Power, People and Profits
From Nobel Prize-winning economist and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, this account of the dangers of free market fundamentalism reveals what has gone so wrong, but also shows us a way out. We all have the sense that our economy tilts toward big business, but as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains in People, Power and Profits, a few corporations have come to dominate entire sectors, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth.
This is how the financial industry has managed to write its own regulations, tech companies have accumulated reams of personal data with little oversight, and government has negotiated trade deals that fail to represent the best interests of workers. Too many have made their wealth through exploitation of others rather than through wealth creation. If something isn't done, new technologies may make matters worse, increasing inequality and unemployment.
Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of economic prosperity and democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless.
In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for people and not the other way around. If enough rally behind this agenda for change, we can create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity.
Stiglitz shows how a decent middle-class life can once again be attainable by all.
Az én francia családom - Emlékek szerelemről, szeretetről, életrő és faux pas-ról
Vegyünk egy francia férfit két kamaszkorú gyerekkel, adjunk hozzá egy amerikai lányt, rázzuk jól össze, és voila! Az eredmény egy francia-amerikai család, amelyet a szeretet, a kommunikáció és a jó étel tart össze.
Samantha alig várja, hogy Franciaországban új életet kezdjen újdonsült francia férjével és annak két gyerekével. Ám alighogy landol francia földön, szembesül azzal, hogy az élet az új hazában messze nem olyan rózsás, mint ahogy azt korábban elképzelte. Meg kell küzdenie a francia bürokráciával, a kamaszodó gyerekekkel, a magánnyal, a honvággyal, a nyelvi és kulturális botlásokkal.
Samantha nem adja fel, hisz a francia álomban, amely egy szép napon valóra is válik, és hősnőnk megtanulja, hogyan lehet boldog választott hazájában.
A számos ínycsiklandó francia receptet is felsorakoztató, szívet melengető történet ott kezdődik, ahol a Hét levél Párizsból véget ért.
Samantha Vérant imád utazni, imádja a francia ételeket és borokat, elkötelezett, de nem szigorúan hagyománykövető francia chef. Délnyugat-Franciaországban él új francia családjával, ahol kedvére hódolhat minden szenvedélyének.

Stolen Heir
A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both.
Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.
Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world, where she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years.
Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful and manipulative. He's on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren's help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she had left behind.
The spellbinding new fantasy from the Queen of Faerie Holly Black, author of the Folk of the Air series.
Skipping Christmas (Film Tie-In)
John Grisham has turned a satirical eye on the overblown ritual of the festive season, and the result is Skipping Christmas, a modest but funny novel about the tyranny of December 25. Grisham's story revolves around a typical middle-aged American couple, Luther and Nora Krank. On the first Sunday after Thanksgiving they wave their daughter Blair off to Peru to work for the Peace Corps, and suddenly realise that for the first time in her young and sheltered life Blair would spend Christmas away from home".

Bookshops & Bonedust
Set twenty years before the events of Legends & Lattes, Bookshops & Bonedust is a standalone cosy fantasy by BookTok sensation Travis Baldree about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way.
First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.
Viv’s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.
Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together...

"A könyv segítségével betekintést nyerhetnek abba a világba, amelynek ma Magyarországon nagyon sok ellensége akad, de remélem, ha elolvassák ezeket a sorokat, rájönnek majd: nem is olyan könnyű az az út, amelyet a sportolóknak kell végigjárniuk, körülbelül hat éves koruktól. A sok lemondás, a gyerekkor hiánya, a kényszer, hogy 30 éves koráig egzisztenciát kell teremteni, mind befolyásolják és alakítják a sportolók életét, személyiségét. Persze nem Magyarországon lennénk, ha könyvemben csak pozitív és sikeres eseteket említhetnék..."

Lacná kniha An American Dream (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) (-50%)
A key backlist title from the highly acclaimed author of The Naked and the Dead and The Fight". War hero, ex-Congressman, a professor of 'popular but somewhat notorious reputation', television personality and husband of the rich and beautiful Deborah ('a girl who would have been bored by a diamond as big as the Ritz'), Stephen Rojack lived the "American Dream". But his enviable life concealed a strange tension, the constant 'itch to jump', and when one day he finally cracks and strangles his luscious wife, he unleashes a personality of undreamt-of ferocity. A wanted murderer, Rojack is suddenly catapulted into an alien world of gangsters, crumbling tenements and downtown bars. Here, he meets Cherry, a small-time singer who ekes out her living in sleazy nightclubs, waiting for a break. She's the woman Rojack falls for, dangerously, desperately, tragically! A powerful exploration of one man's quest for depravity, "An American Dream" shocked the USA on first publication in 1965 with its graphic depictions of sex and violence. One of the key works of twentieth-century American literature, the novel's white-hot prose makes it, for many, Mailer's finest achievement."

Two Murders in my Double Life
In Josef Ĺ kvoreckĂ˝'s first novel written in English, the narrator lives in two radically dissimilar worlds: the exile world of the post-Communist Czech Republic where old feuds, treacherous betrayals, and friendships persevere, and the comfortable, albeit bland world of middle-class Canada. Murder intrudes upon both world. One features a young female sleuth, a college beauty queen, jealousy in the world of academia, and a neat conclusion. The other is a tragedy caused by evil social forces and philosophies, in which a web of lies insidiously entangles Sidonia, the narrator's wife. A brilliantly stylish tour de force in which the bright, sarcastic comedy of one tale sharply contrasts with the dark, elegiac bitterness of the other, Two Murders in My Double Life confirms Ĺ kvoreckĂ˝'s reputation as a versatile and engaging writer.
