A művészet földjén
"Egy holdas nyári éjtszakán magányosan virrasztottam a hajó fedélzetén. Alattam ezüstösen ringott Homeros tengere. Hullámai fáradhatatlanul szeretkeztek egymással, s játékukban talán az Oceános antik istenei ölelkeztek, a víz méla locsogásába talán az ő zokogó daluk vegyült... (...) A telihold levilágított reám, s én elaludtam. És oly szépet álmodtam azon az éjtszakán Itáliáról. Mire pedig megvirradt, valósággá lett mindaz, amit álmodtam: a távol hullámok játékában, mint a mesék csillogó gyöngyfüzére, úszott a fehér olasz part. A gyöngysorból immár halmok, völgyek lettek: az a föld, melyen hajdan a világ trónja állt. Római császárok ültek e trónuson, s az ő kezükben lett a hatalom oly végtelenné, hogy már-már isteneknek képzelték magukat ezek a halandó emberek... (...) Még a trónok talapzata is sír, s ma már csak az tátong a régi dicsőség helyén. Egy virággal ékes sír, melyben a világ legnagyobb gondolatai porladoznak az elmúlt óriásokkal.
Őket fogjuk utunkban felkeresni: a halottakhoz megyünk. És szűnjenek meg számunkra létezni az élők addig, amíg az ő birodalmukban, a múltak emlékei között bolyongunk." (Tormay Cécile, 1900.)

My Slovakia
Traveler and photographer Filip Kulisev, Master QEP, FBIPP, has over the past decade become one of the world’s foremost photographers of natural scenery. In his twelfth book, My Slovakia, he returns to his native country and showcases its many places of remarkable natural beauty.
Slovakia highlights its beauty and natural, cultural and historical treasures in many ways. The country benefits from its advantageous location in the heart of the Old Continent, which over the centuries has been a crossroads for many nationalities. Perhaps that is the reason I find its more out-of-the-way places as impressive as better-known attractions elsewhere in the world.
The colorful sea of purple clover near Lipová hardly looks less beautiful than the lavender fields of Provence. Roháče and Kriváň are as uniquely reflected on the surface of calm Liptovská Mara as Denali appears on the waters of an Alaskan lake. Likewise, this land surprises me with its many castles and palatial manors blending in with the surrounding landscape, like Spiš Castle, the largest medieval castle complex in Central Europe. As I wander across the country with growing frequency, I have also discovered its beauty from above. My drone has given me views and angles I could never achieve while standing on solid ground. I am pleased to have the opportunity to share Slovakia with you. It’s well worth it!
Újra meg újra
Emilie Hornby, a tizenhét éves gimnazista mottója: „A sors a balekoknak való. A szerelmet meg kell tervezni.” A tinilány ennek jegyében, szerelemtől ittasan, kicsinosítva indul iskolába az év legromantikusabb napján, február 14-én. Bár mindent előre lejátszott a fejében, és gondosan rögzített is a heti tervezőjében, Emilie élete legrosszabb Valentin-napját éli át. Egyik baj és csalódás jön a másik után, semmi sem úgy alakul, ahogyan megálmodta. Miután túljut az első sokkon, a nagymamájához menekül egy kis vigasztalásért, és ott hajtja álomra a fejét. Másnap reggel hatkor megszólal a telefonja ébresztője, és – ó, te jó ég! – újra Valentin-nap van. Az utána következő nap pedig…? Ismét egy rémes Valentin-nap!
Emilie egy olyan rémálomszerű időhurokban ragad, amelyből nem tud kiszabadulni, így aztán újra meg újra átéli az „első” Valentin-nap rémségeit.
Vajon meddig kell még szenvednie ebben a Valentin-napi purgatóriumban?
Lynn Painter, a Mr. Téves szám, a Véletlenül Amy és a Jobb mint a filmeken sikerszerzője, ismét egy hihetetlenül vicces, magával ragadó romkommal ajándékozza meg a rajongóit.
The Vanishing Half
'An utterly mesmerising novel..I absolutely loved this book' Bernardine Evaristo, winner of the Booker Prize 2019
'Epic' Kiley Reid, O, The Oprah Magazine
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, southern black community and running away at age sixteen, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: their families, their communities, their racial identities. Ten years later, one sister lives with her black daughter in the same southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for white, and her white husband knows nothing of her past. Still, even separated by so many miles and just as many lies, the fates of the twins remain intertwined. What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' story lines intersect?
Weaving together multiple strands and generations of this family, from the Deep South to California, from the 1950s to the 1990s, Brit Bennett produces a story that is at once a riveting, emotional family story and a brilliant exploration of the American history of passing. Looking well beyond issues of race, The Vanishing Half considers the lasting influence of the past as it shapes a person's decisions, desires, and expectations, and explores some of the multiple reasons and realms in which people sometimes feel pulled to live as something other than their origins.

With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it -- in her own words and on her own terms.
Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations -- and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Bostoni bikák 3: A szörnyeteg
Talán mindig is az volt a sorsom, hogy beleszeressek egy szörnyetegbe. Míg a többi kisgyerek nem mert elaludni a szekrényében lakó, éles fogú rémtől, én alig vártam, hogy láthassam az enyémet. Szerettem volna megetetni, megszelídíteni, megérteni.
Most pedig itt az igazi fenevad.

