Addig se iszik
"Mikor a szerzőt megismertem, még nagyképűen vallotta: "Hárman nem írunk: Szókratész, Jézus és én." Aztán megtört, és írni kezdett, paródiákat, persze - és megállt a kanál a levesben, de úgy, hogy a fal adta másikat. Úgy vágytunk erre a hangra ebben a karót nyelt, szürke, humordeficites honi literatúrában, mint egy falat kenyérre. Bödőcs írásaiban a páratlan irodalmi műveltség találkozik az igazi humorral Karinthy boncasztalán. Apját kérdezték, mit szól, hogy fia már ír is. "Addig se iszik" - válaszolta a bölcs öreg, és igaza volt: Tibor írás közben sose iszik. (Hmm...) Mert ilyen az irodalom: nevel, tanít, szórakoztat - és amíg írunk vagy olvasunk, addig se iszunk. Tisztelet a kivételnek. Fogadják tehát szeretettel az irodalmi paródia Lemmyjét, a magyar humor Billy, a Kölyökjét, a búcsúszentlászlói Rabelais-t. "Tessék mosolyogni!" "

Havel
"Vaclav Havel: iconoclast and philosopher-king, an internationally successful playwright who became a political dissident and then, reluctantly, a president. His pivotal role in the Velvet Revolution, the end of Communism and the birth of a modern, west-facing Czech Republic makes him a key figure of the twentieth century. He was a character of great contradictions, a courageous visionary who put his life at risk, a leader who inspired great loyalty; yet a man wracked with doubt, self-criticism, depression and despair. Above all he was an intellectual and artist, always true to himself, someone who never lost a profound sense of the absurd. Michael antovsky was one of Havel's closest friends. They met as dissidents under Communism, and when a frail Havel was released from prison in May 1989 just months before the Velvet Revolution it was antovsky who carried his bag for him; during Havel's first presidency antovsky was his press secretary, speech writer and translator, and their friendship endured until Havel's death in 2011. He is therefore uniquely placed as Havel's biographer; a rare witness to this most extraordinary life."

Rebel Writers
'Make this your next inspirational read. Trust us, it's Oprah's Book Club worthy' Vice
In London in 1958, a play by a 19-year-old redefined women's writing in Britain. It also began a movement that would change women's lives forever. The play was A Taste of Honey and the author, Shelagh Delaney, was the first in a succession of young women who wrote about their lives with an honesty that dazzled the world. They rebelled against sexism, inequality and prejudice and in doing so challenged the existing definitions of what writing and writers should be. Bypassing the London cultural elite, their work reached audiences of millions around the world, paved the way for profound social changes and laid the foundations of second-wave feminism.
After Delaney came Edna O'Brien, Lynne Reid-Banks, Charlotte Bingham, Nell Dunn, Virginia Ironside and Margaret Forster; an extraordinarily disparate group who were united in their determination to shake the traditional concepts of womanhood in novels, films, television, essays and journalism. They were as angry as the Angry Young Men, but were also more constructive and proposed new ways to live and love in the future. They did not intend to become a literary movement but they did, inspiring other writers to follow. Not since the Brontes have a group of young women been so determined to tell the truth about what it is like to be a girl.
In this biographical study, the acclaimed author, Celia Brayfield, tells their story for the first time.

Hellboy - into the Silent Sea

Following the events of Hellboy: The Island, Gary Gianni draws Hellboy in an original graphic novel. "The master of modern horror comics."-IGN ..".

