Miss Gomez and the Brethren
Miss Gomez and the Brethren by William Trevor - a classic early novel from one of the world's greatest writers. "Like Rembrandt, Trevor looks long but charitably upon his creations ...his understanding of human nature is acute". (Sunday Times). Beryl Tuke, whiling time away in the Thistle Arms with gin and cheap romances, and Alban Roche at Bassett's Petstore are among the street's dream-ridden survivors. A new arrival, Miss Gomez, on the run from her tragic childhood in Jamaica, now lives for her postal correspondence with the Church of the Brethren of the Way back on the island. No one will believe Miss Gomez when she announces her revelation of a hideous sex crime soon to be committed in Crow Street. That is, until young Prudence Tuke disappears, the police arrive, and the newspapers herald a 'Sex Crime Prophecy'..."The genius of William Trevor is that he can entice you into his fictional terrain in a handful of pages". (Literary Review). William Trevor was born in Mitchelstown, County Cork, in 1928, and was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He has lived in England for many years. The author of numerous acclaimed collections of short stories and novels, he has won many awards including the Whitbread Book of the Year, The James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Sunday Times Award for Literary Excellence. He has been shortlisted three times for the Booker Prize: in 1976 with his novel The Children of Dynmouth, in 1991 with Reading Turgenev and in 2002 with The Story of Lucy Gault. He received the prestigious David Cohen Literature Prize in recognition of a lifetime's literary achievement, and has been knighted for his services to literature.

Unnamed
Joshua Ferris' The Unnamed has been hailed as 'the first great book of the decade' (GQ). In an America gone awry with strange weather, New York lawyer Tim Farnsworth suffers a peculiar affliction: the inability to stop walking. While his wife, Jane, struggles to keep their family together in the face of the unfathomable, Tim alone must battle to survive pitiless surroundings, encounters with hostile strangers, and the unrelenting demands of his own body. These challenges force Tim to ask life's most pressing questions, which he answers in a final return on foot across country to reunite with his wife and daughter. Stripped of all defences, and the sense of hope that lies at the very heart of the American dream, Farnsworth is compelled to confront the terrifying reality of what it is to be a human being. "A writer almost uniquely in tune with modern life...Ferris' flashes of brilliance are many". (Evening Standard). "Original, affecting. An almost unbearable love story, between remissions of intense connection and the human inevitability of parting, between the haven of marriage and all that lies beyond". (Observer). "A stunner, an unnerving portrait of a man stripped of civilization's defenses". (New Yorker). Joshua Ferris was born in Illinois in 1974. He is the author of Then We Came to the End (2007), which was nominated for the National Book Award and longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, and the highly acclaimed The Unnamed. In 2010 he was selected for the New Yorker's prestigious '20 under 40' list. His most recent novel, To Rise Again at a Decent Hour, was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2014 and the Dylan Thomas Prize 2014. He lives in New York.

A sün, akit meg lehetett simogatni
Sündi, a derék erdei sün nagyon bánatos, mert őt soha senki nem simogatja meg. A sok szúrós tüske miatt még a mamája sem simítja végig a hátát. Egyszer csak Sündinek mentő ötlete támad, és belehempereg egy halom lehullott, őszi falevélbe... Mihail Pljackovszkij mesehősei -akárcsak a leleményes kis sün- csetlő-botló állatok, akik szorult helyzetben hamar feltalálják magukat. Luszt, a művészlelkű elefántot, a korcsolyázó Morzsa egeret vagy a két kis lusta struccot Vlagyimir Szutyejev rajzolta le sok-sok évvel ezelőtt. Az ismert mesék közül most jó néhány új köntösben jelenik meg a legkisebbek örömére.

