Atlas of the Heart
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brene Brown, writes, "If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection."
In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.
Over the past two decades, Brown's extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown's singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn't give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.
Brown shares, "I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are."

The Fine Print
Rowan
I'm in the business of creating fairy tales.
Theme parks. Production companies. Five-star hotels.
Everything could be all mine if I renovated Dreamland.
My initial idea of hiring Zahra was good in theory, but then I kissed her.
Things spiraled out of control once I texted her using an alias.
By the time I realized where I went wrong, it was too late.
People like me don't get happy endings.
Not when we're destined to ruin them.
Zahra
After submitting a drunk proposal criticizing Dreamland's most expensive ride, I should have been fired.
Instead, Rowan Kane offered me a dream job.
The catch? I had to work for the most difficult boss I'd ever met.
Rowan was rude and completely off-limits, but my heart didn't care.
At least not until I discovered his secret.
It was time to teach the billionaire that money couldn't fix everything.
Especially not us.
The Fine Print is the first book in a series of spicy standalone novels featuring three billionaire brothers.
The History of a Difficult Child
Selam is the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North. The Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live, nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day, the gossip spreading like wildfire.
As Selam's mother, the powerful and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert alongside her. The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades, neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education, freedom, and love.
The History of a Difficult Child is about what happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one difficult child finds her voice.
Dievča v jeho tieni
Nasledovať sen si vyžaduje odvahu
Píše sa rok 1832 a pandémia cholery tvrdo zasiahla Londýn. Nora Beadyová počas nej prišla o celú rodinu a nebyť doktora Horacea Crofta, neprežila by ani ona. Excentrický a brilantný chirurg sa rozhodne ujať mladého dievčaťa, a tým sa pre ňu otvorí nový svet. Nora sa stáva nielen jeho chránenkyňou, ale aj pomocníčkou a žiačkou. Kým iné dievčatá sa učia vyšívať a maľovať akvarely, ona zašíva rany a pripravuje anatomické nákresy. Napriek tomu, že ženy majú vykonávanie lekárskej praxe zakázané, Croftova klinika je pre Noru bezpečným miestom. Až do chvíle, keď sa na jej prahu objaví doktor Daniel Gibson – nový sekundujúci chirurg.
Daniel netuší, že schopnosti mladej ženy ďaleko prevyšujú jeho vlastné. Najmä keď Nora hrá rolu poslušnej mladej dámy, aby ochránila povesť svojho dobrodinca. Držať sa bokom je ťažšie, než sa zdá. Nepomáhajú ani vzájomné sympatie, ktoré sa medzi nimi napriek všetkému vyvinú. A tak Nora stojí pred neľahkou voľbou. Ostane aj naďalej neviditeľná a dovolí iným prevziať zásluhy za jej výskum, alebo ukáže svetu, kým naozaj je?

Lacná kniha Eva Luna (-70%)
En esta novela Isabel Allende recupera su país a través de la memoria y la imaginación. La cautivadora protagonista de esta historia constituye un nostálgico álter ego de la autora, que se llama a si misma ladrona de historias precisamente porque en las historias radica el secreto de la vida y el mundo. Novela de hondo perfil humano, funde el destino individual con el colectivo mediante una fulgurante prosa de carácter épico. Sin duda, una de las mejores obras de la literatura latinoamericana de los últimos aos.

Az igazi
"Vagy visszajön hozzám ez az ember, belülről és egészen, tartózkodás és szégyenérzet nélkül, vagy én megyek el tőle. Vagy van valamilyen titka, melyet én nem ismerek, s akkor kiásom ezt a titkot, ha kell, kikaparom tíz körmömmel, a föld alól is, mint a kutyák az elásott csontot, mint az őrült szerelmesek elhalt kedvesük tetemét, vagy megbuktam, és félre kell állnom. Ezt így nem csinálom tovább. Mondom, elhatároztam, hogy meghódítom a férjem."
"Az olvasó azt hihetné, hogy ugyanannak a történetnek a színét és a visszáját kapja a regényben, azért, hogy eldönthesse, melyik félnek van igaza. Azért, hogy állást foglalhasson a konfliktusban. De Márai ravaszabbul irányítja a kettős történetet. A kettő nem ugyanannak a megfordítása, hanem egymás kiegészítője, az első részben felbukkanó titok csak a másodikban kerül megfejtésre. A harmadik személy, aki olyan sok regényben és drámában a valódi mozgatója a cselekménynek, itt egy egészen váratlan dimenzióba viszi át a regény súlypontját."

Sötét lelkek 2: A holló
A test elpusztítható, de a szív törhetetlen...
Azt mondják, a gonosz mindig megtalálja azt, aki hozzá hasonló. Én is az lettem volna, amikor gyerekként megkörnyékezett? Mert megtette. Ádázul elpusztított, majd újraalkotott. Évekig élősködött a testemen és a lelkemen, hogy egy napon erősebb emberként születhessek újjá. Érinthetetlenként...
Itt állok az alvilág kapujában, ahol a pokol már mindenkinek baráti törzshelye. Beléphetsz te angyalként is, de szárnya csak a legbátrabbaknak marad. Én mégis beléptem azon a bizonyos kapun. Mert semmi nincs olyan veszélyes és csábító, mint egy gyönyörű fenevad, akinek a kegyetlensége előtt mindenki meghajol. Én is fejet hajtottam és behódoltam neki.
Cserébe vágyakat és álmokat kaptam.
De tudom, hogy egy nap a nagy fehér farkas eljön értem, belém mélyeszti éles fogait, és letépi a szárnyaimat.
A holló a Sötét lelkek-sorozat második, egyben befejező kötete, ahol kiderül, ki az igazi vadász. A maffia nem ad második esélyt, ahogy a kegyetlen orosz Pakhan sem. Marilyn Miller megmutatja, milyen az, amikor összemosódnak két világ szabályai, felszínre törnek emlékek és titkok, amik megválaszolják a legsúlyosabb kérdést. Vajon tudnak a sötét lelkek tiszta szívből szeretni?

