100 Years of the Best American Short Stories
"The Best American Short Stories"is the longest running and best-selling series of short fiction in the country. For the centennial celebration of this beloved annual series, master of the form Lorrie Moore selects forty stories from the more than two thousand that were published in previous editions. Series editor Heidi Pitlor recounts behind-the-scenes anecdotes and examines, decade by decade, the trends captured over a hundred years. Together, the stories and commentary offer an extraordinary guided tour through a century of literature with what Moore calls all its wildnesses of character and voice. These forty stories represent their eras but also stand the test of time. Here is Ernest Hemingway s first published story and a classic by William Faulkner, who admitted in his biographical note that he began to write as an aid to love-making. Nancy Hale s story describes far-reaching echoes of the Holocaust; Tillie Olsen s story expresses the desperation of a single mother; James Baldwin depicts the bonds of brotherhood and music. Here is Raymond Carver s minimalism, a term he disliked, and Grace Paley s secular Yiddishkeit. Here are the varied styles of Donald Barthelme, Charles Baxter, and Jamaica Kincaid. From Junot Diaz to Mary Gaitskill, from ZZ Packer to Sherman Alexie, these writers and stories explore the different things it means to be American. Moore writes that the process of assembling these stories allowed her to look thrillingly not just at literary history but at actual history the cries and chatterings, silences and descriptions of a nation in flux. "100 Years of The Best American Short Stories"is an invaluable testament, a retrospective of our country s ever-changing but continually compelling literary artistry. LORRIE MOORE, after many years as a professor of creative writing at the University of Wisconsin Madison, is now the Gertrude Conaway Vanderbilt Professor of English at Vanderbilt University. Moore has received honors for her work, among them the"Irish Times"International Fiction Prize and a Lannan Foundation fellowship, as well as the PEN/Malamud Award and the Rea Award for her achievement in the short story. Her most recent novel, "A Gate at the Stairs, "was short-listed for the 2010 Orange Prize for Fiction and for the PEN/Faulkner Award, and her most recent story collection, "Bark," was short-listed for the Story Prize and the Frank O Connor Award. HEIDI PITLOR is a former senior editor at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and has been the series editor of"The Best American Short Stories"since 2007. She is the author of the novels"The Birthdays and The Daylight Marriage."

The Ten Types of Human
This book is the one. Think Sapiens and triple it.' - Julia Hobsbawm, author of Fully Connected
We all have ten types of human in our head.
They're the people we become when we face life's most difficult decisions. We want to believe there are things we would always do - or things we never would. But how can we be sure? What are our limits? Do we have limits?
The Ten Types of Human is a pioneering examination of human nature. It looks at the best and worst that human beings are capable of, and asks why. It explores the frontiers of the human experience, uncovering the forces that shape our thoughts and actions in extreme situations.
From courtrooms to civil wars, from Columbus to child soldiers, Dexter Dias takes us on a globe-spanning journey in search of answers, touching on the lives of some truly exceptional people.
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, social psychology and human rights research, The Ten Types of Human is a provocative map to our hidden selves. It provides a new understanding of who we are - and who we can be.
`I emerged from this book feeling better about almost everything... a mosaic of faces building into this extraordinary portrait of our species.' - Guardian
`The Ten Types of Human is a fantastic piece of non-fiction, mixing astonishing real-life cases with the latest scientific research to provide a guide to who we really are. It's inspiring and essential.' - Charles Duhigg

Fényhozó
Skandar Graun semmire sem emlékszik kalandos múltjából; együgyű boldogságban éldegél Kirovangban, szajhákat futtat Korgan kocsmájában, és éjt nappallá téve sörrel öntözgeti szomjas gigáját. Minden remekül megy, ám egy napon megjelenik valaki, aki kizökkenti a félorkot e kellemes disznólkodásból. Finomlelkű Aleysia, a vékonydongájú elf lány alaposan felbosszantja Skandar Graunt, elfordítja tőle saját pártfogoltjait, kirúgatja kedvenc törzshelyéről, sőt, Kirovang teljes lakosságát ellene uszítja. Az egykori harcos-pap lassan ocsúdik, azt hiszi, csak egy engedetlen lányt kell jobb belátásra térítenie, de hamarosan rádöbben, hogy maga a Fényhozó látogatott el hozzá, hogy együtt számoljanak le a múlt egy rettenetes kísértetével.
A Káosz-ciklus hatodik része eredetileg a "Fényhozó" című antológiában szerepelt, s most először jelenik meg önálló kötetként.

