Clarity - A tisztánlátó
Ne hunyd be a szemed.
Kivéve akkor, ha a sötét valóságot már nem tudod elviselni.
Clarity "Clare" Fern tisztán lát dolgokat. Olyanokat, amelyek mások előtt rejtve maradnak. Látja a lopott csókokat, a rég eltemetett titkokat. Elég megérintenie egy tárgyat, és víziók törnek rá. Veleszületett képessége adomány. De átok is egyben.
Amikor egy fiatal lány gyilkosság áldozata lesz, felbukkan Clare volt fiúja, hogy segítségét kérje az ügy felderítésében - noha Clare még mindig haragszik a hűtlen fickóra.
Aztán Clare szintén természetfeletti képességekkel rendelkező bátyja a gyilkosság fő gyanúsítottja lesz, és a lány többé már nem maradhat ki az ügyből. Gabriellel, az új rendőrfelügyelő vonzó fiával társulva, Clare bemerészkedik a rettegés, a megtorlás és az érzékiség mélységeibe, hogy a gyilkos nyomára bukkanjanak.
De vajon kivételes képessége nem hagyja-e cserben pont akkor, mikor a legnagyobb szüksége lenne rá? Szereted a Vörös pöttyös könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan! Tetszeni fog.

Love in the Time of Cholera
Nobel prize winner and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude Gabriel Garcia Marquez tells a tale of an unrequited love that outlasts all rivals in his masterpiece Love in the Time of Cholera. 'It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.' Fifty-one years, nine months and four days have passed since Fermina Daza rebuffed hopeless romantic Florentino Ariza's impassioned advances and married Dr Juvenal Urbino instead. During that half-century, Flornetino has fallen into the arms of many delighted women, but has loved none but Fermina. Having sworn his eternal love to her, he lives for the day when he can court her again. When Fermina's husband is killed trying to retrieve his pet parrot from a mango tree, Florentino seizes his chance to declare his enduring love. But can young love find new life in the twilight of their lives?

Charlotte
Nem csupán arról van szó, hogy nem kedvelem. Nem bízom meg benne… Charlotte kényszeres örömszerző – nem tehet róla, de túllő a célon. Így amikor egyik éjszaka egy eszméletlen emberbe botlik, mi sem természetesebb, mint hogy segíteni akar. Közelebb kerülve az áldozat szerető családjához azonnal látja, mennyire szükségük van rá. De amíg a férfi szülei boldogan befogadják maguk közé, a nővérével egészen más a helyzet: nemcsak arról van szó, hogy Rebecca nem kedveli őt, hanem kimondottan bizalmatlan Charlotte-tal szemben. De a lány minél több időt tölt Rebecca társaságában, annál inkább gyanítja, hogy annak valami rejtegetnivalója van. És ha Charlotte meg akarja védeni ezt a családot – és magát –, mindent meg kell tennie azért, hogy kiderítse, mi ez a titok. Egy hazugságokról, megszállottságról, bosszúról szóló fordulatos történet, ami az utolsó oldalig bizonytalanságban tart, hogy kinek hihetünk. Tökéletes választás a Clare Mackintosh és Laura Marshall rajongóknak. „Ez az egyik legjobb thriller, amit az utóbbi időben olvastam: megnöveli a pulzusszámot, és az izgalmat az elejétől a végéig fenntartja.” Kirkus Reviews „Nagyon tetszett a könyv, úgyhogy be is fogom mutatni a könyvklubomban. Olyan sok váratlan fordulat volt benne, amely mind arra késztetett, hogy folytassam az olvasást! Izgalomban tartottak Charlotte és Rebecca különböző történetei és nézőpontjai. El tudnám képzelni, hogy film készüljön belőle.” Amazon „Szerintem határozottan ötcsillagos! Ha kedveled az olyan történeteket, amelyek tele vannak csavarokkal, és amelyeket olvasva úgy érzed, nincs nyugtod, ezért a legszívesebben áthajítanád a könyvet a szobán, aztán újra felvennéd, ez a könyv neked való!” Goodreads „Elképesztően élveztem a történetet. Ahogy a főszereplő múltjára lépésről lépésre derül fény, lehetőségünk adódik hátborzongató jellemhibákat és viselkedési furcsaságokat megtapasztalni. Egyszerűen nem tudtam letenni!” Wordery „Briliáns és izgalmas cselekmény! Érdekes film lenne. Egészen a legvégéig kitartanak a rejtélyek… A jellemrajzok csak növelik a borzongást. Kiváló pszichológiai thriller.” Booklist

War and Art
This sumptuously illustrated volume, edited by eminent war historian Joanna Bourke, offers a comprehensive visual, cultural and historical account of the ways in which armed conflict has been represented in art. Covering the last two centuries, the book shows how the artistic portrayal of war changed, from a celebration of heroic exploits to a more modern, truthful depiction of warfare and its consequences.

