Első uhuzásom
A természethez gyermekkorától vonzódó Fekete Istvánt különösen érdekelte a madárvilág. Már szülőfalujában, Göllén megismerte és tanulmányozta a madarakat, télen etette őket, de kalitkában is tartott belőlük. Mindez folytatódott, és szinte életformává vált Kaposváron. Később, a gazdatiszti munkája idején már dokumentálta megfigyeléseit és rendszeresen olvasta a magyar nyelvű ornitológiai szakirodalmat. A harmincas évektől elkötelezetten népszerűsítette a hazai madár megfigyelést országosan szervező Magyar Madártani Intézetet és kiadványait a Nimródban, ahol időről időre táplálkozási és vonulási adatokat is közölt. Néhány neves fővárosi madarásszal pedig rendszeresen tartotta a kapcsolatot.

Dubliners
Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, James Joyce's Dubliners is both a vivid and unflinching portrait of "dear dirty Dublin" at the turn of the twentieth century and a moral history of a nation and a people whose "golden age" has passed. His richly drawn characters-at once intensely Irish and utterly universal-may forever haunt the reader. In mesmerizing writing rich with evocative imagery, Joyce delves into the heart of the city of his birth, capturing the cadences of Dubliners' speech and portraying with remarkable realism their outer and inner lives. This magnificent collection of fifteen stories, including such touchstones as "Araby," "Grace," and "The Dead," and in the definitive text authorized by the Joyce estate-collated from all known proofs, manuscripts, and impressions of Dubliners to reflect the author's wishes-reveals Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.
Featuring a new introduction by acclaimed writer Colum McCann and the stunning cover art and sumptuous packaging that are the hallmarks of the Penguin Classics Graphic Deluxe series, this edition of Dubliners is worthy of the centennial of one of the twentieth century's most important books.

Between the Sheets
Dana De Lacey, bestselling romance novelist, has the world at her feet. The words on the page flow easily; an exciting new book deal beckons, and life at home in Dublin is good. But Dana's self-confidence and success depend on one person: her gorgeous husband, Gus. Without him, she has no fall-back. No children, no close family of her own to call upon. When Gus leaves her, she is devastated. The words fail to come. The alcohol flows too freely. She cannot sleep. Then her estranged brother, Ed, arrives to take care of her out of the blue, and memories which she has buried for many years begin to surface: startling recollections of a childhood and a little girl long-forgotten, which inspire Dana at last to write from the heart. Which Dana was it that Gus walked out on -- the glamorous party girl, whose romantic novels always have a happy ending? Or someone with a different name, whose life tells a very different story? Forced to face up to the past, can she find the real Dana, recover her career, and try to make Gus love her for the person she really is?

Oscar Wilde
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (1854-1900) was the son of Sir William Wilde, a noted Dublin eye specialist, and Jane Francesca, Lady Wilde, a well-known Irish poet and journalist. He was a brilliant student at Trinity College, Dublin and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize in 1878 for his poem Ravenna. He married his wife Constance in 1884 and they had two sons. Wilde's most prolific period was between 1888 and 1895. Following an ill-advised lawsuit against Lord Alfred Douglas's father, The Marquess of Queensberry, for libel, Wilde was prosecuted for homosexual acts and imprisoned for two years with hard labour in Reading Gaol. He died in a house on the Rue des Beaux Arts in Paris in 1900.

Dissident Gardens
This book is longlisted for the 2015 Folio Prize and longlisted for the 2015 IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 1955. Rose Zimmer got screwed. It wasn't the first time, and it wasn't the last. In fact, Rose - like all American Communists - got screwed by the entire twentieth century. She doesn't take it lying down. For over forty years she pounds the streets of Sunnyside Gardens, Queens, terrorising the neighbourhood, and her family, with the implacability of her beliefs, the sheer force of her grudge. And the generations that follow Rose will not easily escape her influence, her ire, her radicalism. Foremost among these is Miriam, Rose's charismatic and passionate want-away hippie daughter, who heads for the Greenwich Village of the Sixties; her black stepson Cicero, an angry debunking machine; and her bewildered grandson Sergius, who finds himself an orphan in the capitalist now. This is a radical family epic, and an alternative view of the American twentieth century, Dissident Gardens is the story of a group of individuals who fought and lost, but might one day win. It is a blast of pure style and literary dazzle from one of the great and most innovative writers of the age.

'Dammit,' she realized. 'I think I'm having a nervous breakdown.'
Hot-shot magazine editor Lisa Edwards' career is destined for high-rise New York, when suddenly she's blown off-course into the delights of low-rise Dublin. But what on earth can she do about it?

Clodagh Kelly is Ashling's best friend and has done everything right: beautiful kids and a husband come prince - everything in fact that Ashling has ever wanted. She should be - yet, she's not - happy.
Three women on the verge of happiness and even closer to a complete breakdown. Which way will they fall?

Beautiful Creatures - Lenyűgöző teremtmények
Gatlin megyében ritkán érték meglepetések az embert. Legalábbis azt hittem. Kiderült azonban, hogy nagyobbat nem is tévedhettem volna.
Volt egy átok.
Volt egy lány.
És a végén
Ott volt egy sírgödör.
Lena Duchannes-hoz fogható lányt még nem láttak Gatlin városában. A középiskola új diákja mindent megtesz azért, hogy különleges képességeit és a családját sújtó évszázados átkot eltitkolja a városka vaskalapos polgárai és a diáktársai előtt. Azonban az elfeledett Dél vadon burjánzó kertjeiben, borongós mocsaraiban és romos temetőiben nincs az a titok, ami örökre titok maradhatna.
Ethan Wate számolja a napokat az érettségiig. Azon a napon nemcsak a középiskolának, de Gatlinnek is búcsút akar mondani. Hónapok óta egy gyönyörű lány kísért az álmaiban. Amikor Lena beköltözik a város legrégebbi, egyben leghírhedtebb ültetvényére, Ethan megmagyarázhatatlan vonzódást érez iránta. Elszántan kutatni kezdi a kettejük közötti titokzatos kapcsolat eredetét.
Azt hiszed, ritkán érnek meglepetések?
Egy titok mindent megváltoztathat.
