Hologram for the King
New from Dave Eggers, National Book Award finalist A Hologram for the King. In a rising Saudi Arabian city, far from weary, recession-scarred America, a struggling businessman pursues a last-ditch attempt to stave off foreclosure, pay his daughter's college tuition, and finally do something great. In A Hologram for the King, Dave Eggers takes us around the world to show how one man fights to hold himself and his splintering family together in the face of the global economy's gale-force winds. This taut, richly layered, and elegiac novel is a powerful evocation of our contemporary moment - and a moving story of how we got here. Praise for A Hologram for the King: "Absorbing ...modest and equally satisfying: the writing of a comic but deeply affecting tale about one man's travails that also provides a bright, digital snapshot of our times". (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times). "A fascinating novel". (New Yorker). "A spare but moving elegy for the American century". (Publishers Weekly). "Eggers understands the pressures of American downward-mobility, and in the protagonist of his novel, Alan Clay, has created an Everyman, a post-modern Willy Loman...The novel operates on a grand and global scale, but it also is intimate". (Chicago Tribune). "Completely engrossing". (Fortune). "Eggers can do fiction as well as he likes". (Los Angeles Times). Dave Eggers is the author of six previous books: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, How We Are Hungry, You Shall Know Our Velocity, What is the What, The Wild Things and Zeitoun. Zeitoun was the winner of the American Book Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize and What is the What was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award and won France's Prix Medicis. Eggers is the founder and editor of McSweeney's, an independent publishing house based in San Francisco. A native of Chicago, he lives in Northern California with his wife and two children.

The Morning They Came for Us
Winner of the Hay Festival Award for Prose Winner of the 2016 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award Shortlisted for the New York Public Library's Helen Bernstein Excellence in Journalism Award Shortlisted for the 2017 Moore Prize for Non-Fiction Literature In May of 2012, Janine di Giovanni travelled to Syria, marking the beginning of a long relationship with the country, as she began reporting from both sides of the conflict, witnessing its descent into one of the most brutal, internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawn to the stories of ordinary people caught up in the fighting, Syria came to consume her every moment, her every emotion. Speaking to those directly involved in the war, di Giovanni relays the personal stories of rebel fighters thrown in jail at the least provocation; of children and families forced to watch loved ones taken and killed by regime forces with dubious justifications; and the stories of the elite, holding pool parties in Damascus hotels, trying to deny the human consequences of the nearby shelling.Delivered with passion, fearlessness and sensitivity, The Morning They Came for Us is an unflinching account of a nation on the brink of disintegration, charting an apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war - and an unforgettable testament to human resilience in the face of devastating, unimaginable horrors.

Art for No One (Bilingual edition): 1933-1945
Between 1933 and 1945, artistic creativity within the German Reich was almost totally under the control of the National Socialist state. Many artists emigrated. But what about the ones who remained in Germany? Under what social and economic conditions did they focus on their art and what options for activity were open to them?
For artists who did not conform to the system, the years of National Socialism were an era of standstill and isolation. This volume questions this blanket judgement through 15 artist personalities and shows how differently they dealt with ostracism, the lack of audience and the absence of exchange, what possibilities they had for selling and exhibiting their works and to what extent they adapted to the requirements of the Nazi regime.
Some 150 paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs reflect graphically the contradictions of this time.

The Forever of Ella and Micha
Ella és Micha új története reményről, szívfájdalomról és az igaz szerelem erejéről...
Ella folytatja tanulmányait; igyekszik a jövőjére összpontosítani, és elfelejteni múltja sötétségét. A családjában dúló dráma miatt azonban egyre nehezebben birkózik meg a mindennapokkal. Igazából nem akar mást, csak Michát, viszont esze ágában sincs hagyni, hogy problémái a fiú álmainak útjába álljanak.
Micha az országot járja együttesével, úgy tűnik, megkapott mindent, amire valaha vágyott. Szíve mélyén azonban tudja, hogy valami hiányzik. Sokkal nehezebben bírja Ella nélkül, mint hitte. És hiába szeretné, ha vele tartana a lány, eszébe sem jutna azt kérni tőle, hogy emiatt hagyja ott az egyetemet.
Amikor ők ketten együtt vannak, minden lehetségesnek tűnik... de mostanában alig jut idejük egymásra. Miután egy új tragédia alapjaiban rengeti meg már így is törékeny világukat, egyikük súlyos döntést hoz, ami talán örökre szétválasztja őket...
A Queen for All Seasons
'Lovely... delivers the warmest of glows' - The Telegraph
A sparkling celebration of our much-loved Queen Elizabeth II for her Platinum Jubilee including special writings and illuminating insights around key moments in her 70-year reign, introduced and edited by her biggest fan Joanna Lumley.
In 2022 Queen Elizabeth II celebrates seventy years as Queen and Head of the Commonwealth. She is Britain's longest reigning monarch and the very first to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee.
A Queen For All Seasons, edited and introduced by Joanna Lumley, is a perceptive, touching and engaging tribute to this unique woman. A treasure chest of first-hand writings, insights and snapshots of the Queen during key moments of her reign to form a vibrant portrait of the woman herself and the extraordinary role she plays.
Joanna Lumley guides us as we meet Princess Elizabeth in 1952, aged just twenty-five, and about to become Queen, and brings us through to the present day when, as our matriarch, the Queen keeps the national ship steady, including in moments of crisis and suffering. Here are unique perspectives into some of the most fascinating aspects of the Queen's life - her role as head of state at home and abroad, her private passions and public interests and a bird's-eye look at key events that have held the nation together and the Queen in our affection throughout Britain and beyond.
This book is a special and unique portrait of our constant Queen in an ever-changing world.

Pushing the Limits - Feszülő húr
Senki sem tudja, mi történt aznap éjjel Echo Emersonnal, amikor a menő fiúval járó népszerű lányból pletykák tárgya, kirekesztett lett, karján hátborzongató sebhelyekkel. Még Echo sem emlékszik a teljes igazságra.
Amikor aztán berobban az életébe Noah Hutchins, a szívdöglesztő, lányfaló, megközelíthetetlen fiú a fekete bőrdzsekijében, és meglepően megértő vele, Echo élete olyan fordulatot vesz, amilyenre sosem gondolt volna.
Valószínűleg semmi közös nincs bennük. Mindketten olyan titkokat rejtegetnek, melyek lehetetlenné tehetik kettejük kapcsolatát. Egymás iránti őrült vonzalmuk mégsem foszlik szét, és Echo felteszi magának a kérdést, hogy meddig feszíthetik a húrt, és mit kockáztatna azért a fiúért, aki talán megtanítja őt újra szeretni.
