Named Children's Book of the Week by The Times!
Inspired by a true family story, Michael Rosen presents an astonishing account of perseverance, love and hope in wartime.
Beginning in 1939, young Solly in London exchanges letters with his teenaged cousin, Bernie, in Poland. While Solly is evacuated and tries his best to adjust to life in the English countryside, Bernie's parents know that as Jews they're not safe staying in Warsaw, so they send Bernie to the Russian-occupied side of the country in the hope that he'll be safer there.
Soon, though, he is arrested and sent off to a forced labour camp in Russia. As the cousins exchange sporadic letters, they try to keep their spirits up, trading jokes and observations about the world changing all around them. Then Bernie seizes the opportunity to join the "Anders Army" and fight the Axis powers, and tells Solly all about his experiences in Iraq and eventually Italy, where he fights alongside the British at the famous Battle of Monte Cassino.
Does Bernie survive and find a safe place to call home?
Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures in the children's book world, known for his work as poet and author of classic books such as WE'RE GOING ON A BEAR HUNT. This book is a perfect companion to POPPY FIELD by Michael Morpurgo and Michael Foreman. Together, the books are a wonderful introduction to the history of the great wars of the 20th century and the importance of Remembrance.

The Ice Dragon
An enchanting tale of courage and sacrifice by George R.R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired HBO's Emmy Award-winning GAME OF THRONES.
From ancient times the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.
The ice dragon had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back.
Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara's home. And only a winter child - and the ice dragon who loved her - could save her world from utter destruction.

Nuggets From The Father
What do you wish to ask God? What if He answered? In a couple of days or weeks later, you would want Him to ask Him for another thing that will crop up in your life. Then again and again because there are many things we have to deal with in this world. You can get human assistance with some issues, and there are others that you need more than what a human can offer. There are some situations that experts will say, “Let’s wait and see”, or “fingers crossed” or there is nothing that can be done or that you have to deal with it.
This is where God comes in; this is the essence of the Christian faith. It is about a relationship with your Maker. The colossal question then is, “How can I hear from God?” It is not as complicated as people present it. You have to listen to Him purposely. It is the same way we did for this daily devotional. The daily word from God is the voice of God to His children. It will challenge, motivate and encourage while digging deeper into the Bible. A nugget a day will improve your spiritual immune system to fend off attacks from the enemy. It is the first of four (4) volumes. Be refreshed and strengthened every day as you take in the Nuggets From the Father Daily Devotional.

Railways
The advent of railways in Britain was a fundamental part of its economic and social revolution in the 19th century, with technical advances that were the envy of the world and chronicled from the beginning through meticulous drawings. Detailed plans were created of locomotives, carriages and wagons, as well as of stations, bridges and tunnels, to facilitate the manufacturing process and the maintenance of the rapidly expanding railway network.
Miraculously, about a million of these magnificent drawings have survived and are held in the National Railway Museum in York. Christopher Valkoinen has selected over 130 examples that tell the engineering history of great innovations and triumphs, such as the Forth Bridge, and reveal the work of famous pioneers, including Richard Trevithick, George Stephenson, and Nigel Gresley of Flying Scotsman fame. Other plans range from Queen Victoria's royal saloon and a travelling post office to a station tea-room at York and modern experiments with a hovertrain. There are also drawings for railways around the world: the USA, Russia, Japan, India, Australia and Egypt, among others, as well as contemporary photographs and posters.
Throughout, Valkoinen provides valuable insights into the social and political impact of the railways. He also reveals how these drawings are more than a reference tool for the historian or modelmaker; they are exquisite works of art, painstakingly produced by highly skilled artists, which can be appreciated in their own right.

