Isaac Asimov 4 book box set
The three laws of Robotics: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.

What Lurks Between the Fates
Once, I'd chosen my mate instead of freedom.
For weeks, we retraced our steps back to Mistfell and the lingering shadow of the Veil at the boundary between realms. Traveling through the kingdom, I denied the evidence in front of me, unable to fathom that I wasn't the lost princess of Faerie. Instead, it is Fallon who must fear the consequences of her heritage. Which leaves me with a single, unanswered question.
Then, I awoke, caged high above the throne of the Queen of Air & Darkness.
Mab is the Queen who keeps all of Alfheimr held squirming within her clawed grasp. She uses the children of Faerie to sustain the magic granted to her by the cursed gem atop her crown, which has carved her from the girl she once was into a dark vessel, obsessed with power. She thrives on cruelty, and wields our love as an instrument for pain.
Now, I'll play the games of the Fae.
I'm a curiosity, my presence an enigma that was never foreseen. I may not be Mab's daughter, yet she still keeps me close, as she forges me into a weapon against humans and Fae alike. Mab may not own me yet, but she controls the life of the man I love. There is nothing I wouldn't do to see him freed.
Even if I have to become the villain to do it.

It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism
A progressive takedown of the uber-capitalist status quo that has enriched millionaires and billionaires at the expense of the working class, and a blueprint for what transformational change would actually look like.
It’s OK to be angry about capitalism. Reflecting on our turbulent times, Senator Bernie Sanders takes on the billionaire class and speaks blunt truths about our country’s failure to address the destructive nature of a system that is fueled by uncontrolled greed and rigidly committed to prioritizing corporate profits over the needs of ordinary Americans.
Sanders argues that unfettered capitalism is to blame for an unprecedented level of income and wealth inequality, is undermining our democracy, and is destroying our planet. How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? How can we accept a political system that allows the super rich to buy elections and politicians? How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Sanders believes that, in the face of these overwhelming challenges, the American people must ask tough questions about the systems that have failed us and demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.
It’s OK to Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision that extends beyond the promises of past campaigns to reveal what would be possible if the political revolution took place, if we would finally recognize that economic rights are human rights, and if we would work to create a society that provides a decent standard of living for all. This isn’t some utopian fantasy; this is democracy as we should know it.

Vér és korom
Ez immár az ötödik könyv a Zsigmond-trilógia és a Zádor-trilógia első könyve után, amelyben Zádor fia Zádor, vagyis most már Zádorffy gróf és fiai kalandjairól olvashatunk. A színhely a Magyar Királyság, amelyet nem elég erős kézzel ural Luxemburgi Zsigmond király. Az uralkodó, aki alig van itthon, idegen városokat járva küzd egy újabb királyi koronáért, sőt a császári címért.
Itthon azonban forrnak az indulatok. A déli liga ismét Nápolyi Lászlót szeretné trónra ültetni. Zsigmond megbízza Zádort, tegyen ez ellen valamit. És Zádor meg is állítja az ellent, de ez egy, a lelkiismeretét próbára tevő tömeggyilkossággal jár, amit az ellenség ártatlanok értelmetlen halálával bosszul meg.
Közben zajlik az élet Budán is, ahová Zádor a fiait küldi. A nádor udvarában cselszövés folyik, amibe Torda és Márk is belekeverednek. A régi harcos barátok hát ismét összegyűlnek, hogy folytassák küzdelmüket az ország és a törvényes rend ellenségeivel. Közben személyes leszámolások, tragikus események is történnek, amelyek az ifjabb nemzedék lelkét is formálják.
Az olvasó a korabeli élet szinte minden oldalát megismerheti a regénysorozatból.A Vér és korom lapjain az események filmszerűen peregnek. Összecsap a szenvedély, a hazaszeretet, a szerelem, a sértett hiúság és a mindent elsöprő bosszúvágy.

Windfall
This romantic story of hope, chance, and change from the author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is one Jenny Han says is filled with all of her "favorite things," Morgan Matson calls “something wonderful” and Stephanie Perkins says “is rich with the intensity of real love.” Alice doesn’t believe in luck—at least, not the good kind. But she does believe in love, and for some time now, she’s been pining for her best friend, Teddy. On his eighteenth birthday—just when it seems they might be on the brink of something—she buys him a lottery ticket on a lark. To their astonishment, he wins $140 million, and in an instant, everything changes. At first, it seems like a dream come true, especially since the two of them are no strangers to misfortune. As a kid, Alice won the worst kind of lottery possible when her parents died just over a year apart from each other. And Teddy’s father abandoned his family not long after that, leaving them to grapple with his gambling debts. Through it all, Teddy and Alice have leaned on each other. But now, as they negotiate the ripple effects of Teddy’s newfound wealth, a gulf opens between them. And soon, the money starts to feel like more of a curse than a windfall. As they try to find their way back to each other, Alice learns more about herself than she ever could have imagined . . . and about the unexpected ways in which luck and love sometimes intersect. Praise for Windfall: Featured in Seventeen Magazine's "What's Hot Now" “Windfall is about all of my favorite things—a girl’s first big love, her first big loss, and—her first big luck.” —Jenny Han, New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before “Windfall is perfectly named; reading it, I felt like I had suddenly found something wonderful.

