After Dark
The midnight hour approaches in an almost empty all-night diner. Mari sips her coffee and glances up from a book as a young man, a musician, intrudes on her solitude. Both have missed the last train home. The musician has plans to rehearse with his jazz band all night, Mari is equally unconcerned and content to read, smoke and drink coffee until dawn. They realise they've been acquainted through Eri, Mari's beautiful sister. The musician soon leaves with a promise to return. Shortly afterwards Mari will be interrupted a second time by a girl from the Alphaville Hotel; a Chinese prostitute has been hurt by a client, the girl has heard Mari speaks fluent Chinese and requests her help.Meanwhile Eri is at home and sleeps a deep, heavy sleep that is 'too perfect, too pure' to be normal; pulse and respiration at the lowest required level. She has been in this soporific state for two months; Eri has become the classic myth - a sleeping beauty. But tonight as the digital clock displays 00:00 a faint electrical crackle is perceptible, a hint of life flickers across the TV screen, though the television's plug has been pulled. Murakami, acclaimed master of the surreal, returns with a stunning new novel, where the familiar can become unfamiliar after midnight, even to those that thrive in small hours. With After Dark" we journey beyond the twilight. Strange nocturnal happenings, or a trick of the night? "

A fogyatkozó fény idején
"A feszült figyelemtől még Günter Grass pipája is kialudt!" (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)
Az utóbbi évek legnagyobb németországi könyvsikerének szerzője, Eugen Ruge matematikusként indult, színpadi szerzőként, hangjáték- és forgatókönyvíróként, rendezőként, műfordítóként és dokumentumfilm-készítőként szerzett nevet. Első regénye, a 2011. évi Német könyvdíjjal kitüntetett "A fogyatkozó fény idején", az NDK múlt és identitás vállalása: "Az NDK összeomlása után - voltaképpen mindmáig tart ez - a keletnémet létezést alacsonyabb rendűnek, másodrangúnak, másodosztályúnak tekintette a közmegegyezés... Én ezt nem fogadom el. Nem konkurencia ez a nyugatnak, nincs itt versengés semmilyen tekintetben, csupán önmagunk komolyan vétele." - nyilatkozta. A kritikák a Buddenbrook-házhoz hasonlítják Eugen Ruge négygenerációs családregényét, amely - akárcsak Thomas Mann műve - egy korszak végének és egy család széthullásának krónikája.

Hordaléktalajon
Számomra a rendetlenség olyan rend, amiben csak én ismerem ki magam. Ám adódnak ünnepi vagy szorongásos pillanatok, amikor az ember rendet tesz a fiókjaiban, az asztalán, a szobájában és az életében. Végignéz mindazon, ami az idők során felgyülemlett benne és körülötte. Mit tartson meg, mit engedhet el véglegesen? S mit ér mindaz, amit magával cipel, magában hordoz? Mi az, amit eddig valamiért elzárt a nyilvánosság elől? Természetesen nem az intimitásokról van szó, hanem mindarról, aminek köze van a gondolkodáshoz, a műveltséghez, az alkotáshoz. A kötet egy ilyen rendrakási kísérlet némely anyagát mutatja meg. Egy-két kérdésemre választ vártam ettől a könyvtől, de nem felelt nekem. Remélem, az olvasónak mond valamit, ami érdemessé teszi, hogy lapozgasson benne.

The Sun is also a star
The internationally bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything. Now a major film starring Yara ShahidiNatasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate.
Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him.
Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations.
Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that.
Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us.
Which one will come true?

Třetí kníha světové fantastiky podle výběru Martina Šusty. Každý člověk může být nositelem tisíce nových myšlenek, nápadů a příběhů...

Killer Heat
In District Attorney Alexandra Cooper's line of work, the discovery of a corpse isn't unusual. Not even the corpse of a young woman who was bound, bludgeoned and tortured to death. It's the location which is unusual - an abandoned Ferry Terminal at t
he southern tip of Manhattan. The ferries from here only went to one destination, the now uninhabited Governors Island. Also known as Ghost Island. The corpse is identified as that of a part-time prostitute with a side-line in kink and a high-end cli
ent list. A list to kill for and, clearly, to die for .. but the list is missing, and so is another girl. Alex, along with Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace, fear the killer will find more victims before they can identify him. And when another young wo
man disappears at an isolated site not far from Governor's Island, Alex has no hesitation in joining the desperate hunt for a singularly depraved murderer. A chase which catapults her into one of the most chilling encounters of her life.Upozornenie:

A történetekbe zárt elme
A történetalkotás és -feldolgozás, azaz az észlelt eseményeket, jelenségeket jelentéssel felruházó, narratív gondolati sémák alkalmazása, az emberi kommunikációban kulcsszerepet játszó, alapvető kognitív folyamat.
A narratíva olyan különleges metakódként jelenik meg kommunikatív aktusainkban, amely emberi lényegünket megjelenítve teszi lehetővé a kommunikációs szándékok megragadását és azt, hogy a közös világgal kapcsolatos üzeneteink szabadon áramolhassanak az adott kultúrákban, vagy a különböző kultúrák között. Az én- és identitásformáló narratívák gondolkodásunkra, megértési folyamatainkra, kommunikatív aktusainkra, mindennapi problémamegoldó cselekvéseinkre gyakorolt hatását vizsgálni tehát nem kevesebbet jelent, mint az emberi természet és kultúra kapcsolatát kutatni. A könyv ennek a felismerésnek a jegyében kínál átfogó elemzést a kérdéskört érintő filozófiai, nyelvészeti és pszichológiai elméletekről, külön is kitérve a narrativitás történelmi megismerésben és médiakommunikációban játszott szerepére.
