The End of the Story
This is the first and only novel by Lydia Davis, winner of the Man Booker International Prize 2013. 'It surprised me, over and over, to find that I was with such a young man. He was twenty-two when I met him. He turned twenty-three while I knew him,
but by the time I turned thirty-five I did not know where he was anymore.' Mislabelled boxes, confusing notes, wrong turnings - such are the obstacles in the way of the unnamed narrator of The End of the Story as she organises her memories of a love
affair into a novel. With compassion, wit and what seems to be candour, she seeks to determine what she actually knows about herself and her past, but we begin to suspect, along with her, that given the elusiveness of memory and understanding, any tale retrieved from the past must be fiction. Back in print at last, this is Lydia Davis' first - and so far only - novel. "Extraordinary". (Newsday). "Brilliant". (New Yorker). "Breathtakingly elegant". (Details). "Beautifully written". (Marie Claire)
. "Astonishing". (Elle). Lydia Davis is the author of Collected Stories, one novel and six short story collections, most recently Can't and Won't. She is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and was named an Officer of the Order of Arts and Letter
s by the French government for her fiction and her translations of modern writers, including Gustave Flaubert and Marcel Proust. She won the Man Booker International Prize in 2013.

Perennial Seller
The book that Inc. says "every entrepreneur should read" and an FT Book of the Month selection... How did the movie The Shawshank Redemption fail at the box office but go on to gross more than $100 million as a cult classic? How did The 48 Laws of Power miss the bestseller lists for more than a decade and still sell more than a million copies? How is Iron Maiden still filling stadiums worldwide without radio or TV exposure forty years after the band was founded? Bestselling author and marketer Ryan Holiday calls such works and artists perennial sellers. How do they endure and thrive while most books, movies, songs, video games, and pieces of art disappear quickly after initial success? How can we create and market creative works that achieve longevity? Holiday explores this mystery by drawing on his extensive experience working with businesses and creators such as Google, American Apparel, and the author John Grisham, as well as his interviews with the minds behind some of the greatest perennial sellers of our time. His fascinating examples include: - Rick Rubin, producer for Adele, Jay-Z, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who teaches his artists to push past short-term thinking and root their work in long-term inspiration. - Tim Ferriss, whose books have sold millions of copies, in part because he rigorously tests every element of his work to see what generates the strongest response. - Seinfeld, which managed to capture both the essence of the nineties and timeless themes to become a modern classic. - Harper Lee, who transformed a muddled manuscript into To Kill a Mockingbird with the help of the right editor and feedback. - Winston Churchill, Stefan Zweig, and Lady Gaga, who each learned the essential tenets of building a platform of loyal, dedicated supporters. Holiday reveals that the key to success for many perennial sellers is that their creators don't distinguish between the making and the marketing. The product's purpose and audience are in the creator's mind from day one. By thinking holistically about the relationship between their audience and their work, creators of all kinds improve the chances that their offerings will stand the test of time.

Hand of the Kings Evil
The Kingdom of Outremer was forged from the hot blood and cold steel of battle, but a fragile peace has come at last. Still, the threat of war stalks its borders and heresy lurks within, the poison seeping from its own renegade state of Surayon. Juli
anne, already wife to a lord of Outremer, has married the kingdom's greatest enemy, Hasan -- war-leader of the mighty Sharai tribes. Kidnapped on her wedding night, she is held captive in an abandoned castle, the lure for a trap whose intended prey i
s far from clear. As Julianne's friends rush to her rescue, Hasan follows them with his whole army in pursuit. An army of the poor is also marching to an uncertain end, following a preacher with a blessed relic and a gift for miracles. And as the rig
hteous rise to cleanse Outremer, all paths converge on the vanished state of Surayon -- whose borders can only be breached by treachery and blood. Hand of the King's Evil is the dramatic conclusion to a spellbinding fantasy epic.