Babilon bárkája
Az Elefántsuttogó szerzőitől.
"Ritka élményt nyújt ez a könyv: az iraki háborúról szól, mégis nyugodt szívvel nevezhetjük felemelőnek." (Entertainment Weekly)
2003-ban kitör az iraki háború, ádáz harcok folynak Bagdadért. Lawrence Anthony neves dél-afrikai természetvédőt a hírek hallatán nem hagyja nyugodni a gondolat: mi lesz az állatkerttel, a szerencsétlen állatokkal? Bagdadba utazik, ahol döbbenten tapasztalja, hogy a lövöldözések, pusztítások és féktelen fosztogatások óriási károkat okoztak az állatkertben. Állatgondozók, jószívű amerikai katonák és áldozatos helybéliek segítségével lát neki, sokszor az életveszéllyel dacolva, hogy mentse, ami menthető.
A Babilon bárkája lélegzetelállító történet: olvasunk Udaj Huszein "emberevő" oroszlánjairól, bejárjuk Szaddám rommá lőtt palotáit, országúton szaladó struccokat kergetünk amerikai ellenőrzőponton át, és végigizguljuk, ahogy megmentik az iraki diktátor híres arab telivéreit.
A Babilon bárkája a világ egyik legnagyobb állatmentő akciójának szívet melengető és lelkesítő története.
"A töretlen küldetéstudat csodákra képes. A Babilon bárkája is erről szól, a határtalan elkötelezettségről. Elérni azt, amit kitűztünk, és a kételyek ellenére tűzön-vízen át kitartani. Magával ragadó alkotás." (Antal Alexa WWF Magyarország, kommunikációs vezető)

Jól fésült ügyek - Avagy hogyan lettem diplomata?
A diplomata is ember. Élvezi a jó kajákat, utazgat, piacra jár, megismerheti, mondjuk, Dániát, Szlovéniát, a délszláv területeket. A fejét fogja, ha kissé túlbuzgó főnöke kioktatja arról, hogyan kell állnia a szőnyegnek. Ismer vagy húsz nyelvet (persze, hogy nem). Véletlenül jelentős szerepet játszik abban, hogy hazája belép az EU-ba, majd megtapasztalja, hogy az angoloknál csak a reggeli jó. Idővel rájön, hogy senki sem tökéletes, és néha egy amerikai is tud végzetes marhaságokat beszélni. Megismer néhány eszkimót, aztán rájön, hogy nem minden kedves, ami délszláv. Egy repülőút alatt átír egy tízoldalas szöveget kétoldalasra. Átvészeli a tragédiákat, és azon sem csodálkozik, ha egy fogadáson totálisan egyedül találja magát. Tudja, hogy nem lehet a királynőt letegezni, viszont jelentős politikusoknak néha odaszólhatnak: ne hazudjál! Szűcs R. Gábor könyve üdítő, kellemes kikapcsolódást ígér. Az egykori diplomata vidám anekdotái bepillantást engednek a diplomáciai élet kulisszái mögé. Kíváncsiskodhatunk, röhöghetünk, sírhatunk, de egy biztos: ezt a könyvet nem tudjuk letenni.

Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair, Thackeray's panoramic, satirical saga of corruption at all levels of English society, was published in 1847 but set during the Napoleonic Wars. It chronicles the lives of two women who could not be more different: Becky Sharp, an orphan whose only resources are her vast ambitions, her native wit, and her loose morals, and her schoolmate Amelia Sedley, a typically naive Victorian heroine, the pampered daughter of a wealthy family. Becky's fluctuating fortunes eventually bring her to an affair with Amelia's dissolute husband, when he is killed at Waterloo, Amelia and her child are left penniless, while Becky and her husband Rawdon Crawley rise in the world, managing to lead a high life in London solely on the basis of their shrewdness. The chapter entitled 'How to Live on Nothing' is a classic. Thackeray's subtitle, "A Novel Without a Hero", is understating the case, his view of humanity in this novel is distinctly bleak and deliberately antiheroic. Critics of the time misunderstood the book, decrying it as (among other things) vicious, vile, and odious. But "Vanity Fair" has endured as one of the great comic novels of all time, and a landmark in the history of realism in fiction.
