The War Came To Us
The inside story of Ukraine's bravery and defiance in the face of Russian aggression, from the conflict's leading journalist. When President Putin ordered Russian troops to invade Ukraine, he unleashed a terror which struck at the very heart of Europe and broke the world order that had been in place since the fall of the Soviet Union. Financial Times reporter Christopher Miller has been embedded in Ukraine for 13 years and is one of the few journalists who knows Ukraine inside out, who was at the frontline in Crimea and who reported from bombed out Mariupol.
This book takes the reader from the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine's peninsula to the bloody battlefields where warlords ruled with iron fists; to the destruction and terror wrought by Russian bombs in Bucha, Kharkiv, Mariupol, and beyond. This is the story of modern Ukraine and its transformation, as told through the lives of Ukrainians, their fears and struggles. It is Ukraine in all its glory: vast, weird, exhilarating, defiant, resilient, trying to escape the long shadow of its former imperial ruler while fighting to build a new future.
The Eastern Front
The definitive history of the Eastern Front in the First World War, from the acclaimed military historian and author of Passchendaele and The Western Front.
In the second volume of his landmark First World War trilogy, Professor Nick Lloyd tells the story for the first time of what Winston Churchill once called the 'unknown war': the vast conflict in Eastern Europe and the Balkans that brought about the collapse of three empires.
Much has been written about the fighting in France and Belgium, yet the Eastern Front was no less bloody. Between 1914 and 1917, huge numbers of people - perhaps as many as 16 million soldiers and two million civilians - were killed, wounded or maimed in enormous battles that sometimes ranged across a front of 100 km in length.
Through intimate eyewitness reports, diary entries and memoirs - many of which have never been translated into English before - Lloyd reconstructs the full story of a war that began in the Balkans as a local struggle between Austria-Hungary and Serbia, and which sucked in Russia, Germany and Italy, right through to the final collapse of the Habsburg Empire in 1918.
The Eastern Front paints a vivid and authoritative picture of a conflict that shook the world, and that remains central to understanding the tragic, blood-soaked trajectory of the entire twentieth century, including the current war in Ukraine.
Christendom
In the fourth century AD, a new faith exploded out of Palestine. Overwhelming the paganism of Rome, and converting the Emperor Constantine in the process, it resoundingly defeated a host of other rivals. Almost a thousand years later, all of Europe was controlled by Christian rulers, and the religion, ingrained within culture and society, exercised a monolithic hold over its population. But, as Peter Heather shows in this compelling history, there was nothing inevitable about Christendom's rise to Europe-wide dominance.
In exploring how the Christian religion became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a small sect of isolated congregations was transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome, Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief. From the crisis that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, which left the religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing revolution in which the Papacy emerged as the head of a vast international corporation, Heather traces Christendom's chameleon-like capacity for self-reinvention and willingness to mobilize well-directed force.
Christendom's achievement was not, or not only, to define official Christianity, but - from its scholars and its lawyers, to its provincial officials and missionaries in far-flung corners of the continent - to transform it into an institution that wielded effective religious authority across nearly all of the disparate peoples of medieval Europe. This is its extraordinary story.
Wading in Waist-High Water
Since the release of their breakout debut in 2008, Fleet Foxes and their frontman, singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold, have enjoyed international critical and commercial acclaim.
Drawing comparisons to Simon & Garfunkel; Crosby, Stills & Nash; and the music of Brian Wilson, Grammy-nominated Fleet Foxes have reshaped the American indie-folk sound, crafting songs that are acoustically and melodically driven, steeped in gospel-like harmonies, and propelled by resonant and timeless lyrics. Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes contains Robin Pecknold's complete lyrics from 56 songs, capturing the poetic and inventive storytelling that is a hallmark of the band's music. These richly layered lyrics explore the complexity, darkness, and beauty of physical and emotional landscapes, both pastoral and modern.
Alongside the lyrics, Pecknold includes hand-written notes and candid observations on creative processes, inspirations, and motivations. With an introduction by celebrated author Brandon Taylor, Wading in Waist-High Water: The Lyrics of Fleet Foxes is a moving and intimate look at the art of songwriting, the joy of music-making, and what it means to produce meaningful and memorable sound.
The Principle of Moments
6066: In Emperor Thracin's brave new galaxy, humans are not citizens but indentured labourers, working to repay the debt they unwittingly incurred when they settled on Gahraan - a desert planet already owned by the emperor himself. Asha Akindele knows she's just another voiceless cog working the assembly lines that fuel his vast imperial war machine. Her only rebellion: studying stolen aeronautics manuals in the dead of night. But then a cloaked stranger arrives to deliver an impossible message, and her life changes in an instant.
