Mortal Secrets
Like Sarah Bakewell's How to Live and Andrea Wulf's Magnificent Rebels, Mortal Secrets is a lively and accessible portrait of a major figure - Sigmund Freud - and the unprecedented era of creativity that shaped his ideas
Some cities are like stars. When the conditions are right, they ignite, and they burn with such fierce intensity that they outshine all their rivals. From 1890 and through the early years of the 20th century, Vienna became a dazzling beacon. The city was powered by an unprecedented number of extraordinary people - artists Klimt and Schiele, thinkers such as Theodor Herzl, and fashion icons like the glamorous Empress Sisi. Conversations in coffee houses and salons spurred advances in almost every area of human endeavour: science, politics, philosophy, and the arts. The influence of early 20th century Vienna is still detectable all around us - but the place where it is at its strongest is in our heads. The way we think about ourselves has been largely determined by Vienna's most celebrated resident: Sigmund Freud. Mortal Secrets is the story of Freud's life, Vienna's golden age, and an essential reappraisal of Freud's legacy.
For Profit
We have long been suspicious of corporations recklessly pursuing profit and amassing wealth and power.
But the story of the corporation didn't have to be like this. For most of history, they were not amoral entities, but public institutions designed to promote the societies that granted them charter. Magnuson reveals how the corporation has evolved since its beginnings in the ancient world. What happens in this next chapter of the global economy depends on whether we can return to their public-minded spirit, or whether we have sunk irrevocably into the swamp of high profit at all costs.
Epic and compelling in scope, For Profit illuminates the roles corporations played, for good and evil, in the making of the modern world.
Folk Music
Across seven decades, Bob Dylan has been the first singer of American song. As a writer and performer, he has rewritten the national songbook in a way that comes from his own vision and yet can feel as if it belongs to anyone who might listen.
In Folk Music, Greil Marcus tells Dylan’s story through seven of his most transformative songs. Marcus’s point of departure is Dylan’s ability to “see myself in others.” Like Dylan’s songs, this book is a work of implicit patriotism and creative skepticism. It illuminates Dylan’s continuing presence and relevance through his empathy - his imaginative identification with other people. This is not only a deeply felt telling of the life and times of Bob Dylan but a rich history of American folk songs and the new life they were given as Dylan sat down to write his own.

Wifedom
Looking for wonder and some reprieve from the everyday, Anna Funder slips into the pages of her hero George Orwell. As she watches him create his writing self, she tries to remember her own...
When she uncovers his forgotten wife, it's a revelation. Eileen O'Shaughnessy's literary brilliance shaped Orwell's work and her practical nous saved his life. But why - and how - was she written out of the story?
Using newly discovered letters from Eileen to her best friend, Funder recreates the Orwells' marriage, through the Spanish Civil War and WW II in London. As she rolls up the screen concealing Orwell's private life she is led to question what it takes to be a writer - and what it is to be a wife.
Compelling and utterly original, Wifedom speaks to the unsung work of women everywhere today, while offering a breathtakingly intimate view of one of the most important literary marriages of the 20th century. It is a book that speaks to our present moment as much as it illuminates the past.
The Fury
Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.
'There were seven of us in all, trapped on the island.
One of us was a murderer . . .'
On a small private Greek island, former movie star Lana Farrar - an old friend - invites a select group of us to stay.
It'll be hot, sunny, perfect. A chance to relax and reconnect - and maybe for a few hidden truths to come out.
Because nothing on this island is quite what it seems.
Not Lana. Not her guests.
Certainly not the murderer - furiously plotting their crime . . .
But who am I?
My name is Elliot Chase, and I'm going to tell you a story unlike any you've ever heard.
The Sun and the Void
Enter a lush world inspired by the history and mythology of South America, where twisted family politics deceive, dark magics thrive, and fantastical creatures roam.
Reina is desperate.
Stuck on the edges of society, Reina’s only hope lies in an invitation from a grandmother she’s never met. But the journey to her is dangerous, and prayer can’t always avert disaster.
Attacked by creatures that stalk the mountains, Reina is on the verge of death until her grandmother, a dark sorceress, intervenes. Now dependent on the Dona’s magic for her life, Reina will do anything to earn - and keep - her favor. Even the bidding of an ancient god who whispers to her at night.
Eva Kesaré is unwanted.
Illegitimate and of mixed heritage, Eva is her family’s shame. She tries to be the perfect daughter, but Eva is hiding a secret: magic calls to her.
Eva knows she should fight the temptation. Magic is the sign of the dark god, and using it is punishable by death. Yet it’s hard to ignore power when it has always been denied you. Eva is walking a dangerous path, one that gets stranger every day. And in the end, she’ll become something she never imagined.
Kay Nielsen. 1001 Nights
In the late 1910s, in a Europe ravaged by World War I, Danish illustrator Kay Nielsen put the finishing touches on his illustrations of A Thousand and One Nights. The results are considered masterpieces of early 20th-century illustration: bursting with sumptuous colors of deep blues, reds, and gold leaf, and evoking all the magic of this legendary collection of Indo-Persian and Arabic folktales, compiled between the 8th and 13th centuries.However, publishers retreated from Nielsen's project in the financially strapped postwar climate, and the publication never happened.
A rising star, Nielsen moved on to other work. This world heritage classic's spectacular pen, ink, and watercolor images remained under lock and key for 40 years. Published just once in the 1970s, the illustrations were rescued from oblivion after Nielsen's death in 1957 and are now held by the UCLA Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, the Art Institute of Chicago, and in two private collections.This publication is a unique compilation of fine art prints and stunning illustrations reproduced directly from Nielsen's original watercolors?the only complete set of his extraordinary drawings to have survived.
