Every Man for Himself and God against All
The long-awaited memoir by the legendary filmmaker and celebrated author. Told in Werner Herzog's inimitable voice, this is the story of his epic artistic career, as inventive and daring as anything he has done before.
Hauling a steamship over a mountain in the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - Werner Herzog has always been intrigued by extremes of human experience. Here, he illuminates the influences and ideas that have driven his creativity and shaped his unique worldview.
Herzog's life matches the drama of his famous films: the boy growing up in poverty in a small village in the Alps after the Second World War; the teenager travelling the world in search of adventure that almost cost him his life; the director trying to calm his leading actor Klaus Kinski in the Amazonian jungle. And along the way, Herzog tells of ordinary people with extraordinary stories: rural labourers, circus acrobats, child soldiers.
Every Man for Himself and God Against All is at once a personal record of one of the great self-invented lives of our time, and a masterpiece that will enthral fans old and new. In a hypnotic swirl of memory, Herzog untangles and relives his most important experiences and inspirations, telling his story for the first and only time.
The Witches at the End of the World
"The powerful themes of revenge, redemption and healing are beautifully rendered in a story where love is the most potent magic of all." —Adriana Trigiani, author of The Good Left Undone
Rage burns brighter than any spellfire…
Deep in the birchwoods of Norway, magic courses through the veins of two sisters. For years they've been alone, but sweet-tempered Kaija is tired of living in shadows and longs for a life filled with community, even if it means stifling her magic. But Minna is a witch through and through, with wrath always simmering just below the surface. Different as they may be, both will never forget the day they were driven from their village. The day their mother burned.
When Kaija leaves to pursue a new life, Minna is left alone in the darkness of the forest. Devastated and outraged at the betrayal, Minna casts a curse to punish those who took everything from her. What she doesn't realize is that this act will incite a deadly chain of events. Soon it will destroy everything, including the life Kaija has lovingly built. But once a witch's rage boils, regret means nothing—she can't take back what's already done.
Someone will have to burn.
A magical story of sisterhood, revenge, and feminist rage, The Witches at the End of the World is perfect for fans of Alix Harrow and Kelly Barnhill.
Nature Is A Human Right
Having access to natural, green spaces is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. But, as urban development spreads, grey has become the new green.
Already, concrete outweighs every tree, bush and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide - especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. To combat this, Nature is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognized right for all, not a privilege.
This book has taken root from the mission and vision of the campaign, bringing together a collection of engaging essays, interviews and exercises, curated by Ellen, from a selection of its expert ambassadors and supporters (including authors, artists, scientists, human rights experts, television presenters, TED speakers, and climate activists). Through each contributor, we discover a new perspective on why contact with nature should be a protected human right, journeying through personal narratives on mental health, disability, racism, environmental inequality, creativity, innovation and activism.
This is a captivating and enlightening collection of original writing and ideas that highlights the importance of nature, the threats of nature deprivation, and the work that needs to be done to make our global future happier, healthier and more equal.
Húsz év
"Egy időben lettem politikai szereplő és közíró - MDF-alapító, országgyűlési képviselő és publicista -, minthogy egy cél vezérelt: részt venni a magyar parlamentáris demokrácia megteremtésében. Később a megvédelmezésében. Az előbbi sikeres volt - az utóbbi nem.
Politikai közíróként nem haboztam állást foglalni valami vagy valaki mellett, illetve ellen. Írói függetlenségemet nem a formális középen állásban, hanem az értékrendem szerinti állásfoglalásban kerestem és találtam meg. Nem egyenlő mérési eredményre, hanem egyenlő mérce használatára törekedtem. Aki elolvassa a cikkeimet, láthatja: nem változtam az idők során. A parlamentáris demokrácia - konzervatív liberális - híve voltam és maradtam. Politikusi eszményképem ma is Antall József. Régi barátaimtól jórészt elszakadtam: ők Orbánhoz voltak hűek, én önmagamhoz.
Publicistaként valójában egyidős vagyok a harmadik Magyar Köztársasággal. Az utóbbi története most véget ér - az enyém még nem. Ám történjék bármi: életem tőkesúlyát az a pár esztendő adja, amikor részese lehettem a rendszerváltozásnak. Ami megszülte hazámban a liberális jogállamot és a parlamentáris demokráciát: a Magyar Köztársaságot.
Több mint húsz évig hű voltam mindezekhez - hű maradok hozzájuk a jövőben is." (Debreczeni József)

The Interpreter
The most dangerous person in the courtroom isn't the killer...
Revelle is a court interpreter and knows the power of words. She spends her days translating for other people; murderers, fraudsters and their victims. She speaks their words. Only she knows exactly what they're saying.
When she spots an injustice is about to take place, and a guilty man about to be labelled innocent, she has the power to twist an alibi to get the verdict she wants. The verdict she believes is correct. She's willing to risk it all.
But someone knows what she's done.
And they want justice.
The Matter of Everything
How did a piece of gold foil completely change our understanding of atoms? What part did a hot air balloon play in the discovery of cosmic rays? How do we know all that we know about the world today?
It's not simply because we have the maths – it's because we have done the experiments.
Accelerator physicist Suzie Sheehy introduces us to the creative and curious people who, through a combination of genius, tenacity and luck, staged the groundbreaking experiments of the twentieth century. From the serendipitous discovery of X-rays in a German laboratory, to the scientists trying to prove Einstein wrong (and inadvertently proving him right), The Matter of Everything takes us on a journey through the history of experiments that transformed our world.

A Napkirály és a hölgyek
A világhírű és hazánkban is népszerű, kiváló szépírói adottságokkal megáldott Antonia Fraser ezúttal XIV. Lajosról és a környezetébe tartozó nőkről fest színes és hű portrét. A Napkirály (1638-1715) szerencsés volt a szerelemben, s bámulatosan aktív szerelmi élete csak növelte a világ szemében személyes dicsőségét, amely oly fontos volt számára. Most közelről megismerhetjük azokat, akiknek eddig csak a nevét tudtuk: Marie Mancinit, Louise de La Valliere-t, Montespan márkinét, Madame de Maintenont és Angélique de Fontanges-t - hogy csak a leghíresebbeket említsük. Lajos rendkívül gáláns volt szeretőivel, a szakítás után is törődött velük, bőkezűen elhalmozta őket címekkel, ajándékokkal. Számos törvénytelen gyermekét törvényesítette, magas ranggal látta el, és komoly szerepet juttatott nekik dinasztikus terveiben. Sok szó esik két olyan hölgyről is, a sógornőjéről, Henrietta Annáról, és unokája feleségéről, Savoyai Adélról, akiket nem szerelmi viszony, "csak" mély és gyöngéd emberi kapcsolat fűzött a királyhoz. De feltárulnak előttünk Lajos magánéletének spirituális dimenziói is, mert miközben szabad utat engedett érzékiségének, katolikus uralkodóként, őszintén vallásos emberként megélte a szabadosság valláserkölcsi tilalmának, a nem titkolt egyházi rosszallásnak fájdalmát is.
