The Gilded Ones – Aranyló vér
A tizenhat éves Deka félve várja a Próbát, ami el fogja dönteni, hogy befogadja-e a falu népe, hisz természetfeletti megérzései máris kiemelik a társai közül. Deka azért imádkozik, hogy vörös legyen a vére, de mivel az arannyá változik, sajnos tisztátalannak bizonyul. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a halálnál is rosszabb sors vár rá. Ekkor azonban megjelenik egy titokzatos hölgy, aki kiutat kínál neki: beállhat az alakik közé, a császár kizárólag lányokból álló seregébe. Az alakik mind ritka képességekkel megvert, csaknem halhatatlan lények, egyedül ők tudják elhárítani az országra rontó Halálsikolyok támadásait. Deka annyira vágyik az elfogadásra, hogy belemegy a veszedelmes ajánlatba, és otthagyja a szülőfaluját, az egyetlen közösséget, amit ismer. Miközben élete legnagyobb harcára készül, azzal kell szembesülnie, hogy a főváros magas falai között számos titok lakozik. Minden és mindenki másnak bizonyul, mint aminek látszik. Még maga Deka is. „Namina Forna az a friss hang, amelyre a YA fantasynak égetően szüksége volt.” POPSUGAR „Cselekménydús és fordulatos történet, amely elgondolkodtató módon ábrázol társadalmi igazságtalanságokat. A tiszta lezárás után az olvasó a mese folytatására vágyik.” Booklist „Egy veszélyekkel és csalódásokkal teli világba vezet minket, ahol engedelmes lányhőse a férfiuralmat túlélve harcossá edződik. Minden kétséget kizáróan 2021 legjobb fantasyje.” Kim Johnson „Szívdobogtató fordulatok és tüzes, szívós hősnő – káprázatos, átütő fantasy debütáció.” Elizabeth Lim „Forna olyan univerzumot teremt, ahol a nők testvérisége áll csak remény és kétségbeesés közé.” BookBub „Csemege azoknak, akik Tomi Ayedemi Vér és csont gyermekei című művének rajongói.” PureWow

Under The Banner of Heaven
Brothers Ron and Dan Lafferty insist they were commanded to kill by God.

From Syntax to Text: the Janus Face of Functional Sentence Perspective
The volume presents the author’s articles written in the last fifteen years, dealing with the interaction between syntax, functional sentence perspective (information structure) and text in present-day English. It is divided into five parts, I Syntactic Constancy, II Syntax FSP Interface, III FSP and Semantics, IV Syntax, FSP, Text and V Style, which reveal the two facets of functional sentence perspective: syntactic structures as realization forms of the carriers of FSP functions, and the connection of FSP with the level of text. The first and the last two parts frame the content of the volume in treating the role of functional sentence perspective at the syntactic and the textual levels. At the former, FSP is investigated as a potential factor of syntactic divergence between English and Czech, at the latter the role of FSP is examined with respect to theme development, text build-up and style. The points discussed in the other parts concern, among others, the hierarchical relationship between syntax and FSP, the question of potentiality in FSP structure, different realization forms of FSP structure and FSP functions, general and specific questions of word order, with major attention paid to the role of semantics.

Ox-Team Days on the Oregon Trail
The Oregon Trail--what suggestion the name carries of the heroic toil of pioneers! Yet a few years' ago the route of the trail was only vaguely known. Then public interest was awakened by the report that one of the very men who had made the trip to Oregon in the old days was traversing the trail once more, moving with ox team and covered wagon from his home in the state of Washington, and marking the old route as he went. The man with the ox team was Ezra Meeker. He went on to the capital, where Mr. Roosevelt, then President, met him with joy. Then he traversed the long trail once more with team and wagon--back to that Northwest which he had so long made his home. This book gives Mr. Meeker's story of his experiences on the Oregon Trail when it was new, and again when, advanced in years, he retraced the journey of his youth that Americans might ever know where led the footsteps of the pioneers. The publication of this book in its Pioneer Life Series carries forward one of the cherished purposes of World Book Company--to supply as a background to the study of American history interesting and authentic narratives based on the personal experiences of brave men and women who helped to push the frontier of our country across the continent.

The Watcher and other weird stories
It is now more than fifty years since the occurrences which I am about to relate caused a strange sensation in the gay society of Dublin. The fashionable world, however, is no recorder of traditions; the memory of selfishness seldom reaches far; and the events which occasionally disturb the polite monotony of its pleasant and heartless progress, however stamped with the characters of misery and horror, scarcely outlive the gossip of a season, and (except, perhaps, in the remembrance of a few more directly interested in the consequences of the catastrophe) are in a little time lost to the recollection of all. The appetite for scandal, or for horror, has been sated; the incident can yield no more of interest or novelty; curiosity, frustrated by impenetrable mystery, gives over the pursuit in despair; the tale has ceased to be new, grows stale and flat; and so, in a few years, inquiry subsides into indifference.
