Torpor
It's Summer, 1991, the dawning of the New World Order; a post-MTV, pre-AOL generation. Jerome Shafir and Sylvie Green, two former New Yorkers who can no longer afford an East Village apartment, set off on a journey across the entire former Soviet Bloc with the intention of adopting a Romanian orphan. Unflinchingly dark, hilarious and moving - Torpor is at once a satire and philosophy of cultural history, social identity and failing relationships. Dipping into the trajectory of a life at different moments, Kraus interrogates convention and emotion, creating characters that are flawed, witty, and altogether true to life. Part prequel, part sequel, Torpor continues a project of life-writing; personal, unsparing, and triumphant. If I Love Dick is the book of your 20s, Torpor is the book of your 30s.

Enough Said - What's gone wrong with the language of politics?
LONGLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 2017 How do we discuss serious ideas in the age of 24-hour news? What was rhetoric in the past and what should it be now? And what does Islamic State have in common with Donald Trump? We've never had more information or more opportunity to debate the issues of the day. Yet the relationship between politicians, the media and the public is characterised by suspicion, mistrust and apathy. What has gone wrong? Enough Said reveals how political, social and technological change has transformed our political landscape - and how we talk about the issues that affect us all. Political rhetoric has become stale and the mistrust of politicians has made voters flock to populists who promise authenticity, honesty and truth instead of spin, evasiveness and lies. Featuring Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin, Tony Blair and George Osborne, Silvio Berlusconi and many more star performers, Enough Said shows how public language is losing its power, and how an ominous gap is opening between the governed and those who govern. The result of decades of first-hand experience of politics and media, this is an essential, brilliant diagnosis of what we should stop doing and what we should start doing in order to reinvigorate Western democracy.

The Minute I Saw You
WITH BONUS SHORT STORY AND NEW AUTHOR Q&A EXCLUSIVE TO THE PAPERBACK EDITION
The brand new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author Paige Toon. The perfect summer read for 2020!
When Hannah meets Sonny, she's irresistibly drawn to him: he's sexy and confident, but only in town on holiday. That's fine with Hannah - she doesn't do long-term relationships. And luckily for her, neither does Sonny. But before they can even so much as kiss, Sonny receives some shocking news and commits to making serious life changes - ones that can't and won't include romance.
With even a short fling now off the cards, Hannah and Sonny settle for being friends. But as summer hots up and their chemistry shows no signs of cooling, they start to question their reasons for shutting each other out.
Are they both too broken to find love? And if they tear down the walls between them, will they still like what's on the other side?

Banská Štiavnica (EN) & Region
Banská Štiavnica is a jewel among Slovak towns and one of the most beautiful towns in Central Europe. Once the third largest city of the Hungarian Empire, it had been the richest source of gold and silver in Europe. Palaces in Vienna and Budapest were built from riches mined here. The Royal Court, wars as well as emerging science, all financed by Banská Štiavnica´s gold and silver, too. It was in Banská Štiavnica, where gun powder was used to rock blast for the first time. The first technical college in Europe was also established here. Banská Štaivnica´s palaces and burgher houses, statues and churches, all were built by recognized European architects and artists. The historical centre of the town has been preserved in its original look until today. Since 1993, Banská Štiavnica is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The first guidebook about Banská Štiavnica and region was made by a team of local authors. Their aim was to provide visitors with a compact and interesting guide of the favourite tourist destination. The guidebook takes you for a journey through history, architecture and attractions of the town, provides information about trips to region, cafés and restaurants, culture and fun events and suggests tips for families. The book including maps is available in Slovak and English.
Záhrobná kniha
Každý cintorín je plný preludov a duchov mŕtvych. Živí aj mŕtvi majú svoj svet. Tieto svety by sa nemali prelínať. V jednu noc sa však hranica medzi nimi poruší. Z domu, kde vrah zanechá tri mŕtve telá, štvornožky vyjde malé dieťa a vedené inštinktom sa v polnočnej tme vyberie hľadať útočisko na starodávnom cintoríne. Tam si nájde nových rodičov – múdreho pestúna Silasa a prísnu učiteľku Lupescovú – a začne žiť nový život, preniká do tajomstiev tajuplného prostredia a jeho obyvateľov, až napokon odhalí aj vraha svojich rodičov. Majster slova Neil Gaiman prináša čitateľom magický príbeh o živote a smrti, o láske a dospievaní, o nájdení novej rodiny na tom najzáhadnejšom mieste. Mrazivý príbeh plný mágie a tajomnej atmosféry cintorína, kde ticho okrem vo vetre šumiaceho lístia a lepkavej tmy zachádzajúcej pod nechty narúša aj život jeho právoplatných obyvateľov...

