Aki rám néz erős, határozott férfinak lát. Aki beszél velem, azt gondolja, könyörtelen vagyok. Pedig nekem is vannak gyenge pontjaim. És az a lány a kupiból közéjük tartozik... Botond kilenc éve döntött úgy, hogy szülőhazájából menekülve egy másik ország fővárosában, Londonban próbál szerencsét. Számításai bejöttek, ma egy jól menő cég vezetője, és egy angol milliárdos lányának a férje. A vérbeli alfahím élete első ránézésre tökéletesnek tűnhet, valójában azonban szenved, és a sikerei ellenére magányos. Igazi barátok híján a problémáit magába és alkoholba fojtja, ám amikor összesodorja a sors a magyar lányokat foglalkoztató bordélyház új recepciósával, telefonbeszélgetéseik során megnyílik a csilingelő hangú idegennek. Vajon az őrültségnek tűnő bizalom a teljes összeomláshoz, vagy egy mindent elsöprő, vakon indult szerelemhez vezet? Az ötszörös Aranykönyv-díjas Lakatos Levente új regényében a modern romantikus regények, és a mellbevágó krimik világát elegyítve kalauzolja el olvasóit egy irigyelt, befolyásos férfi lelkének legmélyére.

Mókás, hogy kérdezed
Lángra lobbanhat-e az alvó parázs…?
Akkor:
Chani Horowitz, a huszonéves írópalánta élete valahogy megrekedt. Miközben volt évfolyamtársai a „művészképzőről” színvonalas könyvekkel foglalkozhatnak, neki csupán amolyan felszínes feladatok jutnak. Ám egyszer csak megbízzák azzal, hogy készítsen portrét Gabe Parkerről, a filmsztárról, aki nem más, mint az ő egyes számú imádottja a hírességek közül, egyben a legújabb James Bond alakítója.
Chaninek nincs is más vágya, mint megőrizni a hidegvérét, és jól megoldani a feladatot. Ám ami közte és Gabe között történik, az nem várt módon és alaposan felforgatja az életét: az interjú egy szédületes hétvégébe torkollik, ami lázba hozza a bulvárlapokat, és Chani sokkal közelebb kerül Gabe-hez, mint ahogy azt eredetileg tervezte…
Most:
Tíz évvel később, egy brutális válás és jókora adag terápia után Chani ismét Los Angelesben jár, most már sikeres íróként, aki a megvalósult álmait éli. Ám hiába reklámozhatja legújabb esszégyűjteményét vagy online kiadványait, valahogy mindig szóba jön az a bizonyos portré, és felmerül Gabe neve. Ezért aztán Chani PR-csapata felveti, mi lenne, ha újból találkoznának? Chani először nemet akar mondani, szeretne úgy tenni, mintha már rég elfelejtette volna az együtt töltött időt. De az igazság az, hogy valójában nagyon is tudni szeretné, hogy az a bizonyos hétvége vajon ugyanolyan felejthetetlen volt-e Gabe-nek, mint neki… Úgyhogy beleegyezik.

The Drawings of Vincent van Gogh
The Drawings of Vincent van GoghArranging by theme, from drawings of humble harvesters to beautifully rendered depictions of landscapes, pensive life studies to memorable sketches of the famous Yellow House, eminent art historian Christopher Lloyd encourages readers to consider the artist’s drawings from a fresh viewpoint: documenting successes and failures, experiments, trials, and disappointments.
Primarily self-taught, Van Gogh’s approach to drawing was instinctual, but he soon recognized the importance of mastering the grammar of art, as well as materials and techniques, in order to expresshis emotional responses to a subject as vividly as possible. With examples from the artist’s voluminous and highly charged family correspondence, sketchbooks, and comparative artworks, this engaging study outlines why drawing is central to Van Gogh’s oeuvre, and equal to the intensity and reputation of his paintings.
Featuring works from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, and many other important collections in Europe and the United States, this beautifully illustrated volume offers an extensive interpretation of the artist’s drawings, beyond what has been published to date.

