Loki
Step into the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.
Melvin Burgess revolutionised children's literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths.
Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. This narrative may seem familiar enough at first, but the reader should beware.
Born within the heart of a fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of intelligence and politics. In spite of his cleverness and sparkling wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor.
Alongside the politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki's many loves and families, from his mothering of Odin's famous horse to his intense, turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong, jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society.
This is a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and relatable. It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and intelligence.
Marvel Comics Library. Silver Surfer. Vol. 1. 1968-1970
Introduced by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the fertile pages of The Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer quickly established himself as one of Marvel’s most far-out characters. Enslaved by Galactus to prowl the cosmos for the demi-god’s next planet-sized meal, the Surfer was as tragic a figure as any in comics?and he looked impossibly cool at the same time!
A smash hit with fans and a regular supporting character in Fantastic Four, the character struck a creative nerve with Lee, who couldn’t wait to begin to tell some Surfer solo stories, but the timing had to be right.In the spring of 1968, things came together for both writer and character, with Lee giving the Surfer Marvel’s very first ongoing double-sized book. Lee also recruited artist John Buscema, who had recently been lending his extraordinary pencils to The Avengers. Together, they spun off a run of legendary tales that helped define the character forevermore.The feature stories from the entire 18-issue run of the 1968 Silver Surfer series are collected in this cosmic-sized XXL tome from the Eisner Award-winning Marvel Comics Library series. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.
Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing?as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing press. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics.Texts by author and critic Douglas Wolk and Marvel artist and brother of John Buscema, Sal Buscema, accompany original artwork, photographs, and rare memorabilia.

Az utolsó
Háború fenyeget a Varázslók Világában. Az ezeréves béke inogni látszik. A rendek közötti viszály átível az emberek világába is, ahol a mágia nem több puszta tündérmesénél.
Tara a gimisek mindennapjait éli. Amikor édesanyja bejelenti, hogy új állást kapott egy kisvárosban, és búcsút kell mondaniuk addigi életüknek, a lány azt gondolja, ennél rosszabb nem is történhetett volna. Csakhogy az új házban és a városban senki és semmi nem az, aminek látszik.
Öccsével, Bennyvel leleplezik Nicholast, a ház fogságába száműzött varázslót, aki szellemként tengeti életét. A két testvér segít neki kiszabadulni a fogságból, amivel felkeltik Derwin, a rettegett sötét-mágus figyelmét. A testvérpárból préda lesz.
Tarának gyorsan kell cselekednie, ha meg akarja menteni azokat, akik fontosak a számára. Küzdelmei során azonban nemcsak arra döbben rá, hogy az eddig ismertnek hitt világa mögött húzódik egy ismeretlen másik, hanem arra is, hogy a feladat, melyet magára kellett vállalnia, talán sokkal nagyobb, mint amivel elbír.
Alynne Webb első regénye sodró erejű fantasy, melynek lélegzetelállító világát varázslatos teremtmények és mágusok népesítik be, amit minden igazi fantasyrajongó imádni fog.
Lacná kniha Sarkvidéki küldetés (-90%)
A kanadai sarkvidék egy lakatlan szigetén egy tudományos expedíció tagjai egy bombázó roncsaira bukkannak. A világ szemében a fél évszázados repülőgép csupán hidegháborús ereklye. Alig néhányan tudják, hogy még mindig fenyegetést jelent az emberiségre - a repülő ugyanis a szovjet légierő biológiai fegyver-hordozója, fedélzetén két tonna bevetésre váró antraxszal. Az Egyesült Államok elnökének közvetlen felügyelete alá tartozó elit ügynökség, a COVERT-ONE megbízásából Jon Smith ezredes, Randi Russell CIA-ügynök és a csinos, de kegyetlen fegyverszakértő, Valentina Metrace professzor elindul, hogy biztosítsa a helyszínt. A szigeten azonban áruló lapul, így Smithnek és csapatának nemcsak vele kell szembenézni, hanem a kegyetlen sarkvidéki időjárással is. Lassan rájönnek, hogy valami mást is rejt az ősrégi bombázó: egy olyan titkot, amely sokkal nagyobb pusztításra képes, mint az antrax, és amely nemcsak az egész világtörténelmet írhatja át, de a harmadik világháború kitörését is okozhatja.

