True Confessions of Adrian Mole
This is the brand new edition of the hilarious third book in the "Adrian Mole" series, Sue Townsend's "The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole". Monday June 13th. I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I've always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike. Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about...Included here are two other less well-known diarists: Sue Townsend and Margaret Hilda Roberts, a rather ambitious grocer's daughter from Grantham. "Essential reading for Mole followers". ("Times Educational Supplement"). "Wonderfully funny and sharp as knives". ("Sunday Times"). Sue Townsend is Britain's favourite comic author. Since the publication of "The Secret Diaries of Adrian Mole Aged 13 and 3/4" in 1982, she has made us weep with laughter and pricked the nation's conscience. Seven further volumes of diaries have followed: "The Growing Pains of Adrian Mole", "The True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole", "Adrian Mole: The Wilderness Years", "Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years", "The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole", "Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction" and "Adrian Mole: The Prostrate Years". All have been acclaimed bestsellers, some have been adapted for radio and TV, starring Lulu, Julie Walters and Stephen Mangan, among others. She has also written six other popular novels ("The Queen and I", "Queen Camilla", "Number Ten", "Rebuilding Coventry", "Ghost Children" and "The Woman Who Went to Bed for A Year") and penned many well-received plays. She lives in Leicester, where she was born and grew up.
To the End of the land
Ora, a middle-aged Israeli mother, is on the verge of celebrating her son Ofer's release from army service when he returns to the front for a major offensive. In a fit of preemptive grief and magical thinking, she sets out for a hike in the Galilee,
leaving no forwarding information for the 'notifiers' who might darken her door with the worst possible news. Recently estranged from her husband, Ilan, she drags along an unlikely companion: their former best friend and her former lover Avram, once
a brilliant artistic spirit. Avram served in the army alongside Ilan when they were young, but their lives were forever changed one weekend when the two jokingly had Ora draw lots to see which of them would get the few days' leave being offered by th
eir commander - a chance act that sent Avram into Egpyt and the Yom Kippur War, where he was brutally tortured as a POW. In the aftermath, a virtual hermit, he refused to keep in touch with the family and has never met the boy. Now, as Ora and Avram
sleep out in the hills, ford rivers and cross valleys, avoiding all news from the front, she gives him the gift of Ofer, word by word; she supplies the whole story of her motherhood, a retelling that keeps Ofer very much alive for Ora and for the rea
der, and opens Avram to human bonds undreamed of in his broken world. Their walk has a 'war and peace' rhythm, as their conversation places the most hideous trials of war next to the daily joys and anguish of raising children. Never have we seen so c
learly the reality and surrealityof daily life in Israel, the currents of ambivalence about war within one household, and the burdens that fall on each generation anew. Grossman's rich imagining of a family in love and crisis makes for one of the gre
at antiwar novels of our time.

Anatomie okem výtvarníka
Kniha byla napsána s potřebou sdělit důležité znalosti nezbytné pro zobrazení lidského těla těm, které zajímá člověk jako výtvarný námět.
Autoři, oba malíři - výtvarníci, vyšli z vlastní zkušenosti, že pro umělce je nejdůležitější vizuální vjem a že sebelepší podrobný verbální popis nikdy nenahradí kresebnou studii. Vznikla tak kniha s dominantní vizuální složkou doprovázenou stručným slovem, vhodná i pro studijní účely.

