London Portrait of a City
London calling. This is a photographic journey through the history of this epic city. Samuel Johnson famously said that: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. From Victorian London to the Swinging 60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from Royal Weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of the Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs London gets the photographic tribute it deserves.

The Sudden Departure of the Frasers
My name is Amber Fraser. I've just moved in at Number 40, Lime Park Road. You'll come to think of me as a loving wife, a thoughtful neighbour and a trusted friend. This is a lie. When Christy and Joe Davenport are handed the keys to Number 40 on picture-perfect Lime Park Road, Christy knows it should be a dream come true. How strange though that the house was on the market for such a low price. That the previous owners, the Frasers, had renovated the entire property yet moved out within a year. That none of the neighbours will talk to Christy. As her curiosity begins to give way to obsession, Christy finds herself drawn deeper into the mystery of the house's previous occupants - and the dark and shocking secret that tore the street apart...Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Jane Shemilt, The Sudden Departure of the Frasers is a Rear Window for modern times. Praise for Louise Candlish: "A master of her craft." (Rosamund Lupton). "Louise Candlish's stories don't shy away from life's more painful and emotional moments." (Glamour). "I loved this book. Full of complicated yet sympathetic characters and riven with the kind of dilemmas that characterise real lives. I honestly didn't see the twist coming. Perfect." (Jojo Moyes on The Day You Saved my Life). "Tense, twisty and completely addictive, will keep you guessing right until the end..." (Good Housekeeping). "Absorbing, perceptive and gripping." (Daily Mail). Louise Candlish studied English at University College London and worked as an editor in art publishing and as a copywriter before writing fiction. Though her stories are about people facing dramatic dilemmas, she tries to live an uncomplicated life in London with her husband and daughter.

Nomadic Homes
Nomadic homes come in all shapes and sizes. They are for the wealthy and the poor, the trendy and the out-of-luck. Changing one’s place of residence is an endeavor that is as old as humanity, for reasons of season, or, more recently, to better occupy leisure time.
Written and edited by Philip Jodidio, this volume with illustrations by Russ Gray contains some of the most remarkable examples of homes on the move. Starting with totally revamped Airstream mobile homes, and going on to spectacular moveable vacation houses of the Epic Retreats “pop-up boutique hotel” in Wales, this book doesn’t stop moving, surveying the best in campers and tents, and going on to extravagant marine dwellings like BIG’s Urban Rigger, or the Manta Underwater Room in Zanzibar. At the other end of the spectrum, we find refugee housing for those forced into a life on the move, including shelters designed by the Pritzker Prize–winning architect Shigeru Ban.
What we discover throughout is that the nomadic spirit of our hunter-gatherer ancestors is very much alive in the modern world. Where architecture has often sought stability and thus the lack of movement, modernity has brought a sense of the finite, and a good deal of modesty about posterity and longevity. What more contemporary thought could there be than to seek nothing so much as to move, to grow perhaps, but always to move. “A good traveler,” said the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu “has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” As this book ably shows, it is the journey that counts.
Nyugaton a helyzet változatlan
Erich Maria Remarque klasszikus regénye olyan problémákat állít a középpontba, amelyek máig nem veszítettek érvényességükből. A fiatal, iskolapadból az I. világháború rettenetébe kerülő fiúk szenvedésének és kiábrándulásának története napjaink olvasóit is mélyen megérinti. Hőse, Paul Bäumer, nem sokban különbözik társaitól, hisz a lövészárok nagyjából egyforma emberekké gyúrja őket. A háború a fiatal testeket, lelkeket egyaránt pusztítja. A front iszonyata mindent kiéget belőlük, egyetlen erényük, egyetlen kincsük marad: a bajtársiasság.
Megrázóan igaz, őszinte regény, amely végkifejletében sem hagyja megnyugodni az olvasó lelkét, hisz mindazok, akik túlélték a borzalmat, tanácstalanul, elveszetten tekintenek előre a jövőbe. "Ha most hazatérünk majd - fáradtak vagyunk, reménytelenek. Nem tudjuk többé kiismerni magunkat a világban."

Két város regénye
Charles Dickensnek (1812-1870), a XIX. századi angol széppróza óriásának ez a kései regénye (1859) nyolcvan éve nem jelent meg magyarul, az utóbbi generációk számára tehát jóformán ismeretlen az életműből.
"Azok voltak a legszebb idők, és azok voltak a legrútabb idők, az volt a bölcsesség kora, az volt a balgaság kora, azok voltak a hit napjai, azok voltak a hitetlenség napjai, az volt a Fény évadja, az volt a Sötétség évadja, az volt a remény tavasza, az volt a kilátástalanság tele..."
Az 1789-es forradalmat közvetlenül megelőző idők Franciaországára utal ez az egyik leghíresebb angol regénykezdet, a címbeli két város pedig: Párizs és London. Két város - és két férfi, akikre lesújtanak a francia forradalom rettenetes eseményei. Londonban az osztálya által elkövetett bűnök elől menekülő, azokat megtagadó fiatal francia arisztokrata, Charles Darnay és a züllött életmódot folytató angol ügyvéd, Sydney Carton ugyanabba a fiatal nőbe szeret bele. Darnaynak akarata ellenére vissza kell térnie Párizsba, és szembe kell néznie a Terror anarchiájával. Carton sorsa végzetesen összefonódik riválisáéval, s a végső próbát neki is Párizsban kell kiállnia.
A szerző által "legjobb történetének" nevezett regény erőteljes, eleven portréja a változásnak, a felfordulásnak, amely nemcsak a történelem menetét, hanem az egyének életét is alapjaiban változtatja meg.

Esterházy János élete és mártírhalála
"Gróf Esterházy Jánosnak egyetlen "bűne" volt: a tömeggyilkos nácikat éppúgy megvetette, mint a tömeggyilkos kommunistákat, a népirtó Hitlert éppúgy, mint a népirtó Sztálint.
"A szlovákiai magyarság csak magyar. Keresztény és nemzeti alapon állunk, de a nyilaskeresztes beállítottság épp oly távol idegen számunkra, mint a bolsevisták sarlós kalapácsa."
Tudta. Hitte, vallotta: a nácik erkölcstelen, hitetlen, világromboló gazemberek.
Tudta, hitte, vallotta: a kommunisták erkölcstelen, hitetlen, világromboló gazemberek. (...)
Esterházy János életrajzát és szenvedéstörténetét tartja kezében az olvasó: egy 20. századi becsületes, keresztény magyar politikus élettörténetét. (...)" (Szigethy Gábor)

Red Nile
So much begins on the banks of the Nile: all religion, all life, all stories, the script we write in, the language we speak, the gods, the legends and the names of stars. This mighty river that flows through a quarter of all Africa has been history's greatest and most sustained creator. In this dazzling, idiosyncratic journey from ancient times to the Arab Spring, Robert Twigger weaves a Nile narrative like no other. Along the way we meet crocodiles and caliphs, nineteenth-century adventurers and twentieth-century novelists, biblical prophets and classical lovers, dam-builders and crusaders. As he navigates a meandering course through the history of the world's greatest river, he plucks the most intriguing, colourful and dramatic stories - truly a Nile red in tooth and claw. The result is both an epic journey through the whole sweep of human (and pre-human) history, and an intimate biography of the curious life of this great river, overflowing with stories of excess, love, passion, splendour and violence.
