Mansfield Park
Taken from the poverty of her parents' home in Portsmouth, Fanny Price is brought up with her rich cousins at Mansfield Park, acutely aware of her humble rank and with her cousin Edmund as her sole ally. During her uncle's absence in Antigua, the Cra
wford's arrive in the neighbourhood bringing with them the glamour of London life and a reckless taste for flirtation. "Mansfield Park" is considered Jane Austen's first mature work and, with its quiet heroine and subtle examination of social positio
n and moral integrity, one of her most profound.Upozornenie: Vzhľadom na častejšie obmeny vydaní tejto knihy v zahraničí, kus, ktorý vám zašleme, nemusí mať rovnakú obálku ako je zobrazená tu. Zobrazená obálka môže byť iba ilustračná. Obsah knihy aj

Sherlock Holmes - The Complete Stories
It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

Miseducation of Cameron Post
Now a major motion picture starring Chloë Grace Moretz * Sundance Grand Jury Prize Winner
"LGBTQ cinema is out in force at Sundance Film Festival," proclaimed USA Today. "The acerbic coming-of-age movie is adapted from Emily M. Danforth's novel, and stars Chloë Grace Moretz as a lesbian teen who is sent to a gay conversion therapy center after she gets caught having sex with her friend on prom night."
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and provocative literary debut that was named to numerous best of the year lists.
When Cameron Post's parents die suddenly in a car crash, her shocking first thought is relief. Relief they'll never know that, hours earlier, she had been kissing a girl.
But that relief doesn't last, and Cam is forced to move in with her conservative aunt Ruth and her well-intentioned but hopelessly old-fashioned grandmother. She knows that from this point on, her life will forever be different. Survival in Miles City, Montana, means blending in and leaving well enough alone, and Cam becomes an expert at both.
Then Coley Talor moves to town. Beautiful, pickup-driving Coley is a perfect cowgirl with the perfect boyfriend to match. She and Cam forge an unexpected and intense friendship, one that seems to leave room for something more to emerge. But just as that starts to seem like a real possibility, Aunt Ruth takes drastic action to "fix" her niece, bringing Cam face-to-face with the cost of denying her true self--even if she's not quite sure who that is.Don't miss this raw and powerful own voices debut, the basis for the award-winning film starring Chloë Grace Moretz.
Butcher, Blacksmith, Acrobat, Sweep
Full of adventure, mishaps and audacious attempts at cheating, the first Tour de France in 1903 was a colourful affair. Its riders included characters like Maurice Garin, an Italian-born Frenchman, said to have been swapped for a round of cheese by his parents in order to smuggle him into France to clean chimneys as a teenager, Hippolyte Aucouturier with his trademark handlebar moustache, and amateurs like Jean Dargassies, a blacksmith who had never raced before. Dreamed up to revive struggling newspaper L'Auto, cyclists of the time were wary of this 'heroic' race on roads more suited to hooves than wheels, riding hefty fixed-gear bikes for three full weeks. 'With a few francs you could win 3,000', the paper declared in desperation, eventually attracting a field comprising a handful of the era's professional racers and, among other hopefuls, a butcher, painter and decorator, and a circus acrobat. Would this ramshackle pack of cyclists draw crowds to throng France's rutted roads and cheer the first Tour heroes? Surprisingly it did, and, all thanks to a marketing ruse, cycling would never be the same again. Peter Cossins takes us through the inaugural Tour de France, painting a nuanced portrait of France in the early 1900s, to see where the greatest sporting event of all began.

Metamorphosis and Other Stories
When the young salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning transformed into a monstrous insect, his shock and incomprehension are coupled with the panic of being late for work and having to reveal his appearance to family and colleagues. Although over the following weeks he gradually becomes used to this new existence confined within the bounds of the apartment, and his parents and sister adapt to living with a grotesque bug, Gregor notices that their attitudes towards him are changing and he feels increasingly alienated. One of the masterpieces of twentieth-century world literature, 'The Metamorphosis' is accompanied in this volume by a selection of other classic tales and sketches by Kafka - such as 'The Judgement', 'In the Penal Colony' and 'A Country Doctor' - all presented in a lively and meticulous new translation by Christopher Moncrieff.
Milu Egyiptomban - Most én olvasok! 1.szint
A Most én olvasok!-sorozat elindításával a Pagony régi vágya teljesült: egy szisztematikusan felépített, pedagógusi szakértelemmel megtámogatott kortárs, magyar "olvasni tanulok"-sorozatot szerettünk volna létrehozni.
A Pagony legkiválóbb szerzőit kéri fel a sorozatban való részvételre: minden szerző négy könyvet ír, négy különböző nehézségi szinten. A történetek lazán összefüggnek egymással, de természetesen önállóan is olvashatók. A sorozatot Berg Judit könyveivel indítottuk, és most Finy Petra köteteivel folytatjuk - a főszereplőnk ezúttal Milu, egy elsős kisfiú és Bátor, egy kiskutya. Bátor igazából sárkány, sőt, időutazó sárkány! Az első mesében az ókori Egyiptomba repíti Milut, hogy megmentsék a fáraót.

