Walter Gropius - Visionary Founder of the Bauhaus
* A Times and New Statesman Book of the Year *
* BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week *
* Illustrated with over 130 colour photographs and drawings *
'A masterpiece.' Edmund de Waal
'Commanding, intelligent, gripping.' The Times
From 1910 to 1930 Gropius was at the very centre of European modern art and design, as the founder of the German art school, the Bauhaus. Yet Gropius's beliefs and affiliations left him little choice but to leave Germany when Hitler came to power.
In this riveting book, Fiona MacCarthy draws on new research to re-evaluate Gropius's work and life. From his shattering experiences in the First World War to his turbulent marriage to the notorious Alma Mahler and the tragic early death of their daughter, MacCarthy leads us through his disorientating years in London, to his final peaceful and productive life in America. This is biography at its finest and most vivid.

World of Warcraft: Arthas - A Lich király felemelkedése
Egy misztikus erőkkel körülvett, tűhegyes szegélyekkel határolt, lebegő jégtömbben talált rá. A rúnák, amelyek a penge hosszán végigfutottak, hűvös kékben ragyogtak. Alatta egy emelvény terült el, egy nagy lankás dombon, amelyet hó borított. A jeges börtön a kard formájának néhány részletét elrejtette, míg másokat eltúlzott, egyszerre tárta fel és rejtette el magát, ezáltal még csábítóbbá válva. Arthas ismerte a pengét - pontosan ez volt az, amit álmában látott, mikor először megérkezett. Akkor jó ómennek gondolta, de már tudta, hogy az egy igazi jel volt. Ez a fegyver mindent megváltoztathat. Arthas elragadtatva bámulta, keze szinte sóvárgott azután, hogy megragadja és ujjai a markolat köré fonódjanak. Karjával érezni akarta, hogy milyen könnyedén lendülne a penge, amely megölhetné Mal'Ganist, véget vetne a kínnak, ami Lordaeron népét sújtja, véget vetne az emésztő bosszúvágynak. Közelebb lépett...
Gonoszsága legendás. Ő az élőholt Veszedelem ura, Fagyhalál rúnapenge forgatója, és Azeroth szabad népeinek ellensége. A Lich Király a mérhetetlen hatalom és a határtalan rosszindulat megtestesülése, jéghideg lelkét teljesen elemésztette azon terve, hogy elpusztítson minden életet a Warcraft világán.
Ám nem volt mindig ilyen. Mielőtt a lelke egyesült volna Ner'zhul, az ork sámán lelkével, a Lich Király még Arthas Menethil volt, Lordaeron koronahercege és az Ezüst Kéz rendjének hűséges paladinja. Amikor élőholtak serege fenyegette mindazt, amit szeretett, Arthas elindul balsorsú küldetésére, hogy megszerezze a rúnapengét, amely elég erős ahhoz, hogy megmenthesse vele szülőföldjét. Azonban a fegyver, amit keres, hatalmas árat követel új gazdájától, aki megkezdi rémísztő útját a kárhozat felé. Arthas átkel a hideg északi pusztaságokon, hogy a Fagyott Trónnál végül szembenézzen a legsötétebb végzettel...
Parable of the Sower
This first Earthseed novel by ground-breaking writer Octavia E. Butler feel like a prophetic nod to our current world. If you were glued to The Handmaid's Tale, you'll love this beautiful new edition of a seminal American classic.
'If there is one thing scarier than a dystopian novel about the future, it's one written in the past that has already begun to come true. This is what makes Parable of the Sower even more impressive than it was when first published' Gloria Steinem
We are coming apart. We're a rope, breaking, a single strand at a time.
America is a place of chaos, where violence rules and only the rich and powerful are safe. Lauren Olamina, a young woman with the extraordinary power to feel the pain of others as her own, records everything she sees of this broken world in her journal.
Then, one terrible night, everything alters beyond recognition, and Lauren must make her voice heard for the sake of those she loves.
Soon, her vision becomes reality and her dreams of a better way to live gain the power to change humanity forever.
All that you touch,
You Change.
All that you Change,
Changes you.
The Man Who Wasn't There - A Life of Ernest Hemingway
Ernest Hemingway was an involuntary chameleon, who would shift seamlessly from a self-cultivated image of hero, aesthetic radical, and existential non-conformist to a figure made up at various points of selfishness, hypocrisy, self-delusion, narcissism and arbitrary vindictiveness.
Richard Bradford shows that Hemingway's work is by parts erratic and unique because it was tied into these unpredictable, bizarre features of his personality. Impressionism and subjectivity always play some part in the making of literary works. Some authors try to subdue them while others treat them as the essentials of creativity but they endure as a ubiquitous element of all literature. They are the writer's private signature, their authorial fingerprint.
In this ground-breaking and intensely revealing new biography, including previously unpublished letters from the Hemingway archives, Richard Bradford reveals how Hemingway all but erased his own existence through a lifetime of invention and delusion, and provides the reader with a completely new understanding of the Hemingway oeuvre.

