The Zeppelin's Passenger
Excerpt:"Never heard a sound," the younger of the afternoon callers admitted, getting rid of his empty cup and leaning forward in his low chair. "No more tea, thank you, Miss Fairclough. Done splendidly, thanks. No, I went to bed last night soon after eleven—the Colonel had been route marching us all off our legs—and I never awoke until reveille this morning. Sleep of the just, and all that sort of thing, but a jolly sell, all the same! You hear anything of it, sir?" he asked, turning to his companion, who was seated a few feet away.

The Blue Fairy Book
Andrew Lang's Fairy Books or Andrew Lang's "Coloured" Fairy Books constitute a twelve-book series of fairy tale collections. Although Andrew Lang did not collect the stories himself from the oral tradition, the extent of his sources, who had collected them originally (with the notable exception of Madame d'Aulnoy), made them an immensely influential collection, especially as he used foreign-language sources, giving many of these tales their first appearance in English. As acknowledged in the prefaces, although Lang himself made most of the selections, his wife and other translators did a large portion of the translating and telling of the actual stories.The Blue Fairy Book assembled a wide range of tales, with seven from the Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norse stories, among other sources.(wikipedia)

Valley Of The Dolls
Before Jackie Collins, Candace Bushnell and Lena Dunham, Jacqueline Susann held the world rapt with her tales of the private passions of Hollywood starlets, high-powered industrialists and the jet-set.
Valley of the Dolls took the world by storm when it was first published, fifty years ago. Never had a book been so frank about sex, drugs and show business. It is often sited as the bestselling novel of all time.
Dolls - red or black; capsules or tablets; washed down with vodka or swallowed straight. For Anne, Neely and Jennifer, it doesn't matter, as long as the pill bottle is within easy reach. These three beautiful women become best friends when they are young and in New York, struggling to make their names in the entertainment industry. Only when they reach the peak of their careers do they find there's nowhere left to go but down - to the Valley of the Dolls.

Bowie David - Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders (50th Anniversary Edition) 2CD+BD
David Robert Jones (8. januára 1947 – 10. januára 2016), profesionálne známy ako David Bowie bol anglický spevák, skladateľ a herec. Popredná osobnosť v hudobnom priemysle je považovaný za jedného z najvplyvnejších hudobníkov 20. storočia. Bowie bol uznávaný kritikmi a hudobníkmi, najmä pre jeho inovatívnu prácu v 70. rokoch. Jeho kariéra bola poznačená reinvenciou a vizuálnou prezentáciou a jeho hudba a scénické umenie mali významný vplyv na populárnu hudbu.
V londýnskom Hammersmith Odeone ohromil David Bowie 5000 fanúšikov tým, že sa rozlúčil so Ziggym Stardustom, jeho najznámejším alter-egom. Teraz, pri spomienke na 50. výročie predstavenia, bude po prvý raz uvedený starostlivo zreštaurovaný film a soundtrack. Filmár D.A. Pennebaker (Monterey Pop, Bob Dylan – Don't Look Back, Depeche Mode – 101) zachytil túto historickú príležitosť a zdokumentoval Bowieho a The Spiders From Mars v zákulisí aj na pódiu. Film teraz prešiel digitálnou obnovou 4K pod dohľadom jeho syna Frazera Pennebakera s remastrovaným zvukom.Napriek tomu, že bol nakrútený pred polstoročím, film zostal viac ako desaťročie prevažne nevidený. Avšak film a jeho soundtrack boli nanovo remastrované s mixom 'The Jean Genie/Love Me Do' a 'Round And Round' s legendárnym Jeffom Beckom – táto skladba sa vôbec prvýkrát objavila. Obe predstavenia novo namiešal dlhoročný Bowieho spolupracovník Tony Visconti.Počas šou Bowie predniesol svoj ikonický prejav tesne pred záverečným prídavkom „Rock 'n' Roll Suicide“, v ktorom prekvapil všetkých, vrátane členov svojej kapely, odhalením odchodu svojej osobnosti Ziggy Stardust. Toto významné oznámenie bolo prvým svojho druhu v histórii rock and rollu.

Under the Magnolias - Magnóliák alatt
Az éjszaka, ami nemcsak a szárazság végét jelentette, hanem a régóta őrzött titokét is, melyet a magnóliák alatt rejtegettünk.
Magnólia, Dél-Karolina, 1980.
Austin Foster alig tinédzser, amikor édesanyja ikreknek adva életet, belehal a szülésbe. Ezzel neki kell összeszednie a darabkákat, miközben hat testvérét összetartja, és mindent megtesz, hogy apja ne süppedjen a saját sötétségébe.
A család dohányfarmján összekaparni a betevőt nem éppen zökkenőmentes.
Amikor néhány kedves cselekedet segít enyhíteni Fosterék küzdelmét, Austin azon kapja magát, hogy Magnólia legszínesebb polgáraira támaszkodik, mind barátságban, mind másban. De az igazságot eltitkolni a Nólia birtokon zajló eseményekről közel lehetetlen, és Austin kétségbeesett próbálkozása, hogy fenntartsa a látszatot, csaknem megtöri a lelkét.
Épp, amikor úgy tűnik, többet tartogat számára az élet egy gazdag helyi család fiával, akibe évekkel ezelőtt belezúgott, apja olyan döntést hoz, amely kitárja titkaik ajtaját, és nyilvános számvetéshez vezet. Következményekkel jár, ha olyan fiút szeretsz, mint Vance Cumberland, ám az igazság felszabadító is lehet.
T. I. Lowe merész, mégis gyengéd és felemelő regénye emlékeztet, hogy egy történet lehet nagyszerű, még ha össze is töri a szíved... majd a lehető legjobb módon befoltozza.
Az év legmegindítóbb felnőtté válási története.
Hagyd, hogy felemeljen!
The Young Pitcher
High school senior Ken Ward is on top of the world--he's popular, a somebody. But as a freshman at Wayne University, Ken quickly discovers he's a nobody who's treated like dirt by upperclassmen. When Ken can't stand the harassment anymore, he bursts out of his gloom by slugging a sophomore bully--who turns out to be captain of the varsity baseball team. It looks as if Ken's dream of making that team has gone down the drain... until in a moment of wild excitement he proves himself with, of all things, a potato! And Ken keeps on proving himself until the last out of a heart-pounding league championship game.

The Terranauts
BY THE WINNER OF THE JONATHAN SWIFT PRIZE 2017 Eight people take part in an ecological experiment in 1990s Arizona. Inspired by real events, The Terranauts places human behaviour under the microscope to spellbinding effect Linda is desperate to be one of the lucky eight chosen to take part in the world's most ambitious ecological experiment. She knows that she can survive for two years under the glass dome of Ecosphere II, set in the Arizona desert. Competition is fierce between the hopefuls, among them smooth-talking PR man Ramsay, and Dawn, a naive beauty. Inside the humid microcosm, the terranauts' labours over crops and livestock, their battles with creepy crawlies, their hostilities and sexual dalliances are all observed by tourists who come to gawp, Mission Control's cameras and the watchful eye of the media. As they struggle to control nature, and hunger sets in, the snake in this Eden starts to look unmistakably human...

The Country Beyond
A glass of wine once lost a kingdom, a nail turned the tide of a mighty battle, and a woman's smile once upon a time destroyed the homes of a million people. Thus have trivial things played their potent parts in the history of human lives; yet these things Peter did not know.
