Orange


A candid portrayal of first love and self-discovery, from the author of the 'instant queer classic', Isaac. Cornwall, 2018. In the quiet fishing village of Portscatho, sixteen-year-old Daniel and seventeen-year-old Jago form an unexpected connection - something neither of them can name. What unfolds is transformative, particularly for Daniel, who for the first time feels truly seen. East London, 2023. Daniel has rewritten himself: sharper, louder, queer in a way the city understands. But a visit from Jago stirs up a reckoning with his former life, forcing them both to question how much change their bond can withstand. Reminiscent of Édouard Louis and Douglas Stuart's writing, Orange examines how we reconcile our past selves with the people we become, those we bring with us and those we leave behind.

Kétszáz éves szerelem - Éldekorált kiadás


Szentirmai Róza családjában a bábamesterség anyáról lányára szálló tudomány – őt is szívesen hívják a falubeliek, ha gyermek érkezik a házhoz. De ismer gyógyírt a női test és lélek minden bajára, kezében van a csábítás és a testi örömök fokozására szolgáló csodaszerek titka, ahogy az összetört szívek balzsama is, férfinak, nőnek egyaránt. Az a szóbeszéd járja, hogy tudása nem e világi: felmenői között boszorkány is akadt. Egy napon Rózát furcsa, valóságosnak tűnő álomból ébresztik. Míg álmában máglyára vetették, a valóságban a háza ég le. Bár fiával sértetlenül megmenekülnek, hamuvá és porrá lett életükből semmi más nem marad, csak egy bordó, bőrkötéses könyv – egy hosszú évszázadokat átfogó napló, amely a semmiből került elő, benne egy üzenettel. Róza késztetést érez, hogy beleírjon egy kérdést a bordó könyvbe, és megdöbbentő módon válasz érkezik. Válasz – kétszáz évvel korábbról. Róza kíváncsian ered útnak, hogy megtudja, ki írhatta a sorokat. Miközben az árvíz után újjászülető Szeged utcáit járja a könyvvel a kezében, egyre többet tud meg egy olyan világról, amelynek már a nyomai is csak az emlékezetben élnek. A könyv sorai az egykori Boszorkányszigetre vezetik, ahol a fák és gyomok között meghallja a múlt suttogását, a talpa alatt érzi az egykori máglyák hamujának perzselő érintését. BAUER BARBARA regénye egy évszázadokon átívelő, mágikus szerelem története, amelyben párhuzamosan elevenedik meg a híres szegedi boszorkányperek sötét időszaka és a két világháború közötti Magyarország falusi valósága. A nagy kérdések – mit jelent nőnek lenni, mi kell a boldogsághoz, az igaz szerelemhez – talán minden korban ugyanazok. Egy azonban biztos: mindezekhez férfi kell, mégpedig az igazi!

Várólista és további felnőttmesék


Kevesen tudják olyan hitelesen megszólaltatni az érzelmeknek azt a sokszínű elegyét, amelyet nap mint nap átélünk, mint Rényi Ádám, a "félperces" novellák immár többkötetes mestere. Hiszen ne is tagadjuk: hol ábrándos vágyakozásba merülünk, amikor a vakvéletlen mellénk sodorja egy utazás közben titkos szerelmünket; hol megrökönyödünk, amikor kiderül, hogy idős barátnőnk nemzetközi összeesküvésnek tulajdonítja a késésünket a cukrászdából; hol kínzó kíváncsiságunk hajt bennünket, hogy meglessük az időnként rejtélyes módon felszívódó házastársunkat; hol elönt bennünket a soha be nem vallott sárga irigység, amikor egy közeli ismerős frissen elnyert díjához kell gratulálni; vagy épp a magányosság csalja ki a könnyünket, ha úgy alakul a karácsony, hogy egyedül sütögetjük a zserbót odahaza. S persze ezeken túl is számos húrt megpendítenek a kötet novellái, amelyek a groteszk futamoktól a lírai darabokon át a vitriolos társadalomkritikáig és a kacagtató jelenetekig úgy tartanak görbe tükröt a mai magyar mindennapok és úgy általában a mai ember elé, hogy közben cseppet sem bántóak, épp ellenkezőleg: az író egyfelől a tőle megszokott vérbeli humorral és sziporkázó mondatokkal szórakoztat, másfelől őszinte és szeretetteljes érzékenységgel formálja meg még leghóbortosabb hőseit is. Cserébe pedig mi, olvasók sem tudjuk nem szívből szeretni ezeket a mélyen emberi történeteket.
