The Art of War
A new illustrated edition of Sun Tzu's classic ancient Chinese meditation on military strategy and human psychology, with a new commentary that highlight its continued relevance for modern readers. Poetic and immensely readable, The Art of War was written 2,500 years ago and the military manual is still relevant today. A fascinating historical document that sheds light on ancient warfare, it is also a profound meditation on human psychology, interrogating the subjects of leadership, self-discipline and self-awareness.
This new edition of the classic work is specially designed for modern readers. It includes an insightful introduction to the historical and philosophical context, and is accompanied by explanation and analysis of how Sun Tzu's lessons have been applied in some of the world's most famous battles. Renowned strategists from Field Marshal Montgomery to General Schwarzkopf have cited the book as an inspiration.
The ancient text, attributed to Sun Tzu, is divided into 13 chapters that provide a logical and strategic approach to conflict and competition. Each focuses on a different aspect of warfare, including the importance of planning, managing your forces, decision-making, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, the art of deception and understanding the power of information. This edition, featuring more than 28 evocative photographs, offers a new perspective on a classic work and enables new generations to discover The Art of War and find new applications for the wisdom of Sun Tzu.

Death Comes as the End
A novel of anger, jealousy, betrayal and murder in 2000 BC It is Egypt, 2000 BC, where death gives meaning to life. At the foot of a cliff lies the broken, twisted body of Nofret, concubine to a Ka-priest. Young, beautiful and venomous, most agree that she deserved to die like a snake. Yet Renisenb, the priest's daughter, believes that the woman's death was not fate, but murder. Increasingly, she becomes convinced that the source of evil lurks within her own father's household. As the wife of an eminent archaeologist, Agatha Christie took part in several expeditions to the Middle East. Drawing upon this experience and exhaustive research, she wrote this serial killer mystery laid in Egypt 4000 years ago.

Elveszett lelkek otthona
Jóváteheti-e a szeretet a jóvátehetetlent?
Az 1950-es években járunk a kanadai Québecben, ahol az angol és francia közösségek együttélése csak látszólag harmonikus, a mélyben súlyos feszültségek húzódnak.
A tizenöt éves Maggie Hughes angol apja sem szíveli a franciákat, s mindenáron meg akarja akadályozni, hogy Maggie a szomszédos farmon élő francia fiúhoz menjen feleségül. Így amikor Maggie teherbe esik, a szülei ráveszik, hogy mondjon le a kislányról, s az újszülött Elodie árvaházba kerül.
A kislány amúgy sem könnyű sorsa újabb tragikus fordulatot vesz, amikor a nagyobb állami támogatás miatt a gyermekotthont, ahol él, elmegyógyintézetté, a több ezer állami gondozott gyermeket pedig értelmi fogyatékossá nyilvánítják.
Van-e szabadulás ebből a kilátástalan helyzetből? Túl lehet-e élni egy léleknyomorító intézmény megaláztatásait, és létezhet-e feloldozás és megnyugvás egy anya számára, aki ilyen helyzetbe taszította gyermekét?
Joanna Goodman valós eseményeken alapuló regénye szívbe markoló és felemelő történet az anya-lánya kötelék megbonthatatlanságáról, s megrázó pillanatfelvétel Kanada történelmének egyik sötét időszakáról.
Joanna Goodman kanadai írónő ötödik regénye, az Elveszett lelkek otthona 2018-ban jelent meg, és óriási kritikai visszhangot váltott ki. A 20. század közepén a québéci hatóságok a katolikus egyház közreműködésével körülbelül húszezer árva gyereket nyilvánítottak értelmi fogyatékossá a nagyobb állami támogatás reményében. A tartomány akkori vezetője után magukat Duplessis-árváknak nevező károsultaknak az ügy kirobbanását követően a kanadai kormány jóvátételt fizetett.

To Fight Against This Age
A poignant meditation on our modern predicament: the rise, once again, of barbarism in the midst of mass democracy.
Thomas Mann and Albert Camus understood something many political scientists still find difficult to fathom. Deprived of any coherent theory, fascism is characterised by its politics of resentment, stirring up of anger and fear, xenophobia, need for scapegoats, and by its hatred of the life of the mind. Combining history and philosophy, Rob Riemen eloquently explores the global return of fascism, disguised in the false promises of freedom and greatness.
Riemen's response to the spiritual crisis of our age is a moving story about the universal meaning of European humanism, with its values of truth, justice, beauty and love for life as the origin of a democratic civilisation. To Fight Against This Age is for those who want to understand and change the world in which they live.

