A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY DR DIETER FUCHS AND JOSEPH O'CONNOR
Against the backdrop of nineteenth century Dublin, a boy becomes a man: his mind testing its powers, obsessions taking hold and loosening again, the bonds of family, tradition, nation and religion transforming from supports into shackles; until the young man devotes himself to the celebration of beauty, and reaches for independence and the life of an artist.
The Age of Innocence
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LIONEL SHRIVER
Newland Archer and May Welland are the perfect couple. He is a wealthy young lawyer and she is a lovely and sweet-natured girl. All seems set for success until the arrival of May's unconventional cousin Ellen Olenska, who returns from Europe without her husband and proceeds to shake up polite New York society. To Newland, she is a breath of fresh air and a free spirit, but the bond that develops between them throws his values into confusion and threatens his relationship with May.
The Vintage Classics edition of The Age of Innocence is published to tie-in with the publication of the Vintage paperback of Hermione Lee's celebrated biography of Edith Wharton
A politika forgatagában
"A "politika" szót kötetünk címében akár idézőjelbe is tehetnénk. Mert hát összesen két olyan asszony életpályája kerül elő, akik a szó szoros értelmében vett "politikusok" voltak: a keresztényszocialista Slachta Margit, illetve a szociáldemokrata Kéthly Anna - mindketten országgyűlési képviselők, a maguk idejében nőként egyetlenek a törvényhozásban.
Ám a politika, a történelmi helyzet forgandósága nagyon sok nőnek, időnként tömegeiknek az életét is befolyásolta. Vagy úgy, hogy egyes hölgyek bizonyos eszmék szolgálatába szegődtek. Vagy úgy, hogy szenvedő alanyai voltak bizonyos rendszereknek, esetleg az áldozatokat próbálták-akarták segíteni.
Nem számolunk be újdonságról, ha azt mondjuk: borzasztó ez a 20. század - nekünk, magyaroknak pedig különösen! Sok apró részletből, mozaikszerűen tevődik össze ennek a 100 évnek (abból is főleg az első 60-nak) a története. Feloldásul anekdotákkal, érdekes, vagy kevésbé ismert történetekkel, különös tekintettel az egyes korszakokra, az életmód változásaira.
Lássuk tehát a 20. századot - mindenekelőtt a nők szemszögéből, az ő szempontjaikat figyelembe véve!" (a Kiadó)

What I Talk about When I Talk about Running
In 1982, having sold his jazz bar to devote himself to writing, Murakami began running to keep fit. A year later, he'd completed a solo course from Athens to Marathon, and now, after dozens of such races, not to mention triathlons and a slew of critically acclaimed books, he reflects upon the influence the sport has had on his life and on his writing. Equal parts travelogue, training log, and reminiscence, this revealing memoir covers his four-month preparation for the 2005 New York City Marathon and settings ranging from Tokyo's Jingu Gaien gardens, where he once shared the course with an Olympian, to the Charles River in Boston among young women who outpace him. Through this marvellous lens of sport emerges a cornucopia of memories and insights: the eureka moment when he decided to become a writer, his greatest triumphs and disappointments, his passion for vintage LPs, and the experience, after fifty, of seeing his race times improve and then fall back. By turns funny and sobering, playful and philosophical.

The Selection - A Párválasztó
Harmincöt lány. Egy korona. Egy lehetőség, ami az életben csak egyszer adódik.
A "Párválasztó"-ban részt vevő harmincöt lány számára ez életük legnagyobb esélye. Egy lehetőség arra, hogy kiszabaduljanak abból az életből, amibe beleszülettek. Hogy belépjenek egy világba, amiben csillogó ruhákat és felbecsülhetetlen értékű ékszereket hordanak. Hogy palotában lakjanak és a csodás Maxon herceg szívéért vetekedjenek egymással.
America Singer számára azonban kész rémálom Kiválasztottnak lenni. Azt jelenti ugyanis, hogy hátat kell fordítania titkos szerelmesének, Aspennek, aki egy alsóbbrendű kasztba tartozik. El kell hagynia az otthonát, hogy beszálljon az ádáz közdelembe egy koronáért, amire nem is vágyik. Egy palotában kell élnie, amit a lázadók erőszakos támadásai fenyegetnek állandóan.
Aztán America megismeri Maxon herceget. Lassan megkérdőjelezi addigi terveit, és rádöbben arra, hogy az élet, amiről mindig is álmodott, talán köszönő viszonyban sincs a jövővel, amit korábban még csak el sem képzelt volna.

The Handmaid's Tale
The Republic of Gilead offers Offred only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.
Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America gives full rein to Margaret Atwood's devastating irony, wit and astute perception.
