The Grace Year – A tizenhatodik év
Senki nem beszél a kegyelem évéről. Garner megyében azt tartják az emberek a fiatal lányokról, hogy varázshatalmuknál fogva házasságokat forgatnak fel és rabságba taszítják a férfiakat. Már különleges bőrük is ellenállhatatlan afrodiziákumot választ ki, amely a nőiség küszöbén álló kamaszlányok varázslata. Így tizenhatodik életévükben a vad természetbe, egy szigetre száműzik őket, hogy ott megszabadulhassanak sötét hatalmuktól, és kezes feleséggé válhassanak. Már aki hazatér élve. A tizenhat éves Tierney James ennél jobb életről álmodik: egy olyan világról, amelyik nem állítja szembe egymással sem a barátokat, sem a nőket. Mikor azonban kezdetét veszi számára is a kegyelem éve, hamar rájön, hogy nem egyedül az elemek tombolásától kell félnie. Nem is csak a trancsírozóktól, akik prédára vadásznak a táborlakók közül, hogy busás áron adják el a megyebelieknek örök fiatalságot ígérő testrészeiket. A legnagyobb fenyegetést egészen máshol leselkedik rá. Vajon ellen tud majd állni a szív szavának?

The Call of Cthulhu and Other Stories (EN)
At the heart of these stories, as with all the best of Lovecraft’s work, is the belief that the Earth was once inhabited by powerful and evil gods, just waiting for the chance to recolonise their planet. Cthulhu is one such god, lurking deep beneath the sea until called into being by cult followers who – like all humans – know not what they do.

KDO: Gavin Friday & The Friday-Seezer Ensemble byl hudební projekt založený irským zpěvákem a skladatelem Gavinem Fridayem. Projekt vznikl v 90. letech a spojil hudebníky různých žánrů, aby vytvořili jedinečnou hudbu, která kombinovala prvky rocku, alternativy, divadelní hudby a experimentálního zvuku. Gavin Friday byl známý svým expresivním hlasem a dramatickým stylem výkonu. Jeho hudba byla často provokativní a kontroverzní, a texty se dotýkaly temných a introspektivních témat. Skupina The Friday-Seezer Ensemble byla pojmenována po spolupracovníkovi a hudebníkovi Mauricu Seezerovi.

Unicorn In The Barn
For years people have claimed to see a mysterious white deer in the woods around Chinaberry Creek. One evening, Eric Harper thinks he spots it. But a deer doesn't have a coat that shimmers like a pearl, or an ivory horn curling from its forehead.
When Eric discovers the unicorn is hurt and being taken care of by the vet next door and her daughter, Allegra, his life is transformed. He's thrust into a world of magical creatures just as his world at home starts to crumble. A tender tale of love, loss, and the connections we make, The Unicorn in the Barn shows us that sometimes ordinary life can take extraordinary turns.

Around the Globe. Rethinking Oral History with Its Protagonists
Publikace Around the Globe. Rethinking Oral History with Its Protagonists přináší rozhovory s třinácti významnými osobnostmi, které se zabývají orální historií. Profesor Miroslav Vaněk formou interview zaznamenal nejen části životních příběhů těchto osobností, to, jak a proč se začali orální historií zabývat, ale i jejich názory na postavení a význam orální historie v rámci společenských věd. V rozhovorech je reflektováno, jak se vyrovnávají s často kladenou otázkou subjektivity orální historie, zda orální historii považují za obor nebo metodu a jestli je taková klasifikace důležitá. Osobnosti jako David King Dunaway, Ronald Grele, Elizabeth Millwood, Alexander von Plato, Alessandro Portelli, Alistair Thomson, Paul Thompson a další se zároveň zamýšlejí nad budoucností orální historie v době rychle se rozvíjejících technologií i nad možnostmi interpretace orálně historických interview. Publikace je určena všem zájemcům o společenské vědy.

