Lacná kniha Fish Face Phaidon (-70%)
The world's oceans are one of the last great largely unexplored places on earth. They teem with life some of it familiar and some of it strange to us and "Fish Face" takes us closer to the fish that live here. Showing full-page pictures of close up portraits of their faces, the book takes us from the beautiful to the ugly, from spiky to rotund. The huge variety of species is appealing and astounding. The book takes a look at the work of David Doubilet, widely acclaimed as the world's leading underwater photographer. He has photographed fish for over 25 years and "Fish Face" looks at the most colourful, fun and bizarre fish he has encountered. This book should appeal to anyone who has ever wondered about the variety of fish living in our oceans and to naturalists and photographers alike.

Rokon lelkek - Összegyűjtött esszék III.
Ha eltekintünk a Világló részletektől, rövidebb írásainak ez a gyűjteménye Nádas Péter legszemélyesebb műve. Igaz ez annak ellenére, hogy a kötetbe összegyűjtött "elegyes írások" középpontjában hangsúlyosan mindig valaki más, egy-egy Nádasnak valamilyen okból fontos személy áll. Az írások némelyike formailag alkalomszerű, például nekrológ, kiállításmegnyitó, egy frissen megjelent könyv kritikája, ám ezeket is az alkalom fölé emeli az a személyes többlet, amiért Nádas beválogatta ebbe a kötetbe. Más szövegek egyetlen és maradandó alkalma a megörökített személy jelentősége a szerző életében. Különösen igaz ez azok esetében, akikhez több írásában is visszatér, mint Esterházy Péter, Mészöly Miklós, Polcz Alaine vagy Balassa Péter. A vonzások és választások ily módon alakuló hálózata végül kirajzolja Nádas Péter önarcképét életének abból a korszakából, amelyet a Világló részletek már nem tárgyal.
"Az ember olyan lény (legalábbis európai változatában és szerencsés esetben), aki szeret nagy felfedezéseket tenni. Olykor szívesen feltalálja a spanyolviaszt. Máskor tényleg világraszóló felfedezést tesz. Felfedezi a kereket. Egy másik évszázadban a gyufát, amit akkoriban még gyújtónak neveztek. Századra jön század, s megint eltelik. Ami végül is fikció, ez az egész időszámítás. Mert valójában nincs rés, nincs szünet, a világ áthatás, hiány és átmenet. [...] Hogy személyesen értsük, mit beszélek itt, én például már kicsiny gyermekként nagy felfedező szerettem volna lenni. A gőzmozdonyt én is felfedezhettem volna, de fel volt fedezve. Vadul nézelődtem, hogy mit kéne felfedeznem. Valaki korábban az ekét is felfedezte. A traktort is felfedezték, én pedig azon rágódtam, hogy itt ez a borona, ezt sem kell felfedeznem. Viszont épp akkor ment egyetemre az ifjú, aki később fel fogja fedezni, hogy bármiként rugódzunk és vágyakozunk itt egy másik világra, az eke korai elterjedtségének történeti határai a mai napig megszabják a három nagy európai régió civilizációs és kulturális határait."
Lacná kniha Mapping The Bones (-70%)
From the best-selling and award-winning author of The Devil's Arithmetic, Jane Yolen, comes her first Holocaust novel in nearly thirty years. Influenced by Dr. Mengele's sadistic experimentations, this story follows twins as they travel from the Lodz ghetto, to the partisans in the forest, to a horrific concentration camp where they lose everything but each other. It's 1942 in Poland, and the world is coming to pieces. At least that's how it seems to Chaim and Gittel, twins whose lives feel like a fairy tale torn apart, with evil witches, forbidden forests, and dangerous ovens looming on the horizon. But in all darkness there is light, and the twins find it through Chaim's poetry and the love they have for each other. Like the bright flame of a Yahrzeit candle, his words become a beacon of memory so that the children and grandchildren of survivors will never forget the atrocities that happened during the Holocaust. Filled with brutality and despair, this is also a story of poetry and strength, in which a brother and sister lose everything but each other. Nearly thirty years after the publication of her award-winning and bestselling The Devil's Arithmetic and Briar Rose, Yolen once again returns to World War II and captivates her readers with the authenticity and power of her words. Praise for Mapping the Bones: "Jane Yolen's Mapping the Bones is a swift and deadly drama with overtones of dark fable we all wish we could forget. But this book, a shining star held in a trembling palm, requires us to remember." --Gregory Maguire, internationally bestselling author of Wicked "Mapping the Bones is spare and beautiful and haunting. Jane Yolen has created a masterpiece." --Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, New York Times bestselling author of The War That Saved My Life "Master storyteller Jane Yolen has outdone herself. This is a compelling, important, necessary, and timely book that deserves the widest audience possible." --Lesléa Newman, award-winning author of Still Life with Buddy "In the hands of the superb Jane Yolen, folklore and fact connect in a harrowing testimony to horror and to love. Brutal, relentless, prophetic, and full of truth." --Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity "A compassionate, unflinching, unforgettable Nazi labor camp Hansel & Gretel tale woven by America's finest spinner of Holocaust stories for young readers." --Julie Berry, author of the Printz Honor Book The Passion of Dolssa "[An] expansive, eloquent novel." --Publishers Weekly "Yolen does a superb job of dramatizing the horrors of WWII and the Holocaust, bringing vivid fear and suspense to her captivating story. It makes for altogether memorable and essential reading." --Booklist "[A] breath-taking and heartbreaking look at the horrors of war and the lengths people go to overcome." --Voice of Youth Advocates "Fans of Yolen's The Devil's Arithmetic will be engrossed in this story until the last page." --School Library Journal "[A] well-rounded story of a very difficult time that shows the resiliency of these young people." --School Library Connection

