The Bourne Identity
He was dragged from the sea, his body riddled with bullets. There are a few clues: a frame of microfilm surgically implanted beneath the skin of his hip; evidence that plastic surgery has altered his face; strange things he says in his delirium, whic
h could be code words. And a number on the film negative that leads to a bank account in Zurich, four million dollars, and a name for the amnesiac: Jason Bourne. Now he is running for his life. A man with an unknown past and an uncertain future, the
target of assassins and at the heart of a deadly puzzle. He's fighting for survival and no one can help him - except the one woman who once wanted to escape him...

Mastery
Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then how to change them completely. Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': by paying close and careful attention, they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality, blasting previous patterns of achievement open from within. Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and how to start living by your own rules.
Az első 90 nap
"Amikor elkezdtem írni Az első 90 napot, nem sok kiadvány foglalkozott azzal, hogyan vegyük fel a tempót egy új munkakörben, vagy azzal, mi a frissen fel vett munkaerő szervezetbe való beillesztésének, tranzíciójának, változásvezetésének leghatékonyabb módja."
"Miért kritikus jelentőségű a tranzíció, az átmenet időszaka? Ezerháromszázötven HR-vezető 90 százaléka egyetértett abban, hogy "a tranzíciós időszakok jelentik a legnagyobb kihívást egy vezető számára". És majdnem háromnegyedük vallotta, hogy "az első pár hónap pozitív vagy negatív mérlege az egész pályafutásra kihat az adott munkakörben"."
"A tranzíció előnye, hogy esélyt ad az újrakezdésre. Ugyanakkor az átmeneti időszakban sérülékenyebbek vagyunk, hiszen nincsenek kiépült kapcsolatrendszereink, és az új munkakörhöz kapcsolódó elvárások is homályosak lehetnek. A munkát kritikus tekintetek gyűrűjében kell végezni, hiszen környezetünk tudni akarja, mennyire vagyunk hatékonyak, és milyen vezetői értékeket képviselünk."
"Egy vezető rengeteg rejtett tranzícióval is szembesül karrierje során. Ezek akkor mennek végbe, amikor a vezető munkája anélkül módosul, hogy ez pozíciójában, illetve munkaköri leírásában is kifejezésre jutna. Ezek a rejtett tranzíciók sok veszélyt hordoznak magukban, hiszen a vezetők nem mindig ismerik fel őket, vagy nem szentelnek nekik kellő figyelmet. A legveszélyesebb tranzíciós folyamat éppen az, amit észre sem veszünk."
# Az első 90 nap 2004 nyarán felkerült a Business Week bestsellerlistájára, és tizenöt hónapon keresztül itt is maradt; az elmúlt tíz évben folyamatosan szerepel a Harvard Business Review Press bestsellerlistáján. A könyvet több országban kiadták már, huszonhét nyelvre fordították le, és 2009-ben minden idők 100 legjobb üzleti témájú könyve közé válogatták a 800-CEO-READ-en.

A suttogó mindent megold
A "suttogó" sorozat első két kötetének (A suttogó titkai I. és II.) megjelenése után Tracy Hogg hihetetlenül népszerű lett szerte a világon, és rengetegen fordultak hozzá tanácsért. Összegyűjtötte a leggyakoribb gondokat, és ebben a könyvében még részletesebb magyarázattal kísérve, ... Folytatás ›› még több példával, még gyakorlatiasabb megközelítéssel, újabb ötletekkel oldja meg őket. Az olvasók kérésének megfelelően több benne a táblázatokban összefoglalt tudnivaló, az életkori bontás, a mintaétrend, a mintanapirend stb. Elsősorban a problémák nagy hármasára, az alvásra, az evésre és a viselkedésre összpontosít az előző két kötetben kifejtett elvek és filozófia alapján, esetenként továbbfejlesztve vagy felülvizsgálva őket - de foglalkozik az érzelmi neveléssel, a szobatisztaságra szoktatással, a hisztivel és a különböző félelmekkel is. Most bepillanthatunk Tracy fejébe, hogy lássuk, ő hogyan elemzi a problémákat, milyen kérdéseket tesz föl, hogyan állítja össze a megoldás tervét, és arra is megtanítja az olvasót, miként igazíthatja a módszereket a saját gyermekéhez, továbbá mit tegyen, ha úgy érzi: "az én gyerekemnél ez nem válik be". Akik már járatosak valamennyire a "suttogásban", de maradt problémájuk, most elvégezhetik a mesterkurzust; akik még nem ismerik Tracy gyermeknevelési filozófiáját, azok előtt most egy egészen új világ tárul föl.
Tracy Hogg ápolónőként, szoptatási és újszülött-tanácsadóként több mint huszonöt éven keresztül foglalkozott csecsemőkkel és kisgyermekekkel. Negyvenes évei közepén, 2004-ben halt meg melanómában. Internetes honlapjának címe: www.babywhisperer.com.

