Tüskék és rózsák udvara 4: A Court of Frost and Starlight - Fagy és csillagfény udvara
A remény még a legfagyosabb éjszakán is melegséget nyújt.
A téli napforduló egy hét múlva lesz. Még mindig újnak éreztem királynői szerepemet, és csak halvány elképzelésem volt hivatalos teendőimről.
Egy éve. Ti jó istenek! Rhys közel egy éve hajtotta be rajtam az ígéretemet, mert mielőbb ki akart engem szabadítani a mérgező Tavasz udvarából, és ezáltal megmenteni az összeomlástól. Csak a Jó Anya tudja, mi történt volna, és hol lennék most, ha csak egy percet késik.
Eszembe jutott a párom, aki olyan keményen és önzetlenül küzdött, pedig semmi reménye nem volt arra, hogy mi együtt leszünk.
Mindketten megküzdöttünk a szerelmünkért, a vérünket adtuk érte. Rhys meg is halt érte.
A Hybern elleni háború nem múlt el nyomtalanul Feyre, Rhys és barátaik életéből, mégis mindent megtesznek, hogy újjáépítsék az Éjszaka udvarát. A küszöbön álló téli napforduló kiváló alkalmat kínálna arra, hogy végre egy kicsit kikapcsolódjanak. Ám az ünnepi hangulat sem tudja visszatartani a múlt árnyékait. Miközben Feyre az Éjszaka úrnőjeként próbál helytállni, szembesülnie kell vele, hogy barátai sebei mélyebbek, mint hitte, és az udvar jövőjét is tönkretehetik.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we?ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let?s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn?t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is?a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let?s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited?"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future - and the realization that the only person immune to his charms is the only one he truly wants.
***

She may be forced to work with him, but she'll never fall for him . . . no matter how fast he makes her heart beat or how thoughtful he is beneath his party persona.
He's her client, and that's all he'll ever be. Right?
King of Sloth is a steamy reverse grumpy sunshine billionaire romance. It includes explicit content and profanity. Recommended for mature readers only.

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Rivers of Babylon
Knižný debut, román Rivers of Babylon (1991) vzbudil nebývalý čitateľský a kritický záujem. Pišťanek v ňom expresívnym jazykom s využitím rôznych štýlových vrstiev opisuje pre slov. literatúru netradičné prostredie bratislavského podsvetia, ktoré zaľudňujú postavy drobných i väčších podvodníkov a prostitútok. Jedinou ambíciou týchto ľudí je spríjemniť si život, čo v ich chápaní znamená oklamať, využiť či zničiť tých ostatných. V tomto svete sa svojou primitívnou a priamočiarou túžbou po moci a peniazoch čoraz viac presadzuje hlavná postava, dedinčan Rácz. Niekde v pozadí týchto činností, ktoré postavám zapĺňajú celý život, sa odohráva revolučná zmena roku 1989. Inšpiračné zdroje pre tento román nájdeme v tzv. poklesnutých žánroch – aj Pišťanek kladie dôraz najmä na priamočiarosť rozprávania a rýchly spád deja. Namiesto psychologizácie sa prikláňa k extrovertnému typu písania.
Nové vydanie trilógie vychádza s novými obálkami Tomáša Klepocha.

Fashionopolis: The Price of Fast Fashion - and the Future of Clothes
'A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
Fashion has blighted our planet. Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.
