House of Spies
From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Black Widow comes the thrilling new summer blockbuster featuring legendary spy, assassin and art restorer Gabriel Allon. Legendary spy, assassin, and art restorer Gabriel Allon is back and out for revenge - determined to hunt down the world's most dangerous terrorist, a shadowy ISIS mastermind known only as Saladin. Four months after the deadliest attack on the American homeland since 9/11, terrorists leave a trail of carnage through London's West End. The attack is a brilliant feat of planning and secrecy, but with one loose thread: the French-Moroccan street criminal and ISIS operative who supplied the combat assault rifles. The thread leads Gabriel Allon and his team to the south of France and to the doorstep of Jean-Luc Martel and Olivia Watson. A beautiful former fashion model, Olivia pretends not to know that the true source of Martel's enormous wealth is drugs. And Martel, likewise, turns a blind eye to the fact he is doing business with a man whose objective is the very destruction of the West. Together, under Gabriel's skilled hand, they will become an unlikely pair of heroes in theglobal war on terror.

House of Trump, House of Putin
House of Trump, House of Putin offers the first comprehensive investigation into the decades-long relationship among Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and the Russian Mafia that ultimately helped win Trump the White House.
It is a chilling story that begins in the 1970s, when Trump made his first splash in the booming, money-drenched world of New York real estate, and ends with Trump's inauguration as president of the United States. That moment was the culmination of Vladimir Putin's long mission to undermine Western democracy, a mission that he and his hand-selected group of oligarchs and assosciates had ensnared Trump in, starting more than twenty years ago with the massive bailout of a string of sensational Trump hotel and casino failures in Atlantic City. This book confirms the most incredible American paranoias about Russian malevolence.
To most, it will be a hair-raising revelation that the Cold War did not end in 1991-that it merely evolved, with Trump's apartments offering the perfect vehicle for billions of dollars to leave the collapsing Soviet Union. In House of Trump, House of Putin, Craig Unger methodically traces the deep-rooted alliance between the highest echelons of American political operatives and the biggest players in the frightening underworld of the Russian Mafia. He traces Donald Trump's sordid ascent from foundering real estate tycoon to leader of the free world. He traces Russia's phoenixlike rise from the ashes of the post-Cold War Soviet Union as well as its ceaseless covert efforts to retaliate against the West and reclaim its status as a global superpower.
Without Trump, Russia would have lacked a key component in its attempts to return to imperial greatness. Without Russia, Trump would not be president. This essential book is crucial to understanding the real powers at play in the shadows of today's world.

Büfik és bukások
Megkérdeztem a kisfiamtól, hogy boldog gyerek-e, mire önérzetesen közölte, hogy nem, mert ő egy tigris. Nem hazudott… És én sem fogok nektek ebben a könyvben. Hiszen nem tettem a WMN.hu-n sem, ahol két éve brutális nyíltsággal, töretlen derűvel és ijesztő népszerűséggel írtam arról, hogyan éltem és élem meg az apaságot: hol tragikomikusan, hol tanulságosan. Nevettetni és elgondolkodtatni akarok. Már több tízezer nő üzente, hogy sikerült. Illetve, hogy gebedjek meg, mert nem tudnak szoptatni a röhögéstől vagy a meghatottságtól. Az én apanaplóm nem okoskodó és kioktató. Nincsenek benne frusztráló tanácsok, amitől csak még rosszabb szülőnek érzed magad. Az én szövegeim olyanok, mint a boldog gyerekek: mosdatlanok, fésületlenek, kirobbanóan vidámak, néha talán fárasztóak, de az első betűtől az utolsóig felszabadítóan őszinték. Azt üzenik: nem vagytok tökéletesek, de elég jók vagytok. És nem vagytok egyedül. Lépjetek be velem a tigris ketrecébe!

Utopia for Realists
The Sunday Times Bestseller We live in a time of unprecedented upheaval, with questions about the future, society, work, happiness, family and money, and yet no political party of the right or left is providing us with answers. Rutger Bregman, a bestselling Dutch historian, explains that it needn't be this way. Bregman shows that we can construct a society with visionary ideas that are, in fact, wholly implementable. Every milestone of civilization - from the end of slavery to the beginning of democracy - was once considered a utopian fantasy. New utopian ideas such as universal basic income and a 15-hour work week can become reality in our lifetime. This guide to a revolutionary yet achievable utopia is supported by multiple studies, lively anecdotes and numerous success stories. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty, to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history, beyond the traditional left-right divides, as he introduces ideas whose time has come

American Prison
New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2018 One of President Barack Obama's favorite books of 2018
A New York Times Notable Book
A ground-breaking and brave inside reckoning with the nexus of prison and profit in America: in one Louisiana prison and over the course of our country's history.
In 2014, Shane Bauer was hired for $9 an hour to work as an entry-level prison guard at a private prison in Winnfield, Louisiana. An award-winning investigative journalist, he used his real name; there was no meaningful background check. Four months later, his employment came to an abrupt end. But he had seen enough, and in short order he wrote an expos about his experiences that won a National Magazine Award and became the most-read feature in the history of the magazine Mother Jones. Still, there was much more that he needed to say. In American Prison, Bauer weaves a much deeper reckoning with his experiences together with a thoroughly researched history of for-profit prisons in America from their origins in the decades before the Civil War. For, as he soon realized, we can't understand the cruelty of our current system and its place in the larger story of mass incarceration without understanding where it came from. Private prisons became entrenched in the South as part of a systemic effort to keep the African-American labor force in place in the aftermath of slavery, and the echoes of these shameful origins are with us still.
The private prison system is deliberately unaccountable to public scrutiny. Private prisons are not incentivized to tend to the health of their inmates, or to feed them well, or to attract and retain a highly-trained prison staff. Though Bauer befriends some of his colleagues and sympathizes with their plight, the chronic dysfunction of their lives only adds to the prison's sense of chaos. To his horror, Bauer finds himself becoming crueler and more aggressive the longer he works in the prison, and he is far from alone.
A blistering indictment of the private prison system, and the powerful forces that drive it, American Prison is a necessary human document about the true face of justice in America.

Lacná kniha La Bible /fran.TOB/ ekun+deut (-90%)
Rigueur scientifique et ouverture d'esprit furent les mots d'ordre de cette traduction (dite "TOB"), coordonnée par des catholiques, des orthodoxes et des protestants, sortie en 1988. L'équipe a manifesté les mêmes qualités en révisant le texte pour tenir compte de remarques faites au fil des années par de nombreux lecteurs. Oeuvre collective, ce travail ne prétend pas à l'originalité d'une traduction personnelle, mais les vérifications impitoyables auxquelles il a été soumis en font la nouveauté. Outre le texte et les notes, le volume comporte une introduction générale de la Bible et de chaque livre séparément, huit pages de cartes en couleurs, deux plans de Jérusalem aux temps bibliques, un tableau chronologique (12 pages) et un glossaire (20 pages). De l'esprit oecuménique témoignent, outre la traduction, l'ordre des livres et la présence des textes dits "apocryphes" ou "deutérocanoniques". L'Ancien Testament est traduit selon le texte hébreu fixé ne varietur par la tradition juive (les variantes importantes étant mises en notes), "comme une pierre d'attente" d'une future coopération judéo-chrétienne. --Colette-Rebecca Estin
