Nehéz manapság olyan irodalmi műfajt találni, amely egyaránt megfelel írónak és olvasónak. A twitterezés, az SMS-ek, a gyorséttermek világában bátorság kell a nagyregényhez, de az egypercesekhez is. Hiszen mindannyiunk élete egy nagyregény, amely azonban millió egypercesből áll össze. Hol és mivel ragadjuk meg a lényeget és az olvasó figyelmét? Egyáltalán a betű alkalmas-e még rá, vagy már csak a képekből, filmből, látványból értünk?Évtizedekkel ezelőtt egyperceseivel Örkény István megelőzte korát, bár lehet, hogy ma már inkább másodperceseket írna. Most én is rövidülő időmet és szűkülő teremet keresem, hátha létrejön a korunknak megfelelő téridő. Vagy egyszerűbben: pár szóból is megértjük egymást.

The Old Man and The Sea
The old man, whose name is Santiago, is a fisherman who lives alone near Havana. Incredibly poor, he sleeps in a shack and sets out each day on a small skiff to try to catch himself some fish to eat or sell. For awhile, the boy, named Manolin, accompanied the old man each day, to learn from him and assist him. Unfortunately, the old man went weeks without catching anything, so the boy's parents made him stop accompanying the old man. When the story begins, the boy is probably around twelve years old, and the old man has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish. The boy comes to his shack to talk to the old man about baseball, as they both greatly admire Joe DiMaggio, and supplies the old man might need. The boy likes to bring the old man whatever he can, such as food, bait, and clothing. He also helps the old man carry his heavy mast and sail out to his boat each morning. They drink a cup of coffee together before the old man heads out on his skiff alone.

So You Had to Build a Time Machine
Skid doesn’t believe in ghosts or time travel or any of that nonsense. A circus runaway-turned-bouncer, she believes in hard work, self-defense, and good strong coffee. Then one day an annoying theoretical physicist named Dave pops into the seat next to her at her least favorite Kansas City bar and disappears into thin air when she punches him (he totally deserved it).Now, street names are changing, Skid’s favorite muffins are swapping frosting flavors, Dave keeps reappearing in odd places like the old Sanderson murder house—and that’s only the start of her problems.Something in the world has gone wrong. Terribly wrong. Absolutely &#*$&ed up.Someone has the nastiest versions of every conceivable reality at their fingertips, and they're not afraid to smash them together. With the help of a smooth-talking haunted house owner and a linebacker-sized Dungeons and Dragons-loving baker, Skid and Dave set out to save the world from whatever scientific experiment has sent them all dimension-hopping against their will. It probably means the world is screwed.Jason Offutt writes books. This is infinitely better than what his father trained him to do, which was to drink beer and shout at the television. He is best known for science fiction, such as his end-of-the-world zombie novel Bad Day for the Apocalypse (a curious work that doesn't include zombies), his paranormal non-fiction like Chasing American Monsters (that does), and his book of humor How to Kill Monsters Using Common Household Objects. He teaches university journalism, cooks for his family, and wastes much of his writing time trying to keep the cat off his lap. You can find more about Jason at his website, www.jasonoffutt.com. There are no pictures of his cat Gary, and it serves him right.

Ambassador 4: Coming Home
The world as we know it is on a certain path to war...
Delegate Cory Wilson has returned to gamra headquarters from deep space with a rather unwelcome guest: Captain Kando Luczon of the mammoth Aghyrian ship that has returned after mysteriously vanishing 50,000 years ago. On board the ship only 400 years have passed, in which they have visited another galaxy. But the captain isn't willing to share what they found there or why they decided to come back. In fact, the captain does his utmost best to live up to his infamous historical reputation as an utter jerk, having lived through four hundred years to cultivate his jerkery.
Cory had hoped that by isolating the captain from his ship, mostly still in stasis mode, he could start a conversation, but Kando Luczon isn't interested in a conversation. He views the modern version of his home world Asto as inferior, its inhabitants the Coldi as nothing but a placeholder race and all other races as savages.
Meanwhile the ship is showing signs of waking up, ancient satellites in orbit in the space junk clouds around Asto and Ceren sputter into life, and Asto's Chief Coordinator and Cory's friend Ezhya Palayi makes it clear that if pushed, Asto's formidable military fleet will take defensive action.