Task for Sisyphus : Why Europes Roma Policies Fail
Despite an increase in the number of EU and government initiatives in their favor, the situation of Roma in Europe has only worsened. This book explores the many miscalculations, misconceptions, and blunders that have led to this failure. For Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Romania, Rostas shows how policy makers in each country mishandled already confused EU policy, from failing to define "Roma" to not having a way to evaluate their own progress. Rostas further argues that the alleged successes of these policies were the product of poor information and sometimes outright deception. Examining perennial topics among Roma like school segregation and political representation, the author shows how often the so-called "success" of Roma policies can be fallacious and simply pave the way for further problems.
Rostas maintains that when the EU's Framework for Roma program comes to an end in 2020, there must be a fundamental shift in policy for there to be any real improvement for Roma. Policy makers will have to address Roma issues not only in terms of poverty and social exclusion but also in terms of the particular nature of Romani ethnic identity. This shift requires reconceiving Roma as a "politically insular minority" and rearranging the power dynamics of local government to ensure that when the new era of Roma policy begins Roma themselves will have a voice in its formulation.

A temető könyve
Felújított, illusztrált kiadás.
Senki Owens, a barátainak csak Sen, egy majdnem teljesen átlagos fiú. Akkor lenne teljesen átlagos, ha nem egy hatalmas temetőben lakna, ahol szellemek nevelik és tanítják, a gyámja pedig egy magának való alak, aki nem tartozik sem az élők, sem a holtak világához.
Egy fiú számára a temető tele van veszéllyel és kalanddal: ott a domb alatti vén Indigóember, ott a kapu, amely egy sivatagra nyílik, ahol elhagyott vámpírváros áll, és ott a különös és rettentő lény, a szlír.
Az igazi veszély azonban a való világban leskelődik Senre: ha kimegy a temetőből, vár rá a Jack nevű férfi, aki már megölte Sen egész családját...
Neil Gaiman barátságról és szeretetről szóló lenyűgöző története a legváratlanabb helyekre vezet, felejthetetlen élményt nyújtva. Az olvasó Chris Riddell illusztrációival, új szerkesztésben tartja a kezében a könyvet.

A Postás mindig kétszer csenget
– Azt hiszem, ők azok. Hárman vannak. – Hozd ide őket! Cora a szoknyája övébe dugta a pisztolyt, úgyhogy nem lehetett észrevenni, és kiment. Egy perc múlva zuhanást hallottam. Az egyik pasas volt. Felemelt kézzel lépkedtek hátrafelé Cora pisztolya előtt, és az egyikük elvágódott a küszöbön. Kinyitottam a fészer ajtajaát. – Parancsoljanak, uraim. Bejöttek. A kezük még fenn volt. Cora átadta a pisztolyt. – Mindnek volt revolvere. Az étteremben hagytam őket. – Menj inkább értük, Cora. Hátha még többen jönnek."

Démonok Árnyékában
A ?történet napjainkban, Minnesota talán legeldugodtabb kisvárosában történik….
Evelin Hartnett egyáltalán nincs elragadtatva a gondolattól, hogy szülei halála után, új családjához kell költöznie. Mint ahogy Josh sem örül leendő mostohatestvérének. Mégis lát valamit a lányban majdnem ugyan úgy, mint osztálytársuk Mike.
A két fiú gyűlöli egymást, de nem ismerik azt a múltbéli titkot, amely magyarázattal szolgálna nekik.
Erre az okra csak hárman tudták a titkos magyarázatot. Az egyikük lassan beleroppan az évek óta ki nem mondott szavak súlya alatt. A másik halott. A harmadik úgy érzi, hogy kész belemenni a játékba. De a játéknak két oldala van, amelyhez sokan csatlakozni fognak akarva, vagy akaratlanul.
Tehát adott…
Egy poros, múltban leragadt kisváros.
Egy idegen újlány, kit természetfeletti események sorozata kísért.
Két fiú, akiket fura dolgok kerítenek hatalmába születésük óta.
Egy hét fős baráti kör, akiknek a barátsága gyilkos fordulatot vesz.
Egy anya. Egy titok. Egy könyv.
Egy szerelmi háromszög.
Gyűlölet, hazugság, gonoszság, vérontás.
DÉMONOK!
Vajon a hit elég, hogy szembeszálljanak a gonosszal?
„ Mindhárman viaskodtak saját kis fantomjukkal, mit sem sejtve, hogy ők már véglegesen a démonok árnyékában vannak."