Essays and Aphorisms
One of the greatest philosophers of the nineteenth century, Schopenhauer (1788-1860) believed that human action is determined not by reason but by 'will' - the blind and irrational desire for physical existence. This selection of his writings on religion, ethics, politics, women, suicide, books and many other themes is taken from Schopenhauer's last work, Parerga and Paralipomena, which he published in 1851. These pieces depict humanity as locked in a struggle beyond good and evil, and each individual absolutely free within a Godless world, in which art, morality and self-awareness are our only salvation. This innovative - and pessimistic - view has proved powerfully influential upon philosophy and art, directly affecting the work of Nietzsche, Wittgenstein and Wagner among others. Arthur Schopenhauer was born in Danzig in 1788 where his family, of Dutch origin, owned a respected trading house. Arthur was expected to inherit the business, but hated the work and in 1807, after his father's suicide and the sale of the business, he enrolled in the grammar school at Gotha. He went on to study medicine and science at Gottingen University and in 1810 began to study philosophy. In 1811 he transferred to Berlin to write his doctoral thesis, and began to write The World as Will and Idea, a complete exploration of his philosophy, which was finished in 1818. Although the book failed to sell, his belief in his own views sustained him through twenty-five years of frustrated desire for fame. During his middle life he travelled widely in Europe and in 1844 brought out a much expanded edition of his book, which after his death became one of the most widely read of all philosophical works. His fame was established in 1851 with the publication of Parerga and Paralipomena, a collection of dialogues, essays and aphorisms. He died in 1860. R.J. Hollingdale has translated works by, among others, Schopenhauer, Goethe, T.A. Hoffmann, Lichtenburg and Theodor Fontane, as well as eleven of Nietzsche's books, many for the Penguin Classics. He has published two books on Nietzsche and was Honorary President of the British Nietzsche Society until his death in 2003.

Beautiful Question
Does the universe embody beautiful ideas? Artists as well as scientists throughout humanhistory have pondered this beautiful question. With Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek as your guide, embark on a voyage of related discoveries, fromPlato and Pythagoras up to the present. Wilczek sgroundbreaking work in quantum physics wasinspired by his intuition to look for a deeper orderof beauty in nature. In fact, every major advancein his career came from this intuition: to assumethat the universe embodies beautiful forms, formswhose hallmarks are symmetry harmony, balance, proportion and economy. There areother meanings of beauty, but this is the deeplogic of the universe and it is no accident thatit is also at the heart of what we find aestheticallypleasing and inspiring. Wilczek is hardly alone among great scientistsin charting his course using beauty as his compass.As he reveals in "A Beautiful Question," this has beenthe heart of scientific pursuit from Pythagoras, theancient Greek who was the first to argue that allthings are number, to Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and into the deep waters of twentiethcenturyphysics. Though the ancients weren tright about everything, their ardent belief in themusic of the spheres has proved true down to thequantum level. Indeed, Wilczek explores just howintertwined our ideas about beauty and art are withour scientific understanding of the cosmos. Wilczek brings us right to the edge of knowledgetoday, where the core insights of even the craziestquantum ideas apply principles we all understand.The equations for atoms and light are almostliterally the same equations that govern musicalinstruments and sound; the subatomic particlesthat are responsible for most of our mass aredetermined by simple geometric symmetries. Theuniverse itself, suggests Wilczek, seems to want toembody beautiful and elegant forms. Perhaps thisforce is the pure elegance of numbers, perhaps thework of a higher being, or somewhere between.Either way, we don t depart from the infinite andinfinitesimal after all; we re profoundly connectedto them, and we connect them. When we find thatour sense of beauty is realized in the physical world, we are discovering something about the world, butalso something about ourselves. Gorgeously illustrated, "A Beautiful Question" is amind-shifting book that braids the age-old questfor beauty and the age-old quest for truth into athrilling synthesis. It is a dazzling and importantwork from one of our best thinkers, whose humorand infectious sense of wonder animate every page.Yes: The world is a work of art, and its deepesttruths are ones we already feel, as if they weresomehow written in our souls."

És felébred, aminek neve van
"És felébred, aminek neve van ": közel huszonöt éve írtam egyik versemben ezt a sort. Hiszek a szavak varázserejében. Minden életre kel, amit szavakba foglalunk. Meg akartam ragadni mindent - a legkisebb dolgoktól a legnagyobbakig -, amivel szembekerültem, ami szembejött velem: eseményeket, híreket, szövegeket. Megfogni a véletlent, azt a (talán nem is) véletlent, amelyik olyan titokzatosan kever és rak napról napra ezer dolgot egymás mellé: szédítő gondolatot és tréfás szójátékot, frivolitást és hátborzongató meztelenséget, a nyilvános élet, a társadalom kegyetlenségeit, szörnyűségeit és a magánélet apró örömeit és személyes gyászát: szeptember 11-ét és (nekem) november 27-ét. Minden szétágazik és mégis minden összetartozik: ez a mi jelenünk, ez a mi rohanó huszonegyedik századunk." Kibédi Varga Áron 2000-ben Amszterdami krónika címmel jelentek meg Kibédi Varga Áron írásai, naplójegyzetei a Kalligram Kiadónál. A kötet sikerességén felbuzdulva a szerző folytatta az írást, a már kipróbált módszer szerint felírta, ami elé kerül, amit látott, hallott, olvasott Kolozsváron és Velencében, Brüsszelben és Londonban, de főleg az ő három állandó világában, Budapesten, Párizsban és Amszterdamban, a magyar, a francia és a holland kultúrában.

