One Night Only
R. ?rajong a szexért. Imádja a nőket, és a nők is imádják őt. Nem hagy ki egyetlen kóbor numerát sem, szakértője a prostituáltaknak, üres perceit pedig szexchattel dobja föl. Szenvedélye tönkreteszi a kapcsolatait és akadályozza a munkájában is, ezért próbál szabadulni tőle. Heti rendszerességgel például csoportterápiára jár, ahol látszólagos sorstársakkal beszéli ki a mindennapok megpróbáltatásait. Amikor meggyilkolják a csoport egyik tagját, a titokzatos R. komoly slamasztikába kerül. Versenyfutásra kényszerül a saját kollégáival és az idővel a gyilkos kézre kerítéséért, és nem utolsósorban azért, hogy kompromittáló életvitelére ne derüljön fény. Emma gyönyörű harmincas, akinek az életét váratlanul romba dönti egy súlyos diagnózis. A betegség érzelmi hullámvasútja olyan világba repíti, ahol azelőtt még álmában sem fordult meg.
Két vadidegen találkozik egy arc nélküli dimenzióban, ahol a legvadabb fantáziák is teret nyerhetnek. Mindkettőjüknek szüksége van a másikra, de a kegyetlen valóság mindent felülírhat. A virtuális világon túl is lehet jövője a kapcsolatuknak? Egy igazi modern románc; szívszorító, kacagtató, akciódús és pikáns – egy jó tollú, jó humorú szerzőtől.

Mistr Jün-men
Čtenáři tohoto vpravdě průkopnického překladu Záznamu o Jün-menovi se ocitnou před tisíci lety v síni tohoto výjimečného čínského čchanového učitele a spolu s jeho žáky mohou směřovat k budoucímu osvícení. Urs App více než deset let studoval životní osudy a myšlení tohoto pozoruhodného čchanového učitele, který je v Japonsku známý pod jménem mistr Ummon. Spolu s dalšími tchangskými zakladateli čchanu byl i mist Jün-men novátorem v zavádění překvapivých a nových přístupů k buddhismu, v nichž se zříkal tradičních proslovů ve prospěch bezprostředních promluv, sarkasmů, výkřiků, klení a příležitostných úderů.Záznamy těchto proslovů různých mistrů utvářejí zenovou tradici a my je známe zprostředkovaně skrze kóanové sbírky, kde Jün-men zaujímá oproti ostatním mistrům výsostné postavení a proto je často citován všemi zenovými učiteli. Rovněž se stal zakladatelem školy Jün-men, jedné z pěti hlavních škol čínského čchanu, z nichž vychází veškerá živá zenová tradice.

Why So Easily ...
Sociologický esej vychází po třech desetiletích od svého vzniku v anglickém vydání. Vypráví příběh o tom, jak despotický socialistický stát v padesátých letech nejprve vyvlastnil rodinu, tedy soukromou sféru života, aby se nakonec dočkal toho, že rodina kolonizovala stát. Přenáší nás do myšlení přelomové doby svého vzniku a přináší stále platná vysvětlení nejníže položených příčin pádu starého režimu, tedy soukromých aspirací a vynucených strategií velmi různých skupin bezejmenných sociálních aktérů starého režimu, těch dole i těch nahoře, které vedly nakonec k tomu, že tu nezbyl téměř nikdo, kdo by měl zájem na jeho dalším udržení.

X-Men: Impérium
Morrisonův apokalyptický příběh se v tomhle díle dočká svého rozuzlení. Mutanti jsou tak blízko svému vyhlazení, jako snad nikdy předtím. Šílená Cassandra má nejen tělo a mozek profesora Xaviera, ale i celou Shi´arskou flotilu na povel. A to už je nějaká síla. Beast je v kómatu a John Sublime a jeho U-Meni jsou čím dál nebezpečnější a mocnější. Prostě jde o kejhák. Grant Morrison dokázal, že zvládá jak psychedelické podivnosti, tak monumentální akční superhrdinské (a taky trochu psychedelické) eposy. Jeho období patří k jedněm z nejslavnějších v dějinách X-Menů... na čemž má zásluhu také precizní kresba Ethana Van Scivera, Franka Quitelyho a dalších.

Eight Men
'All eight men and all eight stories stand as beautifully, pitifully, terribly true... This is fine, sound, good, honorable writing rich with insight and understanding, even when occasionally twisted by sorrow' New York Times
Hunted by the police for a crime he didn't commit, a man turns to the sewers and a life underground. Struggling to get work, another turns to wearing his wife's clothes in a desperate last attempt. Finding himself the object of derision, yet another man buys a gun only to discover its true power.
Here are Richard Wright's stories of eight men - black men, living at violent odds with the white world around them. As suspenseful as they are excoriating, they stand alongside Wright's novels as some of the most powerful depictions of black America in the twentieth century.
Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas
No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited new Why Mummy novel. Mummy is back and feeling festive!
Ellen is planning the perfect Christmas. This year – this year – Christmas will be PERFECT. This is the year when all the dreams come true, the carol singers will carol the Wassail would Wass, or possibly Sail, the children will frolic, the extended family will get on and behave normally and not fall out and just eat the effing mince pies without questioning their organic/ gluten free/ vegan/ fairtrade status. Everyone will be delighted by their thoughtfully chosen presents and not surreptitiously rifle through the wrapping paper looking for the gift receipt, and the dogs will give the impression that Ellen is in charge of them and not the other way around. Everyone will FINALLY say ‘Oh Ellen, this is marvellous. Verily you are the Queen of Christmas’.
This year Christmas will be different.

How Economics Can Save the World
Economics has the power to make the world a better, happier and safer place: this book shows you how
Our world is in a mess. The challenges of climate change, inequality, hunger and a global pandemic mean our way of life seems more imperilled and society more divided than ever; but economics can help!
From parenting to organ donation, housing to anti-social behaviour, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far from being a means to predict the stock market, enrich the elite or track money around the globe, economics provides a lens through which we can better understand how things work, design clever solutions and create the conditions in which we can all flourish.
With a healthy dose of optimism, and packed with stories of economics in everyday situations, Erik Angner demonstrates the methods he and his fellow economists use to help improve the lives of people and the society in which they live. He shows us that economics can be a powerful force for good, awakening the possibility of a happier, more just and more sustainable world.

Human Playground: Why We Play
Why do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, travelling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centred around their games.
Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazare, and many other athletes in these unusual sports. These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play.
Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.
