Varázslatos szerelem
Légy óvatos azzal, mit is kívánsz! Lehet, hogy minden valóra válik…Most, hogy Erin megtudta az igazságot a lányokról, akik kiközösítették, és a fiúról, akit szeret, úgy érzi, az érettségi előtti idő egyre gyorsabban fogy. Amíg egykor még a nyári szünet előtti napokat számolták vissza, most már ténylegesen az utolsó napjaikat töltik Blackwellben. Szülei, Sam és Julianne attól félnek, hogy most, hogy végre megtalálták Erint, mégis el kell engedniük őt, a feszültség pedig csak egyre nő azóta, hogy Erin rájött, ki is ő valójában. Weston egyre rosszabbul érzi magát, ahogyan telnek a nyári napok, hiszen a lány, akit gyerekkora óta szeret, más főiskolára megy, mint ő. A legnagyobb félelme, hogy ez azt jelenti, elválnak útjaik. Miközben próbálja a legjobbat kihozni a maradék időből, és elérni, hogy minél több maradandó emlékük legyen, folyamatosan kétségek között őrlődik. Rájön, hogy a remény olyan, mint a folyós homok: minél jobban szenved ő, annál gyorsabban süllyed Erin.

The Book of Legendary Lands
In the tradition of On Beauty, On Ugliness and The Infinity of Lists, Umberto Eco presents an enthralling and erudite illustrated tour of the fabled places that have awed and eluded us through the ages. From the epic poems of Homer to contemporary science fiction, from the Holy Scriptures to modern mythology and fairy tale, literature and art are full of illusory places we have at some time believed are real, and onto which we have projected our dreams, ideals and fears. Umberto Eco leads us on an illuminating journey through these legendary lands - Atlantis, Thule and Hyperborea, the Earth's interior and the Land of Cockaigne - and explores utopias and dystopias where our imagination can confront concepts that are too incredible, or too challenging, for our limited real world. In The Book of Legendary Lands the author's text is accompanied by several hundred carefully assembled works of art and literature; the result is a beautifully illustrated volume with broad and enduring appeal.

American Gods + Anansi Boys
Newly updated and expanded with the author s preferred text.A modern masterpiece from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman.
First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, lauded for its brilliant synthesis of mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose (Washington Post) and as a modern phantasmagoria that distills the essence of America (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is the story of Shadow released from prison just days after his wife and best friend are killed in an accident who gets recruited to be bodyguard, driver, and errand boy for the enigmatic trickster, Mr. Wednesday. So begins Shadow s dark and strange road trip, one that introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own. For, beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing an epic war for the very soul of America and Shadow is standing squarely in its path.
Pointed, occasionally comic, often scary, consistently moving and provocative .American Gods is strewn with secrets and magical visions. USA Today

t ezúttal a New York-i tőzsde kéri fel szakértőnek, mert bizonyos jelek alapján arra következtetnek, hogy a rendszer a közhidelem ellenére támadható. Jeff nemcsak bebizonyítja, hogy lyukas a rendszer, hanem azt is felfedezi, hogy ezt néhány belső alk
almazott is kihasználja. Ezt követően fizikai és internetes támadások érik. Hogy tisztázza magát, Jeffnek meg kell keresnie a lopások elkövetőit. Ez nemcsak azért fontos, hogy igazolja ártatlanságát, hanem azért is, hogy megakadályozza több milliárd
dollár virtuális elrablását - ami akár a világméretű pénzügyi rendszer összeomlását is okozhatja.
Jeff ezúttal sem csak a számítógép előtt ülve harcol: társa, egy volt CIA-ügynök kemény fegyveres harcba keveredik az egyik Sao Paulo-i bandával, amely
et cheféje számítógépes rablóbandává fejleszt. A jól megszervezett támadás, amely a "sok kicsi sokra megy" elve alapján hatalmas hasznot hozott volna az elkövetőknek részben a mohóság, részben alkalmatlan ember bevonása, de nagyobb részt Jeff és az ő
t távolról segítő Daryl - akit a korábbi regényekből ismerünk - informatikai zsenialitása révén hiúsul meg.
A virtuális és valóságos csatározások leírása mellett új szempont is megjelenik - az eddigiekben hősei és ellenfelei egyaránt morális indítékok szerint viselkedtek, még ha ezek a morálok más és más alapon álltak. Most a gazemberek tudatos bűnözők, de az ellenük folyó harcnak is vannak erkölcsi árnyékai. Mark bevezeti az olvasót a tőzsde, főleg az elektronikus részvénykereskedelem rejtelmeibe, egy olyan világba, amelyről mostanában sok hír jelenik meg, de a hétköznapi olvasó számára ismeretlen terület.

