The Outsider
My mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know.' In The Outsider (1942), his classic existentialist novel, Camus explores the alienation of an individual who refuses to conform to social norms. Meursault, his anti-hero, will not lie. When his mother dies, he refuses to show his emotions simply to satisfy the expectations of others. And when he commits a random act of violence on a sun-drenched beach near Algiers, his lack of remorse compounds his guilt in the eyes of society and the law. Yet he is as much a victim as a criminal. Albert Camus' portrayal of a man confronting the absurd, and revolting against the injustice of society, depicts the paradox of man's joy in life when faced with the 'tender indifference' of the world. Sandra Smith's translation, based on close listening to a recording of Camus reading his work aloud on French radio in 1954, sensitively renders the subtleties and dream-like atmosphere of L'Etranger. Albert Camus (1913-1960), French novelist, essayist and playwright, is one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His most famous works include The Myth of Sisyphus (1942), The Plague (1947), The Just (1949), The Rebel (1951) and The Fall (1956). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957, and his last novel, The First Man, unfinished at the time of his death, appeared in print for the first time in 1994, and was published in English soon after by Hamish Hamilton. Sandra Smith was born and raised in New York City and is a Fellow of Robinson College, University of Cambridge, where she teaches French Literature and Language. She has won the French American Foundation Florence Gould Foundation Translation Prize, as well as the PEN Book-of-the-Month Club Translation Prize.

David Copperfield
"Like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child," confessed Charles Dickens in the preface of this novel, "and his name is David Copperfield." Millions of readers have taken young David into their hearts as well, weeping over his misfortunes and exulting in his triumphs. Dickens' seventh novel, "David Copperfield," appeared in 1850, by which time he was a British national institution. Based on the author's own tumultuous journey from boy to man, this epic traces David's progress from his mother's sheltering arms to the miseries of boarding-school and sweatshop, and the rewards of friendship, romance, and self-discovery in his vocation as a writer. In addition to its compelling narrative, the great appeal of" David Copperfield" lies in its memorable cast of characters. From Mr. Murdstone, the brutal stepfather, to the scheming clerk Uriah Heep, the novel is peopled by vividly observed characters. Nursemaid Peggoty, bursting with vitality, leaves a trail of flying buttons in her wake. Grandiloquent Mr. Micawber is ever-confident that something will turn up to save his large brood from penury. Kind by wildly eccentric, Aunt Betsey Trotwood accepts counsel from the wise fool, Mr. Dick, and provides a heated reception for trespassing donkeys. Dickens' genius was comic, and "David Copperfield" reflects his view of existence as a mixture of laughter and tears -- with laughter uppermost.

Hová tűnt a nagy szerelem?
A Bergman-univerzum egyik kevésbé ismert szobája nyílik meg ebben a rövid könyvben, amely az észt származású, nemzetközi hírű zongoraművésznő és Ingmar Bergman egymásnak írt (főleg szerelmes) leveleit, valamint a szerző idevágó, egykorú naplóbejegyzéseit tartalmazza.
Laretei és Bergman kapcsolata körülbelül tíz évig tartott az 1960-as években. Mindketten házasságban éltek, egymásba szerettek, elváltak, összeházasodtak, gyerekük született, végül elváltak, de egész életükben jó barátok maradtak.
A könyv egy szép szerelem anatómiája, az önismeret, az öncsalás és önámítás nélküli önelemzés és önfeltárás olvasásra érdemes "talált tárgya".

Rabbit, Run
The first book in his award-winning 'Rabbit' series, John Updike's Rabbit, Run contains an afterword by the author in Penguin Modern Classics.It's 1959 and Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, one time high school sports superstar, is going nowhere. At twenty-six he is trapped in a second-rate existence - stuck with a fragile, alcoholic wife, a house full of overflowing ashtrays and discarded glasses, a young son and a futile job. With no way to fix things, he resolves to flee from his family and his home in Pennsylvania, beginning a thousand-mile journey that he hopes will free him from his mediocre life. Because, as he knows only too well, 'after you've been first-rate at something, no matter what, it kind of takes the kick out of being second-rate'.John Updike (1932-2009) was born in Shillington, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Harvard College in 1954, and spent a year at Oxford, England, at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. From 1955 to 1957 he was a member of staff at The New Yorker. Updike was the author of twenty-one novels as well as numerous collections of short stories, poems and criticism, and is one of only three authors to win more than one Pulitzer Prize. His most famous works are the Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom series, all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics: Rabbit, Run (1960), Rabbit Redux (1971), Rabbit is Rich (1981) and Rabbit at Rest (1990).If you enjoyed Rabbit, Run, you might like Don DeLillo's Americana, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'It is sexy, in bad taste, violent and basically cynical. And good luck to it'Angus Wilson, Observer 'That special polish, that brilliance; Updike is among the best'Malcolm Bradbury'Brilliant and poignant ... By his compassion, clarity of insight, and crystal-bright rose, [Updike] makes Rabbit's sorrow his and our own'Washington Post

Egy amerikai Rómában
Az Alexandra Kiadó ezzel a könyvvel indítja útjára Irwin Shaw műveinek új kiadását. A népszerű amerikai írót a nagyközönség leginkább az Oroszlánkölykök című háborús regény szerzőjeként ismeri, amelyből film is készült az 1960-as években. Időnként még mostanában is felbukkan különböző tévécsatornákon. Azt már talán kevesebben tudják, hogy az 1970-es években az amerikai sokrészes tévésorozatok egyik úttörője az ő regényéből készült, Hosszú, forró nyár címmel. Regényként Szegény ember, gazdag ember címen ismert. Kiadónk arra vállalkozott, hogy a szerző két-három regényét évente ismét közreadja.