The Map and the Territory
Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. No one with any meaningful role in economic decision making in the world saw beforehand the storm for what it was. How had our models so utterly failed us? To answer this question, Alan Greenspan embarked on a rigorous and far-reaching examination of how Homo economicus predicts the economic future, and how it can predict it better. Economic risk is a fact of life in every realm, from home to business to government at all levels. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we make wagers on the future virtually every day, one way or another. Very often, however, we're steering by out-of-date maps, when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control. The Map and the Territory smartly updates our forecasting conceptual grid. It integrates the history of economic prediction, the new work of behavioural economists and the fruits of the author's own remarkable career to offer a thrillingly lucid and empirically based grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can't. The book explores how culture is and isn't destiny and probes what we can predict about the world's biggest looming challenges, from debt and the reform of the welfare state to natural disasters in an age of global warming. Alan Greenspan's approach, grounded in his trademark rigour, wisdom and unprecedented experience, offers a master class in economic decision making. Alan Greenspan was born in 1926 and reared in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. After studying the clarinet at Juilliard and working as a professional musician, he earned his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. in economics from New York University. In 1954, he cofounded the economic consulting firm Townsend-Greenspan & Co. From 1974 to 1977, he served as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Gerald Ford. In 1987, President Ronald Reagan appointed him chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, a position he held until his retirement in 2006. He is the author of the number one International bestseller The Age of Turbulence.

Haunted Castles
Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by award-winning director Guillermo del Toro Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro's favorites, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Ray Russell's short story 'Sardonicus', considered by Stephen King to be 'perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written', to Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. These stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere. Haunted Castles Haunted Castles is the definitive, complete collection of Ray Russell's masterful Gothic horror stories, including the famously terrifying novella trio of 'Sardonicus', 'Sanguinarius', and 'Sagittarius'. The characters that sprawl through Haunted Castles are frightful to the core: the heartless monster holding two lovers in limbo; the beautiful dame journeying down a damned road toward depravity (with the help of an evil gypsy); the man who must wear his fatal crimes on his face in the form of an awful smile. Engrossing, grotesque, perverted, and completely entrancing, Russell's Gothic tales are the best kind of dreadful. Ray Russell was born in 1924 in Chicago, Illinois, and served in the United States Air Force during World War II in the South Pacific. After the war, he attended the Chicago Conservatory of Music and eventually joined the editorial staff at Playboy, where he published such writers as Ray Bradbury, Kurt Vonnegut, Richard Matheson, Jack Finney, Robert Bloch, and Charles Beaumont. His best-known work, 'Sardonicus', was called by Stephen King 'perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written'. He died in Los Angeles in 1999. Guillermo Del Toro is a Mexican director, producer, screenwriter, novelist, and designer, most famous for his Academy Award-winning film, Pan's Labyrinth, and the Hellboy film franchise. He has received the Nebula, Hugo, and Bram Stoker awards and is an avid collector and student of arcane memorabilia and weird fiction.

