Firefly Lane - Szentjánosbogár lányok
Nagyhatású új könyv szeretetről és veszteségről, és a barátság csodájáról…
1974 nyarára Kate Mularkey már belenyugodott, hogy a nyolcadikos évfolyam társadalmában az ő helye a tápláléklánc legalján van. Aztán legnagyobb ámulatára, a szemközti házba beköltözik a „világ legmenőbb csaja”, és vele akar barátkozni. Úgy tűnik, Tully Hartnak megvan mindene: szép, okos, ambiciózus. Látszólag nem is különbözhetnének jobban. Kate-nek reménye sincs, hogy szerető családjával, akik lépten-nyomon szégyent hoznak rá, valaha is a menők közé tartozzon. Tully viszont csupa titok és csillogás, ám belülről titok emészti. Ők ketten megfogadják, hogy barátok lesznek mindörökre, és a nyár végére „TullyésKate”-té, elválaszthatatlan barátnőkké forrnak össze.
Így indul Kristin Hannah nagyszerű új regénye. A több mint három évtizeden átívelő, a Csendes-óceán északnyugati partvidékén játszódó Szentjánosbogár lányok két nő megrendítő, nagy hatású története, és egy olyan barátságé, amely életük meghatározó eleme lesz.
Tully a kezdetektől fogva kétségbeesetten igyekszik bebizonyítani a világnak, hogy ér valamit. Mivel anyja kicsi korában elhagyta, feltétel nélküli szeretetre vágyik. Vakon követi becsvágyát New Yorkba, majd a világ körül, s hírnévre és sikerre tesz szert… magányosan.
Kate valójában nem akar mást, csak szerelmet és családot, teljesen hétköznapi életet. A maga csendes módján Kate ugyanolyan elszánt, mint Tully. Azt azonban nem tudja, hogy a házasság és az anyaság mennyire megváltoztatja majd. Hogy mennyire szem elől téveszti, ki volt azelőtt, és mit akart. És hogy mennyire irigyli majd híressé vált legjobb barátnőjét…
Tully és Kate harminc éven át támogatják egymást jóban és rosszban, túlélve a barátság viharait is: féltékenységet, haragot, megbántottságot, neheztelést. Azt hiszik, már semmi nem árthat nekik, amikor egyetlen árulás elszakítja őket egymástól… és végső próbának veti alá a bátorságukat és a barátságukat.
A Szentjánosbogár közt ajánljuk mindenkinek, aki valaha is ivott Boone’s Farm almabort, miközben az ABBÁ-t vagy a Fleetwood Mac-et hallgatta. Ez a mű több, mint két lány felnőtté válásának a regénye. Ez annak a női generációnak a története, akiknek megadatott a választások áldása és átka. Ígéretekről szól, titkokról és árulásokról. És végül arról az egyetlen emberről, aki valóban, igazán ismer minket – és tudja, mivel tud leginkább megsebezni… és meggyógyítani. A Szentjánosbogár lányok olyan történet, amelyet nem fog elfelejteni az olvasó… és amelyet tovább akar majd adni a legjobb barátnőjének.

Égig érő történet
„Az ember nem az a csúcsfaj, aminek képzeli magát. Más élőlények mondják meg, merre hány centi, azok csinálják a levegőt és eszik a napfényt. Nélkülük nincs semmi.” A légierő rakodásvezetőjének gépét lelövik a vietnámi háborúban. A katona életét az menti meg, hogy egy fafojtó fügefára zuhan. Egy festőművész százévnyi fotóportrét örököl, mindegyik kép ugyanarról a pusztulásra ítélt gesztenyefáról készült. Egy keményen bulizó egyetemista lány hozzáér a villanyvezetékhez, bele is hal az áramütésbe, hogy azután légi és fénylények lökjék vissza az életbe. Egy hallássérült tudós fölfedezi, hogy a fák kommunikálnak egymással. Ők négyen és további öt idegen végső, erőszakos együttlétre jönnek össze, hogy megmentsék az amerikai földrész utolsó, néhány hektárnyi érintetlen erdejét. Richard Powers regénye szenvedélyesen és elsöprő erővel mutatja be a környezetvédő aktivisták elszántságát. Az Égig érő történet koncentrikus gyűrűkben bontja ki az egymásba fonódó mítoszokat a polgárháború előtti New Yorktól a csendes-óceáni partvidék 20. század végi fakitermelési válságáig és azon is túl. Meggyőző erővel ábrázolja, hogy az emberi mellett létezik egy másik világ – hatalmas, lassú, minden részével egymásba kapcsolódó, leleményes –, de az számunkra szinte láthatatlan. Az Égig érő történet azoknak szól, akiket elkeserít, hogy az ember önző módon pusztítja a természetet, s akik bíznak abban, hogy ez a folyamat még megállítható. Richard Powers írói munkásságát kritikusai Jonathan Franzenéhez, Dave Eggerséhez vagy Don DeLillóéhoz hasonlítják. Az Égig érő történet, a tizenkettedik regénye 2019-ben elnyerte az irodalmi Pulitzer-díjat.

