Across the River and into the Trees
The War is just over. In Venice, a city elaborately and affectionately described, the American Colonel, Richard Cantrell, falls passionately in love with Renata, a young Italian countess who has 'a profile that could break your or anyone else's heart'. Cantrell is embittered, war-scarred and old enough to be Renata's father, but he is overwhelmed by the selflessness and freshness of the love she is offering. But this is no fairy tale. The fighting may be ended, but the wounds of war have not yet healed. And for some, the longed-for peace has come too late.

Fiesta
Paris in the twenties: Pernod, parties and expatriate Americans, loose-living on money from home. Jake is wildly in love with Brett Ashley, aristocratic and irresistibly beautiful, but with an abandoned, sensuous nature that she cannot change. When the couple drifts to Spain to the dazzle of the fiesta and the heady atmosphere of the bullfight, their affair is strained by new passions, new jealousies, and Jake must finally learn that he will never possess the woman he loves.
Lacná kniha Tarass Boulba
Chevauchées héroïques, combats furieux, mêlées sanglantes, têtes et corps fracassés, démembrés, uniformes rutilants, tonnerre des canonnades, bannières, cimiers et cris farouches déployés au vent de la steppe, rien ne manque à cette épopée russe à la manière de Walter Scott. Pas même l'amour fatal d'un beau cosaque pour sa princesse polonaise. Mais quel rapport entretient donc ce Tarass Boulba flamboyant avec la modernité kafkaïenne des Âmes mortes ou du Manteau ? Son thème secret, développé comme dans une tragédie cornélienne : le doute, qui sans cesse déstabilise l'artiste dans sa quête d'absolu. Plusieurs fois trahi, à commencer par son propre fils, le vieux Tarass s'obstine à poursuivre un idéal menacé : sa religion, son peuple, la terre de ses ancêtres. Incarnant ainsi pour Gogol une sorte de fidélité invivable, qui ne peut se résoudre que dans la mort. --Scarbo

A sas próféciája
Mikor a kalózok gúnyt űznek a császári flottából, két centuriónak kétségbeejtő kihívással kell szembenézni. Kr. u. 45. Macro és Cato centuriók, a hatalmas római hadsereg tisztjei Rómában vesztegelve várják, hogy vizsgálatot folytassanak ellenük, mert gyanúba keveredtek egyik tiszttársuk halálának ügyében. De nem csak az ő jövőjük forog kockán... Egy könyörtelen kalózcsapat megszerez néhány tekercset, melyek létfontosságúak a császár biztonságára nézve. Tudva, hogy csak Macróban és Catóban van meg a kellő bátorság és találékonyság a tekercsek visszaszerzéséhez, a császár körmönfont titkára olyan ajánlatot tesz a két centuriónak - ráadásul mindehhez az alattomos Vitellius segítségét is felhasználva -, amit nem utasíthatnak vissza. A tisztek kihajóznak a birodalmi flottával, ám a kalózokat valaki figyelmezteti, és a rómaiak nagy árat fizetnek. A túlerő és a Vitellius becsvágya miatti veszély közepette Macro és Cato attól tartanak, nem tudják teljesíteni a küldetést. Ám a zűrzavarban egyvalami biztos: ha kudarcot vallanak, akkor a birodalom elbukik.

Karácsonyi kalandok Tesz-vesz városban
Karácsony közeledtével Tesz-Vesz város lakói ünnepi hangulatba és - szokásukhoz híven - kacifántos helyzetekbe kerülnek. Vajon mit keres Cicó, Cicus és Hatalmas Hilda Egon hernyótalpas almamobiljával az erdőben? Milyen meglepetést kap betegeitől Villám, a háziorvos? És ki hárítja el az üzemzavart a Mikulás műhelyében?A behavazott városkában játszódó kalandok mellett egy fordulatos társasjáték, két kottával közölt karácsonyi dal, sőt az illatalma elkészítési módja is helyet kapott ebben a különleges Tesz-Vesz-kötetben.
The Physics of Sorrow
In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.
Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, The Physics of Sorrow is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.

A Little Life
The million-copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life for ever.
500 Years Later: An Oral History of Final Fantasy VII

Bittersweet
Whether you long for the partner who broke up with you, or the one you dream of meeting; whether you hunger for the happy childhood you'll never have, or for the divine; whether you yearn for a lost person, an unborn child, the fountain of youth, or unconditional love: These are all manifestations of the same great ache...
In this inspiring and genre-bending work, Susan Cain - author of the international bestseller Quiet - shows us the power of a "bittersweet" outlook: the overlooked tendency to states of longing and poignancy, and a piercing joy at the beauty of the world.
Embracing the bittersweet means understanding that light and dark, birth and death - bitter and sweet - are forever paired, and that by recognising this we can find the true path to creativity and connection.
Bringing to light the ideas of artists, writers and thinkers from all over the world, and her own quest for answers over the course of a lifetime, Susan Cain fundamentally shifts our understanding of life by teaching us how to turn sorrow into an enriching superpower.
