The New Girl
Now you see her. Now you don’t. THE NEW GIRL. A thriller of deception, betrayal, and vengeance.
She was covered from head to toe in expensive wool and plaid, the sort of stuff one saw at the Burberry boutique in Harrods. She carried a leather bookbag rather than a nylon backpack. Her patent leather ballet slippers were glossy and bright. She was proper, the new girl, modest. But there was something else about her …
At an exclusive private school in Switzerland, mystery surrounds the identity of the beautiful raven-haired girl who arrives each morning in a motorcade fit for a head of state. She is said to be the daughter of a wealthy international businessman. In truth, her father is Khalid bin Mohammed, the much-maligned crown prince of Saudi Arabia. Once celebrated for his daring social and religious reforms, he is now reviled for his role in the murder of a dissident journalist. And when his only child is brutally kidnapped, he turns to the one man he can trust to find her before it is too late.
What’s done cannot be undone …
Gabriel Allon, the legendary chief of Israeli intelligence, has spent most of his life fighting terrorists, including the murderous jihadists financed by Saudi Arabia. Prince Khalid—or KBM, as he is known—has pledged to finally break the bond between the Kingdom and radical Islam. For that reason alone, Gabriel regards him as a valuable if flawed partner. Together they will become unlikely allies in a deadly secret war for control of the Middle East. The life of a child, and the throne of Saudi Arabia, hang in the balance. Both men have made their share of enemies. And both have everything to lose.
Filled with dark humor, breathtaking twists of plot, and an unforgettable cast of characters, The New Girl is both a thrilling, page-turning tale of entertainment and a sophisticated study of political alliances and great-power rivalries in a dangerous world. And it is once again proof that Gabriel Allon is “one of fiction’s greatest spies” (Kirkus) and Daniel Silva is “quite simply the best” (Kansas City Star) writer of foreign intrigue and suspense at work today.

Range
The New York Times bestseller
'Urgent and important. . . an essential read for bosses, parents, coaches, and anyone who cares about improving performance.' Daniel H. Pink
'So much crucial and revelatory information about performance, success, and education.' Susan Cain, bestselling author of Quiet
A powerful argument for how to succeed in any field: develop broad interests and skills while everyone around you is rushing to specialize.
From the `10,000 hours rule' to the power of Tiger parenting, we have been taught that success in any field requires early specialization and many hours of deliberate practice. And, worse, that if you dabble or delay, you'll never catch up with those who got a head start.
This is completely wrong.
In this landmark book, David Epstein shows you that the way to succeed is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests - in other words, by developing range.
Studying the world's most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein demonstrates why in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists are primed to excel. No matter what you do, where you are in life, whether you are a teacher, student, scientist, business analyst, parent, job hunter, retiree, you will see the world differently after you've read Range. You'll understand better how we solve problems, how we learn and how we succeed. You'll see why failing a test is the best way to learn and why frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers.
As experts silo themselves further while computers master more of the skills once reserved for highly focused humans, Range shows how people who think broadly and embrace diverse experiences and perspectives will increasingly thrive and why spreading your knowledge across multiple domains is the key to your success, and how to achieve it.

Enough Said - What's gone wrong with the language of politics?
LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2017 How do we discuss serious ideas in the age of 24-hour news? What was rhetoric in the past and what should it be now? And what does Islamic State have in common with Donald Trump? We've never had more information or more opportunity to debate the issues of the day. Yet the relationship between politicians, the media and the public is characterised by suspicion, mistrust and apathy. What has gone wrong? Enough Said reveals how political, social and technological change has transformed our political landscape - and how we talk about the issues that affect us all. Political rhetoric has become stale and the mistrust of politicians has made voters flock to populists who promise authenticity, honesty and truth instead of spin, evasiveness and lies. Featuring Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin, Tony Blair and George Osborne, Silvio Berlusconi and many more star performers, Enough Said shows how public language is losing its power, and how an ominous gap is opening between the governed and those who govern. The result of decades of first-hand experience of politics and media, this is an essential, brilliant diagnosis of what we should stop doing and what we should start doing in order to reinvigorate Western democracy.

Suburra
Ostiában, Róma tengerparti részén hírhedt fővárosi bűnszövetkezetek, a maffia és korrupt politikusok egy több száz millió eurós beruházást próbálnak megszerezni maguknak, ám egy váratlan esemény bandaháborút robbant ki.
Silvio Berlusconi hatalmának utolsó napjaiban vagyunk. Egy hatalmas fejlesztési terv Ostiát kaszinóvárossá, a mediterrán Las Vegasszá alakítaná át. A terv jó úton halad, hogy keresztülmenjen az olasz törvényhozó testületen, köszönhetően több politikus befolyásának, egyházi döntéshozóknak és bűnügyi szervezetek kenőpénzeinek. Mindenki szeretne egy szeletet kapni a tortából. Azonban egy kisebb helyi banda, amelyet senkihez és semmihez nem köt hűség, ennél többre vágyik. És a céljai eléréséért bármire képes. A maffia és politikai bábjaik viszont nem nézik ölbe tett kézzel a fejleményeket, és a szervezett bűnözésben kitör a környék legnagyobb háborúja. Szamuráj, az alvilág vezére hideg józansággal készül rendet tenni, de nem számol Marco Malatesta csendőr alezredessel.
Giancarlo de Cataldo és Carlo Bonini regénye a 2010-es évek egyik legfontosabb műve, ami napjaink olasz maffiáját és a velejéig romlott és korrupt Rómát ábrázolja. Sodró lendületével és utánozhatatlan hangulatával a Suburra gyorsan kultkönyvvé vált Olaszországban, a Netflix több évados, népszerű sorozatra adaptálta, és nemrég megjelent az USA-ban is, ahol olyan nagyságok műveihez hasonlították, mint Dennis Lehane és Richard Price, míg a sorozat hatását a Dróthoz mérik.

