An economic history of Hungary from 1867
For the last century and a half, Central and Eastern Europe has undergone substantial changes both economically and politically. This book gives a comparative overview of the economic characteristics of Hungary by applying a holistic approach, considering the factors that determined the fate of this Central European country. Tables, graphs, and maps illustrate the decisions that influenced the economic processes from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to 2019. Within the pages of this monograph, the question of how the prevailing governments adjusted to the continuously changing internal and external conditions is answered.
“The monograph, written by Endre Domonkos, can be considered an important summary of Hungary’s 150-year economic history. The book will be useful for historians, economists, university students of economics, or readers interested in the economic history of Central and Eastern Europe. It offers important information and avoids taking a conventional approach to the theme. Moreover, it is an essential resource for research fellows both in Hungary and abroad, to understand the semi-peripheral development of the area.”Prof. István Szilágyi, Doctor of HAS
“Endre Domonkos, in his current work, summarises the economic history of Hungary in 10 chapters and more than 200 pages, richly illustrated with tables, maps, and graphs. The work takes a modern approach, applying the scientifi c note apparatus. The quantity and quality of the literature are also excellent and support the formal and qualitative value of the work. The author has done very serious exploratory research and synthesising work.” Prof. Dr. Ferenc Tibor Szávai, DSc.

The Hobbit
A great modern classic and the prelude to The Lord of the Rings.
Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, almost dead and dark, with scarcely a snore more than a whiff of unseen steam, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance!
Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar!
The text of this edition has been fully corrected and revised in collaboration with Christopher Tolkien and is accompanied by a wealth of beautiful watercolour paintings and delicate pencil drawings from Alan Lee.

Our Missing Hearts
Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving but broken father, a former linguist who now shelves books in Harvard's library. He knows not to ask too many questions, stand out too much, stray too far. For a decade, their lives have been governed by laws written to preserve 'American culture' in the wake of years of economic instability and violence. To keep the peace and restore prosperity, the authorities are now allowed to relocate children of dissidents, especially those of Asian origin, and libraries have been forced to remove books seen as unpatriotic - including the work of Bird's mother, Margaret, a Chinese American poet who left the family when he was nine years old.
Bird has grown up disavowing his mother and her poems; he doesn't know her work or what happened to her, and he knows he shouldn't wonder. But when he receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, he is drawn into a quest to find her. His journey will take him through the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of librarians, into the lives of the children who have been taken, and finally to New York, where a new act of defiance may be the beginning of much-needed change.
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can turn a blind eye to the most searing injustice. It's a story about the power - and limitations - of art to create change in the world, the lessons and legacies we pass onto our children, and how any of us can survive a broken world with our hearts intact.

The Zeppelin's Passenger
Excerpt:"Never heard a sound," the younger of the afternoon callers admitted, getting rid of his empty cup and leaning forward in his low chair. "No more tea, thank you, Miss Fairclough. Done splendidly, thanks. No, I went to bed last night soon after eleven—the Colonel had been route marching us all off our legs—and I never awoke until reveille this morning. Sleep of the just, and all that sort of thing, but a jolly sell, all the same! You hear anything of it, sir?" he asked, turning to his companion, who was seated a few feet away.

The Mill on the Floss
The novel details the lives of Tom and Maggie Tulliver, a brother and sister growing up on the river Floss near the village of St. Oggs, evidently in the 1820s, after the Napoleonic Wars but prior to the first Reform Bill (1832). The novel spans a period of 10-15 years, from Tom and Maggie’s childhood up until their deaths in a flood on the Floss. The book is fictional autobiography in part, reflecting the disgrace that George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) herself had while in a lengthy relationship with a married man, George Henry Lewes.

Gyémántvadászok
Van der Byl, az Öreg, vaskézzel kormányozza gyémánt-konsernjét - és családját. Két fia között indul meg a halálos verseny az utódlásért: az örökbefogadott Johnny Lance és a törvényes fiú: Benedict egyaránt mindenre elszánt harcosok. Féltékenység, kapzsiság, hatalomvágy örvénye ragadja magával mindkettejüket. A tét nem kevesebb, mint a Van der Byl Diamonds üzletbirodalom hatalmas gépezete, befolyása és vagyona. Cape Towntól Londonig, a perzselő afrikai homoktól a déli pólus jégvilágáig sodródnak a regény szereplői, és vetélkedésüket olyan drámai erővel rajzolja meg korunk egyik legnagyobb "mesélője", hogy az olvasó nemcsak feszülten követi az eseményeket, de szinte részt vesz benne
Bűnösök
Az éjszaka fénye c. bestseller szerzőjének új regénye!
Az igazság néha különösen rossz védelem.
Minden azzal kezdődött, hogy a fekete Bobby Nockot számtalan terhelő bizonyíték ellenére ártatlannak találták a tizenöt éves Jessica Silver meggyilkolásának ügyében. Az amerikaiak nyolcvannégy százaléka úgy vélte, hogy az évszázad perében Maya Seale és Rick Leonard, az esküdtszék két vezéralakja futni hagyott egy gyerekgyilkost. Az ítélet sokkolta Amerikát, és nem sokkal a tárgyalás berekesztése után több esküdt is megváltoztatta a véleményét, ráadásul Rick nyíltan kirohant Maya ellen. Még könyvet is írt az ügyről, amiben mindennek elmondta a nőt.
Közben az emberek ugyanazt kérdezték egymástól: mi történt az igazságszolgáltatással?
Most, tíz évvel később egy híres produkciós cég Rick Leonard segítségével dokusorozatot tervez forgatni az ügyből, ráadásul a férfi azt állítja, hogy nemrég olyan bizonyítékok birtokába jutott, amik mindent megváltoztatnak. A forgatásra meghívják az egykori esküdteket is, csakhogy a nagy leleplezés elmarad, ugyanis valaki megöli Ricket az első napon. A helyzetet pedig hamarosan csak még jobban bonyolítja, hogy kiderül, a korábban felmentett Bobby Nock már hónapok óta eltűnt, senki nem tud róla semmit.
Ki ölte meg Ricket? S mi történt valójában tíz évvel ezelőtt?
Graham Moore, az Oscar-díjas forgatókönyvíró és Az éjszaka fénye című bestseller szerzője az amerikai igazságszolgáltatás rendszerét veszi górcső alá új regényében. A Bűnösök csavart csavarra halmozva az utolsó oldalig fenntartja a feszültséget, és folyton meglepi az olvasót, miközben olyan elemi módon ábrázolja korunk Amerikáját, gondolkodását és előítéleteit, ahogy arra senki más nem képes.
