Mistletoe and Kisses
When love is staring you straight in the face…
Lord Hugh Radley is handsome, clever, and not short of a penny. He is also at times more than a little vague, often lost in his own world.
For the past two years professor’s daughter Mary Gray has worked alongside him while he completed his studies at Cambridge University. She has brought him coffee and toast for supper most nights.
Somewhere along the way, she also secretly gave him her heart.
Christmas 1790 looms large with life changes for both of them. Hugh has completed his degree and has a bright future ahead of him.
For Mary, she faces a bleaker Christmas. It will be her first without her beloved father, and she will be alone.
A mislaid book sees Hugh returning to the university in time to discover the secret that Mary has been keeping from him. She has been evicted from her long-time home.
Hugh is outraged at the treatment Mary has received, but while he is busy being angry, his sister Adelaide steps in and invites Mary to spend Christmas with the Radley family at Strathmore Castle in Scotland.
In the wilds of chilly Scotland, Hugh finally faces up to the truth that he has long given over his heart to Mary. He makes the fateful decision to ask Mary for her hand in marriage.
Being Hugh however he is clueless about the minds of women and he makes a mess of things. With the clock ticking down to New Year’s Eve, he knows that if he doesn’t secure Mary’s love by then, he will lose her forever.
Cupid’s little helpers are meanwhile busy at work.
With the aid of the time-old tradition of kissing under the mistletoe, Hugh and Mary make tentative steps toward finding their happily ever after.
One kiss at a time.
Mistletoe and Kisses was previously published as part of the Winter Wishes Anthology.

In this extraordinary debut, a cast of characters grapple with unexpected betrayal, the loss of innocence and the lies we tell. With sharp insight, Ben Hinshaw illuminates the unnerving nature of what it means to grow up, to be a teenager playing at adulthood and an adult playing games.

Ruža v zime
Eriennin otec má dlhy, často podvádza v kartách a tie sa rozhodne vyrovnať tým, že svoju dcéru vydá za niekoho bohatého. Nebol by to až taký zlý nápad, keby keby otec nenosil domov len samé nepodarené existencie, ktoré majú k príťažlivému mužovi na míle ďaleko. Všetko sa ešte skomplikuje, keď k ním domov prihrmí americký kapitán, ktorého by si Erienne s nadšením zobrala ak by to nebol ten, komu otec dlhuje najviac peňazí. A aby to nebolo málo, tak Erienne pri hádke s otcom rozhnevane navrhne otcovi, či svoju vlastnú dcéru náhodou nechce predať v dražbe. Presne to však robiť nemala, lebo otec sa jej slov chytí a vyhlási, že kto dá najviac, stane sa jej manželom. A najvyššiu sumu ponúkne zjazvený muž v maske, ktorý má od krásavca ďaleko. Bude to peklo alebo raj na zemi?

Osmdesátky v New Orleans? Peklo na Zemi!
Ta pravá monster párty se koná jedině v New Orleans!
Co je lepší než série o Lovcích monster od veleúspěšného autora, jako je Larry Correia? Spin-off té samé série zasazený do osmdesátých let, kde se náboji nešetří a o politické korektnosti skoro nikdo neslyšel. Zvlášť když si na to psaní vzal Correia do tandemu neméně úspěšného Johna Ringa!
Bývalého mariňáka, pozdější dočasnou mrtvolu a nyní lovce monster Chada osud (nebo spíš nenechavé ruce a příliš mladé elfky s naštvaným příbuzenstvem) tentokrát zavál do New Orleans, kde místní Hoodoo komando musí za jeden den ulovit víc monster, než v jiném městě za měsíc. Obzvlášť když je úplněk… Taky to ve městě vypadá jinak než v jakémkoliv jiném loveckém revíru – a lovci samotní padají za oběť únavě a chybám rychleji, než noví stíhají přicházet.
John Ringo vzal Correiův svět a už tak adrenalinové příběhy doplnil o vlastní dávku akce, humoru a pořádné muziky. Stejně jako u předchozího dílu Grunge mají i tentokrát lovci i čtenář jen málo času na oddych, protože akce střídá akci a monstra dodržují pauzu na oběd jen v tom případě, že tím obědem jste vy. Od vlkodlaků a upírů přes magické krokodýly až po obří jedovaté žáby – New Orleans má všechno. A umí z toho uvařit skvělou večeři, tedy pokud to někdo stihne včas zabít.
A tím vším prochází Chad se svým věrným Truchlivým mečem a nebývalou volností. Ve městě zaplaveném příšerami a hoodoo totiž ani vládní dozor neumí zahlazovat všechny stopy a každý místní ví, kdy má začít utíkat. Připravte se na koncert vyhnaný na maximum: záplavy nepřátel, nervy napjaté k prasknutí, zbraně opravdu těžkého kalibru a někde ve stínech zlo, které to má všechno na svědomí… v jediném místě na světě, kde lovec může být občas i veřejným hrdinou.
V New Orleans se totiž všechno dělá jinak.

