The Winters Tale (Collins Classics)
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Considered one of Shakespeare's most haunting tragic-comedies, The Winter's Tale is an in-depth analysis of the psychology of family and friendship, jealousy and love, art and nature, all illustrated in rich poetry. Based on Robert Greene's story Pandosto, the play tells the story of Leontes, king of Sicilia, and his childhood friend, Polixenes, king of Bohemia. In a jealous rage, Leontes mistakenly accuses Polixenes and his own his wife, Hermione, of adultery and her newborn daughter as illegitimate, casting her into the wilderness, causing their son to die of grief and Hermione to seemingly follow suit. With his family dead or believed dead, Leontes must face the tragic consequences of his actions. With unbridled honesty and the pain of love, the final act is one of Shakespeare's most moving reconciliation scenes

With her proclivity for green satin underwear and boil-in-the-bag cuisine, she will stop at nothing in her pursuit of Western wealth. But the sisters' campaign to oust Valentina unearths family secrets, uncovers fifty years of Europe's darkest history and sends them back to roots they'd much rather forget ...'It's rare to find a first novel that gets so much right ...Lewycka is a seriously talented comic writer' Time Out 'Hugely enjoyable ...yields a golden harvest of family truths' Daily Telegraph 'Delightful, funny, touching' Spectator

Persuasion
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

Egy igaz férfi - Clifton-krónika 7.
A bristoli születésű Harry Clifton sorsa nem is alakulhatott volna fordulatosabban. A kikötői dokkmunkás fiából az évtizedek során híres író és a királynő lovagja lett. Időskorára csak egyetlen célja maradt: megírni élete fő művét, amely halhatatlanná teszi a nevét. Miközben beletemetkezik a munkájába, a családja mindennapjai is tovább bonyolódnak.
Emma épp leköszön a Bristoli Királyi Kórház elnöki posztjáról, amikor meglepő telefonhívást kap Margaret Thatchertől. Mindeközben Giles sokkoló információ birtokába jut a feleségével, Karinnal kapcsolatban; Sebastiant váratlanul kinevezik a Farthings Kaufman Bank elnökének; Jessica pedig komoly bajba kerül, és csak Grace nénje közbenjárása menti meg. Eközben Lady Virginia készen áll arra, hogy a hitelezői elől külföldre meneküljön, amikor egy nem várt haláleset következtében törleszteni tudja az adósságait, sőt akár a Clifton és a Barrington családon is bosszút állhat - egyszer s mindenkorra.
A Clifton család generációkon és kontinenseken átívelő, sikerekkel és kudarcokkal, intrikákkal és bosszúval, szerelmekkel és barátságokkal teli története lezárul a családregény hetedik kötetében.

Platanová alej
„John Grisham je patrně nejlepším vypravěčem v současných Spojených státech.“
The New York Times
Román … a je čas zabíjet (1989) stál na počátku spisovatelské dráhy celosvětové legendy právnických thrillerů. Po čtvrt století nás John Grisham znovu zavádí do proslulé budovy soudu v Clantonu, kde advokát Jake Brigance čelí dalšímu velmi kontroverznímu sporu, který odhalí skoro zapomenuté rasové pnutí a přiměje místní obyvatele utkat se se svou minulostí.
Seth Hubbard, zámožný muž, umírá na rakovinu plic. Nikomu nedůvěřuje. Než se oběsí na starém platanu, zanechá novou, vlastnoručně psanou závěť. Jeho již dospělé děti, černošská hospodyně a Jake jsou tak zataženi do konfliktu stejně dramatického a plného zvratů, jako byl proces, který Jakea v okresu Ford proslavil, když obhajoval muže, jenž pomstil znásilnění své desetileté dcery.

Prototyping for Architects
Prototyping is an essential part of the designer's repertoire. Designers prototype their projects to test them, structurally, aesthetically, technically. Whether the prototype works or not is not the point: prototyping is the revelatory process through which the designer gains insight. There are three reasons why contemporary prototyping techniques are transforming the way architects design and build: at a miniature scale, prototyping aids the architect in the presentation to clients of complex spatial ideas; prototyping empowers the architect-designer to test and prove a building's feasibility, leading to more open-minded construction solutions; and whether additive (3D printing) or subtractive (robotic milling), prototyping can lead to unexpected and exciting new possibilities within design as a whole, across design disciplines, thus blurring the boundaries between them in highly creative ways. The book has four sections: an introduction that charts the rise of prototyping in design history, more specifically in architecture; an overview of techniques; a survey section featuring 30 projects, each presented through texts drawn from first-hand interviews, on-site photographs and drawings; and a reference section, which includes a glossary of technical terms.

Sea of Rust
*One of Financial Times' Best Books of 2017*
"SEA OF RUST is a 40-megaton cruise missile of a novel - it'll blow you away and lay waste to your heart . . . visceral, relentless, breathtaking" Joe Hill, Sunday Times bestselling author
An action-packed post-apocalyptic thriller from the critically acclaimed author, screenwriter, and noted film critic.
Humankind is extinct. Wiped out in a global uprising by the very machines made to serve them. Now the world is controlled by One World Intelligences - vast mainframes that have assimilated the minds of millions of robots.
But not all robots are willing to cede their individuality, and Brittle - a loner and scavenger, focused solely on survival - is one of the holdouts.
Only, individuality comes at a price, and after a near-deadly encounter with another AI, Brittle is forced to seek sanctuary. Not easy when an OWI has decided to lay siege to the nearest safe city.
Critically damaged, Brittle has to hold it together long enough to find the essential rare parts to make repairs - but as a robot's CPU gradually deteriorates, all their old memories resurface. For Brittle, that means one haunting memory in particular . . .
Sea of Rust boldly imagines a future in which no hope should remain, and yet a humanlike AI strives to find purpose among the ruins.

Prototyping&Modelmaking
Building prototypes and models is an essential component of any design activity. Modern product development is a multi-disciplinary effort that relies on prototyping in order to explore new ideas and test them sufficiently before they become actual products. "Prototyping and Modelmaking for Product Designers" illustrates how prototypes are used to help designers understand problems better, explore more imaginative solutions, investigate human interaction more fully and test functionality so as to de-risk the design process. Following an introduction on the purpose of prototyping, specific materials, tools and techniques are examined in detail, with step-by-step tutorials and industry examples of real and successful products illustrating how prototypes are used to help solve design problems. Workflow is also discussed, using a mixture of hands on and digital tools. A comprehensive modern prototyping approach is crucial to making informed design decisions, and forms a strategic part of a successful designer's toolkit.
