The Great Gatsby
Now the subject of a major new film from director Baz Luhrmann ("Romeo+Juliet", "Moulin Rouge!"), starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, "The Great Gatsby" is F. Scott Fitzgerald's brilliant fable of the hedonistic excess and tragic reality of 1920s America. This "Penguin Classics" edition is edited with an introduction and notes by Tony Tanner. Young, handsome and fabulously rich, Jay Gatsby is the bright star of the Jazz Age, but as writer Nick Carraway is drawn into the decadent orbit of his Long Island mansion, where the party never seems to end, he finds himself faced by the mystery of Gatsby's origins and desires. Beneath the shimmering surface of his life, Gatsby is hiding a secret: a silent longing that can never be fulfilled. And soon, this destructive obsession will force his world to unravel. In "The Great Gatsby", Fitzgerald brilliantly captures both the disillusionment of post-war America and the moral failure of a society obsessed with wealth and status. But he does more than render the essence of a particular time and place, for - in chronicling Gatsby's tragic pursuit of his dream - Fitzgerald re-creates the universal conflict between illusion and reality. Like Jay Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) has acquired a mythical status in American literary history, and his masterwork. "The Great Gatsby" is considered by many to be the 'great American novel'. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre, dubbed 'the first American Flapper', and their traumatic marriage and Zelda's gradual descent into insanity became the leading influence on his writing. As well as many short stories, Fitzgerald wrote five novels "This Side of Paradise", "The Great Gatsby", "The Beautiful and the Damned", "Tender is the Night" and, incomplete at the time of his death, "The Last Tycoon". After his death "The New York Times" said of him that 'in fact and in the literary sense he created a "generation"'. "A classic, perhaps the supreme American novel". (John Carey, "Sunday Times" Books of the Century).

Nerve
Nerve is a classic novel from Dick Francis, one of the greatest thriller writers of all time. Rob Finn's winning streak made him one of the most sought-after steeplechase jockeys. But his subsequent collapse in form surprised no one more than himself. As word spreads that Finn has lost his nerve, he discovers a well-managed campaign to discredit certain jockeys; in his own case, a plan assisted by horse doping. But to find the culprits behind it, Finn will have to use all his cunning and racing know-how...Packed with intrigue and hair-raising suspense, Nerve is just one of the many blockbuster thrillers from legendary crime writer Dick Francis. Other novels include the huge bestsellers Dead Heat, Under Orders and Silks. The Dick Francis legacy continues through his son Felix Francis: Refusal is his latest novel, following Bloodline and Gamble. Praise for the Dick Francis novels: "The narrative is brisk and gripping and the background researched with care ...the entire story is a pleasure to relish". (Scotsman). "Dick Francis' fiction has a secret ingredient - his inimitable knack of grabbing the reader's attention on page one and holding it tight until the very end". (Sunday Telegraph). "Still the master". (Racing Post). "The master of suspense and intrigue". (Country Life). Dick Francis was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys. The winner of over 350 races, he was champion jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, most famously on Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National. On his retirement from the saddle, he published his autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), and the biography of Lester Piggott. Dick Francis died in February, 2010, at the age of 89, but he remains one of the greatest thriller writers of all time.