Aromareneszánsz
Az aromaterápiával való gyógyítás vegyszermentes, szövődmények nélküli természetes módszer, ami több ezer éves tapasztalaton, generációról generációra átadott tudáson alapszik. Ma már kémiailag is bizonyított tény az illóolajok gyógyító ereje.
Az illóolajok használata az egészségmegőrzésben, gyógyításban és a szépségápolásban több ezer éves múltra tekint vissza. Az aromaterápia nem újkeletű természetgyógyászat, hanem a múltból visszatérő, reneszánszát élő alternatív gyógymód.
Az aromaterápia segítségével javíthatunk életminőségünkön, megelőzhetjük vagy gyógyíthatjuk a betegségeket házilag.
Az könyv Magyarországon elsőként mutatja be az aromaterápia francia gyógyító irányzatát. Az eddig megjelent aromaterápiával foglalkozó hazai kiadványok mind az angol wellness irányzatot képviselték.
A szerzők két évtizedes terápiás és oktatói tapasztalatukkal állították össze ezt a különleges receptgyűjteményt. A könyv egyedisége, hogy mindössze 16 illóolajjal több, mint 160 problémára kínál hatékony megoldást. Valamennyi recept évtizedek óta jól bevált és egyszerűen elkészíthető formula.
A könyv bemutatja a gyógyító aromaterápia tudományos és praktikus oldalát egyaránt. Egy rövid szakmai és történelmi áttekintés után bevezet az illóolajok világába, majd részletesen bemutatja a gyógyító receptekben használt 16 illóolaj, 4 növényi olaj és 2 aromavíz természetét, tulajdonságait, gyógyító erejét.
A könyv második felében található receptgyűjtemény két részből áll, az első a felnőtteknél, a második a gyerekeknél alkalmazható aromaterápiás kezeléseket szedi egy csokorba.
A receptek összeállításakor a szerzők arra törekedtek, hogy minél kevesebb illóolaj felhasználásával minél több problémára kínáljanak megoldás. Az illóolajok kiválasztásánál fontos szempont volt, hogy elérhető árkategóriát képviseljenek, ugyanakkor erőteljes és széleskörű hatással bírjanak. Ezeket a kritériumokat szem előtt tartva a szerzők összeállítottak egy 16-os aranycsapatot, vagyis 16 illóolajat, amely minden otthon vagy utazás hatékony minipatikája lehet.
A könyv minden előképzettség nélkül használható. A húsz éve aromaterapeutaként praktizáló szerzők biztos kézzel segítik laikus olvasóikat a házi gyógyítás gyakorlatának elsajátításában. A receptek egyszerűek és könnyen alkalmazhatóak. A pontos eszközlista és a jól érthető használati útmutató az illóolajok szakszerű alkalmazását teszi lehetővé.
A könyv egyszerűségével és könnyen kezelhetőségével minden érdeklődő számára egy naponta használható természetes gyógymódot tesz elérhetővé.

Vanessa del Rio
Back in 1974, the sexual revolution was in full swing and the adult entertainment business was on the verge of becoming Big Business. Deep Throat had created America’s first porn star in 1972, but by 1974 Linda Lovelace was already retired and the industry was seeking the next big thing. Vanessa del Rio should have been that thing, except in 1974 there were no ethnic sex stars. Undeterred, Vanessa took any role they’d give her, because, amazingly, she was there for the sex more than the money. Fans, awed by her ferocious onscreen sexuality, made her a top box office draw and America’s first Latina star. Retired since 1986, Vanessa del Rio remains a sexual icon who cuts across all ethnic boundaries.
What her fans don’t know is that her real life was, and is, as wild as anything she did on film.
In this sumptuous over-sized volume, TASCHEN celebrates a remarkably candid, confident and exuberantly sexual woman. Presented through Vanessa’s own archive, in her own words, is a life at once shocking, titillating, amusing, and inspiring. And because paper and ink can’t do justice to a personality this big, an original 140 minute DVD documentary is included. If you aren’t already convinced, this book will end all doubt that there could ever be another woman like Vanessa del Rio.
An amazing bargain for those unable to afford the original Collector's and Artist's editions!

Rayne Shoes
Rayne is the name synonymous with the best in British 20th-century shoe design. Re-launched as a British-owned company in 2013, the remarkable design achievements of the company in the 20th-century are illustrated in this sumptuous book. The business began in the late 19th-century as a theatrical costumier and soon added shoes to its products, with a factory in Bermondsey near the current Fashion & Textile Museum. Early clients included the Ballet Russes and Nijinsky. By the 1920s, members of the British Royal family and aristocracy were clients and a shop was opened on Bond Street with a new factory based at King's Cross. By 1950, the company had three royal warrants, had supplied shoes for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) in 1947, and had a strong American presence with Delman Shoes at Bergdorf Goodman, NYC, amongst other locations. Sir Edward Rayne became a celebrity in his own right and collaborated with many famous designers such as Roger Vivier, Bruce Oldfield, Jean Muir, and the "Fashion Knight" Sir Norman Hartnell, and Hardy Amies.In the 1970s, Bill Gibb designed collections for Rayne, and Rayne supplied the shoes for several leading French couturiers houses such as Lanvin and Nina Ricci. In the 1980s Bruce Oldfield designed collections for them. Oliver Messel re-designed the famous Bond Street Store, which attracted stars of stage and screen, such as Elizabeth Taylor, as well as society ladies. Beautifully illustrated, this book offers a complete history of this remarkable brand.
