Lacná kniha Nem úszhatjuk meg (-70%)
Ritkán történik meg, hogy egy író töredékben maradt műveinek egyikét a szerző halála után 60 évvel kiadják, ráadásul úgy, hogy nem torzót, hanem egy - a szerző életművét, stílusát jól ismerő kortárs írók által - befejezett regényt vehetnek kézbe az olvasók. Nos, a mostani egy ilyen alkalom, mert a regényt, amelynek első fejezeteit Boris Vian 1950-ben vetette papírra, a Raymond Queneau alapította OuLiPo nevű művészcsoport néhány tagja továbbírta, mégpedig a hagyatékban megtalált eredeti szinopszis alapján.
A Nem úszhatjuk meg a híres-hírhedt Vian-alteregó, Vernon Sullivan újabb (ötödik) könyve lett volna, hiszen a helyszín megint Amerika, és a cselekmény ezúttal is gyilkosságról gyilkosságra halad előre, de Vian és a történetét folytató társszerzők számos olyan elemet is beleszőttek ebbe a krimiparódiába, amelyek oly jellegzetessé és egyedivé teszik Boris Vian saját néven kiadott írásait. Az alkotók nagy gondot fordítottak arra, hogy a könyv izgalmas és szórakoztató legyen, s ennek érdekében esetenként nem riadtak vissza bizonyos festői túlzásoktól és különféle nyelvi játékoktól sem. Mindezek eredményeként igazi irodalmi csemege született, melynek elolvasását nem úszhatjuk meg.

Final Girls
THE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS AWARD FOR BEST HARDCOVER NOVEL "The first great thriller of 2017 is here: Final Girls, by Riley Sager. If you liked Gone Girl, you'll like this."--Stephen King Ten years ago, college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie-scale massacre. In an instant, she became a member of a club no one wants to belong to--a group of similar survivors known in the press as the Final Girls: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who went up against the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape Pine Cottage and the man she refers to only as Him. The three girls are all attempting to put their nightmares behind them and, with that, one another. Despite the media's attempts, they never meet. Now, Quincy is doing well--maybe even great, thanks to her Xanax prescription. She has a caring almost-fiancé, Jeff; a popular baking blog; a beautiful apartment; and a therapeutic presence in Coop, the police officer who saved her life all those years ago. Her memory won't even allow her to recall the events of that night; the past is in the past. That is until Lisa, the first Final Girl, is found dead in her bathtub, wrists slit; and Sam, the second Final Girl, appears on Quincy's doorstep. Blowing through Quincy's life like a whirlwind, Sam seems intent on making Quincy relive the past, with increasingly dire consequences, all of which makes Quincy question why Sam is really seeking her out. And when new details about Lisa's death come to light, Quincy's life becomes a race against time as she tries to unravel Sam's truths from her lies, evade the police and hungry reporters, and, most crucially, remember what really happened at Pine Cottage, before what was started ten years ago is finished.

Kis piros székek
Magát hitgyógyítónak nevező balkáni idegen érkezik egy nyugat-írországi falucskába, és hamarosan bűvkörébe vonja az egész közösséget, különösen megigézve Fidelma McBride-ot. A nő végzetes vonzalma a karizmatikus férfi iránt megdöbbentő következményekkel jár.
Edna O'Brien sodró, feltartóztathatatlanul áradó története nemcsak a gonosz csáberejéről, a reményről, csalódásról és árulásról szól, a továbblépés lehetőségét is felvázolja.
A Kis piros székek az első oldaltól az utolsóig fogva tartja az olvasót, és miközben bátran szembenéz korunk számos aggasztó erkölcsi kérdésével, egy percre sem téveszti szem elől a sötétségben fel-felragyogó emberséget.
Edna O'Brien 1930-ban született Nyugat-Írországban. Első regénye, a Vidéki lányok megjelenése óta több mint húsz szépirodalmi művet írt. Munkásságát számos díjjal ismerték el, egyebek közt megkapta az Ír PEN Klub Életmű-díját, az Amerikai Művészeti Arany Emlékérmet és a Frank O'Connor-díjat. Évtizedek óta Londonban él.

Lengyel legendák és népmesék
Ennek a szép, varázsát a fordításban is megőrző könyvnek az olvasásához egy francia író, Charles Nodier szavaival szeretném ösztönözni az olvasókat: „Siessünk, hallgassuk a nép történeteit, mielőtt az elfeledi őket, mielőtt pirulni kezd majd miattuk, és mielőtt szűzies, tiszta költészete, szégyellve mezítelenségét, elfedi magát, mint a Paradicsomból kiűzött Éva.” Mickiewicz és Heine, Petőfi és Arany is odaírhatná nevét ez alá az idézet alá.
