Chip, of the Flying U
All of the boys at the Flying U grumbled -- among themselves -- when they heard that the Old Man's sister was coming to spend the summer. They didn't want a woman at the ranch, and certainly not one who had just received a medical degree! But if they'd had an inkling of what was really going to happen, they would have done more than grumble...

The Rise of Islamic State
The essential "on the ground" report on the fastest growing new threat in the Middle East
Born of the Iraqi and Syrian civil wars, the Islamic State astonished the world in 2014 by creating a powerful new force in the Middle East. By combining religious fanaticism and military prowess, the new self-declared caliphate poses a threat to the political status quo of the whole region.
In The Rise of Islamic State, Patrick Cockburn describes the conflicts behind a dramatic unraveling of US foreign policy. He shows how the West created the conditions for ISIS's explosive success by stoking the war in Syria. The West-the US and NATO in particular-underestimated the militants' potential until it was too late and failed to act against jihadi sponsors in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan.
Eight Strokes of the Clock
These adventures were told to me in the old days by Arsene Lupin, as though they had happened to a friend of his, named Prince Rénine. As for me, considering the way in which they were conducted, the actions, the behaviour and the very character of the hero, I find it very difficult not to identify the two friends as one and the same person. Arsene Lupin is gifted with a powerful imagination and is quite capable of attributing to himself adventures which are not his at all and of disowning those which are really his. The reader will judge for himself.

Islands in the Air
The slavery of weight, which chains us to this planet and to the ground, is far more serious than we appreciate, simply because we have always been "earthbound". But, sooner or later, it will be possible to bring about such conditions as our author describes so vividly in this excellent short story. When it does, aviation will be helped tremendously, and indeed the conditions of our entire world will be revolutionized literally.

Beneath the Lions Gaze
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974 - the eve of a revolution.
Yonas kneels in his mother's prayer room, pleading to his god for an end to the violence that has wracked his family and country. His father, Hailu, a prominent doctor, has been ordered to report to jail after helping a victim of state-sanctioned torture to die.
And Dawit, Hailu's youngest son, has joined an underground resistance movement-a choice that will lead to more upheaval and bloodshed across a ravaged Ethiopia.
Emotionally gripping, poetic and indelibly tragic, Beneath the Lion's Gaze is a transcendent story that tells a gripping story of family and of the bonds of love and friendship. It is a story about the lengths to which human beings will go in pursuit of freedom and the human price of a national revolution.
Far from the Madding Crowd
Far from the Madding Crowd was the first of Hardy's novels to apply the name of Wessex to the landscape of south-west England, and the first to gain him widespread popularity as a novelist. When the beautiful and spirited Bathsheba Everdene inherits her own farm, she attracts three very different suitors; the seemingly commonplace man-of-the-soil Gabriel Oak, the dashing young soldier Francis Troy, and the respectable, middle-aged Farmer Boldwood. Her choice, and the tragedy it provokes, lie at the centre of Hardy's ambivalent story.

Off the Record – Az elhallgatott igazság
A ?tizenhét éves Josie Wright az írásban teljesedik ki, amióta csak az eszét tudja. Ez a tevékenység tartja benne a lelket akkor is, amikor minden más kész őrültek háza körülötte. Szóval, amikor megnyer egy versenyt, amelynek fődíja, hogy megírhatja egy híresség portréját a Deep Focus magazin számára, egyszerre lesz izgatott és ijedt. De készen áll. Megbirkózik a feladattal.Josie hamarosan egy többállomásos turnéra indul, amely során csillogó hírességekkel, frenetikus alkalmazottakkal, faarcú producerekkel és különc stylistokkal ismerkedik meg. Azon kapja magát, hogy érzelmeket táplál portréja tárgya, a káprázatos, fiatal színészpalánta, Marius Canet iránt. Josie világa olyan gyorsan kitágul, hogy nem tudja, épp repül-e vagy zuhan. De amikor egy fiatal színésznő beavatja őt egy szörnyű titokba, a válasz egyértelmű: nyakig belekerül ő is.Egyre több nő beszámolója kapcsolódik össze. Josie le akarja leplezni a felelős férfit, de vonakodik felszólalni. Nem biztos benne, hogy ezt a történetet az ő tiszte lenne elmesélni. Mi van, ha cserbenhagyja a nőket, akik rábízták a történeteiket? Mi van, ha ez a dolog véget vet az írói karrierjének, mielőtt elkezdődne? Rengeteg oka van rá, hogy ne folytassa a küldetést. De ha Josie nem lép közbe, akkor mégis ki fog?
