The Táin
[A] brilliant and altogether engaging new translation (Los Angeles Times) of the greatest epic in Irish literature Dating from the eighth century, The Táin is the oldest Irish epic, a mythic tale on par with Beowulf and The Aeneid. Following legendary warrior Cù Chulainn into his battle against the invading army of Connacht, The Táin is the story of the emergence of a hero, a paean to the Irish landscape, and a bawdy and contentious marital farce. In its first translation in forty years, Ciaran Carson brings this seminal work of Irish literature fully to life, capturing all of its visceral power in what acclaimed poets Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon individually called one of the best books of the year.
My Story
Nicknamed 'the Ledge' on account of his legendary status, John Greig has been voted the greatest Ranger of all time by the fans and his statue stands outside Ibrox. His achievements speak for themselves: numerous Scottish Championships and Cups, captain of the successful European Cup-Winners' Cup side of 1972 and the only member of three Treble-winning sides. He also captained his country, winning 44 caps for Scotland. In 1978 he moved from the dressing room to the Rangers manager's office where he enjoyed Cup sucesses but never quite reached the heights he achieved as a player. Here he recounts the highs and lows of his career and relives classic moments on the pitch and numerous off-the-pitch antics with both club and country.

Birds without Wings
Set against the backdrop of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, the Gallipoli campaign and the subsequent bitter struggle between Greeks and Turks, Birds Without Wings" traces the fortunes of one small community in south-west Anatolia - a town in which Christian and Muslim lives and traditions have co-existed peacefully for centuries. When war is declared and the outside world intrudes, the twin scourges of religion and nationalism lead to forced marches and massacres, and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed. Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty, and Ibrahim the Goatherd who has courted her since infancy are but two of the many casualties. With the end of a community that once transcended religious differences, their great love seems destined to end in tragedy and madness..."

Kamera
Gyorsan kiderült róla, hogy a világ egyik, ha nem a legkiválóbb vezérevezős kajakosa. Jelentős érdeme van abban, hogy a magyar csapathajó hosszú időn át vezető pozíciót foglalt el a világ- elitben. A háromszoros olimpiai, világ- és Európa-bajnok kajakozó, Kammerer Zoltán, alias Kamera öt olimpián képviselte hazája színeit. Sydney-ben és Athénban három aranyérmet "lapátolt" össze társaival, Pekingben az ötkarikás nyári játékok megnyitóján ő vitte a magyar zászlót, Londonban harmincnégy évesen, új fiúkkal, a dobogó második fokára sztrókolta a hajót.
Pálfalvi Gábor rádiós-újságíró, több nagy sikerű sporttémájú könyv szerzője, sorrendben hetedik, egyben hiánypótló kötetéből az egyik legsikeresebb magyar sportoló bámulatos győ- zelmekkel és kudarcokkal övezett különleges életútját ismerheti meg az olvasó. A Kamera című kötetben a főszereplő mellett társai, a karrierjét segítő edzők, szövetségi kapitányok, sport- vezetők, olimpiai bajnokok, rádió- és televízióriporterek, a hazai művészvilág illusztris színészei és zenészei is megszólalnak, a kajakos zseniről vallanak.
A sportág élő legendája harminckét esztendeje ül a hajóban és rövidesen negyvenkettedik születésnapját ünnepli. Sokszor bejelentette, hogy végleg leteszi a kajaklapátot, de eddig nem tudta megtenni. Ma is a 2020-as nyári ötkarikás játékokra készülő kajak-kenu válogatott keret tagja. Tokió már a hatodik olimpiája lenne...

Soul. R&B. Funk. Photographs 1972-1982
"For ten glorious years, I had the best seat in the house."-Bruce W. TalamonTalamon saw it all during the golden age of soul, R&B, and funk. Throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, this young African American photographer from Los Angeles found himself backstage with an all-access pass to the heart of the music scene. He caught his first big break landing a position as a staff photographer at SOUL Newspaper in LA in the early 1970s, just as soul, R&B, and funk were becoming part of the mainstream. He captured the rehearsals and sound checks, recording sessions and costume fittings, the quiet reflective moments and life on the road, and, of course, the wild photo shoots and memorable performances. These photographs define an era famed for its glamour, fabulous fashions, and utter devotion to the groove.Including close to 300 photographs from 1972 to 1982, the extensive Talamon archives are presented in full detail for the first time. Whether you're a diehard soul fan or a thrilled newcomer to the aesthetic magic of the 1970s, the collection exudes the infectious spirit of an exuberant age. Featuring icons such as Earth, Wind & Fire; Marvin Gaye; Diana Ross; Parliament-Funkadelic; Al Green; Gil Scott-Heron; James Brown; Barry White; Rick James; Aretha Franklin; the Jackson Five; Donna Summer; and Chaka Khan and many others; there are also several stops at the legendary Soul Train studios. Talamon documented a visual period in black music that lasted way past the midnight hour and will never come again.This release is an affordable, compact version of our Art Edition, limited to 500 copies and featuring a portfolio of four prints signed by Bruce W. Talamon.