Make Me
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, AND SUSPENSE MAGAZINE • Stephen King calls Jack Reacher “the coolest continuing series character”—and now he’s back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child. “Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal. Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine. Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me. Praise for Make Me “Child’s Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee. Everything about it, starting with Reacher’s nose for bad news, is as strong as ever. . . . The big guy’s definitely on the upswing. The guy who writes about him is too.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Another winner . . . There’s a reason why Child is considered the best of the best in the thriller genre: He can take all these strange elements and clichés and make them compelling and original.”—Associated Press “A superb thriller.”—New York Daily News “Child’s complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “I’ve read all twenty of Lee Child’s novels. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. But I can’t wait for the twenty-first.”—Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker “[The Reacher series] is the current gold standard in the genre. . . . In Make Me Lee Child delivers another Jack Reacher specialty; the total knockout.”—Dayton Daily News “Child serves up wingding plots, pithy dialogue, extraordinary background on intriguing topics, and cunningly constructed suspense. But what keeps us coming back—by the millions—is the chance to walk around in the skin of that big guy in the middle of everything.”—The Oregonian “A dark thriller . . . Lee Child’s Make Me, the twentieth in his wildly popular Jack Reacher series, delivers exactly what readers have come to expect from the perennial bestselling author: interesting characters, tight plots and page-turning action. . . . Readers won’t be disappointed.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “Jack Reacher is back. . . . Readers new to this series will find this book a good starting point, and fans will be pleased to see Jack again.”—LibraryReads (Top Ten Pick) “The reigning champ ups the ante.”—Booklist (starred review) From the Hardcover edition.

Emberek a kövek között
Ahogy e regényébol és ekkoriban írt novelláiból is kitunik, a fiatal Tormayt a dél, a mediterrán varázsa ragadta magával, de míg korábbi novellái csupán a görög és az olasz föld mesés idilljeit villantják fel, itt már a lélek mélységeibe is behatol. A kirobbanó sikeru regény szinte azonnal német, angol és francia nyelven is napvilágot látott, s Tormayt egyszerre a kortárs világirodalom megbecsült tagjává avatta.
"Fellépése körülbelül egybeesett a Nyugat nagy nemzedékének fellépésével. Elso novelláskötete már 1900-ban megjelent, de elso sikerét csak 1911-ben érte el az Emberek a kövek közt c. regénnyel és az a muve, amelynek népszeruségét köszönhette, a Régi ház, 1915-ben jelent meg. A Nyugat-nemzedékkel nemcsak annyiban volt rokon, amennyire egy nemzedék tagjai elkerülhetetlenül rokonok szoktak lenni, ha tehetségesek: nyugatos volt a szó alapveto, a Nyugat-mozgalomtól független értelmében is, a nyugati irodalmak rajongója és követoje volt, és «nyugatos» volt muvészi szándékának mélyén is, a muvészetrol alkotott viziójában. Artisztikus író volt, a finom, lelkiismeretesen kidolgozott részletek, a tuno és csendes hangulatok, az önmagukért megbecsült ritka szavak és hasonlatok írója, dekoratív tehetség és a szó nemes értelmében dekadens.
Öncélú mondatokat írt, amelyek arra voltak rendelve, hogy ötvözött formásságukban a kontextusból kiszakítva is megállják a helyüket és megállítsák, elmerengésre hívják az olvasót, felkeltve benne a szépség szomorúságát és a távoli dolgok igézetét. Annak a stílusnak és stílusteremto életérzésnek volt a hordozója, amely legmagasabb szintjét Babits Mihály fiatalkori verseiben és Kosztolányi Dezso és Tóth Árpád költészetében érte el....
A világháború után az irodalmat elhagyta a politika kedvéért. A leheletszeru finomságok írónoje meglepoen aktív és energikus közéleti embernek bizonyult. Olyan aktívnak és energikusnak, hogy sokan el is fordultak Tormay Ceciletol, az írótól. Ekkor alapította a Napkelet címu folyóiratot, és ennek szellemi irányítója maradt haláláig. Mint szerkeszto, sokoldalúan megérto volt, munkatársait hatalmas közéleti befolyásával is jótékonyan támogatta." - Szerb Antal