Children of Virtue and Vengeance
Children of Virtue and Vengeance is the breathtaking second title in Tomi Adeyemi's YA fantasy trilogy, Legacy of Orisha, following her ground-breaking, West African-inspired debut Children of Blood and Bone.
After battling the impossible, Zelie and Amari have finally succeeded in bringing magic back to the land of Orisha. But the ritual was more powerful than they imagined, reigniting the powers of not only the maji but also some nobles with magic ancestry.
Now, Zelie struggles to unite the maji in an Orisha where the enemy is just as strong and magical as they are. When Amari's mother forms an army of royals with newly awakened powers, Zelie fights to secure Amari's right to the throne and protect the new maji from the monarchy's wrath.
But with civil war looming on the horizon, Zelie finds herself at a breaking point: she must find a way to bring the kingdom together or watch as Orisha tears itself apart.
Empire of Silence
Hadrian Marlowe, a man revered as a hero and despised as a murderer, chronicles his tale in the galaxy-spanning debut of the Sun Eater series, merging the best of space opera and epic fantasy.
It was not his war.
On the wrong planet, at the right time, for the best reasons, Hadrian Marlowe started down a path that could only end in fire. The galaxy remembers him as a hero: the man who burned every last alien Cielcin from the sky. They remember him as a monster: the devil who destroyed a sun, casually annihilating four billion human lives--even the Emperor himself--against Imperial orders.
But Hadrian was not a hero. He was not a monster. He was not even a soldier.
Fleeing his father and a future as a torturer, Hadrian finds himself stranded on a strange, backwater world. Forced to fight as a gladiator and navigate the intrigues of a foreign planetary court, he will find himself fighting a war he did not start, for an Empire he does not love, against an enemy he will never understand.

Sabotage: The Hidden Nature of Finance
Financial malpractice, we're told, is an aberration: the actions of a few bad apples deviating from the norms of a market-governed process and gaming the system. In Sabotage, political scientists Anastasia Nesvetailova and Ronen Palan blow this fiction apart, showing that sabotage is not an anomaly, but part of the business model of finance - and always has been.
Abusive lending practices, misleading investors, manipulating prices, deliberately falsifying figures, cheating, obstruction and taking advantage of 'the dumbest person in the room' - they're actually the main source of profitability in finance, and the surest way to a bonus. If you want to make money in the industry, you need to find ways of sabotaging either your clients, your competitors or the government (or all three), and above all, the market itself. Talking to industry insiders, economists and high net worth customers, examining the history of finance and its workings today, the authors show us how the idea of sabotage not only makes sense of all past economic crises, but must also be at the heart of all future regulations.

Lacná kniha Body (-50%)
The body remains a battleground. Politicized, conceptualized and increasingly shared, our often-paradoxical relationship with the human form is nothing new, but finds itself heightened in the digitised, virtualised era of the `post-industrial' body. No longer a tool but a work-in-progress, our bodily expectations bound from fantasy to reality, beauty to tyranny, art to commerce and curiosity to obsession, leaving us dreaming of other bodies and alternate lives.
Surveying a range of over 360 photographic re-presentations from the worlds of art, fashion, scientific and vernacular photography - including the work of Nobuyoshi Araki, Bettina Rheims, Lauren Greenfield, Viviane Sassen, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans, Daido Moriyama, Sally Mann, Pieter Hugo and Juergen Teller, Solve Sundsbo and Daniel Sannwald - Body: The Photography Book explores what our imaging of the human form, and the ways in which those images have been used and shared, might reflect of our relationship to the body. Supporting the broad range of photography is a foreword by a cultural critic, and an essay by the acclaimed psychologist Professor David Sander, PhD., discussing the neurological representation of our own bodies.
