Utas és holdvilág
A normákkal és szabályokkal szembeni lázadás tüze ott lobog minden kamaszban. Olykor felgyújt ezt-azt, de melegíti a lelket és megvilágítja az utat, az utakat. Sérülést okozni furcsamód csak később szokott, amikor már kisebb lánggal ég, vagy éppen, hogy parázslik. Az ember csodálkozva fölé hajol, egyet sóhajt, s a légáramtól feltáncoló láng megperzseli az arcát.
A többség felnőttként a járt útra lép, az elvárások közé szorított, a teljesítmények mérföldköveivel gondosan kiszabott, a generációk által simára csoszogott, a konformizmus biztonságába vezető ösvényre. Könnyebb ott haladni, mint éhesen, fáradtan botorkálni az övig érő gazban. Mihály, az Utas és holdvilág hőse jó darab életet megtett már az úton, épp a legnehezebb szakasznál tart, ott, ahol még érdemesnek tűnik visszafordulni, de már lehetetlen. S ha mégis sikerülne, ha mégis vissza lehetne szaladni a kamaszkori álmok és tervek képzeletbeli világába, akkor merre tovább? Milyen viszonyban a társadalommal, ha nem a részeként? Használni, mint egy zseni? Kihasználni, mint egy szélhámos?
Kivonulni belőle, mint egy aszkéta? Végleg hátra hagyni mindent, és eltűnni örökre, mint egy eszmény? Vagy csak sodródni mából a holnapba céltalanul? Úgy volt, hogy ami ezekhez kell, az a nagy ideák mellett csupa jelentéktelen dolog, elég hozzágondolni a jövőhöz, s majd lesz magától. Lesz elhivatottság, rajongás, lelkiismeretlenség vagy épp hit, bátorság, lesz pénz. És ha nem lett? Vagy épp csak annyi, amennyi a járt útra elegendő?
"Életben kell maradni. Élni fog ő is, mint a patkányok a romok közt. De mégis élni. És ha az ember él, akkor még mindig történhetik valami."
A Tisza-család krónikája
A borosjenői Tisza-család Magyarország egyik legrégebbi nemesi családja, amely két miniszterelnököt és további nagy formátumú személyiségeket adott az országnak. A Tisza-család krónikája végigveszi a család történetét a homályba vesző kezdetektől, a XIX-XX. század két miniszterelnöke, Tisza Kálmán és Tisza István életének történetén át a közelmúlt viharait átélt örökösökig.
A visszatekintésből nem csupán egy nemesi család története tárul föl előttünk, hanem országunk történelme is, továbbá a történelem emberi aspektusai, országvesztéssel, az identitás örökös keresésével, kitelepítésekkel és a megmaradás győzelmével - nem száraz történelemleckeként, hanem az egyes szereplők szemén keresztül személyessé váló, húsba vágó élménybeszámolóként.
Republic
Presented in the form of a dialogue between Socrates and three different interlocutors, this book is an enquiry into the notion of a perfect community and the ideal individual within it. It addresses the purpose of education and the role of both women and men as 'guardians' of the people.

Starry-Eyed Love
Charming, hilarious, and emotional, Starry-Eyed Love is Helena Hunting at her very best!
Having just broken up with her boyfriend, London Spark is not in the mood to be hit on. Especially not when she's out celebrating her single status with her sisters. So when a very attractive man pays for their drinks and then slips her his number, she passes it right back to him with a 'thanks, but no thanks'. As the business administrator for their family's event hotel, the Spark House, London has more important things to worry about, like bringing in new clientele.
As luck would have it, a multi-million-dollar company calls a few months later asking for a meeting to discuss a potential partnership, and London is eager to prove to her sisters, and herself, that she can land this deal. Just when she thinks she has nailed her presentation, the company's CEO, Jackson Holt, walks in and inserts himself into the meeting. Not only that, but he also happens to be the same guy she turned down at the bar a few months ago.
As they begin to spend more time together, their working relationship blossoms into something more. It isn't until their professional entanglements are finally over, that London and Jackson are finally ready to take the next step in their relationship. But between Jackson's secretive past and London's struggle with her sisters, London must question where she really stands - not just with Jackson, but with the Spark House, too.

