The Shadow Sister
Following on from the bestselling The Seven Sisters and The Storm Sister, The Shadow Sister is the third book in Lucinda Riley's spellbinding series, loosely based on the mythology of the Seven Sisters star cluster.
Star D'Apliese is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father - the elusive billionaire, named Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted by him from the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to their true heritage, but Star - the most enigmatic of the sisters - is hesitant to step out of the safety of the close relationship she shares with her sister CeCe. In desperation, she decides to follow the first clue she has been left, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world . . .
A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry. She is happy and secure in her home in the Lake District, living close to her idol, Beatrix Potter, when machinations outside of her control lead her to London, and the home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious players, Alice Keppel. Flora is pulled between passionate love and duty to her family, but finds herself a pawn in a game - the rules of which are only known to others, until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life . . .
As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love.

OWC Heracles and Other Plays
Alcestis * Heracles * Children of Heracles * Cyclops Euripides wrote about timeless themes, of friendship and enmity, hope and despair, duty and betrayal. The first three plays in this volume are filled with violence or its threat, while the fourth, Cyclops, is our only surviving example of a genuine satyr play, with all the crude and slapstick humour that characterized the genre. There is death in Alcestis, which explores the marital relationship of Alcestis and Admetus with pathos and grim humour, but whose status as tragedy is subverted by a happy ending. The blood-soaked Heracles portrays deep emotional pain and undeserved suffering; its demand for a more humanistic ethics in the face of divine indifference and callousness makes it one of Euripides' more popular and profound plays. Children of Heracles is a rich and complex work, famous for its dialogues and monologues, in which the effects of war on refugees and the consequences of sheltering them are movingly explored. In Cyclops Euripides takes the familiar story of Odysseus' escape from the Cyclops Polyphemus and turns it to hilarious comic effect. Euripides' other plays are all available in Oxford World's Classics.

Jazz
Since the 1950s, Herman Leonard's photographs of jazz musicians have been crucial in shaping the image of the music and the world in which it was created. Leonard's friendships with jazz greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis gave him rare access to the innovators who made modern jazz and the places in which they made it. Leonard took his camera into the smoky clubs and after-hours sessions, to backstage parties and musicians' apartments, to build an incomparable visual record of one of the twentieth century's most significant art forms. His luminous images of Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, and many others, both in performance and "off duty," are at once supreme examples of the photographer's art and a unique record of a musical revolution. For this definitive collection of his work, Leonard has retrieved scores of previously unseen photographs, published here for the first time, alongside his most famous and widely recognized images. Accompanied by an essay exploring the stories behind the pictures, and an interview with Leonard revealing his techniques, "Jazz" captures and preserves the glory days of the music that has been called "the sound of surprise."

Lekce jsou řazeny do tematických celků, které jsou vzájemně propojeny postavami pěti dětí. Každá lekce je ukončena reáliemi, aby děti měly možnost blíže seznámit s německy mluvícími zeměmi. Gramatika postupuje po malých krocích. A protože tyto děti potřebují grafickou oporu, je učebnice bohatě ilustrována. Slovní zásoba činí asi 200 slov. Učebnice je zaměřena na komunikativní dovednosti, což podporuje řada her a komunikativních cvičení. Ale cílem výuky je rovněž čtení a psaní. K tomuto cíli je zaměřeno množství doplňovacích cvičení, doplňování a přiřazování k obrázkům, otázky apod. Učebnice slouží tedy současně jako pracovní sešit a je doplněna podrobnou metodikou.

Viharlovasok II. - A vér törvénye
Néhány év telik el a 907-es győztes háború után, amit a mai Pozsony térségében, a Duna két oldalán vívott meg a magyar törzsszövetség a frank Gyermek Lajos király és bajor szövetségese ellenében. A vesztes bármennyire is igyekszik elhallgatni a gyászos véget, s azt, hogy százezres hadukat az alig harmincötezer fős magyar könnyűlovasság megsemmisítette, a magyarok váratlan haditettének híre futótűzként terjed a Frank Birodalomtól Bizáncig.
A magyar fegyver továbbra is kelendő nyugaton, és nincs olyan esztendő, amikor ne indulna kisebb-nagyobb kontingens csatába, portyákra vagy felderítésre. A magyar könnyűlovasok immáron az Atlanti-óceánig jutnak, s a törzsszövetség belebonyolódik a nyugati császárok és királyok közötti torzsalkodásokba.
A regény valós eseményekre, hiteles adatokra alapozva Táltosfia felnőtt gyermekein keresztül mutatja be, mi történhetett a pozsonyi csatát követő tizenöt esztendőben a magyar törzsszövetségben és a nemzetközi politikában.

