Lacná kniha Kill Switch (-90%)
From surviving a horrific terrorist attack in Northern Ireland, to the violence of the Gulf War and an assault course of harrowing experiences in Iraq, Bosnia and Columbia, Major Bill Shaw, MBE had seen it all. But Bill's strength and courage was tested to its absolute limits when he was arrested for a crime he did not commit. Posted in Afghanistan after two years in Iraq, Bill was responsible for the safety of four hundred men in a full-scale danger zone in one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Bill had long accepted that each day could be his last. But he never expected to find his own life at risk under a corrupt legal system. Thrown into prison and forced to share a cramped, vermin-infested cell, Bill had no idea when, or even if, he would see his family again. This is the incredible true story of a brave soldier who survived some of the toughest war zones in the world only to face the nightmare of being wrongfully imprisoned a very long way from home. Gritty and gripping, this powerful military memoir is an eye-opening account of life on the frontline.

Frida Kahlo
The life and work of Frida Kahlo were inextricably intertwined. This beautiful monograph celebrates the artist while exploring the lesser-known aspects of her story. Reproductions of Kahlo's paintings are accompanied by a series of illuminating essays that explore the artist's private writings and the intense public interest in her life, the role of physical and mental suffering in the creative process, and the coded and double meanings hidden in so much of Kahlo's work. In addition, a photographic essay compiled by her grandniece, Cristina Kahlo, features images from the family's private collection. As an icon of female strength and suffering, Frida Kahlo has become something of an art world myth. This scholarly yet profoundly moving illustrated tribute to her life and work offers a measured perspective that rises above the noise of celebrity to discover the true artist and the truth of her art.

Szulejmán és a magyar udvarhölgy
Izgalom és romantika Szulejmán udvarában.
Milyen rejtélyes okból kerül egy bátor magyar lány a szultán háremébe? Mi lehet a kapcsolat a szultán, a királyné, a pap és a fiatal udvarhögy között?
1541. augusztus 29-én Szulejmán elfoglalja Buda várát. Ezen a napon nemcsak a magyar történelem, hanem egy fiatal lány élete is hatalmas fordulatot vesz. A húszéves Illésházy Anna csupán külsőleg tűnik egyszerű udvarhölgynek. Csak nagyon kevesen ismerik az évszázados titkot, melyet őriz. Izabella királyné, és a furfangos diplomáciai zseni, Fráter György embert próbáló feladattal bízza meg. Olyan felelősséget helyeznek a vállára, melynek súlyát akárki nem bírná el. Ő azonban különleges. A sors nap mint nap új kalandok elé állítja, és nemcsak az ellenségeivel, de saját magával is meg kell küzdenie.
A Szulejmán és a magyar udvarhölgy R. Kelényi Angelika első történelmi eseményeken alapuló romantikus kalandregénye, melyben egy évszázados titok, hazugságok, gyilkosság és egy szenvedélyes szerelem alakítják az eseményeket a XVI. század sorsfordító időszakában.

Az ?első világháború rövid története
Amikor ?a Nyugaton a helyzet változatlan vagy a Búcsú a fegyverektől című regényeket olvassuk, átéljük a 20. század első világégésének az értelmetlenségét, de hogy miért következett be, és milyen hatást gyakorolt valójában a világunkra a nagy háború, arra nem kapunk magyarázatot. S talán azért sem hallunk annyit erről a traumáról, amennyit kellene, mert a második világháború borzalmas emléke elhomályosítja az elsőét. Holott e kollektív megrázkódtatás feloldásához mindenekelőtt azt kellene megértenünk, hogy az első világháború pontosan miért tört ki, tartott hosszú évekig, és végződött úgy, ahogyan. A történelem sorsdöntő korszakait történészek sokasága igyekszik összefoglalni és értelmezni, olyannyira, hogy kutatómunkájuk tetemes mennyiségű anyagát szinte kilátástalan akár csak áttekinteni is. Norman Stone első világháborúról szóló könyve azonban különleges helyet foglal el e művek között: lebilincselő stílusban és tömörséggel, bennfentes apró információkkal és az utókor objektív nézőpontjából ad képet az olvasónak a nagy háborúról. A skót szerző esszéjébe azoknak a gondolkodásmódoknak a bemutatása is belefér, amelyek a katonai és politikai stratégiák mögött húzódtak meg, és a korszakos döntéseket alakították. Ennek köszönhetően lehetővé teszi, hogy az első világháború eseményeinek alaposabb megismerése, megfejtése által napjaink történéseit is jobban megérthessük…
NORMAN STONE (Glasgow, 1941. március 8. – Budapest, 2019. június 19.) skót történész és író. A cambridge-i Gonville and Caius College-ban szerzett történészdiplomát. 1962 és 1965 között Bécsben és Budapesten a közép-európai történelmet kutatta. Hazatérve a Gonville and Caius College-ban tanársegéd (1967), majd adjunktus (1973) lett. 1984-től az Oxfordi Egyetemen az újkori történelem profeszszora. Vezetett rovatot a The Sunday Timesban, rendszeresen publikált a Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung és a The Wall Street Journal hasábjain, valamint a BBC-nek is dolgozott. Margaret Thatcher munkáját beszédíróként és külpolitikai tanácsadóként segítette. Tucatnyi – többek között Oroszország, Törökország, Csehszlovákia és Magyarország történelmével foglalkozó – könyv szerzője, ezek közül máig a legnépszerűbbek az első, illetve a második világháború történetét feldolgozó kötetek.
