A szövés alapjai szövőkereten
A szövőkeret a szövőszékek családjának legegyszerűbb tagja, és mint ilyen, a legtökéletesebb eszköz az alapvető technikák elsajátítására, amelyekkel a könyvben szereplő útmutatókon és modell-leírásokon keresztül fogunk megismerkedni. Ne szegje kedvünket, ha a szövésünk elsőre laza, hézagos, egyenetlen szélű, csálé vagy mintájában hibás lesz. Tanuljuk meg szeretni ezeket a tökéletlenségeket, amelyek a szövés világában megtett útvonalunkat rajzolják ki, és gondoljunk arra, hogy fogyatkozásuk a szövéstudásunk fejlődését tükrözi. Időbe telik, amíg megtanuljuk szabályozni a vetülék feszességét és sűrűségét, és rutin kell ahhoz is, hogy megfelelően tudjunk bánni az általunk választott alapanyagokkal. Ízlelgessük a tudatát annak, hogy egy olyan mesterség hagyományait folytatjuk, amelyet az emberiség már majdnem 10 000 éve művel megszakítás nélkül, és ami a kulturális örökség szerves része a világ minden táján.

Chernobyl - History of a Tragedy
*WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2018*
'As moving as it is painstakingly researched. . . a cracking read' Viv Groskop, Observer
On 26 April 1986 at 1.23am a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine exploded. While the authorities scrambled to understand what was occurring, workers, engineers, firefighters and those living in the area were abandoned to their fate. The blast put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation, contaminating over half of Europe with radioactive fallout.
In Chernobyl, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy draws on recently opened archives to recreate these events in all their drama. A moment by moment account of the heroes, perpetrators and victims of a tragedy, Chernobyl is the first full account of a gripping, unforgettable Cold War story.
'A compelling history of the 1986 disaster and its aftermath . . . plunges the reader into the sweaty, nervous tension of the Chernobyl control room on that fateful night when human frailty and design flaws combined to such devastating effect' Daniel Beer, Guardian
'Haunting ... near-Tolstoyan. His voice is humane and inflected with nostalgia' Roland Elliott Brown, Spectator
'Extraordinary, vividly written, powerful storytelling ... the first full-scale history of the world's worst nuclear disaster, one of the defining moments in the Cold War, told minute by minute' Victor Sebestyen Sunday Times
'Plays out like a classical tragedy ... fascinating' Julian Evans, Daily Telegraph
'Here at last is the monumental history the disaster deserves' Julie McDowall, The Times

Staring at God: Britain in the Great War
The Great War evokes images of barbed wire and mud-filled trenches, and of the carnage of the Somme and Passchendaele, but it also involved change on the home front on an almost revolutionary scale. In his hugely ambitious and deeply researched new book, Simon Heffer explores how Britain was drawn into this slaughter, and was then transformed to fight a war in which, at times, its very future seemed in question. After a vivid account of the fraught conversations between Whitehall and Britain's embassies across Europe as disaster loomed in July 1914, Heffer explains why a government so desperate to avoid conflict found itself championing it.
He describes the high politics and low skulduggery that saw the principled but passive Asquith replaced as prime minister by the unscrupulous but energetic Lloyd George; and he unpicks the arguments between politicians and generals about how to prosecute the war, which raged until the final offensive. He looks at the impact of four years of struggle on everyday life as people sought to cope with dwindling stocks of food and essential supplies, with conscription into the Army or wartime industries, with air-raids and with the ever-present threat of bereavement; and, in Ireland, with the political upheaval that followed the Easter Rising. And he shows how, in the spring of 1918, political obstinacy and incompetence saw all this sacrifice almost thrown away.
Throughout, he complements his analysis with vivid portraits of the men and women who shaped British life during the war - soldiers such as Lord Kitchener, politicians such as Churchill, pacifists such as Lady Ottoline Morrell, and overmighty subjects such as the press magnate Lord Northcliffe. The result is a richly nuanced picture of an era that endured suffering and loss on an appalling scale but that also advanced the emancipation of women, notions of better health care and education, and pointed the way to a less deferential, more egalitarian future.

Morgoth's Ring
The first of two companion volumes which documents the later writing of The Silmarillion, Tolkien's epic tale of war. After the The Lord of the Rings was at last achieved, J R R Tolkien turned his attention once again to 'the Matter of the Elder Days'. The text of the Annals of Aman, the 'Blessed Land' in the far West, is given in full; while in writings hitherto unknown is seen the nature of the problems that Tolkien explored in his later years, as new and radical ideas, portending upheaval in the old narratives, emerged at the heart of the mythology, and as the destinies of Men and Elves, mortals and immortals, ecame of central significance, together with a vastly enlarged perception of the evil of Melkor, the Shadow upon Arda. The second part of this history of the later Silmarillion is concerned with developments in the legends of Beleriand after the completion of The Lord of the Rings.

