inkling that the tall, red-haired girl whom he has asked for directions will haunt him for the rest of his life.John Moody takes Arlyn to live in a house made of glass, the Glass Slipper. Her life there is not the romantic destiny she envisaged. She
dreams of escape for herself and her children, Sam and Blanca, but her eventual escape, too, is not the one she dreamed of...Years later, Arlyn is gone, and Meredith Weiss arrives at the Moody house. Sam, now a teenager, is careening down a path of
drug-fuelled self-destruction, while John Moody is tormented by visions of a red-haired woman in white. Meredith sets out to try to save this troubled family. But will her devotion be enough to pull them back from the fate they seem to have chosen fo
r themselves? Glass breaks, love hurts, and families make their own rules and have their own secrets. Told with Alice Hoffmans signature grace and originality, SKYLIGHT CONFESSIONS is a shimmering, powerful story of passion, heartbreak and families.A

A fekete város
Eraszt Fandorin legújabb kalandja 1914 nyarán veszi kezdetét, mikor is a zseniális nyomozót csúnyán cserbenhagyja korábbi legendás szerencséje: egy jaltai "rutinmunka" (a cár elleni soros gyilkosságkísérlet leleplezése) alkalmával önkéntelenül egy agyafúrt politikai merénylet tétlen mellékszereplőjévé válik. A hatvanadik évéhez közeledő volt államtanácsos nem nyugszik bele hírnevének megtépázásába, és Maszával, hűséges inasával a titokzatos elkövető, egy Odüsszeusz fedőnevű anarchista után eredve Bakuba utazik.
Ám eközben váratlanul meghal Ferenc Ferdinánd, és a személyes bosszúhadjárat egy nemzetközi konfliktus megakadályozásának kulcsfontosságú epizódjává fokozódik. Vérbő küzdelmek és hatalmi intrikák közepette lépnek új ellenfelek és segítőtársak a sodró lendületű, könnyed izgalmak és remek humor jellemezte történet színpadára, miközben Fandorin - ahogyan azt tőle már megszokhattuk - ebben a kiélezett történelmi szituációban sem tud közömbös maradni a női nem iránt: küldetése során egy tekintélyes muzulmán özvegy kérlelhetetlen vágyaival is meg kell küzdenie.
Úgy tűnik azonban, hogy ezúttal a tévedhetetlen detektív minden erőfeszítése hiábavalónak bizonyul, ahogyan a félig keleti, félig európai, mindenestül az olajnak alárendelt városra egyre vészjóslóbb árnyékot vet a világháborúba és forradalomba sodródó Oroszország eljövendő tragédiája.
A fekete város nemcsak a méltán népszerű Fandorin-sorozat egyik legfordulatosabb része, hanem egyúttal - ahogyan azt a cím is sejteti - talán legsötétebb darabja is. Borisz Akunyin magával ragadó regénye egy olyan kaotikus korszak beköszöntéről tudósít, amelyben a józan logikára támaszkodva már egyre kevésbé lehet eligazodni, és amelynek őrületében bárkinek könnyedén nyoma veszhet - akár az Orosz Birodalom legyőzhetetlen nyomozójának is.

