A szeretet cselekvést jelent
"A párkapcsolatban előforduló nehézségek nem feltétlenül azt bizonyítják, hogy a kapcsolat rossz, vagy kihalt belőle a szeretet. A partnerek közötti különbségekből adódik, hogy mindig is lesznek megoldandó problémák. Ez a kötet tele van megoldási javaslatokkal, és voltaképpen nem más, mint egy praktikus könyv a partnerkapcsolati gondok leküzdésére." (Részlet az Előszóból)

My Happy Marriage (manga) 04
A Cinderella-inspired, slow-burn historical romance with a paranormal twist set in Taisho-era Japan!
A browbeaten and mistreated daughter is cast out of her home and sent to audition as a bridal candidate for the heir to one of the most powerful families in the land…
Miyo Saimori, the eldest of her clan and yet unblessed by the supernatural talent that graced her father and half sister, is sent off to marry into the Gifted Kudo clan. The young and aloof clan leader, Kiyoka Kudo, finds himself intrigued by this girl who stands worlds apart from the spoiled, social-climbing women who usually vie for his hand. All too soon, Kiyoka comes to regard Miyo with affection.
Kiyoka and Miyo make their engagement real and official, but Miyo still worries she lacks the training to be a wife worthy of the Kudo clan. Enter Kiyoka’s older sister, Hazuki, who takes it upon herself to tutor Miyo—and tease Kiyoka along the way!
Suddenly, Miyo and Kiyoka encounter a mysterious man named Arata Tsuruki. What does he want, and what connection does he have to the enigmatic and powerful Usuba clan that Miyo’s mother hailed from?

Greenhouses
Botanical gardens represent people's centuries-old fascination with exotic plants. Werner Pawlok has photographically explored special tropical greenhouses within Europe and shows us here his most beautiful pictures in his usual colourfully expressive manner - from the Palm House in the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen, to Kew Gardens in London, and the Great Palm House at Schoenbrunn. The scent of the warm earth and the breath of the plants can almost be felt when looking at the large-format and colourful pictures.
Fascinating interplays of colour allow the filigree architecture of famous master builders and the impressive plants to shine in a special light. Pawlok, self-taught and intuitive photographer, captures these magical places in a fascinating way. Each photo is a work of art in itself.
Interesting texts about the cultural history of greenhouses, from the simple wooden construction to the efficient glass dome, accompany this extraordinary photo book. Let yourself be inspired by Pawlok's high-end photographs and embark on a nostalgic journey.
As Pawlok himself puts it: "Being allowed to enter these wonderful glass palaces and explore their green-scented, tropical interiors with my camera felt like an expedition into the heart of the 19th century."
Text in English and German.

A nevető ember
Ursus és Homo jó barátságban élt egymással. Ursus ember volt, Homo farkas. Természetük egyezett. A farkasnak az ember adott nevet. Valószínűleg maga választotta saját nevét is. Ő megelégedett az Ursus névvel, a Homo nevet pedig megfelelőnek találta az állat részére. Az ember meg a farkas összeállt, sorra járták a vásárokat, ünnepeket, megálltak az utcasarkokon, ahol a járókelők összecsődülnek, s mindenütt, ahol a nép szükségét érzi, hogy bolondságokat hallgasson, és kuruzslószereket vásároljon.
Így kezdődik Hugo romantikus regénye, mely a 17. század végi Angliában játszódik.
Ursus egy téli napon gyermeket talál, akinek a száját úgy megcsonkították, hogy szüntelen nevetni látszik. Mellette vak kislány üldögél. Ursus mindkettőt magához veszi. Mikor a gyermekek felnőnek, egymásba szeretnek. Közben kiderül, hogy a fiú egy lord fia, s el kell foglalnia helyét a Lordok Házában. Heves vádbeszédet mond az elnyomottak védelmében. Eleinte megbotránkozást kelt vádjaival, de örökké nevető arca és a komor mondanivaló közötti groteszk ellentét végül is gúnyos nevetést vált ki a lordokból. A nevető ember levonja a következtetést, undorral hagyja ott a főúri pompát, és hosszú távollét után visszatér szerelméhez, aki a karjai között hal meg.
A nevető ember figurája olyan későbbi alkotókat ihletett meg, mint J.D. Salinger, H.G. Wells - és az ő groteszk vigyora inspirálta a Batman-sorozat Jokerének megalkotását is.

A Secret History of Witches
Brittany, 1821. After Grand-mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. Even so, the Orchieres fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden.
But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever - not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history.
A Secret History of Witches is a moving historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters - witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift.
