The Táin
[A] brilliant and altogether engaging new translation (Los Angeles Times) of the greatest epic in Irish literature Dating from the eighth century, The Táin is the oldest Irish epic, a mythic tale on par with Beowulf and The Aeneid. Following legendary warrior Cù Chulainn into his battle against the invading army of Connacht, The Táin is the story of the emergence of a hero, a paean to the Irish landscape, and a bawdy and contentious marital farce. In its first translation in forty years, Ciaran Carson brings this seminal work of Irish literature fully to life, capturing all of its visceral power in what acclaimed poets Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon individually called one of the best books of the year.
Sharpe´s Escape

A lélek ereje - Útmutató minden napra
"Ami erő van bennem, az azokból a reggeli, csendes percekből ered, amelyekkel a napot kezdem. Azokból, amikor egyedül vagyok, és letérdelek. Azokból, amikor időt szakítok Istenre."
Bear Grylls a világ egyik leghíresebb természetjárója. Többször elment már az emberi erő legvégső határáig: kiállta a Brit Különleges Erők 21. SAS-ezredének hírhedt felvételi vizsgasorozatát, és ő lett a legfiatalabb hegymászó, aki feljutott az Everestre. De ez csak az egyik fele történetének. Tv-sorozataiból a magyar nézők is megismerhették a lehetetlent nem ismerő kalandort, aki most megosztja a nyilvánossággal, mi áll legvakmerőbb tettei hátterében. Az ejtőernyős ugrás során elszenvedett rettentő balesetétől kezdve a Grönland partjainál majdnem halálos tragédiával végződött hajós kalandjáig minden veszélyes vállalkozása során védte valami: a Krisztusba vetett hit.
Ebben a nyílt, merész és őszinte könyvben Bear többek között a barátság, a kudarc, a bátorság és a kockázat témakörét járja körül: rövid olvasni- és gondolkodnivalókat kínál, hogy segítsenek napjainkat békében, céltudatosan és hitben megerősödve tölteni. Ehhez elég naponta néhány percet szánni a Biblia tanításaira. A különösen fontos igék összeválogatása mellett a szerző megosztja velünk üzenetükhöz kapcsolódó gondolatait is. Hogy mindezt még színesebbé tegye, nemcsak saját élete fordulatos eseményeivel illusztrálja őket, de számos ismert kortárs vagy történelmi személy igaz történetét is feleleveníti.
Bear Grylls nem prédikál és nem térít, arra vezet rá, hogy a több ezer éves tanítások tökéletesen eleven, hasznos útmutatók a ma emberének is. Bear egyszerű, közvetlen, modern nyelven szól olvasójához, és bebizonyítja, hogy a mai napig nem írtak hitelesebb életvezetési tanácsadót, mint a Biblia. A tanítások az év minden napjára adnak egy csepp erőt, és a könyv végére érve az olvasó azt tapasztalja: e cseppek tengerré növekedtek benne.
BEAR GRYLLS fiatalkorában harcművészeteket tanult, majd a Brit Különleges Erők kötelékében fejlesztette mesterfokra azokat a túlélési technikákat, amelyek az egész világon ismertté tették. Televíziós túlélőműsorait, extrém kalandsorozatait világszerte sok millióan nézték, emellett számos kötet szerzője, köztük a Magyarországon is bestsellerré vált Tűzön-vízen át! című könyvé.
Jelmondata egyszerű: bátorság és szeretet... és ne add fel soha!

A Paris All Your Own
A collection of all-new Paris-themed essays written by some of the biggest names in women's fiction, including Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler, Maggie Shipstead, and Lauren Willig--edited by Eleanor Brown, the New York Times bestselling author of The Weird Sisters and The Light of Paris. "My time in Paris," says New York Times-bestselling author Paula McLain (The Paris Wife), "was like no one else's ever." For each of the eighteen bestselling authors in this warm, inspiring, and charming collection of personal essays on the City of Light, nothing could be more true. While all of the women writers featured here have written books connected to Paris, their personal stories of the city are wildly different. Meg Waite Clayton (The Race for Paris) and M. J. Rose (The Book of Lost Fragrances) share the romantic secrets that have made Paris the destination for lovers for hundreds of years. Susan Vreeland (The Girl in Hyacinth Blue) and J. Courtney Sullivan (The Engagements) peek behind the stereotype of snobbish Parisians to show us the genuine kindness of real people. From book club favorites Paula McLain, Therese Anne Fowler (Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald), and anthology editor Eleanor Brown (The Light of Paris) to mystery writer Cara Black (Murder in the Marais), historical author Lauren Willig (The Secret History of the Pink Carnation), and memoirist Julie Powell (Julie and Julia), these Parisian memoirs range from laugh-out-loud funny to wistfully romantic to thoughtfully somber and reflective. Perfect for armchair travelers and veterans of Parisian pilgrimages alike, readers will delight in these brand-new tales from their most beloved authors.

