Lacná kniha Állj félre a saját utadból! - Hozd ki az életedből mindazt, ami benne van! (-70%)
"Mindannyian kizárólag saját magunk állunk az áhított boldog élet elérésének útjában. Ahhoz, hogy ki tudjuk hozni az életünkből mindazt, ami benne van, arra van szükség, hogy igazán megismerjük, megértsük, és megszeressük saját magunkat. Ez a kulcs!
Megdöbbentő számomra, hogy milyen sok ember hazudik magának, és tagadja, hogy a kisebbségi érzés és az önutálat dolgozik benne. Pedig ha valakivel igazán őszintének kell lennünk, akkor saját magunkkal. A tagadástól egyáltalán nem oldódik meg a helyzet, sőt. A tagadás olyan, mintha leragasztanánk egy üres üzemanyagtankot jelző mutatót egy smiley-val...
A könyvben a száraz elmélet helyett sok esetben személyes történeteimen, példáimon keresztül mutatom be azokat a gyakorlati módszereket, amelyek, - ha alkalmazod őket! - a segítségedre lesznek abban, hogy igazán boldog lehess a saját bőrödben, és valóban élvezd az életed! Kívánom, hogy Állj félre a saját utadból!, és hozd ki az életedből mindazt, ami benne van!

Sandra Müller, Dog People
What dog owner hasn't done this? You anthropomorphize your four-legged friend, put thoughts and feelings into his or her head that he or she almost certainly doesn't have, and basically turn your pet into a four-legged person. That is exactly how photographer Sandra Muller feels about her dog Maja-who inspired Dog People-the book that provides hilarious and creative photographic answers to the question: "What kind of person would this dog be?" Whether it's Great Dane Holly as a couch potato or "Gismo" riding a Harley, these images and more make up the unforgettable and endearing collection of portraits of man's best friend in Dog People.
"No, this book is not meant to be a fashion show for dogs and dog owners. This book is simply a thought experiment: what kind of person would my dog be? And let's be honest: who hasn't given his or her dog a lengthy explanation which the dog seems to listen to raptly but surely doesn't understand every word of? Yes, yes, I know...YOUR dog understands every word! So does mine!" (Sandra Muller, photographer/author of Dog People)
The book is a colorful parade of dogs, from Giant Schnauzers to Pugs, from registered purebreds to street mutts. There is also a humorous description of each dog explaining how the outfit was chosen to make the particular animal a Dog Man or Dog Lady. For example, take "Gisbert," a Pug who would surely be a doctor if he were human-as he loves his vet so much that all you have to do is say "Dr. Uwe" and he pricks his ears-as much as any Pug can prick his ears, at least.
Dog People shows us 83 wonderful dog portraits - from a purebred Standard Schnauzer to a street mutt - and a panoply of human characters.

And Then There Were None - The World's Favourite Agatha Christie Book
The book that topped the international online poll held in Agatha Christie's 125th birthday year to discover which of her 80 crime books was the world's favourite. 1939. Europe teeters on the brink of war. Ten strangers are invited to Soldier Island, an isolated rock near the Devon coast. Cut off from the mainland, with their generous hosts Mr and Mrs U.N. Owen mysteriously absent, they are each accused of a terrible crime. When one of the party dies suddenly they realise they may be harbouring a murderer among their number. The 10 strangers include a reckless playboy, a troubled Harley Street doctor, a formidable judge, an uncouth detective, an unscrupulous mercenary, a God-fearing spinster, two restless servants, a highly decorated general and an anxious secretary. One by one they are picked off. Who will survive? And who is the killer? Copies of an ominous nursery rhyme hang in each room, the murders mimicking the awful fates of its 'Ten Little Soldier Boys'. The clear winner in an international online poll held to discover the world's favourite Agatha Christie book, this new paperback also coincides with a new 3-part BBC TV adaptation featuring a stellar ensemble cast: Douglas Booth, Charles Dance, Maeve Dermody, Burn Gorman, Anna Maxwell Martin, Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Toby Stephens, Noah Taylor and Aidan Turner.