Embers
Originally published in 1942 and now rediscovered to international acclaim, this taut and exquisitely structured novel by the Hungarian master Sandor Marai conjures the melancholy glamour of a decaying empire and the disillusioned wisdom of its last heirs.
In a secluded woodland castle an old General prepares to receive a rare visitor, a man who was once his closest friend but who he has not seen in forty-one years. Over the ensuing hours host and guest will fight a duel of words and silences, accusations and evasions.
They will exhume the memory of their friendship and that of the Generals beautiful, long-dead wife. And they will return to the time the three of them last sat together following a hunt in the nearby forest--a hunt in which no game was taken but during which something was lost forever. Embers is a classic of modern European literature, a work whose poignant evocation of the past also seems like a prophetic glimpse into the moral abyss of the present

Pokoljárás
Sven Hassel, a háborús irodalom legismertebb élő képviselője 1917-ben született Dániában. A nagy gazdasági világválság idején Németországba emigrált, ahol önkéntesként beállt a hadseregbe. Innen Lengyelország lerohanása után (1939) dezertált, de elfogták és koncentrációs táborba küldték. A biztos halál elől az menekítette meg, hogy besorozták az Oroszországba induló büntetőezredbe, amellyel szinte az összes európai fronton megfordult - és megjárta a poklot.
1944-et írunk, a németek lassan visszavonulnak. Rendhagyó hőseinket, Portát és társait azonban Varsó alá vezénylik, hogy vérbe fojtsák az ott kialakult ellenállást. A 30 ezer katonával szemben a lengyeleknek jó esélyük lenne, de a német hadsereg váratlan utánpótlást kap: mivel a hadra fogható férfiak elfogytak, újabb börtönlakók érkeznek. Portáéknak és a többi szerencsétlen közkatonának ugyan elege van már a háborúból, de ezt a véres csatát még meg kell vívniuk, s ők is tudják: a feladatban nincs semmi hősies. Sven Hassel éles hangú, morbid humorral tálalt regényével az életműkiadás a 9. kötethez érkezett.

Fagyhalál
Sven Hassel, a háborús irodalom legismertebb élő képviselője 1917-ben született Dániában. A nagy gazdasági világválság idején Németországba emigrált, ahol önkéntesként beállt a hadseregbe. Innen Lengyelország lerohanása után (1939) dezertált, de elfogták és koncentrációs táborba küldték. A biztos halál elől az menekítette meg, hogy besorozták az Oroszországba induló büntetőezredbe, amellyel szinte az összes európai fronton megfordult - és megjárta a poklot.
1941 ősze: Hitler katonái ostromot indítanak Moszkva ellen, de a várt villámsiker elmarad. Beköszönt a hideg évszak, és az átlag német gyalogos, akinek gyors hazamenetelt ígértek, téli hadviselésre alkalmatlan öltözékben és befagyott fegyverekkel nyomul előre, lassú, véres küzdelmek árán, melyet az orosz túlerővel szemben vív. A technikai fölény jelentőségét veszti, és a német közkatonák egy idő után nem remélik, hogy a Kreml hagymakupoláit valaha is megpillantják. Ismét találkozunk a Hassel-regények félvilági hőseivel, Portával, Picivel és a többiekkel, akik ezúttal a reménytelenül hosszúra nyúlt küzdelmet és az oroszországi fagyokat próbálják túlélni.

The Industries of the Future
This book answers the question: 'What's next?' The Internet had a world-changing impact on businesses and the global community over the twenty years from 1994 to 2014. In the next ten years, change will happen even faster. As Hillary Clinton's Senior Advisor for Innovation, Alec Ross travelled nearly a million miles to forty-one countries, the equivalent of two round-trips to the moon. From refugee camps in the Congo and Syrian war zones, to visiting the world's most powerful people in business and government, Ross's travels amounted to a four-year masterclass in the changing nature of innovation. In The Industries of the Future, Ross distils his observations on the forces that are changing the world. He highlights the best opportunities for progress and explains how countries thrive or sputter. Ross examines the specific fields that will most shape our economic future over the next ten years, including robotics, artificial intelligence, the commercialization of genomics, cybercrime and the impact of digital technology. Blending storytelling and economic analysis, he answers questions on how we will need to adapt. Ross gives readers a vivid and informed perspective on how sweeping global trends are affecting the ways we live, now and tomorrow.

Who Was Frank Lloyd Wright?
Born in Wisconsin in 1867, Frank Lloyd Wright became obsessed with a set of building blocks his mother had given to him on his ninth birthday. He grew up to become the father of organic architecture and the greatest American architect of all time, having designed more than 1,100 buildings during his lifetime. These included private homes such as the stunning Fallingwater, churches, temples, a hotel, and the world-famous Guggenheim Museum in New York City. When asked how he could create so many designs, he answered, I can t get them out fast enough. Frank Lloyd Wright was a man ahead of his time who could barely keep up with his own ideas!"
