The Tablet of Destinies
A beguiling new reimagining of one of the most ancient and mysterious origin myths of human civilization
'The Flood didn't come suddenly as a big surprise. It came at the end of a long, tormented story. Men just went on multiplying and the noise they made was ever more irksome . . . I remember days of desperation.'
A long time ago, the gods grew tired of humans and decided to send a flood to destroy them. But Ea, the god of fresh underground water, didn't agree. He advised one of his devotees, Utnapishtim, to build a quadrangular boat to house humans and animals, and saved these living creatures from the Flood.
Rather than punish Utnapishtim for his disobedience, Enlil, King of the gods, granted the mortal eternal life and banished him to the island of Dilmun. Thousands of years later, when Sinbad the Sailor is shipwrecked and arrives on that very same island, the two begin a conversation about courage, loss, salvation and sacrifice.
Following Calasso's masterful retelling of ancient Greek myths in The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony and Indic myths in Ka, this richly imaginative work delves into the crucible of our collective consciousness to reimagine the origin stories of one of the earliest human civilizations.

Creatures of the Night
Milena, an obedient teenager, has to team up with the supernatural creatures she was taught to fear in order to escape the people she once loved...
In a world where humans must hide underground to stay safe from the creatures who roam the night, Milena's life as an outcast is hardly worth noticing. But on the day her village is attacked and her life is spared by the mysterious Elias, Milena is forced to throw everything she thought she knew about her world out the window.
Because while Elias looks just as human as she is, he's actually the leader of a pack of wolf shifters, and the bond she feels with him compels her to start asking questions about the things she's been told about the creatures of the night. Because if her village was willing to lie about something like this, what other secrets might they be keeping from her?

Az inkvizítor - Eretnek 1. könyv
Könyvtár
A ?XIII. század végén játszódó trilógia főhőse az ifjú Lyoni Wolfgang, egy német kisnemes másodszülött fia, aki Lyonban kezdi meg teológiai tanulmányait, majd egyik professzorát követve Párizsba kerül. Wolfgangot csillapíthatatlan tudásvágy fűti, semmitől sem riad vissza, hogy az egyetem könyvtárának zárolt részlegébe is bejusson: ha kell, csalással, zsarolással, megfélemlítéssel éri el kitűzött célját.
Praktikái azonban felkeltik valakinek az érdeklődését, akitől még a mindenre elszánt ifjú is tart: Passaui Paulus inkvizítor atya elfogatja és választást kínál neki: vagy a szolgálatába áll és tanítványa lesz, vagy máglyára kerül. Wolfgang kénytelen-kelletlen rááll az alkura, és megkezdődik hosszú utazása Paulus oldalán.
Egész Európát bejárják az eretnekség nyomait keresve, Languedoctól a Fekete-erdőig, mígnem a Szentszék a Magyar Királyságba küldi őket, ahol akkor épp a Kunnak is nevezett IV. László uralkodik. Egy délvidéki eretnekfészek felderítése során azonban a katonáik elárulják őket, és a két inkvizítornak menekülnie kell – azonban előbb besenyők, majd kunok fogságába kerülnek.
Paulus egy alku révén szabadon távozhat, ám túszul kell hagynia Wolfgangot, aki ezután közel egy évet tölt a kunok között félig fogolyként, félig vendégként. Megismeri életüket, szokásaikat, a szkítai kereszténység tovább élő töredékeit, és ahogy bővül a tudása, úgy szaporodnak a kételyei saját hitével és küldetésével kapcsolatban is.
Trux Béla kiterjedt történelmi és néprajzi kutatásokon alapuló regénytrilógiájának cselekménye párhuzamosan zajlik a korábban megjelent két regényével, A templomos lovaggal és az Akkon ostromával.

