The Nature of Middle-earth
First ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien's magnificent world.
It is well known that J.R.R.Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973. For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation.From sweeping themes as complex and profound as the metaphysics of Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards! This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.

Gyilkosság az Orient Expresszen - Helikon Zsebkönyvek 121.
A történet a szerzőtől megszokott módon rendkívül csavaros, a feszültség oldalról oldalra nő, a megfejtéstől pedig leesik az állunk. A kor olvasóinak azonban még egy szempontból különleges élményt jelenthetett a regény: a cselekménybe ugyanis Agatha Christie beépítette az évszázad bűnügyének nevezett, brutális gyermekgyilkossági esetet, mely "a Lindbergh bébi elrablása" néven híresült el világszerte.
A híres Orient expressz a hóban vesztegel. Az egyik utas holtan fekszik a kabinjában, testét tizenkét késszúrás járta át. Az ajtó belülről zárva. A vonaton tizenkét utas maradt, a legkülönbözőbb társadalmi osztályból és nemzetiségből, ám mind egyre idegesebbek. Vagy van más is, ami összeköti őket?
Hercule Poirot, a legendás nyomozó csak a kis szürke agysejtjeire támaszkodhat a hóviharban rekedt luxusvonaton. Egyetlen dolog biztos: a gyilkos az utasok közt van, és Poirot-nak meg kell találnia, mielőtt újra lesújt...
Čarodějčin syn
Matka dvojčat Neda a Tama je čarodějka, svá kouzla uchovává ve sklepě v hliněném hrnci. Jednoho dne se jeden z chlapců nešťastnou náhodou utopí. Vesničané jsou přesvědčení, že přežil ten nesprávný. Když do vsi vrazí Král loupežníků, aby hrnec s kouzly ukradl, Ned prokáže nečekanou odvahu a kouzla, svou rodinu i celou vesnici ochrání. Jenže tím dobrodružství teprve začíná
Ve vesnici na druhé straně lesa žije Áine, bystrá a praktická dcera Krále loupežníků, které v hlavě straší poslední slova její matky na smrtelné posteli: Nesprávný chlapec ti zachrání život a ty zachráníš jeho. Když se cesty obou mladých hrdinů protnou, nezbývá jim než spojit síly a důvěřovat si: musejí totiž zabránit válce, která užuž mezi oběma královstvími hrozí vypuknout.

Fleur
London, 1851. - mindenki a világkiállítás lázában ég, amelyen a szép, önálló gondolkodású Fleur Hamilton összetalálkozik a rejtélyes - mint később kiderül, titkos megbízatást teljesítő - Szergej Kirov gróffal.
Amikor évek múltán Szentpéterváron újból találkoznak, rádöbben, hogy a sorsa elválaszthatatlanul összefonódott ezzel a vérpezsdítően érdekes emberével, akit képtelen ugyan kiismerni, de aki mindenki másnál jobban vonzza.
Anglia és Oroszország azonban a háború küszöbén áll, Kirov pedig érdekházasságot köt, s Fleur a szenvedély és a megcsalatottság kínzó gyűrűjében találja magát.
A csodálatos Szentpétervárról az ostromolt Szevasztopolba követi szerelmét, s számos veszélyen és szenvedésen túljutva ismeri meg Kirov titkát, és talál rá élete igaz szerelmére.
Wilder
A desperate village. A child who emerges from the marshes. A falcon that helps her save them all.
The child – if child it was – came out of the wild-ness. It came out of the sparse bleak marsh where few dared go and none came back. And though the village grew accustomed to the creature they did not forget from whence it came. And they whispered that there was no knowing whether she was sent as a blessing or a bane.’
When the child emerges from the wilderness, no one in the village knows what to do with her. She is odd – half-wild, without speech and seems to have an unnatural bond with animals – especially the falcon, who is always circling above her. The Wise-Woman takes her in, and names her Rhodd, but the rest of the villagers remain suspicious.
Over the years, as Rhodd grows, the village realises that the river, which is their connection to the wider world, is beginning to die, and eventually a dark sickness begins to spread. Soon, too soon, the villagers turn their suspicion on Rhodd and her falcon.
And so, Rhodd sets out to discover what – or who – is causing the river to dry up . . . to protect her mother, her falcon and herself…
A beautiful and enthralling adventure about love, belonging, the delicate balance of nature – and the wildness within us all, for fans of The Last Wild and Where the Crawdads Sing, for 9+ readers.
Rogues
From the prize-winning, New York Times bestselling author of Say Nothing and Empire of Pain, twelve enthralling stories of skulduggery and intrigue by one of the most decorated journalists of our time.
Patrick Radden Keefe’s work has been recognized by prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize and the Baillie Gifford in the UK, for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe observes in his preface: ‘They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.’
Keefe explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines; examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist; spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain; chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant; and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the ‘worst of the worst’, among other bravura works of literary journalism.
The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event; collected here for the first time readers can see how his work forms an always enthralling yet also deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up to them.
