Instant Angol 2.
Az Instant angol három kötete jó hatásfokkal gyakoroltatja azokat a nyelvi pontokat, amelyek a bevésés műveletét igénylik. A szóbeli "drillezés" előnye, hogy csak jó mondatokat, csakis helyes alakokat rögzítünk. A válogatásban a fő szempontunk a kontrasztivitás volt, azaz könyvecskéinkben a leginkább problematikus területeket gyakoroltatjuk. A kötetek elején található Áttekintő táblázatból kikereshetjük valamennyi feladat számát, ha arra vagyunk kíváncsiak, hogy egy-egy jelenséget, szerkezetet hol gyakorolhatunk.

Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, Vol. 1
From trailblazing political activist Angela Y. Davis, a major new collection of essays and interviews that argue for a radical rethinking of our prison systems
An icon of revolutionary politics, Angela Y. Davis has been at the forefront of collective movements for prison abolition for over fifty years. Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, the first of two important new volumes, brings together an essential collection of Davis’s essays, conversations, and interviews over the years, showing how her thinking has sharpened and evolved even as she has remained uncompromising in her commitment to collective liberation.
Davis traces a genealogy of the penal system, from slavery to the prison industrial complex, offering a trenchant analysis of the relationship between the prison system and capitalism, both in the US and on a global scale. Combining decades of analytical brilliance and lessons from organising both inside and beyond prison walls, Davis addresses the history of abolitionist practice, details the unique contributions of women to abolitionist struggles, and offers the radical tools we need for revolutionary change.
Powerful and rewarding, filled with insight and provocation, Abolition: Politics, Practices, Promises, is essential reading for anyone seeking to imagine a world without prisons.

The Physics of Sorrow
In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.
Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, The Physics of Sorrow is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.
TRANSLATED FROM THE BULGARIAN BY ANGELA RODEL

Az évek
Virginia Woolf műve igazi ritkaság: családregény. Három generáció megannyi tagjának életútján követi nyomon a modern angol társadalom kialakulását. Az első nemzedék, a Pargiter család és oldalágai a késő viktoriánus nagypolgárságot képviselik. A regény nagy részét e középnemzedék élete, radikális változásokra, társadalmi felelősségvállalásra törekvése tölti ki. Ez a prousti színekben és ízekben gazdag, szépséges "London-regény" (amelynek esszépárja az ugyanekkor készült Három adomány) Woolf legsikeresebb műve volt a maga idején: sokáig vezette a New York Times bestsellerlistáját, és összesen öt hónapig szerepelt rajta.

Nehéz idők
Dickens utolsó nagy alkotói korszakában, 1854-ben jelentette meg a "Nehéz idők"-et. Részben hagyományos dickensi mű ez: társadalomjobbító harcának eredményes, tényleges változásokat hozó állomásai, a dologház, az adósok börtöne, a jogszolgáltatás, a kíméletlen iskolarendszer leleplezése közül most az ipari forradalom utáni munkássors sivárságának, kilátástalanságának bemutatása került sorra. Annyiban pedig teljesen új, hogy előtte az angol irodalomban senki nem foglalkozott a gyárvárosok szegényeinek világával, a munkáscsaládok tudatlanságával, reménytelenségével, alkoholizmusba menekülésével. A helyszín a képzeletbeli észak-angliai gyárváros, Coketown. Gradgrind, az utilitárius elveket valló iskolaigazgató csakis tényeket óhajt a nebulók fejébe verni, képzeletről, "csodálkozásról" hallani sem akar. Ebben a szellemben neveli két gyermekét is: Louisa leányát, akit a lelketlen gyároshoz, Josiah Bounderbyhoz ad feleségül, és fiát, Tomot, aki Bounderby bankjában kap állást. A két fiatal addig éli szeretetlen, örömtelen életét, míg a haszonelvű gondolkodásmód majdnem minden emberséget kiöl belőlük, s egy jóravaló munkás életét is tönkreteszik. Hajdani iskolatársuk, a vándorcirkusz bohócának lánya, a képzelet, a "csodálkozás" gyermeke, Sissy mutat végül utat nekik, hogy legalább valamit helyrehozhassanak mindabból, amit az előző generáció - tanítók, "reformerek", politikusok - elrontott. A nagy történész, Macaulay helytelenítően "komor szocialista" műnek nevezte a regényt, a kapitalista társadalom korabeli romantikus bírálói, John Ruskin és William Morris viszont lelkesen magasztalták, George Orwell pedig a benne megnyilvánuló "nemes haragot" dicsérte. A könyvből készült 1977-es, John Irvin rendezte angol tévéfilmsorozatban többek között Patrick Allen és Edward Fox alakította a főszerepeket.

