A History of Ancient Rome in 100 Lives
Discover the lives of the ancient Romans, pieced together from inscriptions, discarded letters, biographies and myth over two thousand years of history. The Roman empire witnessed a huge diversity of human experience over its history. At its pinnacle, it exerted its rule across Europe, Africa and the Middle East, from Britannia to the Black Sea.
In this collection of 100 lives, Philip Matyszak and Joanne Berry give voice not only to famed rulers and generals whose names and deeds have been enshrined in classical texts but also to the ordinary citizens - centurions, scholars, Christian martyrs and civil servants - who made up the fabric of Roman society. The biographies of these individuals, whose stories range from the happy and uneventful to the tragic and dramatic, are pieced together from ancient art, artefacts and myths. Matyszak and Berry illuminate the sometimes surprising exploits of Rome's women, such as Amazonia, a sword-swinging gladiator, and Metila, a priestess of the cult of Cymbele.
Romans of every class and creed are represented, from Faustulus, a shepherd said to have adopted the infant Romulus and Remus, to the poet Virgil, whose words still echo down the ages. Each of these lives forms part of a larger picture, together making up a rich mosaic that gives us a glimpse of what it meant to be a Roman.

Our Little Racket
A captivating debut about wealth, envy, and secrets: the story of five women whose lives are dramatically changed by the downfall of a financial titan On September 15, 2008, the world of Greenwich, Connecticut, is shaken. When the investment bank Weiss & Partners is shuttered, CEO Bob D'Amico must fend off allegations of malfeasance, as well as the judgment and resentment of his community. As panic builds, five women in his life must scramble to negotiate power on their own terms and ask themselves what --if anything--is worth saving. In the aftermath of this collapse, Bob D'Amico's teenage daughter Madison begins to probe her father's heretofore secret world for information. Four other women in Madison's life --her mother Isabel, her best friend Amanda, her nanny Lily, and family friend Mina --begin to question their own shifting roles in their insular, moneyed world. For the adults, this means learning how to protect their own in a community that has turned against them. For the younger generation, it means heightened rebellion and heartache during the already volatile teenage years. And for Lily, it means deciding where her loyalties lie when it comes to the family in which she is both an essential member and, ultimately, an outsider. All these women have witnessed more than they've disclosed, all harbor secret insecurities and fears, and all must ask themselves--where is the line between willful ignorance and unspoken complicity? With astonishing precision, insight, and grace, Angelica Baker weaves a timeless social novel about the rituals of intimacy and community; of privilege and information; of family and risk; of etiquette and taboo.

Good and Mad
From Rebecca Traister, the New York Times bestselling author of All the Single Ladies comes a vital, incisive exploration into the transformative power of female anger and its ability to transcend into a political movement.
In the year 2018, it seems as if women's anger has suddenly erupted into the public conversation. But long before Pantsuit Nation, before the Women's March, and before the #MeToo movement, women's anger was not only politically catalytic-but politically problematic. The story of female fury and its cultural significance demonstrates the long history of bitter resentment that has enshrouded women's slow rise to political power in America, as well as the ways that anger is received when it comes from women as opposed to when it comes from men.
With eloquence and fervor, Rebecca tracks the history of female anger as political fuel-from suffragettes marching on the White House to office workers vacating their buildings after Clarence Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court. Here Traister explores women's anger at both men and other women; anger between ideological allies and foes; the varied ways anger is perceived based on its owner; as well as the history of caricaturing and delegitimizing female anger; and the way women's collective fury has become transformative political fuel-as is most certainly occurring today. She deconstructs society's (and the media's) condemnation of female emotion (notably, rage) and the impact of their resulting repercussions.
Highlighting a double standard perpetuated against women by all sexes, and its disastrous, stultifying effect, Traister's latest is timely and crucial. It offers a glimpse into the galvanizing force of women's collective anger, which, when harnessed, can change history.

Nincs Hold, ha nem nézed
Hogyan lesz egy antiszociális, zűrös kamaszlányból nővér, majd orvos? Hogyan éli meg az alacsony önbecsülésű főszereplő a hosszú évekig tartó szerető-státuszt egy idősebb férfi oldalán?
Havas Juli hiánypótló és provokatív könyvet írt ezekről a nehéz kérdésekről.
A mellbevágóan leleplező, ravaszul intellektuális és sokrétű regény egyszerre társadalmi kórkép, remek stílusban megírt szerelmi történet és betekintés az orvosi kulisszák mögé a covid idején. - Péterfy Gergely
"Anyám is mellénk kuporodott a kanapéra. Összeért a testünk és én nem húzódtam el, mint ahogy máskor tettem volna. Mindhármunknak öntött még a vörösborból. Csak ültünk és hallgattunk. Hirtelen ment el a nap és tűnt el a káprázat a falról."

