The 'hypnotic...addictive' (New York Times) debut novel narrated by a young woman meditating on the malleable, breakable bonds keeping her family from falling apart.
There's a superstition in our family about falling...
Marta's great-great-grandfather Jirí was said to have given a gentle push to the back of a stonemason for having wronged him. The stonemason fell to his death and the family fled Prague for the American Midwest, where they set up a new life.
So begins the story of Marta and her brother Nick, deeply interwoven twins haunted by the mysterious curse that has plagued their family for centuries - one that has doomed them to suffer various types of falls. When Nick tumbles out of a window and ends up seriously injured, Marta must embark on a heartbreaking quest to discover whether or not his fall was intentional, and to stop her family from falling apart...
The Colour Of Death
It is true that many are dying from the HIV/AIDS, especially in Africa where ignorance and poor access to health facility is high; but it is equally true that many HIV positive patients are living their live to full glory in spite of the disease.
This collection is thus about hope in the midst of despair, faith in the midst of challenging social environments and the victory of life over the treat of death.

Black Wind, White Snow
A powerful strain of Russian nationalism now lies at the heart of the Kremlin's political thinking: "Eurasianism". But how did this dangerous ideology, once a fringe theory, come to dominate Moscow's elite?
Promoted most notably in recent years by Alexander Dugin, this theory has become the driving force behind the invasion of Ukraine and the perplexing manoeuvrings of Putin's Russia. In this fascinating investigation, Charles Clover, an award-winning journalist, traces Eurasianism's origins in the writings of White Russian exiles in 1920s Europe, through Siberia's Gulag archipelago in the 1950s, the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, and up to its steady infiltration of the governing elite.
Based on extensive research and dozens of interviews with Putin's close advisers, this eye-opening account is essential reading to understand Russia's past century - and the dangers of our present political moment.

A pelikán
Jugoszlávia végnapjai, egy tengerparti városka pangó kisvilága. A holland Martin Michael Driessen történetében két férfi zsarolja egymást névtelenül: Andrej, a melák postás és a Monarchia korabeli kábelvasút mindenese, Josip. Mit sem sejtve a másik machinációiról, tettes és áldozat, áldozat és tettes lassanként közel kerülnek egymáshoz.
Míg hősei az alvajárók biztonságával csetlenek és botlanak, olvasója pedig beleszédül a cselekmény abszurdabbnál abszurdabb fordulataiba, Driessen magabiztosan zsonglőrködik stílussal és regénykompozícióval, időkezeléssel és jelenetezéssel, hol a 19. századi elbeszélők ráérősségét idézve, hol a burleszkfilmek zaklatott vágásait. Csak a legvégére ocsúdunk fel - amikor már utolsó figuráját is elejtette.
Helyszín és hangulat - a kisvárosban időző egzotikus madarak ellenére - ismerős lehet a közép- és kelet-európai irodalmon edzett olvasó számára. Ám ahogy a holland író tollán a talált elemekből egyszerre lesz csavaros és mély értelmű példázat és roppant szórakoztató történet jó és rossz, szerencse és balszerencse, (ön)ismeret és vakság határainak elbizonytalanodásáról, az egészen egyedülálló teljesítmény.
Martin Michael Driessen (1954) hosszú időn át opera- és színházi rendezőként dolgozott Németországban. Negyvenöt éves korában jelent meg első könyve, a Gars című lovagtörténet, amelyet újabb regények és novellák követtek, többek között a rangos ECI díjjal kitüntetett Rivieren, mely hamarosan ugyancsak olvasható lesz magyarul.
The Chaperone (Film Tie-in)
Soon to be a feature film from the creators of Downton Abbey
On a summer's day in 1922, Cora Carlisle boards a train from Wichita, Kansas, to New York City, charged with the care of a stunningly beautiful young girl with a jet-black bob and wisdom way beyond her fifteen years.
The girl is Louise Brooks and, for her, New York offers a chance of stardom beneath the bright lights of Broadway. For Cora, whose formative years were spent at The New York Home for Friendless Girls, the trip offers the opportunity to discover the truth about her past. It will also, although she doesn't realize it yet, offer her the chance for a very different future.
Set in a time of illicit thrills and daring glamour, a time when prohibition reigns and speakeasies thrive behind closed doors, The Chaperone tells Cora's story as she finally discovers who she is and - more importantly - who she wants to be.