Hotwife Voyeur Resort: Truth Or Dare
The no-holds-barred Hotwife Resort caters to voyeuristic men yearning to watch their wives having sex with other men…and women. Amanda and Josh think they know what they’re getting into—until they play Extremely Erotic Truth and Dare with two other couples and one well-endowed black man. But when Amanda falls hard for her sexy bull, it breaks Josh’s heart. Can he find a way to win her back? ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~ I took my drink outside and sat back in my lounge chair to have a pity party for myself. I'd agreed to this arrangement. I’d agreed Amanda could sleep around, and all I could do was watch. What if she fell for somebody else? What is she fell in love and left me? Did I need to look at flights home? If I did leave the resort, should I even tell her? Would it be better if I just disappeared? And the most important question of all, if I felt so badly, why am I so excited? Do I want to feel the humiliation, jealousy, and pain of watching my wife with another man? Is that what I really want? It hit me then, like a gut punch. I… was… Amanda’s… cuckold. I couldn’t deny it any longer. In which case I should stay. I relished the idea of watching my wife have sex with another man. I could feel my heart squeezing at just the thought of another man pushing inside Amanda. I wanted to see it happen. I wanted to be humiliated by it. I didn't understand the strong feelings I was having, it was wrong, but I wanted it more than anything at that moment. I must have briefly fallen asleep. I woke up with a full bladder, and an urgent need to talk to my wife. I went in to use the bathroom off the master bedroom. The blanket next to the stairs was laying bunched up, it was hard to tell in the dark if anyone was there. I made my way quietly up the stairs. The bathrooms were connected to the bedrooms and I negotiated my way, still half asleep, in the partial darkness. My bare feet made no noise as I walked toward our bedroom at the end of the hall. “Oh… James… I don’t know… you might be too big for me,” it was my wife’s voice. She sounded excited. “Be gentl … oh, James.” I pressed my body to the wall next to the door and peeked around the corner. My urge to urinate was gone, but my excitement remained. I wrapped my fist around myself, both to keep it from hitting the edge of the door and because it felt so good. James was laying on the near edge of the bed, his legs on the floor and his back on the mattress. I could just see how shockingly long he was when held by my petite wife. She was standing next to him with her legs spread, licking his him while he stroked her between the thighs. “I know what you want, Amanda. You’ve been looking at me from the time you arrived,” James had his hands on her hips, trying to draw her closer. “Oh… James, I really want to… but Josh wants,” she had to stop talking when he moved his hand to stroke her faster. “I’m so… Josh wants… to watch… the first time.” I wanted to shout, “I’m watching.” I had one hand on myself and the other on the doorframe. “Just let me touch it… like I did before.” My wife stroked him. She tried to wrap her tiny married hand around his immense shaft. “You can’t even get your hand all the way around it, can you?” he asked her. “Tell me what it feels like to hold.” “It feels so hot and…alive, James. I’m holding a thick, living, thing.” She said again. “I’m holding another man.” She was savoring the sentence. “I’m touching my wedding ring to you. Does that make me a cheater?” “It makes you a hotwife. Touch me with your ring again.” I watched my wife change her grip on his phallus. He was so long and thick, her fing

Lacná kniha Black Klansman (-90%)
What happens when a black detective goes undercover in the KKK? An extraordinary true story.
In 1978, Ron Stallworth is the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police Department. In the local paper, he finds a classified ad for the Ku Klux Klan - and a P.O. box for interested enquiries.
All he's expecting are some racist brochures and a few scraps of information about the white nationalist terrorists in his community.
What he gets is a phone call inviting him to join the KKK.
So he does.
Launching an undercover investigation of incredible audacity, Ron recruits his partner Chuck to play the 'white' Ron Stallworth, while Stallworth himself talks to the Klan over the phone. During his months-long investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the military, and even manages to deceive the KKK "Grand Wizard" David Duke himself - dodging danger and reprisal at every turn...
Black Klansman is an amazing true story and a rollercoaster of a crime thriller; a searing and timely portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

Queens of Jerusalem
In 1187 Saladin's armies besieged the holy city of Jerusalem. He had previously annihilated Jerusalem's army at the battle of Hattin, and behind the city's high walls a last-ditch defence was being led by an unlikely trio - including Sibylla, Queen of Jerusalem. They could not resist Saladin, but, if they were lucky, they could negotiate terms that would save the lives of the city's inhabitants.
Queen Sibylla was the last of a line of formidable female rulers in the Crusader States of Outremer. Yet for all the many books written about the Crusades, one aspect is conspicuously absent: the stories of women. Queens and princesses tend to be presented as passive transmitters of land and royal blood. In reality, women ruled, conducted diplomatic negotiations, made military decisions, forged alliances, rebelled, and undertook architectural projects. Sibylla's grandmother Queen Melisende was the first queen to seize real political agency in Jerusalem and rule in her own right. She outmanoeuvred both her husband and son to seize real power in her kingdom, and was a force to be reckoned with in the politics of the medieval Middle East. The lives of her Armenian mother, her three sisters, and their daughters and granddaughters were no less intriguing.
The lives of this trailblazing dynasty of royal women, and the crusading Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine, are the focus of Katherine Pangonis's debut book. In QUEENS OF JERUSALEM she explores the role women played in the governing of the Middle East during periods of intense instability, and how they persevered to rule and seize greater power for themselves when the opportunity presented itself.
