None of the Above
'When you are someone that falls outside of categories in so many ways, a lot of things are said to you. And I have had a lot of things said to me.'
In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them about their gender identity. These phrases have stayed with them over the years. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary.
Through these seven phrases, which include some of their most transformative experiences as a Black, mixed race, non binary person, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.

A Thousand Mile Walk to the Gulf (EN)
In early March 1867, Muir was injured while working at a wagon wheels factory: a tool he was using slipped and struck him in the eye. This accident changed the course of his life. He was confined to a darkened room for six weeks, worried he’d lost his sight forever. When he did recover, the world looked completely different and life had taken on a new meaning for him.

Rateliff - History of the Hobbit: Vol. 2
The second half of a major new examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit', including his complete unpublished draft version of the story, and many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps by Tolkien himself. The History of the Hobbit presents for the first time, in two volumes, the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself.Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. This second volume picks up Bilbo Baggins' story half-way through his journey and chronicles how, after much adversity, he must still face the mighty dragon, Smaug, carry out the burglary for which he has been recruited, and return safely home to Bag-End. But not everything goes to plan!

The Earl and the Pharaoh
Enter a world of ancient secrets, old money, new ambitions and the discovery of priceless treasure in this revelatory new biography.
Between November 1922 and spring 1923, a door to the ancient Egyptian world was opened. The discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun would be the most astonishing archaeological find of the century, revealing not only the boy pharaoh's preserved remains, but thousands of finely crafted objects, from the iconic gold mask and coffins to a dagger made from meteorite, chalices, beautiful furniture and even 3000-year-old food and wine. The world's understanding of Ancient Egyptian civilisation was immeasurably enhanced, and the quantity and richness of the objects in the tomb is still being studied today. Two men were ultimately responsible for the discovery: Lord Carnarvon and Howard Carter. It was Lord Carnarvon who held the concession to excavate and whose passion and ability to finance the project allowed the eventual discovery to take place.
The Earl and the Pharaoh tells the story of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon. Carnarvon's life, money and sudden death became front-page news throughout the world following the discovery of the tomb, fuelling rumours that persist today of 'the curse of the pharaohs'. His beloved home, Highclere Castle, is today best-known as the set of Downton Abbey.
Drawing on Highclere Castle's never-before-plumbed archives, bestselling author Fiona, the Countess of Carnarvon, charts the twists of luck and tragedies that shaped Carnarvon's life; his restless and enquiring mind that drove him to travel to escape conventional society life in Edwardian Britain.

Daisy Jones & The Six
Rock and roll a javából! Hamarosan tv-sorozatként is hódít! Mindenki ismeri a Daisy Jones & The Sixet, de hogy miért oszlott fel az együttes a népszerűségük csúcsán, azt senki sem tudta… Mostanáig. Daisy Los Angeles-i tinédzser a hatvanas évek végén, aki a Sunset Strip klubjaiba kéredzkedik be, rocksztárokkal fekszik le, és arról álmodik, hogy egy nap majd a Whisky a Go Góban énekelhet. Bár a szex és a drogok is magukkal ragadják, az igazi szenvedélye a rock’n’roll. Húszéves korára felfedezik a hangját és páratlan szépségét, mely könnyen őrültségre sarkallja az embereket. Ekkor vált egyre népszerűbbé a The Six is, a mélabús Billy Dunne együttese. Első turnéjuk előestéjén Billy barátnője, Camila megtudja, hogy terhes, és az apaság és a hírnév nyomása túl sok Billynek, akivel kissé elszalad a ló a turnén. Daisy és Billy útja akkor keresztezi egymást, amikor egy zenei producer rájön, hogy a megasiker kulcsa a páros összehozása. És ami ezután történik, az már maga a legenda.
Ezt a mítoszt járja körbe ez a lebilincselő és felejthetetlen regény, amely a hetvenes évek egyik legnépszerűbb bandájának történetét meséli el visszaemlékezéseken keresztül. Taylor Jenkins Reid tehetséges író, aki új szintre lép a Daisy Jones & The Sixszel, különleges és egyedülálló hangjával zseniálisan mutat be egy kivételes helyet és időszakot.