Futurist Cookbook
Part manifesto, part artistic joke, Fillippo Marinetti's Futurist Cookbook is a provocative work about art disguised as an easy-to-read cookbook. Here are recipes for ice cream on the moon; candied atmospheric electricities; nocturnal love feasts; sculpted meats. Marinetti also sets out his argument for abolishing pasta as ill-suited to modernity, and advocates a style of cuisine that will increase creativity. Although at times betraying its author's nationalistic sympathies, The Futurist Cookbook is funny, provocative, whimsical, disdainful of sluggish traditions and delighted by the velocity and promise of modernity. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti was born in 1876 to Italian parents and grew up in Alexandria, Egypt. He studied in Paris and obtained a law degree in Italy before turning to literature. In 1909 he wrote the infamous Futurist Manifesto, which championed violence, speed and war, and proclaimed the unity of art and life. Marinetti's life was fraught with controversy: he fought a duel with a hostile critic, was subject to an obscenity trial, and was a staunch supporter of Italian Fascism. Alongside his literary activities, he was a war correspondent during the Italo-Turkish War and served on the Eastern Front in World War II, despite being in his sixties. He died in 1944. Lesley Chamberlain is a novelist and historian of ideas. Her thirteen books include Nietzsche in Turin, The Secret Artist: A Close Reading of Sigmund Freud and The Food and Cooking of Russia. Suzanne Brill is an art historian and writer. She has translated several books for Italian art historians including Caro Pedretti's Leonardo: Architect, which was nominated for the John Florio prize. "A paean to sensual freedom, optimism and childlike, amoral innocence ...it has only once been answered, by Aldous Huxley's Brave New World". (Lesley Chamberlain).

A Spotter's Guide to Film (and TV) Locations
Discover the ultimate collection of film and TV locations with the next instalment in Lonely Planet's Spotter's Guide series. Featuring locations from more than 100 of the most iconic scenes ever committed to film, we'll show you where incredible moments from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Thelma & Louise, Game of Thrones and many more favourites were shot. Whether you're sat in the dark of your local cinema, or curled up on the sofa, each film has the rare ability to transport you to amazing destinations around the globe. Inside this book, you'll be able to explore the real-life locations for some of the most famous productions of all time, filmed in countries including Canada, Australia, Jordan, Croatia, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Tunisia and India. Many of these locations effortlessly played themselves, while others were disguised as hostile, alien deserts, futuristic cityscapes, or Jedi hideaways. While a film's job is make you forget you're watching one, there are certain locations that can transport you right into the world of a movie. If you want to feel like 007 with a license to kill, you can take a boat out to James Bond Island, otherwise known as Khao Phing Kan, in Thailand, home to The Man with the Golden Gun. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Holly Golightly, then enjoy a coffee and a Danish pastry outside Tiffany's in Manhattan. Or perhaps you'd like to celebrate something momentous by running up the steps of the Philadelphia Museum like Rocky Balboa. Whether you're a film buff, a travel addict, or both, this book will help to convince you that CGI is never a substitute for the real thing.

Istennői színjáték
Egy nagy szerelem, három felvonásban: Pokol, Purgatórium, Paradicsom.
A Pokol Magyarország a 70-es években, egy magas rangú pártfunkcionárius és egy ellenzéki lány szerelmi históriája. Mert amint Déry Tibor mondta volt: mindenki mindenkibe beleszerethet... A szerelem kölcsönös ("- Aranyos lány vagy. Egy kicsit bolond... de nagyon örülök, hogy megismertelek!" "- Én meg úgy érzem, ha nem ismertelek volna meg, nem lett volna értelme, hogy megszülettem!"), de a Pokol-ban nincs happy end.
Az író nem tud beletörődni szeretett hőseinek kudarcába. Imádkozik hát értük, s imája meghallgatásra talál: a szerelmesek hatvan év múltán életre kelnek újra, s korábbi létezésükről mit sem tudva, tiszta lappal indulnak egymás keresésére a sarkaiból kifordult világ Purgatórium-ában.
A magára valamit adó modern író igyekszik elkerülni a boldog végkifejletet, nehogy műve bóvlinak minősüljön (ha nőíróról van szó, lányregénynek). Ám ezúttal hiába az ódzkodás: a Paradicsom-ban nincs más, csak happy ending.