Red Sky at Noon
'The black earth was already baking and the sun was just rising when they mounted their horses and rode across the grasslands towards the horizon on fire ...' Imprisoned in the Gulags for a crime he did not commit, Benya Golden joins a penal battalion made up of Cossacks and convicts to fight the Nazis. He enrols in the Russian cavalry, and on a hot summer day in July 1942, he and his band of brothers are sent on a desperate mission behind enemy lines. Switching between Benya's war in the grasslands of Southern Russia, and Stalin's plans in the Kremlin, between Benya's intense affair with an Italian nurse and a romance between Stalin's daughter and a journalist also on the Eastern Front, this is a sweeping story of passion, bravery and human survival where personal betrayal is a constant companion, and death just a heartbeat away. Praise for Red Sky at Noon 'The gripping final instalment of the Moscow Trilogy tells of a man wrongly imprisoned in the Gulags and his fight for redemption. Love in dark times, meticulously researched... In this searing tale of love and war, most moving is the redemptive relationship between a soldier and a nurse that blooms amid the brutality. An homage to the author's favourite Russian writers and the Western masterpieces of Larry McMurtry, Cormac McCarthy and Elmore Leonard, such influences pervade this atmospheric tale told in the author's distinct own voice.' - Observer 'Mythic and murderous violence in Russia...there are power-drunk Nazis and Soviet traitors, including a particularly memorable villain ...Written with brio & deep knowledge of its fascinating subject matter... a deeply satisfying pageturner.' - Book of the Month, The Times 'In this third volume of The Moscow Trilogy, the fate of combatants and civilians is often harsh. With his feel for vivid and immediate drama and impressive research, the author evokes the extreme turbulence and violence impacting on individuals. Writing with passion, Montefiore makes the point that, up against the huge forces of war, the struggle for personal resolution can be tragic - but never wasted.' - Daily Mail 'The final instalment of Montefiore's loosely connected Moscow Trilogy: amidst the killing and the chaos, a group of prisoners are offered a chance of redemption on a secret mission behind enemy lines on horseback. Montefiore has a keen sense of place and an eye of unexpected details. Switching between the frontline on the Russian steppes and Stalin in the Kremlin, this is an EXCITING FAST-PACED ADVENTURE AND A LAMENT FOR LOVE IN DARK AND BRUTAL TIMES.' - Mail on Sunday 'I devoured Red Sky at Noon. A heartstopping, heartbreaking, technicolour epic. A grand homage to the Russian masters Babel & Grossman, echoes of Hemingway & Dostoevsky, and a propulsive delight that is entirely Montefiore's own. Gripping storytelling allied with intimate, unsqueamish knowledge of Russian history - a special combination.' - AD Miller, author of Snowdrops

Az örök szerelem szigete
Cecilia, a fiatal újságírónő magányosan él Miamiban, amely megszállva tartja a lelkét, s közben egyre a sziget, Cuba után sóvárog. Kis Havanna egyik bárjában keres menedéket, ahol egy titokzatos asszony lenyűgöző elbeszéléséihez tér vissza estéről estére. Amalia rég letűnt korokról szövi meséjét a bolero tüzes dallamára. A világ távoli zugaiból - Afrikából, Spanyolországból és Kínából - összekerült három család sorsát szövi egybe, mely egy karibi Rómeó és Júlia történetben teljesedik ki. Elbeszéléseit újabb reggelek követik, mikor Cecilia megpróbálja megfejteni az árnyak városának titkait. Közben egy cikkhez keres anyagot, kísértetházat láttak többen a városban, különös szellemlakókkal. A lány a jelenések nyomába ered, megpróbálva megfejteni üzenetüket...
Az írónő nemes hagyomány, a latin-amerikai mágikus realizmus nyomdokaiba szegődik. A megértő humor és a misztikum különös elegye nála is megkapó írói világot teremt, akárcsak Garcia Márqueznél.

All the Rivers
A controversial, award-winning story about the passionate but untenable affair between an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man, from one of Israel’s most acclaimed novelists When Liat meets Hilmi on a blustery autumn afternoon in Greenwich Village, she finds herself unwillingly drawn to him. Charismatic and handsome, Hilmi is a talented young artist from Palestine. Liat, an aspiring translation student, plans to return to Israel the following summer. Despite knowing that their love can be only temporary, that it can exist only away from their conflicted homeland, Liat lets herself be enraptured by Hilmi: by his lively imagination, by his beautiful hands and wise eyes, by his sweetness and devotion. Together they explore the city, sharing laughs and fantasies and pangs of homesickness. But the unfettered joy they awaken in each other cannot overcome the guilt Liat feels for hiding him from her family in Israel and her Jewish friends in New York. As her departure date looms and her love for Hilmi deepens, Liat must decide whether she is willing to risk alienating her family, her community, and her sense of self for the love of one man. Banned from classrooms by Israel’s Ministry of Education, Dorit Rabinyan’s remarkable novel contains multitudes. A bold portrayal of the strains—and delights—of a forbidden relationship, All the Rivers (published in Israel as Borderlife) is a love story and a war story, a New York story and a Middle East story, an unflinching foray into the forces that bind us and divide us. “The land is the same land,” Hilmi reminds Liat. “In the end all the rivers flow into the same sea.” Praise for All the Rivers “Rabinyan’s book is a sort of Romeo and Juliet, a forbidden love affair between a Jewish girl from Tel Aviv and a Palestinian boy from Hebron. . . . [A] beautiful novel.”—The Guardian “A fine, subtle, and disturbing study of the ways in which public events encroach upon the private lives of those who attempt to live and love in peace with each other, and, impossibly, with a riven and irreconcilable world.”—John Banville, Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Sea “I’m with Dorit Rabinyan. Love, not hate, will save us. Hatred sows hatred, but love can break down barriers.”—Svetlana Alexievich, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature “Astonishing . . . [a] precise and elegant love story, drawn with the finest of lines.”—Amos Oz “Rabinyan’s writing reflects the honesty and modesty of a true artisan.”—Haaretz “Because the novel strikes the right balance between the personal and the political, and because of her ability to tell a suspenseful and satisfying story, we decided to award Dorit Rabinyan’s [All the Rivers] the 2015 Bernstein Prize.”—From the 2015 Bernstein Prize judges’ decision “[All the Rivers] ought to be read like J. M. Coetzee or Toni Morrison—from a distance in order to get close.”—Walla! “Beautiful and sensitive . . . a human tale of rapprochement and separation . . . a noteworthy human and literary achievement.”—Makor Rishon “A captivating (and heartbreaking) gem, written in a spectacular style, with a rich, flowing, colorful and addictive language.”—Motke “A great novel of love and peace.”—La Stampa “A novel that truly speaks to the heart.”—Corriere della Sera

