Amari a Noční bratia
Vyrastala ako obyčajné dievča. Ako obstojí v nadprirodzenom svete?
Amari Petersová je dvanásťročné dievča, ktoré žije v chudobnej štvrti s mamou a so starším bratom Quintonom. Bystrý a obľúbený chlapec sa však jedného dňa záhadne vyparí a Amari nechápe, prečo sa jeho zmiznutiu nevenuje väčšia pozornosť. Prečo to neodvysielali vo všetkých správach? A prečo ho polícia automaticky podozrieva, že sa zaplietol do niečoho nezákonného?
Amari neskôr objaví v bratovej skrini tikajúci kufrík s odkazom, že je určený len pre ňu. Quinton pred ňou očividne tajil oveľa viac, než si myslela. Nechal jej pozvánku na letný výcvik v akomsi tajnom Úrade nadprirodzených vecí. Amari netuší, o čo ide, ale je presvedčená, že práve tam sa dozvie viac o bratovom zmiznutí. Musí si však zvyknúť na myšlienku, že čarodejníci či rôzne záhadné tvory naozaj existujú.
Amari počas výcviku súperí s najbohatšími deťmi v krajine, ktoré sa už odmalička pohybujú v nadprirodzenom svete. Navyše úrad každému žiakovi zosilní jeho talent na nadprirodzenú schopnosť, aby mu slúžila pri práci. Amarina schopnosť je však zakázaná. Akoby už aj tak dosť nevytŕčala z davu… Popravde, ešte nikdy sa necítila tak osamelo. Lenže ak sa vzdá a nezvládne tri skúšky, možno nikdy nezistí, čo sa stalo jej bratovi.
Z anglického originálu Amari and the Night Brothers (Balzer + Bray, An imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, New York 2021) preložila Mariana Olšiaková.

Sorshasadás
Érzelmekkel teli szerelmi történet, középpontjában azzal a veszélyes energiával, amely minden valódi kapcsolat mozgatórugója...- DeliaOwens, azAhol a folyami rákok énekelnek szerzője Szerelem. Vágy. Árulás. És egy döntés, amelyen egy nemzet sorsa múlik. RosalindPorter sosem akart megfelelni a társadalmi elvárásoknak. Sem akkor, amikor atomfizikusként és egyetlen nőként elkezdett dolgozni a Manhattan-terven, sem akkor, amikor szenvedélyes viszonyba kezdett az egyik kollégájával, Thomas Weaverrel. Immár öt évvel azután, hogy mind a munkáját, mind a szerelmét elvesztette, még mindig gyötri a bűntudat az atombomba által okozott pusztítás miatt, és a fájdalom sem múlik, amelyet a férfiárulása okozott neki. Már épp rászánná magát egy jóval konvencionálisabb életre, amikor újra felbukkan a színen Weaver - és az FBI. Charlie Szydlo különleges ügynök arra kéri Rosalindot, hogy kémkedjen egykori szerelme után, akiről az FBI azt gyanítja, hogy nukleáris titkokat ad át a szovjeteknek. Rosalind mindenkinél jobban tudja, milyen pusztító erővel bírnak ezek a titkok. De vajon képes elárulni a férfit, akit egykor szeretett, és talán még most is szeret? És mi az a megmagyarázhatatlan vonzalom, amit Charlie iránt érez? Gyönyörűen megírt regény tudományról, szerelemről és egy nőről, aki a férfiak világában vívja ki a helyét. - Ann Patchett
Lacná kniha The Chaperone (Film Tie-in) (-70%)
Soon to be a feature film from the creators of Downton Abbey
On a summer's day in 1922, Cora Carlisle boards a train from Wichita, Kansas, to New York City, charged with the care of a stunningly beautiful young girl with a jet-black bob and wisdom way beyond her fifteen years.
The girl is Louise Brooks and, for her, New York offers a chance of stardom beneath the bright lights of Broadway. For Cora, whose formative years were spent at The New York Home for Friendless Girls, the trip offers the opportunity to discover the truth about her past. It will also, although she doesn't realize it yet, offer her the chance for a very different future.
Set in a time of illicit thrills and daring glamour, a time when prohibition reigns and speakeasies thrive behind closed doors, The Chaperone tells Cora's story as she finally discovers who she is and - more importantly - who she wants to be.

Fast Forward
Iconic drummer Stephen Morris presses play once more to the tune of the long-awaited second volume of memoirs . . .
Poised on the brink of success, the dizzying heights of the unknown lying ahead, Ian Curtis had taken his own life. Grieving yet determined, Stephen Morris emerged from the wreckage of Joy Division to the dawn of something new: a new band, a new tour, a new beginning. Under the name New Order, Morris and his bandmates set their sights on America, only to encounter new disasters. Yet, in true northern spirit, not even this sudden tragedy could dissuade them from following their haphazard path to greatness.
Following the highs and lows of New Order, Fast Forward tracks the changing rhythm of Morris's life and the music that shaped it. From 'music differences' to the ever-growing Joy Division legacy, music is the constant beat through the verses of Fast Forward as Morris's personal and professional life grew increasingly intertwined. This came to a head when his girlfriend was invited to join the band. Tentatively stepping into their testosterone-filled world, Gillian was the right person at the right time for New Order. And for Morris. What began as just a trial period in the band spun into a whirlwind of new projects and experiences, including The Other Two - a project born during one of New Order's (many) hiatuses.
Blending entertaining anecdote with profound reflection, Fast Forward strips back a lifetime of fame and fortune to tell, with raw honesty, how New Order threatened to implode time after time. And yet, despite everything, the legacy of their music continued to hold them together.