The Last Word
This is the new novel from Hanif Kureishi: an outrageous, clever and very funny story of sex, lies, art and what defines a life. Mamoon is an eminent Indian-born writer who has made a career in England - but now, in his early 70s, his reputation is fading, sales have dried up, and his new wife has expensive taste. Harry, a young writer, is commissioned to write a biography to revitalise both Mamoon's career and his bank balance. Harry greatly admires Mamoon's work and wants to uncover the truth of the artist's life. Harry's publisher seeks a more naked truth, a salacious tale of sex and scandal that will generate headlines. Meanwhile Mamoon himself is mining a different vein of truth altogether. Harry and Mamoon find themselves in a battle of wills, but which of them will have the last word? The ensuing struggle for dominance raises issues of love and desire, loyalty and betrayal, and the frailties of age versus the recklessness of youth. Hanif Kureishi has created a tale brimming with youthful exuberance, as hilarious as it is touching, where words have the power to forge a world.

Today We Die a Little
LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD. SHORTLISTED FOR THE CROSS SPORTS BOOK AWARDS BIOGRAPHY OF THE YEAR. The definitive biography of one of the greatest, most extraordinary runners and Olympic heroes of all time, from the author of running classic Feet in the Clouds. Emil Zatopek won five Olympic medals, set 18 world records, and went undefeated over 10,000 metres for six years. He redefined the boundaries of endurance, training in Army boots, in snow, in sand, in darkness. But his toughness was matched by a spirit of friendship and a joie de vivre that transcended the darkest days of the Cold War. His triumphs put his country on the map, yet when Soviet tanks moved in to crush Czechoslovakia's new freedoms in 1968, Zatopek paid a heavy personal price for his brave defence of 'socialism with a human face'. Rehabilitated two decades later, he was a shadow of the man he had been - and the world had all but forgotten him. Today We Die A Little strips away the myths to tell the complex and deeply moving story of the most inspiring Olympic hero of them all.
The Last Palace
For any reader of Edmund de Waal's THE HARE WITH THE AMBER EYES or Erik Larson's IN THE GARDENS OF BEASTS, Norman L Eisen's THE LAST PALACE tells the story of the tumultuous past 100 years in Europe as seen from the most beautiful house in Prague, the Petschek Villa. The Petschek Villa was Norman L Eisen's home during his tenure as US ambassador. In his remarkable book, he details the colourful lives of five of the palace's residents: - the optimistic Jewish financial baron who built the Petschek Villa after World War I as a statement of his faith in Europe, and who died of a broken heart after Europe brutally rejected him, his house, and his hopes - the cultured, complex German general who occupied the palace during World War II, ultimately saving the house and Prague itself from destruction - the American ambassador and Holocaust hero who became obsessed with the property after the war, acquiring it for the US, though neglecting to fight the Communist takeover of Czechoslovakia in the process- his successor 40 years later, an iconic former child star who used her showbiz wiles, with the house as her stage, to help the Velvet Revolution succeed in restoring Czechoslovak democracy- and the author, Norman L Eisen, the son of a Czech Auschwitz survivor, who moved into the palace once seized by the Nazis and found himself battling the lingering ghosts of European intolerance The Last Palace weaves a tapestry that is as vast and as intricate as any that hang in the palace itself.
It is also an exploration of the wider themes in international history that have triggered three global wars (two hot and one cold), and threatens the peace of our world today.

Juliet, Naked
Now in paperback-"The New York Times" bestselling novel of rock 'n roll, super fandom, and love, by the beloved author of "About a Boy" and "High Fidelity." Nick Hornby returns to his roots-music and messy relationships-in this funny and touching new novel which thoughtfully and sympathetically looks at how lives can be wasted but how they are never beyond redemption. Annie lives in a dull town on England's bleak east coast and is in a relationship with Duncan which mirrors the place; Tucker was once a brilliant songwriter and performer, who's gone into seclusion in rural America-or at least that's what his fans think. Duncan is obsessed with Tucker's work, to the point of derangement, and when Annie dares to go public on her dislike of his latest album, there are quite unexpected, life-changing consequences for all three. Nick Hornby uses this intriguing canvas to explore why it is we so often let the early promise of relationships, ambition and indeed life evaporate. And he comes to some surprisingly optimistic conclusions about the struggle to live up to one's promise.
