Az utolsó szamuráj
A tizenegy éves Ludo apát keres. Édesanyja, az őt szerény körülmények között egyedül nevelő Sibylla négyéves kora óta tanítja olvasni görögül, arabul, japánul, héberül. Hűvösebb időben ők ketten a londoni metró Circle Line vonalán utazgatnak, hogy ne kelljen otthon fűteni; és hogy elüsse az időt, a fiú Homéroszt olvas eredetiben. Az utasok a csodájára járnak - Talán zseni? Igazi csodagyerek? Vagy a gyermekbántalmazás egy rafinált módjának áldozata? Este, miután hazaérnek a metrózásból, rendszerint elindítják videón A hét szamurájt - Sibylla nagy rajongója a filmnek, és feltett szán déka, hogy egy helyett hét férfi példaképet ad fiának. Noha legtitkosabb gondolataiba is beavatja, épp csak egyvalamit nem hajlandó elárulni Ludónak: az igazi apja nevét. Ludo ezért titkos küldetésre indul London utcáin, hogy megtalálja az utolsó szamurájt - az apát, akit sohasem ismert.
The Idiot
Dostoyevsky's great novel of suffering and sickness, innocence and greed, now in Penguin Clothbound Classics
Returning to St Petersburg from a Swiss sanatorium, the gentle and naive epileptic Prince Myshkin - the titular 'idiot' - pays a visit to his distant relative General Yepanchin and proceeds to charm the General, his wife, and his three daughters. But his life is thrown into turmoil when he chances on a photograph of the beautiful Nastasya Filippovna. Utterly infatuated with her, he soon finds himself caught up in a love triangle and drawn into a web of blackmail, betrayal, and finally, murder. Inspired by an image of Christ's suffering, Dostoyevsky sought to portray in Prince Myshkin the purity of a 'truly beautiful soul' and explore the perils that innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world.
David McDuff's translation brilliantly captures the novel's idiosyncratic and dream-like language and the nervous, elliptic flow of the narrative. This edition also contains an introduction by William Mills Todd III, which is a fascinating examination of the pressures on Dostoyevsky as he wrote the story of his Christ-like hero.
If you enjoyed The Idiot, you might like Anton Chekhov's Ward No. 6 and Other Stories, also available in Penguin Classics.

Furysong - The Aurelian Cycle 3
Annie and Lee once dreamed of rebuilding their city, but as war rages on two fronts, they must now fight to save it or watch it crumble into ash.
In New Pythos, Griff stands trial for treason. His fate seems sealed, but not everyone wants to see him fall. Allies on both sides are scheming to save him, though their plans could cost them dearly.
Back in Callipolis, Annie faces her greatest challenge yet: uniting a divided city against a powerful enemy. With famine spreading and the shadow of the triarchy looming, she must prove she's the leader her people need - before it's too late.
For Lee, revolution is no longer just about dragons and fire. He faces a battle of wits with those who see Callipolis's struggle as an opportunity to seize power. To protect the city, and the people he loves, he'll have to balance his ideals with the hard realities of war.
As enemies close in from every side, Annie and Lee will have to make impossible choices. Will they save their city, even if it means losing each other? Or will the flames of rebellion destroy everything they've fought to protect?
An electrifying conclusion to the trilogy, this final chapter is a story of hope, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bonds that define us - even in the face of fire.
A Single Thread of Moonlight (New edition)
With shades of Pride and Prejudice and The Count of Monte Cristo, Laura Wood has penned a Cinderella story for the Bridgerton generation. A companion novel to Laura's Agency for Scandal series.
Iris Grey's childhood was idyllic... until her father remarried. Iris's new stepmother and two stepsisters were cold-hearted schemers, and when her father dies in mysterious circumstances, Iris knows that something is wrong. Far too spirited to be forced into a life of servitude, she runs away to London.
When she crosses paths with handsome, clever and cold Nicholas Wynter, Iris realises that this is her moment for revenge. Together they plot the downfall of their enemies - but the pair begin to find they have more in common than a desire for justice.
Will their spark burn bright or will it be extinguished in the flames of their ambition?
A fabulously fresh retelling of Cinderella with a heroine who isn't afraid to take her destiny into her own hands
Perfect for fans of Jane Austen
Laura Wood is the author of A Sky Painted Gold and Under a Dancing Star

Clive Cussler’s Ghost Soldier
JUAN CABRILLO AND THE OREGON CREW HAVE FINALLY MET THEIR MATCH IN THIS EXPLOSIVE THRILL-RIDE FROM THE GRAND MASTER OF ADVENTURE, CLIVE CUSSLER
A deadly war game. An adversary as hard to find as he is to kill. Weapons so sophisticated, none have seen the like before.
When African jihadis attack a Nigerian regiment using American weapons, Cabrillo and the Oregon crew are on the case, investigating from Afghanistan to Kuala Lumpur to track a mysterious arms dealer - a genius, or perhaps a devil - known only as the Vendor.
Cabrillo goes undercover to find the Vendor's base, but his adversary isn't just an arms smuggler.
He's an arms maker, and Cabrillo just walked into a lethal military game alongside the most dangerous mercenaries in the world, designed to test the Vendor's cutting-edge AI arsenal.
And yet, surviving an arena full of flame-throwing robots isn't even his biggest problem.
The Vendor has an army of high-speed drones headed for a pivotal military site, and if the Oregon crew can't stop them from releasing a deadly neurotoxin, the entire globe will erupt in conflict.

