“Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently. “What Gatsby?” Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago – and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer?

Én, Mátyás király
Gáspár Ferenc legújabb könyvében különleges utazásra invitálja az olvasót: egyes szám első személyben beszélteti hősét, a mindmáig legnépszerűbb magyar uralkodót, Mátyás királyt, mégpedig úgy, hogy időnként magunk sem tudjuk Mátyás-e az, aki mesél nekünk, vagy Lebersit, a király udvari bolondja. Ők ketten ugyanis – akárcsak Arany János vígballadájában, a Pázmán lovagban –, gyakran kicserélik egymást ebben a bűnügyi regényre is hajazó műben.
A szerző megidézi a haldokló Mátyás lelkivilágát, ahogyan cselekedeteinek, döntéseinek mozgatórugóit felfedi, és amikből kiviláglik a nagy király stratégiája, életfilozófiája és életszeretete.
Mindezzel együtt egy izzig-vérig mai történetet olvashatunk, egy olyan regényt, melyben a főhős ugyanolyan magányos döntéseiben, akárcsak a ma embere.
Az Én, Mátyás király nem folytatása a korábbi műveknek – Janus, Galeotto –, ám azoknak a regényeknek a szereplői szintén feltűnnek a regényben.
S ha a Galeotto, Berka Attila, a könyv szerkesztője szerint a szerző lírai ars poeticája, akkor az Én, Mátyás király annál inkább az.

Daisy Jones a The Six
Fascinujúci román o sláve, láske, hudbe a o tom, čo sa stane, keď sa šťastie pominie a zhasnú reflektory. Daisy Jones & The Six je príbeh raketového vzostupu rockovej kapely, ktorej hudba charakterizovala jednu éru a ktorej náhly rozpad vyvolal množstvo nezodpovedaných otázok. Pripravte sa na bláznivý, nezabudnuteľný výlet do Los Angeles 70. rokov, sex, drogy a rock and roll!
Len čo sa úspešná rocková kapela The Six spojila so začínajúcou speváčkou Daisy Jonesovou, vypuklo hotové šialenstvo. Ich piesne ovládli hitparády, ich albumy zneli z každého gramofónu, ich koncerty po celej krajine boli beznádejne vypredané. A potom, 12. júla 1979, sa z ničoho nič rozpadli.
Nikto netušil prečo. Až doteraz.
Ich vzťahy boli divoké rovnako ako ich hudba – boli priateľmi, milencami, bratmi aj rivalmi. Sami neverili tomu, aké mali šťastie, kým oň neprišli. Táto kniha zachytáva príbeh ich začiatkov i búrlivých nocí, ale každý z nich si pravdu pamätá trochu inak. Jediné, čo všetci vedia s istotou, je fakt, že od chvíle, keď Daisy Jones bosá vystúpila na pódium v klube Whisky, kapela sa navždy zmenila. Pri tvorbe hudby totiž nikdy nejde iba o hudbu. A niekedy môže byť veľmi ťažké určiť, kde sa končí melódia a začínajú sa city.
