Szingli szombatra / Vörös Rózsa történetek
Hűség vagy sodró szenvedély - a döntésen a boldogság múlik.
Karen Jones, az Alliance társközvetítő cég ügynöke és Michael Wolfe, Hollywood fenegyereke lassan egy éve él boldog álházasságban. A látszat fenntartása mindennél fontosabb számukra: ha kiderül, hogy Mike, a nők bálványa valójában a férfiakhoz vonzódik, derékba törik a karrierje. Karen igaz barátként támogatja férjét, és a hamarosan esedékes válás után ő maga is valóra szeretné váltani az álmát: egy bajba jutott fiatalokat segítő központot akar alapítani a házasságért cserébe járó összegből. A váratlanul felbukkanó Zach, Michael bátyja azonban mindent összezavar...
Zach, aki nem ismeri Karen és Mike házasságának titkát, őrlődik: hogy is közeledhetne öccse feleségéhez? Karen, aki sosem árulná el Mike-ot, kétségbe van esve: mi van, ha számára Zach az igazi? Michael legszívesebben felvállalná vonzódását a családja előtt, ugyanakkor irtózik is a gondolattól. Mindhárman nagy döntés előtt állnak, ráadásul Karennek, amikor találkozik a nehéz sorsú tinilánnyal, Beckyvel, a saját múltjával is szembe kell néznie.

"Szexi, szexi, SZEXI!" SHH MOM's READING
"Provokatív és mocskos... Imádtam ez a könyvet." Roxy Sloane, #1 bestsellerszerző
Colton Drake nem ismeri a nemet. Legalábbis nem fogadja el...
"Fogalmam sincs, miért adta el a szüzességét potom egy millióért. Mindegy is, én vagyok, aki először magamévá tehettem. Sokat érek vele, mondhatom. Különleges az ízlésem, sajátosak a szexuális hajlamaim. Kissé válogatósabb vagyok az átlagnál. A szűz lányok kitanítása finomságot és türelmet igényel - ami nekem nincs."
Sophie Evanst sarokba szorították. A testvére élete a tét, ezért csupán egyetlen lehetősége van, hogy kiverekedje magát ebből a helyzetből: el kell árvereznie a szüzességét egy exkluzív erotikus klubban. Miután a legtöbbet ígérő Colton Drake hazaviszi magával, Sophie hamar megtanulja, hogy semmi sem az, aminek látszik, ha erről a csodálatosan zűrös pasasról van szó. Az együttlét olyan kihívásokat jelent Sophie számára, amilyenekre egyáltalán nem számított, és felébreszti benne a vágyat olyan dolgok iránt, amelyek korábban eszébe sem jutottak.
A New York Times és a USA Today bestsellerszerzőjének bűnösen csábító erotikus regényében mindennek ára van, és a szerelemért kell a legtöbbet fizetni.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

No, her secret is far worse than that. Saffy has a messy, inexplicable, uncontrollable crush. So while she's busy plotting her next murder, she also has the much harder task of figuring out how to get a boyfriend.

A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.
With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to the end of the holidays moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.

La lunga strada di sabbia
The extraordinary picture story by Paolo Di Paolo, accompanied by texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini which documents and narrates Italians on vacation during Summer 1959, from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic Sea; from Ventimiglia to Trieste (from the western to the eastern border). In 1959 Paolo Di Paolo is a 34-year-old photographer collaborating with the cultural weekly magazine Il Mondo directed by Mario Pannunzio, and the widely distributed magazine Tempo. Pier Paolo Pasolini is a promising 37-year-old writer who had published The Best of Youth, The Street Kids and A Violent Life.He is not yet a film director. In Italy, the "economic miracle" has just begun. The newspapers tend to offer to Italian families a microcosm of mythical characters as a diversion to the dullness and fear of war, emigration, and poverty.
Arturo Tofanelli, editor in chief of the monthly Successo and the weekly Tempo, entrusts the two young men, Di Paolo and Pasolini, who did not know each other, to do a report on the Italian Summer Holidays that will be published by Successo magazine in three issues (July, August and September 1959). The writer and the photographer set off from Ventimiglia together, with the plan of travelling through the coasts of Italy to the south and climbing up to Trieste. But they have different visions.
"Pasolini was looking for a lost world of literary ghosts, an Italy that no longer existed," recalls Di Paolo. "I was looking for an Italy that was looking to the future. I conceived the title The Long Road of Sand meaning the strenuous road traveled by Italians to reach well-being and holidays after the War." A complex, delicate partnership is born between Pasolini and Di Paolo, they will travel together only the first stage of this journey, but this experience would later be consolidated in mutual respect and trust.
Text in English, German and Italian.

Since his adventure in Grunsby-on-Sea, Steven Percival has been thriving. He's kept his powers under control, come out of the closet, and been with his handsome American boyfriend, Troy, almost every day this summer.

The Pole and Other Stories
A pianist falls grandly, helplessly in love in this elegant new novella from the twice-Booker Prize winner
The Pole tells the story of Witold Walczykiewicz, a vigorous, white-haired pianist, who becomes infatuated with Beatriz, a stylish patron of the arts, after she helps organize his Barcelona concert.
Although Beatriz, who is married, is initially unimpressed by Wittold, she soon finds herself pursued and ineluctably swept into his world. As he sends her letters, extends countless invitations to travel, and even visits her husband's summer home in Mallorca, their unlikely relationship blossoms, though only on her terms.
As the power struggle between them intensifies — Is it Beatriz who limits their passion by controlling her emotions? Or is it Witold, trying to force into life his dream of love? Evocative of Joyce's 'The Dead,' The Pole is a haunting work, evoking the 'inexhaustible palette of sensations, from blind love to compassion' (El País) typical of Coetzee's finest novels.
Published together with five exceptional stories, this new work from one of our greatest writers is a must for all literary connoisseurs.
Gay Best Friend
He's always been the token gay best friend. Now, stuck between a warring bride and groom hurtling toward their one perfect day, he's finally ready to focus on something new: himself.
Domenic Marino has become an expert at code-switching between the hypermasculine and ultrafeminine worlds of his two soon-to-be-wed best friends. But this summer-reeling from his own failed engagement and tasked with attending their bachelor and bachelorette parties-he's anxious over having to play both sides.
The pressure is on. The bride wants Dom to keep things clean. The groom wants Dom to "let loose" with the guys. And Dom just wants to get out of this whole mess with his friendships intact.
But once the rowdy groomsmen show up at the beach house-including a surprise visit from the groom's old frat brother, handsome and charming PGA star Bucky Graham-chaos (and unexpected romance) quickly ensues. By the time Dom returns for the bachelorette party, he's accumulated a laundry list of secrets that threaten to destroy everything-from the wedding, to Bucky's career, to the one thing Dom hasn't been paying nearly enough attention to lately: his own life.
