Air
FROM THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER NOMINATED AUTHOR OF EUROTRASH''A master of the well-formed sentence'' DANIEL KEHLMANN''Christian Kracht is the great German-language writer of his generation'' JOSHUA COHEN''Read him for the experience of reading him. Read him and wonder'' NELL ZINKTwo men venture through strange landscapes towards unknowable destinations. Paul, a feted designer, wanders the echoing corridors of a server farm in Norway - before, in a sudden blackout, he seems to vanish. In another time and space, a wounded stranger wakes in a forest, watched over by a young girl who helps him flee to an icebound settlement where perhaps he will find safety.Inventive, enigmatic and chromatically resonant, Air is the seductively disorienting new novel from one of the most significant European writers working today. Heir to the ingenious fictions of Ursula K. Le Guin or Jorge Luis Borges, resistant to single interpretation, it unfolds as a haunting journey through a layered universe that may be a dream, the afterlife or reality''s inverted twin.''Air is as enigmatic as its title'' TLS''A splendidly wrong-footing blend of sci-fi and historical fiction ... delivering a thunderbolt twist'' DAILY MAILTranslated from German by Daniel Bowles

No Room at the Morgue
'Manchette was Le Homme...rediscover him this very instant' - James EllroyMeet Eugene Tarpon: ex-cop, ex-idealist, man in free fall.

In bursts the wild-eyed and bloodstained Memphis Charles, whose roommate has been brutally murdered. And she wants no one but Tarpon on the case. As the bodies mount, Tarpon is dragged into a Parisian underworld of politics, sleaze, and paranoia – with nothing to guide him but instinct, stubbornness, and a battered sense of justice. With No Room at the Morgue, Manchette rewrote the American hardboiled detective novel into a bleak, boozy, and brilliantly French bruising meditation on guilt, truth, and the art of going down swinging. PRAISE FOR JEAN-PATRICK MANCHETTE'A comedic genius... I read and reread him, stunned, appalled, and laughing out loud' - Rachel Kushner'Manchette is one of the greatest writers since Dashiell Hammett, his only true son and heir' - David Peace'Manchette is Camus on overdrive...

I Want Everything
‘A delightful literary puzzle, posed to the reader in vibrant and clear-cut prose... It's rare for a writer to be this good both at crafting a sentence and at making you want to read the next one.’ Naoise Dolan, author of Exciting Times and The Happy Couple ‘Composed with stylistic brilliance and structural ingenuity, I Want Everything is that rare thing, a great contemporary novel... Dominic Amerena is a fantastic writer. (Seriously.)' Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts and No Judgement You all know this, of course, but years and years ago, acclaimed Australian novelist Brenda Shales went missing. After two explosive, controversial books that would shape the literary canon of the country for decades to come — and that terrible legal scandal about plagiarism, of course — she was simply gone. That was, right up until a frustrated young writer sees an elderly woman swimming at his local pool in Melbourne. She looks familiar…very familiar in fact. No. It couldn’t be. Stunned, he returns home to confirm the impossible truth; it’s Brenda Shales, now in her old age and stranded in a retirement home. He’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of literary stardom through a tell-all biography. But when he finds her, a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life. From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.

Rival Modernities
What do Buffalo Bill and Gustave Eiffel have in common? These celebrities are both part of Venita Datta's analysis of competing notions of modernity and French-American relations at the turn of the twentieth century. Fin-de-siècle France saw itself as the premier modern country. A pioneer in the aviation and cinema industries, its capital Paris was home to the cultural avant-garde. Nonetheless, the French harbored ambivalent feelings toward modernity and expressed their critiques of a certain type of modernity by denigrating it as "American." To understand this ambivalence, Datta effectively contrasts four pairs of exemplary French and American figures: inventor-entrepreneurs Gustave Eiffel and Thomas Edison, reporters Nellie Bly and Gaston Leroux, celebrity politicians Georges Boulanger and Theodore Roosevelt, and adventurers Buffalo Bill and the Marquis de Morès. Through an examination of the differences in French perceptions of these famous pairs, Datta illustrates that they highlight competing values rooted in national identity, and reflect each nation's struggles with democracy. Filled with fascinating characters and detail, Datta's book illuminates both the rivalries between France and the United States and their deep connections at an important yet understudied moment in history. The legacy of these complex Franco-American cultural relations is profoundly relevant to the challenges contemporary democracies face today.

The way she describes everything hits every sense and builds an internal excitement if not slight trepidation to make this trip with her. I love the way the scientific explanations begin each chapter and allow a deeper understanding of how the amazon is deeply part of who we are." Isabella Blake-Thomas (Actress, Bee: wild ambassador)“In The Spirit of the Rainforest, Indigenous wisdom and scientific curiosity come together to show us how to reconnect with the natural world in holistic, meaningful ways.” – Dr. Jessica Hernandez“a remarkable storyteller, which she showcases in her phenomenal debut filled with traditional wisdom, scientific explorations and transformational connections.” – MS magazine “The Spirit of the Rainforest sweeps you into an unforgettable journey where an explorer’s insatiable curiosity becomes a bridge between Indigenous wisdom and scientific discovery. With luminous storytelling, it reveals how even the rainforest’s tiniest creatures can hold the keys to understanding and protecting our living planet. It’s a pulse-quickening ride that will leave you awed by nature’s brilliance and hungry to protect it." – Ariel WaldmanBefore you step into the jungle, there are a few things you need to know... Join scientist Dr Rosa Vasquez Espinoza as she uncovers one of the most unexplored regions on the planet. Dr Rosa is no stranger to the Amazon. Growing up with the rainforest as her back garden, she learnt the lessons of the rainforest from her grandmother, a native healer in natural medicine. She went on to pursue a classical education in science, gaining a PhD in the US, but has always been pulled back to the heart of the Amazon. As a leading biologist in her field, Rosa continues to explore the region through a unique blend of scientific inquiry and ancient insight. In this debut, you'll learn about Dr Rosa's journeys in the Amazon: her treacherous encounters with a boiling river, her conservation work with stingless bees, her experience of taking ayahuasca as a natural psychedelic - and all the amazing biodiversity of the rainforest. At the heart of Rosa's expedition is her passion to combine science with the indigenous knowledge of the Amazon. She shares her experience of learning from the indigenous communities that she visits, and shows what they have to teach us - stretching beyond the realm scientific knowledge. Here Rosa learns the most important lessons in how to reconnect to the natural world - and, in turn, will teach us to do the same. In this book, Rosa celebrates the richness of Amazonian culture, the wonders of biodiversity, and the enduring spiritual connections between humanity and the natural world.