This tale of how people and peoples have been helped by angels and other angelic beings is woven into a spellbinding narrative that brings together Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Elijah, Mary and Jesus, Mohammed, Joan of Arc, the angels who helped Hungarian Jews persecuted by the Nazis, and stories from African, Native American and Celtic traditions. Told from the spiritual point of view, The Sacred History relates every betrayal, every change of heart, every twist and turn, everything that looks like a coincidence, every portent, every clue, every defeat, every rescue moments before the prison door clangs shut. This is the angelic version of events.

Newton, SUMO, 20th Anniversary
The Helmut Newton SUMO was a titanic book that towered above anything previously attempted. Twenty years later, we celebrate the legacy of this publishing venture in an XL edition, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton and revised by his wife June. Gathering464 imagesand a new bookletthat takes us through the making of the SUMO, it’s a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life photographer.
Helmut Newton(1920–2004) always showed a healthy disdain for the easy or predictable, so it’s no surprise that the SUMOwas an irresistible project. The idea of a book the size of a private exhibition, with spectacular images reproduced to state-of-the-art origination and printing standards, emerged from an open, experimental dialogue between photographer and publisher. With the SUMOweighing in—boxed and shrink-wrapped—at 35.4 kg (just under 80 pounds), Newton created a landmark book that stood head and shoulders above anything previously attempted, both in terms of conceptual extravagance and technical specifications.
Published in an edition of 10,000 signed and numbered copies, the SUMOsold out soon after publication and quickly multiplied its value. It now features in numerous collections around the world, including New York’s Museum of Modern Art. The legendary copy number one, signed by more than 100 of the book’s featured celebrities, broke the record for the most expensive book published in the 20th century, sold at an auction in Berlin on April 6, 2000 for 620,000 German marks—about 317,000 euros.
Now, this XL edition celebrates 20 years of SUMO, the result of a project conceived by Helmut Newton some years ago. Revised by his wife June, the volume gathers464 images and a newbooklet that takes us through the making-of this publishing venture—a spectacular tribute to the larger-than-life Helmut Newton, now in a friendly format.

The photographer
Helmut Newton(1920–2004) was one of the most influential photographers of all time. He first achieved international fame in the 1970s while working principally for French Vogue, and became celebrated for his controversial scenarios, bold lighting, and striking compositions in street or interior settings, rather than studios. His many titles and awards included Commandeur de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
The editor
June Newton, née Browne, was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1923. As a young woman she was passionately interested in the theater, and worked as an actress under the name June Brunell, receiving the Erik Kuttner Award in 1956. She married the photographer Helmut Newton in Melbourne in 1948 and became a photographer herself in 1970, changing her name once again to Alice Springs. Her work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and publications, including Vanity Fair,Interview,Elle, and Vogue. Her many famous subjects include William S. Burroughs, Catherine Deneuve, Graham Greene, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Mapplethorpe, Yves Saint Laurent, and Nicole Kidman.
Growth Map
Jim O'Neill, one of the most influential economists today, shares his insights on how and why he developed one of the most compelling economic concepts of our time in "The Growth Map". "O'Neill has redefined how investors and Western business leaders see the world. This book tells the unlikely story of how O'Neill developed this path-breaking idea ...lively, powerful and highly accessible". (Gillian Tett, "Financial Times"). Ten years ago, Jim O'Neill predicted that globalization would help Brazil, Russia, India and China (the BRICs) - busy, ambitious countries full of raw materials - overtake the largest Western economies. With all four BRIC nations set to do just that, no other idea has proved as significant for the new century. But these changes have provoked business and political uncertainty and in "The Growth Map" O'Neill examines what is coming next.

