The Gloaming
'The best lives leave a mark.'
A bewitching tale of first love, shattering grief, and the dangerous magic that draws us home.
Mara's island is one of stories and magic, but every story ends in the same way. She will finish her days on the cliff, turned to stone and gazing out at the horizon like all the islanders before her.
Mara's parents - a boxer and a ballerina - chose this enchanted place as a refuge from the turbulence of their previous lives; they wanted to bring up their children somewhere special and safe. But the island and the sea don't care what people want, and when they claim a price from her family, Mara's world unravels.
It takes the arrival of Pearl, mysterious and irresistible, to light a spark in Mara again, and allow her to consider a different story for herself.
The Gloaming is a gorgeous tale of love and grief, and the gap between fairy tales and real life.

Bloody Brilliant People: The Couples And Partnerships That History Forgot
'Sometimes, 1+1 = changing the world. Cathy Newman's witty, warm history on the power of determined couples will make you look at your relationship and wonder, "Could we be doing more this weekend than just going to IKEA?"' CAITLIN MORAN
From rivals propelling each other forwards to friends combining their talents, it's clear: often two heads are better than one.
How did William and Ellen Craft work together to pull off a perilous cross-country escape from slavery? How did the queer artists Marcel Moore and Claude Cahun become icons of the surrealist movement, then heroines of the resistance in the Second World War? Why couldn't Steve Jobs have started Apple alone?
Vibrant, feminist and unexpected, Cathy Newman rewrites the history books to expose this strange power of two - and to ask why certain collaborators are so often left out of the narrative.
SAFARI PLAZ
Léto na opuštěné pláži... slunce, surf, krásné holky... a nesmělý, zamilovaný králík. Komiksová novela německého autora Mawila vychází po USA, Španělsku a Francii také česky. Mawil, vl. jménem Markus Witzel, patří k největším talentům německé autorské scény a tamní kritika jej označuje za komiksového Woodyho Allena. V jeho tvorbě se objevují dvě základní linie - autobiografické příběhy a příhody brýlatého králíčka hledajícího své místo ve světě lidí. Pro obě z nich je příznačný Wawilův skvělý pozorovací talent, cit pro atmosféru, fascinace něžným pohlavím a smysl pro humor s melancholíckým nádechem.
Hype Machine
On 2 November 2023, in one of the largest fraud trials in history, Sam Bankman-Fried was found guilty of stealing billions of dollars from the customers of his crypto-exchange, FTX.
How did this 31-year-old Californian in shorts and a T-shirt manage to become one of the most famous CEOs in the world? How did greed, fear and free money inflate the crypto bubble until it finally popped with devastating consequences for millions of people who lost money in the crash? Who were the enablers, investors and innovators who transformed the original promise of crypto into a digital Wild West?
Hype Machine is the definitive story of the boom and bust of crypto, written by award-winning Financial Times journalist Joshua Oliver. Expansive, nuanced and eminently entertaining, it demystifies the crypto circus by following the journeys of its most influential participants and the trajectory of SBF, its enigmatic ringmaster.
Oliver, who reported on the crypto crash with extensive access to SBF himself, introduces readers to the people and ideas that shaped crypto's wild rise and fall, including Arthur Hayes, Changpeng Zhao and the coterie of acolytes who surrounded FTX. Through exclusive interviews, compelling research and with ringside seats at the trial of the decade, he paints a vivid, detailed and tragi-comic picture of this defining financial moment of our times.
Every Man for Himself and God against All
The long-awaited memoir by the legendary filmmaker and celebrated author. Told in Werner Herzog's inimitable voice, this is the story of his epic artistic career, as inventive and daring as anything he has done before.
Hauling a steamship over a mountain in the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - Werner Herzog has always been intrigued by extremes of human experience. Here, he illuminates the influences and ideas that have driven his creativity and shaped his unique worldview.
Herzog's life matches the drama of his famous films: the boy growing up in poverty in a small village in the Alps after the Second World War; the teenager travelling the world in search of adventure that almost cost him his life; the director trying to calm his leading actor Klaus Kinski in the Amazonian jungle. And along the way, Herzog tells of ordinary people with extraordinary stories: rural labourers, circus acrobats, child soldiers.
Every Man for Himself and God Against All is at once a personal record of one of the great self-invented lives of our time, and a masterpiece that will enthral fans old and new. In a hypnotic swirl of memory, Herzog untangles and relives his most important experiences and inspirations, telling his story for the first and only time.
Sky High!
The first book on aviation history of its kind, covering everything that flies in one spectacular comic album about our conquest of the skies. Sky High! introduces you to a whole ensemble of scientists, inventors and builders: those from the distant past, such as Leonardo da Vinci and the Montgolfier brothers; those closer to our time, such as the Wright brothers or Otto Lilienthal; and current innovators, who have new, amazing ideas. You will take a look at how brilliant inventions and iconic machines were created, and learn about the breakthrough moments in the development of aviation.
You will also meet brave aviators, daring aerial circus performers and test pilots. You will see how a jet engine works, how aircraft carrier staff work and how it feels to travel in an airship. You will see the cockpit of a fighter jet and the Jumbo Jet's cargo hold up close, and you will also see if it is possible to build an airplane in...
a garage. In an accessible and funny form, you will learn the answers to the most important questions: how do planes not fall from the sky? How does a radar or parachute work? Are wings or rotors better? The fascinating history of aviation is a story of countless ups and downs, which proves that even the wildest dream can become a reality. It's time to fasten your seatbelts.

