Portugal: The Monocle Handbook
From the team at Monocle, the first in a new series of practical travel guides.
Following in the footsteps of the hugely successful Monocle Book of Italy and The Monocle Book of the Nordics, Monocle's latest title turns its focus to Portugal in an exciting new series of country-specific books.
A handbook in feel and tone, this practical guide will transport you to the sun-dappled hills of Lisbon and the winding streets of Porto as well as lesser-known locales from the Alentejo region, with its plentiful vineyards, to the dramatic landscapes of the Azores. Plus, discover Monocle's favourite places to stay, eat and shop - stop off at an elegant palacio, indulge in a family-run tasca and scour the streets for the creamiest pasteis de nata - and the cross-country trips we'd make (whether by car, boat or horse). You'll also be introduced to the country's rich culture, including the history of Portugal's vibrant visual identity and the folks at the heart of it all. So join in, hit the tiles and explore this fascinating country in Portugal: The Monocle Handbook.
Interslavic zonal constructed language: an Introduction for English-speakers
Interslavic zonal constructed language is an auxiliary language, which looks very similar to real spoken Slavic languages in Central and Eastern Europe and continues the tradition of the Old Church Slavonic language. Interslavic shares grammar and common vocabulary with modern spoken Slavic languages in order to build a universal language tool that Slavic people can understand without any or with very minimal prior learning. It is an easily-learned language for those who want to use this language actively. Interslavic enables passive (e.g. receptive) understanding of the real Slavic languages. Non-Slavic people can use Interslavic as the door to the big Slavic world.

Bliss
Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.
Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.
Katherine Mansfield's perceptive and resonant writing helped to define the modern short story, observing apparently trivial incidents to create quietly devastating revelations of inner lives. Graceful, delicate and burning with emotion, Mansfield's stories were integral in shaping the Modernist movement and redefined a genre. This collection contains some of Mansfield's most celebrated stories, including 'Bliss', 'The Garden Party' and 'The Daughters of the Late Colonel'.

Freckles
Allegra Bird's arms are scattered with freckles, a gift from her beloved father. But despite her nickname, Freckles has never been able to join all the dots. So when a stranger tells her that everyone is the average of the five people they spend the most time with, it opens up something deep inside.
The trouble is, Freckles doesn't know if she has five people. And if not, what does that say about her? She's left her unconventional father and her friends behind for a bold new life in Dublin, but she's still an outsider.
Now, in a quest to understand, she must find not one but five people who shape her - and who will determine her future.
Told in Allegra's vivid, original voice, moving from modern Dublin to the fierce Atlantic coast, this is an unforgettable story of human connection, of friendship, and of growing into your own skin.

Rembrandt
A classic monograph in the World of Art series, offering a a detailed insight into Rembrandt's life and work.
Rembrandt is among the few Old Master artists to retain universal appeal among art lovers today, his striking self-portraits lauded the world over - yet he remains an elusive, enigmatic figure.
Here, the distinguished art historian Christopher White carefully considers the known facts to build a sensitive and thorough account of the artist's life and work. He describes the radiant happiness of Rembrandt's marriage, tragically cut short by the death of his wife, and discusses the catastrophe of his bankruptcy. The psychological factors that may have awakened Rembrandt's sudden interest in landscape are also explored, as is the artist's final decade, when he retreated into the private world of his imagination.
This comprehensive introduction has now been revised and updated to reflect recent scholarship, and the bibliography has been expanded; Rembrandt's artworks are now faithfully reproduced in colour throughout.
A hétköznapi erényekről
"Bulgária közel ötvenezres zsidósága a második világháború alatt kétszer is elkerülte a deportálást. Megmentésében a legfontosabb szerepet a bolgár pravoszláv egyház játszotta.
A remélt revízió Bulgáriát is a hitleri Németország karjaiba taszította. A megvalósult területi gyarapodás kötelezvényeként a bolgár parlament 1940-ben a nürnbergi faji törvények mintájára súlyos jogfosztásokat és diszkriminációt vezetett be a zsidó lakossággal szemben. A bolgár pravoszláv egyház szinódusa ezt kezdettől fogva elítélte.
Március 10–11-i céldátummal 1943 elejére elkészült a deportálások titkos forgatókönyve, de már a macedóniai és trákiai zsidók koncentrációs táborokba történő hurcolása is felrázta a bolgár zsidó közösséget és a bolgár közvéleményt, és kormányzó párti képviselők tiltakozására III. Borisz cár március 9-én leállíttatta a szerelvényeket. Ennek ellenére Plovdivban március 10-én reggel összeszedtek néhány száz zsidót bevagonírozásra. Kiril plovdivi metropolita kinyilvánította, hogy velük tart. Tiltakoztak a pravoszláv egyház képviselői Szlivenben, Sumenben, Pazardzsikben, Haszkovóban és Szamokovban is. Végül délig mindenhova eljutott a halasztó parancs.
A bolgár társadalmat 500 évnyi török uralom után nem jellemezték polgári tradíciók és szilárd demokratikus értékrendszer, a holokauszt idején mégis képes volt a nagy cselekedetre. Doncsev Toso, akinek Magyarországi bolgárként egyformán van rálátása mindkét ország, mindkét nép történetére, ennek a páratlan történetnek a nyitját keresi hiánypótló tanulmányában, hitelesen." – Klein András

