Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie
Take one precocious eleven-year-old girl called Flavia. Add an ancient country house somewhere in England in 1950. Then sprinkle with murder, mystery and dark family secrets...For very nearly eleven-year-old Flavia de Luce, the discovery of a dead snipe on the doorstep of Buckshaw, the crumbling de Luce country seat, was a marvellous mystery - especially since this particular snipe had a rather rare stamp neatly impaled on its beak. Even more astonishing was the effect of the dead bird on her stamp-collector father, who appeared to be genuinely frightened. Soon Flavia discovers something even more shocking in the cucumber patch, and it's clear that the snipe was a bird of very ill omen indeed. As the police descend on Buckshaw, Flavia decides it is up to her to piece together the clues and solve the puzzle. Who was the man she heard her father arguing with? What was the snipe doing in England at all? Who or what is the Ulster Avenger? And, most peculiar of all, who took a slice of Mrs Mullet's unspeakable custard pie that had been cooling by the window...?
The Suspect
Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life - a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life.
Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind. Ultimately, he will risk everything to unmask the killer and save his family.
A History Of The World In 10 1/2 Chapters
Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2011
Beginning with an unlikely stowaway's account of life on board Noah's Ark, A History of the World in 101/2 Chapters presents a surprising and subversive fictional-history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his Voyage are not forgotten: they are revisited in on other centuries and other climes - by a Victorian spinster mourning her father, by an American astronaut on an obsessive personal mission. We journey to the Titanic, to the Amazon, to the raft of the Medusa, and to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre case is about to begin...
This is no ordinary history, but something stranger; a challenge and a delight for the reader's imagination. Ambitious yet accessible, witty and playfully serious, this is the work of a brilliant novelist.
Winner Stands Alone
The Winner Stands Alone is the enthralling new novel by the incomparable Paulo Coelho. The story is set during the Cannes International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman. His wife Ewa left him two years ago and Igor has never really come to terms with their break up, especially as Ewa is now remarried to a famous fashion designer, Hamid Hussein. Igor is insanely jealous and when Ewa left him he told her that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise! Igor has followed Ewa and her new husband to Cannes and his plan is to cause as much violence and destruction as possible until Ewa realises how much he loves her and comes back to him. Ewa loved Igor but she was absolutely terrified of him. She knows that Igor has killed people in the past when he was a soldier, but she also knows a dark secret - that he once cold bloodedly murdered a beggar who was bothering them in a restaurant. Igor is clearly unhinged and he will stop at nothing to regain her love and so he goes on a ruthless killing spree until he tracks down Ewa! The star-studded film festival acts as a backdrop to Igor's maniacal murdering spree and we are ntroduced to various characters along the way, all of whom are desperately trying to get their big break in the shallow world of show business; Gabriela a young and naive actress who is being exploited by her agent and Jasmine a troubled young Rwandan refugee working as a model. The Winner Stands Alone is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and money obsessed culture.
The Rose that Grew from Concrete
A stunning collection of poems from one of the most revered rap artists in the world, Tupac Shakur, now the subject of the major motion picture, All Eyez On Me.
His talent was unbounded, a raw force that commanded attention and respect.
His death was tragic - a violent homage to the power of his voice.
His legacy is indomitable - remaining vibrant and alive.
Here now, are Tupac Shukar's most honest and intimate thoughts conveyed through the pure art of poetry - a mirror into his enigmatic life and its many contradictions.
Written in his own hand at the age of nineteen, they embrace his spirit, his energy and his ultimate message of hope. These poems, which Tupac wrote from the heart, will encourage people to take the first steps necessary to see his literary importance, as well as have us acknowledge the life struggles of black men.
There is no better way to get inside the mind of an artist than to examine his artistic expressions: sharing his sensitivity, insight, revolutionary mind, fears, passions, and sense of humour, Tupac's stature and recognition as a rapper is clear and unequivocal. THE ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE now also confirms his place amongst the best writers and poets of his generation.

Az ősi Iszlám
Akárcsak száz évvel ezelőtt, az iszlám világ, amely képzeletünkben a vakító fényben ragyogó roppant sivatagok, mecsetek és paloták színkavalkádját, a bazárok illatfelhőjét idézi - ma is képes elcsábítani a nyugatról érkezett utazókat. Akik ide látoga
tnak, ma is megigézve hallgatják a koránolvasók vagy az imára hívó müezzin kántálását, és elbűvölik őket Az ezeregy éjszaka meséinek csodálatos történetei. Ez a könyv az iszlám civilizáció aranykorának történelmét meséli el azzal a nem titkolt céllal
, hogy felfedje az olvasó előtt a középkori iszlám világának báját és szépségét.
Az iszlám a kereszténység és a judaizmus mellett a harmadik nagy egyistenhívő vallás, egyben rendkívüli történelmi és kulturális jelenség. Az Arab-félszigeten, Mohamed p
róféta szülőhelyén szökkent szárba, és hatalmas területeket járt be a világon. Ez a könyv azért készült, hogy bemutassa ennek a civilizációnak a krónikáját egészen a kezdetektől, a beduin társadalmak korától, ami az iszlám bölcsője, s aminek öröksége
, a törzsi társadalmi struktúra jellegzetességei ma is élnek és felismerhetők. Az arabok a VII. században kiözönlöttek a végtelen sivatagból, megdöntötték a kor két nagy politikai és katonai hatalmát, a Bizánci Birodalmat és a mezopotámiai Szászánida
Birodalmat, a két szemet, ami Isten megbízásából fénybe borította a világotÓ. A meghódított területeken megalapították először az Omajjád Kalifátust, majd az Abbászida Kalifátust. Ez utóbbi tekinthető az iszlám civilizáció aranykorának, ebben a korb
an borult virágba az iszlám kultúra, többek között a filozófia, a tudomány és az irodalom. Az abbászida kalifák felvilágosult uralkodók voltak, akik igyekeztek elősegíteni a hatalmas birodalmukban élő heterogén etnikai elemek integrálódását az ummába
, vagyis az iszlám közösségbe. Az Abbászida Kalifátus akkor bukott meg, amikor 1258-ban a mongolok elérték a birodalmi székhelyet, Bagdadot, habár a hatalmát a független kalifátusok és szultanátusok megalakulása már korábban aláásta, mivel a függetle
nedési folyamatok szétforgácsolták az egységes birodalom erejét és tekintélyét.
A könyv utolsó fejezete a klasszikus iszlám kultúra legfontosabb területeit veszi sorra, amelyek nélkül nem érthetjük meg a jelenkori iszlámot, ezt az állandó mozgásban l
évő jelenséget, amivel legfőbb ideje lenne kiegyeznünk.

The Scarlet Letter
HarperCollins is pround to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Ah, but let her cover the mark as she will, the pang of it will be always in her heart.' A tale of sin, punishment and atonement, The Scarlet Letter exposes the moral rigidity of a 17th-Century Puritan New England community when faced with the illegitimate child of a young mother. Regarded as the first real heroine of American fiction, it is Hester Prynne's strength of character that resonates with the reader when her harsh sentence is cast. It is in her refusal to reveal the identity of the father in the face of her accusers that Hawthorne champions his heroine and berates the weakness of Society for attacking the innocent.