1984

The year is 1984 and war and revolution have left the world unrecognisable. Great Britain, now known as Airstrip One, is ruled by the Party, led by Big Brother. Mass surveillance is everything and The Thought Police are employed to ensure that no individual thinking is allowed.
Winston Smith works at The Ministry of Truth, carefully rewriting history, but he dreams of freedom and of rebellion. It is here that he meets and falls in love with Julia. They start a secret, forbidden affair - but nothing can be kept secret, and they are forced to face consequences more terrifying than either of them could have ever imagined.
Lacná kniha Sum Of Our Days (-70%)
A brilliant memoir from the celebrated Chilean novelist on friends, family and life in California, her adopted home. Isabel Allende has sold more than 50 million copies of her books worldwide. The most beloved and successful of her books, 'The House of the Spirits', was based on her Chilean childhood, and her autobiographical works include the deeply moving 'Paula' -- a family history written at the bedside of her daughter while she lay in a coma -- and the fascinating 'My Invented Country', which explored the events of her native Chile where she lived until Pinochet's military coup. Now, in 'The Sum of the Days', we have Isabel describe in an exceptionally vivid, human and deeply personal way her life in California where she has lived for more than 25 years. The first page picks up from where Paula ends -- her daughter never did wake up from her coma and died in 1992 -- when Allende recounts spreading Paula's ashes in her favourite part of the woods by their home. It is fair to say that Isabel has never recovered from losing her daughter but has managed to survive by keeping her husband, son, grandchildren as well as close friends -- kindred spirits -- central to her life.' The Sum of the Days', based on Allende's own journals and daily correspondence with her mother in Chile, reveals the author to be a dazzling, generous, warm and hysterically funny matriarch within her swirl of family and friends.

Na vine sú hviezdy
Odkedy Hazel v trinástich rokoch diagnostikovali rakovinu štítnej žľazy v štvrtom štádiu, pripravovala sa na vlastnú smrť. Potom sa stal medicínsky zázrak a metastázy v pľúcach sa jej zmenšili. Odvtedy nechodí do školy, nemá priateľov a nevie, ako vyzerá normálny život, lebo je hadičkami pripútaná ku kyslíkovej fľaši a užíva silné lieky, aby sa nádory nerozširovali ďalej. Na nenávidenom stretnutí podpornej skupiny pre pacientov s rakovinou však spozná Augusta Watersa, ktorý má štýl, rakovinu na ústupe a oči len pre ňu. S ním začne objavovať dosiaľ nepoznaný svet lásky na pomedzí života a smrti.

Lufi és a hajmeresztő szerelem
Lufi és régi barátja, Szamóca kapcsolata új irányokat vesz. "Amikor véletlenül összefutok Szamócával, és ő rám emeli a kedves vadgesztenye szemét, akkor én egy jókora ütést érzek a mellkasomban, amitől néhány percre teljesen megbénulok, jéghideg lesz a tenyerem, és fülig vörösödöm..." - vallja be Lufi. Mindez, annyira felzaklatja, hogy például rövidre vágatja haját, amivel az egész osztály előtt nevetségessé válik. Azonban nemcsak ő, hanem körülötte szinte mindenkit utolér a szerelem, így például Pierre-t, a szomszéd francia fiút, a mindig csinos Gombos Zsuzsit, a gimi rocksztárját Bitász Ferit, a kényeskedő Pál Laurát sőt még Szamócát is. Hogy mi lesz mindebből, az kiderül a sorozat negyedik részéből.
Mr. Kafka and Other Tales
Enter the gas-lit streets of post-war Prague, the steelworks run by singed men, the covered market that smells of new-born babes, the cacophonous open-air dance hall. Mr Kafka is avoiding his landlady’s blueberry wine breath, a stonemason witnesses the destruction of a monument to Stalin he risked his life to build, and factory men strain to catch a glimpse of a beautiful bathing murderess. In these newly discovered stories, Hrabal captures men and women in an eerily beautiful nightmare and their spirit in all its misery and splendour.
Bohumil Hrabal was born in 1914 in Brno-Zidenice, Moravia. He received a degree in Law from Prague's Charles University, and lived in Prague since the late 1940s. In the 1950s he worked as a manual laborer in the Kladno ironworks, from which he drew inspiration for his 'hyper-realist' texts he was writing at that time. He won international acclaim for such books as I Served the King of England and Too Loud a Solitude. Hrabal is considered, along with Jaroslav Hasek and Karel Capek, as one of the greatest Czech writers of the 20th century, and perhaps the most important in the post-war period. In February 1997 he flew out of his hospital window never to return.