Elég már az árnyakból
Karácsony van, és Flavia de Luce – a tizenegy éves „kiskopó”, a kémia megszállottja – a laboratóriumába visszavonultan a Télapó csapdába ejtésén morfondírozik. Ám hamarosan megzavarja a patinás Luce-birtokra érkező filmes stáb, akik azért jönnek Buckshaw-ba, hogy a híres Phyllis Wyvern főszereplésével filmet forgassanak.A színésznő meglepően kedvesen viselkedik a magányos Flaviával, kárpótolja nővérei gonoszságáért. Sőt, nagylelkűen még egy Romeo és Júlia előadást is elvállal. A tomboló hóvihar közepette Bishop’s Lacey minden lakója Buckshaw-ba igyekszik, hogy megnézze Wyvernt és partnerét. Amíg a közönség önfeledten szórakozik, az időjárás még zordabbra fordul, és a birtokot végleg elzárja a külvilágtól. Az ott rekedt emberek türelmesen várják a vihar végét, eközben rejtélyes családi titkokra is fény derül. De az este döbbenetes végkifejletére senki nincs felkészülve: egy filmtekerccsel megfojtott színészre bukkannak.Vajon az összegyűlt vendégek közül ki rendezte ezt a vérfagyasztó előadást? Ahogyan a vihar egyre jobban tombol, s ahogyan a gyanúsítottak köre fokozatosan bővül, Flavia számára mégis egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy ki a gyilkos.

Blood Sport
A classic mystery from Dick Francis, the champion of English storytellers. Gene Hawkins is a fixer for his boss Mr Keeble: if Keeble has a problem, Gene goes and fixes it. It's that simple. Sometimes it requires the Luger he carries - mostly it doesn't. Now Keeble has summoned Gene back from a long-overdue holiday. It seems that a very expensive stallion has been taken in Kentucky. It's the third high-value kidnapping in a few years. Keeble wants his horse back. Gene is asked to go out there and find it. But what Gene doesn't know is that he's about to get involved with blackmailers and murderers. Looks like that Lugar will see some use...Praise for Dick Francis: "As a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride. The same is true of his crime writing". (Daily Mirror). "Dick Francis's fiction has a secret ingredient - his inimitable knack of grabbing the reader's attention on page one and holding it tight until the very end". (Sunday Telegraph). "The narrative is brisk and gripping and the background researched with care ...the entire story is a pleasure to relish". (Scotsman). "Francis writing at his best". (Evening Standard). "A regular winner ...as smooth, swift and lean as ever". (Sunday Express). "A super chiller and killer". (New York Times Book Review). Dick Francis was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys. The winner of over 350 races, he was champion jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, most famously on Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National. On his retirement from the saddle, he published his autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), and the biography of Lester Piggott. During his lifetime Dick Francis received many awards, amongst them the prestigious Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger for his outstanding contribution to the genre, and three 'best novel' Edgar Allan Poe awards from The Mystery Writers of America. In 1996 he was named by them as Grand Master for a lifetime's achievement. In 1998 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2000. Dick Francis died in February 2010, at the age of eighty-nine, but he remains one of the greatest thriller writers of all time.