Mexican Gothic
The acclaimed author of Gods of Jade and Shadow returns with a mesmerising feminist re-imagining of Gothic fantasy, in which a young socialite discovers the haunting secrets of a beautiful old mansion in 1950s Mexico.
He is trying to poison me. You must come for me, Noemi. You have to save me.
When glamorous socialite Noemi Taboada receives a frantic letter from her newlywed cousin begging to be rescued from a mysterious doom, it's clear something is desperately amiss. Catalina has always had a flair for the dramatic, but her claims that her husband is poisoning her and her visions of restless ghosts seem remarkable, even for her.
Noemi's more suited to cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing, but she heads immediately to High Place, a remote mansion in the Mexican countryside, determined to discover what is so affecting her cousin. She's tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: not of her cousin's new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who is fascinated by Noemi; and not of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi's dreams with visions of blood and doom.
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family's youngest son. Shy and gentle, he wants to help - but he might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family's past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family's once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noemi digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.
And Noemi, mesmerised by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to leave this enigmatic house behind . .
La locomotora loca
Genio multiple, St. I. Witkiewicz cultivo diversos ambitos de expresion artistica. Ademas de la pintura, el arte grafico y la novela, el drama ocupa un lugar importante en su obra. En los anos 1918-1925 Witkiewicz escribio unas treinta piezas teatrales, lo que representa casi la totalidad de su creacion dramatica, comprendidas dos obras tardias Los zapateros - acabada en 1934-, y su ultima pieza, hoy desaparecida, La humanidad en delirio, que data de 1938.
Witkacy comenzo pronto a elaborar su propia teoria del teatro, tan original como controvertida. Conteniendo los principios que rigen su dramaturgia, esa teoria constituye ante todo un testimonio de la profunda reflexion del artista sobre el arte dramatico y el teatro. Witkiewicz subraya que las escenas de la epoca estan dominadas por rugidos de pasion y un exceso de vida.
El artista preconiza la teoria de la forma pura, definiendo el teatro como un arte principalmente formal: los elementos constitutivos del drama no deben implicar ninguna referencia al mundo real; indispensables a la accion, solo pueden tener sentido desde el punto de vista de la totalidad de la obra. Cualquier dramaturgo tendrá derecho a romper las relaciones de causa y efecto, deformar, a su gusto, no solo la psicologia, sino tambien los hechos y gestos de sus personajes: el artista unicamente puede encontrar la forma pura al precio de la deformacion de la vida y la naturaleza.
Segun Witkiewicz, el drama debe evocar el cerebro de un alienado sobre el escenario. El escritor reconoce sin embargo que cada obra de arte, reflejo del individuo que la creo, esta inevitablemente marcada por la logica de la vida cotidiana. Eliminar totalmente los elementos de lo real, seria encerrar el arte en la rigidez de un programa, lo que impediria la libertad del acto creador.

Lacná kniha Grave Secret (-70%)
When she was 15, Harper Connelly was struck by a bolt of lightning, which left her with a spiderweb of red over her body, headaches, and episodes of weakness. Sometimes her right hand shakes. And she can find dead people.
It's taken a while, but at last Harper's pretty happy with her life: she's making a living, using her unique talent to help people, and she's got a lover - her stepbrother Tolliver. That creeps some people out, but though they grew up together, and got each other through the real bad times - their parents' drug-use, the abuse, the disappearance of Harper's elder sister Cameron - they're not blood relatives.
Then Tolliver's dad arrives on the scene, seeking forgiveness for the sins of their youth, and the police get a tip-off that after all these years, Cameron's been spotted in a mall. With all this going on Harper realises life is getting a little complicated, but she doesn't expect those complications to include Tolliver getting shot, or watching a cop die taking a bullet for her.
Harper can find dead people, but now it's clear someone wants her dead ...
