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)

Szerepjátszók
Egy hajóval utazik Haitira a hencegő Mr. Jones, a jóhiszemű, vegetáriánus missziójú Smith házaspár, és Mr. Brown, az elbeszélő. A gyönyörű nők és a gondtalan szórakozás letűnt világába, a 20. század közepén tomboló Doki Papa (Duvalier) diktatúrájába érkeznek. Komédiások valamennyien, maguk választották vagy belekényszerültek, de mindig a túlélésért. A valóság és az ezt alig-alig tudomásul vevő szereplők összeütközéseiből egyre fokozódik a drámai feszültség...
Az események szemtanúja a hűvös, cinikus Mr. Brown, aki megpróbálja fenntartani szállodáját, miközben viszonyt folytat a nagykövet feleségével. Az izgalmas légkörben az író művészien bontja ki a féltékenységgel terhes szerelem és a botcsinálta hőssé váló Jones "őrnagy" történetét.

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.

The Feminist Killjoy Handbook
We have to keep saying it because they keep doing it.
Do colleagues roll their eyes in a meeting when you use words like sexism or racism? Do you refuse to laugh at jokes that aren't funny? Have you been called divisive for pointing out a division? Then you are a feminist killjoy, and this handbook is for you.
The term killjoy has been used to dismiss feminism by claiming that it causes misery. But by naming ourselves feminist killjoys, we recover a feminist history, turning it into a source of strength as well as an inspiration.
Drawing on her own stories and those of others, especially Black and brown feminists and queer thinkers, Sara Ahmed combines depth of thought with honesty and intimacy. The Feminist Killjoy Handbook unpicks the lies our culture tells us and provides a form of solidarity and companionship that can be returned to over a lifetime.
Gay Best Friend
He's always been the token gay best friend. Now, stuck between a warring bride and groom hurtling toward their one perfect day, he's finally ready to focus on something new: himself.
Domenic Marino has become an expert at code-switching between the hypermasculine and ultrafeminine worlds of his two soon-to-be-wed best friends. But this summer-reeling from his own failed engagement and tasked with attending their bachelor and bachelorette parties-he's anxious over having to play both sides.
The pressure is on. The bride wants Dom to keep things clean. The groom wants Dom to "let loose" with the guys. And Dom just wants to get out of this whole mess with his friendships intact.
But once the rowdy groomsmen show up at the beach house-including a surprise visit from the groom's old frat brother, handsome and charming PGA star Bucky Graham-chaos (and unexpected romance) quickly ensues. By the time Dom returns for the bachelorette party, he's accumulated a laundry list of secrets that threaten to destroy everything-from the wedding, to Bucky's career, to the one thing Dom hasn't been paying nearly enough attention to lately: his own life.
