Srdce čarodejnice
Severské mýty vo veľkolepom príbehu lásky prefíkaného Lokiho a osudovej čarodejnice.
Angrbodin príbeh sa začína tým, čím sa príbeh väčšiny čarodejníc končí upálením. Najvyšší boh Ódin potrestá Angrbodu za to, že sa s ním odmieta podeliť o svoj dar, nazeranie do budúcnosti. Ranená a bezmocná čarodejnica uteká do najodľahlejších kútov temného lesa. Tam ju nájde Loki, Ódinov brat. Angrbodina počiatočná nedôvera k nemu sa postupne pretaví do hlbokej lásky.
Časom spolu splodia tri deti, každé s nezvyčajným, vopred predurčeným osudom. Angrboda ich vychováva na kraji sveta, ukryté pred Ódinovým vševidiacim okom. Ako však Angrboda znovu nadobúda veštecké schopnosti, zisťuje, že jej šťastný život – ale aj existencia celého božstva – je v ohrození.
S pomocou neľútostnej lovkyne Skadi, s ktorou si postupne vytvorí silné puto, sa Angrboda musí rozhodnúť, či pre svoju milovanú rodinu prijme osud, ktorý sa jej vyjavil... alebo sa vzbúri a pokúsi sa zmeniť budúcnosť.

Mud Sweeter than Honey
After breaking ties with Yugoslavia, the USSR and then China, Enver Hoxha believed that Albania could become a self-sufficient bastion of communism. Every day, many of its citizens were thrown into prisons and forced labour camps for daring to think independently, for rebelling against the regime or trying to escape - the consequences of their actions were often tragic and irreversible.
Mud Sweeter than Honey gives voice to those who lived in Albania at that time - from poets and teachers to shoe-makers and peasant farmers, and many others whose aspirations were brutally crushed in acts of unimaginable repression - creating a vivid, dynamic and often painful picture of this totalitarian state during the forty years of Hoxha's ruthless dictatorship.
Very little emerged from Albania during communist times. With these personal accounts, Rejmer opens a window onto a terrifying period in the country's history. Mud Sweeter than Honey is not only a gripping work of reportage, but also a necessary and unique portrait of a nation.
Tsarina's Daughter
When they took everything from her, they didn't count on her fighting to get it back...
Born into the House of Romanov to the all-powerful Peter the Great and Catherine I, beautiful Tsarevna Elizabeth is the world's loveliest Princess and the envy of the Russian empire. Insulated by luxury and as a woman free from the burden of statecraft, Elizabeth is seemingly born to pursue her passions.
However, a dark prophecy predicts her fate as inexorably twined with Russia. When her mother dies, Russia is torn, masks fall, and friends become foes. Elizabeth's idyllic world is upended. By her twenties she is penniless and powerless, living under constant threat. As times change like quicksand, an all-consuming passion emboldens Elizabeth: she must decide whether to take up her role as Russia's ruler, and what she's willing to do for her country - and for love.
Venice
Enchanting, captivating, precious—Venice is one of the most cherished cities in the world. For centuries it was the heart of a global maritime power and a crossroads for diverse cultures. Today the city attracts millions of visitors each year, enticed by its irresistible beauty. Art lovers are drawn here by the paintings, prints, drawings, and films made by generations of artists who have captured its magical allure. It is through images—both of the city and the art created there—that Venice’s identity has been forged and spread so powerfully.Venice was a major center of art in the Renaissance: the city where the medium of oil on canvas became the norm.
The achievements of the Bellini brothers, Vittore Carpaccio, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Paolo Veronese are a key part of this story. Nowhere else has been depicted by so many great painters in so many diverse styles and moods. Venetian views were a specialty of native artists such as Canaletto and Francesco Guardi, but the city has also been represented by outsiders: William Turner, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, Howard Hodgkin, and many more.
Then there are those who came to look at and write about art. The reactions of Henry James, George Eliot, Richard Wagner, and others enrich this tale. Nor is the story over. Since the advent of the Venice Biennale in the 1890s, the city has become a shop window for the contemporary art of the whole world.In this elegant volume, Martin Gayford takes us on a visual journey through the past five centuries of the city known as “La Serenissima,” the “Most Serene.”
You Don't Own Me - Nem vagyok a tulajdonod 1-2.
Most keményen küzdök, hogy megőrizzem az irányítást.
