Double
This is an official tie-in edition to accompany Richard Ayoade's brilliant new film based on Dostoyevsky's deliciously dark and slyly funny novel. The Double stars Oscar nominee Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Mia Wasikowska (Jane Eyre) with support from Chris O'Dowd, Sally Hawkins, Paddy Considine, Tim Key and Chris Morris. A lonely government clerk - shy, awkward, blundering - finds himself pursued by a mysterious stranger. Somehow he looks familiar. In fact, he realizes, he looks exactly like him. He even has the same name. But, unlike him, he is charming and confident. Soon the stranger starts insinuating himself into his life. He works at his office, stays at his apartment, ingratiates himself with his colleagues. No one seems surprised. Who is he? What does he want? Is he a double, or something darker altogether? Moscow-born Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) served time in a convict prison in Siberia for his political alliances, and in his later years his passion for gambling led him deeply into debt. His many brilliant novels include Crime and Punishment, The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov. Ronald Wilks has translated numerous Russian volumes for Penguin Classics, including works by Chekhov, Sologub, Tolstoy and Gogol. If you enjoy this novel, you may want to read more by Dostoyevsky - his major novels and stories are all available in Penguin Classics, including Notes from Underground, Crime and Punishment, The Gambler and Other Stories, The Idiot, Demons, Netochka Nezvanova, The Brothers Karamazov, Poor Folk and Other Stories, The House of the Dead and The Village of Stepanchikovo.

Pace Drake imádja a szexet. Tudja, hol és hogyan szerezze meg, mit kell mondania, mit kell tennie, és nem kér bocsánatot, ha kielégíti a vágyait.
De amikor megismerkedik Kylie Sloannal, egy szingli anyukával, a lány teljesen elbűvöli, és hirtelen kételkedni kezd addigi módszereiben. Végül is nincs semmi izgalom, semmi titokzatosság abban, ha az ember megkefél egy nőt egy éjszakai klub vécéjében. Kylie bölcsessége és céltudatossága mellett üresnek és sekélyesnek tűnnek a részegen felszedett, egyéjszakás kalandok. Kylie éppen az ellentéte azoknak a kétségbeesett, tapadós nőknek, akikhez hozzászokott. Ez a lány nem akarja, hogy gondoskodjanak róla, és nincs is erre szüksége, ami csak még inkább arra sarkallja Pace-t, hogy pontosan ezt tegye.
Kylie nem bízik a férfiakban. Az utolsó, akivel dolga volt, lefektette, és magára hagyta egy kisbabával. Most csak a kisfiára jut ideje, még ha jobban hiányzik is neki a szex és az intimitás, mint akár magának is bevallaná. Valószínűleg a lehető legrosszabb ötlet kitárni a szívét a nála fiatalabb, hírhedt nőcsábász előtt. De Pace be akarja bizonyítani neki, hogy vannak még a világon megbízható férfiak, és olyan édesen viselkedik a kisfiával, hogy Kylie szeretne esélyt adni neki... De Pace vajon valóban lezárta múltjának könnyelmű fejezetét?
A New York Times és a USA Today bestsellerszerzőjének legújabb, bűnösen csábító, különálló erotikus regénye.

Avenue of Spies
The best-selling author of The Liberator brings to life the incredible true story of an American doctor in Paris, and his heroic espionage efforts during World War II The leafy Avenue Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris's hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American physician Sumner Jackson, who lived with his wife and young son Phillip at Number 11, found himself drawn into the Liberation network of the French resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the road at Number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting French Jews to concentration camps. And Number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany. From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of Allied and Axis intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After witnessing the brutal round-up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11--but the noose soon began to tighten. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material and extensive interviews with Phillip Jackson, Alex Kershaw recreates the City of Light during its darkest days. The untold story of the Jackson family anchors the suspenseful narrative, and Kershaw dazzles readers with the vivid immediacy of the best spy thrillers. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II's Europe,Avenue of Spies introduces us to the brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler. From the Hardcover edition.

Goya
Unflinching eye: Goya, the vivid witness to beauty, grandeur, and warFrom court portraits for the Spanish royals to horrific scenes of conflict and suffering, Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes (1746 1828) made a mark as one of Spain s most revered and controversial artists. A master of form and light, his influence reverberates down the centuries, inspiring and fascinating artists from the Romantic Eugene Delacroix to Britart enfants terribles, the Chapman brothers.Born in Fuendetodos, Spain, in 1746, Goya was apprenticed to the Spanish royal family in 1774, where he produced etchings and tapestry cartoons for grand palaces and royal residences across the country. He was also patronized by the aristocracy, painting commissioned portraits of the rich and powerful with his increasingly fluid and expressive style. Later, after a bout of illness, the artist moved towards darker etchings and drawings, introducing a nightmarish realm of witches, ghosts, and fantastical creatures.It was, however, with his horrific depictions of conflict that Goya achieved enduring impact. Executed between 1810 and 1820, The Disasters of War was inspired by atrocities committed during the Spanish struggle for independence from the French and penetrated the very heart of human cruelty and sadism. The bleak tones, agitated brushstrokes, and aggressive use of Baroque-like light and dark contrasts recalled Velazquez and Rembrandt, but Goya s subject matter was unprecedented in its brutality and honesty.In this introductory book from TASCHEN Basic Art 2.0 we set out to explore the full arc of Goya s remarkable career, from elegant court painter to deathly seer of suffering and grotesquerie. Along the way, we encounter such famed portraits as Don Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuniga, the dazzling Naked Maja, and The 3rd of May 1808 in Madrid, one of the most heart-stopping images of war in the history of art.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions"
Taste of Ashes
This is a superb account of complex psyche of Eastern Europe in the wake of the revolutions of 1989 and the opening of the communist archives. In the tradition of Timothy Garton Ash's The File, Yale historian and prize-winning author Marci Shore draws upon intimate understanding to illuminate the afterlife of totalitarianism. The Taste of Ashes spans from Berlin to Moscow, moving from Vienna in Europe's west through Prague, Bratislava, Warsaw and Bucharest to Vilnius and Kiev in the post-communist east. The result is a shimmering literary examination of the ghost of communism - no longer Marx's 'spectre to come' but a haunting presence of the past. Marci Shore builds her history around people she came to know over the course of the two decades since communism came to an end in Eastern Europe: her colleagues and friends, once-communists and once-dissidents, the accusers and the accused, the interrogators and the interrogated, Zionists, Bundists, Stalinists and their children and grandchildren. For them, the post-communist moment has not closed but rather has summoned up the past: revolution in 1968, Stalinism, the Second World War, the Holocaust. The end of communism had a dark side. As Shore pulls the reader into her journey of discovery, reading the archival records of people who are themselves confronting the traumas of former lives, she reveals the intertwining of the personal and the political, of love and cruelty, of intimacy and betrayal. The result is a lyrical and sometimes heartbreaking portrayal of how history moves and what history means.