The Unexpected Visitor
A stunningly beautiful and warm-hearted picture book all about the friendship between a fisherman and whale. There was once a little fisherman. Every morning he would take his boat out into the wide sea . . . And wait, and wait. When the little fisherman gets an unexpected (and very large) visitor one day, they instantly become friends. They have a lot of fun exploring each other's homes, but where have all the fishes gone? This picture book is the perfect way to introduce the notion of sharing, sustainability and taking care of the creatures in our oceans with young children ages 3 years and up. Both boys and girls will love this timeless picture book, similar to Benji Davies' The Storm Whale, with exquisite and serene artwork from new talent Jessica Courtney-Tickle. Jessica Courtney-Tickle graduated from Kingston University in July 2014 where she studied Illustration and animation and found a specialism in children's picture books. She loves working with colour, texture and lots and lots of characters.

On the Move
When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: 'Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far'. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going. From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks's earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels - sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.

More From Less
'Everyone knows we're doomed by runaway overpopulation, pollution, or resource depletion, whichever comes first. Not only is this view paralysing and fatalistic, but, as Andrew McAfee shows in this exhilarating book, it's wrong... More from Less is fascinating, enjoyable to read, and tremendously empowering' Steven Pinker
Bestselling author and co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy Andrew McAfee says there's a new reason for optimism: we're past the point of 'peak stuff' - from here on out, it'll take fewer resources to make things, and cost less to lead a comfortable life.
This turn of events invalidates the predictions of overpopulation alarmists and those who argue we need to drastically reduce our conception of how much is enough. What has made this turnabout possible? One thing primarily: the collaboration between technology and capitalism.
Capitalism's quest for higher profits is a quest for lower costs; materials and resources are expensive, and technological progress allows companies to use fewer of them even as they grow their markets. Modern smartphones take the place of cameras, GPS units, landline telephones, answering machines, tape recorders and alarm clocks. Precision agriculture lets farmers harvest larger crops while using less water and fertiliser. Passenger cars get lighter, which makes them cheaper to produce and more fuel-efficient. This means that, even though there'll be more people in the future, and they'll be wealthier and consume more, they'll do so while using fewer natural resources. For the first time ever, and for all time to come, humans will live more prosperous lives while treading more lightly on the Earth.
The future is not all bright, cautions McAfee. He warns of issues that still haven't been fully solved. (For example, our oceans are still vulnerable to overfishing; global warming is still running largely unchecked; and even as 'dematerialisation' - the reduced need for raw materials - improves our global situation, power and resources are getting more concentrated. That creates an even larger division between the haves and the have nots.)
More From Less is a revelatory, paradigm-shifting account of how we've stumbled into an unexpected balance with nature, and the possibility that our most abundant centuries are ahead of us.

Windhaven
Among the scattered islands that make up the water world of Windhaven, no one holds more prestige than the silver-winged flyers, romantic figures who cross treacherous oceans, braving shifting winds and sudden storms, to bring news, gossip, songs and stories to a waiting populace. Maris of Amberly, a fisherman's daughter, wants nothing more than to soar on the currents high above Windhaven. So she challenges tradition, demanding that flyers be chosen by merit rather than inheritance. But even after winning that bitter battle, Maris finds that her troubles are only beginning. Now a revolution threatens to destroy the world she fought so hard to join - and force her to make the ultimate sacrifice...This early collaborative novel from George R
. R. Martin and Lisa Tuttle is a masterclass of fantasy and storytelling.

