The Ticket Collector from Belarus
'Brilliantly gripping' Sunday Times; 'Compelling' Daily Mail; 'Heart-rending' Sunday Telegraph; 'Excellent' The Times; 'Engrossing' Independent
The UK's only war crimes trial took place in 1999 and had its origins in the horrors of the Holocaust, but only now in The Ticket Collector from Belarus can the full story be told.
The Ticket Collector from Belarus tells the remarkable story of two interwoven journeys. Ben-Zion Blustein and Andrei Sawoniuk were childhood friends in 1930s Domachevo, a holiday and health resort in what is now Belarus. During the events that followed the Nazi invasion in 1941, they became the bitterest of enemies. After the war, Ben-Zion made his way to Israel, and 'Andrusha the bastard' to England, where he found work as a British Rail ticket collector in London.
They next confronted each other in the Old Bailey, over half a century later, where one was the principal prosecution witness, and the other charged with a fraction of the number of murders he was alleged to have committed. There was no physical evidence, just one man's word against another, leaving the jury with a series of agonising dilemmas: Could any witness statement be trusted so long after the event? Was Andrusha a brutal killer, a hapless pawn or a scapegoat? And were his furious protests a sign of guilt or the justified anger of an innocent old man?
Mike Anderson was gripped by the story, and so began his quest to find the truth about this astonishing case and the people at its heart. As he discovered, it was even more remarkable than he could ever have imagined.

It's All About the Bike
The bicycle is one of mankind's greatest inventions - and the most popular form of transport in history. Robert Penn has ridden one most days of his adult life. In his late 20s, he pedalled 40,000 kilometres around the world. Yet, like cyclists everywhere, the utilitarian bikes he currently owns don't even hint at this devotion. Robert needs a new bike, a bespoke machine that reflects how he feels when he's riding it - like an ordinary man touching the gods.
It's All About the Bike is the story of a journey to design and build a dream bike. En route, Robert explores the culture, science and history of the bicycle. From Stoke-on-Trent, where an artisan hand builds his frame, to California, home of the mountain bike, where Robert tracks down the perfect wheels, via Portland, Milan and Coventry, birthplace of the modern bicycle, this is the narrative of our love affair with cycling. It's a tale of perfect components - parts that set the standard in reliability, craftsmanship and beauty. It tells how the bicycle has changed the course of human history, from the invention of the 'people's nag' to its role in the emancipation of women, and from the engineering marvel of the tangent-spoked wheel to the enduring allure of the Tour de France. It's the story of why we ride, and why this simple machine remains central to life today.
Beszélgetések az elmúlásról
"Az én jelszavam, hogy "Halottnak kuss!". Ami alatt azt értem, hogy aki meghal, az ne szóljon bele, hogy mi lesz utána." (Csányi Vilmos)
"Az eutanázia egyértelműen pártolandó. Természetesen arra vigyázni kell, hogy ne öldössék az embereket ezzel az ürüggyel." (Vekerdy Tamás)
Két elismert magyar gondolkodó és közéleti személyiség Révai Gábor írónak vallott az egyik legszemélyesebb és leginkább tabunak számító, de mindenkit foglalkoztató témáról: a halálról. Csányi és Vekerdy személyesen nem ismerik egymást, így megfontolandó, ugyanakkor gyakran provokatív nézeteik a kérdező közvetítésével, látatlanban csapnak össze. Bár a beszélgetések apropója az elmúlás, a két vitapartner az élet legnagyobb kérdéseit ugyanúgy érinti, mint azok hétköznapi vonatkozásait. És mi más is adhatna mindennek keretet, mint egy tartalmas beszélgetés?

Power Play : Elon Musk, Tesla and the Bet of the Century
Inside the outrageous, come-from-behind story of Elon Musk and Tesla's bid to build the world's greatest car and the race to drive the future.
Elon Musk is among the most controversial titans of Silicon Valley. To some he's a genius and a visionary and to others he's a mercurial huckster. Billions of dollars have been gained and lost on his tweets and his personal exploits are the stuff of tabloids. But for all his outrageous talk of mind-uploading and space travel, his most audacious vision is the one closest to the ground: the electric car.
When Tesla was founded in the 2000s, electric cars were novelties, trotted out and thrown on the scrap heap by carmakers for more than a century. But where most onlookers saw only failure, a small band of Silicon Valley engineers and entrepreneurs saw potential and they pitted themselves against the biggest, fiercest business rivals in the world, setting out to make a car that was quicker, sexier, smoother, cleaner than the competition.
Tesla would undergo a truly hellish fifteen years, beset by rivals, pressured by investors, hobbled by whistleblowers, buoyed by its loyal supporters. Musk himself would often prove Tesla's worst enemy--his antics repeatedly taking the company he had funded himself to the brink of collapse. Was he an underdog, an antihero, a conman, or some combination of the three?
Wall Street Journal tech and auto reporter Tim Higgins had a front-row seat for the drama: the pileups, wrestling for control, meltdowns, and the unlikeliest outcome of all, success. A story of power, recklessness, struggle, and triumph, Power Play is an exhilarating look at how a team of eccentrics and innovators beat the odds... and changed the future.
Függőség - A csillogó felszín alatt néha sötét zátonyok rejtőznek
"Néha csak egy erős ember hiányzik valakinek az életéből, aki bátorítja és utat mutat neki... Ezért vagyok én itt - mondta Ava."
A függőség veszélyes - akár az alkoholtól, akár mástól függ az életünk.
Jól tudja ezt Helen is, aki ittas vezetés miatt elveszíti a jogosítványát és nyolcéves fiának, Olivernek a felügyeleti jogát is. A magába roskadt Helen azonban életének mélypontján megismerkedik Ava és Swift Havillanddel, akik gazdagok, nagyvilági életet élnek és szívesen segítenek másokon. Helent is felkarolják: nem pusztán munkát adnak neki, de a barátjukká fogadják, sőt megígérik, hogy segítenek, hogy Helen visszakaphassa Ollie-t. Mindezért az álomvilágért Helen szívesen lemond a régi barátokról.
Alkoholfüggősége már a múlté, ám észrevétlenül egy másik függőség rabjává válik, és ahogy az alkohol nyújtotta bódulatból, úgy ebből is keserű az ébredés.