Ki ölte meg Palomino Molerót?
Egy perui légi támaszpont közelében borzalmasan megcsonkított holttestet találnak; mint hamarosan kiderül, az áldozat a környékbeli házi mulatságok kedves, népszerű dalénekese.
A szomszédos halászfalu csendőrhatósága "Silva hadnagy és Lituma közcsendőr" komótosan, de elszántan lát munkához, hogy kiderítse, ki vagy kik voltak a szerencsétlen fiatalember gyilkosai. A nyomozás során újabb és újabb rejtélyes kérdések merülnek fel, s meglepetés meglepetést követ.
Végül aztán többé-kevésbé mindenre fény derül, és nemcsak egy líraian induló, ám rémdrámába forduló tragikus-különös szerelmi történet bontakozik ki előttünk fokozatosan, hanem az ötvenes évek Perujának társadalmi látlelete is, amelynek komor színeit derűs, már-már bohózati elemekkel frissíti a már nem egészen fiatal, de még mindig kívánatos, dús idomú fogadósné junói bájai után ácsingózó Silva hadnagy szerelmi csetlése-botlása.

Amazons - The Real Warrior Women of the Ancient World
Since the time of the ancient Greeks we have been fascinated by accounts of the Amazons, an elusive tribe of hard-fighting, horse-riding female warriors. Equal to men in battle, legends claimed they cut off their right breasts to improve their archery skills and routinely killed their male children to purify their ranks.
For centuries people believed in their existence and attempted to trace their origins. Artists and poets celebrated their battles and wrote of Amazonia. Spanish explorers, carrying these tales to South America, thought they lived in the forests of the world's greatest river, and named it after them.
In the absence of evidence, we eventually reasoned away their existence, concluding that these powerful, sexually liberated female soldiers must have been the fantastical invention of Greek myth and storytelling. Until now.
Following decades of new research and a series of groundbreaking archeological discoveries, we now know these powerful warrior queens did indeed exist. In Amazons, John Man travels to the grasslands of Central Asia, from the edge of the ancient Greek world to the borderlands of China, to discover the truth about the warrior women mythologized as Amazons.
In this deeply researched, sweeping historical epic, Man redefines our understanding of the Amazons and their culture, tracking the ancient legend into the modern world and examining its significance today.

Annak idején Gesell alternatív gazdasági modellje nagy visszhangra talált, majd a gazdasági és politikai erők változásától függően hol megpróbálták elfelejteni, hol elkezdték újragondolni elméletét."

Daniel Kramer. Bob Dylan - A Year and a Day
Daniel Kramer's classic Bob Dylan portfolio captures the artist's transformative "big bang" year of 1964-65. Over the course of a year and a day, Kramer's extraordinary access to Bob Dylan on tour, in concert, and backstage, allowed for one of the most mesmerizing photographic portfolios of any recording artist and a stunning document of Dylan breaking through to superstardom.Highlights include the Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall concert with Joan Baez; the Bringing It All Back Home recording sessions; and the now-famous concert at Forest Hills, when Dylan's controversial transition to electric guitar exemplified his constant, cryptic state of becoming. As much a document of a seminal period of rock 'n' roll history as of Dylan himself, the pictures also feature such compelling friends and collaborators as Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, Allen Ginsberg, and Albert Grossman.Bob Dylan: A Year and a Day presents a curated selection of nearly 200 images, including outtakes from the Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited album cover shoots. Previously published by TASCHEN as a signed Collector's Edition, this standard edition is the more affordable boon to any serious photography or Dylan fan. With stories throughout the book by Kramer, this is at once an intimate and evocative testament to a seminal photographer, to a particular point in time, and to an exceptional, mysterious artist at the moment his career went global.First published as a TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available as an affordable, compact edition

Bosch
The Museo del Prado houses the largest known collection of works by Jheronimus Bosch. Among its holdings are The Adoration of the Magi and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptychs, as well as the original of The Haywain, making it the 'home of Bosch' and the perfect institution to hold a major exhibition marking the quincentenary of the artist's death. This magnificent, richly illustrated book reproduces these masterpieces and other recently cleaned and restored paintings, and reveals hitherto unknown facets of Bosch's art. A distinguished team of Bosch scholars contribute to the volume. Pilar Silva Maroto's essay presents an updated biography of Bosch and his family, and includes all the surviving documents dating from his lifetime. It also locates the artist in the context of his home town, 's-Hertogenbosch, and offers an in-depth appreciation of his status as a painter and draughtsman. Eric De Bruyn considers Bosch's sources in texts and images; Paul Vandenbroeck, his values and ideology; and Larry Silver, the sins and their punishment, a fundamental theme in the artist's work.Finally, there is a 'conversation' between Reindert Falkenburg and The Garden of Earthly Delights triptych, and a reflection by Fernando Checa on the reception of Bosch at the Habsburg court in Flanders and in Spain in the 16th century. The catalogue entries for the paintings belonging to the Prado collection discuss the findings of recent technical research carried out specifically for the exhibition, which has shed new light on these works.