The Khan
Be twice as good as men and four times as good as white men.
Jia Khan has always lived like this.
Successful London lawyer Jia Khan is a long way from the Northern streets she knew as a child, where her father, Akbar Khan, led the Pakistani community and ran the local organised crime syndicate. Often his Jirga rule - the old way - was violent and bloody, but it was always justice of a kind.
Now, with her father murdered, Jia must return to take his place. The police have always relied on the Khan to maintain the fragile order of the streets. But a bloody power struggle has broken out among warring communities and nobody is safe.
Justice needs to be restored, and Jia is about to discover that justice always comes at a cost.
Life as We Made It
A Times Best Book of 2021
From the very first dog to glowing fish and designer pigs - the human history of remaking nature.
Virus-free mosquitoes, resurrected dinosaurs, designer humans - such is the power of the science of tomorrow. But the idea that humans have only recently begun to tinker with the natural world is false. We've been meddling with nature since the last ice age, and we're getting a lot better at it. Drawing on decades of research, Beth Shapiro reveals the surprisingly long history of human intervention in evolution - for good and for ill - and looks ahead to the future, casting aside scaremongering myths about the dangers of interference. New biotechnologies can present us with the chance to improve our own lives, and increase the likelihood that we will continue to live in a rich and biologically diverse world.

From Where We Came
Did you know that a significant percentage of us are part Neanderthal in our genetic makeup?
So, were they as smart as we are? Why and how are we different? Could we talk to them? Or more interestingly, did we? What do these questions have to do with "from where we came?”
A comprehensive overview of how we came to be.
If you're searching for answers and tired of information overload from the media, you are not alone. Fortunately, despite all the noise, evolution boils down to a few physics and math principles. A significant part of the basic process by which we evolved from molecules can be summed up with math similar to the process of boarding a city bus. Through pop culture references, personal experiences, humor, graphics, and common sense, let's explore this topic through one physicist's eyes, wrapped in plain English. We will dive through evolution at the molecular and human levels connected by cause and effect. Follow along as we explore how humans have survived and even prospered, against all odds, through millions of years. It should become apparent that we are all alike in every way, except for minute differences in our genes. We cannot help but be motivated to find ways to better ourselves as a species. We are all blood brothers and sisters, all 7.8 billion of us, after all.

Disney - Arisztocicák - Itt cukrászda nyílik!
Három kiscica, Berlioz, Toulouse és Marie egy elgurult labdát követve rábukkan a párizsi állatok egykori kedvenc találkozóhelyére, a Mancsos Kávézóra. Sajnos a finom fogásairól is híres kávézó elhagyatottan áll, asztalait por lepi, pedig micsoda történetek keringenek róla!
A kiscicák elhatározzák, hogy rendbe szedik, és újranyitják a helyet. Igen ám, de ahhoz, hogy ez sikerüljön, meg kell egyezniük, mert egyikük jazzklubot, a másikuk galériát, a harmadik pedig cukrászdát szeretni nyitni. Végül rájönnek, hogy ha összefognak, mindenkinek teljesülhet az álma!
A rejtélyekkel, barátsággal és sok humorral teli történetben folytatódtak a Macskarisztokraták című Disney-filmből megismert macskák kalandjai, ám a főszerepet ezúttal a három kiscica kapja!

Mindenki titkol valamit

Tudod, hogy nem mond igazat.De te sem.
"Fenyegető és sokkoló, mégis szívhez szóló."Nicci French
Két nő a Willowmead House-ban.Az egyik menekül.A másik bujkál.Mindkettő hazudik.
Emily egyszer rossz döntést hozott, és most lehet, hogy vége a karrierjének. Cornwallban, a tengerparton található családi otthon az egyetlen hely, ahol biztonságban érzi magát.
De amikor megérkezik, egy idegen nő él ott az apjával. Emily nem bízik a szép fiatal nőben, meg van róla győződve, hogy a nő szemrebbenés nélkül hazudik.
Emily kíváncsisága megszállottsággá erősödik: muszáj kideríteni az igazságot.
Azonban vannak titkok, amelyek jobb, ha soha nem kerülnek felszínre.

FTSE
They are just four letters on an electronic ticker tape, but FTSE has become a byword for money, power, influence and - crucially, after numerous financial crises - trust.
How this organisation, FTSE International, brought order to the financial system over several decades, is a story of how capitalism globalized and a data revolution transformed the investment industry. It is a story of how a team of innovators seized an opportunity to build a business that today leads its field and guides the fortunes of an astonishing $16 trillion of funds. It is a story that Mark Makepeace, founding Chief Executive of FTSE International, knows better than anybody.
FTSE is a ringside seat on some of the biggest deals and biggest personalities in business and global politics, chronicling how the FTSE 100 was born, behind-the-scenes rows with chief executives of some of the world's largest companies, political in-fighting, diplomatic incidents, and the ferocious dealmaking that followed over 35 years of market boom and bust.
'FTSE is a story which should inform and fascinate anyone interested in capital markets.' Sir Donald Brydon, CBE
