Három erős nő
Marie NDiaye három felejthetetlen női portrét rajzol fel sajátos hangulatú és egyedi stílusú könyvében, amelyben olyan alapvető kérdésekre keresi a választ, hogy hol húzódik a jó és rossz, az igaz és hamis közötti határvonal, hogy mi okozza korunk egyik legnagyobb nyavalyáját, az emberek közötti kommunikációképtelenségét, és az ebből következő magányt, lelki elsivárosodást. Két világ, két kultúra között hányódó, mélyen eltemetett és elhallgatott családi titkok béklyójában vergődő hősnői méltóságukat védelmezik, önmagukat keresik - akár az életük árán is.

75 Years of Marvel
A mighty history. Building the House of Ideas. From the very first issue of pulp impresario Martin Goodman s Marvel Comics in 1939, the comic book creators of Marvel s Golden Age flipped the traditional fantasy script by placing the inhuman and the invincible into the real world. With the likes of the fiery android Human Torch, vengeful sea prince Sub-Mariner, and pip-squeak-turned-paragon Captain America, Marvel created a mythological universe grounded in a world that readers recognize as close to their own, brimming with humor and heartache. In the early 1960s, this audacious approach launched the creation of heroes who have since become household names Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the Avengers, Thor, the X-Men the list goes on. Fans still celebrate it as the Marvel Age of comics, an era populated by a pantheon of bickering heroes, misunderstood monsters, and noble villains. In celebration of Marvel s 75th anniversary, TASCHEN presents a magnum opus of the most influential comic book publisher today, with an inside look not only at its celebrated characters, but also at the "bullpen" of architects whose names are almost as familiar as the protagonists they brought to life Stan the Man Lee, Jack King Kirby, along with a roster of greats like Steve Ditko, John Romita, John Buscema, Marie Severin, and countless others. With essays by comics historian and former Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, this book delves into the heart of thousands of costumed characters who continue to fight the good fight in comics, movies, and toy aisles of the world. The XL-format book includes: More than 700 pages of near 2,000 images including vintage comic books, one-of-a-kind original art, behind-the-scenes photographs and film stills, as well as rare toys and collectibles. A four-foot accordion-fold timeline, suitable for framing! Biographies of more than 300 artists, writers, editors, and famous fans who helped shape Marvel's history

Mio blues
Hová tűnt Mio, a sorozatgyilkosnak tartott Sara Texas négyéves kisfia? – ennek kiderítése továbbra is égetően fontos Martin Benner számára, hiszen a saját gyermeke biztonsága függ a sikertől. Ám az ambiciózus ügyvédnek egyéb gondja is akad: valaki a nyakába akar varrni egy gyilkosságot, amit persze nem követett el. A férfit napról napra jobban hatalmába keríti az üldözési mánia. Ki lehet az, aki közvetlen közelről figyeli minden lépését, miközben ő maga láthatatlan marad? Martin már mindentől és mindenkitől tart, fogalma sincs, kiben bízhat. A dolgok rettentően rossz irányba haladnak, s neki fel kell tennie a kérdést: vajon képes lesz Miót is, és a saját bőrét is megmenteni, vagy választania kell a kettő között…

The Chemistry Between Us
How much control do we have over love? Much less than we like to think. All that mystery, all that poetry, all those complex behaviors sur-rounding human bonding leading to the most life-changing decisions we'll ever make, are unconsciously driven by a few molecules in our brains. How does love begin? How can two strangers come to the conclusion that it would not only be pleasant to share their lives, but that they "must "share them? How can a man say he loves his wife, yet still cheat on her? Why do others stay in relationships even after the ro-mance fades? How is it possible to fall in love with the "wrong" person? How do people come to have a "type"? Physical attraction, jealousy, infidelity, mother-infant bonding--all the behaviors that so often leave us befuddled--are now being teased out of the fog of mystery thanks to today's social neuroscience. Larry Young, one of the world's leading experts in the field, and journalist Brian Alexander explain how those findings apply to you. Drawing on real human stories and research from labs around the world, "The Chemistry Between Us "is a bold attempt to create a "grand unified theory" of love. Some of the mind-blowing insights include: Love can get such a grip on us because it is, literally, an addiction.To a woman falling in love, a man is like her baby.Why it's false to say society makes gender, and how it's possible to have the body of one gender and the brain of another.Why some people are more likely to cheat than others.Why we sometimes truly can't resist temptation. Young and Alexander place their revelations into historical, political, and social contexts. In the pro-cess, they touch on everything from gay marriage to why single-mother households might not be good for society. "The Chemistry Between Us "offers powerful in-sights into love, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and family life that will prove to be enlightening, contro-versial, and thought provoking.