Az éjszaka gyümölcse
"Egész egyszerűen TÖKÉLETES alkotás." - Wrapped Up in Reading Book BlogAz életem a kezedben van - Minden kislány szeretne egy tündérmese főszereplője lenni. Egy romantikus történeté, melyben a herceg megmenti őt a gonosz fogságából. Végül egymásba szeretnek, gyerekeik születnek, és boldognak élnek, amíg meg nem halnak. Elméletileg az én életem is lehetett volna ilyen tündérmese. Nyolcéves koromban Caven Hunt megmentett egy szörnyetegtől. Nem számított, hogy csak egy kölyök voltam, azonnal beleszerettem. Sajnos a tündérmesém ezen a ponton véget is ér. Évekkel később életem legsötétebb időszakában egy egyéjszakás kaland egy kislánnyal ajándékozott meg minket. A könyörtelen sötétség rabjaként azonban nem maradt számomra más kiút, mint hogy az újszülöttet Caven gondjaira bízzam. Ennek a tündérmesének a végén nagy boldogság vár valakire. Valakire, aki nem én vagyok. A lányom születése óta egyetlen éjszaka sem telt el anélkül, hogy ne imádkoztam volna az ő boldogságáért. Az életemmel tartozom Cavennek. Csakhogy annak az ártatlan gyereknek még többel tartozom. Ezt pedig csak úgy adhatom meg neki, ha a szívemet kitépve, ismét találkozom az apjával.Aly Martinez USA Today bestsellerszerző.

Václav Havel: Le pouvoir d’un sans-pouvoir au XXe siecle
Ce livre n’est pas une simple biographie de Václav Havel, le récit de son parcours et de son héritage intellectuel. C’est aussi une fresque de toute l’Europe centrale au cours du XXe siecle, une synthese que tous les curieux et passionnés devraient connaître.
La vie de Havel commence avec en toile de fond de grands événements tels que la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l’apparition du Rideau de fer. Plus tard, Havel sera appelé a devenir lui meme un moteur de l’Histoire européenne. Au bout du compte, avait-il plus de pouvoir lorsqu’il s’efforçait, en tant que président, de donner une dimension plus humaine a la politique, ou lorsque le régime communiste le forçait a purger des peines de prison pour avoir agi selon sa conscience?
Malgré les menaces constantes qui nous entourent actuellement, il est de plus en plus clair qu’au niveau européen, aucune personnalité d’envergure équivalente n’est apparue dans les dernieres décennies.
Martin Vopěnka est un auteur renommé de romans et de livres pour enfants. Il démontre ici une fois de plus son art de synthétiser les informations et de les inscrire dans un contexte plus large. Par ailleurs, il ne cache pas que son sujet, Václav Havel, lui tient particulierement a coeur. Ce chemin vers la compréhension de toute une époque, d’un personnage hors du commun et d’un fragment d’Histoire est remarquablement illustré par Eva Bartošová.

Lacná kniha True Tale of the Monster Billy (-90%)
For fans of Room by Emma Donoghue, an extraordinary novel about a child who is kept incarcerated - from the bestselling, prizewinning author of Skellig Billy Deane is the child of an illicit relationship between a priest and a young hairdresser. He is born on the very day that terrorists attack his town, and the fact that he survives and flourishes persuades his father that he is a special child with special gifts. Even so, Billy's birth can't be made public, and he spends his chidhood in a single room, dreaming of other worlds, occasionally visited at night by his father. When the visits come to a sudden end, his mother decides it's time for Billy to come out into the world, helped by a couple of friendly townspeople, and soon he finds that his supposed gifts bring him a certain celebrity. But his father hasn't gone for good, and there's a terrible reckoning still to be made. David Almond's first adult novel is a brilliant account of a child long kept hidden from the world who finally finds that he can establish his place in it - only to be confronted with a past that won't go away. 'A lovely book, full of wonderments. Billy's memories have real lyricism and a beguiling narrative voice' Sunday Times 'Not only dramatically and emotionally suspenseful, it is also vividly drawn and wonderfully well-paced, as we might expect from a master storyteller' John Burnside, Guardian David Almond is the author of Skellig and other novels and plays for children. He has won many distuinguished awards including the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 2010, the Carnegie Medal and two Whitbreads.