A hazára talált próféta
Minden korok minden prófétájának a dolga roppant egyszerű, hiszen elrendelt életet él: azt mondja, amit mondania kell, amiért küldetett. Az üzenetet - az egyetlen valóságos és üdvözítő igazságot -, amit felismert, csak hirdetni áll módjában, megváltoztatni nem. Így aztán, ha a közönyös tömegben rétori buzgólkodása ellenére sem talál hívekre - azaz hazára -, akkor a felelősség nem az övé, viszont a kudarc égető szégyene annál inkább.
A Jézus szavai nyomán született közmondás - senki sem lehet próféta a maga hazájában - Szabó Dezső kortársi megítélésére is jellemző volt. Csak aki el tudja képzelni az elutasított, kinevezett majd elszigetelt próféta életérzését, az tudja megérteni az író novelláinak világát: "Ó, szegény magyar Don Kisott, görények és patkányok közé vágtattál eposzt csinálni!"
E sokszor önéletrajzi ihletésű elbeszélések autentikus bepillantást nyújtanak Szabó Dezső szellemiségének alapvetéseibe, például a gyakorta visszaköszönő determináció-érzésbe, a "mi az író dolga a világban?"- motívumába, a magány és a búcsúzás témájába, de a temető-kultusz és a másokért élés elv is megjelenik elbeszéléseiben. Szomorú sajátsága világának az öngyilkosság gondolatának fel-felbukkanása, míg a Szabó Dezső-i prófécia legalapvetőbb tanítása, a keresztényi szánalom tragikus hiánya is megszólal az egyik kis remekműben.
Szabó Dezső a magyar sors legmélyebb mélységeit kifejező próféta, aki egy nemzedék figyelmét fordította e kérdések felé. Hazátlan prófétaként halt meg, de emlékműve 1990 óta a Gellért-hegyről figyel a fővárosra, mint ahogyan meg is jósolta egyik írásában: "Ott fogok állni majd őrhegyed ormán, a vén Gellért keleti peremén: örök vigyázásban, örök szerelemmel, örök pásztorként, úgy nézlek én."
Sokunkban szerencsére már hazára talált.

How to read novels like a professor
Of all the literary forms, the novel is arguably the most discussed . . . and fretted over. From Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote to the works of Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and today's masters, the novel has grown with and adapted to changing societies and technologies, mixing tradition and innovation in every age throughout history.

Foster--the sage and scholar who ingeniously led readers through the fascinating symbolic codes of great literature in his first book, How to Read Literature Like a Professor--now examines the grammar of the popular novel. Exploring how authors' choices about structure--point of view, narrative voice, first page, chapter construction, character emblems, and narrative (dis)continuity--create meaning and a special literary language, How to Read Novels Like a Professor shares the keys to this language with readers who want to get more insight, more understanding, and more pleasure from their reading.

OWC House of Mirth
Since its publication in 1905 The House of Mirth has commanded attention for the sharpness of Wharton's observations and the power of her style. Its heroine, Lily Bart, is beautiful, poor, and unmarried at 29. In her search for a husband with money and position she betrays her own heart and sows the seeds of the tragedy that finally overwhelms her. The House of Mirth is a lucid, disturbing analysis of the stifling limitations imposed upon women of Wharton's generation. Herself born into Old New York Society, Wharton watched as an entirely new set of people living by new codes of conduct entered the metropolitan scene. In telling the story of Lily Bart, who must marry to survive, Wharton recasts the age-old themes of family, marriage, and money in ways that transform the traditional novel of manners into an arresting modern document of cultural anthropology.
