By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept
Elizabeth Smart's passionate fictional account of her intense love-affair with the poet George Barker, described by Angela Carter as 'Like Madame Bovary blasted by lightening ... A masterpiece'. One day, while browsing in a London bookshop, Elizabeth Smart chanced upon a slim volume of poetry by George Barker - and fell passionately in love with him through the printed word.
Eventually they communicated directly and, as a result of Barker's impecunious circumstances, Elizabeth Smart flew both him and his wife from Japan, where he was teaching, to join her in the United States. Thus began one of the most extraordinary, intense and ultimately tragic love affairs of our time. They never married but Elizabeth bore George Barker four children and their relationship provided the impassioned inspiration for one of the most moving and immediate chronicles of a love affair ever written - By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept.
Originally published in 1945, this remarkable book is now widely identified as a classic work of poetic prose which, more than six decades later, has retained all of its searing poignancy, beauty and power of impact.
Cultural Warfare
Everything begins in culture, happens through it and returns to it. Those who recognise the hegemony of culture and are able to develop their own hegemony in the culture, will eventually win everything. The attainment of a cultural majority will sooner or later lead to the emergence of a political majority. This book is a guide to why, with what tools and how to conquer the cultural sphere that underpins politics. In other words, this work is about the theory and practice of the struggle for cultural power and how to create cultural hegemony.

Lacná kniha Světla severu
Žije v Oxfordu ale tajenka jejího příběhu se skrývá na Severu. V modré ledové krajině, kde se může stát cokoli. Tam odkud vychází záře. Tam, kde se ztrácejí děti.
Dívenka Lyra, krásná, samostatná a divoká ve svých jedenácti letech má před sebou mrazivou cestu. Víc než na magii musí se spolehnout na svou odvahu a fantazii.
A na svého daemona.
Trilogie, jejíž první díl držíte v rukou, nadchla chladné Angličany. Poslední díl získal dokonce jako první dětská knížka v dějinách prestižní literární cenu. To se nepovedlo ani Joan Rowlingové s Harry Potterem. Zfilmovat Lyřin příběh se chystá New Line Cinema, společnost, která oslnila tím, jak zvládla Tolkienova Pána prstenů.
S fantasy je to jako s hudbou. Často se vám zdá, že tu melodii jste už slyšeli. Když ne celou, tak aspoň kus. Vítězí jen ten, kdo najde nový krásný zvuk. V literatuře pak ten, kdo stvoří nový svět a nové postavy.
Pullmanův svět je magický i skutečný. V něčem je jakoby kopií toho našeho, v něčem je mu nekonečně vzdálen.
Ten svět je opravdu chvílemi mnohem skutečnější, než byste si mysleli.

Skót tündérmesék
A jelen kötetünk első szerzőjének műveit tartalmazó kiadás ugyanezzel a címmel 2017-ben jelent meg és nem várt sikert aratott olvasóink körében. A siker kiváltója egyrészt az lehetett, hogy Donald MacKenzie skót tündérmeséi első ízben jelentek meg magyar nyelven. A kedvező fogadtatáshoz a tartalom mellett sokat tett hozzá az akkori brit nagykövet, őexcellenciája Iain Lindsay autentikus, szívből jövő előszava. A kétségtelen siker és az olvasói visszajelzések alapján úgy döntöttünk, hogy az eredeti 16 fejezetből álló művet kibővítjük és jelen kötetünkben ugyancsak először magyar nyelven az olvasók elé kerülő Charles Tibbitts tündérmeséivel bővítjük ki. Az immár 47 történet káprázatos változatosságban tárja elénk Skócia, a skót felföld és a szigetvilág természeti szépségeit. Ezt a vad, szépségében és erejében lenyűgöző világot vízben, földön, föld alatt és a levegőégben élő mágikus lények, tündérek, koboldok, hableányok, lidércek, manók, beszélő állatok és megannyi mesebeli lény népesíti be. És ezek a lények lépten-nyomon az emberekbe ütköznek, az emberek pedig lépten-nyomon érzékelik jelenlétüket. Konfliktusaik, harcaik és egymás mellett létezésük számtalan történet forrása, melyek mind-mind ennek a csodálatos országnak a természeti kincseiből és a skótok lelkéből táplálkoznak. A varázslatos világ egyaránt elbűvöl kicsit és nagyot, gyermeket és felnőttet, az emberi szellem és kultúra örök értékeit hordozva minden korosztály számára. Hiszen a skótok is a mitikus ősi nép, a kelták leszármazottai. Varázslatos világukat, a druidák jövendöléseit nagyrészt a kor embere számára megmagyarázhatatlan légköri, időjárási és természeti jelenségek éltetik. Ezek közül az oly hatalmas sarki fény, az évszakok és a tenger megunhatatlan változásai mellett az oly aprócska jelenségek, mint a boszorkánykör és ezek magyarázatának igénye látja el mesélni valóval. Lépjenek be ebbe a csodálatos világba, melynek történeteit két elkötelezett néprajzkutató Skóciát járva, a skót nép ajkáról jegyzett le lassan-lassan kétszáz évvel ezelőtt. Mégis élő, örökké élő történetek ezek - mint minden népmese.

The Darker the Night, the Brighter the Stars
'[A] beautifully written investigation of grief ... As an exploration of love and loss, as a portrait of a person and of the nature of personhood, this book is about as true as any I have read' James McConnachie, Sunday Times
An audacious and beautiful account of grief and who we are. Memoir, neuroscience and myth interweave to create a book unlike any other
When celebrated neuropsychologist Paul Broks' wife died of cancer, he found himself plunged into the world of the bereaved. As he experienced the pain, alienation and suffering that make us human, his clinician-self seemed to watch on with keen interest. He embarked upon a voyage of experience: a journey through grief, philosophy, consciousness, humanity and magical thinking - seen through the prism of a lifetime's work in neuroscience. Fusing an account of living with and recovering from loss with thought-provoking meditations on the nature of the mind and the self, The Darker the Night, the Brighter the Stars is an audacious and beautiful work by a writer of astonishing wisdom and compassion.
Bad Blood
Now with a new afterword covering the months-long landmark trials of Elizabeth Holmes and Sunny Balwani.
Winner of the Financial Times/McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award 2018
The riveting true story of the breathtaking rise and shocking collapse of Theranos, the multibillion-dollar biotech startup founded by Elizabeth Holmes, by the prize-winning journalist who first broke the story and pursued it to the end, despite pressure from its charismatic CEO and threats by her lawyers.
In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup ‘unicorn’ promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: the technology didn’t work.
In Bad Blood, John Carreyrou tells the riveting story of the biggest corporate fraud since Enron, a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley.
Ostrov kanibalů
Otřesné svědectví ze sibiřského `druhého Gulagu` K „druhému Gulagu“ lze přirovnat hromadnou deportaci desetitisíců lidí na západosibiřský ostrov Nanzin v rámci „vyčištění“ sovětských měst od „deklasovaných a společensky škodlivých živlů“. Toto místo se stalo prostorem zvůle a násilí, kde každý měl zbraň, lidský život neměl žádnou cenu, člověk přestal být člověkem a proměnil se v šakala. Nové, nedávno zpřístupněné archivní materiály a svědectví pamětníků přinášejí obraz nezměrného utrpení lidí. Celá akce, která měla přispět k zásadní proměně údajně nepřizpůsobivých občanů a nepřátel revoluce, skončila nezdarem. Kdo byl zodpovědný za útrapy lidí, kteří po tisících proudili do nekonečných sibiřských pustin?
