Collapse
I often hated my brother, but I have to understand his life. The unflinching story of Édouard Louis’s brother’s violent life and death. ‘One of the most important, politically vital and morally bracing writers of his generation’ GUARDIANÉdouard’s brother spends much of his life dreaming. He lives in a poor, working-class world, where he imagines that he will become one of the finest butchers in France, that he will travel, that he will make his fortune, that he will restore cathedrals, that he will earn his father’s love. But his reality allows none of this. There is no way to escape, no one who can show him how, and everything about him – his drinking, his violence, his behaviour with women and with others – condemns him. At thirty-eight he is found dead on the floor of his small studio apartment. This book is the story of his collapse. Translated by TASH AW‘Bracing, pulverising... burns with white-hot truth’ COLIN WALSH‘Spare, raw... Édouard Louis is someone who makes writing matter’ NEIL BARTLETT‘Louis has never been tenderer, more sophisticated, or more fully on form’ NAOISE DOLAN‘Belongs to that vital group of writers, amongst the likes of Cusk, Rankine and Ernaux, who have revitalised and reinvented their own form’ ANDREW McMILLANPraise for Édouard Louis‘I feel so lucky to be living and writing at the same time as Édouard Louis’ MAGGIE NELSON‘One of the major writers of our time’ GARTH GREENWELL‘Louis is a master of the poetics of juxtaposition, elucidating the hostile and the intimate... the vulnerable and the resilient’ YIYUN LI
Igézet - Éldekorált kiadás
Ami szunnyad, azt nem szabad felébreszteni
Térj vissza az Elemésztő erdőbe, ahol árnyak vadásznak, szörnyek lakomáznak, s ahol sűrű mágia hatja át az éjszakát. Csak egyetlen szabály számít: éld túl... ha tudod.
A gigantikus sikerű Anatéma folytatásában Maevythnek és Zevandernek át kell kelnie a halandók veszedelmekkel teli birodalmán, hogy megszabadítsák Zevandert az ősi, gonosz entitástól, amely pusztulással fenyegeti mindkét világot.
Ősi varázs ébredezik, amely sötétbe borítja a halandók világát.
Hidegebb lett. Mindenki éhesebb. Pestisként szaporodnak a húsevő szörnyetegek, terjed a baljós átok, Gyűszűvirág hitközségben már az emberiesség utolsó szikrája is rég kihunyt. Maevyth és Zevander csak úgy menekülhetnek, ha újra átkelnek az Elemésztő erdőn. A sors azonban újraszőtte a hálóját, a végzet fonalai összegabalyodtak. Talán nem is lesz olyan egyszerű az átkelés Etíriába.
Az árnyak egyre közelebb lopóznak.
Zevandernek ráadásul fogytán az ideje: minél tovább kell nélkülöznie a létfontosságú vivicantemet, annál inkább eluralkodik szellemén a téboly. Lehet, hogy Maevyth ezúttal már nem lesz képes megmenteni őt.
Keri Lake Elemésztő erdő sorozata tökéletes választás azoknak, akik kedvelik a gótikus, karakterközpontú, atmoszférikus történeteket, valamint a különleges mágiát, amit lassan kibontakozó romantika és csipetnyi horror fűszerez.
The Tiny Magic Bookshop
There's magic in a book …
Max always felt too ordinary for the magical village of Lampton. No place more so than her mum's bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste - they're magic.
When Max's mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last wish: that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it.
Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can't ignore her mum's last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks - if she can't even last that long, then a year would be impossible…
Pod tatranskými strechami
Poviedky tatranského spisovateľa, vysokohorského nosiča, záchranára a chatára Bela Kapolku (1935 – 1994) patria do zlatého fondu slovenskej literatúry. Za debut Kanadské smreky (1967) získal prestížnu Cenu Ivana Kraska, za zbierku poviedok Strecha (1968) Cenu Vydavateľstva Smena a čitateľsky obľúbené boli aj Chodníky bez značiek, v ktorých sa poviedkové príbehy prelínajú s publicistickým hodnotením diania v podtatranských osadách. Z nich vedú značkované chodníky k vysokohorských chatám, odkiaľ sa vydávajú turisti a horolezci na lákavé, náročné i nebezpečné trasy sedlami a žulovými stenami k vrcholom najmenších európskych veľhôr. Kapolkove knižky nezoženiete už ani v antikvariáte, a tak sa Vydavateľstvo Spolku spisovateľov rozhodlo vyslať ich k súčasným čitateľom spoločne pod názvom Pod tatranskými strechami. Spisovateľ sa po príchode do Vysokých Tatier neuspokojoval s pozíciou nadšeného obdivovateľa prírodných scenérií. Bol aktívnym účastníkom diania, preto sú jeho príbehy naplnené osobnými skúsenosťami. Zbieral ich pri mnohých aktívnych činnostiach. Robil pomocníka pri tesárskych prácach, v záhrade polieval záhony a pestoval kvietky, bol plavčíkom na kúpalisku v Ružbachoch, údržbárom na strojnej a traktorovej stanici, kuričom v hoteloch, natieral stožiare diaľkového elektrického vedenia, pracoval v lese, pri lyžiarskom vleku. Písal o cezhraničnom pašovaní tovaru, ktoré spoznal aj vlastnou skúsenosťou. Vážil si nosičov ťažkých nákladov na horské chaty. Cenil si nefalšované kamarátstva, otvorené medziľudské vzťahy. Konal s úctou k prostrediu Vysokých Tatier, s ktorým bol bytostne zrastený, čo dokazoval aj v svojej literárnej tvorbe.
Mother Ghost Mango Seed
A single thread can unravel a web of secrets …
Lin returns from England to Bangkok to care for her dying mother. In the city, pro-democracy protestors clash with the military government and ambitious new king. And among all this, Lin’s mother dies.
Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother’s favourite dish, but her mother’s recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers.
As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past.
To the Moon
The bestselling South Korean phenomenon, To the Moon is a bittersweet tale of wealth and class, female friendship, and the promise of the future when good fortune seems to be just around the corner.
In Seoul, three young women meet while working mundane desk jobs at a confectionary manufacturer. They become fast friends, taking their conversations out of the group chat as they bond over their 'average' employee report cards, the incompetence of their male team leader and a mutual longing for financial freedom amid mediocre raises.
Eun-sang, the eldest of the group, is always looking for ways to earn extra money, but faces trouble at work after she opens a mini mart at her desk.
Jisong, the youngest, dreams of a perfect romance with her Taiwanese boyfriend and spends her low salary on trips to Taipei.
Meanwhile, Dahae searches endlessly for a better apartment - albeit one she can actually afford.
One day over lunch, Eun-sang announces a plan to make enough money to quit her job, by investing her life's savings in cryptocurrency. What's more, she thinks the others should join her. All they need to do, she says, is hold on tight and wait for the price to skyrocket . . . to the moon. But as the market begins to fluctuate and spiral out of their control, the fate of their friendships - and their futures - soon hangs in the balance.
Hit or Miss - Junior Year Abroad 1
Ethan Taylor is unbeatable on and off the field. Being the star of the Marshall College soccer team – and hot as hell – has its perks. But when tragedy strikes, Ethan flies straight out of South Carolina and to the intimidating halls of Hemden University, where even his Southern charm can’t melt the stiff British upper lips…
Mia Meyers has never had much luck with people. Having always been a bookish wallflower, junior year abroad could be her one chance to step into the spotlight. So, when Mia realises that she’s not the only student from Marshall across the pond this year, she is determined that no one will get in the way of her new life – not even Ethan Taylor.
But why is it that Ethan’s infuriatingly sexy green eyes can’t stop staring at her, and why doesn’t she want him to look away? They may be far from friends at home, but under the spires of Hemden, could this striker score her heart?

