And, as if things couldn’t get any worse, she now has no choice but to go on a road trip with her estranged grandad Claude to his home in the French countryside. Talk about life giving you lemons! However, while Ori scoffs at her mum’s suggestion to “make lemonade”, her sour situation is about to turn significantly sweeter than she could ever have imagined…

Young Queens
WATERSTONES' BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: HISTORY
The boldly original, dramatic intertwined story of Catherine de' Medici, Elisabeth de Valois and Mary, Queen of Scots – three queens exercising power in a world dominated by men.
Sixteenth-century Europe: Renaissance masters paint the ceilings of Florentine churches, kings battle for control of the Continent, and the Reformation forever changes the religious organisation of society. Amidst it all, three young women come of age and into power in an era of empires and revolutions.
Catherine de' Medici's story begins in a convent stormed by soldiers intent on seizing the key to power in Florence – Catherine herself, a girl barely 11 years old. It ends with her as the controversial queen mother of France, a woman both revered and reviled.
Mary, Queen of Scots' story begins in Scotland and ends in England. A queen turned traitor, from the confines of her English prison she longs for the idyll of her childhood in France.
Elisabeth de Valois' story begins in France, where she is born the beloved daughter of a king. It ends tragically in Spain as a cherished queen consort and mother – one who must make the ultimate sacrifice for her kingdom.
Catherine, Mary and Elisabeth lived at the French court together for many years before scattering to different kingdoms. These years bound them to one another through blood and marriage, alliance and friendship, love and filial piety; bonds that were tested when the women were forced to part and take on new roles. To rule, they would learn, was to wage a constant war against the deeply entrenched misogyny of their time. A crown could exalt a young woman. Equally, it could destroy her.
Drawing on new archival research, Young Queens masterfully weaves the personal stories of these three queens into one, revealing their hopes, dreams, desires and regrets in a time when even the most powerful women lived at the mercy of the state.

