In the Lives of Puppets
From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
New for paperback! This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world.
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller*
*Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
Talking with Psychopaths and Savages: Guilty but Insane
The plea of insanity in criminal cases can be traced back at least to the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi, which dates from 1755-1759 BC. It is a complicated defence, and its origins in modern law lie with the 'M'Naghten Rules' of 1843, formulated by British judges as a jury instruction in cases where a plea of insanity had been entered. Daniel M'Naghten shot and killed one Edward Drummond, believing him to be the British Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, and was acquitted on the grounds of insanity, and the M'Naghten Rules still exert considerable influence over defences today.
Clearly a plea of insanity in murder cases is of critical importance when the death penalty is still applied, and even today it may still be the difference between a life sentence in a high-security prison, or an indeterminate one in a secure psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, 27 of the USA's 50 states have retained or readopted the death penalty, and at least 54 other countries, including China, Russia, India, Iran and Saudi Arabia, also retain it.
Naturally, a criminal who was liable to swing for murder could, and sometimes did, make every attempt to appear insane, and this book examines some of these cases, as well as trials in which the accused was indeed judged to be insane. The failure rate is high; of seven American serial killers who deployed the defence in their trials, only two were successful, ending their days in secure psychiatric facilities; two were executed, and the other three either died or were killed while serving full-life sentences, or are still in gaol.
A hennaművész
A tizenhét éves Lakshmi mindent hátrahagy, hogy elmeneküljön poros falujából és bántalmazó házasságából. Néhány kitérő után az 1950-es évek pezsgő életű, rózsaszín városába, Dzsaipurba kerül, ahol hennaművészként fokozatosan elnyeri a város leggazdagabb asszonyainak bizalmát. Ám míg a magas kasztbeli vendégei rábízzák legféltettebb titkaikat, a különleges motívumai és bölcs tanácsai miatt egyre népszerűbb hennafestő féltve őrzi a sajátját. Egy nap azonban olyasmi történik, ami veszélybe sodorhat mindent, amiért Lakshmi több mint tíz éven át olyan keményen dolgozott: felbukkan a férje és vele Radha, Lakshmi tizenhárom éves húga, akinek a létezéséről mindaddig nem is tudott. Ráadásul Lakshmi hamarosan olyan megbízást kap a királyi családtól, amely a felemelkedéséhez, de akár a bukásához is vezethet… A hennaművész a brit uralom alól épp felszabadult India egyszerre buja és lenyűgöző, ugyanakkor kemény és kíméletlen világába vezet. Hiteles és izgalmas képet fest egy nő önmegvalósítási küzdelméről a több ezer éves tradíciók és a modern világ között egyensúlyozó társadalomban.