"Weaver has become one of this country's most respected, best selling crime writers, and he fully deserves to be. Written with elegance, care and craft, What Remains is a luminous example of what a considerable talent Weaver has become. Catch him at once." (Daily Mail).

Silver Age of DC Comics
With super heroes nearly extinct at the start of the 1950s, DC Comics reignited the fire that would make them central to modern popular culture by infusing them with science fiction elements. To circumvent the limitations of the self-censoring Comics Code Authority, DC's writers and editors spun ever-more fantastic tales, bringing super heroes and Bob Hope alike into the realm of sci-fi. "DC Comics: The Silver Age" chronicles the transformation, with comics' first-ever "reboot" of Golden Age greats the Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman; as well as the increasingly wacky shenanigans of Batman, who was transformed into the reluctant spokesman for the camp sensibility of the '60s with a hit TV series that immortalized the "Dark Knight" as a pop culture icon for generations to come. Plus a new exclusive interview with Deadman/Green Lantern/Batman artist Neal Adams! TASCHEN's series on "DC Comics" explores the origins of comics' most enduring legends and the behind-the-scenes stories of the men who created them, era by era. Expanded from the Eisner Award-winning XL book, "75 Years of DC Comics", this new series hits the shelf at a reader friendly size with essays updated by author Paul Levitz and over 500 new images across five volumes. Thousands of covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles have been reproduced using the latest technology to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life, making this an invaluable reference for comics fans.

Black Earth
"A brilliant, haunting, and profoundly original portrait of the defining tragedy of our time." In this epic history of extermination and survival, Timothy Snyder presents a new explanation of the great atrocity of the twentieth century, and reveals the risks that we face in the twenty-first. Based on new sources from eastern Europe and forgotten testimonies from Jewish survivors, "Black Earth" recounts the mass murder of the Jews as an event that is still close to us, more comprehensible than we would like to think, and thus all the more terrifying. The Holocaust began in a dark but accessible place, in Hitler's mind, with the thought that the elimination of Jews would restore balance to the planet and allow Germans to win the resources they desperately needed. Such a worldview could be realized only if Germany destroyed other states, so Hitler's aim was a colonial war in Europe itself. In the zones of statelessness, almost all Jews died. A few people, the righteous few, aided them, without support from institutions. Much of the new research in this book is devoted to understanding these extraordinary individuals. The almost insurmountable difficulties they faced only confirm the dangers of state destruction and ecological panic. These men and women should be emulated, but in similar circumstances few of us would do so. By overlooking the lessons of the Holocaust, Snyder concludes, we have misunderstood modernity and endangered the future. The early twenty-first century is coming to resemble the early twentieth, as growing preoccupations with food and water accompany ideological challenges to global order. Our world is closer to Hitler's than we like to admit, and saving it requires us to see the Holocaust as it was -- and ourselves as we are. Groundbreaking, authoritative, and utterly absorbing, "Black Earth" reveals a Holocaust that is not only history but warning."

Királyi páncélban
A Zsigmond-trilógia könyveiben megismert Zádor fia Zádor kalandjai egy új sorozatban folytatódnak. Hősünk, aki Luxemburgi Zsigmondot szolgálja az 1390-es években, most már mint gróf kerül elénk, kit őfelsége minduntalan nagyon különleges feladatokkal bíz meg.
Amikor a nagy nikápolyi csatavesztés után Zsigmond külföldre menekül, távollétében Zádornak a király ellen szövetkező főurakat kell szemmel tartania. A fiatal gróf előtt lassan feltárulnak azon idők magyar és külföldi politikai játszmái, az idegen és hazai érdekek ütközése, számos úr emberi gyarlósága, árulása, sőt összeesküvése Zsigmond ellen.
Zádor előbb egyedül, aztán már Zsigmond aktív részvételével küzd a déli liga és az idegen uralkodót pártoló urak ellen. Elsőnek sejti meg, hogy az urak legszívesebben megölnék a királyt - és azt kérdi: miért ne teremtsünk ehhez egy jó alkalmat? Tervét őrültségnek tartják, elsősorban maga a király, ám végül mégis megvalósítják. Az "orvok", az idegen bérgyilkosok, akiket a déliek Zsigmond ellen küldenek, vajon sikerrel járnak-e? Megölik-e a magyar királyt, vagy...?
Hősünk mindent megtesz azért, hogy a Magyar Királyságot tovább vezethesse az erőskezű uralkodó. Hogy az ünneplő tömeg a tereken ismét kiálthassa: Vivat Sigismundus Rex! Éljen Zsigmond király! - akkor is, ha Zádor maga ezért nagy árat fizet.