1812: Obi Amadi is done with time-travelling. Never mind the fact he doesn't know how to cure himself of the temporal sickness he caught whilst anchoring his soul to Regency London, the one that unmakes him further with every jump. Or if the prince he loves will ever love him back. Or why his father disappeared. He is done. Until he hears about the ghost of a girl in the British Museum. A girl from another time.
When Obi's path tangles with Asha's and a prophecy awakens in the cold darkness of space, they must voyage through the stars, racing against time, tyranny, and the legacy of three heroes from an ancient religion who may be awakening, reincarnated in ways beyond comprehension.
A love letter to Black readers of science-fantasy, The Principle of Moments is a symphonic, centuries-spanning adventure - unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the alternate London of V. E. Schwab, and the virtuosic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.
Bodzaszörp - Mesék nagymamákról és nagypapákról
Vannak bizonyos színek, illatok, hangok, melyeket a nagyszüleinkhez kapcsolunk. A cseresznye pirosa, a bodza illata, vagy a lágy dúdolás, amivel a mama álomba ringat. A nagyszülők olyan szeretetet tudnak adni, melyet senki más, mégis talán méltatlanul kevés történet szól róluk.
Ebben a könyvben viszont minden mese nekik tiszteleg. Hiszen ők is segíthetnek az unokájuknak, ha fél, dühös, vagy ha úgy érzi, már soha nem tud örülni. Ők lehetnek a támaszok egy válásnál, csúfolásnál, egy barát költözésénél. Vagy épp társak, mondjuk, a lombházépítésben. Arra is fény derül, milyen mókásak tudnak lenni a nagyszülők.
Milyen jó, amikor a szülők szülei is ott vannak, ha szükség van rájuk. Ezzel a néhány mesével szeretnénk megköszönni nekik azt a rengeteg gondoskodást, amivel a gyerekeket - unokákat és szüleiket is - támogatják.
A történetek az érzelmek és a szeretet kertjébe vezetnek, ahol Bogdán Viki szívmelengető illusztrációi kísérik végig az olvasót.
In the Lives of Puppets
From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
New for paperback! This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world.
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller*
*Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.

A megriadt hölgy esete
"Különös alakot vett észre az éjszaka homályában.. Hogy az ördögbe kerül ide lándzsás hindu harcos, ráadásul éjnek idején?... hirtelen vérfagyasztó halálordítás verte föl az éjszaka csöndjét. Briggs úgy érezte, hogy minden haja szála égnek mered." A kis faluban történt fojtogatások ügyében a Scotland Yard emberei - élükön Tanner fõfelügyelõvel - nyomoznak. A szálak hamarosan egy õsi nemes család kastélyába vezetnek, ahol rejtélyes dolgok történnek. A szellemesen megírt könyv végére azonban minden titokra fény derül. A szerzõrõl: Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) az angol krimi-, újság- és színmûíró számos népszerû kaland és detektívregény szerzõje volt. Már életében "a krimi királyaként" ünnepelték. Haditudósítóként dolgozott az orosz-japán háború során, hazatérését követõen írta meg elsõ könyvét, a Négy igaz embert. Korának hallatlanul termékeny és sikeres írója volt, mintegy 176 regényt és számos novellát írt 1932-ben bekövetkezett haláláig.

Veselo o saleziánoch
Výstižne, jednoducho, radostne… Takto sa autor snaží priblížiť históriu saleziánov počas ich storočného pôsobenia na Slovensku. Množstvo príbehov a svedectiev ukazuje, ako bola táto rehoľa od počiatku zrastená so slovenským ľudom. Dá sa povedať, že saleziáni s mnohými z vás či z vašich blízkych hladovali, spolu sa radovali a za komunizmu i sedeli vo väzení. Ale prežili a sú tu. Cieľ knihy je veľmi jednoduchý: Nezabudnúť na všetko to krásne a dobré, čo saleziáni priniesli do nášho národa. A aby v srdciach ľudí vznikla vďačnosť dobrotivému Bohu a Panne Márii za všetko, čo s ich a vašou pomocou dokázali.