Eleven testek
R egy fiatal férfi. Éppen egzisztenciális válságban van - ő egy zombi. Keresztülverekszi magát a háborúban megsemmisült, összeomlott Amerikán, és az eszüket vesztett, éhes társai között mégis valami többre vágyik, mint vér és agyvelő. A többiekkel ellentétben ő tud beszélni - néhány felmordult szótagot ugyan, de a belső élete csupa mélység, csupa csoda és vágy. Nincsenek emlékei, nincsen személyisége, nincs pulzusa sem, de vannak álmai.
Ijesztő, vicces, és meglepően szívbemarkoló. Az Eleven testek arról szól, milyen élni vagy meghalni, és arról, hogy milyen az elmosódott határ a kettő között.
Jön! Jön! Jön! A nagysikerű regényből készült filmet John Malkovich főszereplésével április 11-én mutatják be a hazai mozikban!

Transmetropolitan Book Two
In a future where consumerism, superficiality and corruption reign supreme, outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem has decided to stop sitting idly by and watching the world crumble around him. No one in The City is safe.
YEAR TWO: I HATE IT HERE
Outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem has covered every flavor of newsworthy depravity in the course of his long and chemically enhanced career. But the legendary street reporter's bread-and-butter stories of organ traffickers, DNA thieves, and dog fondlers are just an appetizer for that ultimate banquet of human degradation--politics.
Two candidates--the Beast and the Smiler--are facing off in this year's presidential election and Spider seems to be the only member of the media with the intestinal fortitude to hack his way through the campaign propaganda and discover the reality behind the spin.
But even with all his years of hard-won cynicism, Spider is still in for a shock when he starts to turn over these particular rocks--and there won't be enough mind-numbing drugs in the whole world to mask the corruption that he and his new assistants are about to expose.
Acclaimed writer Warren Ellis (Castlevania, The Wild Storm) and artist Darick Robertson (The Boys, Happy!) reconstruct the present by deconstructing the future in Transmetropolitan Book Two, collecting issues #13-24 of their disturbingly prescient series together with the special anthology one-shot Transmetropolitan: I Hate It Here and featuring an introduction by stage and screen legend Patrick Stewart.

The Girl Who Lived Twice
**THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO IS BACK!**
**The sixth in the Millennium series - more than 100 million copies sold worldwide**
"Expertly told, the plot crackles with life" DAILY MAIL
"Salander is centre stage . . . A pacy read" SUNDAY EXPRESS
"Exciting and disturbing" LITERARY REVIEW
"Salander and Blomkvist are just as compelling as ever" NEW YORK TIMES
**********************************************************************************
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO HAS FRESH OUTRAGE TO AVENGE
As Salander follows the scorched trail of her twin sister to Moscow, Blomkvist fears for her safety.
He should, perhaps, be more concerned for himself. The murder of a homeless man on the streets of Stockholm has drawn him into a conspiracy that scales the heights of Everest and plunges to the depths of Russia's criminal underworld.
And now Lisbeth will face her nemesis. For the girl with the dragon tattoo, the personal is always political - and ultimately deadly.
"A unique concoction that should leave Salander's legion of followers clamoring for more" Tom Nolan, Wall Street Journal

Az utolsó lépés - Neverwinter IV.
Most már ismerem a szívemben lakozó igazságot.
Drizzt Do’Urden vagyok; valaha tétován bolyongtam a ködben, mára azonban megtaláltam az utam a végzet csillagos égboltja felé. Korábban bizonytalan léptekkel botorkáltam, most viszont már tudom, hogy minden egyes lépéssel közelebb jutok múltam örökségéhez.
Torz Effron vagyok, boszorkánymester tanonc, nyomorék tiefling ifjú. Bosszúra szomjazom, és emiatt összetűzésbe kerülök a mesteremmel, Draygo Quickkel, és az összes egykori szövetségesemmel. Még sincs más választásom. Dahlia Sin’Felle megfizet azért, amit tett, és senki sem - főleg sötételf társa nem -, állhat az utamba.
Én vagyok a Végső Átjáró, a szürkület pereme, a hajnal hírnöke. Drizzt Do’Urden és a társai hamarosan megízlelik fagyos ölelésemet.
Ne hagyja ki a Neverwinter megdöbbentő befejezését!

The Ascent Of Rum Doodle - Vintage Voyages
Vintage Voyages: A world of journeys, from the tallest mountains to the depths of the mind
Led by the reliably under-insightful Binder, a team of seven British men including Dr Prone (constantly ill); Jungle the route finder (constantly lost), Constant the diplomat (constantly arguing) and 3,000 Yogistani porters, set out to conquer the highest peak in the Himalayas.
An outrageously funny spoof about the ascent of a 40,000-and-a-half-foot peak, The Ascent of Rum Doodle has been a cult favourite since its publication in 1956.