Nero Dolce & Gabbana
Black, the most powerful and overwhelming color, is the symbol of Dolce&Gabbana and encapsulates opposite feelings that attract: sensuality and rigor, tragedy and love.
But Dolce&Gabbana goes beyond the sartorial perfection of their clothes: it is first and foremost a way of being, questioning, and thinking.
In this large format book, printed in black and white, the great masters of Italian and international reportage, who have portrayed Sicily since the 1950s, are contrasted with the most important fashion photographers, who have interpreted Dolce&Gabbana Black from behind their lenses since the 1980s. These include Sergio Larrain, Bruno Barbey, Ellen von Unwerth, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Mert&Marcus, Helmut Newton, Peter Lindberg, Paolo Roversi, and Giuseppe Tornatore.
In these photographic masterpieces, which range from advertising campaigns to the most iconic editorials and shots never before seen by the general public, published here for the first time, the stars of cinema, entertainment, and the fashion system – featuring Monica Bellucci, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Jennifer Lopez, and Madonna among others – will alternate with suggestive portraits of ordinary people, in a constant dialog that puts Dolce&Gabbana Black at the center.

A megriadt hölgy esete
"Különös alakot vett észre az éjszaka homályában.. Hogy az ördögbe kerül ide lándzsás hindu harcos, ráadásul éjnek idején?... hirtelen vérfagyasztó halálordítás verte föl az éjszaka csöndjét. Briggs úgy érezte, hogy minden haja szála égnek mered." A kis faluban történt fojtogatások ügyében a Scotland Yard emberei - élükön Tanner fõfelügyelõvel - nyomoznak. A szálak hamarosan egy õsi nemes család kastélyába vezetnek, ahol rejtélyes dolgok történnek. A szellemesen megírt könyv végére azonban minden titokra fény derül. A szerzõrõl: Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) az angol krimi-, újság- és színmûíró számos népszerû kaland és detektívregény szerzõje volt. Már életében "a krimi királyaként" ünnepelték. Haditudósítóként dolgozott az orosz-japán háború során, hazatérését követõen írta meg elsõ könyvét, a Négy igaz embert. Korának hallatlanul termékeny és sikeres írója volt, mintegy 176 regényt és számos novellát írt 1932-ben bekövetkezett haláláig.

Ötórai tea - Az örömteli alkonyévekért
Közel húsz éve nyugdíjas, 75 éves orvosnő vagyok, s az életemmel elégedetten, jó egészségben, ma is kedvemre való elfoglaltságokkal, jó emberi kapcsolatokban élem az alkony éveket.
Ötórai teát választottam e könyv címéül. Szeretném, ha ez a munka is olyan kellemesen és hatékonyan segítené szebbé tenni az alkonyévekhez közeledő, vagy azt már el is érő emberek életét, miként az ötórai tea teszi mindazokkal, akik ezt a kedves és hasznos szokást magukévá tették. []
Az általam kipróbált, bevált életmód program megfogalmazásánál alapvető szempontom volt, hogy nem kívántam szenvedve, lemondások garmadáját vállalva végiglihegni, s a régi kedvenc ételeimnek az illatát is elkerülve, végig koplalni a hátralévő éveimet, cserébe egy hosszabb, egészségesebb életért. []
Tervem az volt, hogy az egészségtudatos gondolkodásból fakadó, megfontolt döntésekből következő változtatásokkal, hasznos, de kellemes tevékenységekkel megvalósíthassam a vágyott harmóniát és jó közérzetet, javíthassam testi-lelki teherbírásomat, ellenálló képességemet.
Elmondhatom, sikerült! Ma, 75 évesen egészségesebb vagyok, mint 20 évvel ezelőtt, szabadnak és gyakran boldognak is érzem magamat.

Bob Dylan: Mixing up the Medicine
Several years ago, a treasure trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics, notebooks, and diverse ephemera— comprise one of the most important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is the first wide-angle look at the Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national and international audience as well.
Edited by Mark Davidson and Parker Fishel, BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE focuses a close look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio recording, and into the present day.
The centerpiece of BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is a carefully curated selection of over 600 images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings, photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished writers, artists and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus, Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but also their own.
BOB DYLAN: MIXING UP THE MEDICINE is an unprecedented glimpse into the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking, influential and enduring artists.

A szerelem foglyai
Marcus Pierce, a veszedelmesen jóképű, nőfaló hírében álló arisztokrata a grófi címmel együtt megörökli Arabella Loring és két húga gyámságát, és azon nyomban közli velük, hogy szándékában áll gazdagon kiházasítani őket. De a gyönyörűséges és makrancos Arabella már első találkozásuk alkalmával mélyen erotikus feszültséget kelt Marcusban. Szenvedélyes pengeváltásuk után Marcus úgy dönt, hogy mindenáron megszerzi ezt a gyönyörű és tűzről pattant teremtést. Arabella, akinek egyszer már összetörték a szívét, örökre lemondott a férfiakról és a házasságról. Csupán arra vágyik, hogy háborítatlanul vezethesse az ifjú hölgyek számára létesített iskoláját. Ám mégis elfogadja Marcus vakmerő kihívását: ha a gróf el tudja csavarni a fejét két hét alatt, akkor a felesége lesz. Ha azonban képes ellenállni a férfi csábítási kísérleteinek, ő és a húgai végleg elnyerik függetlenségüket. És ezzel kezdetét veszi az erotikus fordulatokban gazdag szerelmi csatározás...