Arsene Lupin 2: Dôverné priznania
MILOVANÝ AJ NENÁVIDENÝ A STÁLE NA SLOBODE
Pokračovanie príbehov o nepolapiteľnom lupičovi Arsénovi Lupinovi sa opäť nesie v duchu nečakaných zvratov a humorných situácií.
Znova stretávame vrchného inšpektora Ganimarda, šéfa la Sureté pána Dudouisa či Sherlocka Holmesa. Ich konflikty s Lupinom sú však tentoraz oveľa vyhranenejšie a celková výstavba deja mnohonásobne intenzívnejšia. Lupin, ktorý prekypuje mladistvým elánom a radosťou zo života, dokáže majstrovsky vyskladať dejovú líniu svojho nekalého zámeru tak, aby zo súboja po mnohých peripetiách nakoniec vyšiel ako víťaz. A obdivu sa nedokážu ubrániť ani jeho protivníci.
Druhá séria príhod Arsena Lupina obsahuje tri príbehy z výberu autorovej vnučky (Les aventures extraordinaires d'Arsene Lupin, 2011) a šesť nových príbehov (Pekelná pasca, Šál zo šarlátovo červeného hodvábu, Edith s labuťou šijou či Arsene Lupin sa žení a i.), ktoré vyšli v Editions Archipoche pod názvom Les confidences d'Arsene Lupin (2021).
Z francúzskeho originálu Les aventures extraordinaires d'Arsene Lupin (2011) a Les confidences d'Arsene Lupin (2021) preložil Štefan Povchanič.
Last Seen Wearing
Last Seen Wearing is the second Inspector Morse novel in Colin Dexter's Oxford-set detective series.
Why now? Why Friday 12th September – two years, three months and two days after Valerie Taylor had left home to return to afternoon school?
He frowned. ‘Something’s turned up, I suppose.’
Strange nodded. ‘Yes.’
After leaving her home in Oxford to return to school in London, seventeen-year-old Valerie Taylor completely vanished. Despite the efforts of the police and Chief Inspector Ainley, the trail went cold and she was never found.
Two years on, Ainley is dead, and Inspector Morse is handed the case. But now, someone has decided to supply some surprising new evidence . . .
Last Seen Wearing is followed by the third Inspector Morse book, The Silent World of Nicholas Quinn.
Last Bus to Woodstock
The first intriguing case that began Colin Dexter’s phenomenally successful Inspector Morse series.
‘Do you think I'm wasting your time, Lewis?’
Lewis was nobody’s fool and was a man of some honesty and integrity.
‘Yes, sir.’
An engaging smile crept across Morse’s mouth. He thought they could get on well together . . .
The death of Sylvia Kaye figured dramatically in Thursday afternoon’s edition of the Oxford Mail. By Friday evening, Inspector Morse had informed the nation that the police were looking for a dangerous man.
But as the obvious leads fade into twilight and darkness, Morse becomes more and more convinced that passion holds the key . . .
Last Bus to Woodstock is followed by the second Inspector Morse book, Last Seen Wearing.
Námestie Étoile
Rozprávač Rafael Šlemilovič neustále provokuje Šťastenu i roduverných Francúzov. A to napriek tomu – či práve preto? – že má v mene omen schlemielstva, tej jedinečnej kombinácie slaboduchého, neohrabaného a naivného Žida-smoliara, ktorý "keď si otvorí obchod s lampami, slnko začne svietiť aj v noci". Spolu s miliónmi zdedí neliečiteľnú TBC. Čo je v jeho príbehu skutočné, čo výmysel a čo púhy prelud, ktorému tento novodobý Candide uveril? Skutočnosť však býva často neuveriteľnejšia ako výmysly. Rafael putuje v čase. Stretáva Hitlera i Mauricea Sachsa, tyká si s Göringom, Himmlerom i Stülpnagelom. Stáva sa Oficiálnym Židom Tretej ríše. Jeho milenkami sú prosté dievčence z vidieka, šľachtičné zo starobylých rodov, ba i Hitlerova láska Eva Braunová. Románová prvotina Patricka Modiana vás pozýva na divokú Tour de France. Prvý diel jeho Okupačnej trilógie, Námestie Étoile, nestratilo nič zo svojej sviežosti a aktuálnosti ani po vyše polstoročí od jeho vydania. Za každou zákrutou číha prekvapenie. Pripútajte sa, prosím.
The Nutcracker
Written in 1816 by the German Romantic E. T. A. Hoffmann for his children, nephews and nieces, The Nutcracker captures better than any other story a child's wonder at Christmas. Since its publication, it has inspired hundreds of artists and adaptations, most notably the legendary ballet, scored by Russian composer Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Today, the story - and its enchanting images of sugar plums and nutcrackers, mistletoe and the Kingdom of the Dolls - continues to cast its fantastical spell on readers of all ages.
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822) was one of the major figures of European Romanticism, specializing in tales of the fantastical and uncanny. He was also a music critic, jurist, composer and caricaturist. His Tales of Hoffmann, available in Penguin Classics, includes such masterpieces as 'Mademoiselle de Scudery', one of the earliest example of crime fiction, and Hoffmann's terrifying version of 'The Sandman'.
Joachim Neugroschel won three PEN translation awards and the French-American Foundation Translation Prize. He translated Thomas Mann's Death in Venice and Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, among other works, for Penguin Classics.
Summers in France
In Summers in France, Caroline Clifton-Mogg celebrates classic French country interiors, with their sense of timeless comfort, simplicity, and elegance.
Think of summers in France and what comes to mind? Hot sunlight on a stone-flagged terrace. Bees buzzing amidst a sea of lavender. Wandering through a local market and filling a basket with bread, cheese, and ripe peaches. Sipping wine as dusk falls, then eating by candlelight in the warm evening air. These aspects please all the senses—and so too does the distinctive decorative style of rural France.
Against this backdrop, Caroline Clifton-Mogg visits 15 glorious homes that display the legendary French sense of style and evoke all the sensual appeal of summers spent in this beautiful part of the world. Throughout the book, she also explores the elements of the French country look, from the color palette and materials typical of rural style, to cosy and chic soft furnishings and decorative accessories and antiques sourced at local markets and brocantes.