Introducing Prue and Milo in the brand new heart-warming and spicy strangers-to-lovers romcom and the start of a new duet from bestselling TikTok author Hannah Bonam-Young!
Prudence Welch has always valued her introverted lifestyle in the small town of Baysville, Ontario. She is content with working at her father's gas station, writing her beloved poetry, and caring for her mother who has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers. Despite her father's continuous remarks that she should venture out of the town to have a more fulfilling life, Prue just can't leave it behind.
Milo Kablukov is a free spirit, who has had his fair share of worldwide adventures and wild nights. But when he is called by his brother for an urgent family matter in Baysville, he finds that he just might have to stay put a while.
After an intriguing encounter with Prue, Milo sets his sights on getting to know her, but he finds that a friendship with Prue may be different to what he had been expecting...
Ada: or Ardor
This story of a man's lifelong entanglement with his sister is not only a love story; it manages also to be a fairy tale, an epic, a philosophical treatise on the nature of time, a parody of the history of the novel, and an erotic catalogue. It concludes with an ingenious appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom. Ada, published just after Nabokov's seventieth birthday, is the supreme work of a virtuosic imagination at white heat.
Nabokov is the most allusive and linguistically playful writer in English since Joyce, and like Pale Fire and Lolita, this novel abounds in delightful minor parodies and pastiches, countless multilingual puns and literary jokes.
Ada is at its core a love story, the stuff that's sold reams of pop music, and piles of books. Van, fourteen, falls in love with twelve-year-old Ada during a summer holiday. This premise is possibly the only aspect of Ada common to numerous other novels. Van, an unreliable narrator if there ever was one, tells the story, while the narrative shuttles seamlessly from a first person to a third person - trust Nabokov the Enchanter to achieve that trick.

Haunted
We all know the same ghosts: it's simply a question of how doggedly they haunt us.
Part-chilling tale, part-memoir, part-cultural exploration, Haunted: Ghost Stories and Their Afterlives takes us through some of the most chilling and enduring ghost stories, and discusses what they reveal about the listener, the teller and the times we live in.
E. Jay Gilbert has been collecting tales of the supernatural from her local area (a small village outside of Newcastle) for years and what surprised her most is how universal those are: not only in terms of recurring spectres that haunt us the world over (I'm looking at you, White Ladies), but also how similar our experience of ghost-telling is, wherever we grew up. The result is a book which explores more widely the ghosts of the British Isles and how they have endured and changed through the ages: how they reflect the communities in which they originate, and how they are similar to and different from similar stories from across the world.
Haunted doesn't just thrill with the tales of the inexplicable, but also asks why are we so fascinated by ghost stories and what do they tell us about the community and people who cultivate them. Why are some tropes universal, while others are very much unique to the place they haunt? Do we actually care about the identity of the ghost? Or are we more concerned about how the alleged sighting made us feel?
Aimed at both believers and sceptics, it's not only for those who are looking to be frightened a little, but also for those interested in the psychology and history of the long tradition of supernatural storytelling.
Absolutely irresistible, a fascinating account of the stories we tell ourselves and the ghosts we keep close - Amanda Mason
A delightfully personal adventure into the paranormal worlds of these isles - seeking all sorts of spectres from banshee to black dogs. - Dr James Canton
Every Step She Takes
Thirty-five-year-old Seattleite Sadie Wells needs an escape. She’s desperate to escape her monotonous routines, the family business that has consumed her entire life, and the unexpected gay panic that has her questioning everything she thought she knew about herself. So when her injured sister offers Sadie her place on a tour along Portugal’s Camino de Santiago, she decides this is the perfect chance to get away from it all.
After three glasses of wine on the plane and some turbulence convince Sadie she won’t even survive the flight, she confesses all her secrets to her seatmate, Mal. The problem: the plane doesn’t crash, and it turns out Mal is on her Camino tour. Worst of all, Sadie learns that she is on a tour specifically for queer women, and that her two-hundred-mile trek will be a journey of self-discovery, whether she wants it to be or not.
Fascinated by the woman who drunkenly came out to her on the plane, Mal offers to help Sadie relive the queer adolescence she missed out on as they walk the Camino. As Sadie develops her newfound confidence, Mal grapples with a complicated loss and unexpected inheritance. But as their relationship blurs the lines between reality and practice, they both must decide if they will forever part at the end of the tour or chart a new course together.
