The Reversal
When Mickey Haller is invited by the Los Angeles County District Attorney to prosecute a case for him, he knows something strange is going on. Mickey's a defence lawyer, one of the best in the business, and to switch sides like this would be akin to asking a fox to guard the hen-house. But the high-profile case of Jason Jessup, a convicted child-killer who spent almost 25 years on death row before DNA evidence freed him, is an intriguing one... Eager for the publicity and drawn to the challenge, Mickey takes the case, with Detective Harry Bosch on board as his lead investigator. But as a new trial date is set, it starts to look like he's been set up. Mickey and Harry are going to have to dig deep into the past and find the truth about what really happened to her all those years ago.

Calabrian countryside. To get to the bottom of the case, Ferrara has to infiltrate the village of San Piero d'Aspromonte, deep in the Calabrian mountains. And there, he must put his life on the line to learn more about a family at the centre of an an

The Prestige
Two 19th century stage illusionists, the aristocratic Rupert Angier and the working-class Alfred Borden, engage in a bitter and deadly feud; the effects are still being felt by their respective families a hundred years later. Working in the gaslight-and-velvet world of Victorian music halls, they prowl edgily in the background of each other's shadowy life, driven to the extremes by a deadly combination of obsessive secrecy and insatiable curiosity. At the heart of the row is an amazing illusion they both perform during their stage acts. The secret of the magic is simple, and the reader is in on it almost from the start, but to the antagonists the real mystery lies deeper. Both have something more to hide than the mere workings of a trick.

Chernobyl - History of a Tragedy
*WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2018*
'As moving as it is painstakingly researched. . . a cracking read' Viv Groskop, Observer
On 26 April 1986 at 1.23am a reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Soviet Ukraine exploded. While the authorities scrambled to understand what was occurring, workers, engineers, firefighters and those living in the area were abandoned to their fate. The blast put the world on the brink of nuclear annihilation, contaminating over half of Europe with radioactive fallout.
In Chernobyl, award-winning historian Serhii Plokhy draws on recently opened archives to recreate these events in all their drama. A moment by moment account of the heroes, perpetrators and victims of a tragedy, Chernobyl is the first full account of a gripping, unforgettable Cold War story.
'A compelling history of the 1986 disaster and its aftermath . . . plunges the reader into the sweaty, nervous tension of the Chernobyl control room on that fateful night when human frailty and design flaws combined to such devastating effect' Daniel Beer, Guardian
'Haunting ... near-Tolstoyan. His voice is humane and inflected with nostalgia' Roland Elliott Brown, Spectator
'Extraordinary, vividly written, powerful storytelling ... the first full-scale history of the world's worst nuclear disaster, one of the defining moments in the Cold War, told minute by minute' Victor Sebestyen Sunday Times
'Plays out like a classical tragedy ... fascinating' Julian Evans, Daily Telegraph
'Here at last is the monumental history the disaster deserves' Julie McDowall, The Times
Most Wonderful thing in the World
From the author of the Tiara Club series comes a gently satirical fairy story for our times, illustrated by one of today's finest artists, Angela Barrett. When a king and a queen promise to marry their daughter Lucia to the man who can show them the most wonderful thing in the world, suitors descend on the palace bearing gifts. Roses, jewels and exotic birds; dancing girls, wind machines and mythical beasts - but nothing feels quite right. As the last suitor leaves, his weapons of mass destruction rejected, the king and queen are exhausted. But when a shy, young man, who isn't a suitor at all, steps forward, they finally understand what the most wonderful thing in the world really is. Vivian French's masterful retelling of a forgotten story is both funny and heart-warming, and Angela Barrett's breathtaking illustrations give life to an enchanting and romantic fairytale city.

Die schönsten Tierfabeln für Kinder
Wunderschöner Fabelschatz für die ganze Familie! Seit hunderten von Jahren kennen Kinder auf der ganzen Welt die Geschichte vom Hasen und der Schildkröte. Mit der Zeit wurde diese Fabel, wie viele andere, ausgeschmückt und verändert, aus der Schildkröte wurde ein Igel, aber die Botschaft blieb die gleiche: Beharrlichkeit führt oft zum Ziel! Am Beispiel der schlauen und einfallsreichen Tiere konnten Menschen zu allen Zeiten viel über sich selbst und das richtige Verhalten lernen, sodass Fabeln nie ihre Gültigkeit verloren und ihre Botschaft zu Sprichwörtern wurde, die wir heute alle kennen: Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall. Wenn sich zwei streiten, freut sich der Dritte. Dieser Band versammelt die schönsten Tierfabeln, liebevoll, kindgerecht und detailreich in Szene gesetzt von der bekannten Illustratorin Anne Suess und mit manch einem Augenzwinkern aus einem neuen Blickwinkel betrachtet! Ein wunderschöner und vergnüglicher Fabelschatz für Kinder ab 4 Jahren und für die ganze Familie zum Vorlesen, Betrachten und Schmökern! - Die schönsten und bekanntesten Tierfabeln in einem Band versammelt - Wunderschöne und kindgerechte Illustrationen laden zum Schmökern und Entdecken ein - Ein ideales Vorlesebuch für die ganze Familie

Néhány villanás egy eltűnésre hajlamos műfajból: egy tévéműsorból. Több mint félezren ültek már a Veiszer Alindával szemközti székben ötven, többnyire megrázóan rövidnek tűnő percig azért, hogy pályájukról, életükről, reményeikről és kudarcaikról beszélgessenek valakivel, akiről nem tudtak sokkal többet, mint azt, hogy érdeklődik utánuk. Gondolkodók, tudósok, művészek, sportolók, egyszóval a magyar közélet kiválóságai szólalnak meg a válogatásban, mely izgalmas és gondolatébresztő keresztmetszetet nyújt Veiszer Alinda műsoráról.

Nevéhez fűződik a Miért? - műsor a történelemről című sorozat, valamint a Nyugat 100 vetélkedő és a Radnóti 100 ismeretterjesztő sorozat is. Kulturális-közéleti újságírói pályáját a Kultúrházban kezdte hét évvel ezelőtt. Azóta számtalan kerekasztal-beszélgetés, közönségtalálkozó és rendezvény házigazdája.

The Finkler Question
WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular former BBC radio producer, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. Despite very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik. Both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and together with Treslove they share a sweetly painful evening revisiting a time before they had loved and lost. It is that very evening, when Treslove hesitates a moment as he walks home, that he is attacked - and his whole sense of who and what he is slowly and ineluctably changes.

Piszkos Fred közbelép
Régi ismerősünk Fülig Jimmy ez alkalommal egy ifjú amerikai milliomos expedíciójának lesz fontos szereplője. Legalábbis ilyesmire lehet következtetni gondosan vezetett naplószerű levelezéséből, amelyben St. Antonio főhercegnek számol be kalandjairól. Az események végső kimenetelére mégis Piszkos Fred közbelépése válik döntővé, aki a Na, mi újság, Wagner Úr nevű hajón követi válogatott legénységével a milliomos hajóját. Az illusztris hajó legénységének és főleg a Kapitánynak lesz tehát érdeme, hogy a rég eltűnt kutató helyett egy banditát fog felfedezni az unatkozó milliomos – és az is, hogy Fülig Jimmy a „kölcsönkenyér visszajár” elv alapján a küzdelmes dicsőség ünnepléséből kimarad, s ehelyett karanténba kerül.