Guilt-ridden and grieving, she finds herself running from the law to chase her longtime dream of making movies, at a school she's never heard of. Soon, she's dropped into Acheron's cutthroat world of seductive intrigue, power on an otherworldly scale, and deadly competition.

The Children
Their childhood was yours. They want it back . . .
Guinevere's late mother, Edith Sharpe, needs little introduction. Bestselling author of the unendingly successful Ninth City series, her books brought so much joy and inspired the imagination of countless children the world over. Guin's childhood with her mother, brother Ennis and her actor father was a blissful, bohemian affair, filled with continuous laughter and surrounded by artistic types in their Vermont barnhouse. At least, this is the story Guin presents as she prepares for the press tour for her upcoming memoir about life in the Sharpe family.
Now estranged from her brother and her parents long dead after a devastating fire, strange events threaten the veneer of serenity and familial harmony Guin is keen to project. Ennis, now a notorious artist with a troubled past, announces a new installation - his first since a disastrous last show one year prior - simply entitled Mother. And Guin can't help but worry that the truth behind their idyllic childhood is about to blow her world apart.
Told in alternating narratives between 1990s Vermont and present-day New York, The Children is a twisting narrative of family secrets and long-held resentments, which asks whether we can ever really exorcise the ghosts of a childhood forsaken in favour of a parent's artistic vision.

Mindegy / Tegnap
Volt egy minden alkalomra megfelelő, jól kitalált gyermekkorom, egy minden részletében kidolgozott hazugság. Már többször használtam.
Huszonöt rövid, kíméletlenül lecsupaszított nyelven írt novella és egy feszes szerkezetű hosszabb elbeszélés alkotja e kötet anyagát, amely voltaképpen két önálló Agota Kristof-mű (a Mindegy című, 2005-ben megjelent novellagyűjtemény és a Tegnap, az 1995-ben publikált kisregény) egy könyvvé összeolvasztott változata.
Nyári szünet
4 anya, 7 gyerek és 1 nyár, amit tényleg mindenki vár Bogi, Anett, Rami és Iza, vagyis a B.A.R.I.-nők nyarai már hét éve a gyermekeikről, a családjaikról szólnak. Ezért megfogadják, hogy ezen a nyáron minden más lesz. Ez a szünet róluk is szólni fog. Végre újra elutaznak közösen, gyerekek és férjek nélkül. És még néhány átbulizott, vad estét is beterveznek ebbe a tíz hétbe. De hát ugye anya tervez... majd újratervez. És újratervez. És megint újratervez, és valahogy megint a lista legvégén találja magát. Vagy ezúttal talán mégsem?
Zubor Rozi, háromgyermekes IgenAnya, újságíró, podcaster, a Micsoda történetek-könyvsorozat társszerzője egy humoros, de komoly mondanivalóval rendelkező regénnyel örvendezteti meg az olvasókat. Emlékeztet arra, hogy az önfeledt nevetés, a legjobb barátok, egy kis tánc és időnként egy-egy nagy beszélgetés segíthet a legnehezebb időszakokat is könnyebben átvészelni. Mint amilyen például a nyári szünet...