The Patriarchs
SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING 2023
A WATERSTONES BOOK OF YEAR FOR POLITICS 2023
‘By thinking about gendered inequality as rooted in something unalterable within us, we fail to see it for what it is: something more fragile that has had to be constantly remade and reasserted.’
In this bold and radical book, award-winning science journalist Angela Saini goes in search of the true roots of gendered oppression, uncovering a complex history of how male domination became embedded in societies and spread across the globe from prehistory into the present.
Travelling to the world’s earliest known human settlements, analysing the latest research findings in science and archaeology, and tracing cultural and political histories from the Americas to Asia, she overturns simplistic universal theories to show that what patriarchy is and how far it goes back really depends on where you are.
Despite the push back against sexism and exploitation in our own time, even revolutionary efforts to bring about equality have often ended in failure and backlash. Saini ends by asking what part we all play – women included – in keeping patriarchal structures alive, and why we need to look beyond the old narratives to understand why it persists in the present.
Elefántcsont birodalom
A Temeraire-sorozat negyedik része Afrikába repíti az olvasót. Laurence kapitány és hűséges sárkánya már éppen a biztonságot jelentő angol partokhoz közelednek, amikor francia sárkányok támadnak rájuk, és hiába oly közel a haza, Temeraire és reptetője felmentő sereg nélkül kénytelen elbánni velük. Mindenezek tetejébe rémes körülmények és mérhetetlen közöny fogadja a küldetésből hazatérőket, így a kapitány igen dühösen indul az Admiralitáshoz jelentést tenni. Ám Edinburgh-ben dermesztő csönd honol, s fény derül a rettenetes magyarázatra is: szinte az összes sárkány halálos beteg. Laurencék tehát ismét útra kelnek, ezúttal Fokváros felé, hogy felleljék a feltételezett gyógyszert, mely egyszer már kigyógyította Temeraire-t ebből a veszedelmes kórból.

Lessons for Living
Profound essays that cut through the messiness of life to help you get the good from the bad—by famed therapist Phil Stutz, the New York Times bestselling co-author of The Tools and subject of the Netflix documentary Stutz.
“Is there another way? Can you live life with its conflicts, uncertainties, and disappointments and somehow feel good about yourself? You can. But it requires a completely new orientation.”
There are issues, and there are issues—love, loss, success, failure, hope, regret, life, death. How can we even begin to think clearly about dilemmas so universally confounding? Phil Stutz has spent his life pondering the big challenges that we all face, and this profound book puts the conclusions he’s reached at your fingertips.
Stutz has been writing these remarkably insightful short essays since the late 1990s, which are collected here for the first time, along with new insights specific to the unique challenges of today. Each one will change the way you think, but taken all together, this book becomes something far more than the sum of its parts: a compendium of human experience and knowledge that will reframe your worldview. There are hard truths here—the acknowledgment that life is full of pain and not a single one of us is special enough to escape it—but we need to understand and accept them in order to realize our full potential.
While The Tools explains the general concepts and five specific practices that Stutz employs in treatment, Lessons for Living addresses real-world circumstances, such as the needs of children, rising above envy, defeating your bad habits, the positive side of anger, and facing insecurities, offering a new way to think about life itself.

Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine
Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.

With his promise to Tena imprinted on his mind, Agni can only enjoy an inauthentic peace coated thickly with lies.

Good Pictures
A picture-rich field guide to American photography, from daguerreotype to digital.
We are all photographers now, with camera phones in hand and social media accounts at the ready. And we know which pictures we like. But what makes a "good picture"? And how could anyone think those old styles were actually good? Soft-focus yearbook photos from the '80s are now hopelessly?and happily?outdated, as are the low-angle portraits fashionable in the 1940s or the blank stares of the 1840s. From portraits to products, landscapes to food pics, Good Pictures proves that the history of photography is a history of changing styles.
In a series of short, engaging essays, Kim Beil uncovers the origins of fifty photographic trends and investigates their original appeal, their decline, and sometimes their reuse by later generations of photographers. Drawing on a wealth of visual material, from vintage how-to manuals to magazine articles for working photographers, this full-color book illustrates the evolution of trends with hundreds of pictures made by amateurs, artists, and commercial photographers alike. Whether for selfies or sepia tones, the rules for good pictures are always shifting, reflecting new ways of thinking about ourselves and our place in the visual world.

Liverpool - Mélyből a csúcsra
Hosszú idő után újra vörösbe borult a világ, miután a Liverpool megnyerte a legrangosabb futballkupát, a Bajnokok Ligáját.
Rögös út vezetett a diadalhoz, az angol klub ugyanis szűk egy évtizeddel korábban szinte romokban hevert, és már alig emlékeztetett egykori önmagára, mely Európa-szerte felülmúlta ellenfeleit.
Az alapoktól kellett felépíteni mindent, hogy az egyesület újra a múltjához méltóan szerepelhessen.
Sikerült, mára a Pool visszanyerte régi fényét, Jürgen Klopp, az edzőzseni ütőképes csapatot hozott létre, melyet olyan klasszisok alkotnak, mint Szalah, Mané, Firmino és Van Dijk.? Ők és a fanatizmusukról híres szurkolóik új sikerkorszakot nyitottak a Vörösök történetében…
