Frankenstein (nem.)
Dem Schweizer Naturwissenschaftler Victor Frankenstein gelingt es, aus Leichenteilen einen menschenähnlichen Körper zusammenzusetzen und ihm Leben einzuhauchen. Das so entstandene Monstrum begibt sich auf die Suche nach anderen Menschen und nach Liebe, erregt aber überall nur Abscheu. So wird es zum Dämon und tötet, weil es nicht lieben darf.

All About Me!
At 95, the legendary Mel Brooks continues to set the standard for comedy across television, film, and the stage. Now, for the first time, this EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner shares his story in his own words.
"I hope fans of comedy will get a kick out of the stories behind my work, and really enjoy taking this remarkable ride with me." -Mel Brooks
For anyone who loves American comedy, the long wait is over. Here are the never-before-told, behind-the-scenes anecdotes and remembrances from a master storyteller, filmmaker, and creator of all things funny.
All About Me! charts Mel Brooks's meteoric rise from a Depression-era kid in Brooklyn to the recipient of the National Medal of Arts. Whether serving in the United States Army in World War II, or during his burgeoning career as a teenage comedian in the Catskills, Mel was always mining his experiences for material, always looking for the perfect joke. His iconic career began with Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows, where he was part of the greatest writers' room in history, which included Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. After co-creating both the mega-hit 2000 Year Old Man comedy albums and the classic television series Get Smart, Brooks's stellar film career took off. He would go on to write, direct, and star in The Producers, The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, and Spaceballs, as well as produce groundbreaking and eclectic films, including The Elephant Man, The Fly, and My Favorite Year. Brooks then went on to conquer Broadway with his record-breaking, Tony-winning musical, The Producers.
All About Me! offers fans insight into the inspiration behind the ideas for his outstanding collection of boundary-breaking work, and offers details about the many close friendships and collaborations Brooks had, including those with Sid Caesar, Carl Reiner, Gene Wilder, Madeleine Kahn, Alfred Hitchcock, and the great love of his life, Anne Bancroft.
Filled with tales of struggle, achievement, and camaraderie (and dozens of photographs), readers will gain a more personal and deeper understanding of the incredible body of work behind one of the most accomplished and beloved entertainers in history.

The Alps
The Alps have seen the march of armies, the flow of pilgrims and Crusaders, the feats of mountaineers and the dreams of engineers-and some 14 million people live among their peaks today. In The Alps, Stephen O'Shea takes readers up and down these majestic mountains, journeying through their 500-mile arc across France, Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. He explores the reality behind Hannibal's crossing; he reveals how the Alps have influenced culture from Frankenstein to Heidi and The Sound of Music; and he visits the spot of Sherlock Holmes's death scene, the bloody site of the Italians' retreat in the First World War and Hitler's notorious Eagle's Nest. Throughout, O'Shea records his adventures with the watch makers, salt miners, cable-car operators and yodelers who define the Alps today.

Included in this volume are groundbreaking works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; Agatha Christie's The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first Hercule Poirot novel; Charlotte Perkins Gilman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" and her follow-up essay; and poetry from the likes of Christina Rossetti, Amy Lowell, and Sara Teasdale.

The Monsters We Deserve
'Do monsters always stay in the book where they were born? Are they content to live out their lives on paper, and never step foot into the real world?'
The Villa Diodati, on the shore of Lake Geneva, 1816: the Year without Summer. As Byron, Polidori, and Mr and Mrs Shelley shelter from the unexpected weather, old ghost stories are read and new ghost stories imagined. Born by the twin brains of the Shelleys is Frankenstein, one of the most influential tales of horror of all time.
In a remote mountain house, high in the French Alps, an author broods on Shelley's creation. Reality and perception merge, fuelled by poisoned thoughts. Humankind makes monsters; but who really creates who? This is a book about reason, the imagination, and the creative act of reading and writing. Marcus Sedgwick's ghostly, menacing novel celebrates the legacy of Mary Shelley's literary debut in its bicentenary year.

Elastic
The bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walk unlocks the secrets of flexible thinking
What do Pokemon Go and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein have in common?
Why do some businesses survive, and others fail at the first sign of change?
What gives the human brain the edge over computers?
The answer: Elastic Thinking. It's an ability we all possess, and one that we can all learn to hone in order to succeed, at work and in our everyday lives.
Here Leonard Mlodinow, whose own flexible thinking has taken him from physics professor to TV scriptwriter and bestselling author, takes us on a revelatory exploration of how elasticity works. He draws on cutting-edge neuroscience to show how, millennia ago, our brains developed an affinity for novelty, idea generation and exploration. He discovers how flexible thinking enabled some of the greatest artists, writers, musicians and innovators to create paradigm shifts. He investigates the organisations that have demonstrated an elastic ability to adapt to new technologies. And he reveals how you can test your own brain power and increase your capacity for elastic thinking.
By uncovering the secrets of our flexible minds, Elastic explains how to thrive in an endlessly dynamic world, at a time when an ability to adapt is more important than ever before.

A Dog's Heart
When a stray dog dying on the streets of Moscow is taken in by a wealthy professor, he is subjected to medical experiments in which he receives various transplants of human organs. As he begins to transform into a rowdy, unkempt human by the name of Poligraf Poligrafovich Sharikov, his actions distress the professor and those surrounding him, although he finds himself accepted into the ranks of the Soviet state.A parodic reworking of the Frankenstein myth and a vicious satire of the Communist revolution and the concept of the New Soviet man, A Dog's Heart was banned by the censors in 1925 and circulated only in samizdat form. Nowadays this hugely entertaining tale has become very popular in Russia, and has inspired many adaptations across the world.

A történelem bizarr lábjegyzetei
"Egy könyv, amelyet elolvasunk, újraolvasunk, majd felolvasunk a gyerekeinknek is." (The Independent on Sunday)
"...úgy megragadja az olvasót, mint Ian Fleming és John le Carré legjobb munkái." (The Sunday Times)
Hallott már a Vörös Frankensteinről?
Az Egyesült Államok császáráról?
A hidegháború utolsó titkáról?
Giles Milton könyve közel száz bizarr, megdöbbentő epizódot mutat be a történelemből, amelyek úgy tűnnek, mintha egy regényíró fantáziájának szüleményei lennének, pedig megtörtént, valós események.
Olvashatunk többek között Hiroo Onadáról, a magányos japán katonáról, aki a második világháborút egészen 1974-ig vívta, Agatha Christie krimiíróról, aki 1926-ban tizenegy napra eltűnt és Werner Franzról, a Hindenburg zeppelin hajósinasáról, aki ép bőrrel úszta meg az 1936-os borzalmas balesetet, amikor a léghajó hatalmas tűzgolyóvá változott New Jersey felett.
Kémek, haramiák, rabszolgák, kalandorok és kalandkeresők népesítik be a lenyűgöző tablóképet, amely húsz évszázadot ölel fel, és hat kontinens múltjába nyújt betekintést.
A népszerű angol történész-író alapos kutatómunka után állította össze a kötetet, az emberi történelem sajátos, furcsa lábjegyzeteinek tárházát.
