The Last Palace
For any reader of Edmund de Waal's THE HARE WITH THE AMBER EYES or Erik Larson's IN THE GARDENS OF BEASTS, Norman L Eisen's THE LAST PALACE tells the story of the tumultuous past 100 years in Europe as seen from the most beautiful house in Prague, the Petschek Villa. The Petschek Villa was Norman L Eisen's home during his tenure as US ambassador. In his remarkable book, he details the colourful lives of five of the palace's residents: - the optimistic Jewish financial baron who built the Petschek Villa after World War I as a statement of his faith in Europe, and who died of a broken heart after Europe brutally rejected him, his house, and his hopes - the cultured, complex German general who occupied the palace during World War II, ultimately saving the house and Prague itself from destruction - the American ambassador and Holocaust hero who became obsessed with the property after the war, acquiring it for the US, though neglecting to fight the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in the process- his successor 40 years later, an iconic former child star who used her showbiz wiles, with the house as her stage, to help the Velvet Revolution succeed in restoring Czechoslovak democracy- and the author, Norman L Eisen, the son of a Czech Auschwitz survivor, who moved into the palace once seized by the Nazis and found himself battling the lingering ghosts of European intolerance The Last Palace weaves a tapestry that is as vast and as intricate as any that hang in the palace itself.
It is also an exploration of the wider themes in international history that have triggered three global wars (two hot and one cold), and threatens the peace of our world today.

A lélek ereje - Útmutató minden napra
"Ami erő van bennem, az azokból a reggeli, csendes percekből ered, amelyekkel a napot kezdem. Azokból, amikor egyedül vagyok, és letérdelek. Azokból, amikor időt szakítok Istenre."
Bear Grylls a világ egyik leghíresebb természetjárója. Többször elment már az emberi erő legvégső határáig: kiállta a Brit Különleges Erők 21. SAS-ezredének hírhedt felvételi vizsgasorozatát, és ő lett a legfiatalabb hegymászó, aki feljutott az Everestre. De ez csak az egyik fele történetének. Tv-sorozataiból a magyar nézők is megismerhették a lehetetlent nem ismerő kalandort, aki most megosztja a nyilvánossággal, mi áll legvakmerőbb tettei hátterében. Az ejtőernyős ugrás során elszenvedett rettentő balesetétől kezdve a Grönland partjainál majdnem halálos tragédiával végződött hajós kalandjáig minden veszélyes vállalkozása során védte valami: a Krisztusba vetett hit.
Ebben a nyílt, merész és őszinte könyvben Bear többek között a barátság, a kudarc, a bátorság és a kockázat témakörét járja körül: rövid olvasni- és gondolkodnivalókat kínál, hogy segítsenek napjainkat békében, céltudatosan és hitben megerősödve tölteni. Ehhez elég naponta néhány percet szánni a Biblia tanításaira. A különösen fontos igék összeválogatása mellett a szerző megosztja velünk üzenetükhöz kapcsolódó gondolatait is. Hogy mindezt még színesebbé tegye, nemcsak saját élete fordulatos eseményeivel illusztrálja őket, de számos ismert kortárs vagy történelmi személy igaz történetét is feleleveníti.
Bear Grylls nem prédikál és nem térít, arra vezet rá, hogy a több ezer éves tanítások tökéletesen eleven, hasznos útmutatók a ma emberének is. Bear egyszerű, közvetlen, modern nyelven szól olvasójához, és bebizonyítja, hogy a mai napig nem írtak hitelesebb életvezetési tanácsadót, mint a Biblia. A tanítások az év minden napjára adnak egy csepp erőt, és a könyv végére érve az olvasó azt tapasztalja: e cseppek tengerré növekedtek benne.
BEAR GRYLLS fiatalkorában harcművészeteket tanult, majd a Brit Különleges Erők kötelékében fejlesztette mesterfokra azokat a túlélési technikákat, amelyek az egész világon ismertté tették. Televíziós túlélőműsorait, extrém kalandsorozatait világszerte sok millióan nézték, emellett számos kötet szerzője, köztük a Magyarországon is bestsellerré vált Tűzön-vízen át! című könyvé.
Jelmondata egyszerű: bátorság és szeretet... és ne add fel soha!

Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what Chinese parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it too. Well, I can tell them, because I've done it...Amy Chua's daughters, Sophia and Louisa (Lulu) were polite, interesting and helpful, they had perfect school marks and exceptional musical abilities. The Chinese-parenting model certainly seemed to produce results. But what happens when you do not tolerate disobedience and are confronted by a screaming child who would sooner freeze outside in the cold than be forced to play the piano? Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a story about a mother, two daughters, and two dogs. It was supposed to be a story of how Chinese parents are better at raising kids than Western ones. But instead, it's about a bitter clash of cultures, a fleeting taste of glory, and how you can be humbled by a thirteen-year-old.Witty, entertaining and provocative, this is a unique and important book that will transform your perspective of parenting forever.