Emil és a detektívek
Közel hetven éve már, hogy először (1928-ban) vehették kézbe a német olvasók az Emil és a detektívek című regényt. Azóta sok-sok kiadásban és tucatnyi nyelven forgathatták gyermekek és felnőttek milliói. Talán nem véletlen, hogy a gyermek Kästner vonzódott a detektívesdihez, de az sem, hogy író lett belőle. A két mesterség ugyanis furcsamód sok rokon vonást mutat. Mert mit is jelent a mostanság ritkábban használt idegen szó? Annyit tesz, mint nyomozó, titkosrendőr. Ám ha az angol, detect ige magyar jelentését vesszük, akkor ezt olvashatjuk: "felfed(ez), kiderít, kinyomoz, kipuhatol, leleplez". Az igealak jóval többet mond. Ám aki detektívregényeket olvas, nyilván tudja, hogy a detektív mást is tesz: válogat a feltárt tények között, s csak a fontos, az összefüggésekre utaló, azokat feltáró ismereteket őrzi meg, majd illeszti össze őket a tények s gyakran képzelete segítségével, hogy kerek, kikezdhetetlen történet kerekedjen belőle. És mit tesz az író? Erich Kästner ezt is elárulja: "Bizonyára veletek is megesett már az ilyesmi. Feküdtem a padlón, gyűjtögettem az emlékeket, amelyek jobbról-balról, minden oldalról a fejembe gyűltek, ahogy az jóravaló emlékekhez illik. Végül is minden együtt volt, a Mese összeállt. Most már semmi egyéb dolgom nem volt, mint hogy leüljek és sorjában mindent leírjak. Ezt tettem. Ha nem tettem volna, most nem tartanátok a kezetekben ezt az Emilről szóló könyvet." Simon László

Fashionopolis
A gripping blockbuster ... Thomas researches meticulously and writes with simmering even-handed anger' TELEGRAPH. Fashionopolis is the definitive book on the cost of fast fashion, and a blueprint for how we get to a more sustainable future.
*****************
Fashion has blighted our planet.
Today, one out of six people on earth work in fashion, churning out 100 billion garments a year. Yet 98 percent of them do not earn a living wage, and 2.1 billion tonnes of clothing is thrown away annually. The clothing industry's exploitation of fellow humans and the environment has reached epic levels. What should we do?
Bestselling author and veteran journalist Dana Thomas has travelled the globe to find the answers. In Fashionopolis, she details the damage wrought by fashion's behemoths, and celebrates the visionaries - including activists, artisans, designers, and tech entrepreneurs - fighting for change.
We all have been casual about our clothes. It's time to get dressed with intention. Fashionopolis is the first comprehensive look at how to start.
*****************
Reviews:
'Fascinating ... Powerful ... Thomas has succeeded in calling attention to the major problems of the fashion industry' New York Times.
'Thomas takes a story most of us think we know, but tells it better and in compelling, readable detail' The Times.
'Engaging and thorough ... Fashionopolis has implications beyond cloth and thread' Financial Times.
'Thomas is a conscientious reporter - as evidenced in her research, which is studded with statistics' Times Literary Supplement.
'Dana Thomas' Fashionopolis exposes fashion's toxic relationship with the environment in its pursuit of "unbridled capitalism." If anything can persuade you to change your habits, this will' Country & Town House.

Praise for The Champagne Guide 2020-2021: When I first reviewed Tyson Stelzer's The Champagne Guide, I marvelled at the quality of the overall package and the wealth of information it contained. Then and now it was entirely his personal knowledge, with fearlessly objective ratings. Now he has achieved the impossible, almost doubling the size of the 2018-2019 edition, with 582 gilt-edged pages. The 300,000 words within expand the scope of the information at every turn, and the amount of beautiful photography is likely to make it the only coffee-table book to show the eyeball and thumbprint traffic it will engender. It goes without saying that anyone with an interest in Champagne must have this book. - James Halliday
This is the most comprehensive and finely wrought and written book on Champagne I have ever seen. Truly epic work. - Matthew Jukes
THE definitive guide and authority on everything champagne. This 'bible' is beautifully presented and the immersive research invested and passion is on full show. A stunning achievement. - Luxury Wine Trails
An extraordinary achievement - the depth of understanding and notes about each house and their wines is exceptional. - Mark Smith

Alice csodaországban
E furcsa ötletekkel teli, kalandos, vidám mesekönyv szerzője, Lewis Carroll, a múlt században élt matematikaprofesszor. Világhírűvé vált könyve immár a világ gyermekirodalmának klasszikusává vált, és szinte valamennyi nemzet nyelvén napvilágot látott. Az angolszász humor sajátos alkotása elvezeti az olvasót Csodaországba - amely valójában egy álomvilág, a Viktória királynő korabeli Anglia torzképe. Aki ismeri az angol történelmet, az a Szív Királynőben könnyen felismerheti a hirtelen haragú Viktóriát, s férjében, a pipogya Szív Királyban a jelentéktelen Albert herceget. De megtalálhatjuk e könyvben az angol igazságszolgáltatás, iskolarendszer vagy éppen sportszenvedély végletekig vitt, humoros torzképét is.
