Some people live to walk. Raynor and Moth walk to live . . .
Raynor Winn knows that her husband Moth's health is declining, getting worse by the day. She knows of only one cure. It worked once before. But will he - can he? - set out with her on another healing walk?

World of Warcraft: Dawn of the Aspects
THE AGE OF DRAGONS IS OVER.
Uncertainty plagues Azeroth's ancient guardians as they struggle to find a new purpose. This dilemma has hit Kalecgos, youngest of the former Dragon Aspects, especially hard. Having lost his great powers, how can he-or any of his kind-still make a difference in the world? The answer lies in the distant past, when savage beasts called proto-dragons ruled the skies. Through a mysterious artifact found near the heart of Northrend, Kalecgos witnesses this violent era and the shocking history of the original Aspects: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Malygos, Neltharion, and Nozdormu. In their most primitive forms, the future protectors of Azeroth must stand united against Galakrond, a bloodthirsty creature that threatens the existence of their race. But did these mere proto-dragons face such a horrific adversary alone, or did an outside force help them? Were they given the strength they would become legendary for . . . or did they earn it with blood? Kalecgos's discoveries will change everything he knows about the events that led to the . . .

Ábel a rengetegben
"Abban a nevezetes ezerkilencszáz és huszadik évben, vagyis egy esztendőre rá, hogy a románok kézhez vettek minket, székelyeket, az én életemben még külön is igen nagy fordulat állott bé. Akkor is Ábelnek hívtak engem; s ott laktunk Csíkcsicsóban, abban a nagy káposztatermelő faluban, a felcsíki járásban, éppen az Olt vize mellett. Apám, akit Gergelynek neveztek, még élt abban az időben, s közbirtokossági erdőpásztor volt. Ott is lakott fenn az erdőn, egyedül egy kalibában; s csak akkor jövögetett haza a házhoz, amikor az elesége elfogyott. Ilyenkor édesanyám ismét feltarisnyálta, s azzal visszament az erdei szállásra, hogy legalább egy hétig megint ne lássuk. Gyermek a háznál rajtam kívül nem volt, s én ezt nem is bántam, mert engemet is csak bajosan tudtak iskolába járatni s ruházni, olyan nagy szegénységben éltünk."
Így kezdődik Tamási Áron talán legismertebb műve, az 1932-ben Kolozsváron megjelent Ábel a rengetegben. Hőse a tizenöt esztendős talpraesett, okos kamaszfiú, akit apja elszerzett erdőpásztornak a Hargitára, a csíkszeredai bank erdejébe. Ábelt valójában a szegénység űzi, nem a kalandvágy, "hegybéli" történetét is inkább az elemi létküzdelem irányítja, semmint a puszta kíváncsiság és a szabadságvágy. Sorsát fegyelemmel, bátorsággal viseli, sikeresen megküzd a rablókkal is. Végül megfogadja, hogy a szegények védelmezője lesz.
A Helikon Zsebkönyvek az egyetemes művelődéstörténet legfontosabb és legnépszerűbb műveit teszi elérhetővé kedvező áron. A szépirodalmi címek mellett olyan könyvek jelennek meg a sorozatban, amelyek a történelem, a filozófia, a bölcselet, a pszichológia klasszikusainak számítanak.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Decisive Moment
"Within the canon of European photography books it would be difficult to find one more famous, revered and influential as Henri Cartier-Bresson's "The Decisive Moment,"" wrote Jeffrey Ladd in "Time LightBox," in a feature on Steidl's new edition of this ultimate photobook classic. Originally published in 1952, this collection of Cartier-Bresson's best work from his early years was embellished with a collage cover by Henri Matisse. The book has since influenced generations of photographers, while its English title defined the notion of the famous peak in which all elements in the photographic frame accumulate to form the perfect image-not the moment of the height of the action, necessarily, but the formal, visual peak. This new publication-the first and only reprint since the original 1952 edition-is a meticulous facsimile of the original book that launched the artist to international fame, with an additional booklet on the history of "The Decisive Moment" by Centre Pompidou curator Clement Cheroux. Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004) was born in Chantelou-en-Brie, France. He initially studied painting and began photographing in the 1930s. Cartier-Bresson cofounded Magnum in 1947. In the late 1960s he returned to his original passion, drawing. In 2003 Cartier-Bresson established the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, one year before his death.

A nyúl akta
Howard Matheu vagyok, nyolc és fél éves, és nem nyomozok soha többé. Nita és Gil, a két barátom úgy gondolta, detektívnek lenni jó dolog. Segítünk a kisebbeknek, leleplezzük a rossz embereket, és közben jól szórakozunk. A Nyúl akta teljesen ártatlan ügynek indult, mégis olyan fordulatot vett, amire senki sem számíthatott. Ez a baj nem talált volna ránk, mi kerestük magunknak. A többiek még a végére akarnak járni, de én már nem. Leírtam ide azt, amit tudnod kell, neked és mindazoknak, akik kíváncsiak rá, mi is történt valójában. Mielőtt belekezdesz, fontos, hogy tudd: ez nem mese! Ez egy detektívtörténet gyerekeknek!

John Lenon: The Life
The final word on music's greatest legend, in which Philip Norman reveals a John Lennon the world has never seen. With ground-breaking insight into the pain, beauty and frustration that shaped the genius of modern music, John Lennon: The Definitive Biography redefines a legend. John Lennon -- the iconic songwriter, composer and one quarter of The Beatles -- was a giant of the twentieth century. As the founding member of the world's most successful group ever, he changed lives. The popularity and significance of The Beatles is beyond comparison in our age -- in the UK alone, they released more than 40 number one singles and albums. But their impact extended well beyond their music. Their clothes, hairstyles, statements, and even their choice of instruments made them trend-setters from the 1960s to this day, while their growing social awareness -- reflected in the development of their music -- saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. Following the painful collapse of The Beatles, John came out a wiser but angrier person. Together with his wife Yoko Ono, he attempted to transform the world through non-musical means. Their bed-in in Amsterdam and Montreal, their black bag appearances on stage, their innocent flirting with political activists and radicals, all received massive media attention. These events were in search of world peace. John Lennon was shot dead by a mentally disturbed fan outside his New York apartment building on December 8, 1980. Featuring previously unseen photographs, this truly is the definitive John Lennon.

Patient
'This is my central philosophy: one starts off with something as an academic study but from it stems a series of important things to say which must be got over to a greater audience in a variety of forms. So to some extent one foxes everyone by simultaneously being scholar and academic, populariser and communicator, and sticking to the belief that these are not incompatible.' - Roy Strong, 1971. For almost forty years, Roy Strong has been in the public spotlight - as the director of the National Portrait Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum, as a broadcaster, consultant and lecturer, and as the author of many books on art, history, garden design and food. Published to celebrate Roy Strong's 70th birthday in August 2005, this collection of pieces showcases the wide range of his interests and passions: from a meditation on the nature of beauty and reflections on the English national character to the passionate defence of the importance of history and an assessment of the consequences of devolution. Along the way, we learn about Sir Roy's first years at the National Portrait Gallery as a young assistant keeper, hear his personal recollections of the Queen Mother, and read his poignant and moving thoughts on the nature of grief and happiness. This collection will be cherished by the many people who have followed Sir Roy's long career with admiration and devotion, for others, it will provide the perfect introduction to the life and work of this national treasure.