The Pilgrim's Progress
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.
THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, John Bunyan's masterful religious allegory, narrates the journey of an everyman hero, Christian, as he attempts to navigate the trials and tribulations of this world, the City of Destruction, on the path towards paradise, the Celestial City. Though weighed down by the burden of original sin, Christian overcomes the distractions of the world, moving past the Slough of Despond, the Hill of Difficulty and the Valley of the Shadow of Death, while simultaneously resisting the temptations of the Worldy Wise, the Vain and the Ignorant. The product of a lifetime of religious work and thought, Bunyan's virtuosic narrative fundamentally altered Protestant belief, and remains one of the most important and influential works in the English language.

How the Irish Became White
'…from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called â€path breaking,’ â€seminal,’ â€essential,’ a â€must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors, how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

River Cafe Cook Book Green
Ruth Rogers and Rose Gray have an unswervingly clear vision of how food should be cooked: they take immense care over the ingredients and cook them as simply as possible. But one vitally important element in the art of preparing good food is one which we have increasingly lost sight of: seasonality. If you cook food in its right season it will inevitably taste better. And that's what River Cafe Cookbook Green is all about. Divided into months, the twelve chapters look at which vegetables, herbs, leaves, fungi and fruits are at their best at any given time, with information on how they are grown, which varieties to select and how to prepare them. The focus is also on organic produce, something in which Ruth and Rose have come to believe passionately. Meat and fish recipes are certainly included in the book, but the emphasis here is much more on vegetables, pasta recipes etc, in line with the way we are increasingly eating today. Fully illustrated throughout, and even larger than before, this cookbook is an education as well as a culinary treasure-trove.

David Copperfield
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show'. Dickens' epic, exuberant novel is one of the greatest coming-of-age stories in literature. It chronicles David Copperfield's extraordinary journey through life, as he encounters villains, saviours, eccentrics and grotesques, including the wicked Mr Murdstone, stout-hearted Peggotty, formidable Betsey Trotwood, impecunious Micawber and odious Uriah Heep. Dickens' great Bildungsroman (based, in part, on his own boyhood, and which he described as a 'favourite child') is a work filled with life, both comic and tragic. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

Eighteen years later, his wife and daughter return to Casterbridge to find that Henchard has become Mayor. Although he's spent most of his life attempting to repent for his actions, he remains a rash and impetuous man. Hardy portrays Henchard as a tragic hero, searching for love and acceptance from the community around him, posing the overarching question of whether we shape our own fate, or whether life deals us an inevitable hand.
Rude
Hilarious and heart-breaking at the same time, Nimko has blown apart all taboos, blown apart the echo chamber and included all women in the feminist conversation. Essential reading for everyone' - Scarlett Curtis, author of Feminists Don't Wear Pink
14 countries, 42 women, each with a story no one has heard before.
What do you do when you're living on the streets and on your period? What does it feel like to have a poo after you've given birth? How do we learn to love our bodies again after they've been abused? And, how do you know if you've ever really orgasmed? We all have questions about our bodies but often women's voices are silenced for being impolite or improper
What We're Told Not To Talk About (But We're Going To Anyway) is an important, taboo-breaking book that gives voice to the experiences of women from all walks of life, whose stories might not ordinarily be heard. Alongside Nimko's story of living with FGM, rebuilding her relationship with her own body and being a woman her own way, these are the true stories of real women who are sharing the experiences they've always been told should be secret and shameful.
The book is a call to arms for all women to reclaim the narrative around their bodies and to refuse to bow to the taboos which keep us silent. There is no such thing as oversharing.
'A beautiful book with such a wide range of uplifting but often heart-breaking stories. Made us cry and think in equal measure' - Pandora Sykes, co-host of The High Low
'Nimko's book is going to shift the conversation around women's bodies. Our bodies, and everything they do, make us who we are' - Amika George, founder of Free Periods Campaign.
'Nimko says it how it is. There is no subject too taboo for her to tackle. We should all be talking about our vaginas and she is leading the way' - Bryony Gordon, author of Mad Girl
'Nimko Ali is my hero! She's an anti-FGM activist and is responsible for changing laws across the globe! She is also hilarious and wonderful' - Zoe Sugg
'Nimko Ali is heroine for our time, she destroys the notion of things being too rude to discuss' - Caitlin Moran, author of How to Be a Woman
