Love of My Life: The Life and Loves of Freddie Mercury
If you are one of the many millions who watched the Oscar-winning film Bohemian Rhapsody you may suppose that Mary Austin was the love of Freddie Mercury's life, the woman who he could never quite let go of. The truth is more complicated.
Respected biographer and music journalist, Lesley-Ann Jones explores Freddie's romantic encounters - from his boarding school years in Panchgani, India to his final days spent bed-ridden at his sumptuous Kensington home. Here the author reveals why not a single one of his lovers ever really perfected the art of being his life partner.
Love of My Life charts Freddie's many obsessions from Mary Austin, Barbara Valentin and final live-in lover Jim Hutton. From a string of male love interests to his chaste passion for Spanish soprano Montserrat Caballe; from fellow rock stars Dave Clark, Elton John and his own co-band members in Queen, to 'cats and curios': his fascination for felines and his relentless extravagant shopping and collecting; from favourite cities around the world - New York, Montreux and Munich, in which he purchased lavish homes - to the 'food of love' - his music, and his voracious addiction to sex. Which of these was the real love of Freddie Mercury's life?
Based on personal interviews and encounters the author tells of Freddie Mercury's lesser known loves in order to paint a comprehensive picture of the legendary musician.
Published on the 30th anniversary of his death, and what would have been Freddie Mercury's 75th year.

Caps Lock: How Capitalism Took Hold of Graphic Design, and How to Escape from It
On design’s complicity in systems of oppression: critique and exit strategies from the author of The Politics of Design
Our current economic system could not exist without the number systems, coins, banknotes, documents, advertisements, interfaces, typefaces and information graphics that graphic designers have helped to create. Even speculative design and social design play their part in fueling the economic system. Capitalism has brought tremendous wealth, but it has not done so evenly. Extreme income inequality and environmental destruction is the price future generations have to pay for unbridled economic growth. The question is whether ethical graphic design is even possible under such conditions.
CAPS LOCK uses clear language and visual examples to show how graphic design and capitalism are inextricably linked. By sharing examples of radical design practices that challenge the supremacy of the market, it hopes to inspire a different kind of graphic design.
Ruben Pater (born 1977) was trained as a graphic designer and works in journalism, activism, education and graphic design under the name Untold Stories. His work has received several international prizes and he has participated in many exhibitions worldwide. His first book, The Politics of Design (2016), has been an inspirational sourcebook for design students, artists and visual communicators in many different places and contexts; Eye on Design wrote: "It’s the kind of literature that should be handed out to all students on their first days at art school, along with all the Albers, Berger, Benjamin and Sontag that form the backbone of the design curriculum?an up-to-date assessment of the landscape through which all modern visual practitioners must navigate."

Kóbor csillag
Jack London az aljas kisszerűségnek kiszolgáltatott sors és a történelem, az emberi lét gazdagságát uraló szellem kettősségét írja meg 1915-ös fantasztikus regényében. Főhőse, Darell Standing ketrecbezárt fenevad az Államok legkegyetlenebb börtönének magáncellájában. Egykor a tudományos elit tagja volt, most azonban egy kényszerzubbony kíméletlen abroncsában fuldokló, kivégzésre ítélt rab, aki korábbi életeiben, alakmásaiban "támad föl".
"Azt hiszik, meg tudják fojtani, el tudják vágni halhatatlan életemet, szellemtelen és otromba ötletükkel: kötéllel és bitóval. Holott én tovább vándorolok csupán, és kóborolni fogok még számlálatlan századokon át, ezen a csodálatosan szép Földön. Csak az alkalom változik, mindössze; leszek herceg és paraszt, csiszolteszű és kerge, (...) tengerjáró bátor hajós és gyáva orgyilkos."
A Kossuth Kiadó 15 kötetben jelenteti meg az amerikai író életművének legjavát, megtoldva a sorozatot Irving Stone káprázatos Jack London-életrajzával.

Frank Sinatra Has a Cold
"Sinatra with a cold is Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel-only worse. For the common cold robs Sinatra of that uninsurable jewel, his voice, cutting into the core of his confidence." - Gay Talese
In the winter of 1965, writer Gay Talese set out for Los Angeles with an assignment from Esquire to write a major profile on Frank Sinatra. When he arrived, he found the singer and his vigilant entourage on the defensive: Sinatra was under the weather, not available, and not willing to be interviewed.
Undeterred, Talese stayed, believing Sinatra might recover and reconsider, and used the meantime to observe the star and to interview his friends, associates, family members, and hangers-on. Sinatra never did grant the one-on-one, but Talese's tenacity paid off: his profile Frank Sinatra Has a Cold went down in history as a tour de force of literary nonfiction and the advent of the New Journalism.
In this illustrated edition, Frank Sinatra Has a Cold is published with an introduction by Talese, reproductions of his manuscript pages, and correspondence. Interwoven are photographs from the legendary lens of Phil Stern, the only photographer granted access to Sinatra over four decades, as well as from top photojournalists of the '60s, including John Bryson, John Dominis, and Terry O'Neill. The photographs complement Talese's character study, painting an incisive portrait of Sinatra in the recording studio, on location, out on the town, and with the eponymous cold, which reveals as much about a singular star persona as it does about the Hollywood machine.

Szükség
A fájdalmasan jóképű Colton Donavan számára kihívást jelentek, mert olyan világban él, amelyben mindig pontosan azt kapja, amit akar. Ő a vakmerő férfi, aki mindig az irányíthatóság és irányíthatatlanság közötti szűk mezsgyén jár, akár a pályán dönget, akár azon kívül. Minden nő őt akarja - én vagyok a szabályt erősítő kivétel. Úgy robbant be az életembe, mint egy tornádó: felemészt minden kontrollt, feszegeti a sebezhetőségem korlátait, és kérlelhetetlenül behatol a sebzett szívem köré font védőháló mögé, hogy széthasítsa azt a világot, amit nagy fegyelemmel építettem fel. Mindketten vágyunk az irányításra. De ha világaink összecsapnak, elég lesz-e a tagadhatatlan szexuális vonzalom, hogy összekössön minket, vagy a ki nem mondott titkok és a konok csaták végül arra késztetnek, hogy elváljanak útjaink?