Lacná kniha Azt beszéltük meg, hogy boldog leszel (-70%)
Mindannyian egy tervezhető, tartalmas és kiegyensúlyozott életre vágyunk. Szeretetre, elfogadásra és sikerre. Valamire, amivel nyomot hagyunk a világban. De mi történik akkor, ha a sors olyan feladatot oszt rád, aminek nem bírod el a súlyát, úgy érzed, nem érdemelted meg, és nem érted, mit kezdhetnél vele? Talán épp egy autista gyerekkel.
Nyolc éves volt, amikor elkezdtem leírni a történetét. Születési számom 8 a numerológiában, azaz önmagamat meghaladva szolgáljam a világot. Ha a 8-as számot lefekteted, akkor az önmagába visszatérő folyamatot jelképez. Ebben a végtelen körforgásban a gyerek 18 éves lett, autizmusa nem múlt el, pedig szentül hittem, hogy ezt a „hibát” ÉN kijavítom. De létezik-e kiszabott sors, életfeladat, vajon tényleg azt kap - juk, amit képesek vagyunk megoldani?
Ez a történet azokról a megküzdési stratégiákról, válságokról, anyai-és női önmeghatározásokról szól, ami velünk történt, de talán meg sem történt volna a kód nélkül. Mert az autizmusnak száma is van: F84.0, ami lehetne az Univerzum egy csillagának a neve is, de valójában egy Galaxisé. Az ott élők látszólag olyanok, mint te, csak épp az átlagostól mindenben eltérő mentális működésük folytán, mindazt, amit mi igyekszünk elmaszatolni, azt ők kertelés nélkül az arcunkba tolják.
Az elmúlt 18 évben Gergő megtanított az ő szűrőjén keresztül látni a világot, ahol minden okoskodás ellenére egyetlen megoldás létezik: a SZERETET.

Walter Chandoha. Dogs. Photographs 1941-1991
The world appears to be divided into cat and dog lovers, but fortunately Walter Chandoha, the 20th century's greatest pet photographer found himself happily in the middle. He loved these intriguing creatures equally for their unique beauty and individualism, and as subjects to photograph in a career spanning over 70 years. While working on his critically acclaimed TASCHEN book Cats, Chandoha handpicked his favorite dog photos for a potential follow-up title, putting into carefully marked boxes hundreds of contact sheets, prints, and color transparencies, many unseen for at least 50 years, and some totally unseen.
Chandoha sadly passed away in 2019 at the age of 98, but his legacy lives on in this dashing sequel dedicated to man's best friend. "Walter Chandoha's photographs of dogs are compelling not just because dogs have an inherent charm, but because the person behind the camera was a master of his craft," writes the photography critic Jean Dykstra in the book's introduction.
We see terriers, collies, beagles, bloodhounds, poodles, small dogs, big dogs, show dogs, working dogs, and many more, featuring over 60 breeds photographed in both black-and-white and glorious Kodachrome.Spanning a 50-year period, the book is divided into six sections, and each chapter reveals Chandoha's exceptional combination of technique, versatility, and soul. The opening chapter "In the Studio" focuses on formal portraiture; next it's "Strike a Pose" where our canine companions ham it up for the camera; in "Out and About" they get to roam and play, often photographed with Chandoha's own children; next it's "Best in Show" with Chandoha using his reportage skills to capture vintage dog shows from the Mad Men era; in "Tails from the City," the dogs are hitting the streets of mid-century New York; and in the closing chapter "Country Dogs," it's back to nature, the fields, and the beaches. Dogs is an unleashed photographic tribute to these lovable and loyal creatures.
Beatriz Milhazes
In her vibrant works, the Brazilian painter Beatriz Milhazes fuses two very different worldviews. Her abstract compositions, which can be seen in a line with modernist masters from Henri Matisse to Bridget Riley, are saturated with the colors and light of her native country. Her paintings are strewn with symbols of everyday life in Brazil, invoking carnival, traditional craftsmanship, and motifs from baroque to pop, all choreographed in an exuberant visual rhythm. The colorful atmosphere has an irresistible exotic allure, but as in the works of Paul Gauguin, we find a broken paradise in which darker, more melancholic tones resonate, both in the promises of tropical life and those of modernist abstraction.
In seeking this balance, Milhazes developed a special transfer technique in the late eighties, painting her motifs onto plastic sheets, gluing these to the canvas and letting them dry, and then peeling away the plastic once dry so that the paint remains on the canvas. This method allows the artist to layer surface upon surface and to achieve an iridescence somewhere between radiant aura and shimmering melancholy. Since her breakthrough in the early 1990s, Milhazes has extended the scope of her work to other media, producing screen prints, collages made of chocolate and candy wrappers, sculptures such as giant mobiles made of carnival decorations, site-specific projects that transform building facades into stained glass windows, and experiments with body and rhythm in collaboration with her sister Marcia's ballet ensemble.
This updated edition, which has been expanded to include works made as recently as 2020, explores all of the artist's creative phases, from her beginnings to the present, with over 300 of her works. The book was created in close collaboration with the artist, in both the selection of images and specially designed pages between chapters. It includes a conversation with editor Hans Werner Holzwarth in which the artist unravels her working methods and talks about the ideas and cultural background behind her work. An art historical essay by David Ebony, a poetic dictionary of Milhazes's key motifs by Adriano Pedrosa, and a detailed, updated artist biography by Luiza Interlenghi round off this comprehensive work.Also available in an Art Edition with a silkscreen print signed by Beatriz Milhazes

