There are stories that save us, and stories that trap us, and in the midst of an illness it can be very hard to know which is which…

Ahol a boldogság terem
"Kedves Rachel! Légy készen egy nagy meglepetésre. Akarsz-e csatlakozni ahhoz a társasághoz, melyet a jövõ hónap 10-én Norvégiába viszek? Egyik résztvevõm lemondott, s ha óhajtanád elfoglalni a helyét, a te ajánlkozásodnak adom az elsõséget. Gyakran voltál rá kíváncsi, hogy mi módon élünk mi az úgynevezett »Boldogság völgyé«-ben. Nos, meghívlak most oda fizetõvendég gyanánt. Jöjj és láss a magad szemével mindent, amire kíváncsi vagy. Ez a kirándulás nagyon egészséges változás lesz számodra a londoni szezon taposómalma után. A vidék képe nagyszerû, az élet valóban árkádiai, a levegõ pedig testet-lelket felfrissítõ. Ott ugyan nem lelné helyét a te kényes szobalányod, arra sem nyílna alkalom, hogy pompás kalaptollaidat fitogtasd. Egy vastag bot s egy pár erõs cipõ váltja fel a kényelmes kocsik helyét."

Karácsonyi enteriőrök - Christmas Interiors
"A Karácsonyi enteriőrök gondolatát kétségtelenül korábbi könyvem, a Budapesti otthonok formálta, sok esetben inspirálta is.
A könyv, melyet Darabos György fotográfussal készítettünk el - mintegy húsz év közös munkát is összefogva - 2010-ben az Alexandra Kiadónál jelent meg.
A karácsonyi ünnepkör nemre, vallási hovatartozásra, életkorra való tekintet nélkül mindenkit áthat, hiszen egyszerre kap benne fontos szerepet a tradíció, a család és az ajándékozás. A könyv felidézi gyermekkorunk karácsonyait, a mesék világát, elkalauzol különböző kultúrákba, bepillantást enged szépen feldíszített otthonokba, az olvasók elé tárja az ünnep ízeit, trendjeit, tárgyi világának megannyi nélkülözhetetlen darabját. Remélem, hogy a kötet számos hasznos ötletet nyújt a karácsonyi előkészületekhez, de azok sem fognak csalódni, akik a kandalló mellett, puha takaróba burkolózva csupán gyönyörködni szeretnének a képekben.
There is no doubt the idea for Christmas Interiors came from, and, in many cases, was inspired by Budapest Interiors. Published by Alexandra Publishing in 2010, Budapest Interiors represents nearly 20 years of work comprised by me and photographer György Darabos.
The spirit of Christmas impacts everybody, irrespective of gender, religious affiliation, or age, because it transcends such differences to include universal notions of tradition, family, and gift giving. This book evokes the Christmases of our childhood and the world of fairy tales. It introduces us to different cultures and beautifully decorated homes, acquaints us with the flavors and trends of the holiday, and presents us with countless indispensible items that help make our homes festive. I hope this volume will serve as a source of inspiration for many Christmas preparations and will not disappoint those either who simply wish to curl up next to the fireplace and enjoy the beautiful pictures."

The Food of Sicily
In this all-new cookbook from Fabrizia Lanza, one of the world’s greatest food cultures is distilled in 75 recipes for the home cook, plus a loving tribute to its ingredients, passions, influences, and history
Tucked away on an estate in the countryside south of Palermo is the Anna Tasca Lanza Cooking School, a unique center dedicated to preserving and sharing the great food culture of Sicily. The spirit of the school, now run by Fabrizia Lanza, the founder’s daughter and scion of a renowned family of winemakers that goes back generations, is what makes Lanza’s The Food of Sicily such a singular cookbook—not just a collection of recipes and techniques, but a vibrant and beautifully photographed profile of the land, the people, the history, and so much more.
On every page, in every recipe and note, the author captures the distinct taste of Sicily. How the simplest antipasti, brightly seasoned with nothing but lemon or vinegar, open the appetite—like a classic Octopus Salad or dish of Sautéed Black Olives. The little fried somethings—like an arancine or panelle—are easy, welcome, and nourishing. The Fresh Cavatelli, Pasta with Eggplant and Tomatoes, Bucatini with Sardines and Wild Fennel, and the eye-opening Anelletti Timballo explain why Sicilians are the biggest pasta eaters in the world. Festive meat dishes—such as Lamb-Stuffed Pastry, an Easter staple, or Grilled Sausage with Bay Leaves and Onions—are festive because the moment it’s holiday time, Sicilians everywhere head outside and fire up their grills. And for a people known for their passion for sweets, some famous Sicilian treats—Watermelon Pudding, Lemon Granita, Rolled Fig Cookies, and the pinnacle of desserts, the elaborate Sicilian Cake with Ricotta Cream and Marzipan. Along the way, the author delves into everything from cheese, couscous, and olives to Amaro and the importance of bitterness.
Visitors to Sicily often sense it to be a place unlike anywhere else—lost in time and a little bit secretive. The Food of Sicily opens a bright window on it, celebrating this wonderful food culture while honoring everything that makes it special.

