The Little Liar
A moving new novel from the beloved author of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven
When the Nazis invade Salonika, Greece, eleven-year-old Nico Crispi is offered a chance to save his family. He is instructed to convince his fellow Jewish residents to board trains heading towards the east, where they are promised jobs and safety. He dutifully goes to the station platform every day and reassures the passengers that the journey is safe. Only after it is too late does Nico discover that the people he loved would never return.
In The Little Liar, Nico's story is interweaved with other individuals impacted by the occupation: his brother Sebastian, their schoolmate Fanni and the Nazi officer who radically changed their lives. As the decades pass, the consequences of what they endured come to light.
Exploring honesty, survival, revenge and devotion, The Little Liar is a timeless story about the harm we inflict with our deceits, and the power of love to redeem us.
Číňan
Jednoho chladného lednového dne je v ospalé vesnici na severu Švédska nalezena oběť brutální vraždy. Celá víska je hrozivě klidná a opuštěná. A tiché domky vzápětí vydají své tajemství: zločin, jaký dějiny švédské kriminalistiky nepamatují.
Když se o masakru dočte soudkyně Birgitta Roslinová, uvědomí si, že ji s místem pojí rodinná vazba, a rozhodne se pátrat na vlastní pěst. Jejími jedinými vodítky jsou přitom deník z devatenáctého století a červená stužka nalezená v nedalekém lese.
Birgitta postupně odkrývá příběh pomsty, který sahá víc než sto let do minulosti a propojuje Čínu a Ameriku devatenáctého století s moderním Švédskem a Pekingem. Vyprávění zavede čtenáře do zapadlých končin severního Švédska, do nejvyšších pater čínské politiky i do slumů v dnešním Mosambiku. Šokující rozuzlení se chystá v čínské čtvrti v Londýně.
Číňan je strhující a vysoce aktuální politický thriller. Zároveň však neslevuje z důmyslně propracované detektivní zápletky. Henning Mankell tímto románem potvrzuje pozici jednoho z nejslavnějších severských autorů detektivek, kterou si drží už od devadesátých let.
Henning Mankell (1948) se narodil ve Stockholmu a vyrostl na různých místech ve Švédsku. Na začátku devadesátých let vytvořil postavu neohroženého inspektora Wallandera, o němž dosud napsal jedenáct románů. Tato série se těší velké čtenářské oblibě po celé Evropě a obdržela mnoho žánrových cen. Mankell se nicméně neomezuje jen na jednoho vyšetřovatele: v románu Číňan svěřil pátrání bezděčné hrdince Birgittě Roslinové. Mankell působí jako divadelní režisér a manažer jak ve Švédsku, tak v Mosambiku, kde vede divadelní soubor Avenida a píše stranou evropského ruchu. Jak sám říká, žije jednou nohou ve sněhu, druhou v písku. Mankellovou manželkou je Eva Bergmanová, dcera režiséra Ingmara Bergmana.

Worthy
A gripping, painfully honest, and ultimately inspirational memoir from global superstar and creator of the Red Table Talk series Jada Pinkett Smith.
In a media driven landscape that crafts narratives for our celebrities, Smith recounts her story in an intimate conversation with readers. Along the way, she explores her path to accepting her power as a woman, and her discovery that a strong sense of self is every woman’s right and saving grace.
An impactful and rare memoir that engages and educates, Worthy is a courageous love song to self, to family, to life, and to the world.
From an unconventional upbringing in Baltimore, to an unconventional marriage to one of the most famous men in the world, adhering to the status quo has never been a familiar road for Jada Pinkett Smith. In Worthy, Smith strips herself of all the labels and stories crafted by others, and reclaims her narrative with radical self-love. Worthy teaches us who Jada is, and how to embrace our most authentic loveable souls.