The Dust of Death: The Story of the Great Plague of the Twentieth Century
A short story in the "Doom of London" series. It begins:"The front door bell tinkled impatiently; evidently somebody was in a hurry. Alan Hubert answered the call, a thing that even a distinguished physician might do, seeing that it was on the stroke of midnight. The tall, graceful figure of a woman in evening dress stumbled into the hall. The diamonds in her hair shimmered and trembled, her face was full of terror."You are Dr. Hubert," she gasped. "I am Mrs. Fillingham, the artist's wife, you know. Will you come with me at once... My husband... I had been dining out. In the studio... Oh, please come!"... "Hubert walked up the drive and past the trim lawns with Mrs. Fillingham hanging on his arm, and in at the front door. ...a human figure lying on his back before the fireplace. The clean-shaven, sensitive face of the artist had a ghastly, purple-black tinge, there was a large swelling in the throat. ... 'Diphtheria!' he exclaimed. 'Label's type unless I am greatly mistaken. Some authorities are disposed to scoff at Dr. Label's discovery. I was an assistant of his for four years and I know better. Fortunately I happen to know what the treatment—successful in two cases—was.'"That is only the beginning. The doctor consults Dr. Label, whose theory is that the disease originates in the soil where houses have been built over former garbage dumps or where raw refuse was used as construction fill in London. "For years I have been prophesying an outbreak of some new disease—or some awful form of an old one—and here it comes."The reader should keep in mind that this was written before the development of antimicrobial drugs, so a diptheria outbreak was very serious. However, even in 1903 there was a treatment for diphtheria, involving injection of anti-toxin produced from animals immunized against heat-inactivated diphtheria bacteria, but it was not used widely or adequately. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphtheria). Today, people are immunized against diphtheria during childhood.First published in Pearson's Magazine, March 1903 with illustrations by Warwick Goble. The illustrations can be seen at the Project Gutenberg Australia souce; they are omitted from this eBook.Reprinted in Science Fiction By The Rivals Of H.G. Wells, Castle Books, 1979.

Funny Weather
'Never has a publication been more timely' - Dazed
'A brave writer whose books open up fundamental questions about life and art' - Telegraph
In this remarkable, inspiring collection of essays, acclaimed writer and critic Olivia Laing makes a brilliant case for why art matters, especially in the turbulent political weather of the twenty-first century.
Funny Weather brings together a career's worth of Laing's writing about art and culture, examining their roles in our political and emotional lives. She profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O'Keeffe, interviews Hilary Mantel and Ali Smith, writes love letters to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body. With characteristic originality and compassion, she celebrates art as a force of resistance and repair, an antidote to a frightening political time.
We're often told art can't change anything. In Funny Weather, Laing argues that it can. It changes how we see the world, it exposes inequality, and it offers fertile new ways of living.

The Araki Effect
Araki's career in full, from the portraits of the early 1960s to city scenes and tender tributes to his wife
Araki is known the world over for his controversial erotic portraits of Japanese women, often bound using the kinbaku (Japanese bondage) technique. A unique figure in contemporary photography, he has always found creative inspiration in his daily existence, without making any distinction between his personal life and public and professional practice. The Araki Effect offers a broad overview of his career: from the first series from 1963-65, Satchin and His Brother Mabo, to Subway of Love, a large collection of images taken in the Tokyo subway between 1963 and 1972, the year he also made Autumn in Tokyo, which recounts the autumn he spent wandering through the city in the twilight hours. These are followed by Sentimental Night in Kyoto, less known than the famous Sentimental Journey, both tributes to his wife, Yoko; Balcony of Love, Death Reality, Tokyo Diary from 2017, and one of his latest collections, Araki's Paradise from 2019. Born in Tokyo in 1940, Nobuyoshi Araki worked at an advertising agency in the 1960s, where he met his future wife, Yoko Araki, the subject of his now classic volume Sentimental Journey. Araki's oeuvre spans erotic portraits of women, still lifes, images of plants, scenes of everyday life and architectural photography. He has published around 400 books, shown in many international exhibitions and his work is part of important collections worldwide. Araki lives and works in Tokyo.

CO: Na rozdíl od různých výběrových edic jde v tomto případě o skutečně kompletní nahrávky celého Ravelova díla. Na 21 discích je tak možné vedle stěžejních a často uváděných autorových opusů najít i méně frekventované skladby až po vyložené rarity. Raritami jsou samozřejmě také originální zvukové záznamy s Mauricem Ravelem coby interpretem vlastních skladeb, ať už nepřímo prostřednictvím historického samohracího klavírního mechanismu nebo v podobě skutečných autentických nahrávek, na kterých figuruje jako dirigent. Mezi vesměs vynikajícími interprety se v hojné míře objevují francouzští sólisté, instrumentalisté a orchestry. Velmi vkusně působí i zvolené výtvarné provedení s reprodukcemi obrazů francouzského malíře Alberta Marqueta (1875-1947), které zdařile korespondují s Ravelovou zvukomalebnou hudbou.

