The epic sequel to the New York Times bestselling Passenger, perfect for fans of Outlander and Red Queen.
'Riveting, romantic ... Fans of Outlander will see so much of Claire in Etta.' - VICTORIA AVEYARD, #1 New York Times best-selling author
Texas, 1905
Etta Spencer didn't know she was a traveller until the day she found herself not just miles, but years from home. Now, Etta is stranded in time and separated from the boy she loves. At the mercy of a family she once thought her enemy, Etta learns of a new Ironwood plot, more dangerous than she could have imagined: to destroy the future she longs to return to.
The Bahamas, 1776
Devastated by Etta's disappearance, Nicholas enlists the help of Sophia Ironwood. But after a deadly mistake derails their search, an ancient power emerges, more frightening than the Ironwoods' plot - a power that threatens to eradicate time altogether.
Into the Unknown
From New York City to San Francisco, Imperial Russia to the Vatican catacombs, Etta and Nicholas must desperately fight to reach each other...
The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Passenger series.

David Copperfield
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show'. Dickens' epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature. It chronicles David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life, as he encounters villains, saviours, eccentrics and grotesques, including the wicked Mr Murdstone, stout-hearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber and odious Uriah Heep. Dickens' great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood, and which he described as a 'favourite child') is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Odyssey
'I long to reach my home and see the day of my return. It is my never-failing wish' The epic tale of Odysseus and his ten-year journey home after the Trojan War forms one of the earliest and greatest works of Western literature. Confronted by natural and supernatural threats - shipwrecks, battles, monsters and the implacable enmity of the sea-god Poseidon - Odysseus must test his bravery and native cunning to the full if he is to reach his homeland safely and overcome the obstacles that, even there, await him. E. V. Rieu's translation of the Odyssey was the very first Penguin Classic to be published, and has itself achieved classic status. For this edition, Rieu's text has been revised, and a new introduction by Peter Jones complements the original introduction.
Man for Himself
Erich Fromm fought long and hard for the rights and freedoms of the individual. He also recognized that fundamental to this pursuit is the promotion of self-knowledge. In encouraging people to analyze their own behavior, Fromm identified the crucial link between psychology and ethics that underpins all our actions. Moreover, he saw in this a way out of the meaningless impasse which he regarded as the plight of the modern human race. The task that Fromm sets himself, therefore, in Man for Himself is no less than to identify "what man is, how he ought to live, and how the tremendous energies within man can be released and used productively." The resulting book is ample witness to Fromm's success. It makes for exciting, illuminating, even life-changing reading.

Theuerdank
The Last Knight
The legendary tales of Emperor Maximilian, the first ruler to employ the new possibilities of book printing
The amazing tales of the knight Theuerdank and his companion, Ehrenhold, comprise the last great epic verse of the late Middle Ages. The courageous knight’s journey to woo his future wife, Mary of Burgundy, and his triumph in battles and other perilous acts of bravery are the focus of this highly embellished "real-life" story of Emperor Maximilian I (1459–1519).
A king of Germany before becoming Holy Roman Emperor in 1508, Maximilian was a great patron of the arts and commissioned a trilogy of luxurious illustrated books to immortalize his existence. Theuerdank, the only volume to be published during his lifetime, was composed by Melchior Pfinzing based on Maximilian’s rather fanciful draft. The 118 ornate, gold-adorned woodcuts?one for each chapter?were made by Hans Burgkmair the Elder, Hans Schäufelein, and Leonhard Beck, while the typeface (known as the Theuerdank typeface and marked by its striking “elephant trunks”) was especially designed for the book by the printing workshop of Hans Schönsperger the Elder.
Theuerdank (named after Maximilian’s adventure-seeking alter ego) is both of great historical significance and exceptional beauty. Black-and-white originals dating from the 16th century occasionally surface and have fetched prices up to L35,000?but now the entire work can be appreciated, in stunning color and quality, at an accessible price.
This complete reprint, made to exacting standards from an extremely rare hand-colored original from the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Munich, comes with an essay by Stephan Füssel (covering Maximilian’s life and work, as well as his role in the art of printing and use of printed materials) and selections from Melchior Pfinzing’s original clavis, or “key,” which was included in the original to kindly point out to Maximilian’s contemporaries exactly what part of the tales were more fiction than fact. The collection also contains a chapter-by-chapter re-telling of the tales in modern vernacular, exploring the narrative strategy and real events behind the allegories.

