"A szíved mélyén, ha nem kellene választanod, megtennéd?"
A tét egyszerű: a tizenkilencéves Cecilia Hornernek egy dolga van - át kell vészelnie egy évet Triple Falls kisvárosában, ahol a családjától különélő apjánál lakik és munkát kell vállalnia az apja gyárában. Cserébe az apja fizeti a főiskolai tandíját, és egy kisebb vagyont is biztosít, amiből Cecilia segítheti egyedülálló anyját.
De minden megváltozik, amikor az első munkanapján megismerkedik a helyi fiúval, a szexi Seannal. Sean összehozza összetartó baráti körével, köztük a titokzatos Dominic-kal. A társaság a saját törvényei szerint él, és ugyanolyan hollót ábrázoló tetoválásuk van...
Cecilia mindig is óvatos volt, de most elvakítják a Sean és Dominic iránti egyre erősödő érzései, és úgy dönt, kiélvezi az utolsó szabad nyarát, és nyit az új élmények felé, repítsék azok bárhova is...

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.

OWC House of the Seven Gables
In the final years of the seventeenth century in a small New England town, the venerable Colonel Pyncheon decides to erect a ponderously oak-framed and spacious family mansion. It occupies the spot where Matthew Maule, `an obscure man', had lived in
a log hut, until his execution for witchcraft. From the scaffold, Maule points his finger at the presiding Colonel and cries `God will give him blood to drink!' The fate of Colonel Pyncheon exerts a heavy influence on his descendants in the crumbling
mansion for the next century and a half. Hawthorne called his novel a `Romance', drawing on the Gothic tradition which embraced and exploited the thrills of the supernatural. Unlike The Scarlet Letter, with its unrelentingly dark view of human natur
e and guilt, Hawthorne sought to write `a more natural and healthy product of my mind', a story which would show guilt to be a trick of the imagination. The tension between fantasy and a new realism underpins the novel's descriptive virtuosity.

