Between Summer's Longing and Winter's End
It begins with the apparent suicide of a young American student in Stockholm. What is at first an open and shut case of suicide quickly leads to a complex web of international espionage, treachery and ultimately the legendary murder of the Swedish Pr
ime Minister, Olof Palme. Dogged by the incompetence of their colleagues and the murkiness of the political aspects of the case, a few good and honourable policemen must make their way through a world of corruption, violence and prejudice if they are
to survive and discover the truth behind the greatest trauma to hit Sweden in living memory.

Building: 3000 Years of Design, Engineering, and Construction
From Egypt and Classical Greece and Rome through the building booms of the Gothic era and the Renaissance, and from the Industrial Revolution to the present era of digital modeling, Building: 3,000 Years of Design, Engineering, and Construction, charts centuries of innovations in engineering and building construction. This comprehensive and heavily illustrated volume, aimed at students and young professionals as well as general readers, explores the materials, classic texts, instruments, and theories that have propelled modern engineering, and the famous and not-so-famous buildings designed through the ages, from the Parthenon to Chartres Cathedral and the dome of St. Peter's, from eighteenth-century silk mills in England to the Crystal Palace, and on to the first Chicago high-rises, the Sydney Opera House, and the latest "green" skyscrapers. The book concentrates on developments since the industrial and scientific revolutions of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Incorporated within the continuous narrative are sidebars with short biographies of eminent engineers, excerpts from classic texts, stories of individual projects of major importance, and brief histories of key concepts such as calculus. Also included are extensive reference materials: appendices, a glossary, bibliography, and index.

Lacná kniha Metamorphosis and Other Stories (-50%)
Translated, with an introduction, by John R. Williams, this selection of Kafka's shorter prose writings includes one of the few works published during his lifetime: the harrowing story of Gregor Samsa's overnight transformation into a verminous insec
t, his record of the effect of this sudden metamorphosis on himself and the reaction of his family. It conveys with an unsettling mixture of subjective involvement and objective detachment the complex feelings of guilt, affection, responsibility and
self-doubt that characterise Kafka's perception of intimate emotional relationships - themes that are continued in the quasi-fictional story "The Judgement" and the quasi-autobiographical "Letter to his Father". Issues of guilt, punishment and penanc
e are also treated with startling brutality in the story set in a tropical penal colony that describes in horrific detail a machine designed to inflict an ingenious and barbaric form of execution on victims of a summary and arbitrary justice - a mach
ine, however, that in this instance destroys not its intended victim, but its zealous operator and, simultaneously, itself. Kafka's enigmatic fables deal, often in dark and quirkily humorous terms, with the insoluble dilemmas of a world in which ther
e appears to be no reassurance, no reliable guidance to resolving our existential and emotional uncertainties and anxieties.

Én és énke
"Én magamat nem ismerem... De ismerek valakit, aki bennem lakik, akivel én sohase beszélgettem, aki gyakran megszólal, hetykén és hangosan, nem törődve azzal, hogy én sohasem válaszoltam neki, hogy szégyellem, és zavarban vagyok miatta, mint valami neveletlen kölyök miatt társaságban az illedelmes szülő... Ő az Énke, de nem szeretném, ha velem azonosítanák."
Ugyan kiben nem lakozik egy ilyen pimasz mitugrász kis senki, vagy inkább valaki? Ő énünk jobbik, igazabb és őszintébb része, aki fütyül a követelményekre és konvenciókra, fittyet hány a szabályokra, áthágja a korlátokat. Énkét minden játékos kisgyerek és minden lázadó kamasz ismeri, és akinek szerencséje van, felnőttkorában is megőriz magában valamit-valakit belőle.
Karinthy Frigyes fanyar és ellenállhatatlan humorú írásaiban, vidám jeleneteiben és groteszk életképeiben, amelyeken egyszerre sírunk és nevetünk, meghasonlott önmagunkkal és a meghasonlott világgal szembesülhetünk. Feketén-fehéren feltárul előttünk a dolgok kettős arculata, az emberi történések, érzelmek színe és fonákja.
Nem győzzük kapkodni a fejünket: hát ilyen a világ? És hogy valójában milyen is a világ, azt nemcsak a kötetben egybegyűjtött humoreszkek láttatják velünk, hanem Réber László elegáns, szellemes rajzai is.

