Borzalmak Kastélya
"Bármily hírhedtek és érdekesek is egyébként borzalmas gonosztetteik révén azok a szerencsétlen kiváltságosak, akik bekerülnek az elmebeteg elítéltek broadmoori fegyházába, ? õszintén szólva, illetlenség, hogy ne mondjuk: igazságtalanság, hogy éppen õk állítsanak pellengérre valakit, akit, akárcsak õket, az orvosszakértõk véleménye és a könyörületes esküdtszék utalt ebbe a reménytelen intézetbe. Ám azért mégis gyakran ujjal mutogattak John Flackre, amint ide-oda lõdörgött az udvaron, a kezeit hátra dugva, fejét a mellére lógatva. Magas, ösztövér öregember volt, akin lötyögött a szürke darócruha, sohase állt szóba senkivel és õt magát is ritkán szólították meg. ? Ez Flack? a Flack. A földkerekség legagyafúrtabb banditája? Az õrült John Flack? kilencszeres rablógyilkos?" J. G. Reeder detektívnek és csinos titkárnõjének szembe kell szállnia az õrült, ám zseniális Flack bosszújával...

Jog On
Divorced and struggling with deep-rooted mental health problems, Bella Mackie ended her twenties in tears. She could barely find the strength to get off the sofa, let alone piece her life back together. Until one day she did something she had never done of her own free will – she pulled on a pair of trainers and went for a run.
That first attempt didn’t last very long. But to her surprise, she was back out there the next day. And the day after that. She began to set herself achievable goals – to run 5k in under 30 minutes, to walk to work every day for a week, to attempt 10 push-ups in a row. Before she knew it, her mood was lifting for the first time in years.
In Jog On, Bella explains with hilarious and unfiltered honesty how she used running to battle crippling anxiety and depression, without having to sacrifice her main loves: booze, cigarettes and ice cream. With the help of a supporting cast of doctors, psychologists, sportspeople and friends, she shares a wealth of inspirational stories, research and tips that show how exercise often can be the best medicine. This funny, moving and motivational book will encourage you to say ‘jog on’ to your problems and get your life back on track – no matter how small those first steps may be.

Whoever said you can't fool an honest man wasn't one.
The Royal Bank is facing a crisis, and it’s time for a change of management.

But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, that life is not necessarily a long one.
He’s about to be exposed as a fraud, but if he’s lucky the Assassins’ Guild might get him first. In fact, a lot of people want him dead. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies.

For Blood and Money - Billionaires, Biotech, and the Quest for a Blockbuster Drug
A gripping business narrative and scientific thriller about what it takes to bring a wonder drug to market?and save countless lives.
For Blood and Money tells the little-known story of how an upstart biotechnology company created a one-in-a-million cancer drug, and how members of the core team?denied their share of the profits?went and did it again. In this epic saga of money and science, veteran financial journalist Nathan Vardi explains how the invention of two of the biggest cancer drugs in history became (for their backers) two of the greatest Wall Street bets of all time.
In the multibillion-dollar business of biotech, where pharmaceutical companies, the government, hedge funds, and venture capitalists have spent billions on funding, experimentation, and treatments, a single molecule can stop cancer in its tracks?and make the people who find that rare molecule astonishingly rich. For Blood and Money follows a small team at a biotech start-up in California, who have found one of these rare molecules. Their compound, known as a BTK inhibitor, seems to work on a vicious type of leukemia. When patients start rising from their hospice beds, the team knows they’re onto something big.
What follows is a story of genius, pathos, and drama, in which vivid characters navigate a world of corporate intrigue and ambiguous morality. Vardi’s narrative immerses readers in the recent explosion of biotech start-ups. He describes the scientists, doctors, and investors who are risking everything to develop new, life-saving treatments, and introduces suffering patients for whom the stakes are life-or-death. A gripping nonfiction read, For Blood and Money illustrates why it’s so hard to bring new drugs to market, explains why they are so expensive, and examines how profit-driven venture capitalists are shaping the future of medicine.

