Playing to the Gallery
"I have never read such a stimulating short guide to art. It should be issued as a set text in every school." (Lynn Barber, Sunday Times Now). Grayson Perry is a fully paid-up member of the art establishment, he wants to show that any of us can appreciate art (after all, there is a reason he's called this book Playing to the Gallery and not 'Sucking up to an Academic Elite'). Based on his hugely popular BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures and full of pictures, this funny, personal journey through the art world answers the basic questions that might occur to us in an art gallery but seem too embarrassing to ask.

Back to Work
In Back to Work, Bill Clinton offers a plan to get America out of its economic crisis and "back into the future business." Clinton details how to lay a foundation for long-term prosperity, offering specific recommendations on how to boost employment rates, increase bank lending and corporate investment, and double exports. He emphasises that antigovernment sentiments in the public rarely contribute to a prosperous growth. Conflict between the government and the private sector has given the U.S. a weak economy, growing income inequality, and a decline in its competitive position. Cooperation, he stresses, is more conducive to success than conflict. To Clinton, America "at its core is an idea - the idea that no matter who you are or where you're from, if you work hard and play by the rules, you'll have the freedom and opportunity to pursue your own dreams." Back to Work is an effort to rejuvenate the idea that is America.

Road to Little Dribbling
Twenty years ago, Bill Bryson went on a trip around Britain to celebrate the green and kindly island that had become his adopted country. The hilarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, was taken to the nation's heart and became the bestselling travel book ever, and was also voted in a BBC poll the book that best represents Britain. Now, to mark the twentieth anniversary of that modern classic, Bryson makes a brand-new journey round Britain to see what has changed. Following (but not too closely) a route he dubs the Bryson Line, from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath, by way of places that many people never get to at all, Bryson sets out to rediscover the wondrously beautiful, magnificently eccentric, endearingly unique country that he thought he knew but doesn't altogether recognize any more. Yet, despite Britain's occasional failings and more or less eternal bewilderments, Bill Bryson is still pleased to call our rainy island home. And not just because of the cream teas, a noble history, and an extra day off at Christmas. Once again, with his matchless homing instinct for the funniest and quirkiest, his unerring eye for the idiotic, the endearing, the ridiculous and the scandalous, Bryson gives us an acute and perceptive insight into all that is best and worst about Britain today.

És ezt lehet? - Jogod van jól lenni
"Nőként ki mered-e mondani: jogom van jól érezni magam? Elég bátor vagy-e megismerni önmagadat? Észreveszed-e, ha egy helyzet nem visz előre téged, és tudsz-e új utat választani? Képes vagy-e kilépni mérgező kapcsolatokból, legyen szó bár családról, házasságról, munkahelyről, el tudod-e engedni a fájdalmas emlékeket az örömteli holnap kedvéért? Mered-e vállalni a döntés felelősségét, ha az életedről, a jövődről, a boldogságodról van szó?
Igen, képes vagy rá. Te is élhetsz szabadon, a saját értékeid szerint, egyenrangúként, olyan emberek között, akik építenek és támogatnak téged.
"A nők nehezebben értik meg, hogy joguk van előre sorolni saját magukat. Én határozottan képviselem szakmailag is, magánemberként is azt, hogy a saját jóllétemnek muszáj borzasztóan fontosnak lennie. Már csak azért is, mert ha én jól vagyok, akkor körülöttem mindenki más is jól lesz" - írja Várkonyi Andrea, és erre biztat téged is. Megosztja veled magánemberként és pszichológusként szerzett saját tapasztalatait, hogy te is igennel válaszolhass a kérdésre: És ezt lehet? Igen, lehet!"
Democracy - The Long Road to Freedom
From the former Secretary of State and bestselling author - a sweeping, definitive look at the birth, life and struggle of global democracy. From the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union to the ongoing struggle for human rights in the Middle East, Condoleezza Rice has been on the front lines of history. She was a child when her hometown of Birmingham, Alabama became the epicenter of the Civil Rights Movement. In DEMOCRACY, Rice explains what these epochal events teach us about democracy; how no two transitions to democracy are the same and, in the absence of perfect circumstances, how to move forward under difficult ones. At a time when people around the world are wondering whether democracy is in decline, Rice shares insights from her experiences as a policymaker, scholar, and citizen, in order to put democracy's challenges into perspective.