Negatives
A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.
While the term emo has become a familiar label, there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late '90s would never have classified themselves as such. With the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into something new. Today, the musical and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo label has been reclaimed by those who can’t imagine life without it.
Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly put together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo. With a foreword by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and revealing essays from Frank Iero, Geoff Rickly, Norman Brannon, Matt Pryor, Jesse Johnson, Andrew McMahon, and Bob Nanna, as well as insights and bite-sized narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music history—a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring more than eighty bands, including:
- Jimmy Eat World
- Dashboard Confessional
- My Chemical Romance
- Texas Is the Reason
- Taking Back Sunday
- The Get Up Kids
- Thursday
- Fall Out Boy
- American Football
- Jawbreaker
From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and holes-in-the-wall, during long overnight drives through the middle of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels, Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
A UNIQUE LOVE LETTER FROM EXPERT AUTHOR: The first of its kind, Negatives is not a critic's take—rather a touching and heartfelt time capsule and photographic archive of the scene as told by those who lived it.
RARE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATERIAL: Founder of Fiddler Records Amy Fleisher Madden compiles hundreds of high-quality photos of more than eighty bands, as well as essays and bite-sized narratives from photographers and key musicians of the era.
STAR CONTRIBUTORS: Foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with essays by Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Jesse Johnson (Motion City Soundtrack), Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes), and Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate).
A MUSIC GIFT FOR EVERY EMO FAN: Focusing on the second and third waves (1996–2006), Negatives includes hundreds of high-quality images of bands including Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Texas Is the Reason, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, Thursday, The Promise Ring, American Football, Saosin, and more.
Perfect for:
- Emo fans of all kinds and all waves
- Fans of second-wave bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, third-wave bands like My Chemical Romance, and indie emo bands like Death Cab for Cutie
- Music history fans
- Musicians and aspiring musicians
- Photography enthusiasts
- Music lover's gift idea for birthday, graduation, holiday, or any special occasion
A tíz herceg története
A tíz herceg története a klasszikus szanszkrit regényirodalom legkitűnőbb darabja. Főszereplői Rádzsaváhana, egy trónfosztott király fia, és előkelő barátai, akik a sors szeszélyéből egy időre elszakadnak egymástól, majd egy sor változatos kaland után egymásra találnak, és beszámolnak élményeikről. Az egyes történetek a kora középkori India sokszínű valóságába repítenek bennünket, sőt azon túlra, abba a világba, amelyet a kiváló író, Dandin mesés fantáziája teremtett. A VII. század végén - VIII . század elején élt író, a déli indiai Kánycsipuram szülötte. Szórakoztató, szellemes regénye a korabeli indiai irodalmi ínyenceket is lenyűgözte, és később méltán aratott sikert fordításokban is.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride
Do not look. Do not ask. Do not pry.
A sumptuous, gothic story about an obsessive female friendship cursed to end in tragedy, a marriage unraveled by dark secrets, and the danger of believing in fairy tales - the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi.
Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Castenada. He was a scholar of myths. She was heiress to a fortune. They exchanged gifts and stories and believed they would live happily ever after - and in exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past.
But when Indigo learns that her estranged aunt is dying and the couple is forced to return to her childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom soon finds himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor's extravagant rooms and musty halls, there lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo's dearest childhood friend, who disappeared without a trace.
As the house slowly reveals his wife's secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives.
Combining the lush, haunting atmosphere of Mexican Gothic with the dreamy enchantment of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride is a spellbinding and darkly romantic page-turner about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
Waiting to Be Arrested at Night
A poet's account of one of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises, and a harrowing tale of a family's escape from genocide
One by one, Tahir Hamut Izgil's friends disappeared. The Chinese government's brutal persecution of the Uyghur people had continued for years, but in 2017 it assumed a terrifying new scale. The Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim minority group in western China, were experiencing an echo of the worst horrors of the twentieth century, amplified by China's establishment of an all-seeing high-tech surveillance state. Over a million people have vanished into China's internment camps for Muslim minorities.
Tahir, a prominent poet and intellectual, had been no stranger to persecution. After he attempted to travel abroad in 1996, police tortured him until he confessed to fabricated charges and sent him to a re-education through labour camp. But even having endured three years in the camp, he could never have predicted the Chinese government's radical solution to the Uyghur question two decades later. When he noticed that the park near his home was nearly empty because so many neighbours had been arrested, he knew the police would be coming for him any day. It soon became clear to Tahir and his wife that fleeing the country was the family's only hope.
Waiting to Be Arrested at Night is the story of the political, social, and cultural destruction of Tahir Hamut Izgil's homeland. Among leading Uyghur intellectuals and writers, he is the only one known to have escaped China since the mass internments began. His book is a call for the world to awaken to the unfolding catastrophe, and a tribute to his friends and fellow Uyghurs whose voices have been silenced.

Anita Blake 4 - Kavárna šílenců - 2.vydání
nita je oživovatelka mrtvých, a i když občas vypomáhá policii při vyšetřování nadpřirozených zločinů, není žádné soukromé očko.