Crucible - The Year that Forged Our World
The Times Book of the Year
BBC History Magazine Book of the Year
Daily Telegraph Book of the Year
BOOK OF THE WEEK - The Times
`The strength of this book lies in the cold realities it delivers. "The thirteen months of 1947-48," writes Fenby, "provide trenchant examples of how realpolitik can serve a wider purpose if those in power know how to use it." Crucible captures perfectly the urgency of the time...Read this book for the light it shines on a turbulent time; cherish it for the lessons it provides' - Gerard DeGroot
'Looking back 70 years Jonathan Fenby argues convincingly that the period from 1947 to 1948 "really did change the world". His book is an assured gallop across the terrain of contemporary history in this fateful year. The global devastation of the second world war had smashed longstanding institutions and bankrupted empires, leaving behind the kind of power vacuums that were major openings for change and chaos. Crucible swings from one region to the next in a fast-moving account of how local actors filled those vacuums, often with violence.'
Mary Sarote, Financial Times
One year shaped the world we know today. This is the page-turning story of the pivotal changes which were forged in the space of thirteen months of 1947-48
Two years after the end of the second conflict to engulf the world in twenty years, and the defeat of the Axis forces of Germany, Italy and Japan, this momentous time saw the unrolling of the Cold War between Joseph Stalin's Soviet Russia and the Western powers under the untried leadership of Harry Truman as America came to play a global role for the first time.
The British Empire began its demise with the birth of the Indian and Pakistan republics with the flight of millions and wholesale slaughter as Vietnam, Indonesia and other colonies around the globe vied for freedom. 1948 also marked the creation of the state of Israel, the refugee flight of Palestinians and the first Arab-Israeli war as well as the victories of Communist armies that led to their final triumph in China, the coming of apartheid to South Africa, the division of Korea, major technological change and the rolling out of the welfare state against a backdrop of events that ensured the global order would never be the same again.
This dynamic narrative spans the planet with overlapping epic episodes featuring such historic figures as Truman and Marshall, Stalin and Molotov, Attlee and Bevin, De Gaulle and Adenauer, Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, Nehru and Jinnah, Ben Gurion and the Arab leaders. Between them, they forged the path to our modern world.

American Kingpin
From New York Times-bestselling author Nick Bilton comes a true-life thriller about the rise and fall of Ross Ulbricht, aka the Dread Pirate Roberts, the founder of the online black market Silk Road. In 2011, Ulbricht, a 26-year-old libertarian idealist and former Boy Scout, launched "a website where people could buy anything anonymously, with no trail whatsoever that could lead back to them." He called it Silk Road, opened for business on the Dark Web, and christened himself the Dread Pirate Roberts (after the Princess Bride character). The site grew at a tremendous pace, quickly becoming a $1.2 billion enterprise where you could buy or sell drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, guns, grenades, and poisons.
The Silk Road soon caught the attention of the Feds, who embarked on an epic two-year manhunt for the site's proprietor. Ulbricht, in the meantime, struggled to maintain control of his double life and his marketplace, which he originally started to prove that legalising drugs could make society safer. He gradually abandoned his libertarian ideals to rule Silk Road with increasingly authoritarian force.
At one point, he engaged the services of hired hit men to take out employees he felt had wronged him. Soon, some of the Federal agents who were supposed to be hunting for Ulbricht were lured into the dark world and switched sides to join him. This is a true-life thriller about ambition gone awry, spurred on by the defining clash of our time: the new world of libertarian-leaning, anonymous, decentralised web advocates and the old world of government control, order, and the rule of law.
Bilton's dazzling rendering and gift for narrative make for an endlessly fascinating drama.

Part Reptile
For fans of Ronda Rousey's My Fight Your Fight and John Kavanagh's Win or Learn comes the first book from UFC fighter and now analyst Dan Hardy, who will lift the lid on his own career, give his views on other MMA competitors such as Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, Georges St-Pierre, Nate Diaz and Amanda Nunes, and discuss just what it takes to compete in the most brutal and competitive sport in the world. Dan Hardy's first book is much more than a straightforward MMA autobiography. Taking the key fights from his career, Hardy explores the sport with the unparalleled insight which has made him the best analyst working today. From training in China with Shaolin monks, to how MMA helped him channel his rage, to psychedelic drugs and the ceremony in Peru that changed his life, to tapping into his 'reptilian brain' and the psychological warfare of UFC, to his epic title fight with Georges St-Pierre and the dark side of the sport, no stone is left unturned. Hardy also speaks eloquently of the heart condition that forced him to stop fighting, the road to recovery, and the evolution of a sport that flies in the face of mainstream disapproval to entertain and thrill millions of obsessives around the globe.