Ruin and Rising - Pusztulás és felemelkedés - kemény kötés
Az ország sora egy megtört idézőn, egy kegyvesztett nyomkeresőn és egy egykori nagy mágikus sereg szétvert maradványain múlik.
Az Éjúr árnytrónján ülve uralkodik, míg a meggyengült és sebesült Alina Sztarkov igyekszik felépülni, az őt szentként imádó Apparátus kétes védelme alatt. Minden reményét egy rég eltűnt ősi lény mágiájába veti, és abba az esélybe, hogy egy bizonyos törvényen kívüli herceg még életben van.
Ahogy a szövetségesei és az ellenségei a háborúba sodródnak, egyedül Alina áll az ország és világ örök rabságával fenyegető, áradó sötétség között. Hogy megnyerje ezt a harcot, meg kell szereznie egy legendás lény hatalmát - ám a tűzmadár utáni hajsza váratlan fordulatot tartogat.

Én, Livia
Történet egy lányról, aki később Augustus császár felesége lett.
Majd a Római Birodalom legnagyobb hatalmú asszonya.
Livia Drusilla tizennégy éves korában kihallgatja apját és annak arisztokrata társait, akik éppen a Julius Caesar elleni merényletet tervezik. A fiatal lány éles eszű bizalmassá és apja legfőbb politikai fegyverévé válik. Vonakodva ugyan, de előnyös házasságot köt Caesar hadseregének egyik parancsnokával. Anyjától azt tanulja, egy nő is lehet hatással a közügyekre, és folyamatosan próbálja észben tartani, hogy bár kiváló érzékkel látja át a római szenátus intrikáit, mindig türelmesnek és gyakorlatiasnak kell maradnia.
De a türelemről és a ravaszságról azonnal megfeledkezik, amikor találkozik Caesar fogadott fiával és örökösével, Octavianusszal. A mindössze tizennyolc éves férfi nagy hatalma ellenére szerénynek mutatkozik, és megigézi Liviát, az újdonsült feleséget. Octavianus vagyona és befolyása egyre nő, így Livia családjának szörnyű veszéllyel kell szembenéznie. A lány éles eszét és szívét követve súlyos választásra kényszerül, melynek eredményeként nagyobb befolyása lesz Rómára, mint azt valaha is gondolta volna.

Gyöngyök a mélyben – Bohumil Hrabal füveskönyve
Ha van közép-európai író, aki igazán közel ál a magyarok szívéhez-lelkéhez, akkor az Bohumil Hrabal. A hétköznapi élet szereplőiből és apró dolgaiból csodát varázsoló író minden - tematikus válogatásunkban szereplő - gondolata megérdemli, hogy eltöprengjünk a világon és önmagunkon. (Belőlük erőt merítve Pepín bácsival együtt talán mi magunk is vallani fogjuk: "Az élet csodálatos, nem mintha tényleg az lenne, de én annak látom...")

The Fall of Gondolin
Painstakingly restored from Tolkien's manuscripts and presented for the first time as a standalone work, the epic tale of The Fall of Gondolin will reunite fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings with Elves and Men, Balrogs, Dragons and Orcs and the rich landscape and creatures unique to Tolkien's Middle-earth.
In the Tale of The Fall of Gondolin are two of the greatest powers in the world. There is Morgoth of the uttermost evil, unseen in this story but ruling over a vast military power from his fortress of Angband. Deeply opposed to Morgoth is Ulmo, second in might only to Manwe, chief of the Valar.
Central to this enmity of the gods is the city of Gondolin, beautiful but undiscoverable. It was built and peopled by Noldorin Elves who, when they dwelt in Valinor, the land of the gods, rebelled against their rule and fled to Middle-earth. Turgon King of Gondolin is hated and feared above all his enemies by Morgoth, who seeks in vain to discover the marvellously hidden city, while the gods in Valinor in heated debate largely refuse to intervene in support of Ulmo's desires and designs.
Into this world comes Tuor, cousin of Turin, the instrument of Ulmo's designs. Guided unseen by him Tuor sets out from the land of his birth on the fearful journey to Gondolin, and in one of the most arresting moments in the history of Middle-earth the sea-god himself appears to him, rising out of the ocean in the midst of a storm. In Gondolin he becomes great; he is wedded to Idril, Turgon's daughter, and their son is Earendel, whose birth and profound importance in days to come is foreseen by Ulmo.
At last comes the terrible ending. Morgoth learns through an act of supreme treachery all that he needs to mount a devastating attack on the city, with Balrogs and dragons and numberless Orcs. After a minutely observed account of the fall of Gondolin, the tale ends with the escape of Tuor and Idril, with the child Earendel, looking back from a cleft in the mountains as they flee southward, at the blazing wreckage of their city. They were journeying into a new story, the Tale of Earendel, which Tolkien never wrote, but which is sketched out in this book from other sources.
Following his presentation of Beren and Luthien Christopher Tolkien has used the same 'history in sequence' mode in the writing of this edition of The Fall of Gondolin. In the words of J.R.R. Tolkien, it was 'the first real story of this imaginary world' and, together with Beren and Luthien and The Children of Hurin, he regarded it as one of the three 'Great Tales' of the Elder Days.