Művész a műben
"Amit a kép megmutat, de nem fitogtat" - erről szól minden műelemzés, ezért keres rendező elvet az ikonográfia, és ennek megtalálása a műélvezet legfőbb forrása. A kalandhoz pedig Arasse-nál jobb vezetőt nemigen találhatunk. Ebben a kötetben hét tanulmányát egy új vezérlő elv szerint írta meg, melyet analitikus ikonográfiának nevezett el. A kép szüzséje(sujet) és az alkotó szubjektuma(sujet),- ahogy a francia szó egybeesése is azt mutatja, - egymásba épülését, és egymásra utalásait vizsgálja.
"Elemzésemnek nem az a célja, hogy egy nevet kapcsoljunk egy műalkotáshoz, hanem az, hogy egy alkotásban megragadjuk, mivé tudott válni alkotójának köszönhetően (akinek viszont ismernünk kell a nevét ahhoz, hogy a képet megfelelően tudjuk értelmezni). Témám jól körülhatárolható: újabb és újabb konkrét eseteket elemezve szeretném megragadni azt, ami - túl azon, hogy egyedivé teszi az egyik vagy a másik műalkotást azon a sorozaton belül, amelyhez tartozik - magán viseli alkotójának személyiségjegyeit. Vagyis azt kutatom, miképpen van benne a Mózesben Michelangelo, a Noé részegsége című festményben Bellini, A Bölcsesség allegóriájában (Az idő múlásának allegóriája a bölcsesség által vezérelve) című képen Tiziano, akárcsak Mantegna a szignatúráiban, vagy Piero di Cosimo a Prométheusz mítosza című képen?"
"Arasse kíváncsisága és fantáziája kimeríthetetlen, nyelvi és vizuális humora lenyűgöző, természete nyughatatlan. De a naiv rácsodálkozás és az alázat kegyes adománya is az övé." (Vass Norbert, Fidelio)
Dear Oliver
"Dear Dr. Sacks . . . You asked me if I could imagine what the world would look like when viewed with two eyes. I told you that I thought I could . . . But, I was wrong."
When Susan Barry first wrote to Oliver Sacks, she never expected a response, let alone the deep friendship that blossomed over ten years of letters.
Sue, herself a neuroscientist, wrote to share an extraordinary development in her own medical history. Born with problems with her vision, Sue had been told she would never acquire the ability to see in 3D - and yet she did, a development at odds with decades of research. Within days, Oliver replied, "Your letter fills me with amazement and admiration."
Sharing an interest in visual perception and a deep love of science, Sue and Oliver began writing back and forth, delving deeper into the mysteries of sight and marvelling at the adaptive capacity of the human body.
But in a painful twist of fate, as Sue's vision improved, Oliver's declined, and his characteristic typed letters shifted to handwritten ones. Sue later recognised this to be an early sign of the cancer that ultimately ended his extraordinary life.
It Was All a Dream
Celebrated in hardcover, a deeply reported and richly textured biography of Christopher Wallace—now in paperback!
The Notorious B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the 1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton Hill/Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit record, the wealth and international superstardom that came with it, then an early violent death. Biggie released his first record, Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his second record, Life After Death.
Journalist Justin Tinsley’s It Was All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the legend. It is based on extensive interviews with those who knew and loved Biggie, including neighbors, friends, DJs, party promoters, and journalists. And it places Biggie’s life in context, both within the history of rap but also the wider cultural and political forces that shaped him, including Caribbean immigration, the Reagan era disinvestment in public education, street life, the war on drugs, mass incarceration, and the booming, creative, and influential 1990s music industry. This is the story of where Biggie came from, the forces that shaped him, and the legacy he has left behind.
AC/DC - Ballbreaker (50th Anniversary) (Gold Metallic) LP
AC/DC je austrálska rocková skupina založená v roku 1973. Založili ju bratia Malcolm Young na rytmickej gitare a Angus Young na sólovej gitare. Ich súčasnú zostavu tvoria Angus, basgitarista Cliff Williams, bubeník Phil Rudd, hlavný spevák Brian Johnson a rytmický gitarista Stevie Young – synovec Angusa a Malcolma. Ich hudba bola rôzne popisovaná ako hard rock, blues rock a heavy metal, ale skupina to nazýva jednoducho „rock and roll“. Sú citovaní ako formujúci vplyv na novú vlnu britských heavymetalových kapiel, ako sú Def Leppard a Saxon. AC/DC boli uvedení do Rokenrolovej siene slávy v roku 2003.
"Ballbreaker" je trinásty štúdiový album, vydaný v roku 1995 a znovu vydaný v roku 2005 ako súčasť série AC/DC Remasters. Ballbreaker znamenal návrat bubeníka Phila Rudda, ktorý hral s AC/DC v rokoch 1975 až 1983. Rudd odišiel počas sedení Flick of the Switch kvôli problémom s drogami a jeho nekompatibilite s Malcolmom Youngom. Ballbreaker je jediný album AC/DC produkovaný Rickom Rubinom. Rubin bol dlhoročným fanúšikom kapely.

The Castle of Otranto
The Castle of Otranto is a 1764 novel by Horace Walpole. It is generally regarded as the first gothic novel, and it was indeed the first novel to describe itself by that term. Castle is thus generally credited with initiating the Gothic literary genre, one that would become extremely popular in the later 18th century and early 19th century. Thus, Walpole is arguably the forerunner of such authors as Charles Robert Maturin, Ann Radcliffe, Bram Stoker, and Daphne du Maurier.