Magister M
Elrejtett kincs Sopianae városában...
Egy díszes karperec Janus Pannonius hagyatékából...
Egy eltűnt corvina...
Jonathan Hunt Pécsett nyomoz...
Egy visegrádi ásatáson a Mátyás korabeli várfal kis cellájában harmincöt év körüli férfi földi maradványait tárják fel a régészek. Ez önmagában nem számítana szenzációnak, azonban a felirat, amelyet a fogoly vélhetően a kínhalála előtti órákban börtöne falába kapart, igencsak meghökkenti a kutatókat: Magister M 1872 Pécs - 1488 Visegrád.
Hogyan születhetett valaki négyszáz évvel a halála után? Tévedés történt, netán zseniális lelethamisítás áll a háttérben? A rejtély megoldása most is Jonathan Huntra vár. A New York Times Magyarországon élő újságírója ezúttal Pécsre utazik, ahol rég elfeledett, római kori kincsről szóló legendára bukkan, amely már Janus Pannonius képzeletét is megmozgatta.
Ám az értékes lelet ígéretére furcsán reagálnak új ismerősei. Valaki hazudik vagy másnak mutatja magát. De ki? A kissé rámenős, ám gáláns múzeumigazgató? A dúsgazdag osztrák műkincsgyűjtő? A csinos, de bizalmatlan pesti régésznő? Netán a fiú a nevelőintézetből, aki azt állítja, őriz egy darabot Ábray professzor időgépéből?
A Magister M fantasztikus történelmi kalandregény, amelyben életre kel Janus Pannoniuson kívül Galeotto Marzio és Hunyadi Mátyás is.
Faviken
Faviken is an exclusive insight into one of the world's most interesting restaurants: Faviken Magasinet in Sweden. Narrative texts, photographs and recipes explain head chef Magnus Nilsson's remarkable approach to sourcing and cooking with ingredients that are farmed and hunted in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant, and how he creates a seasonal cycle of menus based on them. He runs the restaurant with the same ethos as the farm that the restaurant building once housed. The small team of chefs harvests and preserves all the food for the restaurant by hand using the most natural methods possible. They reject the popular contemporary cooking equipment such as low-temperature water baths and liquid nitrogen in favour of simple cooking methods of grilling and roasting over open coals, relying on the chefs' innate skills and knowledge of the product to get the perfect result. This approach results in the highly creative food they serve in the restaurant, the pure, intense flavours of which, far from seeming traditional, are remarkable. The restaurant is near Jarpen, 600km north of Stockholm, in a remote part of the country, an area popular with cross-country skiiers. The restaurant is in a traditional Swedish farm and caters for only 12 people each evening. The menu is the same for all the guests, and each dish is served to all the guests at the same time, introduced by Magnus himself. The dishes sometimes involve the use of traditional implements such as a nineteenth-century ice-cream churn or an old sourdough bread basket, which is still used for proving the dough. Even though not everyone can visit Faviken, Nilsson's approach to working with ingredients in the most natural, intuitive way possible, and making the most of each season, will inspire all cooks and food-lovers to think differently about the ingredients that are available to them. Many of the basic recipes for yoghurt, bread, porridge, vinegar, pickles and preserves are simple and straightforward enough for anyone to attempt at home, and the advice on natural preservation methods can be followed by anyone.

Mendelssohn a tetőn
Egy zsidó, tetejébe egy zsidó zeneszerző szobrát ledönteni nem bűn, a szobor nem tud panasszal járulni a mennyei trónus elé. Na persze Isten útjai kifürkészhetetlenek, megesett, hogy a szobor sújtott le, egyszer látott egy ilyen operát. De hogy fényes nappal vetemedne ilyesmire? Manapság furcsa idők járnak, a törvényeket senki sem tartja be, a nappal éjszakává változhat...
Julius Schlesinger SS-hivatalnok azt a parancsot kapja feljebbvalóitól, hogy távolíttassa el a Rudolfinum mellvédjéről a Mendelssohn nevezetű zsidó zeneszerző szobrát még az esti, nagyszabású protokollkoncert előtt. Igen ám, de a felirat nélküli, impozáns szobrok közül vajon melyik lehet Mendelssohné? Minthogy sejtelme sincs róla, azt az utasítást adja embereinek, hogy a legnagyobb orrú szobrot hozzák le. De sajnos ez nem más, mint Richard Wagner szobra...
Ez a fekete humorral és mély együttérzéssel megírt megrázó regény a német nácik által igazgatott Cseh-Morva Protektorátus mindennapjait eleveníti föl. A történelem a kultúra felől mutatja meg legjobban abszurd arcát, és ezt a tükröt tartja oda neki Weil. A butaságot, a szolgalelkűséget, a rosszindulatot leplezi le a megszokottnál morbidabb cseh humor segítségével.
