világ leginkább a "Duna" című nagyívű esszéregény szerzőjeként ismeri. Írásaiban lebilincselően ötvözi a kultúrtörténet, a fikció, az emlékezés és a nosztalgia elemeit, különös figyelmet szentelve szűkebb hazája, az Adriai-tenger környéke és Közép-Európa szellemi földrajzának.

Hangok
Egy férfi, aki menekül a kiábrándító valóság elől, mégsem tud ellenállni a női testek delejes vonzásának és egy nő, aki bár szenvedélyesen szeret, mégis eltaszítja magától a férfit, aki számára a legkedvesebb. Az egyik üzenetrögzítők élettelen hangfelvételeivel flörtöl - a másik hiába beszél valakinek, aki talán élet és halál ura. Két hang, két ízig-vérig mai történet, melyek közül az egyik mégis mintha Don Giovanni regiszteráriájának kifordítása lenne, a másik pedig Orfeusz történetének modern változata: a világhírű író, Claudio Magris drámai erejű monológjai, melyek most először olvashatóak magyar nyelven.

Roth Unbound
Philip Roth - one of the most renowned writers of his generation - hardly needs introduction. From his debut, Goodbye, Columbus, which won the National Book Award, to his Pulitzer Prize-winning American Pastoral, to his eternally inventive later works such as Exit Ghost and Nemesis, Roth has produced some of the greatest literature of the past hundred years. And yet there has been no major critical work about him, until now. Here, at last, is the story of Roth's creative life. Claudia Roth Pierpont tells an engaging story even as she delves into the many complexities of Roth's work and the controversies it has raised. This is not a biography - though it contains many biographical details - but something more rewarding: an attempt to understand a great writer through his art. Pierpont, who has known Roth for several years, peppers her gracefully written and carefully researched account with conversational details, providing insights and anecdotes previously accessible only to a very few, touching on Roth's family, his inspirations, his critics, the full range of his fiction, and his literary friendships with such figures as Saul Bellow and John Updike. Roth Unbound is a major achievement, a fascinating and highly readable work that will set the standard for Roth scholarship for years to come.

Obsessed with Sherlock Holmes and dreaming of a better life, she stumbles across a clue which lures her and her musician friend, Louis Armstrong, to the case - and into terrible danger.

Az álomnő
Lebilincselő kalandok, romantika, meghökkentő fordulatok - Liptai Claudia őszintesége és merészsége, pezsdítő életöröme, pikáns humora első kalandregényének minden oldalát átitatja. Egyszerűen letehetetlen!
Anna, a fiatal és ambiciózus újságírólány Afrikába utazik, hogy egy divatmagazin számára riportot készítsen a gyönyörű, félig magyar szépségkirálynőről. Elszántan vág bele a kalandba, arra azonban nincs felkészülve, hogy ebben az ismeretlen világban nemcsak a sminkje és a bőröndjei kerülnek majd veszélybe, hanem az életét is kockára teszi. Ekkor váratlanul felbukkan a színen egy jóképű, ám legalább annyira nagyképű és idegesítő idegen, aki nemcsak a lelkét kavarja fel, de a vágyait is felkorbácsolja, bármennyire tiltakozik ellene
Anna hirtelen egy szövevényes bűnügy kellős közepén találja magát, és nincs más választása, mint hogy a férfi oldalán beutazza a fekete kontinenst. Olyan rejtély nyomába erednek, amely örökre megváltoztathatja mindkettőjük életét.
Liptai Claudia nem csak a képernyőn professzionális, most kiderül, hogy valóban mindent tud a szórakoztatásról. Sőt, azt is megmutatja, hogy az igazi álomnőt nem feltétlenül a világ végén kell keresni.

Egy másik tenger
"ami súly, az mindenképp süllyed és zuhan"
Claudio Magrist, a tudós trieszti germanistát a Duna tette a szó tágabb, köznapibb értelmében is világhírűvé. A Duna ugyanis nemcsak tudós, hanem népszerű könyv is volt, "egy folyó regénye".
Az "Egy másik tenger" ugyancsak tényekből építkezik. Hőse, Enrico Mreule, létező személy; annak a goriziai Carlo Michelstaedternek a barátja volt, aki a századelő olasz-osztrák-szláv peremvidék-kultúrájának bizarr képviselőjeként huszonhárom éves korában öngyilkos lett. Michelstaedter kurta életműve fennmaradt, a holtig hűséges barát neve azonban legfeljebb ha lábjegyzetként.
Carlo "a Nyugat Buddhája". Öngyilkossága a fő tézist: a vágy, a valamivé levés, a jövővárásnak álcázott "halál felé menetelés" tagadását tette szemléletessé. Enrico más utat választ. Ő az életével óhajtja demonstrálni - ugyanazt. Klasszika-filológia tanárként és marhahajcsárként, a mitikus Mediterráneum és a Csendes-óceán, az egyik és a másik tenger partján, vad, embertelen szabadságban, boldog, mogorva boldogtalanságban. Háttal a világnak, arccal a tengernek.
A változatos helyszíneken, történelmi viharok közepette játszódó igaz történet Claudio Magris sajátos olvasatában végül is afféle szellemi-lelki kalandregénnyé - igazi, immár idézőjelek nélküli regénnyé lesz.