The Last Four Things
The Last Four Things is the second in Paul Hoffman's remarkable series.
Death, Judgement, Heaven and Hell
These are the Last Four Things
Now there are Five
Meet Thomas Cale
Returning to the Sanctuary of the Redeemers, Thomas Cale is told by the Lord Militant that the destruction of mankind is necessary; the only way to undo God's greatest mistake.
Cale seemingly accepts his role in the ending of the world: fate has painted him as the Left Hand of God, the Angel of Death. Absolute power is within his grasp, the terrifying zeal and military might of the Redeemers a weapon for him to handle as simply as he once used a knife.
But perhaps not even the grim power that the Redeemers hold over Cale is enough - the boy who turns from love to poisonous hatred in a heartbeat, the boy who switches between kindness and sheer violence in the blink of an eye. The annihilation that the Redeemers seek may well be in Cale's hands - but his soul is far stranger than they could ever know.
The Last Four Things follows on from The Left Hand of God. It is the second instalment in a gripping trilogy by Paul Hoffman. Imagine if Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials met Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose. Fans of epic heroic fiction will love this series.
Az örökkévalóság küszöbén - Évszázad-trilógia 3.
A VÉRES ÉS GYÖNYÖRŰ HUSZADIK SZÁZAD TÖRTÉNETE ÚGY, AHOGY AZT CSAK KEN FOLLETT TUDJA ELMESÉLNI
Az Évszázad-trilógia öt család – egy amerikai, egy angol, egy walesi, egy német és egy orosz – történetét mutatja be a 20. században.
A harmadik kötet a hidegháború, az 1960-as és az 1980-as évek közötti időszak hatalmas szociális, politikai és gazdasági változásait mutatja be: a polgárjogi mozgalmakat az USA-ban, a politikai gyilkosságokat, a vietnami háború elleni tiltakozásokat, a berlini fal felhúzását és lebontását, az atomcsendegyezményt, a gorbacsovi peresztrojkát és természetesen a rock and roll és a beat nemzedékét.
Rebecca Hoffmann, a Kelet-Berlinben élő Von Ulrich család adoptált gyermeke rájön, hogy egy Stasi-ügynökhöz ment feleségül. A férfinak az volt a feladata, hogy a nagypolgári családot figyelje. Csodával határos módon az asszonynak sikerül átszöknie a falon, és Hamburgban kezd új életet…
George Jakes, a félvér jogász Robert F. Kennedy csapatához kerül az Igazságügyi Minisztériumba, és belecsöppen a polgárjogi mozgalmak kellős közepébe…
Cameron Dewar, a szenátor unokája a republikánusok oldalán a Watergate-ügy egyik ötletadója és kivitelezője lesz…
Gyimka Dvorkin Moszkvában Nyikita Hruscsov személyi titkáraként kezdi politikusi karrierjét, így a leszerelési tárgyalások, a csehszlovákiai bevonulás aktív résztvevője. Újságíró ikertestvére, Tánya révén kapcsolatba kerül a másként gondolkodókkal…
A fantasztikusan eleven történeti háttér előtt a szereplők rengeteg izgalmas világesemény résztvevői, nagyszerű karriert futnak be, magánéletükben azonban sokkal kevésbé sikeresek: gyakran több évtized múltán ismerik fel, hogy ki is az igazi társuk.
Ken Follett sodró lendületű cselekményeken keresztül egy olyan világba vezet bennünket, amelyről azt gondoljuk, hogy ismerjük, hiszen átéltük, s most mégis másképpen látjuk.

The Cubist Cosmos - From Picasso to Leger
The Cubist Cosmos traces the development of Cubism between 1907 and 1917. The publication reveals the boundless innovative power of the works of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It also shows how the Cubist pictorial language was received and advanced by the artists of the Parisian avant-garde - such as Fernand Leger and Sonia Delaunay - and how it evolved into colourful large-format pictures. The volume reflects not only the enormous range of this stylistic direction but also its revolutionary potential, which went on to influence the further development of twentieth-century art.
In chronologically and thematically devised chapters the publication shows how the influence of folk art and archaic sculpture as well as the works of Paul Cezanne initially became increasingly evident in the paintings of Picasso and Braque. From 1908 crystalline, geometric elements as it were, appear. Until 1911 the characteristic prismatically fragmented forms and an almost colourless austerity dominated. The new pictorial language was taken up by artists like Juan Gris, Fernand Leger, Robert and Sonia Delaunay and Henri Le Fauconnier, who developed and presented it in large formats in the Salon exhibitions of the Paris art world.

Decadence and Dark Dreams: Belgian Symbolism
Sensuousness, magic, a profound momentousness and irrationality are the hallmarks of the new art movement of Belgian Symbolism, which emerged during the 1880s. From Georg Minne and Fe licien Rops to Fernand Khnopff and James Ensor, the portraits, figure paintings and landscapes revealed a fascination with the eerie and the nefarious, with Thanatos und Eros. The remarkable feature of Belgian Symbolism is its predilection for the morbid and the bizarre.
Death and decay became leitmotifs in art. In around 1900, artists tried to link a new mysticism with an extravagant and precious style. The central figure in this context was the femme fatale as an expression of excess and lust, often paired with echoes of the esoteric and the demonic.
Many stimuli for European Symbolism had their origins in Belgium. This wide-ranging and lavishly illustrated volume examines this phenomenon.