The Invention of Medicine
Medicine is one of the great fields of achievement of the Ancient Greeks. Hippocrates is celebrated worldwide as the father of medicine and the Hippocratic Oath is admired throughout the medical profession as a founding statement of ethics and ideals. In the fifth century BC, Greeks even wrote of medicine as a newly discovered craft they had invented.
Robin Lane Fox's remarkable book puts their invention of medicine in a wider context, from the epic poems of Homer to the first doctors known to have been active in the Greek world. He examines what we do and do not know about Hippocrates and his Oath and the many writings that survive under his name. He then focuses on seven core texts which give the case histories of named individuals, showing that books 1 and 3 belong far earlier than previously recognised. Their re-dating has important consequences for the medical awareness of the great Greek dramatists and the historians Herodotus and Thucydides. Robin Lane Fox pieces together the doctor's thinking from his terse observations and relates it in a new way to the history of Greek prose and ideas.
This original and compelling book opens windows onto many other aspects of the classical world, from women's medicine to street-life, empire, art, sport, sex and even botany. It fills a dark decade in a new way and carries readers along an extraordinary journey form Homer's epics to the grateful heirs of the Greek case histories, first in the Islamic world and then in early modern Europe.
Jean Paul Belmondo
BEBEL neboli BELMONDO. Rozpláclý nos, široký neodolatelný úsměv ve víru vrásek, kukuč šibalského šprýmaře, šaška či klauna, zároveň však image tvrdého a nekompromisního policajta i sympatického zločince nebo romantického hrdiny. To všechno jsou tváře ikony francouzského filmu Jeana-Paula Belmonda. Rebela a rošťáka, hlavní postavy francouzské nové vlny a jednoho z nejznámějších symbolů země galského kohouta dvacátého století, který po dlouhá léta patřil k nejlepším exportním artiklům francouzské kinematografie.
Jeho kouzlo nezasáhlo jen Evropu, ale celý svět. Díky snímku "U konce s dechem" vznikl v roce 1967 Bonnie a Clyde s Warrenem Beattym a Faye Dunawayovou, Quentin Tarantino zase přiznal, že bez Belmonda by nebylo jeho autorské bible Pulp Fiction, natočené v roce 1994.
Za svou padesátiletou profesionální kariéru Jean-Paul natočil víc jak 80 filmů, které navštívilo na 150 milionů diváků po celém světě. Klobouk dolů...
Revoluční snímek U konce s dechem režiséra Jeana-Luca Godarda z roku 1960 odstartoval nejen Belmondovu hvězdnou kariéru, ale i tzv. francouzskou novou vlnu, kterou se později inspirovali i českoslovenští režiséři v čele s Milošem Formanem, Ivanem Passerem, Věrou Chytilovou, Jiřím Menzelem, Jurajem Jakubiskem nebo Jurajem Herzem. Naplno se v něm projevilo Bébelovo charisma a obrovský herecký talent. Ten prokázal ve stoupající míře i v následujících filmech, patřících dnes už do zlatého fondu francouzské i světové kinematografie: Cartouche, Mužové z Ria, Hongkongku a Acapulca, Manželé z roku II, Borsalino, Zvíře, Policajt nebo rošťák, Profesionál, Dobrodruh, Veselé Velikonoce, Bezva finta, Samotář nebo Poloviční šance.
Jeho kariéra i osobní život jsou často srovnávány s vrstevníkem a neméně velkou ikonou francouzského filmu, Alainem Delonem, který byl jeho rivalem, ale nakonec i přítelem. Na plátně se potkali poprvé už v roce 1957 ve filmu Buď hezká a mlč, celkově ale pouze třikrát. Jean-Paul o jejich celoživotním soupeření a vztahu řekl v roce 2018 u příležitosti svých 85. narozenin:
"Povahově různí, ale oba současně bezstarostní a vášnivě zaujatí svým povoláním se stáváme přáteli. A to přesto, že jsme byli protikladní - já veselý a sympatický, on zasmušilý a introvertní. Já klasicky vzdělaný herec, on se stal hercem náhodou."
Zaplaťpámbu za ta slova, vždyť filmové fanoušky jejich roztržka kvůli filmu Borsalino a následující víc jak dvacet let trvající nekomunikace mrzely.
Autorka portrétních knih známých osobností líčí životní peripetie Jeana-Paula Belmonda i v souvislosti s osudy Alaina Delona.

She’s going to make certain he survives his inheritance—and the only way to do that is to help him catch the murderer!? ? ? ? ?"I read straight through the night. I kept telling myself that I needed to put it down and get some sleep, but it was so interesting and exciting that I just had to see what happened next. Finally, at 7am, I read the last word and thought 'Wow, just wow.'"~ Barbara @ NetGalleyLength: Full-length novel of 85,000 wordsSensuality level: A Regency romance with steamy love scenes *Winner of the 2019 Romance Writers of New Zealand Long Romance of the Year Award**Winner of the 2019 Romance Writers of New Zealand Best Overall Romance of the Year Award*Q & A with the authorHow would you describe this series?It's Regency England with passion, danger, adventure, humor, romance—and a dash of magic. The stories are emotional, but not sweet. There’s sex, and my heroes do swear at times!Hang on. Did you say magic?I did. But don't worry—the books are first and foremost historical romances. Only a few characters have magic, and it’s a deep, dark secret, and no one else knows.But … do magic and Regency England go together?Definitely! Many years ago I read Sorcery and Cecelia (or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot) by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and totally loved it and ever since then I’ve thought that Regency England and magic go very well together.How would you describe your writing?Several reviewers have likened my writing to Georgette Heyer, which is the hugest compliment ever. I adore Georgette Heyer! She’s why I write historical romance, and I reread her books over and over. (If you’ve not read The Grand Sophy, please do so!) I’ve also had readers compare my writing to Courtney Milan and Mary Balogh, which are also massive compliments.What order should I read the series in?Each book, whether a novel or novella, can be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read them in order.
