Those Kinds of Girls
Double standards are about to get singled out. As lead reporter for her school newspaper, Eden has covered her fair share of stories. So when intimate photos of seven female students are anonymously emailed to the entire school, Eden is determined to get to the bottom of it.
As she digs deeper into the mystery, Eden is shocked to discover not everyone agrees the students are victims. Some argue that they're 'those kinds of girls' and 'brought it on' - and the school's administrator is more concerned about protecting the school's reputation than its students. With the anonymous sender threatening more emails, Eden needs to act quickly.
Banding together with the seven young women to find the perpetrator, the tables are about to be turned . . .
The girls are fighting back. Natalie Walton's empowering and sparky debut is a feminist mystery story - perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Netflix's Sex Education.

Sus obras dramáticas se revelan como un medio especialmente eficaz para desplegar conflictos ideológicos y éticos a través de personajes veraces y situaciones límite. En esta obra, escrita durante la ocupación alemana en Francia, un destino no sólo ciego, sino también voluntariamente cruel, convierte en criminales a seres inocentes. Otras obras de Camus en esta Biblioteca de autor: «El extranjero» (BA 0657), «Los justos» (BA 0658), «Calígula» (BA 0659), «El mito de Sísifo» (BA 0660), «La caída» (BA 0661), «El exilio y el reino» (BA 0662) y «El hombre rebelde» (BA 0664).

The Flame of Reason
A passionate, highly accessible clarion call to a world dangerously threatened by irrational superstitions of all kinds. 'Truly a book for our time' Steven Pinker 'In Sweden's public square, Christer Sturmark has done as much as anyone to uphold reason and humane critical thinking' Richard Dawkins 'As lucid and illuminating as it is warm and inspiring' Rebecca Goldstein In country after country, conspiracy theories and religious dogmas that once seemed to have been overtaken by enlightened thought are helping to lift authoritarian leaders into power. The effects are being felt by women, ethnic minorities, teachers, scientists and students - and by the environment, the ultimate victim of climate change denial. We need clear thinking now more than ever. Christer Sturmark is a crusading secular humanist as well as a Swedish publisher and entrepreneur, and The Flame of Reason is his manifesto for a better world. It provides a set of simple tools for clear thinking in the face of populist dogmas, anti-science attitudes and pseudo-philosophy, and suggestions for how we can move towards a new enlightenment. From truth to Quantum Physics, moral philosophy to the Myers-Briggs test, Sturmark offers a passionate defence of rational thought, science, tolerance and pluralism; a warm and engaging guide for anyone who wants to better navigate the modern world. Translated by and co-written with Douglas Hofstadter, celebrated cognitive scientist, physicist and author of Godel, Escher, Bach.

The Spell
A romance set in Italy involving a love triangle of Helen, Inez, and Jack, tangled up in a spell of dual personalities, in the present and in the past. Excerpts:..."SLOWLY THE SPELL BEGAN TO WORK UPON INEZ’ BRAIN. SHE WAS NO LONGER IN THE PRESENT—SHE WAS A WOMAN OF ITALY OF FOUR CENTURIES BACK."...“It has actually happened at last,” the letter began, “and your favorite wager of ‘a thousand to one on the unexpected’ has really won. In other words, I, Helen Cartwright, condemned (by myself) to live and die an old maid as penalty for being so critical of the genus homo, now confess myself completely, hopelessly in love, and so happy in my new estate that I wonder why I ever hesitated."...“Helen, dear,” she [Inez] said, “here in the presence of Mr. Cartwright and Monsignor Cerini I ask your permission to keep in my heart the image of the man I learned to love while we both were beneath the spell. That man no longer exists in the flesh, but I still worship his memory. He can never exist again except as a part of an experience which could never be repeated. Is this asking too much, dear?”“What does it all mean?” cried Helen, gazing at her helplessly—“what does it all mean?”“It means that there have been two Jacks, Helen—one of whom became transformed for a time into a veritable master-spirit of the past. To this man, I admit, I gave a devotion which I shall never—could never—give to any other; but he died, Helen, when the spell broke against that wall at the foot of the hill of Settignano. This man, even during his existence, gave me no devotion in return, and knew not the passion which he inspired in me. He had no heart, but it was not his heart I worshipped. To me his mind—broad, comprehensive, and understanding—stood for all that life could give. The other Jack—the man you married—has never wavered in the love he gave you from the first. He has suffered from the influence of the second personality in that he was forced into the background by the greater strength of this sub-conscious self; but he has also gained from its influence in the development which we all have seen. My Jack is dead, but yours still lives. He needs you, and he longs for the return to him of the wife he has always loved.”

Innocent Man
John Grisham's first work of non-fiction, an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry, is his most extraordinary legal thriller yet. In the major league draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's, he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory. Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa.In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.

