Under the Magnolias - Magnóliák alatt
Az éjszaka, ami nemcsak a szárazság végét jelentette, hanem a régóta őrzött titokét is, melyet a magnóliák alatt rejtegettünk.
Magnólia, Dél-Karolina, 1980.
Austin Foster alig tinédzser, amikor édesanyja ikreknek adva életet, belehal a szülésbe. Ezzel neki kell összeszednie a darabkákat, miközben hat testvérét összetartja, és mindent megtesz, hogy apja ne süppedjen a saját sötétségébe.
A család dohányfarmján összekaparni a betevőt nem éppen zökkenőmentes.
Amikor néhány kedves cselekedet segít enyhíteni Fosterék küzdelmét, Austin azon kapja magát, hogy Magnólia legszínesebb polgáraira támaszkodik, mind barátságban, mind másban. De az igazságot eltitkolni a Nólia birtokon zajló eseményekről közel lehetetlen, és Austin kétségbeesett próbálkozása, hogy fenntartsa a látszatot, csaknem megtöri a lelkét.
Épp, amikor úgy tűnik, többet tartogat számára az élet egy gazdag helyi család fiával, akibe évekkel ezelőtt belezúgott, apja olyan döntést hoz, amely kitárja titkaik ajtaját, és nyilvános számvetéshez vezet. Következményekkel jár, ha olyan fiút szeretsz, mint Vance Cumberland, ám az igazság felszabadító is lehet.
T. I. Lowe merész, mégis gyengéd és felemelő regénye emlékeztet, hogy egy történet lehet nagyszerű, még ha össze is töri a szíved... majd a lehető legjobb módon befoltozza.
Az év legmegindítóbb felnőtté válási története.
Hagyd, hogy felemeljen!

The Terranauts
BY THE WINNER OF THE JONATHAN SWIFT PRIZE 2017 Eight people take part in an ecological experiment in 1990s Arizona. Inspired by real events, The Terranauts places human behaviour under the microscope to spellbinding effect Linda is desperate to be one of the lucky eight chosen to take part in the world's most ambitious ecological experiment.

Competition is fierce between the hopefuls, among them smooth-talking PR man Ramsay, and Dawn, a naive beauty.

As they struggle to control nature, and hunger sets in, the snake in this Eden starts to look unmistakably human...

Deep in the Queen
Deep in the Queen
An erotic historical picaresque novel by Gábor Szappanos
(A synopsis)
The “manuscript” of the novel has been found in a big library of the capital after an eighty year of encryption. (To encrypt it was the instruction of a “fabled author,” who can be only Gyula Krúdy although his name is never mentioned. On the other hand, the book is such a literary fiction that never could have been written by Krúdy). Briefly, the story is the following: the writer, who calls himself Gyula Kandúr (Julius Tomcat), is just having his lunch at Majmunka’s house, when all of a sudden another Sindbad shows up, who is a sort of Frankenstein and existed only in Kandúr’s imagination so far. The two doubles initiate a fight. A big hassle is started, but none of them is able to overcome the other, so they decide to come to an agreement: let a “who has a longer wind” test tell who the real Sindbad of the two is. The winner will be him. And the test is the following: Kandúr is chained to the radiator, and from there he must watch Frankenstein-Sindbad making love to Majmunka’s concupiscent female dancers. Thanks to his imagination Kandúr wins.
Then the two counterparts, with the help of a flying carpet, take a flight to the city of Petra some 2,000 years earlier. They found themselves in the middle of an orgastic evening party. They were captured by two guards of the king who needed still another two companions at his table. The dinner is not “free”: after it they both will have to “work hard:” one of them will have to speed (make happy)till dawn the wife of the impotent king, the other - the goddess of the city who has the shape of a black cubical stone placed in front of the gates to the nether world in the sanctuary. Kandúr will have to rejoice with the queen, Sindbad with the cubic stone goddess.
The description of the love-making with the queen: it lasts for an atrociously (sanguinarily) long time, for about five hours, and is filled with a continuous internal fight demanding Kandúr to have a very long wind. Viz. if he is unable to “perform well”, he will be thrown down into the deepest pit of the cemetery, where he is going to meet his death. (The cubic stone goddess closes the aperture of the cemetery pit, and the nether world starts under the pit). During their love-making the queen opens her heart and soul to Kandúr, retells the strange and curious secrets of the city, and as a matter of fact that is the essence of the novel. It turns out from the queen’s words that the city has been in the magic power of a Persian magician (he is the King)for twenty years, and made the good inhabitants of the Nabateus Petra sexmaniacs. The ugly cubic stone goddess is also the magician’s work, for earlier it was the Goddess of Beauty, and her beautiful statue stood in the main square of the city. Then the queen, who starts liking (perhaps loving) Kandúr more and more as a woman, puts him wise to some secrets. She tells him that it is immaterial whether he “performs” well or not, because he will get into the pit at all events. But if he follows her instructions, he can escape from there together with his companion via the nether world. But as a favor in return she asks him to utter the proper magical words at the proper places of the nether world to stop the magic power of the king and magician in the city.
And so it happens. Despite the fact that Kandúr had enough wind, he was thrown into the deep pit where he meets Sindbad, and they start their way down into the nether world, because according to the most detailed instructions of the queen that was the only way to delivery and freedom. (This nether world was also created by the magician, and actually it is an exact copy of the city above, where the dead of the upper city “live” their “life of dead” as souls…). Here our heroes will again come across most exciting and interesting adventures and phenomena, but finally they manage to escape, and again with the help of the flying carpet, and the mag

The Extended Selfish Gene
The Selfish Gene is a classic exposition of evolutionary thought. In it Professor Dawkins articulates a gene's eye view of evolution - a view giving centre stage to these persistent units of information, and in which organisms can be seen as vehicles for the replication of genes. The book provoked widespread and heated debate, which in part led Dawkins to write The Extended Phenotype, in which he gave a deeper clarification of the central concept of
the gene as the unit of selection, as well as contributing his own development of this insight.
For the first time, The Extended Selfish Gene brings these two books together, by including two key chapters from The Extended Phenotype. These chapters provide Dawkins's detailed and powerful response to two issues raised by critics of The Selfish Gene: the accusations of genetic determinism (the idea that our behaviour is entirely determined by our genes), and of "adaptationism " (that all traits are indiscriminately perceived to be adaptations resulting from
natural selection). While written in particular for the biology community, Dawkins's clarity of expression allows these chapters to be accessible to all who are seriously engaged with the gene's eye view and its implications.
The imaginative, powerful, and stylistically brilliant Selfish Gene not only brought the insights of Neo-Darwinism to a wide audience, but galvanized the biology community, generating much debate and stimulating whole new areas of research. Forty years later, its insights remain as significant as on the day it was published. Along with the two extra chapters, The Extended Selfish Gene includes a new epilogue to The Selfish Gene from the author which highlights the
relevance of the gene's eye view to evolutionary biology today.
