The Memoir of an Anti-Hero
The Second World War. Poland. Our narrator has no intention of being a hero. He plans to survive this war, whatever it takes.
Meticulously he recounts his experiences: the slow unravelling of national events as well as uncomfortable personal encounters on the street, in the cafe, at the office, in his love affairs. He is intimate but reserved; conversational but careful; reflective but determined. As he becomes increasingly and chillingly alienated from other people, the reader is drawn into complicit acquiescence. We are forced to consider what it means to be heroic and how we ourselves would behave in the same circumstances.
Written in 1961, this is the masterpiece of one of the great Polish writers of the 20th century.

Jess and Tracy Beaker are the perfect team. They do everything together.
Jess thinks Tracy is the best mum ever, even when she shouts at her teachers!
Tracy has made the perfect home for Jess, leaving The Dumping Ground far behind her.
Yes, their flat's a bit mouldy. It's only just big enough for two. And the Duke Estate is a bit scary.
But it's their happy home.
Until Sean Godfrey, Tracy's rich boyfriend, whisks them away to his mansion, life of fast cars and celebrity stardom.
Will Jess's brilliant mum turn into a new person altogether?
And will Tracy realise that her childhood dream might not be what she needs after all?
Jacqueline Wilson is one of the most loved authors for a reason. Her characters never needed a cape, or a special power to be a hero to generations of children; just huge imaginations, a bit of fierceness and a big heart. And there is no hero fiercer or more iconic than Tracy.
My Mum Tracy Beaker is a fantastic new story, reuniting readers with a much-loved old friend (and some old enemies. . .) Just like old times, it's packed full of illustrations from Nick Sharratt.

Égig érő történet
„Az ember nem az a csúcsfaj, aminek képzeli magát. Más élőlények mondják meg, merre hány centi, azok csinálják a levegőt és eszik a napfényt. Nélkülük nincs semmi.” A légierő rakodásvezetőjének gépét lelövik a vietnámi háborúban. A katona életét az menti meg, hogy egy fafojtó fügefára zuhan. Egy festőművész százévnyi fotóportrét örököl, mindegyik kép ugyanarról a pusztulásra ítélt gesztenyefáról készült. Egy keményen bulizó egyetemista lány hozzáér a villanyvezetékhez, bele is hal az áramütésbe, hogy azután légi és fénylények lökjék vissza az életbe. Egy hallássérült tudós fölfedezi, hogy a fák kommunikálnak egymással. Ők négyen és további öt idegen végső, erőszakos együttlétre jönnek össze, hogy megmentsék az amerikai földrész utolsó, néhány hektárnyi érintetlen erdejét. Richard Powers regénye szenvedélyesen és elsöprő erővel mutatja be a környezetvédő aktivisták elszántságát. Az Égig érő történet koncentrikus gyűrűkben bontja ki az egymásba fonódó mítoszokat a polgárháború előtti New Yorktól a csendes-óceáni partvidék 20. század végi fakitermelési válságáig és azon is túl. Meggyőző erővel ábrázolja, hogy az emberi mellett létezik egy másik világ – hatalmas, lassú, minden részével egymásba kapcsolódó, leleményes –, de az számunkra szinte láthatatlan. Az Égig érő történet azoknak szól, akiket elkeserít, hogy az ember önző módon pusztítja a természetet, s akik bíznak abban, hogy ez a folyamat még megállítható. Richard Powers írói munkásságát kritikusai Jonathan Franzenéhez, Dave Eggerséhez vagy Don DeLillóéhoz hasonlítják. Az Égig érő történet, a tizenkettedik regénye 2019-ben elnyerte az irodalmi Pulitzer-díjat.

The Case Against Reality
SHORTLISTED FOR THE PHYSICS WORLD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019
'One of the deepest and most original thinkers of his generation of cognitive scientists. His startling argument has implications for philosophy, science, and how we understand the world around us' Steven Pinker
'Is reality virtual? It's a question made even more interesting by this book' Barbara Kiser, Nature
Do we see the world as it truly is? In The Case Against Reality, pioneering cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman says no? we see what we need in order to survive. Our visual perceptions are not a window onto reality, Hoffman shows us, but instead are interfaces constructed by natural selection. The objects we see around us are not unlike the file icons on our computer desktops: while shaped like a small folder on our screens, the files themselves are made of a series of ones and zeros - too complex for most of us to understand. In a similar way, Hoffman argues, evolution has shaped our perceptions into simplistic illusions to help us navigate the world around us. Yet now these illusions can be manipulated by advertising and design.
Drawing on thirty years of Hoffman's own influential research, as well as evolutionary biology, game theory, neuroscience, and philosophy, The Case Against Reality makes the mind-bending yet utterly convincing case that the world is nothing like what we see through our eyes.