The Cold Start Problem
A transformative guide to growing any business, from one of Silicon Valley's most esteemed investors
Financial Times Business Book of the Month
'A true Silicon Valley insider' Wired
Why do some products take off? And what can we learn from them?
The hardest part of launching a product is getting started. When you have just an idea and a handful of customers, growth can feel impossible. This is the cold start problem.
Andrew Chen has a solution. As a partner at the pre-eminent VC firm Andreesen Horowitz, he has invested in some of the world's fastest-growing companies. Along the way, he's become one of the most renowned bloggers in tech - hailed by Wired as a 'true Silicon Valley insider'.
Now, Chen reveals how any organisation can surmount the cold start problem. His solution lies in the network effect: the way a service improves as more people sign up. It means that today's leading products - from Wikipedia to to WhatsApp - get more powerful with every additional user.
Drawing on interviews with the founders of LinkedIn, Zoom, Uber, Dropbox, Tinder, Airbnb and more, Chen unpicks how to start and scale these network effects. He reveals how to build an 'atomic network' that is just big enough to sustain itself. He uncovers how to spot the tipping point after which growth takes care of itself. And he explores why some big companies manage to sustain viral network effects for years (while others quickly stop growing).
The result is a one-stop guide to scaling a product, road-tested at some of the world's most valuable companies.
Less is Lost
For Arthur Less, life is going surprisingly well: he is a moderately accomplished novelist in a steady relationship with his partner, Freddy Pelu. But nothing lasts: the death of an old lover and a sudden financial crisis has Less running away from his problems yet again as he accepts a series of literary gigs that send him on a zigzagging adventure across the US.
Less roves across the 'Mild Mild West', through the South and to his mid-Atlantic birthplace, with an ever-changing posse of writerly characters and his trusty duo - a human-like black pug, Dolly, and a rusty camper van nicknamed Rosina. He grows a handlebar mustache, ditches his signature gray suit, and disguises himself in the bolero-and-cowboy-hat costume of a true 'Unitedstatesian'... with varying levels of success, as he continues to be mistaken for either a Dutchman, the wrong writer, or, worst of all, a 'bad gay'.
We cannot, however, escape ourselves - even across deserts, bayous, and coastlines. From his estranged father and strained relationship with Freddy, to the reckoning he experiences in confronting his privilege, Arthur Less must eventually face his personal demons. With all of the irrepressible wit and musicality that made Less a bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-winning, must-read breakout book, Less Is Lost is a profound and joyous novel about the enigma of life, the riddle of love, and the stories we tell along the way.

New Order - Substance (Remastered) 2CD
New Order je anglická rocková skupina, ktorú v roku 1980 založili spevák a gitarista Bernard Sumner, basgitarista Peter Hook a bubeník Stephen Morris. Členovia sa preskupili po rozpade ich predchádzajúcej kapely Joy Division kvôli samovražde hlavného speváka Iana Curtisa. Neskôr toho roku sa k nim pridala Gillian Gilbert na klávesoch. Integrácia post-punku s elektronickou a tanečnou hudbou z New Order z nich urobila jednu z najuznávanejších a najvplyvnejších kapiel 80. rokov. Boli vlajkovou loďou pre nezávislé nahrávacie vydavateľstvo Factory Records so sídlom v Manchestri a jeho nočný klub The Haçienda.Zatiaľ čo rané roky kapely boli zatienené odkazom Joy Division, ich skúsenosti z newyorskej klubovej scény na začiatku 80. rokov viedli k tomu, že do svojej tvorby čoraz viac začleňovali tanečné rytmy a elektronické nástroje. Ich hit z roku 1983 „Blue Monday“ sa stal najpredávanejším 12-palcovým singlom všetkých čias a populárnou klubovou skladbou. V 80. rokoch vydali úspešné albumy ako Power, Corruption & Lies (1983), Technique (1989), singlová kompilácia Substance (1987). Rozišli sa v roku 1993, aby pracovali na individuálnych projektoch a potom sa dali dokopy v roku 1998. Odvtedy prešli New Order rôznymi prestávkami a personálnymi zmenami, z ktorých najvýraznejšie bol odchod Hooka v roku 2007 pre osobné spory s ostatnými členmi. V roku 2015 vydali desiaty štúdiový album Music Complete. V roku 2023 boli Joy Division a New Order nominované ako jeden počin do Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
New Order predstavujú remastrovanú 2CD reedíciu „Substance 1987“, ktorá by mala vyjsť prostredníctvom Warner Music 10. novembra.Substance, pôvodne vydaná na legendárnom vydavateľstve Factory Records, slúžila ako pozoruhodná antológia singlov kapely až do tej doby, prezentovaná v ich 12-palcových verziách spolu s veľkorysým zahrnutím ich príslušných B-strán na CD +novo nahrané prevedenia skladieb 'Temptation' a 'Confusion'. Táto monumentálna kompilácia obsahovala aj 12-palcový singel Blue Monday, ktorý sa umiestnil na vrchole rebríčka, a obsahuje ďalšie nadčasové single ako The Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle a inauguračný singel skupiny, Ceremony. Kompilácia Substance je nielen významným míľnikom na ceste kapely, ale je považovaná aj za jeden z najlepších a najuznávanejších kompilačných albumov všetkých čias.