Příliš brzy starý, příliš pozdě moudrý
Pronikavě výmluvná a citlivá kniha o věcech, které jsou společné nám všem.
Poté, co v letech 1968 - 1969 sloužil ve Vietnamu jako chirurg, se Gordon Livingston vrátil do USA a začal pracovat jako psychiatr. Naslouchal vyprávění svých pacientů o tom, co v životě funguje a co ne a o tisícerých způsobech, jak, mnohdy vlastní vinou, dokážeme být nešťastní. Sám také utrpěl velké osobní ztráty v rozmezí třinácti měsíců přišel o dva syny. Nejstarší spáchal sebevraždu a nejmladšího zabila leukemie. Ze svých celoživotních zkušeností vytěžil Livingston třicet základních životních pravd, které jsou obsaženy v této knize. Objasňuje je v jemně utkaných a dokonale kalibrovaných esejích.
Znovu a znovu se v nich opakuje pravidlo, že jsme to, co děláme, a i když nelze uniknout před tím, čím jsme, dokážeme čelit ztrátám, štěstí a i žalu a přenést se přes ně.

Power of Habit
In "The Power of Habit", award-winning "New York Times" business reporter Charles Duhigg takes us to the thrilling edge of scientific discoveries that explain why habits exist and how they can be changed. With penetrating intelligence and an ability to distill vast amounts of information into engrossing narratives, Duhigg brings to life a whole new understanding of human nature and its potential for transformation. Along the way we learn why some people and companies struggle to change, despite years of trying, while others seem to remake themselves overnight. We visit laboratories where neuroscientists explore how habits work and where, exactly, they reside in our brains. We discover how the right habits were crucial to the success of Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and civil-rights hero Martin Luther King, Jr. We go inside Procter & Gamble, Target superstores, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, NFL locker rooms, and the nation's largest hospitals and see how implementing so-called keystone habits can earn billions and mean the difference between failure and success, life and death. At its core, "The Power of Habit" contains an exhilarating argument: the key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.

Renoir
Impressions of a sensualist: Painting life s pleasuresOne of the leading lights of the Impressionist movement, Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841 1919) remains a towering figure in art history with enduring public appeal. Sunbathed, charming, and sensual, his work shows painting at its most lighthearted and luminous, while championing the plein air and color innovations of his time.Renoir s oeuvre was prolific, with some several thousand works in his lifetime. Much influenced by forerunners such as Courbet, Degas, Manet, Delacroix, he worked with contemporary peers such as Monet to explore fresh uses of color and brushwork, rendering texture and depth with different-hued daubs. Drawn to intimate and tender human scenes, his subjects include lovers, mothers, and numerous nudes.As his career progressed, Renoir investigated different styles and techniques, shifting away from the feathery Impressionist touch to a more robust, classical corporeality, sometimes called his Ingres period, and later to monumental pieces such as The Bathers . From the abundant output of his lengthy career, this essential artist introduction selects key Renoir works to explore his innovations in the art of painting, as much as his traditions in pursuit of beauty, harmony, and the female form.About the series: Each book in TASCHEN s Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions".

Csukott szemmel nyiss ablakot
Egy közép-vietnámi város szállodai könyvtárában bukkantam a kötetre. Hetek óta nem olvastam semmit, csak egy lélektelen útikönyvet. Már magamat is lélekvesztettnek éreztem, egy különleges országban, mégis reményvesztetten, amikor belekezdtem ebbe a regénybe. Egy ültő helyemben olvastam végig. Olyan volt, mintha élet érkezne az egyszerű, ámde minden mozzanatában pontos szövegből. Egy vietnámi falucskában vagyok, egy kisfiút követek, amint ismerkedik a világgal, ismerkedik önmagával. És visz a főszereplőm épp annyi Vietnámot mutatva meg, amennyit szívesen olvasunk, és épp annyit mutatva meg emberségből, igazságból, életből és halálból, amennyit kell. Saját belső Vietnámunkba visz el, önmagunk belső útjaira, érzékeny figyelemmel. Aki ezt a könyvet elolvassa, kicsit biztos másmilyen lesz, pontosabban fogja tudni, mi fontos és mi nem, pontosabban fogja tudni, kicsoda ő. Jöttem el a szállodából, a portán visszaadtam a kötetet, a recepcióslány boldogan kérdezte, hogy tetszett, mert ez az ő kedvenc könyve, mint annyi más vietnáminak és világszerte sokaknak.
