This Side of Paradise (EN)
Audiobook This Side of Paradise written by Francis Scott Fitzgerald. First published in 1920, This Side of Paradise proved to be a best-selling novel in Fitzgerald’s own lifetime. The book follows the early life and education of Amory Blaine and is, in fact, a thinly disguised account of Fitzgerald’s own experience as an undergraduate at Princeton and as an aspiring writer.

Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city, a grisly metropolis where the violence has begun to create real and deadly monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the inhabitants pay for his protection. August just wants to be human, as good-hearted as his own father-but his curse is to be what the humans fear. The thin truce that keeps the Harker and Flynn families at peace is crumbling, and an assassination attempt forces Kate and August into a tenuous alliance. But how long will they survive in a city where no one is safe and monsters are real...

Enigma
Lena nem tudja, de rendkívüli képességgel rendelkezik: ő egy érző.
Ha megérint valamit, zavaros képeket lát, furcsa álmok lepik meg, és megsúgnak múltat, jelent, jövőt. De nem hallgat az ösztöneire, így a szülei meghalnak.
Túl lehet élni, ha a szeretteid miattad nincsenek? Lena sosem látott nagybátyjához költözik, miközben fuldokol a bűntudattól.
Mélyen magába zárja fájdalmat, amely fokozatosan felemészti. Megtagadja magától az érintés melegét is, nehogy még több emberbe belelásson, és az őrületbe sodródjon, mint néhány őse.
Ám jön egy különös fiú. És egy még különösebb nagybáty. Lena ráébred, hogy rokona házában menedékre lel, és arra is, hogy a képessége nem átok, hanem áldás.
De mit érez Alex iránt? A fiú folyton felkavarja, hol dühíti, hol vágyakozik utána. Lena nem tud mit kezdeni ezzel a kapcsolattal.
Csakhogy történik valami: egy kisfiú sikolya töri meg az erdő csendjét. Lena iszonyúan fél, de elhatározza, soha többé nem hagyja, hogy a szeretteit baj érje. Ha kell, a saját élete árán is megvédi az övéit...

Get ready for a night like no other . . .
Within days of wishing she could change her life, Fran Cooper is working for a celebrity, on a yacht, and en route to a tiny Italian island and the glittering Crystal Ball.
When she - quite literally - bumps into a handsome American called Evan the magic really begins. He makes her a promise: no last names, no life stories, just one unforgettable night.
But Evan belongs at the ball and Fran is a gatecrasher. Their lives are a world apart - unless, on a night like this, everything can change forever...
This Is Your Mind On Plants
THE INSPIRATION FOR THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
'It's a trip - engrossing, eye-opening, mind altering' New Statesman
'Fascinating. Pollan is the perfect guide ... curious, careful, open minded' The Guardian
Of all the many things humans rely on plants for, surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate, calm, or completely alter the qualities of our mental experience. In This Is Your Mind On Plants, Michael Pollan explores three very different drugs - opium, caffeine and mescaline - and throws the fundamental strangeness of our thinking about them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures that have grown up around these drugs, while consuming (or in the case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants, and the equally powerful taboos.
In a unique blend of history, science, memoir and reportage, Pollan shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too often treated reductively. In doing so, he proves that there is much more to say about these plants than simply debating their regulation, for when we take them into our bodies and let them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the most profound ways we can. This ground-breaking and singular book holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds and our entanglement with the natural world.

