Photography
The subjects Christian Voigt photographs are incredibly diverse: a tattoo studio in Buenos Aires is at home in his repertoire next to New York's Morgan Library, while an enchanting landscape in Myanmar is juxtaposed with the clean lines of Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. He uses analog and digital large-format cameras to create the desired effect of a greatly condensed image. And although the result generally gets a digital fine-tuning, Voigt stresses that he develops his unique visual language with his camera, not a computer. Intense artificial colour and imposing formats, such as his museum series with images that are eight meters wide, make viewers gape in awe and wonder. Voigt travels the world searching for interesting stories, which he then retells for us most impressively in his series of photographs.

A Little History of Religion
For curious readers young and old, a rich and colorful history of religion from humanity's earliest days to our own contentious times In an era of hardening religious attitudes and explosive religious violence, this book offers a welcome antidote. Richard Holloway retells the entire history of religion-from the dawn of religious belief to the twenty-first century-with deepest respect and a keen commitment to accuracy. Writing for those with faith and those without, and especially for young readers, he encourages curiosity and tolerance, accentuates nuance and mystery, and calmly restores a sense of the value of faith. Ranging far beyond the major world religions of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, Holloway also examines where religious belief comes from, the search for meaning throughout history, today's fascinations with Scientology and creationism, religiously motivated violence, hostilities between religious people and secularists, and more. Holloway proves an empathic yet discerning guide to the enduring significance of faith and its power from ancient times to our own.

The Beautiful Ones
From Prince himself comes the brilliant coming-of-age-and-into-superstardom story of one of the greatest artists of all time-featuring never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks and lyric sheets, and the exquisite memoir he began writing before his tragic death.
Prince was a musical genius, one of the most talented, beloved, accomplished, popular, and acclaimed musicians in pop history. But he wasn't only a musician-he was also a startlingly original visionary with an imagination deep enough to whip up whole worlds, from the sexy, gritty funk paradise of his early records to the mythical landscape of Purple Rain to the psychedelia of Paisley Park. But his greatest creative act was turning Prince Rogers Nelson, born in Minnesota, into Prince, the greatest pop star of his era.
The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince-a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. The book is told in four parts. The first is composed of the memoir he was writing before his tragic death, pages that brings us into Prince's childhood world through his own lyrical prose. The second part takes us into Prince's early years as a musician, before his first album released, through a scrapbook of Prince's writing and photos. The third section shows us Prince's evolution through candid images that take us up to the cusp of his greatest achievement, which we see in the book's fourth section: his original handwritten treatment for Purple Rain-the final stage in Prince's self-creation, as he retells the autobiography we've seen in the first three parts as a heroic journey.
The book is framed by editor Dan Piepenbring's riveting and moving introduction about his short but profound collaboration with Prince in his final days-a time when Prince was thinking deeply about how to reveal more of himself and his ideas to the world, while retaining the mystery and mystique he'd so carefully cultivated-and annotations that provide context to each of the book's images.
This work is not just a tribute to Prince, but an original and energizing literary work, full of Prince's ideas and vision, his voice and image, his undying gift to the world.

Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor
Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, started his literary career with the publication of The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor...'On February 22 we were told that we would be returning to Columbia.' In 1955 eight crew members of Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were swept overboard. Velasco alone survived, drifting on a raft for ten days without food or water. Marquez retells the survivor's amazing tale of endurance, from his loneliness and thirst to his determination to survive. The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor was Marquez's first major work, published in a Colombian newspaper, El Espectador, in 1955 and then in book form in 1970. "The story of Velasco on his raft, his battle with sharks over a succulent fish, his hallucinations, his capture of a seagull which he was unable to eat, his subsequent droll rescue, has all the grip of archetypal myth.

War and Turpentine
Longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2017
A New York Times Top 10 Best Book of the Year
An Economist Best Book of the Year
The life of Urbain Martien—artist, soldier, survivor of World War I—lies contained in two notebooks he left behind when he died in 1981. In War and Turpentine, his grandson, a writer, retells his grandfather’s story, the notebooks providing a key to the locked chambers of Urbain’s memory.
With vivid detail, the grandson recounts a whole life: Urbain as the child of a lowly church painter, retouching his father’s work;dodging death in a foundry; fighting in the war that altered the course of history; marrying the sister of the woman he truly loved; being haunted by an ever-present reminder of the artist he had hoped to be and the soldier he was forced to become. Wrestling with this tale, the grandson straddles past and present, searching for a way to understand his own part in both. As artfully rendered as a Renaissance fresco, War and Turpentine paints an extraordinary portrait of one man’s life and reveals how that life echoed down through the generations.

Shed That Fed A Million Children
In 1992, Magnus MacFarlane-Barrow was enjoying a pint with his brother when he got an idea that would change his life - and radically change the lives of others. After watching a news bulletin about war-torn Bosnia, the two brothers agreed to take a week's hiatus from work to help. What neither of them expected is that what began as a one-time road trip in a beaten-up Landrover rapidly grew to become Magnus's life's work - leading him to leave his job, sell his house and direct all his efforts to feeding thousands of the world's poorest children. Magnus retells how a series of miraculous circumstances and an overwhelming display of love from those around him led to the creation of Mary's Meals; an organisation that could hold the key to eradicating child hunger altogether. This humble, heart-warming yet powerful story has never been more relevant in our society of plenty and privilege. It will open your eyes to the extraordinary impact that one person can make.