A Brief History of Motion
Beginning around 3,500 BC with the wheel, and moving through the eras of horsepower, trains and bicycles, Tom Standage puts the rise of the car - and the future of urban transport - into a broader historical context.
Our society has been shaped by the car in innumerable ways, many of which are so familiar that we no longer notice them. Why does red mean stop and green mean go? Why do some countries drive on the left, and some on the right? How did cars, introduced only a little over a century ago, change the way the world was administered, laid out and policed, along with experiences like eating and shopping? And what might travel in a post-car world look like?
As social transformations from ride-sharing to the global pandemic force us to critically re-examine our relationship with personal transportation, A Brief History of Motion is an essential contribution to our understanding of how the modern world came to be.

Grains of Dust
Most of us long to leave our mark on the world. As I dreamed of big things, they suddenly visualized and so began my custom of writing down everything that came to my mind. It didn’t matter what time the idea came, it was written down.
I then looked closely at the words and attempted to perfect them, even if it meant reading the sentences countless times. Finally, I would piece all the words together.
It doesn’t matter if you write, sing, dance or choose to shine in something completely different.
The most important thing is to excel at what inspires you. What uplifts and nourishes your spirit.
We must never give up when obstacles threaten to derail dreams.
If you persevere, your success will taste sweeter than even honey.

Simply Proust
“Simply Proust is an excellent introduction and guide to Proust’s fascinating life and his monumental work In Search of Lost Time. Themes such as love, jealousy, snobbery, voyeurism, and brothels, as well as characters in Proust’s novel, are treated in an engaging, entertaining manner. Jack Jordan’s book is a joy to read, full of interesting information, and is highly recommended.” —Cynthia Gamble, Honorary Research Fellow, University of Exeter, UK
Born in the port city of Taganrog in southern Russia, Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) survived a difficult childhood with an abusive father and put himself through school (while supporting his family), qualifying as a physician in 1884. At the same time he began practicing medicine, he also became celebrated for his short fiction, which redefined the genre with its formal innovations and psychological depth. His first serious play, The Seagull, was booed at its premiere in 1896, but—along with his other plays Uncle Vanya, Three Sisters, and The Cherry Orchard—it came to be seen as a masterpiece, bringing a new realism to the theater and to acting, which continues to reverberate today. Afflicted with ill health for much of his life, Chekhov died of tuberculosis at the age of 44, prematurely depriving the world of a great writer and a great humanist.
In Simply Chekhov, Professor Carol Apollonio provides a concise and accessible introduction to Chekhov, both within his time and place (Russia on the eve of revolution) and as a master of world literature. Readers will meet the major figures of Chekhov’s era—as well as his colorful family, lovers, colleagues, and friends—and gain an appreciation for the ways in which this real-life cast of characters are reflected in Chekhov’s stories and plays.
Drawing on insights from her more than three decades of Chekhov scholarship, Apollonio not only presents strikingly original insights into Chekhov’s major works, but explores the concerns—from the place of humans in the natural world to the threat of homelessness—that made him such a compelling figure and that remain relevant to the crises we face today.

Magyar animációs rendezőportrék
A Magyar animációs rendezőportrék hét hazai alkotó életművét mutatja be az 1970-es évektől napjainkig. A Gyulai Líviusz, Cakó Ferenc, Orosz István, M Tóth Éva, Ulrich Gábor, Csáki László és Bucsi Réka animációs filmjeiben elmélyedő tanulmányok az egyéni stílust és tematikai érdeklődést éppúgy feltérképezik, mint az életművek kapcsolódását az animációs film itthoni és nemzetközi tradícióihoz, illetve a társművészetekhez.
Részletes elemzések olvashatók olyan nagysikerű animációkról, mint például a Jónás, a Hamu, a Vigyázat, lépcső!, a Jelenések, a Dűne, a My Name is Boffer Bings vagy a Symphony No. 42. Az alkotók munkássága részben vagy egészben a rendszerváltást követő évtizedekhez kötődik, így a kötet az elmúlt harminc év művészi tendenciáinak mérlegelését is célozza. A bevezető tanulmány az animációs film és a szerzőiség, illetve a stíluskérdések - mindmáig keveset kutatott - összefüggéseit vizsgálja.