How Did We Get Into This Mess?
Where have we gone wrong, and what can we do about it?
George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do.
While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.
Clarke Vince - Songs Of Silence CD
Vince Clarke, ikona synthpopovej éry ako prvý skladateľ Depeche Mode, Yazoo a takmer 40 rokov súčasťou dua Erasure, sa vydáva na novú cestu so svojím vôbec prvým sólovým albumom, odhaľuje pozoruhodný nový aspekt svojej hudobnej brilantnosti s albumom "Songs of Silence". V tomto projekte Clarke skúma nedotknutú cestu ambientnej elektronickej krásy, výrazne sa odchyľuje od svojho slávneho elektropopového dedičstva, aby vytvoril album, ktorý stojí v jeho vlastnej ríši. V skladbe „Songs of Silence“ ste pozvaní zažiť zvukovú scénu, ktorá je bohato sugestívna a zároveň neobsahuje texty. Album preukazuje číre majstrovstvo nad zvoleným médiom a evokuje kozmickú odľahlosť prostredníctvom príbehov vytvorených syntetizátorom, ktoré hlboko rezonujú v ich tichu. Clarke si pri tvorbe tohto albumu osvojil prísny, no inšpirovaný prístup, pričom sa držal dvoch základných pravidiel, ktoré by riadili podstatu tohto projektu. Po prvé, zvuková tapiséria tkaná celým albumom vychádza výlučne zo zvukov generovaných Eurorackom, modulárnym syntetizátorovým formátom, ktorý sa objavil v polovici 90. rokov. Po druhé, každá skladba sa odvíja okolo jedinej, rezonančnej noty, pričom zachováva súdržný kľúč, ktorý skladbu spája v harmonickej jednote. Výsledné kompozície zapuzdrujú príbehy bez slov, ktoré lákajú poslucháčov do ríše pohlcujúceho pokoja, prerušovaného výraznými zásahmi, ktoré slúžia ako dojímavá pripomienka ľudského dotyku, ktorý riadi túto hudobnú odyseu.

This Place is Still Beautiful
Two sisters. A shocking racist incident. The summer that will change both of their lives forever.
Annalie and Margaret are sisters who agree on only one thing: that they have nothing in common.
Annalie is seventeen: sweet, content, and looking forward to a summer of flirting with the most popular boy in school.
Margaret is nineteen: ambitious, a warrior for social justice, and desperate to forget her ex-boyfriend in New York City.
When their family is the victim of a racial attack, Annalie tries to pretend it never happened - but Margaret wants to fight back. Suddenly their relationship - and all the ones around them - are hanging by a thread. And then a crushing secret threatens to tear them apart forever . . .
A beautiful and powerful story about family, identity and the secrets we keep, perfect for fans of Angie Thomas, Nicola Yoon, and Adam Silvera.
It Gets Me Home, This Curving Track
When all else fails, when our compass is broken, there is one thing some of us have come to rely on: music really can give us a sense of something like home. With It Gets Me Home, This Curving Track, legendary music critic Ian Penman reaches for a vanished moment in musical history when cultures collided and a certain kind of cross-generational and 'cross-colour' awareness was born. His cast of characters includes the Mods, James Brown, Charlie Parker, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Fahey, Steely Dan and Prince - black artists who were innovators, and white musicians who copied them for the mainstream.
In 'prose that glides and shimmies and pivots on risky metaphors, low puns and highbrow reference points' (Brian Dillon, frieze), Ian Penman's first book in twenty years is cause for celebration.
No One Is Talking About This
This is a story about a life lived in two halves.
It's about what happens when real life collides with the increasing absurdity of a world accessed through a screen.
It's about living in world that contains both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.
It's a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.
This Is How You Fall In Love
Zara and Adnan are just friends. Always have been, always will be. Even if they have to pretend to be girlfriend and boyfriend...
Zara loves love in all forms: 90s romcoms and romance novels and grand sweeping gestures. And she's desperate to have her own great love story. Crucially, a real one. So when her best friend Adnan begs her to pretend to date him to cover up his new top-secret relationship, Zara is hesitant. This isn't the kind of thing she had in mind. But there's something in it for Zara too: making her parents, who love Adnan, happy might just stop them arguing for a while. She may not be getting her own love story, but she could save theirs.
So Zara agrees and the act begins: after all, how different can pretending to be in a relationship with your best friend be to just hanging around with them like usual? Turns out, a lot. With fake dating comes fake hand-holding and fake kissing and real feelings... And when a new boy turns up in Zara's life, things get more confusing than ever.
The course of true love never did run smooth, but Zara's love story is messier than most...
A hilarious and heartfelt romcom, told with a light touch, perfect for fans of TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE, EXCUSE ME WHILE I UGLY CRY and HANI AND ISHU'S GUIDE TO FAKE DATING.
