Best Kept Secret
This is the third novel in Jeffrey Archer's compelling saga, the Clifton Chronicles. 1945. The vote in the House of Lords as to who should inherit the Barrington family fortune has ended in a tie. The Lord Chancellor's deciding vote will cast a long shadow on the lives of Harry Clifton and Giles Barrington. Harry returns to America to promote his latest novel, while his beloved Emma goes in search of the little girl who was found abandoned in her father's office on the night he was killed. When the General Election is called, Giles Barrington has to defend his seat in the House of Commons and is horrified to discover who the Conservatives select to stand against him. But it is Sebastian Clifton, Harry and Emma's son, who ultimately influences his uncle's fate. In 1957, Sebastian wins a scholarship to Cambridge, and a new generation of the Clifton family march onto the page. After Sebastian is expelled from school, he unwittingly becomes caught up in an international art fraud involving a Rodin statue that is worth far more than the sum it raises at auction. Does he become a millionaire? Does he go to Cambridge? Is his life in danger? Best Kept Secret will answer all these questions, but once again, pose so many more.

Rudi mindössze 18 éves volt, amikor dolgozni kezdett a fővárosi éjszakában. Egy menő belvárosi diszkó pohárszedőjeként alig tízezer forint volt a fizetése. Az évek során azonban egyre feljebb került a ranglétrán, s mire észbe kapott, a budapesti alvilág egyik kulcsfigurájának, az éjszaka császárának is nevezett Tolnai Tamás legbelsőbb körében találta magát. A politikusokat és rendőröket a kezében tartó, üzleti riválisait brutális módszerekkel megsemmisítő főnökre apaként nézett fel, mellette érett férfivá. Neki köszönhette az ekkor már másfélmilliós havi bérét, a 80 százalékos tisztaságú kokaint, a glammodelleknek álcázott prostituáltak és gengszterek társaságát, meg egy 38-as kaliberű Smith & Wessont. Rudi vakon követte főnökét a törvénytelenség útján. Bár idővel sejtette, a vesztébe rohan, csak akkor mert szembeszállni vele, amikor kis híján halálra késelték. De ekkor már ahhoz is volt elég bátorsága, hogy saját szabadságáért cserébe elárulja valamikor eszményképét, az éjszaka császárát.

Into The Magic Shop
Extraordinary things happen when we harness the power of both the brain and the heart Growing up in the high desert of California, Jim Doty was poor, with an alcoholic father and a mother chronically depressed and paralyzed by a stroke. Today he is the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University, of which the Dalai Lama is a founding benefactor. But back then his life was at a dead end until at twelve he wandered into a magic shop looking for a plastic thumb. Instead he met Ruth, a woman who taught him a series of exercises to ease his own suffering and manifest his greatest desires. Her final mandate was that he keep his heart open and teach these techniques to others. She gave him his first glimpse of the unique relationship between the brain and the heart. Doty would go on to put Ruth’s practices to work with extraordinary results—power and wealth that he could only imagine as a twelve-year-old, riding his orange Sting-Ray bike. But he neglects Ruth’s most important lesson, to keep his heart open, with disastrous results—until he has the opportunity to make a spectacular charitable contribution that will virtually ruin him. Part memoir, part science, part inspiration, and part practical instruction, Into the Magic Shop shows us how we can fundamentally change our lives by first changing our brains and our hearts.

1913 Year before the Storm
A witty yet moving narrative worked up from sketched documentary traces and biographical fragments, 1913 is an intimate cultural portrait of a world that is about to change forever. The stuffy conventions of the nineteenth century are receding into the past, and 1913 heralds a new age of unlimited possibility. Kafka falls in love; Louis Armstrong learns to play the trumpet; a young seamstress called Coco Chanel opens her first boutique; Charlie Chaplin signs his first movie contract; and new drugs like cocaine usher in an age of decadence. Yet everywhere there is the premonition of ruin - the number 13 is omnipresent, and in London, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Trieste, artists take the omen and act as if there were no tomorrow, their brief coincidences of existence telling of a darker future. In a Munich hotel lobby, Rilke and Freud discuss beauty and transience; Proust sets out in search of lost time; and while Stravinsky celebrates the Rite of Spring with industrial cacophony, in Munich an Austrian postcard painter by the name of Adolf Hitler sells his conventional cityscapes. Told with Illies's characteristic mixture of poignant evocation and laconic irony, 1913 is the story of the year that shaped the last century.

