The Holy Knight's Dark Road: Volume 1
Young Sain Forth has it made; as the famed Holy Knight, he has the people’s love, the respect of kings, and the blessings of a literal goddess. His aspirations lie elsewhere, though. With his assistant Melia at his side, he leaves for an academy in a foreign kingdom, where he is treated as a deviant by his peers.It’s his own fault, mind you—his stubborn insistance on wearing a custom, all-black uniform makes him stick out. He isn’t the only outcast in his class: Alicia, born into the Clan of Light but unable to use anything but fire magic, faces similar struggles, and the two quickly become allies.Alicia proposes that they enter the labyrinth below the school in search of a holy sword, but Sain has other plans in mind: a doom sword. And so, with his friends in tow, Sain ventures into the perilous unknown, driven by a wish to become the coolest, edgiest, most awesome thing in existence: a Dark Knight.There’s just one problem. He can’t use dark magic. Like, at all.

Aki kapja, marja
A Mr. Mercedes-ben bemutatkozó hősök eklektikus hármasának főszereplésével itt a mesteri, lélegzetelállító folytatás egy olvasóról, aki túlzásba viszi a rögeszmés rajongást egy emberkerülő íróért. "Ébresztő, géniusz!" - így kezdődik Stephen King letehetetlen új regénye egy bosszúvágyó olvasóról. Az ébresztő John Rothsteinnek, az ikonikus írózseninek szól, aki megteremtette az imádott és világhírű Jimmy Goldot, de többé már nem publikál. Morris Bellamy pedig őrjöng, nemcsak Rothstein hallgatása miatt, hanem azért is, mert a nonkonformista Jimmy Gold eladta magát a karrierért a reklámszakmában. Morris megöli Rothsteint, és igen, a pénzt is kipakolja a széfjéből, de az igazi kincset azok a noteszok jelentik, amelyekben lehet még legalább egy Gold-regény.Alighogy elrejti a pénzt és a noteszokat, Morrist nemi erőszakért bevágják egy szigorított fegyházba. Évtizedekkel később egy Peter Saubers nevű kamasz, akinek az apja súlyosan megsérült a Mr. Mercedes-merényletben, megtalálja a kincset, úgyhogy a Bill Hodges-féle csapatnak most Pete-et és családját kell megvédenie az egyre eszelősebb és vérszomjasabb Morristól, aki harmincöt év után kiszabadult, és követeli vissza a noteszait meg a pénzét.King a Tortúra óta nem foglalkozott az olvasóval, aki addig bálványozza az írót, amíg baj nem lesz belőle. Az Aki kapja, marja nemcsak vérfagyasztó, bravúros krimi, de azt is bemutatja, hogyan formálja az irodalom az életet - jól vagy rosszul, most és mindörökké. Fordította: Bihari György

L'estructura argumental dels noms en catala
Monografie se věnuje analýze argumentové struktury podstatných jmen v katalánštině, a to jak z pohledu teoretického, tak i deskriptivního. Jejím účelem je určit a systematicky klasifikovat vlastnosti argumentové struktury podstatných jmen v katalánštině, nabídnout přehled jejich syntaktických vlastností a vysvětlit modely pravidelností vyvozených ze studovaného materiálu. S položením primární otázky „Jak se syntakticky projevují argumenty podstatných jmen v katalánštině?“ jsou spojeny také tři sekundární otázky, a to „Která podstatná jména v katalánštině přijímají argumenty?“, dále „Jakou podobu mají nominální argumenty v katalánštině? Na čem závisí?“, a konečně „Jaké je řazení argumentových komplementů podstatných jmen v případech, kdy jich najdeme více v rámci jednoho syntagmatu?“. Autorka využívá data o více než 200 podstatných jménech z Informatizovaného textového korpusu katalánského jazyka (CTILC).

The Uphill Climb
Ford lifted his arms above his head to yawn as does a man who has slept too heavily, found his biceps stiffened and sore, and massaged them gingerly with his finger-tips. His eyes took on the vacancy of memory straining at the leash of forgetfulness. He sighed largely, swung his head slowly from left to right in mute admission of failure to grasp what lay just behind his slumber, and thereby discovered other muscles that protested against sudden movement. He felt his neck with a careful, rubbing gesture. One hand strayed to his left cheekbone, hovered there tentatively, wandered to the bridge of his nose, and from there dropped inertly to the bed. "Lordy me! I must have been drunk last night," he said aloud, mechanically taking he straight line of logic from effect to cause, as much experience had taught him to do.

The White Company
A historical adventure set during the Hundred Years' War. The story follows a young man as he leaves the shelter of an abbey in England and becomes involved with Edward, the Black Prince's campaign in Spain. Doyle later wrote a prequel, titled "Sir Nigel", concerning the early life of one of the heroes in this novel. “We go to France, and from thence I trust to Spain, in humble search of a field in which we may win advancement and perchance some small share of glory. For this purpose I would have you know that it is not my wont to let any occasion pass where it is in any way possible that honor may be gained. I would have you bear this in mind, and give great heed to it that you may bring me word of all cartels, challenges, wrongs, tyrannies, infamies, and wronging of damsels. Nor is any occasion too small to take note of, for I have known such trifles as the dropping of a gauntlet, or the flicking of a breadcrumb, when well and properly followed up, lead to a most noble spear-running.” - Sir Nigel, “The White Company”