Bolt
This is a classic mystery from Dick Francis, the champion of English storytellers. Jockey Kit Fielding's patron, Princess Casilia, is in trouble. Her invalid husband is being threatened by a ruthless business partner who wants to use the firm to manufacture arms. At the same time, some of the Princess' best horses are being killed - shot by a bolt. The only person the Princess can turn to is Kit - but he has problems of his own. His fiance Danielle has taken a shine to another man. And his old feud with Maynard Allardeck, racing steward and hereditary enemy of the Fieldings, might lose him his license to race. Between riding winners (and trying to save his impending marriage) Kit has somehow to find out and stop who is slaughtering the horses. But, as he's about to discover, the killer has more than horses in his sights...Praise for Dick Francis: "As a jockey, Dick Francis was unbeatable when he got into his stride.

"Dick Francis' fiction has a secret ingredient - his inimitable knack of grabbing the reader's attention on page one and holding it tight until the very end". (Sunday Telegraph). "The narrative is brisk and gripping and the background researched with care ...the entire story is a pleasure to relish". (Scotsman). "Francis writing at his best". (Evening Standard). "A regular winner ...as smooth, swift and lean as ever". (Sunday Express). Dick Francis was one of the most successful post-war National Hunt jockeys. The winner of over 350 races, he was champion jockey in 1953/1954 and rode for HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, most famously on Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National. On his retirement from the saddle, he published his autobiography, The Sport of Queens, before going on to write forty-three bestselling novels, a volume of short stories (Field of 13), and the biography of Lester Piggott. During his lifetime Dick Francis received many awards, amongst them the prestigious Crime Writers' Association's Cartier Diamond Dagger for his outstanding contribution to the genre, and three 'best novel' Edgar Allan Poe awards from The Mystery Writers of America. In 1996 he was named by them as Grand Master for a lifetime's achievement. In 1998 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours List of 2000. Dick Francis died in February 2010, at the age of eighty-nine, but he remains one of the greatest thriller writers of all time.

Hosszú utazás
Két szerelem. Két szívbe markoló történet az örök reményről és mindarról, ami igazán fontos az életben...
Ira Levinson egy hideg téli reggelen balesetet szenved: autójával átszakítja az út menti szalagkorlátot, és az árokban landol. A kilencvenegy éves, rákbeteg férfi a lassan behavazódó autóban kényszerülne szembenézni a halállal, ha imádott felesége, Ruth nem sietne a segítségére. Az asszony kilenc éve meghalt, ám Ira valósággal úgy érzi, Ruth még mindig mellette van, és ez arra készteti őt, hogy felelevenítse egy nem mindennapi szerelem és házasság történetét.
Sophia Danko művészettörténetet tanul a Wake Forest Főiskolán, és életében először - baráti unszolásra - részt vesz egy rodeón. Itt ismerkedik meg Luke Collinsszal, az egyik rodeóssal, és a két fiatal között hamarosan szerelem szövődik. Sophia nagyvárosi lány, okos és ambiciózus, míg Luke egy farmon él az édesanyjával, és kőkeményen dolgozik a megélhetésért, még súlyos sérülése miatt sem adja fel a rodeózást. Kérdéses, hogy két ennyire különböző, ilyen eltérő családi háttérrel és érdeklődéssel rendelkező ember megtalálhatja-e egymás mellett a boldogságot.
A sors úgy hozza, hogy a két pár története különös módon egybefonódik, és az események innentől kezdve nem várt fordulatot vesznek.
Nicholas Sparks (Szerelmünk lapjai, Éjjel a parton, Üzenet a palackban), a világszerte ünnepelt, megannyi megfilmesített regényt író szerző új kötete a soha el nem múló szerelemről és az örökké jelen lévő reményről szól megrendítő erővel.
Jemima J: A Novel About Ugly Ducklings And Swans
Jemima Jones is overweight. About one hundred pounds overweight. Treated like a maid by her thin and social-climbing roommates, and lorded over by the beautiful Geraldine (less talented but better paid) at the Kilburn Herald, Jemima finds that her only consolation is food. Add to this her passion for her charming, sexy, and unobtainable colleague Ben, and Jemima knows her life is in need of a serious change. When she meets Brad, an eligible California hunk, over the Internet, she has the perfect opportunity to reinvent herself–as JJ, the slim, beautiful, gym-obsessed glamour girl. But when her long-distance Romeo demands that they meet, she must conquer her food addiction to become the bone-thin model of her e-mails–no small feat. With a fast-paced plot that never quits and a surprise ending no reader will see coming, Jemima J is the chronicle of one woman's quest to become the woman she's always wanted to be, learning along the way a host of lessons about attraction, addiction, the meaning of true love, and, ultimately, who she really is.

