Recepciós kisasszonyok
Egy lebilincselő történet az 1920-as évekből.
Szőlőssy Dalma, egy sváb-magyar család ifjú kisasszonya, apja rokoni kapcsolatainak köszönhetően Bécsbe utazik, hogy az osztrák főváros egyik legelegánsabb szállodájában szobalányként próbáljon szerencsét.
Egy félig-meddig véletlen okán azonban néhány hét elteltével a recepción találja magát, ahol kolléganőivel nem csupán a neves hotel mindennapjait forgatják fel, hanem belevetve magukat a pezsgő város forgatagába, a saját életüket is.
Hogyan válik egy félénk budapesti lány érett, a nők egyenjogúságáért harcoló fiatalasszonnyá? Mennyit ér a barátság az olykor emberpróbáló időkben? Valóban felment-e bennünket a vétkeink alól a határtalan szerelem?
Palotás Petra legújabb regényében, a Recepciós kisasszonyokban a varázslatos 1920-as évekbe repít vissza bennünket, hogy részesei lehessünk egy korhű pillanatképekkel életre keltett, feledhetetlen történetnek.

Not in Love
A forbidden, secret affair proves that all's fair in love and science - from Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood. Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought.
Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down. Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through - and he's a man who gets what he wants.
With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can't stop thinking about. The woman who's off-limits to him.
Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business - one that plays for keeps.

Sous le masque de ce personnage glissant comme une anguille ", double de Brutus l'Ancien comme de Hamlet, se laisse entrevoir, de loin en loin, le moi déchiré de l'auteur, enfant du sicle. Entre cynisme et idéalisme, débauche et hérosme, la figure énigmatique de celui que l'on surnomme Lorenzaccio a inspiré Musset ce chef-d'uvre du drame romantique. "

Stories of Your Life and Others
'A science fiction genius . . . Ted Chiang is a superstar.' GUARDIAN
With Stories of Your Life and Others, his masterful first collection, multiple-award-winning author Ted Chiang deftly blends human emotion and scientific rationalism in eight remarkably diverse stories, all told in his trademark precise and evocative prose.
From a soaring Babylonian tower that connects a flat Earth with the firmament above, to a world where angelic visitations are a wondrous and terrifying part of everyday life; from a neural modification that eliminates the appeal of physical beauty, to an alien language that challenges our very perception of time and reality, Chiang's rigorously imagined fantasias invite us to question our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
'United by a humane intelligence that speaks very directly to the reader, and makes us experience each story with immediacy and Chiang's calm passion.' CHINA MIEVILLE
OWC Good Soldier
The meeting of John and Florence Dowell and Edward and Leonora Ashbumham in a German health spa is the centre of a train of lies, deceptions, adulterous love triangles and deaths. John Dowell, a memorably "unreliable" narrator, calls it "the saddest
story I have ever heard". His narrative distance stems partly from the distance in time of the events, partly from his absence from some of them, but mostly from his ignorance or denial of realities as intimate as his wife's serial deception.

Autoboti a Decepticoni nejsou jedinými Transformery, kteří se mezi námi skrývají. V hlubinách amazonského pralesa už tisícovky let tiše přežívá druh Maximals, který si jako pozemské krytí zvolil zástupce zvířecí říše. Bohužel se v naší sluneční soustavě objevila hrozba, která je původně vyštvala z jejich domoviny – Unicron, nemilosrdný požírač všeho živého. Příběh nových Transformers se odehrává v devadesátkách, v době, kdy Optimus Prime ještě nebyl ten pravý lídr ostřílený četnými bitvami na život a na smrt. Aby dokázal po boku Maximals čelit existenční hrozbě, bude muset nejprve zkrotit své ego a respektovat vůdce „zvířecích botů“, Optima Primala. Transformers se navíc budou muset vypořádat s tím, že se o jejich existenci dozvěděli dva obyčejní smrtelníci, Noah a Elena, oba dost šílení na to, aby jim pomohli v bitvě s mnohem silnějším nepřítelem, i když na to nemají parametry. Přece jen jde o jejich planetu.

Lockwood & Co: The Hollow Boy
Lockwood & Co. might be the smallest (some might say shambollic) Psychic Detection Agency in London. But its three agents - Lockwood, Lucy and George - are exceptional Talents. And they get results. When an outbreak of ghostly phenomena grows to terrifying levels in Chelsea, Scotland Yard is left baffled.
Even more baffling is that Lockwood & Co appear to have been excluded from the huge team of Agents investigating the Chelsea Outbreak. Surely this is the perfect chance for them to show once and for all that they're actually the best in town? Well, that's if they can put aside their personal differences for long enough to march into action with their rapiers, salt and iron . . .
Ghouls and spectres, thrills and tension in this brand-new instalment in Jonathan Stroud's bestselling series.

Food for life
Food is our greatest ally for good health, but the question of what to eat has never seemed so complicated. Tim Spector has pioneered a science-based approach to nutrition, encouraging us to forget misleading notions of calorie counts or nutritional breakdowns. In Food for Life he draws on over a decade of cutting-edge scientific research, along with his own personal insights, to deliver a new and comprehensive guide to what we should all know about food today. Taking a wide-angle lens on everything from environmental impact and food fraud to allergies and deceptive labelling, Spector also shows us the many wondrous and surprising properties of everyday foods, which scientists are only just beginning to understand.
Empowering, practical, wide-ranging and filled with intriguing insights, Food for Life is nothing less than a new approach to how to eat - for our health and the health of the planet.

How Civil Wars Start
Civil wars are the biggest danger to world peace today - this book shows us why they happen, and how to avoid them.
Most of us don't know it, but we are living in the world's greatest era of civil wars. While violence has declined worldwide, civil wars have increased. This is a new phenomenon. With the exception of a handful of cases - the American and English civil wars, the French Revolution - historically it has been rare for people to organise and fight their governments.
This has changed. Since 1946, over 250 armed conflicts have broken out around the world, a number that continues to rise. Major civil wars are now being fought in countries including Iraq, Syria and Libya. Smaller civil wars are being fought in Ukraine, India, and Malaysia. Even countries we thought could never experience another civil war - such as the USA, Sweden and Ireland - are showing signs of unrest.
In How Civil Wars Start, acclaimed expert Barbara F. Walter, who has advised on political violence everywhere from the CIA to the U.S. Senate to the United Nations, explains the rise of civil war and the conditions that create it. As democracies across the world backslide and citizens become more polarised, civil wars will become even more widespread and last longer than they have in the past. This urgent and important book shows us a path back toward peace.