The Wager
From the international bestselling author of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and THE LOST CITY OF Z, a mesmerising story of shipwreck, mutiny and murder, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth.
On 28th January 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty's ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, the Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The crew, marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing 2,500 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes.
Then, six months later, another, even more decrepit, craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways and they had a very different story to tell. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes - they were mutineers. The first group responded with counter-charges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous captain and his henchmen. While stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death-for whomever the court found guilty could hang.
The Creative Act
Many famed music producers are known for a particular sound that has its day and then ages out. Rick Rubin is known for something else: creating a space where artists of all different genres and traditions can home in on who they really are and what they really offer. He has made a practice of helping people transcend their self-imposed expectations in order to reconnect with a state of innocence from which the surprising becomes inevitable.
Over the years, as he has thought deeply about where creativity comes from and where it doesn't, he has learned that being an artist isn't about your specific output; it's about your relationship to the world. Creativity has a place in everyone's life, and everyone can make that place larger. In fact, there are few more important responsibilities.
The Creative Act is a beautiful and generous course of study that illuminates the path of the artist as a road we all can follow. It distils the wisdom gleaned from a lifetime's work into a luminous reading experience that puts the power to create moments - and lifetimes - of exhilaration and transcendence within closer reach for all of us.
The Necessity of Atheism
"The Necessity of Atheism" is a treatise on atheism by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, printed in 1811 by C. and W. Phillips in Worthing while Shelley was a student at University College, Oxford. A copy of the first version was sent as a short tract signed enigmatically to all heads of Oxford colleges at the University. At that time the content was so shocking to the authorities that he was "rusticated" (expelled from the University) for refusing to deny authorship, together with his friend and fellow student, Thomas Jefferson Hogg. A revised and expanded version was printed in 1813.Shelley's early profession of atheism in this tract not only led to his expulsion from Oxford but also branded him as a radical agitator and thinker, setting an early pattern of marginalisation and ostracism from the intellectual and political circles of his time. Though Shelley's poetry and prose output remained steady throughout his life, most publishers and journals declined to publish his work for fear of being arrested themselves for blasphemy or sedition. Shelley did not live to see success and influence in his time, although these reach down to the present day not only in literature, but in major movements in social and political thought.(Reference: Wikipedia.)

Kalle nyomozni kezd
Mihez kezdene Sherlock Holmes egy békés kisvárosban, ahol nincsenek bűntények, és ezért nincs is mit kinyomozni? Holmes elmenekülne egy ilyen helyről - Kalle Blomkvist, az ifjú mesterdetektív persze nem megy sehova, hiszen még csak tizenhárom éves, és itt él a családja meg a két legjobb barátja: Anders és a vagány Eva-Lotta, akibe titokban fülig szerelmes. Kalle minden felbukkanó idegenben bűnözőt lát - és ezúttal talán nem téved: Einar bácsi valóban gyanús alak, pisztolyt hord magánál, és bárhová besurran a tolvajkulcsával. Kalle az évszázad bűnesetét szimatolja, barátai viszont inkább belevetnék magukat a Rózsák háborújába, a szokásos nyári csatározásba a rivális gyerekcsapattal. Bandaháború vagy bűnüldözés? Egy biztos: a nyomozás csakis akkor lehet sikeres, ha Anders és Eva-Lotta is Kalle segítségére siet.
"A legjobb mindig szembenézni a veszéllyel. Kalle megfordult, és egy revolvercsővel nézett farkasszemet. Ó, képzeletében annyiszor, de annyiszor átélte ezt, és olyankor egy pillanatig sem tétovázott. Olyankor egy villámgyors mozdulattal rávetette magát a gazemberre, és egy -Csak ne olyan hevesen, jó uram!- kiáltással kiütötte a kezéből a revolvert. A valóság azonban nem egészen így festett. Kalle már átélt néhány ijesztő pillanatot életében. Megijedt, amikor a bankpénztáros kutyája egyszer nekirontott a piactéren, vagy amikor a múlt télen korcsolyázott, és beszakadt alatta a jég. De még soha nem érzett olyan bénító, fojtogató félelmet, mint most.
-Jaj, anya! - gondolta."
Csaknem hetven év telt el azóta, hogy Astrid Lindgren az izgalmas Kalle-trilógiával megteremtette a skandináv krimi ifjúsági változatát - most ennek a sorozatnak az első kötetét tartja kezében az olvasó.

Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.

Lacná kniha Liebe: Dunkler Erdteil (-90%)
Zu den beiden Lyrikbänden »Die gestundete Zeit« und »Anrufung des Großen Bären«, die noch zu Lebzeiten Ingeborg Bachmanns erschienen, gehört als dritter Band »Liebe: Dunkler Erdteil«, der auch Gedichte aus dem Nachlass enthält. Er gibt durch die chronologische Folge der Gedichte einen Einblick in die Entwicklung der großen Lyrikerin: Schon in den Jugendjahren kristallisiert sich eine eigene Intensität heraus, die sich dann durch ihr ganzes Schaffen hindurch fortsetzt und verdichtet. Dabei berührt Ingeborg Bachmann nicht nur die menschlichen Existenzialien wie Liebe und Tod, sondern es gelingt ihr, sie durch eine Sprache der Empfindsamkeit neu zu definieren.
