The Complete Novels of Jane Austen
Celebrate the timeless wit and romance of Jane Austen with this beautifully bound deluxe edition, featuring all seven beloved novels in one elegant collector’s volume. Jane Austen revolutionized the literary romance, using it as a platform from which to address issues of gender politics and class consciousness among the British middle class of the late eighteenth century. Bound in a heat-stamped, vegan leather cover with foil accents, this collection includes all of Austen’s unabridged novels and novellas:Sense and SensibilityPride and PrejudiceMansfield ParkEmmaNorthanger AbbeyPersuasionLady SusanWith witty, unflinching morality, Austen portrays English middle-class life as the eighteenth century came to a close and the nineteenth century began. Austen’s heroines find happiness in many forms; each of the novels is a story of love and marriage—marriage for love, financial security, and for social status. In a publishing career that spanned less than ten years, her work brought her little personal fame and only a few positive reviews during her lifetime. It wasn’t until the 1940s that she became widely accepted in academia as a great English writer. The second half of the 20th century saw a proliferation of Austen scholarship and the emergence of a fan culture. Austen’s works continue to influence the course of the novel even as they charm readers today. Savor and cherish the novels of Jane Austen in this display-worthy keepsake volume. Essential volumes for the shelves of every classic literature lover, these deluxe classics editions include beautifully presented works from some of the most important authors in literary history. Other Chartwell Deluxe Editions include: Little Women, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Essential Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, Anne of Green Gables, The Inferno, Dracula, The Republic, The Iliad, Meditations, and Irish Fairy and Folk Tales.
Lobo: Incident na pánských záchodcích, 2. vydání
Lobo má plné ruce práce – musí ochránit zábavní park, zařídit si setkání na toaletách, účastnit se motorkářských závodů, chytit taxíka a to ze všeho nejhorší... oslavit své narozeniny! Ano, všechno skončí masakrem.
Nelítostný lovec lidí, Velkej šéf, profesionální drsoň a heavymetalový psychopat v jedné osobě se vrací! Člověk, který oddělal Boha, Santu Clause i Velikonočního králíčka, opět vyráží do akce. A jeho další supernáročný úkol bude... ochránit zábavní park.
Ne, vážně není rozumné dávat Lobovi cokoliv ochraňovat.
Kromě toho si Lobo bude muset odbýt jedno nepříjemné setkání na toaletách, zúčastnit se brutálních motorkářských závodů, vzít to taxíkem přes galaxii a nakonec provést to ze všeho nejhorší... oslavit své narozeniny!
Ano, všechno skončí masakrem.
Ale bude to sranda.
Tealevelek szárnyán
Megrendítő történet egy fiatal kínai nőről, aki ősei csodálatos teatermesztési hagyományában találja meg élete célját.
A világtól elzárt hegyi faluban Li-yan és családjának életét az évszakok váltakozása és a teatermesztés határozza meg. Az ősi rituálék világába zárt akha emberek generációk óta ugyanúgy élnek, míg nem váratlanul megjelenik a falu kapujában egy idegen férfi...
Az idegen érkezésének nyomán minden felbolydul, s semmi sem lehet már ugyanúgy, mint régen. Li-yan, aki egyike a közösség kevés tanult lányának, elkezdi elutasítani azokat a szokásokat, amelyek addigi életét formálták. Amikor pedig házasságon kívüli gyermeke születik, súlyos döntésre szánja rá magát: szembefordul az ősi hagyományokkal...
Vajon begyógyulhatnak-e fájó lelki sebeink, s átírhatjuk-e a tradíciók által ránk kényszerített szerepeket? A Tealevelek szárnyán gyönyörűen megírt történet gyökerekről, kultúrákról, gyászról és a láthatatlan, ám elszakíthatatlan érzelmi kötelékekről.
„– Különleges képességeid vannak – folytatja. – Nem úgy értem, hogy boszorkány vagy rókaszellem lennél. És sosem vonzódtál túlzottan a gyógyításhoz vagy a mágiához sem. Inkább íma Matára hasonlítasz, aki életet adott az akháknak, aki lerázta a béklyóit, és azt mondta: „Nem fogadom el a balszerencsémet”. Aki az éles elméje, jó szíve és kitartása révén minden akadályt legyőzött.”

The Penguin Book of Bengali Short Stories
A landmark new anthology of Bengali literature in English, including many previously untranslated stories 'A splendid guide to unmapped lands… [Sinha] is one of the best living translators at work bringing the Bengali classics into English… he writes with exceptional elegance and wit' Spectator The prose short story arrived in Bengal in the wake of British colonizers, and Bengali writers quickly made the form their own. By the twentieth century a profusion of literary magazines and journals meant they were being avidly read by millions. Writers responded to this hunger for words with a ferocious energy which reflected the turmoil of their times: these stories covered land wars, famine, the caste system, religious conflict, patriarchy, Partition and the liberation war that saw the emergence of the independent country of Bangladesh. Across these shifting geographical borders, writers also looked inward, evolving new literary styles and stretching the possibilities of social realism, political fiction and intimate domestic tales. A first in English, this anthology gathers together a century's worth of extraordinary stories. From a woman who eats fish in secret to the woes of an ageing local footballer, from the anxieties of a middle-class union rep to a lawyer who stumbles upon a philosopher's stone, this is a collection that celebrates making art of life, in all its difficulty and joy.

Over the years, and through the changing seasons, it has brought shelter, solace and joy. But now it's 1940 and Europe is in the midst of war. Everything is changing, and nothing will be the same again. The next three generations of Danes will live very different lives to their predecessors, at home and abroad. Yet they know they are forever tied to Woodspring. Love and fortunes may come and go, no one is untouched by loss... But, throughout all this, Woodspring remains a constant.

Son of Nobody
The past is never done with: always the song continues
Harlow Donne has devoted his life to the Classical world. When a chance comes up to study an obscure collection of papyrus fragments at Oxford University, he seizes it. Though it means leaving his daughter and fracturing marriage back home in Canada, this is the kind of career break he desperately needs.
In the depths of the Bodleian Library, Harlow discovers a lost account of the Trojan War, a glimpse into the founding of Western civilization itself. He names the epic poem The Psoad, after its protagonist, a Greek commoner identified as Psoas of Midea but known to all as 'son of nobody'.
As sole translator and interpreter of the Psoad, Harlow dedicates the poem and its footnotes to his daughter, Helen. Under his gaze, the text unlocks echoes of Ancient Greece into the present day, and a personal message to his beloved child appears. Despite the three-thousand-year gap between the two, a thread hasn't frayed: the universal song of homesickness and regret, of ambition, love and grief.
In this masterpiece of myth, history and domesticity, Son of Nobody explores how stories become facts, the price we pay to share them and how we live - then, now and always.

'Clever, funny, charmingly written, this tale of unexpected love and yes, dead bodies, will run away with your heart.

Permanence
This is the story of an affair. Clara and Francis are in love, but nobody knows it. For months they have been slipping away from their respective lives, sharing stolen afternoons in hotel rooms, their time together painfully sweet and all too short. Until one day they wake up in a bedroom neither of them recognises with no memory of how they got there.
They find themselves in a strange and unfamiliar city: a place where adulterers can live openly as couples, without fear of consequence, putting the theory of their love into practice. Here the sky is painted over the old town square in changeless, cloudless blue. Ripe fruits wait on the table each morning and the sunset comes down in a blaze of pink each night. And contact with the real world is impossible. As long as Clara and Francis are here, they only have each other.
How do you know when you've found true love? How much would you sacrifice to keep hold of it? And how long can you stay in paradise before the cracks start to show?
