The Admirable Crichton
A moment before the curtain rises, the Hon. Ernest Woolley drives up to the door of Loam House in Mayfair. There is a happy smile on his pleasant, insignificant face, and this presumably means that he is thinking of himself. He is too busy over nothing, this man about town, to be always thinking of himself, but, on the other hand, he almost never thinks of any other person. Probably Ernest's great moment is when he wakes of a morning and realises that he really is Ernest, for we must all wish to be that which is our ideal. We can conceive him springing out of bed light-heartedly and waiting for his man to do the rest. He is dressed in excellent taste, with just the little bit more which shows that he is not without a sense of humour: the dandiacal are often saved by carrying a smile at the whole thing in their spats, let us say. Ernest left Cambridge the other day, a member of The Athenaeum (which he would be sorry to have you confound with a club in London of the same name). He is a bachelor, but not of arts, no mean epigrammatist (as you shall see), and a favourite of the ladies. He is almost a celebrity in restaurants, where he dines frequently, returning to sup; and during this last year he has probably paid as much in them for the privilege of handing his hat to an attendant as the rent of a working-man's flat. He complains brightly that he is hard up, and that if somebody or other at Westminster does not look out the country will go to the dogs. He is no fool. He has the shrewdness to float with the current because it is a labour-saving process, but he has sufficient pluck to fight, if fight he must (a brief contest, for he would soon be toppled over). He has a light nature, which would enable him to bob up cheerily in new conditions and return unaltered to the old ones. His selfishness is his most endearing quality. If he has his way he will spend his life like a cat in pushing his betters out of the soft places, and until he is old he will be fondled in the process.

Cytonic
Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary.
She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell - the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority - the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life - has started a galaxy-wide war. And Spensa has seen the weapons they plan to use to end it: the Delvers. Ancient, mysterious alien forces that can wipe out entire planetary systems in an instant.
Spensa knows that no matter how many pilots the DDF has, there is no defeating this predator.
Except that Spensa is Cytonic. She faced down a Delver and saw something eerily familiar about it. And maybe, if she's able to figure out what she is, she could be more than just another pilot in this unfolding war. She could save the galaxy. The only way she can discover what she really is, though, is to leave behind all she knows and enter the Nowhere. A place from which few ever return.
To have courage means facing fear. And this mission is terrifying.
American National Parks
Wide, breathtaking landscapes, crystal-clear, blue lakes, high, snow-covered mountain peaks, but also wild grizzlies, buffalos, mustangs, and rare animal species: this is North America. With nearly 60 national parks, the United States is preserving a living monument to the continent's pristine nature in an effort to make it accessible to everyone. This book presents the most beautiful parks in over 450 photographs. Each has its own character and individual charm. Alaska, high in the northwest of the American continent, boasts spectacular wide expanses and immense geological variety such as the highest mountain of North America, the Denali. Continuing on the northern route from west to east, the high mountain regions of the Rocky Mountains overwhelm their visitors with countless blue glacier lakes and thundering waterfalls. Yellowstone, the oldest national park, is pure magic with dazzlingly colourful thermal springs, erupting geysers, and large herds of bison. Continuing on the southern route from west to east, the striking granitoid formations of Half Dome and El Capitan in the popular Yosemite National Park are impressive sights. Death Valley fascinates with contrasts of hot salt deserts and ice-cold, snowcapped peaks.
Átkozott hazugságok és a történelem - St. Mary-krónikák 6.
Hazugságok, átkozott hazugságok és történelem
"Ne szépítsük, csináltam én már ritka nagy marhaságokat. Sokszor voltam vakmerő, de még sosem tettem tönkre ennyi embert, és sosem végeztem akkora rombolást, mint ebben az esetben."
Max nem érzi jól magát a bőrében. Amíg a kollégái a teutoburgi erdőbe indulnak, hogy megfigyeljék a rómaiak és a germánok egyik legnagyobb csatáját, ő maga kénytelen beérni azzal, hogy egy rettenetesen elhízott, undok és ordenáré királynét üldözve rohangál a westminsteri apátság körül.
Aztán a St. Mary soron következő - rendkívül sikeres - küldetése után a Thirsk régészei előkotornak a földből egy rejtélyes rendeltetésű, ősrégi kardot. A lelet az egyetem archívumába kerül, ám néhány nappal később balszerencsés, sőt tragikus események történnek az ásatás helyszínén. Egyes múltjárók és biztonságiak - igen, Markham is nyakig benne van - biztosra veszik, hogy a két dolog összefügg, és akcióba lépnek.
Max, aki sosem rajongott a szabályokért, ezúttal túl messzire megy, amiért sokan megfizetnek, többek között ő maga is: a jelek szerint soha többé nem vehet részt küldetésben. A kérdés az, hogy az adott körülmények között sikerül-e helyrehoznia a dolgokat. A kilátástalannak tűnő helyzetben őrült nagy dobás kell ahhoz, hogy minden visszatérjen a régi kerékvágásba.

Unneutral Murder
The liner on which Lee Mappin was travelling on what was to be one of his most dangerous and exciting missions slid unescorted from New York, her sides brilliantly flood-lit to display the neutral flag of Portugal. Among the passengers who crowded every cabin were several in whom Lee took more than a mild interest; the good-looking, smiling young Ronald Franklin, for instance, who said he was an American agent for Swiss watches; John Stanley, going out to the hard-pressed U.S. Legation in Lisbon, and his young wife Vera, daughter of a wealthy tobacco nabob; Kate McDonald, the smartly dressed but slightly pseudo-Scottish woman. Whatever the divers purposes which prompted their voyage to Europe their immediate activities were going to be very much the concern of Lee Mappin.