Curiosities of Literature
How much heavier was Thackeray's brain than Walt Whitman's? Which novels do American soldiers read? When did cigarettes start making an appearance in English literature? And, while we're about it, who wrote the first Western, is there any link between asthma and literary genius, and what really happened on Dorothea's wedding night in Middlemarch?
In Curiosities of Literature, John Sutherland contemplates the full import of questions such as these, and attempts a few answers in a series of essays that are both witty and eclectic. His approach is also unashamedly discursive. An account of the fast-working Mickey Spillane, for example, leads to a consideration of the substances, both legal and illegal, that authors have employed to boost their creative energies. An essay on good and bad handwriting points out in passing that Thackeray could write the Lord's Prayer on the back of a stamp. As for Mary Shelley, a brief recital of the circumstances in which she wrote Frankenstein stops off to consider what impact the miserable summer weather of 1816 had on the future path of English literature.
Of course, it is debatable whether knowledge of these arcane topics adds to the wisdom of nations, but it does highlight the random pleasures to be found in reading literature and reading about it. As John Sutherland rightly asks, 'Why else read?'

Air and Dreams - An Essay on the Imagination of Movement
Air and Dreams: An Essay on the Imagination of Movement - by Gaston Bachelard Trans. Edith and Frederick Farrell. Bachelard uses his extensive knowledge of the poetry of Poe, Blake, Shelley, and Nietzsche to amplify the images of the airy elements. THE BACHELARD TRANSLATIONS are the inspiration of Joanne H. Stroud, Director of Publications for The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, who in 1981 contracted with Jose Corti to publish in English the untranslated works of Bachelard on the imagination. Gaston Bachelard is acclaimed as one of the most significant modern French thinkers. From 1929 to 1962 he authored twenty-three books addressing his dual concerns, the philosophy of science and the analysis of the imagination of matter. The influence of his thought can be felt in all disciplines of the humanities - art, architecture, literature, language, poetics, philosophy, and depth psychology. His teaching career included posts at the College de Bar-sur-Aube, the University of Dijon, and from 1940 to 1962 the chair of history and philosophy of science at the Sorbonne. One of the amphitheaters of the Sorbonne is called "L'Amphi Gaston Bachelard," an honor Bachelard shared with Descartes and Richelieu. He received the Grand Prix National Lettres in 1961-one of only three philosophers ever to have achieved this honor. The influence of his thought can be felt in all disciplines of the humanities-art, architecture, literature, poetics, psychology, philosophy, and language."
The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
This revised and expanded edition of Tolkien's own Hobbit-inspired poetry includes previously unpublished poems and notes, and is beautifully illustrated by Narnia artist Pauline Baynes. 'Here is something that no devotee of the Hobbit epic can afford to miss, while awaiting a further instalment of the history of these fascinating people - a selection [of verses] offered as an 'interim report' to those interested in Hobbit-lore, and to any others who may find amusement in this mixed bag of old confections.' One of the most intriguing characters in The Lord of the Rings, the amusing and enigmatic Tom Bombadil, also appears in verses said to have been written by Hobbits and preserved in the 'Red Book' with stories of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins and their friends. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil collects these and other poems, mainly concerned with legends and jests of the Shire at the end of the Third Age. This special edition has been expanded to include earlier versions of some of Tolkien's poems, a fragment of a prose story with Tom Bombadil, and comprehensive notes by acclaimed Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond
Csapda
Madame Osztrakovát, egy Párizsban élő orosz emigránst felkeresi a szovjet követség egyik embere, és olyan lehetőséget ajánl az asszonynak, amely túl szép ahhoz, hogy igaz legyen. Pár nappal később holtan találnak egy londoni parkban egy idős férfit, aki egykoron a szovjetellenes disszidensek vezetője volt. Látszólag két jelentéktelen, távoli esemény, de nem George Smiley szemében, aki német klasszikus szerzők tanulmányozásával tölti nyugdíjas napjait, és amikor alaposabban szemügyre veszi a történteket, olyasmire bukkan, amit el sem mer hinni. Elkezdi felfejteni a titkolózás finomszövésű szövetét, közben pedig lassan és nagyon precízen csapdát állít annak az embernek, aki az életét tette fel arra, hogy megsemmisítse az angol titkosszolgálatot, és kicsi híján sikerrel is járt. Smiley még egyszer utoljára összehívja az embereit, a legjobb embereit, hogy végleg leszámoljon Karlával, a szovjet hírszerzés legendás kulcsfigurájával, akiről kiderül: mégis van sebezhető pontja. A "Csapda" megjelenésével végre teljessé válik magyarul is John le Carré mesterműve, a Karla-trilógia, amely a kortárs angol irodalom egyik ékköve és a kémregények legjobbika.

