MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios
The unauthorized, behind-the-scenes story of the most popular, lucrative, and transformative cultural phenomenon of our time: the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Entertainment was a struggling toymaker not even twenty years ago. Today, Marvel Studios is the dominant player both in Hollywood and in global pop culture. But what accounts for its stunning rise?
In MCU, beloved culture writers Joanna Robinson, Dave Gonzales, and Gavin Edwards draw on more than a hundred interviews with actors, producers, directors, and writers to present the definitive chronicle of Marvel Studios and its sole, ongoing production, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As they delve into the studio's key moments - from the contentious hiring of Robert Downey Jr. for Iron Man to the negotiations over Disney's acquisition of Marvel to studio head Kevin Feige's embrace of streaming TV - the authors demonstrate that the genius of Marvel was its resurrection and modification of Hollywood's old studio system. Dishy and authoritative, MCU is the first book to tell the Marvel Studios story in full - and an essential, effervescent account of popular culture.
The Office
Színfalak mögötti pillantás a The Office / A hivatal sorozatra, a 21. század ikonikus tévéműsorára, az alkotók, a szerzők és a színészek saját szavaival.
Mikor lógtál utoljára Jimmel, Pammel, Dwighttal, Michaellel és a többi Dunder Mifflin-dolgozóval? Talán 2016-ban lehetett, amikor Magyarországon adásba került az utolsó évad fináléja. De az se kizárt, hogy tegnap este, amikor egymás után három epizódot ledaráltál. Az USA-ban 15 éve került a képernyőkre ez a sorozat (Magyarországon 2008-ban), de ma népszerűbb, mint valaha. A rajongóknak csak egy gondjuk van: mit nézzenek, mit olvassanak ezután.
Ez a kötet mindenről beszámol: az ötlet gyökerei a BBC-nél, a kilenc évadon át tartó sikertörténet az USA-ban, és mindehhez egy sor exkluzív interjú és aprólékos kutatás. A harcok az NBC-nél, amikor alig hat epizód után le akarták állítani a sorozatot. Az elvetélt próbálkozás, amikor James Gandolfinit akarták behozni új főnöknek Steve Carell távozása után.
Szívet melengető és felkavaró könyv, amely bemutatja a kulcsepizódok forgatásának körülményeit és azt, ahogyan óriási popkulturális ikon lett egy furcsa, bizarr, Angliából importált, kockázatos ötletből.
Andy Greene a Rolling Stone magazin újságírója, többek közt a Radioheadről, Howard Sternről, Steve Perryről, Stephen Kingről és még sokakról írt cikkeket.
„Amikor Andy Greene meginterjúvolt, életemben először hallottam valakinek a szájából, hogy tévésorozatban játszottam... Egészen addig azt hittem, papírgyárban dolgozom. Ezzel együtt imádtam a könyvet. Nagyon el lett kapva, tele van háttérsztorikkal, amikből megtudtam egy csomó mindent.” - Creed Bratton, színész
„Helyenként szívbemarkoló, máshol nevettető, végig nagyon izgalmas. Az Office-könyv igazi kincsestár, teli részletekkel. Ez sem hiányozhat a rajongói gyűjteményből a DVD-k és a kis műanyagfigurák mellől.” - Jennie Tan, az OfficeTally.com rajongói oldal alapítója
„Kötelező olvasmány. Hihetetlenül szórakoztató. Akik imádják ezt a sorozatot, nem fogják tudni letenni, mert Andy Greene bemutatja az egész folyamatot: az ötlettől a szereplőválogatáson keresztül az írószobáig, a színészek egyes jelenetekkel kapcsolatos kommentárjaiig. Annyi minden kiderül a Dunder Mifflin vállalatról, rengeteg mindent nem is tudtam – márpedig én játszottam a tulajdonost!” - Andy Buckley, színész (szerep szerint: David Wallace)
„Lenyűgöző színfalak mögötti pillantás az Office-ra. Éveken át ez a sorozat volt az otthonom, mégis ebből a könyv

The Soul of a Woman
The wise, warm, defiant new book from literary legend Isabel Allende – a meditation on power, feminism and what it means to be a woman
When I say that I was a feminist in kindergarten, I am not exaggerating.
As a child, Isabel Allende watched her mother, abandoned by her husband, provide for her three small children. As a young woman coming of age in the late 1960s, she rode the first wave of feminism. She has seen what has been accomplished by the movement in the course of her lifetime. And over the course of three marriages, she has learned how to grow as a woman while having a partner, when to step away, and the rewards of embracing one's sexuality.
So what do women want? To be safe, to be valued, to live in peace, to have their own resources, to be connected, to have control over their bodies and lives, and above all, to be loved. On all these fronts, there is much work to be done, and this book, Allende hopes, will 'light the torch of our daughters and granddaughters with mine. They will have to live for us, as we lived for our mothers, and carry on with the work still left to be finished.'

Jude The Obscure
Hardy's masterpiece traces a poor stonemason's ill-fated romance with his free-spirited cousin. No Victorian institution is spared — marriage, religion, education — and the outrage following publication led the embittered author to renounce fiction. Modern critics hail this novel as a pioneering work of feminism and socialist thought.

In the Penal Colony
The story is set in an unnamed penal colony. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. In the Penal Colony describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the sentence of the condemned prisoner on his skin in a script before letting him die, all in the course of twelve hours. As the plot unfolds, the reader learns more and more about the machine, including its origin, and original justification.

Aerosmith - Toys In The Attic (Remastered) CD
Aerosmith je americká rocková skupina z Bostonu pohybujúca sa v rozpätí žánrov hardrocku a bluesrocku. V hudobnom biznise sú označovaní aj ako „The Bad Boys from Boston“, prípadne „America´s Greatest Rock and Roll Band“. Aerosmith vznikli v 1970 a sú 30-ročnou kapelou, hrajúcou v pôvodnej zostave. Sú taktiež najpredávanejšou americkou hardrockovou skupinou so 150 miliónmi predaných nosičov v rámci celosvetového meradla a 66,5 miliónmi predaných nosičov v rámci Spojených štátov amerických. Rekord držia aj v počte získaných zlatých a multiplatinových platní pre americkú skupinu. Kapela sa tiež umiestnila na 21. mieste v rebríčku „Top 40 hitov v horúcej 100 Billboardu“, devätkrát na prvom mieste v rebríčku „Mainstreamových rockových hitov“, získala štyri ocenenia Grammy a desať ocenení MTV Video Music Awards. V roku 2001 bola uvedená do Rock and Rollovej siene slávy a piesne „Dream On“ a „Toys In The Attic“ boli zaradené na zoznam „500 piesní, ktoré formovali rock“.V 2005 ju časopis Rolling Stone umiestnil na 57. miesto v rebríčku stovky najvýznamnejších umelcov všetkých čias. Už od začiatku kariéry bola skupina známa aj svojou ťažkou drogovou závislosťou a alkoholizmom, na základe čoho si získala prívlastky „jednej z najrozhádanejších kapiel svetovej rockovej scény", ale aj „nezničiteľnej skupiny s deviatimi životmi“, ktorá sa dokázala dostať z dna opäť na vrchol.
v roku 2023 Aerosmith vydávajú nové reedície ich štúdiových a Live albumov, väčšinou z éry Columbia Records. Neexistujú žiadne bonusové skladby, ale všetky piesne boli pre tieto vydania nanovo remastrované. Väčšina albumov vyjde aj na LP.
