The Flames
Vienna, 1912. Behind every painting, there is a story...
A new century is dawning. Vienna is at its zenith, an opulent, extravagant city teeming with art, music and radical ideas. It is a place where anything seems possible...
Edith and Adele are sisters, the daughters of a wealthy bourgeois family. They are expected to follow the rules, to marry well, and produce children. Gertrude is in thrall to her flamboyant older brother. Marked by a traumatic childhood, she envies the freedom he so readily commands. Vally was born into poverty but is making her way in the world as a model for the eminent artist Gustav Klimt.
Fierce, passionate and determined, none of these women is quite what they seem. But their lives are set on a collision course when they become entangled with the controversial young artist Egon Schiele whose work - and private life - are sending shockwaves through Viennese society. All it will take is a single act of betrayal to set their world on fire...
Joy of x, The
Many people take math in high school and promptly forget much of it. But math plays a part in all of our lives all of the time, whether we know it or not. In "The Joy of" x, Steven Strogatz expands on his hit "New York Times "series to explain the big ideas of math gently and clearly, with wit, insight, and brilliant illustrations.""Whether he is illuminating how often you should flip your mattress to get the maximum lifespan from it or determining how many people you should date before settling down, Strogatz shows how math connects to every aspect of life. Discussing pop culture, medicine, law, philosophy, art, and business, Strogatz is the math teacher you wish you'd had, and "The Joy of "x""is the book you'll want to give to all your smart and curious friends.

Kindergarten Architecture
Numerous studies explore the effects of architecture on children's behaviour and have their effect on the design of educational establishments. This book gathers a selection of schools and nurseries by 30 of the most relevant architects of the world. These projects aim to create imaginative and evocative atmospheres. Many of these spaces also serve as meeting places for the local community.
Another important aspect is environmental 'intelligence', with energy saving systems, passive house standards and light optimization all factors that come into play. From the astronomy 'classroom of the future' in west London to a bubble-structured nursery in Japan, the forward-thinking projects in this book are well presented with clear text, plans and photographs. The book takes a close look at technological and ecological installations such as solar panels, tanks for rainwater collection and the recycling of materials.
In the Wild Light
I've always loved when the light finds the broken spots in the world and makes them beautiful . . .
Cash's life in his small Tennessee town is hard. He lost his mom to an opioid addiction and his grandfather's illness is getting worse. His smart but troubled best friend, Delaney, is his only salvation. But Delaney is meant for greater things, and she finds a way for Cash to leave with her. Will abandoning his old life be the thing that finally breaks Cash, or will it be the making of him?
From the award-winning author of The Serpent King comes a beautiful story of grief, found family, and young love.
Aki betölti a hiányt
Vajon elég a nőnek a férfi és a férfinek a nő, hogy csillapítsák egymás lelkének sóvárgó éhségét? Kollár Nelli bántalmazással teli gyermekkorát hátrahagyva sikeres pszichoterapeutaként dolgozik, nyugodt mindennapjai kutyája társaságában telnek, mígnem egyszer csak találkozik Tomival, aki miatt szédítő fordulatot vesz az élete. Liptai Julcsi érzelmileg nélkülöző kislányból befolyásos nagyvállalati vezetővé küzdi fel magát, de negyvenes évei elején egyre erősödik benne a félelem, hogy már nem talál társat, és gyermeke sem lesz. Ekkor találkozik Szaszával, a tökéletes férj- és apajelölttel, aki ráadásul őrjítően vonzó. Nyíri Kriszti, egykori biológus-kutató sorsa úgy alakul, hogy vidéki gazdálkodó életet kénytelen élni férjével és négy gyermekével. Esze ágában sincs házasságtörő viszonyba kezdeni, de amikor véletlenül Csabába botlik, ellenállhatatlan erővel zuhan bele a sok-sok év szeretettelen házasság okozta űrbe. Zuhanásából csak Csaba karja mentheti meg. Mindhárom nő megéli a teljesség illúzióját egészen addig, míg Nelli kutyája ki nem szagol valami érdekeset.
Mátrai Szilvia első regénye lélektani korrajz a kiteljesedés kereséséről. Nelli, Julcsi és Kriszti sorsának különös összefonódásán keresztül jelenik meg a ma emberének egyik legnagyobb dilemmája: képesek vagyunk-e belátni, hogy hiábavaló a külső ingereket hajszolni, amikor valójában belső hiányosságaink miatt szenvedünk.

Snowflake
Eighteen-year-old Debbie White lives on a dairy farm with her mother, Maeve, and her uncle, Billy. Billy sleeps out in a caravan in the garden with a bottle of whiskey and the stars overhead for company. Maeve spends her days recording her dreams, which she believes to be prophecies.
This world is Debbie's normal, but she is about to step into life as a student at Trinity College in Dublin. As she navigates between sophisticated new friends and the family bubble, things begin to unravel. Maeve's eccentricity tilts into something darker, while Billy's drinking gets worse. Debbie struggles to cope with the weirdest, most difficult parts of herself, her family and her small life. But the fierce love of the White family is never in doubt, and Debbie discovers that even the oddest of families are places of safety.
A startling, honest, laugh and cry novel about growing up and leaving home, only to find that you've taken it with you, Snowflake is a novel for a generation, and for everyone who's taken those first, terrifying steps towards adulthood.

