A rémálmok múzsája - Muse of Nightmares
Itt a New York Times bestseller A különös álmodozó – Strange the Dreamer várva-várt folytatása a Nemzeti Könyvdíj-nyertes Laini Taylortól, a Füst és Csont leánya írónőjétől. Szárája hatéves kora óta uralta Könny lakosainak álmait a Rémálmok Múzsájaként. Eddig azt gondolta, hogy már ismer minden szörnyűséget, így többé semmi sem lepheti meg. Ám amikor lezuhant a citadellából, rájött, hogy tévedett. Sem ő, sem szerelme, a jóképű, álmodozó idegen, Lazlo sem lehetett már ugyanaz, mint előtte: egyikük istenné, másikuk szellemmé lett, és így kellett szembenézniük Minja fenyegetésével, aki véres bosszút tervez az alattuk elterülő város lakói ellen. Lazlo lehetetlen döntésre kényszerül – mentse meg a nőt, akit szeret, vagy mindenki mást? –, miközben Szárája reménytelenebbnek érzi magát, mint eddig valaha. És ez még nem minden, ugyanis hirtelen egy új ellenséggel is meg kell küzdeniük, valamint rá kell jönniük, honnan jöttek az istenek,és miért. Mindeközben, ahogy az elfeledett ajtókat kinyitják, új világok tárulnak fel.

Among the Meadow People
MANY of these stories of field life were written for the little ones of my kindergarten, and they gave so much pleasure, and aroused such a new interest in "the meadow people," that it has seemed wise to collect and add to the original number and send them out to a larger circle of boys and girls.All mothers and teachers hear the cry for "just one more," and find that there are times when the bewitching tales of animals, fairies, and "really truly" children are all exhausted, and tired imagination will not supply another. In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers.

Ambience - In the Forest (EN)
Wind-down to the sounds of nature. The sunshine twirls in the green treetops, which rustle gently in the breeze. Birds twitter and chirp, and in the distance, you hear a peaceful babbling brook. You are in a lush, serene forest; alone with nature´s music. Research has shown that natural sounds can have both a relaxing and stimulating effect on the brain.

Wisdom of the Ancients
THE PERFECT READ FOR TROUBLED TIMES
From the bestselling author of The Story of the British Isles in 100 Places comes this inspiring and beautifully written meditation on the wisdom inherited from our ancestors.
For all we have gained in the modern world, simple peace of mind is hard to find. In a time that is increasingly fraught with complexity and conflict, we are told that our wellbeing relies on remaining as present as possible. But what if the key to being present lies in the past?
In Wisdom of the Ancients, Neil Oliver takes us back in time, to grab hold of the ideas buried in forgotten cultures and early civilizations. From Laetoli footprints in Tanzania to Keralan rituals, stone circles and cave paintings, Oliver takes us on a global journey through antiquity. A master storyteller, drawing on immense knowledge of our ancient past, he distils this wisdom into twelve messages that have endured the test of time, and invites us to consider how these might apply to our lives today. The result is powerful and inspirational, moving and profound.
A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women
Here's how the history of the Roman Empire usually goes... We start with Romulus, go on to Brutus overthrowing Tarquin, bounce through an appallingly tedious list of battles and generals and consuls, before emerging into the political stab-fest of the late Republic. From there, it runs through all the emperors, occasionally mentioning a wife or mother to show how bad things get when women get out of control, until Constantine invents Christianity and then Attila the Hun comes and ruins everything.
But the history of Rome and empire is so much more than these Important Things. In this alternative history, Emma Southon traces the story of the Roman Empire through women: Vestal Virgins and sex workers, business owners and poets, martyrs and saints. Each gives a different perspective on women's lives and how they changed, across time and across class lines.

Lives of Girls and Women
The only novel from bestselling author Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Catching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler - that was childhood for Del Jordan, and now she's impatient for more. More than she can find in the encyclopedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances. Just like the girls in the movies, she wants to get started on real life. In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the frustrations, embarrassments, glee and bewilderment of adolescence, and to the brushes with sex, death, violence and birth that shape the lives of girls and women.
