1950s Tehran. In an alleyway an abandoned baby cries into the night, attracting the attention of the young man who will save her.
And so begins the story of Aria, an orphan girl who comes of age on the volatile streets.

Lacná kniha Malentendido
EL MALENTENDIDO es una de las más celebres piezas teatrales de Albert Camus (1913-1960), cuyo talento literario y sensibilidad se centraron siempre en la complejidad, la ambigüedad y la riqueza de la condición humana. Sus obras dramáticas se revelan como un medio especialmente eficaz para desplegar conflictos ideológicos y éticos a través de personajes veraces y situaciones límite. En esta obra, escrita durante la ocupación alemana en Francia, un destino no sólo ciego, sino también voluntariamente cruel, convierte en criminales a seres inocentes. Otras obras de Camus en esta Biblioteca de autor: «El extranjero» (BA 0657), «Los justos» (BA 0658), «Calígula» (BA 0659), «El mito de Sísifo» (BA 0660), «La caída» (BA 0661), «El exilio y el reino» (BA 0662) y «El hombre rebelde» (BA 0664).

Jamie 30 percesek
Jamie egyik legnépszerűbb szakácskönyvében megmutatja, hogyan készíthetsz el egy teljes menüt röpke 30 perc alatt. Nemcsak egy ételt, hanem egy komplett ebédet vagy vacsorát!
„Ha te is annyira szeretsz főzni, mint én, és a fárasztó munkanap végén még éhes szájakról kell gondoskodnod, engedd, hogy megismertessem veled ezt a teljesen új módszert. Könyvemben megmutatom, hogyan lehetséges egy többfogásos étkezést megfőzni annyi idő alatt, amennyit eddig egyetlen ételre fordítottál. Ígérem, szemed-szád eláll, ha meglátod, mire vagy képes 30 perc alatt. Az enyém elállt, az biztos!
Nem arról van szó, hogy engedj a minőségből. A lényeg, hogy szervezd meg a munkát, dolgozz gyorsan, és vess be ügyes mesterfogásokat – így szinte pillanatok alatt észbontóan finom ételeket tudsz az asztalra varázsolni. A 30 percesekben olvasható 50 ételsor mindegyikének leírása lényegre törő: semmi hókuszpókusz, csak lendületes, gyors főzés. A menüket úgy állítottam össze, hogy az egyes ételek jól passzoljanak egymáshoz; a receptek könnyen követhetők. A főzésnek ez a módszere arról szól, hogy célirányosan használjunk ki minden percet, érezzük jól magunkat, és a konyha nyerje vissza végre azt a funkcióját, amire kitalálták.
Lehet, hogy most beléd villan: ilyen nincs, de én garantálom, hogy lehetséges. Lapozz bele, hogy lásd, milyen életsorokat fogsz megalkotni. Ha egyszer elkezdesz így főzni, nemcsak hogy imádni fogod: sose főzöl többé a régi módon!”

Lacná kniha Les Reveries du Promeneur Solitaire (-70%)
Débranchez vos téléphones portables et relisez Les Rêveries du promeneur solitaire pour redécouvrir ce que l'on doit à la solitude et au libre vagabondage de ses pensées. Perpétuellement dérangé, et comme détourné de lui-même par d'incessantes sollicitations, "l'homme pressé" du monde contemporain pourrait bien retrouver dans la lecture de ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature française l'occasion d'un recueillement salutaire. Ces heures de solitude et de méditation sont les seules de la journée où je sois pleinement moi et à moi sans diversion, sans obstacle, et où je puisse véritablement dire être ce que la nature a voulu. Seconde promenade Si vous avez aimé La Première Gorgée de bière de Philippe Delerm, vous éprouverez sans conteste les délectations d'une prose admirable qui restitue l'expérience élémentaire de la dégustation et de l'attention savoureuse au monde qui caractérise ces moments délivrés de l'urgence où nous nous laissons aller aux joies simples de l'existence. Loin d'exalter l'enracinement et le goût du terroir, Rousseau, en ce sens résolument moderne, nous rappelle qu'un homme libre n'a pas de racines mais des pieds, pour s'en servir et parcourir le monde. Une invitation à la marche, à lire dans l'esprit cosmopolite propre au Siècle des lumières ! --Paul Klein

The Spell
A romance set in Italy involving a love triangle of Helen, Inez, and Jack, tangled up in a spell of dual personalities, in the present and in the past. Excerpts:..."SLOWLY THE SPELL BEGAN TO WORK UPON INEZ’ BRAIN. SHE WAS NO LONGER IN THE PRESENT—SHE WAS A WOMAN OF ITALY OF FOUR CENTURIES BACK."...“It has actually happened at last,” the letter began, “and your favorite wager of ‘a thousand to one on the unexpected’ has really won. In other words, I, Helen Cartwright, condemned (by myself) to live and die an old maid as penalty for being so critical of the genus homo, now confess myself completely, hopelessly in love, and so happy in my new estate that I wonder why I ever hesitated."...“Helen, dear,” she [Inez] said, “here in the presence of Mr. Cartwright and Monsignor Cerini I ask your permission to keep in my heart the image of the man I learned to love while we both were beneath the spell. That man no longer exists in the flesh, but I still worship his memory. He can never exist again except as a part of an experience which could never be repeated. Is this asking too much, dear?”“What does it all mean?” cried Helen, gazing at her helplessly—“what does it all mean?”“It means that there have been two Jacks, Helen—one of whom became transformed for a time into a veritable master-spirit of the past. To this man, I admit, I gave a devotion which I shall never—could never—give to any other; but he died, Helen, when the spell broke against that wall at the foot of the hill of Settignano. This man, even during his existence, gave me no devotion in return, and knew not the passion which he inspired in me. He had no heart, but it was not his heart I worshipped. To me his mind—broad, comprehensive, and understanding—stood for all that life could give. The other Jack—the man you married—has never wavered in the love he gave you from the first. He has suffered from the influence of the second personality in that he was forced into the background by the greater strength of this sub-conscious self; but he has also gained from its influence in the development which we all have seen. My Jack is dead, but yours still lives. He needs you, and he longs for the return to him of the wife he has always loved.”