Pamela: Or Virtue Rewarded (Oxford World´s Classics)
One of the most spectacular successes of the flourishing literary marketplace of eighteenth-century London, Pamela also marked a defining moment in the emergence of the modern novel. In the words of one contemporary, it divided the world "into two different Parties, Pamelists and Anti-pamelists," even eclipsing the sensational factional politics of the day. Preached for its morality, and denounced as pornography in disguise, it vividly describes a young servant's long resistance to the attempts of her predatory master to seduce her. Written in the voice of its low-born heroine, Pamela is not only a work of pioneering psychological complexity, but also a compelling and provocative study of power and its abuse.Based on the original text of 1740, from which Richardson later retreated in a series of defensive revisions, this edition makes available the version of Pamela that aroused such widespread controversy on its first appearance.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

A csönd ereje - A zaj diktatúrájával szemben
Egyre hangosabb világunkban, amikor a technika és az anyagi javak nagyobb teret követelnek maguknak,
szinte merészségnek számít könyvet írni a csöndről. Mindamellett annyi zaj zúdul ránk, hogy néhány "csöppnyi" csöndre nagyobb szükségünk van, mint valaha.
Robert Sarah bíboros arra vállalkozott, hogy e könyv lapjain fennkölt szavait a csöndnek szentelje, útmutatót
nyújtva szerzeteseknek és laikusoknak egyaránt. A 365 elmélkedést egy rendhagyó beszélgetés követi dom Dysmas de Lassusszal, a Grande Chartreuse (Nagy Karthauzi Kolostor) priorjával.
A Nicolas Diat-val folytatott beszélgetésben a bíboros felteszi azt a kérdést is:
"Rátalálhatnak-e az igazságra, a szépségre és a szeretetre, akik nem ismerik a csöndet?" Válasza kétségbevonhatatlan: "A nagy dolgok csöndben teljesednek be. Isten a csöndben cselekszik."

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.

A Habsburg Birodalom nagystratégiája
Az amerikai szerző tagadhatatlanul más szemüvegen át nézi Rákóczi kurucait és az osztrák központosító törekvésekkel szembeni egész nemesi ellenállást, mint ahogy mi itthon látjuk, és ezzel ráirányítja figyelmünket arra, hogy idővel a "magyar virtus" is szerepet játszott a Habsburg Birodalom megingatásában. Persze kerüli a szerecsenmosdatást, és nem rehabilitálja a bécsi udvar túlkapásait, de jobban kidomborítja a gondokat, amelyekkel az uralkodóháznak szembesülnie kellett. Mesél németekről, magyarokról, csehekről, olaszokról, valamint a megannyi más nemzetet és nemzetiséget egyetlen birodalomba kovácsoló monarchia belső nehézségeiről, továbbá a törökök, franciák, oroszok és poroszok jelentette külső kihívásokról egyaránt.
A. Wess Mitchell képet ad arról, mi tette az európai történelemben párját ritkítóvá a régi Ausztriát, de nem titkolja azt sem, hogy elkerülhető lett volna a mind gazdasági, mind kulturális téren virágzó Osztrák-Magyar Monarchia bukása is. Ezenkívül sejtetni engedi, hogy a Habsburg Birodalom felbomlásával egy olyan hatalmi űr támadt Közép-Európában, amely nehéz helyzetbe hozta a régió kisebb nemzeteit, és amelyet még a visegrádi országok mai együttműködése sem bír betölteni.

A lánykérés
1958. A tizennyolc éves Georgia Hamiltont Londonba küldik a társaságba bevezetendő ifjú hölgyek, az "első bálozók" szezonjára, ám a független szellemű lány, akinek titkos álma, hogy író legyen, egyáltalán nem óhajt részt venni a férjfogási versenyben. Amikor azonban bekövetkezik egy tragédia, Georgia sorsa megpecsételődik. 2012. A szerelméhez siető Amy Carrell azt reméli, hogy a mai este megváltoztatja a sorsát. Így is történik - csak nem egészen úgy, ahogyan képzelte. A lesújtott lány mindenáron el akar szabadulni Londonból, ezért egy újsághirdetésre válaszolva elvállalja az útitárs szerepét egy rejtélyes idegen hölgy mellett, aki Manhattanbe akar utazni. Nem is sejti, hogy útközben felfed egy szerelmi történetet, amely ötven éve vár arra, hogy elmeséljék - és megnyit egy szívet, amely arra vár, hogy ismét életre kelhessen... "Elbűvölő mese a második esélyről a modern Manhattanben és az ötvenes évek Londonjában. Ellenállhatatlan, letehetetlen könyv." Marie Claire "Rég eltemetett titkok története...

Diaszpóra
Íme, az árva! Olyan világba született, amely nem is valódi. Digitális lény, akit elmemagból növesztettek, semleges nemű, virtuális polgár szondák, műholdak és szerverek végtelen hálózatában, mely átszövi az egész Naprendszert a külső bolygóktól a Nap háborgó felszínéig.
A XXI. századi Introdus óta az emberiség drasztikus változásokat eszközölt önmagán. A legtöbben a halhatatlanságot választották, csatlakoztak a poliszokhoz, tudatos szoftverekké váltak. Mások a gleiznerlét mellett döntöttek: eldobható, felújítható robottestekbe költözve nem vesztették el a kapcsolatot az erők és a súrlódás fizikai világával. Sokan közülük végleg elhagyták a Naprendszert fúziós meghajtású űrhajóikkal. És vannak, akik a végsőkig kitartanak. Ők a Föld sarában és dzsungeleiben hátramaradt húsvérek: egyesek álommajmokká sorvadtak, mások a tengerben lubickolnak vagy a levegőben repdesnek, a statikusok és a hídverők pedig élhető emberi sorsot próbálnak kovácsolni maguknak.
A polgárok gondtalan nyugalmának azonban egy csapásra vége szakad, amikor egy nem várt katasztrófa éri a húsvéreket, mely arra enged következtetni, hogy a poliszok jövőjét a természet törvényeinek fittyet hányó, bizarr asztrofizikai folyamatok fenyegetik. Így hát az árva polgárok és húsvér menekültek egy csoportjával karöltve nyomába ered a tudásnak, amely egyedül szavatolhatja a biztonságukat...