No Safe House
Seven years ago, Terry Archer and his family experienced a horrific ordeal which nearly cost them their lives. Today, the echoes of that fateful night are still audible. Terry's wife, Cynthia, is living separate from her husband and daughter after her own personal demons threatened to ruin her relationship with them permanently. Their daughter, Grace, is rebelling against her parents' seemingly needless overprotection. Terry is just trying to keep his family together. And the entire town is reel
ing from the senseless murder of two elderly locals. But when Grace foolishly follows her delinquent boyfriend into a strange house, the Archers must do more than stay together. They must stay alive. Because now they have all been unwillingly drawn i
nto the shadowy depths of their seemingly idyllic hometown. For there, they will be reconnected with the man who saved their lives seven years ago, but who still remains a ruthless, unrepentant criminal. They will encounter killers for hire working all sides. And they will learn that there are some things people value much more than money, and will do anything to get it. Caught in a labyrinth between family loyalty and ultimate betrayal, Terry must find a way to extricate his family from a lethal situation he still doesn't fully comprehend. All he knows is that to live, he may have to do the unthinkable...

Finch
In a deserted tenement in an occupied city, two dead bodies lie on a dusty floor as if they have fallen out of the air itself. One corpse is cut in half, the other is utterly unmarked. One is human, the other isn't. The city of Ambergris is half ruin
ed, rotten; its population controlled by narcotics, internment camps and acts of terror. But its new masters want this case closed, urgently. Detective John Finch has just one week to solve it or be sent to the camps. With no ID for the victims, no c
lues, no leads and precious little hope, Finch's fate that hangs in the balance. But there is more to this case than first meets the eye. Enough to put Finch in the cross-hairs of every spy, rebel, informer and traitor in town. Under the shadow of th
e eldrich tower the occupiers are raising above the city, Finch is about to come face to face with a series of mysteries that will change him and Ambergris forever. Why does one of the victims most resemble a man thought dead for 100 years, what is t
he murders' connection to an attempted genocide nearly 600 years ago, and just what the secret purpose of the occupier's tower?

Perennial Seller
The book that Inc. says "every entrepreneur should read" and an FT Book of the Month selection... How did the movie The Shawshank Redemption fail at the box office but go on to gross more than $100 million as a cult classic? How did The 48 Laws of Power miss the bestseller lists for more than a decade and still sell more than a million copies? How is Iron Maiden still filling stadiums worldwide without radio or TV exposure forty years after the band was founded? Bestselling author and marketer Ryan Holiday calls such works and artists perennial sellers. How do they endure and thrive while most books, movies, songs, video games, and pieces of art disappear quickly after initial success? How can we create and market creative works that achieve longevity? Holiday explores this mystery by drawing on his extensive experience working with businesses and creators such as Google, American Apparel, and the author John Grisham, as well as his interviews with the minds behind some of the greatest perennial sellers of our time. His fascinating examples include: - Rick Rubin, producer for Adele, Jay-Z, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who teaches his artists to push past short-term thinking and root their work in long-term inspiration. - Tim Ferriss, whose books have sold millions of copies, in part because he rigorously tests every element of his work to see what generates the strongest response. - Seinfeld, which managed to capture both the essence of the nineties and timeless themes to become a modern classic. - Harper Lee, who transformed a muddled manuscript into To Kill a Mockingbird with the help of the right editor and feedback. - Winston Churchill, Stefan Zweig, and Lady Gaga, who each learned the essential tenets of building a platform of loyal, dedicated supporters. Holiday reveals that the key to success for many perennial sellers is that their creators don't distinguish between the making and the marketing. The product's purpose and audience are in the creator's mind from day one. By thinking holistically about the relationship between their audience and their work, creators of all kinds improve the chances that their offerings will stand the test of time.

Narcissist Test : How to Spot Outsized Egos
We all know that being a "Narcissist" is a bad thing, but what really is Narcissism? An incurable disease set to ruin your future, a habit which can be cured, or a trait to be nurtured? And how can you spot if your partner, child, or -God forbid- you are one? Insightful and revolutionary, The Narcissist Test answers all these questions and more. Narcissism is all around us: reality TV shows celebrate attention-seeking know-and-do nothings; little girls parade in clothes stamped with "Princess"; a whopping 500 million tweets narrating each and every thought and whim are posted daily; and now the world has gone made for selfies. In The Narcissist Test, clinical psychologist Dr Craig Malkin delves into the motivations behind these self-absorbed expressions, revealing which are the most damaging and arguing that, contrary to popular belief, it is a habit which can be remedied. As supportive as it is illuminating, The Narcissist Test is also the first and only book that not only makes the distinction between healthy and unhealthy narcissism, but offers clear, step-by-step guidance on how to promote the healthy kind in your partner, children, and in yourself. From advice tailored to parents, social media users and even schools, this is the definitive text on a trait threatening to dominate an entire generation. Dr Craig Malkin is a clinical psychologist hailing from Harvard with over two decades of experience helping individuals, couples and families.