Fresh Hell
"I just loved it. Lethally funny and so clever." (Jilly Cooper). "I Adored it. It's the most fun I've had with a book in a long time, and I love how she writes - so many dazzling sentences and phrases." (Marian Keyes). Debt, double-basements, dastardly bankers...and Divorce? 'Hell is other people' and journalist Mimi Fleming is fast realizing on her return to Notting Hill that there is no greater hell than the W11 neighbours with whom she shares an exclusive communal garden. Since she's been away, all her friends have become - impossibly - even richer, thinner, and Younger. They're busy not just turning back the clock but also their homes into palatial iceberg houses - with basement swimming pools. But Mimi's troubles are just beginning. There's the compromising and risky mission she'd undertaking to re-launch her so-called journalism career (plus an embarrassing case of mistaken identity thanks to Google). Then there's her children who will only communicate via WhatsApp. And worst of all, Mimi's fallen for someone, and it's certainly not her husband Ralph. Ralph and Mimi have already been to Notting Hell and back. But is this the end or the beginning of something new?

Ordinary Heroes
From the bestselling author of Presumed Innocent comes Ordinary Heroes, Scott Turow's Second World War story of family and bravery.
All parents keep secrets from their children. My father, it seemed, kept more than most . . .
Whilst mourning the death of his father, journalist Stewart Dubin decides to research the life of a man he had always respected, always admired, but possibly never quite knew . . .
As a young, idealistic lawyer during the last terrible months of the Second World War, David Dubin was sent to the European Front - ostensibly to bring charges against a brave American hero, Robert Martin, who had suddenly, inexplicably, gone local and stopped following orders. Martin has become a liability and the authorities want him neutralized.
But as Dubin learns more about Martin and the demons possessing him, he finds himself falling in love with Martin's enigmatic ex-mistress - a dangerous woman of incredible courage. And someone who will do anything to protect her comrade-in-arms . . .
Stewart discovers a journal written by his father - and learns of his incredible courage in the face of battle, reads first-hand of the shattering moral consequences for those caught in the chaos of war and, finally, the secret he had died protecting . . .

Orgazmuspontok
"Szex United. Ez a mi kedvenc csapatunk neve. Ennek a hatalmas szurkolótábornak vagyunk mi a tagjai, ha kell, minden nap és minden éjjel ennek a rajongásnak a jegyében élünk és cselekszünk. Bármikor készen állunk a kalandra, tabuk és gátlások nélkül."
Szepesi Nikolett első regényében a főhős veszi át az önéletrajzi kötetben megismert úszónő szerepét. Pikánsabbnál pikánsabb élethelyzetekbe kerül: Swinger klubba látogat, orosz milliárdost kényeztet, újságírót aláz meg, ismeretlen fiúkkal és lányokkal bújik össze. Vicces és drámai jelenetek főszereplője lesz, miközben találkozik a pesti éjszaka nélkülözhetetlen kellékeivel - pénz, kábítószer, bűnözés.
Az "Orgazmuspontok" a heteken át a toplistákat vezető "Én, a szexmániás" című könyv hangulatát idézi, a szerző hasonló stílusban, ismét megbotránkoztató nyelvezettel ír a nyári szexhadjáratról.

There are a few things you need to know about Joel Golby. Both his parents are dead. His dad was an alcoholic. He himself has a complicated relationship with alcohol. He once went to karaoke three times in five days. He will always beat you at Monopoly, and he will always cheat.

In his first book, Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant Joel writes about important stuff (death, alcohol, loss, friendship) and unimportant stuff (Saudi Arabian Camel Pageants, a watertight ranking of the Rocky films, Monopoly), always with the soft punch of a lesson tucked within.
Golby's sharp, evocative prose thrives on reality and honesty that is gut-wrenchingly close to the bone, and laced with a copious dose of dark humour. Who is this book for? It is for everyone, but mainly people who are as lost and confused as Joel and just want to have a good laugh about it.

The Dead Are Arising
A landmark biography of one of the twentieth century's most compelling figures, rewriting much of the known narrative.
Les Payne, the renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist, embarked in 1990 on a nearly thirty-year-long quest to interview anyone he could find who had actually known Malcolm X - including siblings, classmates, friends, cellmates, FBI moles and cops, and political leaders around the world. His goal was ambitious: to transform what would become hundreds of hours of interviews into a portrait that would separate fact from fiction.
The result is this magisterial work that conjures a never-before-seen world of its protagonist, whose title is inspired by a phrase Malcolm X used when he saw his followers stir with purpose to overcome the obstacles of racism. Setting his life not only within the political struggles of his day but also against the larger backdrop of American history, this remarkable masterpiece traces his path from street criminal to devoted moralist and revolutionary.
An author who saw Malcolm X speak and could not stand the phrase 'we may never know', Payne writes cinematically from start to finish and delivers extraordinary revelations - from a hair-raising scene of Malcolm's clandestine meeting with the KKK, to a minute-by-minute account of his murder in Harlem in 1965, in which he makes the case for the complicity of the American government.
Introduced by Payne's daughter and primary researcher, Tamara Payne, who, following her father's death, heroically completed the biography, The Dead Are Arising is a penetrating and riveting work that affirms the centrality of Malcolm X to the African American freedom struggle and the story of the twentieth century.