Suburra
Ostiában, Róma tengerparti részén hírhedt fővárosi bűnszövetkezetek, a maffia és korrupt politikusok egy több száz millió eurós beruházást próbálnak megszerezni maguknak, ám egy váratlan esemény bandaháborút robbant ki.
Silvio Berlusconi hatalmának utolsó napjaiban vagyunk. Egy hatalmas fejlesztési terv Ostiát kaszinóvárossá, a mediterrán Las Vegasszá alakítaná át. A terv jó úton halad, hogy keresztülmenjen az olasz törvényhozó testületen, köszönhetően több politikus befolyásának, egyházi döntéshozóknak és bűnügyi szervezetek kenőpénzeinek. Mindenki szeretne egy szeletet kapni a tortából. Azonban egy kisebb helyi banda, amelyet senkihez és semmihez nem köt hűség, ennél többre vágyik. És a céljai eléréséért bármire képes. A maffia és politikai bábjaik viszont nem nézik ölbe tett kézzel a fejleményeket, és a szervezett bűnözésben kitör a környék legnagyobb háborúja. Szamuráj, az alvilág vezére hideg józansággal készül rendet tenni, de nem számol Marco Malatesta csendőr alezredessel.
Giancarlo de Cataldo és Carlo Bonini regénye a 2010-es évek egyik legfontosabb műve, ami napjaink olasz maffiáját és a velejéig romlott és korrupt Rómát ábrázolja. Sodró lendületével és utánozhatatlan hangulatával a Suburra gyorsan kultkönyvvé vált Olaszországban, a Netflix több évados, népszerű sorozatra adaptálta, és nemrég megjelent az USA-ban is, ahol olyan nagyságok műveihez hasonlították, mint Dennis Lehane és Richard Price, míg a sorozat hatását a Dróthoz mérik.

The Gospel of the Eels
'I can't recall us ever talking about anything other than eels and how to best catch them, down there by the stream. Actually, I can't remember us speaking at all. Maybe because we never did.'
The European eel, Anguilla anguilla, is one of the strangest creatures nature ever created. Remarkably little is known about the eel, even today. What we do know is that it's born as a tiny willow-leaf shaped larva in the Sargasso Sea, travels on the ocean currents toward the coasts of Europe - a journey of about four thousand miles that takes at least two years. Upon arrival, it transforms itself into a glass eel and then into a yellow eel before it wanders up into fresh water. It lives a solitary life, hiding from both light and science, for ten, twenty, fifty years, before migrating back to the sea in the autumn, morphing into a silver eel and swimming all the way back to the Sargasso Sea, where it breeds and dies.
And yet . . . There is still so much we don't know about eels. No human has ever seen eels reproduce; no one can give a complete account of the eel's metamorphoses or say why they are born and die in the Sargasso Sea; no human has even seen a mature eel in the Sargasso Sea. Ever. And now the eel is disappearing, and we don't know exactly why.
What we do know is that eels and their mysterious lives captivate us.
This is the basis for The Gospel of the Eels, Patrik Svensson's quite unique natural science memoir; his ongoing fascination with this secretive fish, but also the equally perplexing and often murky relationship he shared with his father, whose only passion in life was fishing for this obscure creature.
Through the exploration of eels in literature (Gunter Grass and Graham Swift feature, amongst others) and the history of science (we learn about Aristotle's and Sigmund Freud's complicated relationships with eels) as well as modern marine biology (Rachel Carson and others) we get to know this peculiar animal. In this exploration, we also learn about the human condition, life and death, through natural science and nature writing at its very best.
As Patrik Svensson concludes: 'by writing about eels, I have in some ways found my way home again.'

