Little Bird of Auschwitz
'That nickname . . .'
'"Little bird." It wasn't mine. I found out later he gave it to every little girl that came in to be injected.
"Little Bird" didn't mean anything. It was a trick. There were thousands of "little birds", just like me, all thinking they were the only one.'
As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has spent his life investigating important stories. But there was one story, heard in scattered fragments throughout his childhood, that he never thought to investigate. The story of how his mother survived Auschwitz.
In the few last months of the Second World War, thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz. Her experiences there cast a shadow over the rest of her life.
Now ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with dementia. Together, mother and son begin a race against time to record her memories and preserve her family's story. Along the way, Jacques learns long-hidden secrets about his mother's family. He gains an understanding of his mother through retracing her past, learning more about the woman who would never let him call her 'Mum'.

Lacná kniha Queen Camilla (-70%)
For the past thirteen years, as England became an increasingly unhappy and fearful place, Prince Charles has been living quietly on a bleak council estate, The Flower Exclusion Zone (known locally as 'The Fez), with his wife and love of his life, Camilla. He enjoys gardening and poultry keeping while Camilla spends her days doing as little as possible, alongside their fellow ASBO-subjected neighbours. But life is about to change...Charles refuses to follow his destiny unless his wife can be Queen - and public opinion suggests the people would rather have Jordan than Camilla on the throne. But no sooner has Prince William offered himself as the next monarch, than one Graham Cracknall of Ruislip emerges - claiming to be Charles and Camilla's secret love child, and therefore the rightful heir to the crown. When the battle for the Crown begins the dogs on the Fez begin a struggle of their own - one that sweeps across the dog population of England. As Harris, the Queen's irascible corgi says, 'we've been domesticated for too long, it's time we showed our bleeding teeth.' Will sanity prevail over the right royal cock up that England has become? Or will chaos reign supreme? "Queen Camilla" shows Sue Townsend at her very best - sharp, satirical and utterly hilarious from the first page to the last.

The Articles of Confederation
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, commonly referred to as the Articles of Confederation, was the first constitution of the thirteen United States of America. The Second Continental Congress appointed a committee to draft the 'Articles' in June 1776 and proposed the draft to the States for ratification in November 1777. The ratification process was completed in March 1781, legally federating the sovereign and independent states, allied under the Articles of Association, into a new federation styled the "United States of America". Under the Articles the states retained sovereignty over all governmental functions not specifically relinquished to the central government.

Barátnőm, Bori - Bori az állatkertben
Bori osztálya kirándulni ment a közeli város állatkertjébe, ahol rengeteg különleges állat él. Egy biológus vezette őket körbe, így sok érdekes dolgot láthattak és tapasztalhattak meg: miről ismeri fel a kis zebra a zebramamát? Hogyan kell etetni a szurikátákat? A majmok tényleg csak banánt esznek? Séta közben hirtelen egy kis macskamedve-bocs kiszabadult a ketrecéből, a gyerekeknek kellett segíteni befogni.
Velünk véget ér
Néha az okozza a legtöbb fájdalmat, aki szeret.
Lilynek nem ment mindig könnyen a sora, de annál keményebben dolgozott, hogy olyan életet élhessen, amilyenre vágyik. Elhagyta a Maine állambeli kisvárost, ahol felnőtt; egyetemet végzett, és Bostonba költözött, ahol saját vállalkozásba kezdett. Amikor szikrázni kezd a levegő közte és a jóképű idegsebész, Ryle Kincaid között, Lily életében hirtelen minden túl szép lesz ahhoz, hogy igaz legyen.
Ryle magabiztos, makacs, kicsit talán arrogáns is, de emellett érzékeny, okos, és Lily a gyengéje - bár a kapcsolatoktól való viszolygása aggodalomra ad okot.
Lilyt mégsem csak az új kapcsolata foglalkoztatja. Rengeteget gondol Atlas Corriganre is - az első szerelmére, aki a hátrahagyott múltjához köti. A fiú, aki lelki társa és védelmezője volt, most újra feltűnik a színen, veszélyeztetve ezzel mindent, amit Lily és Ryle együtt felépített.
Ebben a merész és mélyen személyes regényben Colleen Hoover szívszorongató történetet tár elénk, ami új, izgalmas utakra vezeti őt magát mint írót is. A Velünk véget ér felejthetetlen mese a szerelemről, amiért nagy árat kell fizetni.
Add át magad a reménynek!