Orgyilkos osztály - Deadly Class 3.
A Haláltanok Királyi Iskolájában, a hírhedt orgyilkosképző tanintézményben a vége felé közeledik a tanév. Marcus Lopez problémái meglehetősen eltérnek korosztályának tipikus gondjaitól. Múltját számos bűntett - és jó néhány holttest - csúfítja, és ez immár barátait is komolyan veszélyezteti.
Marcus világában könnyen rosszra fordulnak a dolgok. Amikor őt és társait újabb csapás éri, az eddigi barátságok megkérdőjeleződnek, a korábbi szövetségek és vonzalmak átrendeződnek, és ő rádöbben, hogy ez a darabjaira hulló, torz világ a kíméletleneké és az önzőké, a hatalom pedig azok jussa, akiknek semmi sem drága azért, hogy megszerezzék. Ebben a világban a szerelem, a barátság, a tisztesség csak célponttá tesz és a mélybe ránt.
Amikor pedig úgy tűnik, ennél rosszabb már nem lehet, elérkezik a tanév vége - és ebben az iskolában a záróvizsgát halálosan komolyan veszik!
A kötet a Deadly Class sorozat 12-16. számát tartalmazza

Marx, marxizmus, szocializmus
A brit Royal Society 2000-ben titkos szavazást tartott arról, hogy ki az elmúlt évezred három legnagyobb gondolkodója.
Az eredmény:
1. Karl Marx,
2. Isaac Newton,
3. Albert Einstein
Sokakat meglephet a sorrend, ám ha belegondolunk, tagadhatatlan, hogy Marxnál erőteljesebben talán egyetlen gondolkodó sem "forgatta fel" a világot.
Az egyetemi docens szerző, dr. Gazdag László izgalmas történelmi kalandra hív: ismerjük meg az igazi Marxot, Marx filozófiáját, kommunisztikus elképzeléseit, illetve annak előképeit, továbbá Marx gazdaságelméletét, közgazdaságtanát, majd mindezek változását, marxizmussá, szocializmussá válását.
"Az emberiségnek mindig voltak álmai egy jobb, igazságosabb társadalomról, mint Platón Köztársasága, Morus Tamás Utópiája, Campanella Napállama vagy Marx proletárdiktatúrája." (Paul Samuelson, Nobel-díjas közgazdász)

In the Heart of the Sea - The Epic True Story That Inspired 'Moby Dick'
The epic true-life story of one of the most notorious maritime disasters of the nineteenth century - and inspiration for 'Moby-Dick' - reissued to accompany a major motion picture due for release in December 2015, directed by Ron Howard and starring Chris Hemsworth, Benjamin Walker and Cillian Murphy. When the whaleship Essex set sail from Nantucket in 1819, the unthinkable happened. A mere speck in the vast Pacific ocean - and powerless against the forces of nature - Essex was rammed and sunk by an enraged sperm whale, and her twenty crewmen were forced to take to the open sea in three small boats. Ninety days later only a handful of survivors were rescued - and a terrifying story of desperation, cannibalism and courage was revealed...One of the greatest sea yarns ever spun, 'In the Heart of the Sea' is the true story of the extraordinary events that inspired Herman Melville's masterpiece 'Moby-Dick'.

Miközben Erica a nagyanyjuk által hátrahagyott örökséget rendezgeti, megrohanják a rég elfeledettnek hitt emlékek. Minden
egyes pillanat a múlt képeit, hangjait és illatait rebbenti fel benne, akár a szél a pillangókat egy nyári réten. Erica térben és időben tett sétái közben fokozatosan feltárul előttünk a két testvér gyermekkora, egészen addig a végzetes napig, amiko
r is unokatestvérük, Henry, nyomtalanul eltűnt...
Az emlékek megvilágítják nagyanyjuk, a megkeseredett és mélységes gyűlölettel teli nő történetét is, majd még tovább vezetnek a századforduló Oklahomájába, dédnagyanyjukhoz, a gyönyörű és szívtelen ör
ökösnőhöz.
Erica a múlt töredékeit kutatva generációkon átívelő titkokra bukkan, és miután fellebbenti róluk a hallgatás fátylát, többé nem menekülhet el a fájdalmas igazságok elől, amelyek nyomán saját élettörténetét is újra kell írnia.
Múlt és jele
n találkozik - Ericának és Bethnek rettenetes bűnökkel kell szembenézniük, s a szívszaggató örökséggel, amely rájuk maradt.