The Enormous Crocodile (R/I)
"A true genius...Roald Dahl is my hero." (David Walliams). Phizz-whizzing new branding for the world's No.1 storyteller - Roald Dahl. The Enormous Crocodile is very greedy and loves eating children! But the other animals plan to ruin his wicked schemes and teach him a lesson. Roald Dahl, the best-loved of children's writers, was born in Wales of Norwegian parents. His books continue to be bestsellers, despite his death in 1990, and worldwide sales are over 100 million! Quentin Blake is one of the best-known and best-loved children's illustrators and it's impossible now to think of Roald Dahl's writings without imagining Quentin Blake's illustrations. Quentin Blake is one of Britain's most successful illustrators. His first drawings were published in Punch when he was sixteen. He has illustrated nearly three hundred books and he was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. He has won many awards including the Whitbread Award and the Kate Greenaway Medal. Besides being an illustrator he taught for over twenty years at the Royal College of Art and in 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate! Six years later he was awarded a CBE for services to children's literature and in 2013 he was knighted in the New Year's Honours - which means his full title is Sir Quentin Blake, although we can still all go on calling him Quentin as usual.

The Beautiful and Damned
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. From the author of The Great Gatsby, a tale of marriage and disappointment in the Roaring Twenties. Fitzgerald's rich and detailed novel of the decadent Jazz Era follows the beautiful and vibrant Anthony Patch and his wife Gloria as they navigate the heady lifestyle of the young and wealthy in 1920s New York. Patch is the presumptive heir to his grandfather's fortune, and keeps his equally spoiled wife in comfort while biding time until his grandfather's death. Patch is unable to hold down any kind of job and spends his days in luxury, indulging in whatever pleasures are available. But as the money begins to fail, so does their marriage. Patch's gradual descent into alcoholism, depression and alienation from his marriage ultimately lead to his ruin. Fitzgerald's novel is a remorseless exploration of the horrors of an age of excess and lost innocence. F. Scott Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. Despite his present popularity, Fitzgerald was often in financial trouble, due to the fact that only one of his novels sold well enough to support the extravagant lifestyle that he and his wife Zelda adopted, and later Zelda's medical bills. His novel The Great Gatsby has sold millions of copies and remains a continual best-seller.

Jobban mint valaha
Hogyan javíthatunk életünkön a szokásaink megváltoztatásával? Erre ad választ Gretchen Rubin könnyed humorú, ám rendkívül alapos, tudományos kutatásokon és rengeteg személyes megfigyelésen alapuló könyve.
• Szeretnék rászokni a rendszeres testmozgásra, de nem tudok, és ez nagyon bosszant.
• Olyan jó lenne egészségesebb ételeket enni, de imádom a gyorsételeket!
• Többet akarok aludni, hogy kipihentebb és energikusabb legyek, de csak késő este jut idő önmagamra.
• Kevesebbet kellene innom, de olyan nehéz megállni, ha társaságban vagyok.
• Több időt szeretnék tölteni a családommal és a barátokkal a folytonos munka helyett.

ÉLET szorongás és pánik nélkül?
Sarah Wilson egész életében harcolt a depresszióval. Bipoláris viselkedéssel, valamint mániák egész sorával diagnosztizálták. Több bestsellerrel a háta mögött úgy döntött, sorstársaihoz szól, és megírja Élet szorongás és pánik nélkül? című könyvét. MIRE JÓ A RENGETEG GYÓGYSZER ÉS CSODASZER, ÉS MIÉRT NEM SIKERÜL MÉGSEM MEGGYÓGYULNI? Sarah mindennap feltette magának ezt a kérdést. Akkor is ez foglalkoztatta, amikor átmenetileg jobban volt, és az olyan pokoli időszakokban is, amikor épp a legsötétebb, legmegsemmisítőbb gondolatok tartották markukban. Szorongása ellenére egyre mélyebbre és mélyebbre ásott az összefüggésekben, mígnem egészen közel jutott a problémák gyökeréhez. Ez a nagy szívvel írt kis kötet a szerző személyes történetein és a tudomány világából származó interjúkon keresztül tapintható közelségbe hozza mindazt, amit a mentális betegségekkel terhelt ember átélhet. Átható kutatásai során olyan nagy nevekkel találkozhatunk, mint a Dalai Láma, Brené Brown vagy Gretchen Rubin. A könyv felszabadító felismerésekkel szolgál azoknak, akik gyógyszerezik magukat, akik sorra próbálják ki az alternatív terápiákat, akiknek halált megvető bátorságra van szükségük ahhoz, hogy teljesítsék egy átlagember rutinfeladatait, akik már fel sem tudják idézni életük egy olyan napját, amikor még minden rendben volt. Sok könyv jelent már meg a szorongás és a különféle pánikbetegségek gyógyításáról. De vajon a gyógyulás tényleg olyan motorikusan zajlik, mint ahogy a „nagykönyvben” meg van írva? Az Élet szorongás és pánik nélkül? azt a sok-sok reménykedő lelket szólítja meg, akik ahelyett hogy folyton harcolnának a helyzetük ellen, magukhoz ölelik azt, saját természetük részeként fogadva el, hogy felfedezhessék egy jobb, gazdagabb és teljesebb élet lehetőségét!
