Iron Flame - Vasláng - Éldekorált kiadás


Mindenki arra számított, hogy Violet Sorrengail a Basgiath Katonai Főiskolán már az első tanévben meghal. Violet is ezt hitte. De a Csépelés még csak az első lehetetlen próbatétel volt, amelynek során a gyenge akaratúak, az érdemtelenek és a nem szerencsések kihullanak. Most tehát megkezdődik az igazi kiképzés, és Violet máris azon tépelődik, hogy fogja ezt átvészelni. Nemcsak arról van szó, hogy a kiképzés iszonyatosan nehéz és szándékosan brutális, vagy hogy megpróbálják a lovasok fájdalomtűrését az elviselhetetlenségig és azon túl is fokozni. De ott az új parancsnok-helyettes, aki személyes küldetésének tekinti, hogy megértesse Violettel, mennyire tehetetlen - hacsak el nem árulja azt a férfit, akit szeret. Bár Violet teste talán gyöngébb és törékenyebb, mint másoké, de az esze a helyén van, és vasakarata is van. És a vezetés elfeledkezik a legfontosabb tanulságról, amire a Basgiath Violetet megtanította: a sárkánylovasok maguk hozzák a saját szabályaikat. De ebben az évben nem elég, hogy mindenáron életben akar maradni. Mert Violet ismeri a Basgiath Katonai Főiskola évszázadokon át őrzött igazi titkát, és semmi, még a sárkánytűz sem elég, hogy a végén megmentse őket.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Dreaming Girl (manga)


“What shape that future takes is up to you now.”Shouko Makinohara’s weak heart didn’t afford her the luxury of a future, but meeting Sakuta made her yearn for one all the same. Sakuta might be a rascal, but deep down, he’s a softie when it comes to those most important to him. And sure enough, before Sakuta can decipher what’s so familiar about this girl he’s seemingly never met, she’d already fallen in love with him. But the choices we are forced to make in the name of love are never as simple as the act of falling for someone in the first place. When their future is shattered by unthinkable tragedy, Shouko’s own case of Adolescence Syndrome may be the only thing that can put the pieces back together—even if it could cost her everything…

Catherine: A Retelling of Wuthering Heights


The greatest tragic love story ever told – but this time, Catherine tells it herself. In Catherine, Essie Fox breathes new life into Wuthering Heights, transforming a gothic masterpiece into a haunting confession of obsession, madness and love that even death cannot end. With a nature as wild as the moors she loves to roam, Catherine Earnshaw grows up alongside Heathcliff, a foundling her father rescued from the streets of Liverpool. Their fierce, untamed bond deepens as they grow – until Mr Earnshaw’s death leaves Hindley, Catherine’s brutal brother, in control and Heathcliff reduced to servitude. Desperate to protect him, Catherine turns to Edgar Linton, the handsome heir to Thrushcross Grange. She believes his wealth might free Heathcliff from cruelty – but her choice is fatally misunderstood, and their lives spiral into a storm of passion, jealousy and revenge. Now, eighteen years later, Catherine rises from her grave to tell her story – and seek redemption. Essie Fox’s Catherine reimagines Wuthering Heights with beauty and intensity – a haunting, atmospheric retelling that brings new life to a timeless classic and lays bare the dark heart of an immortal love.

Tünetek


A tó vize sohasem édes szerzőjétől Loris fiatal, művelt, céltudatos. Egy sikeres könyvkiadóban dolgozik, a párkapcsolata rendezett, élete a felszínen éppoly stabil, mint amilyenre vágyik. Mégis minden szétesik körülötte. A teste jelzéseket küld, de az orvosi vizsgálatok szerint minden rendben. Csakhogy semmi sincs rendben. A mélypont felé közeledve Loris lassan rájön, hogy nem a gyógyulást, hanem önmaga megértését kell keresnie. Caminito írásaiban a társadalmi különbségek, a női tapasztalat és a fiatal generációk láthatatlan terhei állnak középpontban. Új regénye pontosan ábrázolja a modern élet láthatatlan kríziseit: a szorongást, a túlterheltséget, a csendes lemondást, amit senki sem nevez betegségnek. A Tünetek egy generáció belső összeomlásának története, amely fájdalmasan ismerős lehet mindannyiunk számára. „És ekkor észrevesz valamit: a fájdalom kezd feláramlani a mellkasába és a bal karjába, zuhanásérzet fogja el, közeledik a pánik, és hamarosan infarktustünetei lesznek, amiken nem tud úrrá lenni, sőt biztosra veszi majd, hogy infarktust kapott. Miért hazudik nekem ez a test, kérdi magától, miért képes a legszörnyűbb bajokat is szimulálni?”

To Lose a War


Jon Lee Anderson first reported from Afghanistan in the late 1980s, covering the US-backed mujahideen’s insurrection against the Soviet-backed regime in Kabul. Within days of the 9/11 attacks, he was again on the ground as an early eyewitness to the new war launched by the US against the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies. At the time, the American military had prevailed on the battlefield, and the newfound peace seemed to offer a precious space for Afghan society to restore itself and to forge a democratic future. But all was not well: Osama bin Laden was still in hiding, the Taliban were stealthily reorganizing for a comeback, and the United States was about to turn its attention to Iraq. To Lose a War collects Anderson’s writing from Afghanistan over a near-quarter-century span, offering a chronological account of a monumental tragedy as it unfolds. The colossal waste, missed signals, and wishful thinking that characterized the twenty-year arc of the US-led war in Afghanistan have consecrated it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures of the modern era, and a bellwether of a larger American imperial decline.

Looking at Women, Looking at War


WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE WITH A FOREWORD FROM MARGARET ATWOOD 'This book would always have been important evidence that the Ukraine people were suffering criminal attack. Written by a poet, it is also a work of literature, published after the author lost her life doing her research. It is an icon of a young woman's heroism' Philippa Gregory Destined to be a classic, a poet's powerful look at the courage of resistance. When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Victoria Amelina was busy writing a novel, taking part in the country's literary scene, and parenting her son. Then she became someone new: a war crimes researcher and the chronicler of extraordinary women like herself who joined the resistance. These heroines include Evgenia, a prominent lawyer turned soldier, Oleksandra, who documented tens of thousands of war crimes and won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2022, and Yulia, a librarian who helped uncover the abduction and murder of a children's book author. Everyone in Ukraine knew that Amelina was documenting the war. She photographed the ruins of schools and cultural centers; she recorded the testimonies of survivors and eyewitnesses to atrocities. And she slowly turned back into a storyteller, writing what would become this book. On the evening of June 27th, 2023, Amelina and three international writers stopped for dinner in the embattled Donetsk region. Whena Russian cruise missile hit the restaurant, Amelina suffered grievous head injuries, and lost consciousness. She died on July 1st. She was thirty-seven. She left behind an incredible account of the ravages of war and the cost of resistance. Honest, intimate, and wry, this book will be celebrated as a classic.

Hotel Ukraine


Arkady Renko returns in this tense political thriller, from one of the undisputed masters of the genre.   When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem.   Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson’s, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky’s murder, he realizes that the man’s death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed.   Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs – but this time Arkady’s life is not the only one on the line.PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH:   'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' Mick Herron 'Among the first of a new generation of writers who made thrillers literary' Guardian 'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' Val McDermid​ 'The undisputed master of the political crime thriller' Abir Mukherjee 'One of the finest writers of our age' Charlotte Philby