Seen Behind the Scene
Since the 1960s Mary Ellen Mark has worked on over 100 film sets as what the film studios call a 'special stills photographer', making thousands of documentary photographs of life behind the scenes, rather than the conventional still photographs made of actors on camera. This exciting book presents the best of her images ranging from the first films that Mark shot in the 1960s such as "Fellini's Satyricon", to legendary 1970s productions like Francis Ford Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and Milos Forman's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", as well as films from the ensuing decades that range from "Network" to "Tootsie", from "Gandhi" to "Showgirls". She continues to work on film sets and over the last decade has photographed recent Oscar-winning productions such as Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge", Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "Babel" and Tim Burton's "Sweeney Todd".Over her career, Mark has been given unprecedented access to the film sets she has worked on, roaming freely among cast and directors, and photographing in make-up, during rehearsals, on the set and off the set to provide a full picture of life behind the scenes. Her experience over the last forty years reveals much about the changes in film-making. She recalls in her introduction how she loved to photograph the director's reaction and interaction during rehearsal when he was behind the camera; but now in contemporary film-making the director is nowhere near the camera, but rather in front of a video monitor away from the set. Her iconic 1960s portraits of Fellini behind his camera fix this moment in film history and are evidence of the changes in technology. Mark's 1960s, 1970s and 1980s portraits also reveal the changing nature of celebrity.When she first started working she would be just another person on set with full access to every cast member and every set. Now with the massive power and impact of celebrity it has become more difficult for photographers to work on set, when actors are constantly surrounded by their entourage of publicists and agents and have their schedules carefully planned with every minute accounted for. In this current climate Mark's more recent, candid pictures of major celebrities such as Cate Blanchett, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Nicole Kidman are rare and particularly special.This book includes beautiful and engaging portraits, documentary pictures that reveal the way a film is made, dramatic moments in direction and filming, and amusing pictures that reveal the camaraderie on set - such as Henry Fonda making faces behind Katharine Hepburn, well-known prankster Jack Nicholson turning Stockard Channing upside down, and Dustin Hoffman causing a lot of amusement in his female costume in between scenes on "Tootsie". The text for the book comes from a number of high profile actors, directors and film industry professionals who complete this picture of life 'behind the scenes' by sharing their anecdotes and thoughts about their profession.

Berlin Alexanderplatz
The great novel of 1920s Berlin life, in a new translation by Michael Hofmann, translator of Alone in Berlin
Franz Biberkopf is back on the streets of Berlin. Determined to go straight after a stint in prison, he finds himself thwarted by an unpredictable external agency that looks an awful lot like fate. Cheated, humiliated, thrown from a moving car; embroiled in an underworld of pimps, thugs, drunks and prostitutes, Franz picks himself up over and over again - until one day he is struck a monstrous blow which might just prove his final downfall.
A dazzling collage of newspaper reports, Biblical stories, drinking songs and urban slang, Berlin Alexanderplatz is the great novel of Berlin life: inventing, styling and recreating the city as reality and dream; mimicking its movements and rhythms; immortalizing its pubs, abattoirs, apartments and chaotic streets. From the gutter to the stars, this is the whole picture of the city.
Berlin Alexanderplatz brought fame in 1929 to its author Alfred Döblin, until then an impecunious writer and doctor in a working-class neighbourhood in the east of Berlin. Success at home was short-lived, however; Doblin, a Jew, left Germany the day after the Reichstag Fire in 1933, and did not return until 1945. This landmark translation by Michael Hofmann is the first to do justice to Berlin Alexanderplatz in English, brilliantly capturing the energy, prodigality and inventiveness of Döblin's masterpiece.

Milujte se a množte se. Aneb... jak to všechno začalo.
Vypráví Jan Werich
V Písmu svatém se praví, že na počátku všeho života na Zemi byla tma a Pánbůh. V případě slavného česko-francouzského animovaného snímku z roku 1957 spíše dobrácký stařeček, který si se svými třemi věrnými pomocníky – andělíčky, stanoví šestidenní plán na vytvoření vesmíru, slunce a hvězd, Země, vody, rostlin, zvířat a nakonec i člověka. Do práce se mu však neustále plete zlomyslný a všetečný ďábel, který kazí, co se jen dá… “Budiž světlo” - praví Pánbůh ústy vypravěče Jana Wericha, netušíc, že Stvoření světa, natočené podle seriálů francouzského karikaturisty Jeana Effela, se stane jedním z nejkrásnějších animovaných filmů české kinematografie, který baví diváky i vice než 50 let od svého vzniku.

Charlotte Perriand
Charlotte Perriand was one of great designers of the twentieth century. A pioneer of modernism, her work was often overshadowed by her more famous male collaborators, who included Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Jean Prouve. However, in recent years her reputation as a furniture designer and architect has matched the stature of her peers - her furniture in particular has become highly prized by collectors. From the 1920s onwards, Perriand was instrumental in bringing the modernist aesthetic to interiors. But she also believed in the synthesis of the arts and was friends with visual artists such as Pablo Picasso and Fernand Leger. This book will explore Perriand's journey from the machine aesthetic to her adoption of natural forms, and from modular furniture systems to major architectural projects such as Les Arcs ski resort. Featuring some of her most famous interiors, as well as her original furniture, her photography and her personal notebooks, this book sheds new light on Perriand's creative process and her place in design history. It will accompany the forthcoming Design Museum exhibition of the same title, which will coincide with the twenty-fifth anniversary of Perriand's last significant presentation in London, held at the Design Museum in 1996.