The year is 1851. It's a time of radical change in Britain, when industrial miracles and artistic innovations rub shoulders with political unrest, poverty and disease. It's also a turbulent time in the life of Charles Dickens, as he copes with a double bereavement and early signs that his marriage is falling apart. But this year will become the turning point in Dickens's career, as he embraces his calling as a chronicler of ordinary people's lives.
The Turning Point transports us into the foggy streets of Dickens's London, closely following the twists and turns of a year that would come to define him, and forever alter Britain's relationship with the world.

Výpravná, bohato ilustrovaná publikácia mapuje tvorbu a život slovenského výtvarníka Igora Piačku (1962), pričom dôraz je na poslednej dekáde. Knižná ilustrácia, maľba, grafika, kresba, známková tvorba – to všetko sú záujmové oblasti autora, ktorý sa svojou tvorbou presadil aj v medzinárodnom kontexte a získal viacero ocenení. „Kresba je stále skeletom mojej tvorby, ale maľba je zase telom a farba krvou v cievach,“ hovorí v rozhovore Igor Piačka, čím vystihol podstatu svojej tvorby. Tento rozhovor, ale aj ďalšie texty známych osobností čitateľom približujú ústrednú ambíciu tvorby Igora Piačku – divácky zrozumiteľne a na vysokej výtvarnej úrovni predstaviť neutíchajúcu túžbu po tom, čo nám tak často chýba v súčasnom svete: estetiku ľudskej, najmä ženskej krásy. Autorská estetika je zdôraznená vysokým remeselným majstrovstvom, ktorá je umelcovi ako absolventovi legendárneho oddelenia prof. Albína Brunovského na VŠVU v Bratislave vlastná.

A monograph devoted to the creative work of Slovak artist, illustrator, painter, printmaker and postage stamp designer Igor Piačka.
This narrative and richly illustrated book maps the art and life of Igor Piačka (born 1962), with the stress on what he has done in the last decade. Illustrating books, painting, graphic prints, drawing, and designing stamps all interest a man whose work has brought him an international reputation and several major awards.
“Drawing is still the skeleton, the framework of my art, while painting is again the body and colour of the blood flowing through the veins,” captures Piačka in an interview the essence of his work. This conversation, and also other texts of well-known personalities in Slovakia’s art scene, provide readers with a closer look at the central ambition behind his art, presenting in a friendly and comprehendible way and yet at a high artistic level an unrelenting desire for what is so often lacking in the contemporary world – the aesthetics of human and especially feminine beauty. They are embodied in his own craftsmanship, developed in the crucible of Prof Albín Brunovský’s legendary department at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, from where Piačka graduated.
The monograph has the potential to appeal to those who enjoy beauty in art and additionally anybody that admires the fine art produced in Slovakia and from Igor Piačka.