Lacná kniha Les Reveries du Promeneur Solitaire (-70%)
Débranchez vos téléphones portables et relisez Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire pour redécouvrir ce que l'on doit à la solitude et au libre vagabondage de ses pensées. Perpétuellement dérangé, et comme détourné de lui-même par d'incessantes sollicitations, "l'homme pressé" du monde contemporain pourrait bien retrouver dans la lecture de ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature française l'occasion d'un recueillement salutaire. Ces heures de solitude et de méditation sont les seules de la journée où je sois pleinement moi et à moi sans diversion, sans obstacle, et où je puisse véritablement dire être ce que la nature a voulu. Seconde promenade Si vous avez aimé La Première Gorgée de bière de Philippe Delerm, vous éprouverez sans conteste les délectations d'une prose admirable qui restitue l'expérience élémentaire de la dégustation et de l'attention savoureuse au monde qui caractérise ces moments délivrés de l'urgence où nous nous laissons aller aux joies simples de l'existence. Loin d'exalter l'enracinement et le goût du terroir, Rousseau, en ce sens résolument moderne, nous rappelle qu'un homme libre n'a pas de racines mais des pieds, pour s'en servir et parcourir le monde. Une invitation à la marche, à lire dans l'esprit cosmopolite propre au Siècle des lumières ! --Paul Klein

Poetic, sharp and dangerous, Hollywood - Bukowski's fictionalisation of his experiences making the film Barfly - explores the many dark shadows to be found in the neon-soaked glare of Hollywood's limelight.

The Beauty Myth
This is Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short form with a new introduction by the author. Every day, women around the world are confronted with a dilemma - how to look. In a society embroiled in a cult of female beauty and youthfulness, pressure on women to conform physically is constant and all-pervading. In this shortened edition you will find the essence of Wolf's groundbreaking book. It is a radical, gripping and frank expose of the tyranny of the beauty myth, its oppressive function and the destructive obsession it engenders.
Hiroshige & Eisen The Sixty-Nine Stations Along the Kisokaido
The Kisokaido route through Japan was ordained in the early 1600s by the country's then-ruler Tokugawa Ieyasu, who decreed that staging posts be installed along the length of the arduous passage between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Inns, shops, and restaurants were established to provide sustenance and lodging to weary travelers. In 1835, renowned woodblock print artist Keisai Eisen was commissioned to create a series of works to chart the Kisokaido journey. After producing 24 prints, Eisen was replaced by Utagawa Hiroshige, who completed the series of 70 prints in 1838.
Both Eisen and Hiroshige were master print practitioners. In The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, we find the artists' distinct styles as much as their shared expertise. From the busy starting post of Nihonbashi to the castle town of Iwamurata, Eisen opts for a more muted palette but excels in figuration, particularly of glamorous women, and relishes snapshots of activity along the route, from shoeing a horse to winnowing rice. Hiroshige demonstrates his mastery of landscape with grandiose and evocative scenes, whether it's the peaceful banks of the Ota River, the forbidding Wada Pass, or a moonlit ascent between Yawata and Mochizuki.
Taken as a whole, The Sixty-Nine Stations collection represents not only a masterpiece of woodblock practice, including bold compositions and an experimental use of color, but also a charming tapestry of 19th-century Japan, long before the specter of industrialization. This TASCHEN volume is sourced from one of the finest surviving first editions and revives the series in our compact anniversary edition.

'This witty, disturbing book deals with sexism, mental health issues and the hypocrisy of a country where young women are "popping caffeine pills and turning jaundiced" as they slave away in factories helping to fund higher education for male siblings.' The Independent
'A treatise and a howl of anger [...] it describes experiences that will be recognisable everywhere. It's slim, unadorned narrative distils a lifetime's iniquities into a sharp punch. The books demonstrates the unfairness of the female experience and the sheer difficulty of improving it.' The Sunday Times

Élet a traumák után
Nem tehetünk arról, hogy honnan jöttünk. Gyerekként nincs választásunk, de felnőve mi dönthetjük el, milyen életet élünk. Választhatjuk azt, amit gyerekként kaptunk, vagy ráléphetünk egy másik útra, amit úgy alakítunk, ahogy az Nekünk jó. Megválaszthatjuk hol élünk, kikkel vesszük körbe magunkat. Minek adunk időt és az energiánkat.
Ha a szüleinket vagy a körülményeinket hibáztatjuk, soha nem fogunk tudni teljes életet élni. Mindent, ami az életünkben van, legyen az jó vagy rossz, mi teremtjük meg magunknak. Amint képes vagy elfogadni ezt valóságnak, az életed is változásnak indul.
Én nagyon sokáig gyűlöltem azt, ahonnan jöttem; hátat fordítottam a traumáimnak, de egyre nehezebb volt az élet, míg végül egy újabb nagy veszteség hatására kezdtem el másképpen élni. Elkezdtem feldolgozni az engem ért bántalmazásokat és szembenézni a múltammal. Az életem virágozni kezdett. Itt az idő, hogy elengedd a szenvedést és elhidd, megérdemled a jót az életedbe!

The Spring Girls
Four sisters desperately seeking the blueprints to life-the modern-day retelling of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women like only Anna Todd (After, Imagines) could do.
The Spring Girls-Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy-are a force of nature on the New Orleans military base where they live. As different as they are, with their father on tour in Iraq and their mother hiding something, their fears are very much the same. Struggling to build lives they can be proud of and that will lift them out of their humble station in life, one year will determine all that their futures can become.
The oldest, Meg, will be an officer's wife and enter military society like so many of the women she admires. If her passion-and her reputation-don't derail her.
Beth, the workhorse of the family, is afraid to leave the house, is afraid she'll never figure out who she really is.
Jo just wants out. Wishing she could skip to graduation, she dreams of a life in New York City and a career in journalism where she can impact the world. Nothing can stop her-not even love.
And Amy, the youngest, is watching all her sisters, learning from how they handle themselves. For better or worse.
With plenty of sass, romance, and drama, The Spring Girls revisits Louisa May Alcott's classic Little Women, and brings its themes of love, war, class, adolescence, and family into the language of the twenty-first century.

Egy cica pedig úgysem tudhatja, kinek mi kell. Vagy mégis?