Az üvegbura - Mary Ventura és a Kilencedik királyság
"Furcsa, fülledt nyár volt, azon a nyáron ültették villamosszékbe Rosenbergéket, és én nem tudtam, mit keresek New Yorkban."
Egy idegösszeomlás története kezdődik ezekkel a szavakkal. A tizenkilenc éves Esther Greenwoodnak Amerika tálcán kínálja a karriert: felveszik ösztöndíjjal a legjobb iskolába, majd tizenkettedmagával megnyeri egy divatlap pályázatát, egy hónapra New Yorkba kerül, fogadások, díszebédek, hírességek forgatagába. Csakhogy ő valami többet és tisztábbat vár a társadalomtól, mint az őtőle, és ezért nem tud beilleszkedni a nagy gépezetbe. "Nagyon-nagyon csendesnek és üresnek éreztem magam, akár egy tornádó magja, ahogy csak sodródik kábultan a körülötte tomboló pokoli zűrzavar legközepén." A történet ennek a baljós hasonlatnak a kibontakozása, a betegség első tüneteitől a közönyös pszichiáter kontárul alkalmazott elektrosokk-terápiáján át a hajszál híján sikeres öngyilkosságig. Végül a gyógyulás tétova stációi következnek, az életbe visszavezető út lehetőségét sejtetve - ami a valóságban tragikusan ideiglenesnek bizonyult.
Mert Az üvegbura önéletrajzi mű: az újabb angol-amerikai líra talán legeredetibb tehetségének egyetlen nagyobb szabású prózai alkotása. Megjelenésének évében Sylvia Plath öngyilkos lett.
"- De mi az a Kilencedik királyság?
- Az a tagadás királysága, a fagyott akaraté. Ha odaér a Kilencedik királyságba, nincs visszatérés."
Homályos, szimbolikus, több megfejtést rejtő mese a Mary Ventura és a Kilencedik királyság rövidke története.

Érzéki csábító (Csábító-sorozat 2.)
"Egy forró, lehengerlő történet tele izgalommal." - Kitablar blog
Ahhoz, hogy meglásd a lényeget, nem ítélkezned, hanem szeretned kell!
Bár Niko és Olivia ellentétes oldalon játszott, a sorsuk egyre inkább összefonódott. A kölcsönös vonzalom és a tragikus körülmények egymás felé sodorták őket. Hiába tudják mindketten, hogy a köztük lévő fellángolásnak nem lehet jövője, már nem a józan ész, hanem az érzelmeik irányítják őket. A legnagyobb küzdelmeket már nem az ellenfeleikkel, hanem a saját démonaikkal vívják.
Olivia lelke bosszúért kiált, melyhez az erejét Nikoból nyeri. Nikoról viszont mindennap lehull egy újabb álarc. Oliviára van szüksége ahhoz, hogy visszataláljon eredeti önmagához. A határok elmosódnak. Felvállalva az egymás iránt érzett szenvedélyt, beláthatatlan következmények áradata zúdul a nyakukba. Niko hiábavaló csatát vív saját múltjának elnyomásáért, egy új élet megteremtéséért. Rá kell döbbenniük, az elkövetett vétkeik elől nem menekülhetnek.
Ahogy telik az idő, úgy lesz egyre nagyobb a kockázat is. Az ellenségeik pedig lesben állva várnak, hogy hibát kövessenek el...
Az Érzéki csábító a Csábító-sorozat második része. A többszörösen Aranykönyv-díjra jelölt írónő legújabb, szenvedélyes és váratlan bonyodalmakkal teli modern kori romantikus történetében semmi nem az, aminek látszik. A történet a Végzetes csábító című kötetben folytatódik.

500 Pendants and lockets
One look at these breathtaking suspended neck ornaments, and it’s clear why Lark’s series of jewelry design books has become so wildly popular. Every pendant is a masterful work of art, whether it’s symbolic and purposeful (amulets, talismans, and charms) or purely decorative. Juried by Mike Holmes and Elizabeth Shypertt, co-founders of the esteemed jewelry gallery Velvet da Vinci, this beautiful color collection includes pieces crafted from diverse materials and techniques (including forging, casting, forming, and stone setting). “Fecund,” Tricia Lachowiec’s intricate construction of oxidized sterling silver, electroformed copper, enamel, and resin, is every bit as luscious as its title suggests. In “0210,” Seth Papac constructs a ghostly and atmospheric cityscape out of poplar wood, architectural siding, and building materials, as well as gold, silver, and elastic. Jane Adam’s signature use of softly colored aluminum always astounds, and decidedly so in “Flower Pendant” with its multiple fronds of gracefully arching metal. Jewelers, metalsmiths, and collectors will all find inspiration in these one-of-a-kind works.