Emlékirataim
Egy könyv, mely ebben a formában először kerül az olvasók elé.
Egy könyv, melynek rövidített változata először Kanadában jelent meg 1974-ben. Majd 1989-ben itthon - a csonka kiadás.
Egy könyv egy kivételes sorsról, egy kivételes emberről, akinek neve egybeforrt a világháborút követő évtizedek kusza politikájával.
Egy könyv, mely megmutatja a diktatúra ördögi arcát.
Egy könyv a hősi ellenállásról.
Mindszenty József emblematikus sorsa huszadik századi kálváriajárás. Az ellenállás íve a kommün és a Kádár-korszak között húzódik, közelnézetben: Tanácsköztársaság, nyilas terror, Rákosi-diktatúra, 1956, Kádár-rendszer. Majd következik az emigráció, de a politikai szálak már a legkorábbi időktől átvezetnek az országhatáron és a kontinensen. Mindszenty meghurcolása, perbe fogása, bebörtönzése évtizedekig tabutéma volt Magyarországon, írásai, beszédei indexre kerültek, nevének kiejtése is kivívta az egykori hatalom haragját. A rendszerváltozást követően ügyében perújítási nyomozást rendeltek el, újratemetésére 1991-ben került sor, a rehabilitálási eljárást csak 2012-ben zárták le. Mi is történt akkor valójában az évtizedek alatt? A válaszokat az Emlékirataim adja meg.
"Azt kérdezheti az olvasó, elmondottam-e mindent. Válaszom: előadtam mindent, csak azt nem részleteztem, amit a jóízlés, meg a férfi és papi önérzet tilt. Amiről beszámoltam, azt nem azért írtam meg, hogy fájdalmaim és sebeim gyümölcsét bármilyen tekintetben learassam. Csak azért adtam közre, hogy a világ lássa, mi a bolsevizmus az emberi sorsban, és milyen az emberi sors a bolsevizmusban. Nem emeli az embert, de örvényeket nyit és szakaszt a számára. Elmondtam, hogy a magyar egyház fejének keresztjével is felhívjam balsorsú magyar népem szenvedéseire, de a saját maga szüntelen, küszöbön álló veszedelmére is a nagyvilág figyelmét" - írja Mindszenty a kötet előszavában.
Mindszenty József esztergomi érsek, Magyarország hercegprímása, bíboros. Pehm József néven született a Vas vármegyei Csehmindszenten. 1915-ben Szombathelyen szentelték pappá. 1917-től Zalaegerszegen volt gimnáziumi hittantanár. Az 1918-19-es forradalmak idején politikai okokból letartóztatták, majd a Tanácsköztársaság alatt internálták. 1919 októberétől ismét Zalaegerszegen volt plébános, 1924-től címzetes apát, 1937-ben pápai prelátus lett. 1944. március 15-én szentelték püspökké, és helyezték a veszprémi egyházmegye élére. Mentette a meggyőződésük vagy származásuk miatt üldözötteket, szót emelt a Dunántúl hadszíntérré változtatása ellen, ezért 1944 őszén a nyilasok elhurcolták Sopronkőhidára. 1945-ben, szabadulását követően visszatért Veszprémbe. 1945 őszén esztergomi érsekké szentelték, majd a következő évben bíborossá. Szemben állt a kommunista politikával, ragaszkodott az egyház társadalmi szerepének megőrzéséhez. Nyilvánosan emelt szót az 1947. évi választási csalások, az egyházi iskolák államosítása ellen.
1948 karácsonyán letartóztatták, a következő évben életfogytig tartó fegyházbüntetésre ítélték. 1955-ben börtönbüntetését megszakították, Felsőpeténybe vitték, ahol házi őrizetbe került. Az 1956-os forradalom idején kiszabadítása, érseki tisztének helyreállítása az egyik általánosan elterjedt követelés volt. Kiszabadítását követően, 1956. október 31-én katonákból és felkelőkből álló népes csoport kísérte Rétságról Budapestre. November 3-án este rádióbeszédben szólt a nemzethez. Másnap a szovjet támadás hírére az Egyesült Államok nagykövetségére menekült, ahol menedékjogot kapott. 1957. március 9-én bejelentették, hogy ítélete hatályban van, majd 1962-ben - távollétében - 1956-os szerepéért is elítélték. 1971. szeptember 28-án előzetes megállapodás alapján elhagyhatta az amerikai követséget. 1973-ban a pápa tisztségéből való lemondásra szólította föl. Utolsó éveit Bécsben töltötte, ott halt meg 1975. május 6-án. Mariazellben temették el. 1994 márciusában kezdődött boldoggá avatásának folyamata.