The Guest
Summer is coming to a close on Long Island, and Alex is no longer welcome.
A misstep at a dinner party, and the older man she's been staying with dismisses her with a ride to the train station and a ticket back to the city.
With few resources and a waterlogged phone, but gifted with an ability to navigate the desires of others, Alex stays on Long Island and drifts like a ghost through the hedged lanes, gated driveways and sun-blasted dunes of a rarified world that is, at first, closed to her. Propelled by desperation and a mutable sense of morality, she spends the week leading up to the end of the holidays moving from one place to the next, a cipher leaving destruction in her wake.

La lunga strada di sabbia
The extraordinary picture story by Paolo Di Paolo, accompanied by texts by Pier Paolo Pasolini which documents and narrates Italians on vacation during Summer 1959, from the Tyrrhenian to the Adriatic Sea; from Ventimiglia to Trieste (from the western to the eastern border). In 1959 Paolo Di Paolo is a 34-year-old photographer collaborating with the cultural weekly magazine Il Mondo directed by Mario Pannunzio, and the widely distributed magazine Tempo. Pier Paolo Pasolini is a promising 37-year-old writer who had published The Best of Youth, The Street Kids and A Violent Life.He is not yet a film director. In Italy, the "economic miracle" has just begun. The newspapers tend to offer to Italian families a microcosm of mythical characters as a diversion to the dullness and fear of war, emigration, and poverty.
Arturo Tofanelli, editor in chief of the monthly Successo and the weekly Tempo, entrusts the two young men, Di Paolo and Pasolini, who did not know each other, to do a report on the Italian Summer Holidays that will be published by Successo magazine in three issues (July, August and September 1959). The writer and the photographer set off from Ventimiglia together, with the plan of travelling through the coasts of Italy to the south and climbing up to Trieste. But they have different visions.
"Pasolini was looking for a lost world of literary ghosts, an Italy that no longer existed," recalls Di Paolo. "I was looking for an Italy that was looking to the future. I conceived the title The Long Road of Sand meaning the strenuous road traveled by Italians to reach well-being and holidays after the War." A complex, delicate partnership is born between Pasolini and Di Paolo, they will travel together only the first stage of this journey, but this experience would later be consolidated in mutual respect and trust.
Text in English, German and Italian.

When the world as you know it has ended, when all that you love has been washed away, where do you find strength?
Calder and Eden are free from the stifling grasp of Acadia, but the new world they’ve stepped into is just as isolating.

But they do bear it. They survive. And when they meet by chance years later, happiness, for once, finally seems within their grasp.
Still, the past is a bright, burning pain between them, and Calder and Eden cannot truly move on until they lay it to rest. With Acadia’s story forced into the public eye and dangerous questions mounting, the two must untangle the truths of the life they came from to discover who they are and who they might become together.

Becoming Calder
The first book in the Acadia Duology, a forbidden friends-to-lovers romance, from the New York Times bestselling author of the TikTok sensation ARCHER'S VOICE.
The light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places, from the beginning of time to the end of the world.
There is a place in today's America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place, there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition.
In the community of Acadia lives a boy named Calder with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He serves his family with faith and honour, but he dares to dream of more . . . especially when an angel-faced girl his age is brought to their community. To Acadia, Eden is obedient perfection, prophesized to lead them to eternal peace, but to Calder, even at first glance, she is so much more.
Calder and Eden were never meant to be friends. Certainly never meant to fall in love. After all, Eden is betrothed to Acadia's leader, secluded until the day of her destiny. But as she and Calder steal fleeting moments and forbidden kisses, their hearts grow dangerously tangled, and it's too late to heed the warnings.
In Acadia, they can never be together. But Acadia is all they know. If they want any chance at a future, they must risk everything to choose between the life they were taught to live and the dream their hearts want to follow.