Elveszett lelkek otthona
Jóváteheti-e a szeretet a jóvátehetetlent?
Az 1950-es években járunk a kanadai Québecben, ahol az angol és francia közösségek együttélése csak látszólag harmonikus, a mélyben súlyos feszültségek húzódnak.
A tizenöt éves Maggie Hughes angol apja sem szíveli a franciákat, s mindenáron meg akarja akadályozni, hogy Maggie a szomszédos farmon élő francia fiúhoz menjen feleségül. Így amikor Maggie teherbe esik, a szülei ráveszik, hogy mondjon le a kislányról, s az újszülött Elodie árvaházba kerül.
A kislány amúgy sem könnyű sorsa újabb tragikus fordulatot vesz, amikor a nagyobb állami támogatás miatt a gyermekotthont, ahol él, elmegyógyintézetté, a több ezer állami gondozott gyermeket pedig értelmi fogyatékossá nyilvánítják.
Van-e szabadulás ebből a kilátástalan helyzetből? Túl lehet-e élni egy léleknyomorító intézmény megaláztatásait, és létezhet-e feloldozás és megnyugvás egy anya számára, aki ilyen helyzetbe taszította gyermekét?
Joanna Goodman valós eseményeken alapuló regénye szívbe markoló és felemelő történet az anya-lánya kötelék megbonthatatlanságáról, s megrázó pillanatfelvétel Kanada történelmének egyik sötét időszakáról.
Joanna Goodman kanadai írónő ötödik regénye, az Elveszett lelkek otthona 2018-ban jelent meg, és óriási kritikai visszhangot váltott ki. A 20. század közepén a québéci hatóságok a katolikus egyház közreműködésével körülbelül húszezer árva gyereket nyilvánítottak értelmi fogyatékossá a nagyobb állami támogatás reményében. A tartomány akkori vezetője után magukat Duplessis-árváknak nevező károsultaknak az ügy kirobbanását követően a kanadai kormány jóvátételt fizetett.

Hopper
Edward Hopper (1882-1967) is considered as one of the first important American painters in 20th century art. After decades of patient work, Hopper enjoyed a success and popularity that since the 1950s has continually grown. In canvas after canvas he painted the loneliness of urban people. Many of Hopper's pictures represent views of streets and roads, rooftops, and abandoned houses, depicted in a brilliant light that strangely belies the melancholy mood of the scenes. Hopper's paintings are marked by striking juxtapositions of color, and by the clear contours with which the figures are demarcated from their surroundings. His extremely precise focus on the theme of modern men and women in the natural and man-made environment sometimes lends his pictures a mood of eerie disquiet. On the other hand, Hopper's renderings of rocky landscapes in warm brown hues, or his depictions of the seacoast, exude an unusual tranquillity that reveals another, more optimistic side of his character.

It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet
Lesson number one: When taking a cow's temperature the old-fashioned way, never let go of the thermometer ...Now firmly ensconced in the sleepy Yorkshire village of Darrowby, recently qualified vet James Herriot has acclimatised to life with his unpredictable colleagues, brothers Siegfried and Tristan Farnon. But veterinary practice in the 1930s was never going to be easy, and there are challenges on the horizon, from persuading his clients to let him use his 'modern' equipment, to becoming an uncle (to a pig called Nugent). Throw in his first encounters with Helen, the beautiful daughter of a local farmer, and this year looks to be as eventful as the last...From the author whose books inspired the BBC series All Creatures Great and Small, It Shouldn't Happen to a Vet is a book for all those who find laughter and joy in animals, and who know and understand the magic and beauty of Britain's wild places. 'I grew up reading James Herriot's books and I'm delighted that thirty years on, they are still every bit as charming, heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny as they were then' Kate Humble He can tell a good story against himself, and his pleasure in the beauty of the countryside in which he works is infectious' Daily Telegraph 'Full of warmth, wisdom and wit' The Field