Kartell
The Italian company Kartell is famous aroud the world for having invented the culture of plastic furniture and interior fittings. Kartell was founded in 1949 byGiulio Castelli, a chemical engineer with a vision to create something good from plastics, a material whose applications were still relatively unexplored. A fruitful collaboration with the great designer Gino Colombini started, who won the firm its first Compasso d’Oro award in 1955. Particularly since the plastic-loving era of the 1960s and 70s, Kartell has become an enduring household name; from the famous designs of Anna Castelli Ferrieri and Joe Colombo in the 1960s to more recent hits such as Philippe Starck’s Ghost Chairs or Ron Arad’s Bookworm shelves, Kartell has consistently chosen to work with the world’s most talented designers while reinventing plastic as a quality material for the new age.
This survey covers the entire history of the company, decade by decade, exploring all aspects of its evolution as well as the social and technological qualities of Kartell products. Also included is an interview with Claudio Luti, owner and President of Kartell for more than 20 years and architect of the new boom. But most of all the objects themselves—in historical shots, ads, displays, and many photos especially made for this publication, with detailed captions on the technological innovations behind the design—tell the story of a company that brought us the culture of plastics.

Bradshaw Variations
Since leaving his job to look after Alexa, his eight year old daughter, Thomas Bradshaw has found the structure of his daily piano practice and the study of musical form brings a nourishment to these difficult middle years. His pursuit of a more artistic way of life shocks and irritates his parents and his in-laws. Why has he swapped roles with Tonie Swann, his intense, intellectual wife who has accepted a demanding full-time University job? How can this be good for Alexa and for the family as a whole? Tonie tunes herself out of domestic life, into the harder, headier world of work where long-since forgotten memories of herself are awakened.
She soon finds herself outside their tight family circle and alive to previously unimaginable possibilities. Over the course of a year full of crisis and revelation, we follow the fortunes of Thomas, Tonie, his brothers and their families: Howard, the older, more successful brother and his gregarious wife Claudia; and Leo, lacking confidence, propped up by Susie, his sharp-tongued, heavy-drinking wife. At the head of the family, the aging Bradshaw parents continue their marital dynamic of bickering and petty undermining.
“The Bradshaw Variations” is a powerful novel about how our choices and our loves and the family life we build will always be an echo – a variation – of a theme played out in our own childhood. The novel, Cusk’s sixth , shows a prize-winning writer at the height of her powers.

Merrick
The Vampire Armand finished with a tantalising moment - the Vampire Lestat rising from the dead in present-day New Orleans to walk again among Anne Rice's unforgettable undead. Now Lestat lives again but in a twilight world of music and memory. In this volume it is his mesmerizing friend and coeval Louis de Pointe du Lac (originating in 18th century France and Interview with the Vampire) who is tortured by the memory of the child vampire, Claudia, whom he loved and lost. With the help of David Talbot, vampire and ultimate fixer from the secret Talamasca organisation, Louis calls on the help of Merrick, young and gorgeous mixed-race by-blow of the rich New Orleans Mayfair clan. To save Louis' sanity, Merrick must use her black witchcraft to call up the ghost of Claudia - however dangerous this may be. There are other Mayfair spirits who will not lie still, and her search takes her close to the edge, through blood and terror, ritual and violence. Sweeping from New Orleans to the Brazilian jungle and the island of Haiti, this is vampire literature at its most tantalising, sexy and irresistible.

Mi micsoda Orvoslás
Amióta csak élet van a Földön, azóta léteznek betegségek. Hajdanán az emberek a démonokat és az isteneket tették felelőssé, ha megbetegedtek. Később megpróbáltak a betegségek okainak nyomára bukkanni, és az orvoslásban felhasználták a természetben fellelhető gyógyító anyagokat.
Claudia Eberhard-Metzger tudományos újságíró ebben a Mi Micsoda kötetben izgalmas utazásra hívja ifjú olvasóit az orvostudomány történetébe. Mesél a középkori borbélyok gyógyító tevékenységéről, bemutatja az orvoslás úttörő eseményeit, például az első védőoltás körülményeit, és beszámol azokról a véletlenekről, amelyeknek például a penicillin felfedezését köszönhetjük.

Saturday
The critical response to Saturday must be making Ian McEwan a very happy man (not that his virtually unassailable position as Britains leading novelist has been in doubt). While contemporaries (and rivals) Martin Amis and Will Self have had much mor
e hit-or-miss records recently, each new McEwan novel gleans a host of plaudits, and Atonement has been generally hailed as his masterpiece. Saturday may not enjoy quite such acclaim, but its a remarkably accomplished piece of work, as richly drawn

Ez a nagy területű és nagyon hosszúra nyúló ország északról délre egyetlen hatalmas ívet ír le, az utazó az Alpok peremétől a csizma orráig 1200 kilométert tesz meg, miközben számtalan, mindig más jellegű tájegységen megy keresztül. Minden régió őrzi saját kulináris jellegzetességeit. A változatos tájakon belül sokféle mikroklíma gondoskodik a kolbász, sonka- és sajttermékek elismert gazdagságáról, és az olasz borok kimeríthetetlenül színes palettájáról. A könyv egyszerre érdekes olvasmány, útikalauz és remek szakácskönyv.