Aki az életével játszott: Latinovits
Rómeó és Cipolla.
Savonarola és Ványa bácsi.
Szindbád és Miska főpincér.
Szóvillantó titán - találóan fogalmazta meg egy nyelvész professzor Latinovits Zoltán nevének anagrammájával színészete lényegét. Naponta átlépi a jó és rossz határát, s néha ta
rka virágcsokorral a kezében érkezik meg onnan... - ezt pedig Kassák Lajos írta, nem Latinovitsról, de szavai tökéletesen jellemzik az ő életét is. Ki volt ez az ember, aki halála után negyedfél évtizeddel sem hagyja nyugton az utókorát? Írt, játszot
t, rendezett, szavalt - mellesleg mérnöknek sem lett volna utolsó. Jövőt előlegező vátesz? A puha diktatúra feljelentettje? A filmezést utáló filmszínész? Teátrumokat elhagyó színészkirály? Szakírókat megszégyenítő verselemző? Fahangú sanzonénekes?
K
elecsényi László összeállításában szem- és fültanúk vallanak róla. Kor- és pályatársak, színészek, írók, rendezők, s olykor megvetett kritikusok szavaiból áll össze a kép. Róla oly sokan és sokfélét írtak, hogy e kötetben szereplő más szerzők, nyilat
kozók szavaiból össze lehetne állítani egy másik könyvet, s az sem volna hiteltelen. De hát teljesség nincs, csak legszebb álmainkban. Valamiképp ő is ebbe bukott bele, halt meg fiatalon, reánk hagyva ábrándjait.
Lám, ez a kötet is hosszú és kalandos
utat tett meg, mire most az Olvasó kezéhez jutott.

D, a vámpírvadász 3. - Képregény
A vámpírvadász, akit egyszerűen csak "D"-ként ismernek, és híres arról, hogy a kard útját járva teljesíti küldetéseit, most újabb vérdíjra pályázik. Ezúttal egy falu gazdag elöljárójának leányát kell megmentenie, akit elrabolt egy vámpírnemes, Mayerling. De mi van, ha egy másik fejvadászcsapat is elvállalta ugyanezt a megbízást? A hírhedt zsoldosklán, a Marcus család feje, Borgoff, a legidősebb fivér pedig nem csak a lány visszaszerzését tűzte ki a törvényt semmibe vevő, kíméletlen martalócokból álló csapata elé. Az ő céljuk maga a pusztítás: mindent megsemmisíteni, ami a pénz megszerzésének útjában áll, beleértve D-t is.
De Mayerling talán mégsem egészen az, akinek látszik... Hogy elég időt nyerjen és lerázza üldözőit, illetve elérje titkos úti célját, egy biztos menedéket nyújtó falu felé veszi útját, melyet rettentő képességekkel megáldott, számkivetett mutáns szörnyek laknak. Mi áll az emberrablás hátterében, melynek áldozata, úgy tűnik, mindennél fontosabb számára? Tényleg rablás, vagy talán valamiféle különös leányszöktetés, "vámpír módra"? Lehet, hogy ez a vámpírnemes több annál, mint amit látni enged?
D-n áll, hogy kiderítse az események mögött meghúzódó valódi okokat, és az idő egyre fogy. De ha ennyi akadály tornyosul előtte, vajon képes lesz időben odaérni, mielőtt a "szép fogolynő" mindörökre eltűnik?
Takaki földöntúli és álomszerű képi világa újabb magaslatokba emeli Kikuchi vízióját a dörzsölt és sztoikus vámpírvadászról ebben a Rómeó és Júlia-jellegű mesében, amely a méltán nagy sikerű D, a vámpírvadász-regénysorozat harmadik kötetéből készült.