Western Lane
A beautiful and moving first novel about grief, sisterhood and a teenage girl's struggle to transcend herself.
Eleven-year-old Gopi has been playing squash since she was old enough to hold a racket. When her mother dies, her father enlists her in a quietly brutal training regimen, and the game becomes her world. Slowly, she grows apart from her sisters. Her life is reduced to the sport, guided by its rhythms: the serve, the volley, the drive, the shot and its echo.
But on the court, she is not alone. She is with her pa. She is with Ged, a thirteen-year-old boy with his own formidable talent. She is with the players who have come before her. She is in awe.
An indelible coming-of-age story, Chetna Maroo’s first novel captures the ordinary and annihilates it with beauty. Western Lane is a valentine to innocence, to the closeness of sisterhood, to the strange ways we come to know ourselves and each other.

CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy
The first book of its kind CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy pays homage to her timeless style and legacy. The ultimate commemoration of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's style, fashion code, and the impact she left behind nearly two decades later.
From private citizen to public figure, Carolyn, chose to use her minimal fashion as her sartorial voice while facing the camera. With her attention to detail, strict color palette, and deliberate unidentifiable looks, she was the essence of class - no label would ever define her. Marrying into an American political dynasty meant that she eschewed the typical patrician fashion standards expected of her and chose to define and modernize her look with avant-garde designers instead. Following her own rule book, she is the very definition of "stealth wealth," a moniker used today to illustrate the concept of quiet luxury dressing.
CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy gathers the greats in the fashion world to speak of her timeless style and presents never-before-published personal anecdotes and artwork from her fashion family in the 90's and today. Featuring spectacular photography from Sally Mann, Mark Borthwick, Nan Goldin, Glen Luchford, Peter Lindbergh and Jamie Hawkesworth; art by Jack Pierson, Hugo Guinness, Anna Weyant, Mark Tennant, and original interviews with Ann Demeulemeester, Yohji Yamamoto and Pieter Mulier of Alaia, Mario Sorrenti, Fabien Baron, Fern Mallis, and Tory Burch.

The Psychopath Test
What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything . . .
Combining Jon's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges.
Burning Questions
From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays — funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient — which seek answers to Burning Questions such as:
Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories?
How can we live on our planet?
What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism?
In Burning Questions Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at our world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer: only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better questioner of the many and varied mysteries of our human universe.
Novels, Tales, Journeys
The archetypal Romantic, killed in a duel in 1837 at the age of 37, Alexander Pushkin was effectively the founder of modern Russian literature. Though famous as a poet, he was equally at home in prose, and this volume includes all his short fiction, as well as unfinished sketches and fragments. Here of course are his masterpieces, 'The Queen of Spades', Pushkin's ironic take on both the supernatural and the society tale, the terse, deadpan Tales of Belkin, often humorous yet imbued with deep understanding of human nature, and his unsurpassable novella, The Captain's Daughter, which, informed by his meticulous research into the Pugachev Rebellion against Catherine the Great, is a perfect combination of folk epic, historical narrative and romance.
Other works include the richly comic 'A History of the Village of Goriukhino', the imaginative historical fiction 'The Moor of Peter the Great' (based on the life of the author's own great-grandfather. Pushkin was particularly proud of his African ancestry), and 'Journey to Arzrum', the fascinating autobiographical account of his (unauthorized, and greatly displeasing to the Tsar) travels in the Caucasus at the time of the 1828-9 Russo-Turkish war.

Monets Minutes
A stunning exploration of the vital links between Claude Monet’s Impressionism and the time technologies that helped define modernity in the nineteenth century.
Monet’s Minutes is a revelatory account charting the relationship between the works of Claude Monet (1840–1926)?founder of French Impressionism and one of the world’s best-known painters?and the modern experience of time. André Dombrowski illuminates Monet’s celebration of instantaneity in the context of the late nineteenth-century time technologies that underwrote it.
Monet’s version of Impressionism demonstrated an acute awareness of the particularly modern pressures of time, but until now scholars have not examined the histories and technologies of time and timekeeping that informed Impressionism’s major stylistic shifts. Arguing that the fascination with instantaneity rejected the dulling cultures of newly routinized and standardized time, Monet’s Minutes traces the evolution of Monet’s art to what were then seismic shifts in the shape of time itself.
In each chapter, Dombrowski focuses on the connections between a set of Monet’s works and a specific technology or experience of time, while providing the voices of period critics responding to Impressionism. Grounded in exceptional research and analyses, this book offers new interpretations of key paintings by Monet and a fresh perspective on late nineteenth-century art, society, and modern temporality.