Be Useful : Seven tools for life
The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy.
That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back.
All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life.
Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there.
Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

Defiant
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.
Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.
The Superiority didn't stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though.
Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a matter of time until humanity - and the rest of the galaxy - falls.
Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined.
Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself - and her friends - in the process.
The final book in the Skyward series will free humanity, or see it fall forever.
Mama Mammals
A beautiful, fact-filled picture book by vet and writer Cathy Evans which is the perfect introduction to reproduction in the natural world for children.
This stunningly presented science book explains the facts of life by looking at sex and reproduction in mammal species. Through short, concise texts and warm, engaging illustrations, we learn about fertilisation, gestation, birth, breastfeeding and early parenting across the mammalian order. Did you know that, unlike other mammals, whale calves are born tail first, so that the mother can push them to the surface to breathe as soon as they emerge? Or that echidnas do not have nipples? Their young lick milk that seeps from pores in their chests.
Easy to engage with for kids as young as four, this is a convenient, informative and enjoyable way of learning about babies and where they come from.
The Human Zoo
Jax Cooper lives a comfortable life, maybe too comfortable. Born into a powerful family. Jax is the son of the largest mogul in the world. As a journalist for The Globe, he takes on a unique, self-assigned piece: to investigate his father's empire, The Human Zoo. Disguised as one of the animals and stripped of his identity, wealth, and eugenic luxuries, Jax is challenged by what it means to be human when he meets Priya.
Born into the zoo's captivity, Priya has only known two things; she does not belong here, and she will do anything to escape, but freedom always seemed impossible until an unusual new animal, Jax, arrives.
A gripping investigation turned life-changing, Jax is forced to make a decision. Will he risk dismantling society by exposing who-or what-being an animal means...or succumb to his only living protection, his family's empire?

Vtedy v Hollywoode
Ako je už z názvu zrejmé, ide o románovú verziu jeho posledného filmu Once a time in Hollywood. Tarantino nás zavedie späť do Hollywoodu roku 1969, kde zasadil rôzne príbehy svojich postáv. Je tu napríklad herec Rick Dalton, ktorý zúfalo bojuje o svoju kariéru. Po jeho boku kaskadér Cliff Booth, ktorý nemá najlepšiu povesť a rovnako trpí úpadkom „šéfovej“ kariéry. Autor ich príbeh spája so skutočne existujúcimi či historickými postavami, akými sú režisér Roman Polanski, herečka Sharon Tate či Charles Manson, vodca sekty a rocková hviezda.
Bride
A dangerous alliance between a Vampyre bride and an Alpha werewolf becomes a love deep enough to sink your teeth into in this new paranormal romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Misery Lark, the only daughter of the most powerful Vampyre councilman of the Southwest, is an outcast - again. Her days of living in anonymity among the Humans are over: she has been called upon to uphold an historic peacekeeping alliance between the Vampyres and their mortal enemies, the Weres, and sees little choice but to surrender herself in the exchange - again...
Weres are ruthless and unpredictable, and their Alpha, Lowe Moreland, is no exception. He rules his pack with absolute authority, but not without justice. And, unlike the Vampyre Council, not without feeling. It's clear from the way he tracks Misery's every movement that he doesn't trust her. If only he knew how right he was...
Because Misery has her own reasons to agree to this marriage of convenience, reasons that have nothing to do with politics or alliances, and everything to do with the only thing she's ever cared about. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to get back what's hers, even if it means a life alone in Were territory... alone with the wolf.

Azt mondják, a bosszú hidegen tálalva a legjobb.
Penn
Négy évem volt arra, hogy feldolgozzam, mit tett velem Daria Followhill, és a szívem mára jéggé vált.
Az enyém lett az első csókja.
Az övé pedig az, amit a legjobban szeretek.
Én szegény voltam.
Ő gazdag.
Hogy mi a jó a körülményekben? Hogy változnak. Gyorsan.
Most én vagyok a szülei legújabb kis projektje. A lakótársa. A kínzója. És a kapitánya annak a rivális focicsapatnak, amit annyira gyűlöl.
Én lettem a mostohatestvére!
Annak, aki tönkreteszi a legjobb dolgot az életemben, fizetnie kell, ő pedig a könnyeivel fog. Daria Followhill azt hiszi, ő A királynő. Én viszont be fogom bizonyítani neki, hogy nem több egy elkényeztetett kis hercegnőnél.
Daria
A klasszikus, lázadó punkok senkit sem izgatnak. De ha egy szemét ribi vagy? Ó, akkor beszólnak minden csípős megjegyzésért, gúnyos szemforgatásért és azért, ha az ellenségeid útjába állsz. Tudom, mert az vagyok.
Magas sarkúval baromi nagyot lehet döfni, amikor átsétálsz benne valakin, akit bántani akarsz.
Penn Scullynak teljesen kivéreztettem a szívét, majd otthagytam egy szemeteskukában egy verőfényes nyári napon.
Négy évvel ezelőtt azt kérte tőlem, hogy őrizzem meg neki az összes első alkalmamat.
Most a folyosó túloldalán lakik, és egyedül arra vágyom, hogy én legyek neki mindenben az utolsó.
Amikor nekem adta a szívét, az utolsó szavai azok voltak: „semmi nincs ingyen".
És most? Most ő fizet nekem.