The World of Natural Wine
Natural wine has nothing to hide. Made from grapes alone - organically farmed, then harvested, fermented, aged, and bottled without additives - it's wine that seeks to express, in every sip, its traditional and crucial link to nature. The World of Natural Wine is the book wine lovers need to navigate this movement - because it's about so much more than labels and vintages. Meet the obsessive, often outspoken, winemakers; learn about the regions of France where natural wine culture first appeared and continues to flourish today; and explore natural wine in Spain, Italy, Georgia, and beyond. And just as important: find out what must be "unlearned" to discover the eye-opening pleasures of drinking naturally.
Dear Evan Hansen
Read the book before you see the musical, coming to the West End Autumn 2019!
'Even in book form, Evan Hansen's story sings. Required reading, especially for anyone who's ever needed to be found' - Becky Albertalli, author of Love Simon
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today's going to be an amazing day and here's why...
When a letter that was never meant to be seen draws high school senior Evan Hansen into the Murphy family's grief over the loss of their son, he is given the chance of a lifetime: to belong.
He just has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell.
That the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend.
Suddenly, Evan isn't invisible anymore. And Connor's wealthy parents have taken him in like he was their own, desperate to know more about their enigmatic son from his 'closest friend'.
As Evan gets pulled deeper into their family, he knows that what he's doing may not be right, but if he's helping people, how wrong can it be?
No longer tangled in his once-incapacitating anxiety, this new Evan has a purpose.
He's confident. He's a viral phenomenon. Every day is amazing. But when everything is in danger of unravelling, he comes face to face with his greatest obstacle: himself.
A simple lie leads to complicated truths in this big-hearted coming-of-age story of grief, authenticity and the struggle to belong in an age of instant connectivity and profound isolation.

The Sirens of Mars
As a new wave of interplanetary exploration launches in summer 2020, a talented young planetary scientist charts our centuries-old obsession with Mars.
'Beautifully written, emotive - a love letter to a planet' DERMOT O'LEARY, BBC Radio 2
Mars - bewilderingly empty, coated in red dust - is an unlikely place to pin our hopes of finding life elsewhere. And yet, right now multiple spacecraft are circling, sweeping over Terra Sabaea, Syrtis Major, the dunes of Elysium and Mare Sirenum - on the brink, perhaps, of a discovery that would inspire humankind as much as any in our history.
With poetic precision and grace, Sarah Stewart Johnson traces the evocative history of our explorations of Mars. She interlaces her personal journey as a scientist with tales of other seekers - from Galileo to William Herschel to Carl Sagan - who have scoured this enigmatic planet for signs of life and transformed it in our understanding from a distant point of light into a complex world. Ultimately, she shows how its story is also a story about Earth: it is a foil, a mirror, a tell-tale reflection of our own anxieties and yearnings to find - if we're lucky - that we're not alone.
'Elegantly written and boundlessly entertaining' Sunday Telegraph
'Beguiling' The Times
'Johnson's prose swirls with lyrical wonder, as varied and multi-hued as the apricot deserts, butterscotch skies and blue sunsets of Mars' Anthony Doerr, New York Times Book Review
'Elegantly crafted' Lord Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal

The End of Everything
We know the universe had a beginning. But what happens at the end of the story?
With lively wit and wry humour, astrophysicist Katie Mack takes us on a mind-bending tour through each of the cosmos' possible finales: the Big Crunch, Heat Death, Vacuum Decay, the Big Rip and the Bounce. Guiding us through major concepts in quantum mechanics, cosmology, string theory and much more, she describes how small tweaks to our incomplete understanding of reality can result in starkly different futures. Our universe could collapse in upon itself, or rip itself apart, or even - in the next five minutes - succumb to an inescapable expanding bubble of doom.
This captivating story of cosmic escapism examines a mesmerizing yet unfamiliar physics landscape while sharing the excitement a leading astrophysicist feels when thinking about the universe and our place in it. Amid stellar explosions and bouncing universes, Mack shows that even though we puny humans have no chance of changing how it all ends, we can at least begin to understand it.
The End of Everything is a wildly fun, surprisingly upbeat ride to the farthest reaches of all that we know.