Innocent Man
John Grisham's first work of non-fiction, an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry, is his most extraordinary legal thriller yet. In the major league draft of 1971, the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's, he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory. Six years later he was back, his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking, drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job, he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa.In 1982, a 21 year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered, and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear, they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. With no physical evidence, the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jailhouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you.

The Flame of Reason
A passionate, highly accessible clarion call to a world dangerously threatened by irrational superstitions of all kinds. 'Truly a book for our time' Steven Pinker 'In Sweden's public square, Christer Sturmark has done as much as anyone to uphold reason and humane critical thinking' Richard Dawkins 'As lucid and illuminating as it is warm and inspiring' Rebecca Goldstein In country after country, conspiracy theories and religious dogmas that once seemed to have been overtaken by enlightened thought are helping to lift authoritarian leaders into power. The effects are being felt by women, ethnic minorities, teachers, scientists and students - and by the environment, the ultimate victim of climate change denial. We need clear thinking now more than ever. Christer Sturmark is a crusading secular humanist as well as a Swedish publisher and entrepreneur, and The Flame of Reason is his manifesto for a better world. It provides a set of simple tools for clear thinking in the face of populist dogmas, anti-science attitudes and pseudo-philosophy, and suggestions for how we can move towards a new enlightenment. From truth to Quantum Physics, moral philosophy to the Myers-Briggs test, Sturmark offers a passionate defence of rational thought, science, tolerance and pluralism; a warm and engaging guide for anyone who wants to better navigate the modern world. Translated by and co-written with Douglas Hofstadter, celebrated cognitive scientist, physicist and author of Godel, Escher, Bach.

The Motorcycle Diaries
'A Latin American James Dean or Jack Kerouac' Washington Post
'It's true; Marxists just wanna have fun... a revolutionary bestseller' Guardian
At the age of twenty-three, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado set out from their native Argentina to explore their continent, with only a single 1939 Norton motorcycle to carry them, nicknamed La Poderosa ('the powerful one').
They travelled not to visit the usual tourist attractions, but to meet ordinary people and understand Latin American life. In amidst the tales of youthful adventures - of women, wine, thrilling escapes and the power of friendship - the young Che also learns first-hand about poverty, philosophy and philosophy and forms himself into the man who would become the world's most famous and admired revolutionary and freedom fighter.
'For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future' Time

The Beauty Myth
This is Vintage Feminism: classic feminist texts in short form with a new introduction by the author. Every day, women around the world are confronted with a dilemma - how to look. In a society embroiled in a cult of female beauty and youthfulness, pressure on women to conform physically is constant and all-pervading. In this shortened edition you will find the essence of Wolf's groundbreaking book. It is a radical, gripping and frank expose of the tyranny of the beauty myth, its oppressive function and the destructive obsession it engenders.
Hiroshige & Eisen The Sixty-Nine Stations Along the Kisokaido
The Kisokaido route through Japan was ordained in the early 1600s by the country's then-ruler Tokugawa Ieyasu, who decreed that staging posts be installed along the length of the arduous passage between Edo (present-day Tokyo) and Kyoto. Inns, shops, and restaurants were established to provide sustenance and lodging to weary travelers. In 1835, renowned woodblock print artist Keisai Eisen was commissioned to create a series of works to chart the Kisokaido journey. After producing 24 prints, Eisen was replaced by Utagawa Hiroshige, who completed the series of 70 prints in 1838.
Both Eisen and Hiroshige were master print practitioners. In The Sixty-Nine Stations along the Kisokaido, we find the artists' distinct styles as much as their shared expertise. From the busy starting post of Nihonbashi to the castle town of Iwamurata, Eisen opts for a more muted palette but excels in figuration, particularly of glamorous women, and relishes snapshots of activity along the route, from shoeing a horse to winnowing rice. Hiroshige demonstrates his mastery of landscape with grandiose and evocative scenes, whether it's the peaceful banks of the Ota River, the forbidding Wada Pass, or a moonlit ascent between Yawata and Mochizuki.
Taken as a whole, The Sixty-Nine Stations collection represents not only a masterpiece of woodblock practice, including bold compositions and an experimental use of color, but also a charming tapestry of 19th-century Japan, long before the specter of industrialization. This TASCHEN volume is sourced from one of the finest surviving first editions and revives the series in our compact anniversary edition.