A korona kandjai - harmadik könyv
A magyar Szent Korona történetének befejező részét tartja kezében az olvasó. A harmadik kötet talán az előző kettőnél is izgalmasabb, noha ez nem a szerző érdeme: a koronával történtek olyan események az utolsó másfél száz évben, amelyek feszültebbek bármely kriminél, tévésorozatnál. 1849 és 1945 között háromszor elásták, a föld alá rejtették, nehogy rátaláljon egy-egy barbár, idegen hódító. Viselte a két utolsó uralkodó, Ferenc József és az első világháború vége felé IV. Károly. Voltak felfelé ívelő, szép szakaszai azokban a korokban, és voltak szégyenteljes bukásai, hiszen a korona mindig együtt haladt a magyar nép történetével. Az összefonódásnak olykor túl nagy ára volt. A könyv lapjain tanúi lehetünk, hogyan rejtették el Kossuth menekülő hívei, és hogyan nyomoztak utána éveken át a megszálló osztrák hatóságok. Ki árulta el végül a rejtekhelyet? Hogyan került aztán az 1849-es véreskezű zsarnok fejére, akiből pár évtized múltán a „nemzet szeretett atyja” lett? A története nemcsak e tárgy, hanem a körülötte élő és őt éltető emberek története is. Felül- és alulnézetből ismerhetjük meg azokat az időket. Mi történt a koronával a kommunista rémuralom, a Tanácsköztársaság alatt? Hogyan próbálta a trónja vesztett király visszaszerezni? Miért lett hazánk király nélküli királyság, milyen veszedelmeken mentek át a korona és őrzői a második világháború alatt? A közeledő szovjet hadsereg elől kivitték Nyugatra, majd Ausztriában egy benzines hordóban elásták, és nélküle adták meg magukat az amerikai hadseregnek. Hogyan került elő, miért tartották nyolc évig a megszállt Németországban, és hogyan került az Egyesült Államok legjobban őrzött erődjébe? Miféle diplomáciai és egyéb játszmák zajlottak le a 1970-es években, amikor kiderült, hogy Carter elnök kormánya visszaadná azt a magyaroknak? És milyen mesterkedésekkel és szépnek nem nevezhető akciókkal próbálták egyesek megakadályozni, hogy mégis visszakerülhessen a magyar nép tulajdonába?

The Young Man
WINNER OF THE 2022 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
Annie Ernaux's most recent book, dazzling and breathtaking, published in France in 2022, is about her affair with a man 30 years her junior.
“A sublime book.” —Elle
“Once again the work of the writer Annie Ernaux appears as both a rigorous study of life and an experiment. These fragments of living, however evanescent, are precious, irreplaceable, like a skin that never fades.” —Caroline Montpetit in Le Devoir
The Young Man is Annie Ernaux’s account of her passionate love affair with A., a man some 30 years younger, when she was in her fifties. The relationship pulls her back to memories of her own youth and at the same time leaves her feeling ageless, outside of time— together with a sense that she is living her life backwards.
Amidst talk of having a child together, she feels time running its course, and menopause approaching. The Young Man recalls Ernaux as the “scandalous girl” she once was, but is composed with the mastery and the self-assurance she has achieved across decades of writing. It was first published in France in 2022.

Leonardo da Vinci meséi
Leonardo da Vinci Meséi most először kerülnek a magyar olvasók elé, Rofusz Ferenc Oscar-díjas rajzfilm rendező művészi összeállításában, és Szálinger Balázs József Attila-díjas fiatal magyar költő egyedi átiratában, műfordításában. A reneszánsz polihisztora hol vidáman, hol keserűen, de többnyire jó adag humorral fűszerezve kalauzol el bennünket a létezés legmélyebb, soha el nem évülő kérdéseihez. Közel fél évezred telt el a mesék keletkezése óta, mégis éppúgy aktuálisak a modern kor társadalmában, mint abban az időszakban, amelyben íródtak. A mesék hangulatát és mondanivalóját erősítő, és azokat értékében is emelő grafikákat a mai magyar grafikusművészet legkiválóbb képviselői álmodták papírra.

Their entire lives have been building toward this moment. Caught between faith and frenzy, questions and identity, love and lust, past and present, Nox and Amaris's story draws to an explosive conclusion as they fight once and for all to protect their people, their future, and each other.
Ferenc József titkos szerelme
Ferenc Józsefnek sok szeretője volt, akiket jól ismerünk. A történeti kutatás számára azonban a császár kapcsolata Theresia Pointingerrel, a sóhercegnővel újdonságként hatott, pedig az asszony hét gyermeke közül kettőnek Ferenc József volt az apja. A szerző - szintén Pointinger - ükanyja sok éven át tartó titkos szerelmi viszonyát meséli el családi fotókkal és korabeli naplórészletekkel illusztrálva.
One of the Good Guys
Cole is the perfect husband; a romantic, supportive of his wife's career, keen to be a hands-on dad, not a big drinker. A good guy.
So when his wife leaves him, he's floored. She was lucky to be with a man like him.
Craving solitude, he accepts a job on the coast and quickly settles into his new life. Then he meets reclusive artist Lennie. And though she is quite different from the woman he'd expected, he believes he has finally found a soulmate.
But as their relationship develops, two young women go missing while on a walk protesting gendered violence, right by where Cole and Lennie live. Finding themselves at the heart of a police investigation and media frenzy, Cole soon realises they don't know each other very well at all . . .
If most men say they're one of the good guys, then why are so many women afraid to walk alone at night?