Irreplaceable
All across the world, irreplaceable habitats are under threat. Unique ecosystems of plants and animals are being destroyed by human intervention. From the tiny to the vast, from marshland to meadow, and from Kent to Glasgow to India to America, they are disappearing.
Irreplaceable is not only a love letter to the haunting beauty of these landscapes and the wild species that call them home, including nightingales, lynxes, hornbills, redwoods and elephant seals, it is also a timely reminder of the vital connections between humans and nature, and all that we stand to lose in terms of wonder and wellbeing. This is a book about the power of resistance in an age of loss; a testament to the transformative possibilities that emerge when people come together to defend our most special places and wildlife from extinction.
Exploring treasured coral reefs and remote mountains, tropical jungle and ancient woodland, urban allotments and tallgrass prairie, Julian Hoffman traces the stories of threatened places around the globe through the voices of local communities and grassroots campaigners as well as professional ecologists and academics. And in the process, he asks what a deep emotional relationship with place offers us - culturally, socially and psychologically. In this rigorous, intimate and impassioned account, he presents a powerful call to arms in the face of unconscionable natural destruction.

We Are the Nerds
Reddit hails itself as 'the front page of the Internet'. It's the sixth most-visited website in the world -- and yet, millions have no idea what it is. They should be paying attention.
We Are the Nerds takes readers inside this captivating, maddening enterprise, whose army of obsessed users have been credited with everything from solving crimes and spurring millions in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and even landing Donald Trump in the White House. Reddit has become a mirror of the Internet itself: It has dark trenches, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a heart-warming ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
This is the gripping story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, transformed themselves from student video-gamers into Silicon Valley millionaires as they turned their creation into an icon of the digital age. But the journey was often fraught. Reporting on Reddit for more than six years, conducting hundreds of interviews and gaining exclusive access to its founders, Christine Lagorio-Chafkin has written the definitive account of the birth and life of Reddit. Packed with revelatory details about its biggest triumphs and controversies, this inside look at Reddit includes fresh insights on the relationship between Huffman and Ohanian, staff turmoil, the tragic life of Aaron Swartz, and Reddit's struggle to become profitable.
In a time when we are increasingly concerned about privacy and manipulation on social platforms, We Are the Nerds reveals Reddit's central role in the dissemination of culture and information in history's first fully digital century. Rigorously reported and highly entertaining, We Are the Nerds explores how this unique platform has changed the way we all communicate today.
Camino- A lélek utazása
Shirley MacLaine csaknem három évtizede kezdett merész vállalkozásában, hogy megossza olvasóival a világ spirituális értelmezése terén szerzett tapasztalatait. Mondanivalójának elevenségét és érdekességét bizonyítja, hogy sikerkönyvei - Találd meg önmagad, Játék az élet, Benső útjaimon - a mai napig számtalan olvasót vonzanak. Legújabb könyve, a Camino minden eddiginél különlegesebb. Egy utazás történetét mondja el: két névtelen, kézírásos levéllel kezdődött, melyek arra ösztönözték Shirley-t, hogy járja végig a Santiago de Compostela-i zarándokutat. A történet során számtalan híres zarándok érkezett ide egész Európából. Ez egy ősi - és a hagyomány szerint varázslatos - zarándokút. Assisi Szent Ferenctől és Nagy Károlytól kezdve Ferdinánd királyon és Izabella királynőn át Dantéig és Chaucer-ig sokan vállalkoztak a cskanem 500 mérföldes út megtételére. Shirley számára a Camino nem csak szellemi, de fizikai kihívást is jelentett. Valóban rendkívüli teljesítmény egy hatvanas éveiben járó nő részéről, hogy napi húsz mérföldet gyalogolva harminc nap alatt teljesíti az erőt próbáló feladatot. Ám még ennél is meghökkentőbb a szellemben és lélekben megtett út, amely évezredekkel korábbra, elmúlt életeken át nyúlik vissza egészen az univerzum keletkezéséig. A rendkívüli intelligenciával, kíváncsisággal és melegséggel megáldott, s az önnön tapasztalati körén kívül eső emberek és helyek iránt kivételesen nyitott Shirley MacLaine írása az elme és a szív páratlan képességeit türközi. A Camino titokzatos energiája révén megmutatkozó felismerések mérlegelése és boncolgatása közepette végigjárja a Compostelába vezető utat, amely fokozatosan egyetemes úttá, a lélek utazásává alakul. Lélegzetelállító látomások és felismerések segítségével Shirley megérti a világegyetem jelentését, benne Atlantisz és Lemúria ősi civilizációjának titkait, bepillantást nyer az emberi genezisbe, a nemi különbségek és a szexualitás lényegébe, meglátja a magasabb szintű szeretet ösvényét.