Joséphine
Trois-Ilets, egy kis falu Martinique szigetén, 1778-ban. A híres karibi jósnő, Eliama kunyhójába két fiatal lány lép be. A jövőjükre kíváncsiak. A látogatók egyikét jól ismeri a jósnő. Marie-Rose Tascher de la Pagerie, a közeli cukornádültetvény urának tizenöt éves leánya ... Folytatás ›› ő. Eliama hosszan fürkészi a felé nyújtott reszkető tenyeret, aztán felemeli a tekintetét, és csodálattal néz a fiatal lányra. - Nemsokára férjhez mész -mondja halkan-, ez a frigy nem lesz boldog, megözvegyülsz, és akkor, akkor több leszel, mint egy királyné!
A jósnő igazat mondott. Marie-Rose egy boldogtalan házasság után valóban többre vitte, magasabbra jutott még egy királynénál is. Császárné lett belőle, a franciák első császárnéja, Joséphine néven. A bájos, szeretetre méltó, eszes kreol nő 1796-ban ment feleségül Napóleon Bonaparte, illetve akkor még Napóleon Buonaparte tábornokhoz, akinek ha nem is mindig hű, de ügyes és hatékony segítőtársa volt a hatalomhoz vezető úton. S bár Napóleon 1809-ben elvált tőle, mert Joséphine nem ajándékozhatta meg a várva várt trónörökössel, a franciák császára első hitvesére emlékezve őszintén, szívéből mondta: -Páratlan Joséphine! Minden nő közül őt szerettem a legjobban.
Erről a különleges képességű és sorsú, népek-nemzetek történelmét formáló-befolyásoló szépasszonyról szól a kiváló francia történész, André Castelot tudományos igényű, ám vérbeli szépíróhoz méltóan érzékletes, színes, már-már mesébe illő fordulatokban, intimitásokban s eleddig ismeretlen részletekben bővelkedő monográfiája.

Rolling Stones 50
On Thursday 12 July 1962 the Rolling Stones went on stage at the Marquee Club in London’s Oxford Street. In the intervening fifty years the Stones have performed live in front of more people than any band … ever. They’ve played the smallest blues clubs and some of the biggest stadium tours of all time. They’ve had No.1 singles and albums in every country that has a popular music chart and have helped define popular culture. A phenomenal half-century later, they now look back at their astounding career.
Curated, introduced and narrated by the band themselves, 'The Rolling Stones 50' is the only officially authorized book to celebrate this milestone. With privileged access to a wealth of unseen and rare material, it is packed with superb reportage photography, contact sheets, negative strips, outtakes and so much more, from every period in the band’s history.
With more than 1,000 illustrations, it also features some of the most rare and interesting Stones memorabilia in existence: international posters, draft record cover art, bubblegum cards, jigsaws and other previously unpublished treasures specially photographed for this volume.
Additional contributions by photography legends Gered Mankowitz, Jean-Marie Périer, Dezo Hoffmann, Michael Cooper, Terry O’Neill, Bent Rej, Philip Townsend and many others make this the definitive book to celebrate fifty years of the Rolling Stones.
From Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie – here is one spectacular thank you to their fans all over the world.
'I’ve loved it all, I can’t define why, I couldn’t pick it to bits. Charlie and I were talking about it the other day, the variety of pictures in this book, the places and things you’d forgotten.'
'A lot of the time you never realised there was a camera around. You just got used to it. It’s unique. you know, that you can pick up a book and see your whole life before you. I’m really digging it. I’m hoping we can still do enough to make another one.'Keith Richards in The Daily Mirror

Olive Kitteridge
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE - NOW AN HBO MINISERIES At times stern, at other times patient, at times perceptive, at other times in sad denial, Olive Kitteridge, a retired schoolteacher, deplores the changes in her little town of Crosby, Maine, and in the world at large, but she doesn't always recognize the changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance; a former student who has lost the will to live; Olive's own adult child, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities; and her husband, Henry, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and a curse. As the townspeople grapple with their problems, mild and dire, Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life-sometimes painfully, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers profound insights into the human condition-its conflicts, its tragedies and joys, and the endurance it requires. Praise for "Olive Kitteridge" "Perceptive, deeply empathetic . . . Olive is the axis around which these thirteen complex, relentlessly human narratives spin themselves into Elizabeth Strout's unforgettable novel in stories." "-O: The Oprah Magazine " "Fiction lovers, remember this name: "Olive Kitteridge." . . . You'll never forget her. . . . [Elizabeth Strout] constructs her stories with rich irony and moments of genuine surprise and intense emotion. . . . Glorious, powerful stuff." "-USA Today" "Funny, wicked and remorseful, Mrs. Kitteridge is a compelling life force, a red-blooded original. When she's not onstage, we look forward to her return. The book is a page-turner because of her." -"San Francisco Chronicle" ""Olive Kitteridge" still lingers in memory like a treasured photograph." "-Seattle Post-Intelligencer" "Rarely does a story collection pack such a gutsy emotional punch." "-Entertainment Weekly" "Strout animates the ordinary with astonishing force. . . . [She] makes us experience not only the terrors of change but also the terrifying hope that change can bring: she plunges us into these churning waters and we come up gasping for air." "-The New Yorker"

Travels with Charley in Search of America
A collectible 50th anniversary deluxe edition featuring an updated introduction by Jay Parini and first edition cover art and illustrated maps of Steinbeck s route by Don Freeman In September 1960, John Steinbeck embarked on a journey across America. He felt that he might have lost touch with the country, with its speech, the smell of its grass and trees, its color and quality of light, the pulse of its people. To reassure himself, he set out on a voyage of rediscovery of the American identity, accompanied by a distinguished French poodle named Charley; and riding in a three-quarter-ton pickup truck named Rocinante. His course took him through almost forty states: northward from Long Island to Maine; through the Midwest to Chicago; onward by way of Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana (with which he fell in love), and Idaho to Seattle, south to San Francisco and his birthplace, Salinas; eastward through the Mojave, New Mexico, Arizona, to the vast hospitality of Texas, to New Orleans and a shocking drama of desegregation; finally, on the last leg, through Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey to New York.
