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.

Gay Bar: Why We Went Out
As gay bars continue to close at an alarming rate, a writer looks back to find out what’s being lost in this intimate, stylish, and indispensible celebration of queer history.
Strobing lights and dark rooms; throbbing house and drag queens on counters; first kisses, last the gay bar has long been a place of solidarity and sexual expression—whatever your scene, whoever you’re seeking. But in urban centers around the world, they are closing, a cultural demolition that has Jeremy Atherton Lin What was the gay bar? How have they shaped him? And could this spell the end of gay identity as we know it?
In Gay Bar, the author embarks upon a transatlantic tour of the hangouts that marked his life, with each club, pub, and dive revealing itself to be a palimpsest of queer history. In prose as exuberant as a hit of poppers and dazzling as a disco ball, he time-travels from Hollywood nights in the 1970s to a warren of cruising tunnels built beneath London in the 1770s; from chichi bars in the aftermath of AIDS to today’s fluid queer spaces; through glory holes, into Crisco-slicked dungeons and down San Francisco alleys. He charts police raids and riots, posing and passing out—and a chance encounter one restless night that would change his life forever.
The journey that emerges is a stylish and nuanced inquiry into the connection between place and identity—a tale of liberation, but one that invites us to go beyond the simplified Stonewall mythology and enter lesser-known battlefields in the struggle to carve out a territory. Elegiac, randy, and sparkling with wry wit, Gay Bar is at once a serious critical inquiry, a love story and an epic night out to remember.

For generations, every Frankenstein has found their true love and equal, unlocking lifetimes of blissful wedded adventure. Clever, pretty (and odd) Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors and fears she may become the exception to this family rule. When assisting in her brother Victor's ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realizes that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. For the first time, Angelika embarks upon a project that is all her own.
When her handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Her resurrected beau (named Will for the moment) has total amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity. Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins the investigation into his past, hoping it will bring them closer. But when a second suitor emerges to aid their quest, Angelika wonders if she was too hasty inventing a solution. Perhaps fate is not something that can be influenced in a laboratory? Or is Will (or whatever his name is!) her dream man, tailored for her in every way? And can he survive what was done to him in the name of science, and love?
Filled with carriages, candlesticks, and corpses, Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is the spooky-season romcom that reminds us to never judge a man by his cadaver!

Every Man for Himself and God Against All
Legendary filmmaker and celebrated author Werner Herzog tells in his inimitable voice the story of his epic artistic career in a long-awaited memoir that is as inventive and daring as anything he has done before.
Werner Herzog was born in September 1942 in Munich, Germany, at a turning point in the Second World War. Soon Germany would be defeated and a new world would have to be made out the rubble and horrors of the war. Fleeing the Allied bombing raids, Herzog’s mother took him and his older brother to a remote, rustic part of Bavaria where he would spend much of his childhood hungry, without running water, in deep poverty. It was there, as the new postwar order was emerging, that one of the most visionary filmmakers of the next seven decades was formed.
Until age 11, Herzog did not even know of the existence of cinema. His interest in films began at age 15, but since no one was willing to finance them, he worked the night shift as a welder in a steel factory. He started to travel on foot. He made his first phone call at age 17, and his first film in 1961 at age 19. The wildly productive working life that followed—spanning the seven continents and encompassing both documentary and fiction—was an adventure as grand and otherworldly as any depicted in his many classic films.
Every Man for Himself and God Against All is at once a personal record of one of the great and self-invented lives of our time, and a singular literary masterpiece that will enthrall fans old and new alike. 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.