O autorovi

A fény fiai
1778-ban egy kis bajor városkában különös levél akad Wilhelm Koch detektív kezébe. Titokzatos aláírója, egy bizonyos Spartacus gyűlölettel és keserűséggel teli hangon beszél a társadalmi igazságtalanságokról és a társadalmi rend lerombolását sürgeti. Koch élete legrejtélyesebb ügyével szembesül, nyomozásában segítségül hívja Lebendig professzort, a grafológus tudóst, majd ketten erednek egy titokzatos összeesküvés nyomába. A szálak a szabadkőműves-páholyokba, az Illuminátusok rendjéhez vezetnek, akik nem riadnak vissza sátánista mágiától, gyilkosságoktól a történelmet felforgató tervük végrehajtása érdekében. Pár évvel később, 1793-ban egy párizsi téren a guillotine elválasztja XVI. Lajos koronás fejét a testétől... Vajon mi köze a két eseménynek egymáshoz? Kiderül César Vidal lélegzetelállítóan izgalmas regényéből, amelyben a fikció szövi a történelmi valóságot nem is mindig nélkülöző hálót. Mert A fény fiai ügyesen egyensúlyoz kaland és valóság között, a gyanútlan olvasó pedig egy remek detektívregényt tart a kezében, amelyben ha nem is győz a végső igazság, két örökbecsű emberi érték nem pusztul el: a barátság és a becsület.

Negatives
A gorgeous hardcover time capsule of the emo music scene as it was from 1996 to 2006, featuring never-before-seen photographs and never-before-told stories from key emo musicians, photographers, and icons.
While the term emo has become a familiar label, there was a time when that wasn’t the case. Many bands of the mid-to-late '90s would never have classified themselves as such. With the advent of the 2000s, the previously underground emo scene was put on the map, and the term and sound of the genre morphed into something new. Today, the musical and cultural impact of this movement is alive and well, responsible for some of the biggest and most influential acts of the 21st century, from Jimmy Eat World to My Chemical Romance, and the emo label has been reclaimed by those who can’t imagine life without it.
Through rare and never-before-seen photographs Amy Fleisher Madden, founder of Fiddler Records (Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, Recover, and more), thoughtfully and lovingly put together this moving archive of the second and third waves of emo. With a foreword by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional and revealing essays from Frank Iero, Geoff Rickly, Norman Brannon, Matt Pryor, Jesse Johnson, Andrew McMahon, and Bob Nanna, as well as insights and bite-sized narratives from photographers and other musicians of the era, this heartwarming time capsule expounds an extraordinary moment in music history—a scene that gave life to not only numerous big names but also to a powerful sound and even more powerful friendships.
Featuring more than eighty bands, including:
- Jimmy Eat World
- Dashboard Confessional
- My Chemical Romance
- Texas Is the Reason
- Taking Back Sunday
- The Get Up Kids
- Thursday
- Fall Out Boy
- American Football
- Jawbreaker
From basements and VFW halls to dive bars and holes-in-the-wall, during long overnight drives through the middle of nowhere and stolen moments of sleep in carbon-copy motels, Negatives captures the heart of what made up this tight-knit community, an official archive of life as it was, taking you on stage, behind the curtain, and on the road.
A UNIQUE LOVE LETTER FROM EXPERT AUTHOR: The first of its kind, Negatives is not a critic's take—rather a touching and heartfelt time capsule and photographic archive of the scene as told by those who lived it.
RARE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN MATERIAL: Founder of Fiddler Records Amy Fleisher Madden compiles hundreds of high-quality photos of more than eighty bands, as well as essays and bite-sized narratives from photographers and key musicians of the era.
STAR CONTRIBUTORS: Foreword by Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional) with essays by Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), Geoff Rickly (Thursday), Norman Brannon (Texas Is the Reason), Matt Pryor (The Get Up Kids), Jesse Johnson (Motion City Soundtrack), Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes), and Andrew McMahon (Something Corporate).
A MUSIC GIFT FOR EVERY EMO FAN: Focusing on the second and third waves (1996–2006), Negatives includes hundreds of high-quality images of bands including Jimmy Eat World, Dashboard Confessional, My Chemical Romance, Texas Is the Reason, Taking Back Sunday, The Get Up Kids, Thursday, The Promise Ring, American Football, Saosin, and more.
Perfect for:
- Emo fans of all kinds and all waves
- Fans of second-wave bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, third-wave bands like My Chemical Romance, and indie emo bands like Death Cab for Cutie
- Music history fans
- Musicians and aspiring musicians
- Photography enthusiasts
- Music lover's gift idea for birthday, graduation, holiday, or any special occasion