Silent Girl
In the murky shadows of an alley lies a female’s severed hand. On the tenement rooftop above is the corpse belonging to that hand, a red-haired woman dressed all in black, the body nearly decapitated. Two strands of silver hair — not human — cling to her body. They are Rizzoli’s only clues, but they’re enough for her and medical examiner Maura Isles to make a startling discovery: This violent death had a chilling prequel. Nineteen years earlier, a horrifying murder-suicide in a Chinatown restaurant left five people dead. One woman connected to that massacre is still alive: a mysterious martial arts master who knows a secret she dares not tell, a secret that lives and breathes in the shadows of Chinatown. A secret that may not even be human. Now she’s the target of someone, or something, deeply and relentlessly evil. Cracking a crime resonating with bone-chilling echoes of an ancient Chinese legend, Rizzoli and Isles must outwit an unseen enemy with centuries of cunning — and a swift, avenging blade.

Commando
Raised in Queens, where he worked as a plumber while honing his guitar skills, Johnny Ramone eventually became a founding member of The Ramones, one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Often called the first punk rock outfit, their status is now legendary. But despite becoming an international star when he was alive, Johnny never really strayed from his blue-collar roots and attitude. His bouts of delinquency as a kid might have given way to true discipline when it came to keeping the band in line, but he was truly imbued with the angr y-young-man spirit that would characterise his persona on and off stage. Johnny was the driving force behind the Ramones, sometimes referred to as a drill sergeant, bringing order and regiment to the band. This was evident in the speed, accuracy and intensity of their music. Johnny kept the band focused and moving forward, ultimately securing their place in rock history. The Ram ones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002 and two years later, Johnny dies of cancer, outliving the other two founding members and getting the last and complete word. Brutally honest, revealing and touching, this is Johnny Ramones's story and the story of the Ramones from start to finish, told in his own words and on his own terms. In addition to his story, the book will contain Johnny's annotated and graded assessment of the Ramones' albums, a number of eccentric Top Ten Lists; favourite Elvis films, favourite Republicans [Johnny was actually pretty conservative], favourite horror films, pages from his legendary "black books" with notes on concerts, inspirations, anecdotes and scores of black and white and colour photos, many of which have not been published before.

From Bacteria to Bach and Back
'Required reading for anyone remotely curious about how they came to be remotely curious' Observer 'Enthralling' Spectator What is human consciousness and how is it possible? These questions fascinate thinking people from poets and painters to physicists, psychologists, and philosophers. This is Daniel C. Dennett's brilliant answer, extending perspectives from his earlier work in surprising directions, exploring the deep interactions of evolution, brains and human culture. Part philosophical whodunnit, part bold scientific conjecture, this landmark work enlarges themes that have sustained Dennett's career at the forefront of philosophical thought. In his inimitable style, laced with wit and thought experiments, Dennett shows how culture enables reflection by installing a profusion of thinking tools, or memes, in our brains, and how language turbocharges this process. The result: a mind that can comprehend the questions it poses, has emerged from a process of cultural evolution. An agenda-setting book for a new generation of philosophers and thinkers, From Bacteria to Bach and Back is essential for anyone who hopes to understand human creativity in all its applications

Királyok Veszte
Nincs ?mit tenni, ha hív a végzet…
Egy dalnok inasaként Kihrin legendás tettek meséin nőtt fel. Közben tolvajként azért küzd, hogy elég pénzt gyűjtsön, és kijusson a Főváros nyomornegyedéből. Egyszer azonban rossz házat foszt ki, felfigyel rá egy démon, és az élete gyökeresen megváltozik.
Kihrin szorult helyzete magára vonja az egyik uralkodóház figyelmét, akik azt állítják, hogy ő a züllött hercegük rég elveszett fia, és maguk közé fogadják. Az ifjú, akinek az élete ezzel korántsem vesz örömteli fordulatot, belekeveredik új családja kegyetlen törekvéseinek hálójába, és hamar rájön, hogy rég elveszett hercegnek lenni egyáltalán nem olyan, mint a mesékben.
A helyzet csak tovább romlik, amikor Kihrin megszökik kincsekkel teli börtönéből. Megtudja ugyanis, hogy ő áll egy ősi, rettenetes jóslat középpontjában, és az istenektől a démonokig, a sárkányoktól a mágusokig minden oldal a saját céljai érdekében akarja felhasználni őt. Kihrin kénytelen szembesülni azzal, hogy a gyerekkorában hallott régi mesék elég sok mindenről hazudtak. Főképp arról, hogy a történet végén mindig a hős győzedelmeskedik.
De Kihrin talán nem is hős, hiszen nem az a végzete, hogy megmentse a világot. Hanem az, hogy elpusztítsa.

Lacná kniha Black Angel (-50%)
The Black Angel begins with the disappearance of a young prostitute from one of New York City's seamiest neighborhoods. Like so many tormented souls before her, the girl's mother is inevitably drawn to Charlie Parker's doorstep desperate for redemption and revenge. Despite the danger that his chosen profession imposes on his wife and newborn daughter, Parker knows that the woman and her troubles cannot be ignored. As always, he is driven as much by the evil that simmers in the hidden honeycomb world as he is by the ties of friendship and blood.
As Parker gets closer to the girl's captors, he discovers that her disappearance is linked to a church of bones in Eastern Europe, to the slaughter at a French monastery in 1944, and to the myth of an object known as the Black Angel -- an object considered by evil men to be beyond priceless. But the Black Angel is not a legend. It is real. It lives. It dreams. And the mystery of its existence may contain the secret of Parker's own origins.