Schinkel
A duty to beauty: Building landmarks for Berlin and beyondWith an eye for detail as much as expanse, Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 1841) made his name as an architect and urban planner, a painter, and as a designer of both furniture and stage sets. His work was so admired by King Frederick William III that Schinkel acted as state architect of Prussia for nearly his entire career, creating major landmarks in Berlin, including the National Theatre and the Altes Museum.Much of Schinkel s most famous work adopted Neo-Classical aesthetics, drawing upon Ancient Greek paradigms rather than those of Imperial Rome. He would subsequently turn to a Neo-Gothic style, as seen in the elegant windows and soaring nave of Berlin s Friedrichswerder Church. Later, Schinkel would adopt an unusually streamlined, red brick facade in the Academy of Architecture, now considered a forerunner of modern architecture.Considered a genius by contemporaries, Schinkel now gets the TASCHEN treatment with this richly illustrated introduction to his expansive uvre and commitment to beautiful form and function.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Architecture series features: an introduction to the life and work of the architect the major works in chronological order information about the clients, architectural preconditions as well as construction problems and resolutions a list of all the selected works and a map indicating the locations of the best and most famous buildings approximately 120 illustrations (photographs, sketches, drafts and plans)"

A Duna
A Duna című színes fotóalbum a folyás irányában haladva a forrástól a deltáig, a Fekete-erdőtől a Fekete-tengerig kilenc fejezetre osztva mesél a víz körül állandóan változó tájról, emberről és történelemről. Miért olyan izgalmas ez a folyó, hogy ismét könyvet kell készíteni róla? Mert izgalmas, az nem vitás. Ezt az is bizonyítja, hogy Dunát lehet rekeszteni a róla szóló irodalommal. Miért más ez mégis? E könyv fejezetei, a fejezetek elé írt sodró lendületű bevezetők, a 400 felvétel és a hozzájuk csatlakozó képaláírások együtt alkotnak egy nagy egészet.
Míg a képek szabályos rendben követik a Duna folyását, az esszé stílusban írt irodalmi bevezetők segítségével időben és térben ugrálva, a görög Ister és a latin Dnubius, a nagy múltú víz-fejedelem múltjáról és jelenéről kapunk izgalmas, élményszerű képet.

Kurt Cobain: Naplók
A gitárszólókon élvezkedő, nyálas metálból ő csinált megint felforgató, bomlasztó, szülőriasztó rockzenét, a "minél szarabbul szól, annál jobb" punkból vad, de melodikus MTV-slágereket. Azt hitte, kimegy a divatból a rasszizmus, a szexizmus, a bunkóság, de csak Jon Bon Jovi ment ki a divatból, ő is csak egy időre.
Persze szétesett, mint mindenki, aki túl tehetséges, túl korszakos, túl érzékeny, túl tudatos, túl zavart, túl sokat lövi magát, túlságosan hisz abban, hogy a rendszer belülről szétrohasztható. Öngyilkos lett, az özvegy arra kérte a rajongókat, kórusban kiáltsák a búcsúztatóján: "Seggfej! Seggfej!".
Kurt Cobain naplói zavarbaejtőek, megrázóak, megvilágító erejűek, helyenként mulatságosak, máshol szívszorítóak, az elképzelhető legközelebb engednek a múlt század popkultúrájának utolsó meghatározó alakjához. Túl a sztorikon, túl a szörnyülködésen.

Blood Rose Rebellion Volume 1
"A magical tale unlike anything you've read before." —Bustle.com "[A] richly imagined 19th-century historical fantasy." —EW.com, A- The thrilling first book in a YA fantasy trilogy for fans of Red Queen. In a world where social prestige derives from a trifecta of blood, money, and magic, one girl has the ability to break the spell that holds the social order in place. Sixteen-year-old Anna Arden is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary. Her life might well be over. In Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t seem to stop herself from breaking spells. As rebellion spreads across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romani, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever. “A fast-paced historical fantasy full of magic, romance, and adventure!”—JESSICA DAY GEORGE, New York Times bestselling author of Silver in the Blood
