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.

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.

Rick Riordan's Norse hero faces his greatest challenge yet in the final instalment of the series.
Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he's readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants and zombies, to sail against the Norse gods and begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It's up to Magnus Chase and his friends to stop Loki's plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim and Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it's ready to sail on Midsummer's Day.
Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, and an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus's biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly.

All the Crooked Saints - Tökéletlen szentek
Lebilincselő történet sötétségről, csodákról és a családról.
Mindannyiunk leghőbb vágya ez: egy csoda.
De rettegünk attól, mit kell feláldoznunk ahhoz, hogy megkapjuk.
Aki a coloradói Bicho Raróba látogat, nagy eséllyel találkozik
néhány komor szenttel, titokzatoskodó szerelmessel, álmodozó
tudóssal, csodamániás bagollyal, elhidegült szerelmespárral,
egy-két árva gyerekkel meg egy végtelen sivatagi égbolttal,
aminek a csillagai éberen figyelnek.
Ennek a helynek a főszereplői a Soria család tagjai, akik szokatlan csodákra képesek. A család főszereplői pedig három tizenéves unokatestvér, akik arra készülnek, hogy megváltoztassák a jövőt:
Beatriz, az érzelmek nélküli lány, aki csak arra vágyik, hogy
szabadon vizsgálhassa a gondolatait; Daniel, Bicho Raro Szentje, aki mindenkin készséggel segít, épp csak magán nem; és Joaquin, aki éjszakánként egy kalóz-rádióállomást vezet Diablo Diablo néven.
Mindannyian csodát keresnek. De Bicho Raro csodái csalókák: sosem olyanok, mint amilyennek tűnnek.
Szentek. Csodák. Család. Romantika. Halál. Megváltás

The Death of Olivier Becaille
It was on a Saturday, at six in the morning, that I died after a three days' illness. My wife was searching a trunk for some linen, and when she rose and turned she saw me rigid, with open eyes and silent pulses. She ran to me, fancying that I had fainted, touched my hands and bent over me. Then she suddenly grew alarmed, burst into tears and stammered:"My God, my God! He is dead!"