Velké kriminální případy
Období první československé republiky (1918–1938) z pohledu kriminální činnosti a práce vyšetřovatelů nebylo jen érou ze slavného televizního seriálu známého rady Vacátka a jeho „hříšných lidí“ ani aférou týkající se nikdy nevyřešeného případu vraždy Otýlie Vranské.
V této době bylo vyneseno více než čtyři sta nejvyšších trestů za kriminální trestné činy, které pravidelně plnily první stránky bulvárních novin, ale i seriózních deníků. Ani fungující parlamentní demokracie, zaštítěná morální autoritou T. G. Masaryka, nebyla překážkou pro různé aféry s konotacemi na nejvyšší politická místa. Nezůstalo však jen u nich – v ČSR řádil i mezinárodní organizovaný zločin, od padělání bankovek až po vraždy a atentáty. Tíživá mezinárodní situace, kdy republika byla obklopena téměř samými nepřáteli, také přála v nebývalé míře špionáži. Autoři, historici Jiří Plachý a Ivo Pejčoch, zmapovali toto období českých, respektive československých dějin a pro každý rok této éry vybrali do své nové knihy kriminální případ, který se v té době těšil největší pozornosti celé společnosti.
Čtenář se tak může seznámit nejen s kauzou Otýlie Vranská, ale například i s případy psychicky narušeného otcovraha Zdeňka Hlasivce, Hildy Hanikové, která zorganizovala vraždu svého manžela, Oldřicha Filipína, několikanásobného loupežného vraha, Marie Volfové, jedné z nejznámějších vražedkyň československé historie, či sexuálního devianta Svatopluka Štěpánka, známého jako „roudnický netvor“. Stranou zájmu autorů ale nezůstaly ani případy s politickým podtextem, charakteristické především pro třicátá léta, takže se čtenář může podrobněji seznámit například s procesem s Volkssportem, tedy soudním líčením se sudetoněmeckými nacisty, pokusem o ozbrojený politický převrat v roce 1933, známým jako „židenický puč“, nebo s fémovou vraždou inženýra Formise. Aby ilustrovali postoj společnosti v období první republiky k homosexuálním vztahům, vybrali autoři pro rok 1927 případ soudního procesu s ženami obviněnými z lesbického vztahu.

Italy by Ingredient
A fresh approach to Italian cuisine through its most iconic ingredients, presented by Italian-born cooking instructor Viola Buitoni.
From glossy drops of balsamic vinegar to flakes of parmigiano reggiano and spoonfuls of fresh ricotta to creamy grains of risotto—the ingredients of Italian cuisine are beloved staples known the world over, available in specialty stores and served in restaurants across the globe. As a native Roman raised in the Umbrian countryside, Viola Buitoni grew up with these artisanal foods, learning about how they developed from centuries-old wisdom, tight-knit communities, and sustainable production. Now a US-based cooking instructor, Buitoni’s passion is sharing the beloved flavors of her homeland with home cooks.
In this debut cookbook, she presents the history and geography of Italy’s most iconic ingredients, showing modern home chefs how to incorporate robust flavors and techniques into their kitchens. With recipes organized according to a single ingredient, each chapter bursts with taste: learn how to make a traditional ragú sauce with conserved tomatoes; layer a plate of prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella; or bake a polenta custard tart. Practical guidelines for seasonal eating, easy substitutes for hard-to-find items, and valuable shopping tips complement the approachable recipes.
David Bowie, Enid Blyton and the Sun Machine
In this one-of-a-kind book, novelist and academic Nicholas Royle brings together two remarkably different creative figures: Enid Blyton and David Bowie. His exploration of their lives and work delves deeply into questions about the value of art, music and literature, as well as the role of universities in society.
Blending elements of memoir and cultural commentary, Royle creates a tender and often hilarious portrait of family life during the pandemic, weaving it together with musings on dreams, second-hand bookshops and unpublished photos of Bowie taken by Stephen Finer. He also shares previously unrecorded details about Blyton’s personal life, notably her love affair with Royle’s grandmother.
David Bowie, Enid Blyton and the sun machine offers a singular perspective on the cultural significance of two iconic figures. In doing so, it makes a compelling case for the power of storytelling and music to shape our lives.

In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here - including "The Cut-Glass Bowl" in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family's misfortunes, "The Four Fists" where a man's life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of "May Day" - F.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow - My Life
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrowis Sophia Loren's definitive autobiography, revealing her personal journey from the hardship of her childhood in Naples to her life as a screen legend, sharing stories of work, love, and family. Each chapter begins with a letter, a document, a photograph, or object that prompts her reminiscences. In her own words, these memoirs originated as, "Unpublished memories, curious anecdotes, tiny secrets told, all of which spring from a box found by chance, a precious treasure trove filled with emotions, experiences, adventures." In her incredible life story, Loren vividly recounts her difficult childhood in Naples during World War II, remembers her parents and their tempestuous relationship, and reveals the pain of growing up in her grandparents' house with her single, unmarried mother and younger sister. She tells how she got her start by winning a beauty pageant ('La regina del mare') and how her ambition drove her success in cinema before revealing the influence of the producer Carlo Ponti, who cast her in her early roles and later became her husband. Loren takes us behind the scenes of the movies, her early stardom and move to Hollywood revealing intimate and never before shared stories of her famed costars: Brando, Newman, Burton, Peck, Heston, and many more.
