Daisy Jones & The Six
Rock and roll a javából! Hamarosan tv-sorozatként is hódít! Mindenki ismeri a Daisy Jones & The Sixet, de hogy miért oszlott fel az együttes a népszerűségük csúcsán, azt senki sem tudta… Mostanáig. Daisy Los Angeles-i tinédzser a hatvanas évek végén, aki a Sunset Strip klubjaiba kéredzkedik be, rocksztárokkal fekszik le, és arról álmodik, hogy egy nap majd a Whisky a Go Góban énekelhet. Bár a szex és a drogok is magukkal ragadják, az igazi szenvedélye a rock’n’roll. Húszéves korára felfedezik a hangját és páratlan szépségét, mely könnyen őrültségre sarkallja az embereket. Ekkor vált egyre népszerűbbé a The Six is, a mélabús Billy Dunne együttese. Első turnéjuk előestéjén Billy barátnője, Camila megtudja, hogy terhes, és az apaság és a hírnév nyomása túl sok Billynek, akivel kissé elszalad a ló a turnén. Daisy és Billy útja akkor keresztezi egymást, amikor egy zenei producer rájön, hogy a megasiker kulcsa a páros összehozása. És ami ezután történik, az már maga a legenda.
Ezt a mítoszt járja körbe ez a lebilincselő és felejthetetlen regény, amely a hetvenes évek egyik legnépszerűbb bandájának történetét meséli el visszaemlékezéseken keresztül. Taylor Jenkins Reid tehetséges író, aki új szintre lép a Daisy Jones & The Sixszel, különleges és egyedülálló hangjával zseniálisan mutat be egy kivételes helyet és időszakot.

Edvard Munch - Magic of the North
Munch’s pictorial worlds – the initial impetus for modernism
Edvard Munch’s radical modernity in painting was a challenge for his contemporaries. This applied in particular to the art scene in Berlin around 1900 which the Norwegian Symbolist artist influenced profoundly. In return, he received support there and was able to continue to develop his work. The publication is lavishly illustrated and describes knowledgeably the story of Munch and Berlin.
In 1892 the Association of Berlin Artists invited the still-unknown Edvard Munch (1863–1944) to an exhibition. The public was shocked by the colourful, sketch-like pictures. The artist enjoyed the furore and moved to the city on the Spree, where he repeatedly sojourned until 1908. Here he learned the techniques for printed graphics and presented for the first time paintings in several continuous series which would become central to his oeuvre. In Berlin, before long, the concept of the “Magic of the North” (Stefan Zweig) was no longer associated with romantic or naturalistic fjord landscapes, but with Munch’s psychologically concentrated pictorial worlds.

Life On The Mississippi
Life on the Mississippi is a memoir by Mark Twain detailing his days as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River before and after the American Civil War. The book begins with a brief history of the river. It continues with anecdotes of Twain's training as a steamboat pilot, as the 'cub' of an experienced pilot. He describes, with great affection, the science of navigating the ever-changing Mississippi River. In the second half, the book describes Twain's return, many years later, to travel on a steamboat from St. Louis to New Orleans. He describes the competition from railroads, the new, large cities, and his observations on greed, gullibility, tragedy, and bad architecture. He also tells some stories that are most likely tall tales. Simultaneously published in 1883 in the U.S. and in England, it is said to be the first book composed on a typewriter. (Source: Wikipedia)

None of the Above
'When you are someone that falls outside of categories in so many ways, a lot of things are said to you. And I have had a lot of things said to me.'
In None of the Above, Travis Alabanza examines seven phrases people have directed at them about their gender identity. These phrases have stayed with them over the years. Some are deceptively innocuous, some deliberately loaded or offensive, some celebratory; sentences that have impacted them for better and for worse; sentences that speak to the broader issues raised by a world that insists that gender must be a binary.
Through these seven phrases, which include some of their most transformative experiences as a Black, mixed race, non binary person, Travis Alabanza turns a mirror back on society, giving us reason to question the very framework in which we live and the ways we treat each other.

A terrifying ghost is haunting the ancient mansion of Canterville Chase, complete with creaking floorboards, clanking chains and gruesome disguises – but the new occupants seem strangely undisturbed by his presence. Deftly contrasting the conventional gothic ghost story with the pragmatism of the modern world, Wilde creates a gently comic fable of the conflict between old and new.
