The Great Poets – Percy Bysshe Shelley (EN)
Audiobook The Great Poets – Percy Bysshe Shelley. Idealist, atheist, outcast, political radical and, of course, poet – Percy Bysshe Shelley was, in many ways, the epitome of the Romantic artist. His poetry was an outlet for his passionately-held and highly unpopular beliefs; beliefs which resulted in social exclusion, exile, and possibly even his premature death at the age of twenty-nine.

Bad Gays
Too many popular histories seek to establish heroes, pioneers and martyrs but as Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller argue, the past is filled with queer people whose sexualities and/or dastardly deeds have been overlooked. We all remember Oscar Wilde, but who speaks for Bosie? What about those 'bad gays' whose un-exemplary lives reveals more than we might expect?
Part-revisionist history, part-historical biography and based on the hugely popular podcast series, Bad Gays subverts the notion of gay icons and queer heroes and asks what we can learn about LGBTQ history, sexuality and identity through its villains and baddies. From the Emperor Hadrian to notorious gangster Ronnie Kray, the authors excavate the buried history of queer lives. This includes fascist thugs, famous artists, austere puritans and debauched bon viveurs, Imperialists, G-men and architects. Together these amazing life stories expand and challenge the mainstream assumptions of sexual identity. They show that homosexuality itself was an idea that emerged in the nineteenth century and that its interpretation has been central to major historical moments of conflict from the ruptures of Weimar Republic to red-baiting in Cold War America.
Amusing, disturbing and fascinating, Bad Gays puts centre stage the queers villains and evil twinks in history.

Jamie at Home
This book is very close to my heart. It's about no-nonsense, simple cooking with great flavours all year round. When I began writing it, I didn't really know what recipes I would come up with, but something began to inspire me very quickly... my vege
table patch! I came to realise last year that it's not always about looking out at the wider world for inspiration. Being at home, feeling relaxed and open, can also offer this. I love to spend time at home in the village where I grew up, working wit
h the boss, Mother Nature, in my garden and seeing all my beautiful veggies coming out of the ground. Inside, you'll find over 100 new recipes, plus some basic planting information and tips if you fancy having a go at getting your hands dirty as well

The Sinister Booksellers of Bath
There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage.
The map takes the trio to a place separated from this world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an Ancient Sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Purbeck marble. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers.
If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal.
A wintry return to the somewhat alternate 1980s England of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London.

Tanuljon Olaszul - Gyorsan / Egyszerűen / Hatékonyan
Ez a könyv a 2000 leggyakrabban használt szó és kifejezés listáját tartalmazza, a napi beszélgetésekben előforduló gyakoriságuk szerint rendezve. A gyors haladás és a motiváltság fenntartása érdekében a szótár a 80/20-as szabályt követve először az alapvető szavak és mondatszerkezetek elsajátítását biztosítja.
Kinek érdemes megvenni a könyvet?Ez a könyv olyan motivált kezdő és középhaladó olasz nyelvtanulóknak szól, akik hajlandóak napi 15-20 percet szavak tanulására fordítani. A szótár egyszerű felépítése annak köszönhető, hogy minden szükségtelen dolgot kivettünk belőle, lehetővé téve, hogy a nyelvtanuló kizárólag azokra a részekre koncentrálhasson, amelyek a lehető legrövidebb idő alatt segítenek a legnagyobb mértékű haladást elérni. Egy olyan kezdő vagy középhaladó szinten lévő nyelvtanuló számára, aki hajlandó napi 20 percet a tanulásra szánni, ez a könyv valószínűleg a legjobb befektetés, amit el lehet képzelni. Le lesz nyűgözve, hogy a mindössze néhány hetes napi gyakorlással milyen gyors haladást fog elérni!
Kinek nem ajánljuk a könyvet?Ez a könyv nem haladó szintű olasz nyelvtanulóknak készült. Ebben az esetben látogasson el honlapunkra, vagy keressen rá a még nagyobb szókészletet tartalmazó olasz szótárunkra, amely azon haladó nyelvtanulók számára is hasznos témák szerint került felosztásra, akik bizonyos területeken javítani szeretnék nyelvi felkészültségüket.Továbbá, ha olyan teljes körű olasz tankönyvet keres, amely végigvezeti az olasz nyelvtanulás különböző lépésein, akkor ez a könyv valószínűleg nem önnek szól. Ez a könyv csak szavakat tartalmaz, ezért a vásárlónak más forrásokból vagy nyelvtanfolyamokon kell megtanulnia olyan dolgokat, mint a nyelvtan és a kiejtés. A könyv erőssége abban rejlik, hogy az alapvető szókészlet gyors elsajátítására összpontosít, nem pedig olyan információkra, amelyeket sokan elvárhatnak egy hagyományos nyelvkönyvtől. Kérjük, ezt vegye figyelembe a vásárlás során!
Hogyan használjuk a könyvet?Ez a könyv ideális esetben napi szinten használatos, és az egyes munkamenetekben meghatározott számú oldal áttekintése szükséges. A könyv 50 szóból álló részekre oszlik, ami lehetővé teszi a lépésről lépésre történő fejlődést. Tegyük fel például, hogy jelenleg a 101-től 200-ig tartó szólistát tekinti át. Amikor már elég jól ismeri a 101-től 150-ig terjedő lista szavait, elkezdheti tanulni a 201-250 pontok tartalmát, majd a következő nap elhagyhatja a 101-től 150-ig tartó lista tanulását és folytathatja a 151-250 közötti szavakkal. Így lépésről lépésre haladhat a könyvben, és nyelvi készségei minden egyes elsajátított oldallal fejlődni fognak.
