The Penguin Book of Bengali Short Stories
A landmark new anthology of Bengali literature in English, including many previously untranslated stories
The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions.
Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales.
A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.

Lacná kniha Evolution: A Very Short Introduction (-70%)
Less than 450 years ago, all European scholars believed that the earth was the centre of a universe that was at most a few million miles in extent, and that the planets, sun, and stars all rotated around this centre. Less than 250 years ago, they believed that the universe was created essentially in its present state about 6000 years ago. Less than 150 years ago, the special creation by God of living species was still dominant. The relentless application of the scientific method of inference from experiment and observation, without reference to religious, or governmental authority has completely transformed our view of our origins and relation to the universe, in less than 500 years. Few would dispute that this programme has been spectacularly successful, particularly in the twentieth century. This book is about the crucial role of evolutionary biology in transforming our view of human origins and relation to the universe, and the impact of this idea on traditional philosophy and religion.The purpose of this book is to introduce the general reader to some of the most important basic findings, concepts, and procedures of evolutionary biology, as it has developed since the first publications of Darwin and Wallace on the subject, over 140 years ago. Evolution provides a unifying set of principals for the whole of biology; it also illuminates the relation of human beings to the universe and each other. In addition, many aspects of evolution have practical importance; for instance, the rapid evolution of resistance by bacteria to antibiotics and of HIV to antiviral drugs are pressing medical problems.

King of Scars - A sebhelyes cár
Nézz szembe a démonoddal - vagy etesd rendesen!
Nyikolaj Lancovnak mindig is volt tehetsége a lehetetlenhez. Senki sem tudja, mit élt át hazája véres polgárháborújában - és jobb is, ha ez így marad. Most, amikor ellenségek gyülekeznek az ország meggyengült határainál, a fiatal cárnak meg kell találnia a módját, hogy feltöltse Ravka kincstárát, új szövetségeket kössön, és felszámolja az egykor nagyszerű grisahadseregre leselkedő fenyegetést.
Ám minden egyes nappal erősebbé válik benne a sötét varázslat, ami azzal fenyeget, hogy elpusztítja mindazt, amit felépített. Egy fiatal szerzetes és egy legendás grisa szélhívó segítségével Nyikolaj elutazik Ravka azon helyeire, ahol a legerősebb mágia él, hogy legyőzze a benne rejlő szörnyű örökséget. Mindent kockára tesz, hogy megmentse az országát és önmagát. Akadnak azonban olyan titkok, amelyeket nem szabad eltemetni - és olyan sebek, amelyeket nem szabad begyógyítani.
Tüskék és rózsák udvara 4: A Court of Frost and Starlight - Fagy és csillagfény udvara
A remény még a legfagyosabb éjszakán is melegséget nyújt.
A téli napforduló egy hét múlva lesz. Még mindig újnak éreztem királynői szerepemet, és csak halvány elképzelésem volt hivatalos teendőimről.
Egy éve. Ti jó istenek! Rhys közel egy éve hajtotta be rajtam az ígéretemet, mert mielőbb ki akart engem szabadítani a mérgező Tavasz udvarából, és ezáltal megmenteni az összeomlástól. Csak a Jó Anya tudja, mi történt volna, és hol lennék most, ha csak egy percet késik.
Eszembe jutott a párom, aki olyan keményen és önzetlenül küzdött, pedig semmi reménye nem volt arra, hogy mi együtt leszünk.
Mindketten megküzdöttünk a szerelmünkért, a vérünket adtuk érte. Rhys meg is halt érte.
A Hybern elleni háború nem múlt el nyomtalanul Feyre, Rhys és barátaik életéből, mégis mindent megtesznek, hogy újjáépítsék az Éjszaka udvarát. A küszöbön álló téli napforduló kiváló alkalmat kínálna arra, hogy végre egy kicsit kikapcsolódjanak. Ám az ünnepi hangulat sem tudja visszatartani a múlt árnyékait. Miközben Feyre az Éjszaka úrnőjeként próbál helytállni, szembesülnie kell vele, hogy barátai sebei mélyebbek, mint hitte, és az udvar jövőjét is tönkretehetik.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we?ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let?s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Mason doesn?t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is?a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let?s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected American society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited?"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.
World of WarCraft: Nexus Point -The Dragons of Outland, book 2
Don't miss the astounding conclusion to Tyri and Jorad's epic adventures in the shattered world of Outland!
Beyond the Dark Portal, the good-natured but brash blue dragon Tyragosa and human paladin Jorad have encountered a group of enigmatic creatures unlike any they have ever seen: the incorporeal nether dragons. But the heroes don't have time to spare for investigation: Ragnok Bloodreaver--one of the original death knights--has enslaved a host of nether dragons and is marching his fel orc army to the Dark Portal... where is brutal takeover of Outland will begin.
If Outland falls, will Azeroth be far behind? Seeking redemption, Jorad rallies The Broken and warns the Alliance of Ragnok's impending attack, all while trying to prevent Tyri from falling under Ragnok's control...
Written by bestselling author Richard Knaak and drawn by international superstar Jae-Hwan Kim, World of Warcraft: Nexus Point brings Jorad and Tyri's journey to an earth-shattering conclusion. Besides reavealing astonishing truths about the blue dragonflight, this epic manga exposes shocking details about the nether dragons' origins and their connection to Deathwing. An excellent companion read to the World of Warcraft: Cataclysm expansion.