The Sky Over Rebecca
There was a single trail of footprints, the first I'd seen all morning. They were fresh tracks, I saw, the edges of the impressions in the snow quite hard. Small feet. Like mine. Someone my age.
Then they stopped.
When mysterious footprints appear in the Stockholm snow, ten-year-old Kara must discover where they've come from - and who they belong to. They lead Kara to Rebecca, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl, and her younger brother Samuel. Kara realises they are refugees - from another time, World War Two - and are trying to find their way home.
The grief and loneliness that Rebecca and Samuel have endured is something Kara can relate to - feeling like you're always on the outside looking in - and she finds herself compelled to help them. Through her eyes, we rediscover the magic that lies in the world around us, if only we have the courage to look for it.
Kara is a heroine for modern times: fragile but fierce, in this utterly compelling story from a stellar new voice in children's literature, Matthew Fox
It Starts With Us - Velünk kezdődik - puha kötés (It Ends With Us 2.)
Mielőtt véget ért, Atlasszal kezdődött el.
Lily és a volt férje, Ryle éppen csak beleszokik a közös gyerekfelügyelet ritmusába, amikor Lily hirtelen újra összefut első szerelmével, Atlasszal. A csaknem két külön töltött év után Lily fellelkesül, hogy az idő most az egyszer az ő javukra játszik, és azonnal igent mond, amikor Atlas randevúra hívja.
Ám lelkesedését csírájában fojtja el a gondolat, hogy noha többé nem házasok, Ryle azért nagyon is része az életének, és gyűlölni fogja Atlas Corrigant, amiért jelen van a volt felesége és a kislánya életében.
A Velünk kezdődik ott veszi fel a fonalat, ahol a "lebilincselő, lüktető" bestseller, a Velünk véget ér elejtette azt. Egyre több részletre derül fény Atlas múltjából, és követhetjük a volt férjével hadakozó, közben pedig ismét az igaz szerelem lehetőségébe kapaszkodó Lilyt, mindezt olyan romantikával átitatva, amire csak Colleen Hoover képes.
Az év legjobban várt folytatása!
Hagyd, hogy elrabolja a szívedet!

Bold Ventures
A spellbinding new talent explores the dark side of creativity through the stories of thirteen tragic architects
'Bold Ventures resembles a pop version of Iain Sinclair's psychogeography or Out of Sheer Rage, Geoff Dyer's anti-biography of DH Lawrence' Olivia Laing, Guardian
In thirteen chapters, Belgian poet Charlotte Van den Broeck goes in search of buildings that were fatal for their architects - architects who either killed themselves or are rumoured to have done so. They range across time and space from a church with a twisted spire built in seventeenth-century France to a theatre that collapsed mid-performance in 1920s Washington, DC., and an eerily sinking swimming pool in her hometown of Turnhout.
Drawing on a vast range of material, from Hegel and Charles Darwin to art history, stories from her own life and popular culture, patterns gradually come into focus, as Van den Broeck asks: what is that strange life-or-death connection between a creation and its creator?
Threaded through each story, and in prose of great essayistic subtlety, Van den Broeck meditates on the question of suicide - what Albert Camus called the 'one truly serious philosophical problem' - in relation to creativity and public disgrace. The result is a profoundly idiosyncratic book, breaking new ground in literary non-fiction, as well as providing solace and consolation - and a note of caution - to anyone who has ever risked their hand at a creative act.
In the Shadow of Queens

Over the years of his reign, six different women took their place beside King Henry VIII of England as his wife and queen.

Collected together for the first time, In the Shadow of Queens reveals thirteen startling stories from the Tudor court, told by those at the very heart of that world.
ALISON WEIR.
Groundbreaking truth. Breathtaking fiction.