Túl a Maszat-hegyen - CD melléklettel
Varró Dániel nagy sikerű gyerekkönyvének, melyből számos előadás készült, új és javított kiadása.
A Túl a Maszat-hegyen című történet hőse, Muhi Andris nem is sejti, mire vállalkozik, mikor elindul a Maszathegyen túlra, hogy meglátogassa régen látott jóbarátját. Maszat Jankát, Makula bácsit, Szösz nénét és a Maszat-hegy többi békés lakóját ugyanis nagy veszedelmek fenyegetik.
A könyv verses meseregény, verselésében és hangütésében a klasszikus verses regényeket idézi (Puskint, Byront, Arany Lászlót), a történet viszont kalandos, modern tündérmese. Többnyire gyermeki témákon mereng el a mesélő - hogy csúfolták gyerekkorában, vagy milyen az ideális gombfocikapu. A elbeszélést számos játékos, dallamos betétvers egészíti ki. Találhatnak benne kedvükre valót a kis- és nagyiskolások, a szüleik; a kalandok és izgalmak, a csendes ealmélkedések és az irodalmi ínyencségek kedvelői egyaránt.

Lacná kniha Csak azt szeretném, ha valaki várna rám valahol (-90%)
Tizenkét különböző nemű, korú és foglalkozású mesélő beszéli el élete egy-egy kiemelt pillanatát. Egy öregedő rocksztár, akit véletlenül mégis megérint a szerelem. Egy szintén szerelmes mérlegképes könyvelő, aki a nővéreivel bérel közös lakást. Egy anya, akinek második magzata elhal, miközben mindenre kiterjedő változásokat indított már el a család életében. Egy eltávos kiskatona, aki a bátyja árnyékában él. Egy állatorvosnő, aki részeg megerőszakolóit józan fejjel heréli ki.
Anna Gavalda novelláskötetének minden darabja egy váratlan fordulatra épül, arra a pici csavarra, melynek működésbe lépése után minden, ami korábban történt, mást jelent. A szerző hol humorral, hol távolságtartással, hol együttérzéssel, hol megvetéssel viszonyul szereplőihez: a langyos szerelmi vágyakozás úgy keveredik Gavalda történeteiben az egyszeri ember legmegrázóbb drámáival, mint a parfümpára és a kutyaürülék szaga a Champs Élysées-n.

News of a Kidnapping
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's News of a Kidnapping is a powerful retelling of actual events from a turbulent period of Colombian history. 'She looked over her shoulder before getting into the car to be sure no one was following her.' Pablo Escobar: billionaire drugs baron, ruthless manipulator brutal killer and jefe of the infamous Madellin cartel. A man whose importance in the international drug trade and renown for his charitable work among the poor brought him influence and power in his home country of Colombia, and the unwanted attention of the American courts. Terrified of the new Colombian President's determination to extradite him to America, Escobar found the best bargaining tools he could find: hostages. In the winter of 1990, ten relatives of Colombian politicians, mostly women, were abducted and held hostage as Escobar attempted to strong-arm the government into blocking his extradition. Two died, the rest survived, and from their harrowing stories Marquez retells, with vivid clarity, the terror and uncertainty of those dark an volatile months.

Living with Leonardo
Living with Leonardo is a set of highly focused memoirs, a personal journey interwoven with historical research that encapsulates the author’s relationship with Leonardo da Vinci over more than half a century.
We learn of his encounters with the vast population that surrounds Leonardo: great and lesser academics, collectors and curators, devious dealers and unctuous auctioneers, major scholars and authors and pseudohistorians and fantasists; but also how he has grappled with swelling legions of ‘Leonardo loonies’, walked on the eggshells of vested interests in academia and museums, and fended off fusillades of non-Leonardos, sometimes more than one a week. Kemp leads us through his thinking on the Last Supper and the Mona Lisa, retells his part in the identification of the stolen Buccleuch Madonna and explains his involvement with and his theories on the two major Leonardo discoveries of the last 100 years, one of which plummeted into controversy (La Bella Principessa), while the other underwent a rapid ascent into widespread acceptance (Salvator Mundi). We learn firsthand of the thorny questions that surround attribution, the scientific analyses that support the experts’ interpretations, and the continuing importance of connoisseurship.
Throughout, from the most scholarly interpretations to the popularity of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, we are reminded of Leonardo’s rare genius and wonder at how an artist from 500 years ago continues to make such compelling posthumous demands on all those who engage with him.

Minden történet
Clarice Lispector összes novelláját tartja kezében az olvasó: azt a sok történetből összeálló nagy történetet, amely szerzőjüket igazi legendává tették.
Lispector sokáig az ínyenc olvasók titkos világtippje volt, napjainkban megkerülhetetlen alkotóként fedezték fel újra. Kritikusai joggal hasonlítják az életmű jelentőségét Franz Kafka és Jorge Louis Borges munkáihoz. A hol szürrealista, hol patetikus, gyakran szarkasztikus humorú írások varázslatos módon beszélnek el nem mindennapi történeteket. Az írások főszereplői saját szexuális és művészei erejükre ráébredő kamaszok, unatkozó háziasszonyok, akik számára minden történet önmagát túlmutató eseménnyé válik, a mindennapokat végzetes választási lehetőségekként megélő emberek. A hol teljesen hétköznapi, hol természetfölötti látomásokat megjelenítő írásokban mégis megmutatkozik valami közös: az emberi lélek feltárulkozása.