The book features descriptions of all of the images and three generously illustrated essays on the making of this series, the origin of Nielsen's unique imagery, and a history of the tales. In addition, it shows many unpublished or rarely seen artworks by Nielsen and intricate black-and-white drawings Nielsen created for the original publication.
SAFARI PLAZ
Léto na opuštěné pláži... slunce, surf, krásné holky... a nesmělý, zamilovaný králík. Komiksová novela německého autora Mawila vychází po USA, Španělsku a Francii také česky. Mawil, vl. jménem Markus Witzel, patří k největším talentům německé autorské scény a tamní kritika jej označuje za komiksového Woodyho Allena. V jeho tvorbě se objevují dvě základní linie - autobiografické příběhy a příhody brýlatého králíčka hledajícího své místo ve světě lidí. Pro obě z nich je příznačný Wawilův skvělý pozorovací talent, cit pro atmosféru, fascinace něžným pohlavím a smysl pro humor s melancholíckým nádechem.
The Nutcracker
Written in 1816 by the German Romantic E. T. A. Hoffmann for his children, nephews and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child's wonder at Christmas. Since its publication, it has inspired hundreds of artists and adaptations, most notably the legendary ballet, scored by Russian composer Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Today, the story - and its enchanting images of sugar plums and nutcrackers, mistletoe and the Kingdom of the Dolls - continues to cast its fantastical spell on readers of all ages.
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was one of the major figures of European Romanticism, specializing in tales of the fantastical and uncanny. He was also a music critic, jurist, composer and caricaturist. His Tales of Hoffmann, available in Penguin Classics, includes such masterpieces as 'Mademoiselle de Scudery', one of the earliest example of crime fiction, and Hoffmann's terrifying version of 'The Sandman'.
Joachim Neugroschel won three PEN translation awards and the French-American Foundation Translation Prize. He translated Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, among other works, for Penguin Classics.
Tenyérjóslás
A tenyérjóslás mindenki számára megtanulható! A magyar olvasók számára is jól ismert szakértő könnyedén elsajátítható módon mutatja be a módszer alapjait. Önbizalmat ad a kezdő tenyérjósnak, útmutatásait követve azonnal nekiláthatunk az elemzésnek, hasznosítva újonnan nyert ismereteinket. A tenyérjóslás kiváló módja saját magunk és mások jobb megismerésének. A kéz rejtett vonalai, jegyei segítenek feltérképezni személyiségünk főbb vonásait. Megtudhatjuk például, hogy a rövid ujjú embereknek nincs türelmük a részletekhez, és sokkal jobban szeretnek elkezdeni, mint befejezni valamit. Ezzel szemben, aki hosszú ujjakkal rendelkezik, sokkal jobban boldogul a részletekkel és szereti behatóan tanulmányozni a dolgokat. Tenyerünkből hasznos információkat nyerhetünk akár a párkapcsolat, a hivatás, az egészség, a kommunikáció és a kreativitás területére vonatkozóan is. Richard Webster rendszerében újdonság az ujjlenyomatok és a bőrredőmintázatok elemzése - ez utóbbi nagy előnye, hogy a még rejtett állapotban lévő betegségek, illetve az egyes betegségekre való hajlam azonosításában segít.
Isten
Isten, ha rátekint Erik Wahlström könyvére, azt mondhatja: ez így jó. Hiszen ő nemcsak Ábrahám, Izsák és Jákob istene, hanem Wahlströmé is. Végtelen humorérzékével pedig még remekül is szórakozik, amiképp mi is, egyszerű olvasók, a magunk istenképével.
Az Ó- és Újszövetség legdrámaibb fordulatait a három arkangyal, Gábriel, Mihály és Rafael baráti-munkatársi szemszögéből követhetjük ezúttal végig, a teremtéstől napjainkig. A jókötésű Mihály fegyverek fejlesztésében invenciózus, Gábriel közvetítői megbízatásán túl a fúvós hangszerekhez vonzódik, míg Rafael elsősorban filozofál és közvetít. A helyszín a menny, ahol az eredeti díszlet lassan-lassan az aktuális földi dizájnhoz alkalmazkodik, a műsor a Földön megy, de a jól ismert bibliai történetek új megvilágításba kerülnek. Az események indítékai nemcsak emberileg válnak érthetővé, nemcsak lényegre törően olvashatjuk más stílusban a nagy narratívát, de még a szociológia, pszichológia és minden más tudomány ismert arzenálja is felsejlik a háttérben.
A hatalmas lendülettel - hisz magával a teremtés aktusával - induló könyv kiemelkedő értéke, hogy sosem ül le, sőt még a befejezés is meglepően csattanós.

Lacná kniha Hetedik ecloga (-90%)
"Második kötetéhez érkezett "Egy vers" sorozatunk. A sorozatszerkesztő Pomogáts Béla választása a szebbnél szebb Radnóti-versek közül azért esett a Hetedik eclogára, "mert ez a vers ma figyelmeztetés: a ma is kiszolgáltatott helyzetbe került humánum vallomása, amely ugyanakkor nem nélkülözi a reményt". A vers megtalálása és első közlése óta keletkezett recepciójából nyújtunk át egy csokorravalót, hogy a magunk gondolatai mellé megismerhessük másokét (költőkét, írókét, irodalmárokét) is." (A kiadó)