Koruna z pozlátených kostí
Ukloňte sa pred kráľovnou, inak pred ňou budete krvácať…
OBEŤ, KTORÁ PREŽILA…
Poppy nikdy ani nenapadlo, že zažije lásku, akú našla s princom Casteelom. Chce si užívať svoje šťastie, no najprv musia obaja oslobodiť svojich bratov. Plánujú nebezpečnú misiu s ďalekosiahlymi dôsledkami, o akých sa ani jednému z nich nesnívalo. Lebo Poppy je vyvolená, požehnaná. Skutočná panovníčka Atlantie. Má v sebe krv kráľa bohov. Koruna a kráľovstvo jej právom patria.
NEPRIATEĽ A BOJOVNÍK…
Poppy vždy chcela byť len paňou svojho života, nie životov druhých, ale teraz si musí vybrať, či sa vzdá dedičského práva alebo prevezme zlatú korunu a stane sa kráľovnou z tela a ohňa. No keď sa odhalia temné hriechy a krvavé tajomstvá kráľovstva, povstane dávno zabudnutá sila, z ktorej sa stane skutočná hrozba. Nezastaví sa pred ničím a všemožne sa snaží zabrániť tomu, aby koruna spočinula na Poppinej hlave.
LÁSKA A SPRIAZNENÁ DUŠA…
Najväčšie nebezpečenstvo však na Atlantiu striehne ďaleko na západe, kde má kráľovná z krvi a popola vlastné plány a už stovky rokov čaká na ich naplnenie. Poppy a Casteel musia zvážiť nemožnú cestu do Krajiny kráľov, aby zobudili kráľa bohov. Kým vychádzajú na svetlo nečakané tajomstvá a najhoršie zrady, vynárajú sa nepriatelia, ktorí ohrozujú všetko, za čo Poppy a Casteel bojujú. Zistia, ako ďaleko sú schopní zájsť pre svoj ľud — a jeden pre druhého.
A TAK SA STANE KRÁĽOVNOU…

Minden hétre kutya
Zalai Károly a több kiadást megért Minden hétre macska után most a "kutyások"-hoz szól, de könyvét azoknak is ajánljuk, akiknek még nincs négylábú barátjuk. Az 52 novella szereplői híres vagy éppen "névtelen" ebek, kiknek sorsa nemcsak egybeforrt gazdájuk sorsával, hanem tükörképét is adják jelenünknek és múltunknak egyaránt. Mindegyik kutyasors bővelkedik mulatságos, szívfacsaró vagy éppen tragikus mozzanatokban. Megismerhetjük például a hűséges Shepet, aki évekig várta elhunyt gazdáját egy vasútállomáson. Churchill fekete kutyája új megvilágításba helyezi a huszadik század egyik legkiemelkedőbb történelmi személyiségét. A kutyáknak köszönhetően betekintést nyerünk a hatszor nősült VIII. Henrik udvarába, Napóleon első felesége, Josephine hálószobájába, és ott leszünk az első világháború lövészárkaiban, sőt Adolf Hitler dolgozószobájában is. Vagy például megismerhetjük a "sztárkutyák" - Rin Tin Tin és Audrey Hepburn ölebe - nem is olyan irigylésre méltó életét. A Minden hétre kutya elolvasása után garantáltan más szemmel nézünk majd a négylábúakra, és még az is megtörténhet, hogy "mindenki kutyája" egy napon a mi kutyánk lesz...
"Sétálok az erdőben, az utcán, ülök a buszon, vonaton, és nézem őket. Jönnek velem szemben, a busz, a villamos vagy a vonat padlóján fekszenek, szunyókálnak, maguk elé merednek, rám emelik tekintetüket vagy észre sem vesznek. Én meg folyton, immáron majdnem hetven éve, figyelem őket, lesem reakcióikat, hogy mit csinálnak, hogyan szimatolnak, hogyan ismerkednek a világgal. Pár ezer éve itt vannak velünk, egyre többen, és szinte mindenütt, ahol ember él. Társunk ő, sőt az egyik legjobb barátunk, és bár igen sok tudományos cikket lehet róluk olvasni, meg hát rengeteg irodalmi alkotás is született a kutyákról, úgy érzem, csak keveset tudunk róluk. Valami hiányzik. Legalább is nekem. Ezt a hiányt próbálom most bepótolni a Minden hétre kutya című írásommal."
Arrangements in Blue
When poet Amy Key was growing up, she looked forward to a life shaped by romance, fuelled by desire, longing and the conventional markers of success that come when you share a life with another person. But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love.
Using Joni Mitchell's seminal album Blue - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, Arrangements in Blue elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself. Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.
With profound candour and intimacy, Arrangements in Blue explores the painful feelings we are usually too ashamed to discuss: loneliness, envy, grief and failure. The result is a book which inspires us to live and love more honestly.
The Last Thing He Told Me
IT WAS THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME: PROTECT HER
Before Owen Michaels disappears, he manages to smuggle a note to his new wife, Hannah: protect her. Hannah knows exactly who Owen needs her to protect - his teenage daughter, Bailey, who lost her mother tragically as a child. And who wants absolutely nothing to do with her new stepmother.
As her desperate calls to Owen go unanswered, his boss is arrested for fraud and the police start questioning her, Hannah realises that her husband isn't who he said he was. And that Bailey might hold the key to discovering Owen's true identity, and why he disappeared. Together they set out to discover the truth. But as they start putting together the pieces of Owen's past, they soon realise that their lives will never be the same again...
A beautiful and thrilling mystery, perfect for readers of Lianne Moriarty and Celeste Ng.