We Are the Nerds
Reddit hails itself as 'the front page of the Internet'. It's the sixth most-visited website in the world -- and yet, millions have no idea what it is. They should be paying attention.
We Are the Nerds takes readers inside this captivating, maddening enterprise, whose army of obsessed users have been credited with everything from solving crimes and spurring millions in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and even landing Donald Trump in the White House. Reddit has become a mirror of the Internet itself: It has dark trenches, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a heart-warming ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
This is the gripping story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, transformed themselves from student video-gamers into Silicon Valley millionaires as they turned their creation into an icon of the digital age. But the journey was often fraught. Reporting on Reddit for more than six years, conducting hundreds of interviews and gaining exclusive access to its founders, Christine Lagorio-Chafkin has written the definitive account of the birth and life of Reddit. Packed with revelatory details about its biggest triumphs and controversies, this inside look at Reddit includes fresh insights on the relationship between Huffman and Ohanian, staff turmoil, the tragic life of Aaron Swartz, and Reddit's struggle to become profitable.
In a time when we are increasingly concerned about privacy and manipulation on social platforms, We Are the Nerds reveals Reddit's central role in the dissemination of culture and information in history's first fully digital century. Rigorously reported and highly entertaining, We Are the Nerds explores how this unique platform has changed the way we all communicate today.
Educated
Tara Westover grew up preparing for the End of Days, watching for the sun to darken, for the moon to drip as if with blood. She spent her summers bottling peaches and her winters rotating emergency supplies, hoping that when the World of Men failed, her family would continue on, unaffected.
She hadn't been registered for a birth certificate. She had no school records because she'd never set foot in a classroom, and no medical records because her father didn't believe in doctors or hospitals. According to the state and federal government, she didn't exist.
As she grew older, her father became more radical, and her brother, more violent. At sixteen TAra decided to educate herself. Her struggle for knowledge would take her far from her Idaho mountains, over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge. Only then would she wonder if she'd travelled too far. If there was still a way home.
EDUCATED is an account of the struggle for self-invention. It is a tale of fierce family loyalty, and of the grief that comes with the severing of the closest of ties. With the acute insight that distinguishes all great writers, Westover has crafted, from her singular experience, a universal coming-of-age story, one that gets to the heart of what an education is and what it offers - the perspective to see one's life through new eyes, and the will to change it.

The Dawn Watch: Joseph Conrad In A Global World
CUNDILL PRIZE 2018 WINNER
SHORTLISTED FOR THE JAMES TAIT BLACK BIOGRAPHY PRIZE 2018
`Enlightening, compassionate, superb' John le Carre
A visionary life and times of Joseph Conrad, and of our global world, from one of the best historians writing today.
Migration, terrorism, the tensions between global capitalism and nationalism, the promise and peril of a technological and communications revolution: these forces shaped the life and work of Joseph Conrad at the dawn of the twentieth century. In this brilliant new interpretation of one of the great voices in modern literature, Maya Jasanoff reveals Conrad as a prophet of globalization as we recognize it today. As an immigrant from Poland to England, and in travels from Malaysia to the Congo to the Caribbean, Conrad navigated an interconnected world, and captured it in a literary oeuvre of extraordinary depth. His life story delivers a history of globalization from the inside out, and reflects powerfully on the aspirations and challenges of the modern world.
Joseph Conrad was born Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski in 1857, to Polish parents in the Russian Empire. At sixteen he left the landlocked heart of Europe to become a sailor, and for the next twenty years travelled the world's oceans before settling permanently in London as an author. He saw the surging, competitive `new imperialism' that planted a flag in almost every populated part of the globe. He got a close look, too, at the places `beyond the end of telegraph cables and mail-boat lines,' and the hypocrisy of the west's most cherished ideals.
In a compelling blend of history, biography and travelogue, Maya Jasanoff follows Conrad's routes and the stories of his four greatest works: The Secret Agent, Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, and Nostromo. Genre-bending, intellectually thrilling and deeply humane, The Dawn Watch embarks on a spellbinding expedition into the dark heart of Conrad's world - and through it to our own.

Az ember tragédiája 2.0
Madách Imre drámai költeményét Az ember tragédiája 1. címmel 2018 decemberében mutatta be a székesfehérvári Vörösmarty Színház, négy rendező közös alkotásaként. Őket már akkor megkísértette a gondolat, hogy milyen érdekes volna folytatni Ádám és Éva történetét. Vajon merre és hogyan vezette az embert a huszadik század, és milyen utat mutat neki a huszonegyedik?
„Minket az izgatott, vajon milyen alkut kötne ma az Úr Luciferrel, és milyen történetekbe sodorta Ádámot és Évát a huszadik század” – így vezette fel az olvasópróbát a Vörösmarty Színház igazgatója. Erre a kérdésre keres választ a mai magyar irodalmi élet négy kiváló személyisége, Márton László, Darvasi László, Závada Pál és Tasnádi István.
Márton László írta a keretjátékot, ahol – csakúgy, mint Madáchnál - Lucifer szembesíti az emberpárt, Ádámot és Évát azzal, hogy mik a huszadik század egészének és a XXI. század elejének tanulságai. Emellett az ún. délfrancia színben elkalauzolja a nézőt az öregedő Picassóhoz, akiről a műkritikus azt mondja: „valaha nagy festő volt, most már sajnos csak egy zseni”. A Keretjáték utáni első színben Darvasi László a Titanic indulása előtti bált jeleníti meg, Závada Pál Ádámja Nagyváradról indulva jut el a ’30-as–40-es évek Berlinjéig, hogy aztán a berlini fal leomlásával tetőzze be a maga karriertörténetét. Tasnádi István felvonása a közeli jövőben játszódik, de már most is létező jelenségekkel. Helyszíne a pillepalackokból és más kommunális hulladékokból összeállt, Franciaország méretű „nagy csendes-óceáni szemétsziget”.