Suszter, szabó, baka, kém
Az angol hírszerzés legfelsőbb soraiban egy áruló rejtőzik, egy beépített ügynök, aki magának Karlának, a szovjet kémfőnöknek jelent. Amit az áruló tud, tudja Karla is. A Körönd legféltettebb titkait. A beépített és alvóügynökök nevét és címét. Mindent. És hogy teljes legyen a kép, Karla az ügynökén keresztül gondosan kiválogatott, meg- vagy átírt információkat juttat el az angoloknak, akik ezekkel a kémjelentésekkel próbálják megerősíteni a pozíciójukat az amerikaiaknál. A legtöbben azt sem hajlandóak elismerni, hogy baj van. A legtöbben még csak bele sem mernek gondolni abba, hogy az áruló révén Karla minden egyes lépésükről tud. A legtöbbek szerint minden a legnagyobb rendben van. Kivéve George Smiley-t, a csendes, kövérkés és nyugdíjas egykori hírszerzőt, aki állhatatos munkával, buldogkitartással és legendássá vált kihallgatási technikájával csapdát állít a soraikba férkőzött szovjet kémnek, és rajta keresztül Karlának, örök ellenfelének, a titokzatos szovjet kémfőnöknek. A legendás regényből készült nagysikerű film George Smiley szerepében Gary Oldmannel hamarosan a magyar mozikban is nagy sikert aratott.

The Pigeon Tunnel
THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER 'Out of the secret world I once knew, I have tried to make a theatre for the larger worlds we inhabit. First comes the imagining, then the search for reality. Then back to the imagining, and to the desk where I'm sitting now.' From his years serving in British Intelligence during the Cold War, to a career as a writer that took him from war-torn Cambodia to Beirut on the cusp of the 1982 Israeli invasion, to Russia before and after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, John le Carre has always written from the heart of modern times. In this, his first memoir, le Carre is as funny as he is incisive - reading into the events he witnesses the same moral ambiguity with which he imbues his novels.Whether he's writing about the parrot at a Beirut hotel that could perfectly mimic machine gun fire, or visiting Rwanda's museums of the unburied dead in the aftermath of the genocide, or celebrating New Year's Eve with Yasser Arafat, or interviewing a German terrorist in her desert prison in the Negev, or watching Alec Guinness preparing for his role as George Smiley, or describing the female aid worker who inspired the main character in his The Constant Gardener, le Carre endows each happening with vividness and humour, now making us laugh out loud, now inviting us to think anew about events and people we believed we understood. Best of all, le Carre gives us a glimpse of a writer's journey over more than six decades, and his own hunt for the human spark that has given so much life and heart to his fictional characters. 'No other writer has charted - pitilessly for politicians but thrillingly for readers - the public and secret histories of his times' Guardian 'John le Carre is as recognizable a writer as Dickens or Austen' Financial Times 'When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carre ...they were a journey into the wider world ...These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind' Aung San Suu Kyi

Zero Hour
When the beautiful 20-year-old daughter of a Moldovan businessman goes missing from her university, British Intelligence will do anything in its power to track her down. Only one man is skilled and ruthless enough for the job - but for the first time
in his life Nick Stone doesn't want to play ball...FACT: On 5 September 2007, Israeli jets bombed a suspected nuclear installation in northeastern Syria. Syrian radar - supposedly state-of-the-art - had failed to warn of the incoming assault. FACT:
Unknown to anyone but the Israelis and the radar's manufacturers, the commercial, off-the-shelf microprocessors within it contained a remotely accessible kill switch. But what is the raid's mysterious connection with the missing student? What is the
secret to Britain's security to which she unwittingly holds the key? And when ex-SAS deniable operator Nick Stone is tasked to find and abduct her, why is he not on 'receive'? I stared at the tiny shadow on the scan. It was hard to believe that this
little f****r was going to kill me. I'd always imagined it would be something bigger, the diameter of a fist, a rifle butt or a 7.62. Dying like this? It felt so...pedestrian. I tried to smile. 'I always wondered what a death warrant looked like. Doe