Six Graves to Munich
An explosive, non-stop thriller following one man's trail of violence across post-war Europe from the bestselling author of The Godfather. Michael Rogan was an intelligence officer behind enemy lines in World War II. But he made the mistake of falling in love, which gave him something to lose--or to be taken from him. Captured by the Nazis, Michael was treated as an experiment. A piece of meat. A subject upon which his captors committed atrocity upon atrocity. But not before they did the same to his wife--and unborn son. He's lived with the horror of that experience for ten years. Now, Michael Rogan has returned to Europe to find the men who tortured him. And he's going to make sure that they never have to live with the horror as he did...They will die with it. First published under a pseudonym in 1967, Six Graves to Munich was Mario Puzo's literary predecessor to his legendary novel, The Godfather. In this unsung classic, Puzo's trademark unflinchingly stark writing style, vivid descriptive skill, and relentless pace are exemplified in the genre of the spy novel. In his hands, the classic tale of revenge becomes a haunting study of humanity at its most visceral, offering a glimpse into a damaged soul whose only remaining purpose for living is to kill.
Night Train to Lisbon
This title is now a major film. Pascal Mercier's haunting novel of the paths not taken, the choices not made, the lives not lived, "Night Train to Lisbon" has captured the hearts of readers across Europe, with over two million copies sold worldwide. "Night Train to Lisbon" follows Raimund Gregorius, a 57-year-old Classics scholar, on a journey that takes him across Europe. Abandoning his job and his life and travelling with a dusty old book as his talisman, he heads for Lisbon in search of clues to the life of the book's Portuguese author, Amadeu de Prado. As he gets swept up in his quest, he finds that the journey is also one of self-discovery, as he re-encounters all the decisions he has made - and not made - in his life, and faces the roads not travelled. It is suitable for fans of the film, readers of Carlos Ruiz Zafon's "Shadow of the Wind", Nicole Krauss' "The History of Love", or Isabelle Allende's "The House of Spirits".

Én és Mr. Darcy
Emily Albright számtalan katasztrofális randevú után úgy dönt, leszámol a szerelemmel. Inkább a karosszékbe kuporodik a Büszkeség és balítélettel, és idejét Mr. Darcyval, Jane Austen fess, tiszteletreméltó és szenvedélyes regényhősével tölti.
Ilyenformán tehát, amikor barátnője egy vad bulira hívja Mexikóba, a Margarita koktélok és férfiak világába, Emily inkább Angliába utazik, hogy részt vegyen egy Jane Austen-rajongóknak szervezett kiránduláson, ahol reményei szerint elmerülhet a romantika és Jane Austen világában.
Azonban semmi nem úgy alakul, ahogyan Emily képzelte, az utazás váratlan fordulatokat hoz az életébe. S bár nem mással találkozik, mint álmai férfijával, Mr. Darcyval, ám megismeri a nyers modorú, de két lábbal a földön járó újságírót, Spike Hargreavest is.
Vajon minden nő álomférfija, Mr. Darcy be tudná tölteni egy mai nő vágyait? A múlt romantikus világa tényleg nemesebb a modern valóságnál? Vajon a kellemetlen természetű oknyomozó újságíró valóban az, akinek látszik?
Emily végül nem a nyüzsgő New Yorkban, hanem az öreg kontinensen kapja meg azokat a válaszokat, amelyek miatt kénytelen megváltoztatni addigi nézeteit a férfiakkal kapcsolatban.