Je na Anitě, aby rozmotala spleť indicií a nenechala se vtáhnout příliš hluboko do podivného světa lykantropích smeček – nebo aby si aspoň zachránila holý život.

The Last Days of the Ottoman Empire
The Ottoman Empire had been one of the major facts in European history since the Middle Ages. Stretching from the Adriatic to the Indian Ocean, the Empire was both a great political entity and a religious one, with the Sultan ruling over the Holy Sites and, as Caliph, the successor to Mohammed.
Yet the Empire's fateful decision to support Germany and Austria-Hungary in 1914 doomed it to disaster, breaking it up into a series of European colonies and what emerged as an independent Saudi Arabia.
Ryan Gingeras's superb new book explains how these epochal events came about and shows how much we still live in the shadow of decisions taken so long ago. Would all of the Empire fall to marauding Allied armies, or could something be saved? In such an ethnically and religiously entangled region, what would be the price paid to create a cohesive and independent new state? The story of the creation of modern Turkey is an extraordinary, bitter epic, brilliantly told here.

Z koho jsme vznikli?
Vše začalo jednoduchou otázkou: proč se díváme jeden druhému do očí? Mě jako oftalmologa tato otázka zaujala. Započali jsme výzkum... Pak jsme se dozvěděli, že každý tibetský chrám v Nepálu má na svých zdech jako vizitku zobrazení ohromných, neobyčejných očí. Podrobili jsme obraz těchto očí matematickému zpracování podle principu oftalmogeometrie a podařilo se nám určit vzhled jejich nositele, který byl zcela neobvyklý. Kdo je to? Přemýšlel jsem. V té době jsem nemohl předpokládat, že takto vzniklý portrét neobyčejného člověka, který budu držet v rukou v Indii, Nepálu a Tibetu, udělá na lámy a swámí takový ohromný dojem, že při pohledu na obrázek budou vykřikovat: „To je On!". Tehdy mě ani nenapadlo, že se tento obrázek stane klíčem k hypotetickému odhalení největšího tajemství Genofondu lidstva. Čím pomohl výše uvedený obrázek? Tím, že Zvláštní lidé viděli a vidí pod zemí lidi s neobvyklým vzhledem. A mezi nimi je takový, který je podobný člověku, zobrazeném na našem obrázku. Právě jeho uctivě nazývají „On". Kdo je to On? Nemohu přesně odpovědět, ale myslím si, že On je člověk Šambaly. Nyní nehledě na to, že jsem racionálním vědcem praktikem, jsem začal zcela věřit v existenci Genofondu lidstva. Dovedla mě k tomu logika a vědecká fakta. Kdo jsme? Jsme ještě nerozumné děti v porovnání s civilizací Lemuřanů, s nejvyšší civilizací na Zemi, která vytvořila Genofond lidstva. V sázce je příliš mnoho - být prarodičem lidstva v případě globální katastrofy nebo sebezničení existující civilizace na Zemi.

The Art of Libromancy: On Selling Books and Reading Books in the Twenty-first Century
ONE OF LIT HUB'S MOST ANTICIPATED BOOKS OF 2023 • ESQUIRE's August 2023 Book Club Pick
"If books are important to you because you're a reader or a writer, then how books are sold should be important to you as well. If it matters to you that your vegetables are organic, your clothes made without child labor, your beer brewed without a culture of misogyny, then it should matter how books are made and sold to you."
With Amazon’s growing power in both bookselling and publishing, considering where and how we get our books is more important now than ever. The simple act of putting a book in a reader’s hands—what booksellers call handselling—becomes a catalyst for an exploration of the moral, financial, and political pressures all indie bookstores face. From the relationship between bookselling and white supremacy, to censorship and the spread of misinformation, to the consolidation of the publishing industry, veteran bookseller and writer Josh Cook turns a generous yet critical eye to an industry at the heart of American culture, sharing tips and techniques for becoming a better reader and, of course, recommending great books along the way.