Koolhaas. Countryside A Report
The rural, remote, and wild territories we call "countryside", or the 98% of the earth's surface not occupied by cities, make up the front line where today's most powerful forces-climate and ecological devastation, migration, tech, demographic lurches-are playing out. Increasingly under a 'Cartesian' regime-gridded, mechanized, and optimized for maximal production-these sites are changing beyond recognition. In his latest publication, Rem Koolhaas explores the rapid and often hidden transformations underway across the Earth's vast non-urban areas.Countryside, A Report gathers travelogue essays exploring territories marked by global forces and experimentation at the edge of our consciousness: a test site near Fukushima, where the robots that will maintain Japan's infrastructure and agriculture are tested; a greenhouse city in the Netherlands that may be the origin for the cosmology of today's countryside; the rapidly thawing permafrost of Central Siberia, a region wrestling with the possibility of relocation; refugees populating dying villages in the German countryside and intersecting with climate change activists; habituated mountain gorillas confronting humans on 'their' territory in Uganda; the American Midwest, where industrial-scale farming operations are coming to grips with regenerative agriculture; and Chinese villages transformed into all-in-one factory, e-commerce stores, and fulfillment centers.
This book is the official companion to the Guggenheim Museum exhibition Countryside, The Future. The exhibition and book mark a new area of investigation for architect and urbanist Rem Koolhaas, who launched his career with two city-centric entities: The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (1975) and Delirious New York (1978). It's designed by Irma Boom, who drew inspiration for the book's pocket-sized concept, as well as its innovative typography and layout, from her research in the Vatican library.
The book brings together collaborative research by AMO, Koolhaas, and students at the Harvard Graduate School of Design; the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing; Wageningen University in the Netherlands; and the University of Nairobi. Contributors also include Samir Bantal, Janna Bystrykh, Troy Conrad Therrien, Lenora Ditzler, Clemens Driessen, Alexandra Kharitonova, Keigo Kobayashi, Niklas Maak, Etta Madete, Federico Martelli, Ingo Niermann, Dr. Linda Nkatha Gichuyia, Kayoko Ota, Stephan Petermann, and Anne M.

Personal Memoirs of General P. H. Sheridan
My parents, John and Mary Sheridan, came to America in 1830, having been induced by the representations of my father's uncle, Thomas Gainor, then living in Albany, N. Y., to try their fortunes in the New World: They were born and reared in the County Cavan, Ireland, where from early manhood my father had tilled a leasehold on the estate of Cherrymoult; and the sale of this leasehold provided him with means to seek a new home across the sea. My parents were blood relations—cousins in the second degree—my mother, whose maiden name was Minor, having descended from a collateral branch of my father's family. Before leaving Ireland they had two children, and on the 6th of March, 1831, the year after their arrival in this country, I was born, in Albany, N. Y., the third child in a family which eventually increased to six—four boys and two girls.