Camino de Santiago - útinapló
Nehéz ezt elmagyarázni, ezt egyszerűen érezni kell: a Camino hív. Ez a különleges, ébredő, hívogató érzés folyamatosan vissza-vissza tért. Semmi sem indokolta, hogy harmincegynehány napon keresztül nomád körülmények között gyalogoljak egy idegen országban! Csak ez az egyetlen érzés, ami nem hagyott nyugtot, míg rá nem léptem az útra. A Camino hív. És mi megyünk, előbb, vagy utóbb. Ott vagyunk az úton.

Ordinary Hazards
For fans of Celeste Ng comes a transfixing debut novel about how life's small decisions can ultimately yield the most powerful consequences.
Everyone always wants to know why relationships fail. It's a spiteful curiosity thing, schadenfreude, but also a self-preservation thing. People want to understand how to avoid the fall.
The answer is complicated. There isn't one reason, one event. It has something to do with smoking cigarettes and drinking all night. It takes into account thousands of hours of labour on a small house, projects finished and unfinished. It is late-night conversations and inside jokes and making love and having a child. The answer is wrapped up, shrouded and ensconced in prioritization, ambition and work. Caring about these things is not the problem. Not caring about them is death.
Emma has settled into her hometown bar for the evening. It was in this very room that she met Lucas a few years back, on a blind date. Nine months ago, in unimaginable circumstances, they divorced.
As Emma listens to the locals' banter, key facts about her life story begin to emerge and the past comes bearing down on her like a freight train.
A powerhouse in the business world, why has she ended up here, now a regular in the last bar on the edge of a small town? What is she running away from? And what is she willing to give up in order to recapture the love she has lost?
As Emma teeters on the edge of oblivion, becoming more booze-soaked by the hour, her night begins to spin out of control with shocking results.
'Seen through keen eyes and full of deep feeling, Ordinary Hazards delves into the psyche of a woman grappling with grief, loss, and the burdens of inheritance. Anna Bruno vividly renders the messiness of a single human life in all its joy and heartbreak.' -CLAIRE LOMBARDO, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
'Crisp, haunting, and intelligent. Beneath the surface of this booze-soaked, small town, dive bar novel lies a devastating story of loss, guilt, and grief. Bruno's narrator proves a dark, funny, unflinching companion as you descend with her, step by step, towards the revelation of what has led her to the bar tonight.' -STEPHEN MARKLEY, author of Ohio
'Quiet but emotionally engaging, this atmospheric novel has a raft of enduring characters who prompt her memories. Bruno has a gift for observation which she uses to produce a haunting examination of love, loss and grief.' -Fanny Blake, Daily Mail

Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg For Death CD
Dying Fetus je americká death metalová kapela pôvodne z Greater Upper Marlboro, Maryland, ktorá vznikla v roku 1991. Rôzne zmeny v zostave v priebehu rokov zanechali Johna Gallaghera ako jediného zostávajúceho pôvodného člena, ako aj hybnú silu kapely. Podľa Gallaghera bol názov kapely vybraný, keď boli členovia mladí, a mal byť urážlivý. Dying Fetus doteraz vydalo osem štúdiových albumov.Jedna z najväčších death metalových kapiel sa teraz vracia s očakávaným novým albumom "Make Them Beg For Death". Nahraný bol v Baltimore s dlhoročným producentom Stevom Wrightom a mixovaný Markom Lewisom (Cannibal Corpse), „Make Them Beg For Death“ obsahuje všetky charakteristické znaky Dying Fetus. Deviaty album veteránskej death metalovej kapely je rýchly, intenzívny a plný nezastaviteľných groovov.

Lacná kniha Nenávidím a miluji, 6. vydanie (-90%)
Příběh nerovného manželství profesora latiny a jeho žákyně je konfrontací protichůdných představ o životě, které mohou být jen těžko základem harmonického a láskyplného vztahu. Mladá a vitální Magdalena je sice zahrnována projevy lásky, ale velkorysost jejího manžela Wernera, jenž se tak snaží překlenout partnerské konflikty, ji spiše svazuje. Werner miluje latinské klasiky, nachází u nich rady i slova útěchy, nedokáže však porozumět své vlastní ženě, v níž tvrdošíjně hledá ideál oduševnělé krásy. Pro Magdalenu je svět antických vzorů morálky a moudrosti v podstatě cizí, život se jí zdá stále více prázdný. Věří, že něco opravdového může prožít jen s jiným mužem. Autorka své hrdiny neodsuzuje ani jim neradí, odpověd' na nejpalčivější otázky přináší život sám a vede postupně k smíření s vlastním osudem.

Ősmagyarok Azerbajdzsánban
Az azeri akadémikus és magyar kutatótársa, aki több mint 3 évet töltött Azerbajdzsánban, egy történelmi jelentőségű felfedezést tett: ez maga a "hiányzó láncszem" őstörténetünkben. Mi történt a "szavárd-magyarokkal" a XIII-XIV sz-tól? Hogyan kerültek magyarok már 750-ben Azerbajdzsánba? Mit rejt az ősi derbenti forrás, a Derbendnáme? Van-e kapcsolat Dagesztánban a hunok és a magyarok között? Ezekre az alapvető kérdésekre keresi és adja meg a választ a két kutató, miközben számos FF képpel és 16 színes oldalon mutatja be Azerbajdzsán kultúráját, középkori városait, régészeti leleteit és antropológiáját. A hiteles magyar őstörténet iránt érdeklődők számos tudományos újdonságot találnak ebben az átfogó műben.