Introduction by Joanna Bourke, with essays by Jon Bird, Monica Bohm-Duchen, Joanna Bourke, Grace Brockington, James Chapman, Michael Corris, Patrick Crogan, Jo Fox, Paul Gough, Gary Haines, Clare Makepeace, Sue Malvern, Sergiusz Michalski, Manon Pignot, Anna Pilkington, Nicholas J.

The Inner Level
The essential new book from the authors of the international bestseller The Spirit Level
'Why are people, particularly young people, experiencing increasing levels of mental illness and distress? Highly readable and authoritative, The Inner Level shows clearly how social anxieties and the problems they lead to rise steadily in richer, more unequal societies' Clare Short, The Tablet, Books of the Year
Why is the incidence of mental illness in the UK twice that in Germany? Why are Americans three times more likely than the Dutch to develop gambling problems? Why is child well-being so much worse in New Zealand than Japan? As this groundbreaking study demonstrates, the answer to all these hinges on inequality.
In The Spirit Level Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett put inequality at the centre of public debate
by showing conclusively that less-equal societies fare worse than more equal ones across everything
from education to life expectancy. The Inner Level now explains how inequality affects us individually,
how it alters how we think, feel and behave. It sets out the overwhelming evidence that material
inequalities have powerful psychological effects: when the gap between rich and poor increases, so does the tendency to defi ne and value ourselves and others in terms of superiority and inferiority. A deep well of data and analysis is drawn upon to empirically show, for example, that low social status is associated with elevated levels of stress, and how rates of anxiety and depression are intimately related to the inequality which makes that status paramount.
Wilkinson and Pickett describe how these responses to hierarchies evolved, and why the impacts of
inequality on us are so severe. In doing so, they challenge the conception that humans are innately
competitive and self-interested. They undermine, too, the idea that inequality is the product of 'natural' differences in individual ability. This book sheds new light on many of the most urgent problems facing societies today, but it is not just an index of our ills. It demonstrates that societies based on fundamental equalities, sharing and reciprocity generate much higher levels of well-being, and lays out the path towards them.

'SMART, EMOTIONAL, INTRIGUING AND COMPELLING - I LOVED IT!' JILL MANSELL
'Full of twists and turns, this is a heart-breaking yet uplifting story about love and friendship, and is one of this year's must-reads' Heat magazine *****
Perfect for fans of Me Before You and One Day, this heart-breaking story of love, loss and life will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about destiny...
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Type-A Manhattan lawyer Dannie Kohan has been in possession of her meticulously crafted answer since she understood the question. On the day that she nails the most important job interview of her career and gets engaged to the perfect man, she's well on her way to fulfilling her life goals.
That night Dannie falls asleep only to wake up in a different apartment with a different ring on her finger, and in the company of a very different man. The TV is on in the background, and she can just make out the date. It's the same night - December 15th - but 2025, five years in the future.
It was just a dream, she tells herself when she wakes, but it felt so real... Determined to ignore the odd experience, she files it away in the back of her mind.
That is, until four and a half years later, when Dannie turns down a street and there, standing on the corner, is the man from her dream...
In Five Years is a love story, brimming with joy and heartbreak. But it is definitely not the love story you're expecting.

Not in Gods Name
Despite predictions of continuing secularisation, the twenty-first century has witnessed a surge of religious extremism and violence in the name of God.
In this powerful and timely book, Jonathan Sacks explores the roots of violence and its relationship to religion, focusing on the historic tensions between the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
Drawing on arguments from evolutionary psychology, game theory, history, philosophy, ethics and theology, Sacks shows how a tendency to violence can subvert even the most compassionate of religions. Through a close reading of key biblical texts at the heart of the Abrahamic faiths, Sacks then challenges those who claim that religion is intrinsically a cause of violence, and argues that theology must become part of the solution if it is not to remain at the heart of the problem.
This book is a rebuke to all those who kill in the name of the God of life, wage war in the name of the God of peace, hate in the name of the God of love, and practise cruelty in the name of the God of compassion.
For the sake of humanity and the free world, the time has come for people of all faiths and none to stand together and declare: Not In God's Name.