Zane
Minden anya azért imádkozik, hogy a lánya soha ne akadjon össze egy magamfajta férfival. Kőszívű vagyok, könyörtelen maffiafőnök és kegyetlen gyilkos. Még nem találkoztam olyan nővel, aki a kielégülésemen túl lekötötte volna a figyelmemet. Dahlia Furyig. Ő más. Úgy sétált be az életembe, ahogy egy védtelen bárány kerül a farkas útjába. Amint összepillantottunk, beindultam rá. Muszáj volt őt megszereznem. De soha nem gondoltam, hogy olyan lesz, mint valami drog. Úgy serceg közöttünk a levegő, mint amilyet én még nem tapasztaltam, és bármikor látom, minden porcikáját fel akarom falni. Én kötöttem ki a megállapodásunk feltételeit (egy hónap), de minden alkalom után, amikor magamévá teszem, mint egy átkozott függőnek, újabb adagra van szükségem... Dahlia
"Menni fog. Ez csak egy egyszerű svédmasszázs", könyörgött a barátnőm.A megérzésemre kellett volna hallgatnom. Nem lett volna szabad elmennem. De nem hallgattam, így egyedül találtam magam egy szobában a megtestesült alfahímmel, egy szexi, befolyásos maffiafőnökkel, akinek a rideg tekintetétől meghűl a vér az ereimben. A legmegdöbbentőbb módon vette irányítása alá a testemet. Elveszítettem miatta az önuralmamat.
Lélekszakadva menekültem el tőle, de sosem felejtettem el. Majd valami elképzelhetetlen történik, és csak a jégszívű ragadozó tud segíteni. Belemegy, de... semmi sincs ingyen. Most a londoni villájában élek arra várva, hogy magához rendeljen, megérintsen, felizgasson és kielégítsen.
Úgy, ahogy csak az én orosz fenevadam tud...
Éld át az átélhetetlent! (És tanuld meg távol tartani az életedtől!)

Krónikák
Bob Dylan nemcsak egy korszak ikonja, hanem ismeretterjesztő, túlélő, és az ellenkultúra spirális mozgásának valóságos lakmuszpapírja egy személyben. Története igazi próba: megmutatja, mi minden történhetett, hányféle visszatérő helyzet állt a talpáról a fejére újra és újra, miközben a könnyűzene ? ez az elvben örökké fiatal és amorf képződmény ? lassan maga is matuzsálemi korba lépett.
Bob Dylan az önéletrajzában hol szellemesen, hol költőien mesél pályafutásának kezdeteiről. Milyen volt, amikor a hatvanas évek elején megérkezett New Yorkba, amely a lehetőségek városa volt akkor: hajnalig tartó bulik, a világirodalomra való rácsodálkozás, a múló szerelmek és az életre szóló barátságok születésének színhelye.
Megismerjük a könyvből a páratlan karrier első lépéseit, s egyben a művész gondolatainak alakulását ? Dylan különleges kifejezőerővel és a dalaira is olyannyira jellemző sajátos ritmusban mesél az emberekről és a helyekről, amelyek formálták őt: előadóként, dalszerzőként, költőként, emberként.
Nem egyszerű önéletrajzi írás ez a könyv, hanem egy ? ma már Nobel-díjas ? író remeklése.
"Joan Baez írt rólam egy protest dalt, amely rengetegszer ment a rádióban; arra ösztökélt benne, hogy álljak ki, nézzek szembe a feladattal, vezessem a tömegeket ? legyek hadvezér, a keresztes hadak főparancsnoka. A dal úgy zúdult rám a rádióból, mint egy közérdekű közlemény. A sajtó sem adta fel. Néhanap kénytelen voltam kimozdulni, és adni egy-egy interjút, hogy rám ne törjék az ajtót. A kérdéseik általában így kezdődtek: ? Beszélhetünk majd napi eseményekről is? ? Hát persze, például miről? ? A riporterek bombáztak a kérdéseikkel, én meg újra meg újra elmondtam nekik, hogy nem vagyok senkinek és semminek a szószólója, csak zenész vagyok. Erre úgy néztek a szemembe, mintha a whisky vagy a több marék amfetamin nyomait keresnék. Fogalmam sem volt, mi jár a fejükben. Később utcára került egy cikk ezzel a címmel: "A szóvivő tagadja, hogy szóvivő". Úgy éreztem magam, mint egy kutyák elé vetett húsdarab."
