Duett
Egy németországi faluban a fiatal Ellie operaénekesi karrierről dédelget csillogó álmokat. Nagyravágyó ambíciói rengeteg csalódást, sóvárgást és bánatot hoznak majd számára. Londonban a tinédzser Angie megszökik otthonról és Penny Bright néven a popszínpadok ünnepelt kedvence lesz. De egy durva támadás után a félelem és a drog foglyává válik.
Az egyik nő elrabolja a másik életét, miközben elveszíti a legnagyobb szerelmét. A másik megpróbál elmenekülni a múltja elől, de nem tudja elkerülni, hogy szembenézzen a legsötétebb emlékeivel. És mindkettejük élete szorosan összefonódik egy zenei producer ambiciózus terveivel.
London ragyogó rockéletének díszleteitől Európa operaházainak színpadáig, egy kies görög szigettől isten háta mögötti ausztrál tengerparti vidékig követhetjük nyomon Ellie és Angie történetét. A duett utolsó hangjai azonban csak a szívszorító végkifejletkor hangozhatnak el, amikor visszatérnek a múlt követelő árnyai.

The Librarianist
Selected as a Washington Post Book of the Summer
From bestselling and award-winning author Patrick deWitt comes a novel about an ordinary man who thought life's surprises were behind him - until a chance encounter changed everything
Bob Comet is a retired librarian passing his solitary days surrounded by books in a mint-colored house in Portland, Oregon. One morning on his daily walk he encounters a confused elderly woman lost in a market and returns her to the senior center that is her home. Hoping to fill the void he's known since retiring, he begins volunteering at the center. Here, as a community of strange peers gathers around Bob, and following a happenstance brush with a painful complication from his past, the events of his life and the details of his character are revealed.
Behind Bob Comet's straight man facade is the story of an unhappy child's runaway adventure during the last days of the Second World War, of true love won and stolen away, of the purpose and pride found in the librarian's vocation, and the pleasures of a life lived to the side of the masses. Comet's experiences are imbued with melancholy but also a bright, sustained comedy; he has a talent for locating bizarre and outsized players to welcome onto the stage of his life.
With his inimitable verve, skewed humor, and compassion for the outcast, Patrick deWitt has written a wide-ranging and ambitious document of the introvert's condition. The Librarianist celebrates the extraordinary in the so-called ordinary life, and depicts beautifully the turbulence that sometimes exists beneath a surface of serenity.

Egy év története naplójegyzetekben
Zimándi Pius premontrei szerzetestanár 1944-45-ös naplója hetven év után is izgalmas olvasmány. Pontos képet ad a korabeli politikai csatározásokról, az egy éven belül lezajló háromszori hatalomváltásról, frontok jövés-menéséről, sajtóhírekről és mindenütt terjedő rémhírekről, Budapest ostromának hétköznapjairól, a gödöllői rendház lakóinak háborús hányattatásairól, a korabeli egyházi értelmiség előítéleteiről és félelmeiről – keresztmetszet egy eddig elfeledett, precíziós optikával. Zimándi Pius az általam ismert naplóírók között teljesen egyedi kategóriát képez. Nem társadalmi helyzete miatt: a legtöbb szerző középosztálybeli. Az eddig ismertté vált naplók és visszaemlékezések alapvetően két csoportra bonthatók. Szerzőik egy része baloldali indíttatású, vagy a keresztény középosztály kultúrájával szemben komoly kritikát megfogalmazó személy, mint például Gyarmati Fanni vagy Márai Sándor; vagy viszonylag apolitikus, elsősorban a konkrét események leírására szorítkozó, sokszor fiatalkorú szemtanú. Olyan szerző naplója azonban, aki a keresztény középosztály 1944-45-ös hangulatát különösebb távolságtartás nélkül visszaadta volna, még nem jelent meg nyomtatásban. Ez a körülmény adja Zimándi Pius írásának legnagyobb feszültségét [] A naplóíró számos, másutt eddig nem tárgyalt részletről is ír; [] munkája gazdag történelmi forrás. (Ungváry Krisztián)

have a keen imagination; are labelled too shy or too sensitive; who perform poorly when being observed even though they are usually competent;

The Language Puzzle
The relationship between language, thought and culture is of concern to anyone with an interest in what it means to be human.
The Language Puzzle explains how the invention of words at 1.6 million years ago began the evolution of human language from the ape-like calls of our earliest ancestors to our capabilities of today, with over 6000 languages in the world and each of us knowing over 50,000 words.
Drawing on the latest discoveries in archaeology, linguistics, psychology, and genetics, Steven Mithen reconstructs the steps by which language evolved; he explains how it transformed the nature of thought and culture, and how we talked our way out of the Stone Age into the world of farming and swiftly into today's Digital Age.
While this radical new work is not shy to reject outdated ideas about language, it builds bridges between disciplines to forge a new synthesis for the evolution of language that will find widespread acceptance as a new standard account for how humanity began.