Once Upon a Time in Russia: The Rise of the Oligarchs and the Greatest Wealth in History
This is a gripping and shocking insight into the lives of Russia's most famous oligarchs from New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Billionaires and Bringing Down the House. Once Upon a Time in Russia is the untold true story of the larger-than-life billionaire oligarchs who surfed the waves of privatization to reap riches after the fall of the Soviet regime: "Godfather of the Kremlin" Boris Berezovsky, a former mathematician whose first entrepreneurial venture was running an automobile reselling business, and Roman Abramovich, his dashing young protege who built a multi-billion-dollar empire of oil and aluminium. Locked in a complex, uniquely Russian partnership, Berezovsky and Abramovich battled their way through the "Wild East" of Russia with Berezovsky acting as the younger man's krysha- literally, his roof, his protector. Written with the heart-stopping pacing of a thriller -but even more compelling because it is true - this story of amassing obscene wealth and power depicts a rarefied world seldom seen up close. Under Berezovsky's krysha, Abramovich built one of Russia's largest oil companies from the ground up and in exchange made cash deliveries - including 491 million dollars in just one year. But their relationship frayed when Berezovsky attacked President Vladimir Putin in the media - and had to flee to the UK. Abramovich continued to prosper. Dead bodies trailed Berezovsky's footsteps, and threats followed him to London, where an associate of his died painfully and famously of Polonium poisoning. Then Berezovsky himself was later found dead, declared a suicide. Exclusively sourced, capturing a momentous period in recent world history, Once Upon a Time in Russia is at once personal and political, offering an unprecedented look into the wealth, corruption, and power behind what Graydon Carter called 'the story of our age'.

There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important Than Kindness
One of the most inspiring and counter-intuitive thinkers of our age, the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, transforms the way we think about the world with his reflections on science, history and humanityIn this collection of writings, the logbook of an intelligence always on the move, Carlo Rovelli follows his curiosity and invites us on a voyage through science, history, philosophy and politics. Written with his usual clarity and wit, these pieces range widely across time and space: from Newton's alchemy to Einstein's mistakes, from Nabokov's butterflies to Dante's cosmology, from travels in Africa to the consciousness of an octopus, from mind-altering psychedelic substances to the meaning of atheism. Charming, pithy and elegant, this book is the perfect gateway to the universe of one of the most influential scientists of our age.
In the Name of God
In this groundbreaking book, Selina O'Grady examines how and why the post-Christian and the Islamic worlds came to be as tolerant or intolerant as they are. She asks whether tolerance can be expected to heal today's festering wound between these two worlds, or whether something deeper than tolerance is needed.
Told through contemporary chronicles, stories and poems, Selina O'Grady takes the reader through the intertwined histories of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish persecutors and persecuted. From Umar, the seventh century Islamic caliph who laid down the rules for the treatment of religious minorities in what was becoming the greatest empire the world has ever known, to Magna Carta John who seriously considered converting to Islam; and from al-Wahaabi, whose own brother thought he was illiterate and fanatical, but who created the religious-military alliance with the house of Saud that still survives today, to Europe's bloody Thirty Years war that wearied Europe of murderous inter-Christian violence but probably killed God in the process.
This book is an essential guide to understanding Islam and the West today and the role of religion in the modern world.

Vaják II. - The Witcher - A végzet kardja
Az utolsó kívánság nagy sikerű folytatásában Geralt további novellákban küzd szörnyekkel, démonokkal és emberi gonoszsággal…
Geralt a vajákok közé tartozik: mágikus képességeinek köszönhetően, amelyeket hosszan tartó kiképzése és egy rejtélyes elixír csak még tovább csiszolt, zseniális és könyörtelen harcos hírében áll. Ugyanakkor nem hétköznapi gyilkos: célpontjai vérszomjas szörnyetegek és aljas fenevadak, amelyek mindenütt hatalmas pusztítást végeznek, és megtámadják az ártatlanokat. A birodalmat járva azonban fokozatosan ráébred, hogy bár prédái egy része kétségtelenül elvetemült szörnyeteg, mások azonban bűn, ármány vagy egyszerű ostobaság áldozatai.
Andrzej Sapkowski 1948-ban született Lengyelországban. Hazája egyik leghíresebb és legsikeresebb szerzőjének számít. A World Fantasy Életműdíjjal kitüntetett szerző Vaják-sorozatával nemzetközi sikert aratott, könyvei alapján képregények és számítógépes játékok is készültek, 2019-ben pedig a Netflix forgatott belőlük sorozatot Henry Cavill főszereplésével.

Eltékozolt évtized - The lost decade
All sorts of people came into the offices of the news-weekly and Orrison Brown had all sorts of relations with them. Outside of office hours he was ?one of the editors??during work time he was simply a curly-haired man who a year before had edited the Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern and was now only too glad to take the undesirable assignments around the office, from straightening out illegible copy to playing call boy without the title. A legkülönbözõbb típusú emberek látogatták a hetilap szerkesztõségének irodáit, és Orrison Brown ennek megfelelõen bánt velük. Munkaidõn kívül ?a szerkesztõk egyike? volt, de munkaidõben csak egy fürtös hajú fiatalember, aki egy évvel ezelõtt még a Jack-o-Lantern címû harvardi diáklapot szerkesztette, és most mindennek örült, amit a hivatalban rábíztak. Annak is, aminek mások nem nagyon. Például az olvashatatlan kéziratok szerkesztésétõl a kefelevonattal való futkározásig.