Bytes and Bullets
'An obligatory read for anyone who wants to understand the new forces shaping the future.' Anne Applebaum, Pulitzer-prize winning, New York Times bestselling author of Autocracy, Inc. and Twilight of Democracy. 'Couldn't be more timely. Mixes story-telling and analysis to illuminate the new technological arms race.' Peter Pomerantsev author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible When it comes to global dominance, military technology has always been a major geopolitical driver. For decades, the West set the rules on innovation using soft power and government funding to develop its own exclusive cutting-edge defensive capabilities. But in the digital era, the breakthroughs - be it AI systems and autonomous drones, satellite internet or advanced semiconductors - are coming from private companies, not government labs. In Bytes and Bullets, Steve Feldstein explains how technology is transforming geopolitics, upending the ways that countries compete, and how they wage war. Through captivating stories and original field research, he shows how the West's dominance is being undercut at every turn by a combination of commercialization, authoritarian convergence led by China and Russia, and the emergence of new regional powers hungry for more influence. A new tech cold war is coming into focus fast and restrictions and sanctions are no longer enough to maintain international stability. Feldstein reports from its front line in this rich and at times alarming account of this pivotal moment in history, making an urgent call for the West to act now, or risk losing its international standing forever.
Churchill’s Queen
A ground-breaking and revelatory exploration of the remarkable friendship between Queen Elizabeth II and Winston Churchill.In February 1952, when the young Elizabeth returned to London after her sudden accession to the throne, Churchill was first to greet her as she stepped off the aircraft. The image was a striking one – an elderly statesman in the twilight of his career paying homage to a young sovereign just embarking on what would become the longest reign in the history of the British monarchy. He already had a lifetime of experience to share, while she had a lifetime of service still to come.Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II rank alongside the most iconic historical figures of all time. They defined the ages in which they lived, and exerted enormous influence on the lives of millions around the globe. But even more extraordinary than their individual achievements is the unique friendship that developed between them, with Churchill helping the fledgling queen to shape the start of her reign, and Elizabeth in turn helping him to retire with dignity and grace, cementing his legacy at the end of his career.Using previously unpublished material from government files and private archives, Churchill’s Queen sheds new light on this historic partnership, revealing how it grew despite challenges and setbacks – and ultimately shaped the monarchy and the nation.

The Rules of Dating a Younger Man - Hogyan randizzunk egy fiatalabb pasival? (Hogyan randizzunk? 4.)
Az első és legfontosabb szabály, amikor egy idősebb nőt szemelsz ki magadnak: ne ess szerelembe!
A barátaim közül én voltam az utolsó, aki még nem talált rá az „igazira”. A srácok folyton unszoltak, hogy igyekezzek, és állapodjak meg végre, én azonban nem siettem sehová. Egészen addig, amíg meg nem ismerkedtem valakivel, aki után megérte loholni. Alex egyike volt azoknak az önkénteseknek, akik a Ryan Házaknál dolgoztak – egy alapítványnál, amit azért hoztam létre, hogy a kórházak közelében szállásokat építhessünk a rászorulóknak.
Nem is sejtettem, hogy Alex ugyanaz az ember, akivel a projekt útnak indítása előtt haragos e-mail-váltásba bonyolódtam, akkor ugyanis még azt hittem, hogy egy férfival van dolgom.
Nem is állhattam volna távolabb az igazságtól, hiszen Alex egy szőke bombázó, aki abban a pillanatban levett a lábamról, amint megpillantottam. A köztünk szikrázó kémia mindent felemésztő volt, Alex pedig egykettőre rabul ejtette a szívem. Sajnálatos módon a fejébe vette, hogy túl fiatal vagyok hozzá. Gyűlöltem, hogy erre hivatkozott, mivel a kor csak egy szám. Ha ez nem lett volna elég, a tekintete nem éppen ugyanazt tükrözte, mint a szavak, amik elhagyták a száját – úgy nézett rám, mint akinek nagyon is tetszik, amit lát. Tűkön ülve vártam a hétvégéket, amikor Alex és én napközben vállt vállnak vetve dolgoztunk, esténként pedig bensőséges hangulatban telepedtünk le a vacsoraasztalhoz.
Végül a maga köré húzott falakon lassan megjelentek az első repedések. Csakhogy aztán az élet olyan váratlan akadályt gördített elénk, amin még én magam is kételkedtem, hogy képesek leszünk felülkerekedni. Ha egy pillanatig is az hittem, hogy a köztünk lévő korkülönbség fogja a legnagyobb gubancot okozni, hát tévedtem.
„Letehetetlen. A könyv minden pillanatát imádtam!” – Karie, amazon.com
Engedd, hogy a kémia döntsön helyetted!
Szereted az érzéki, de tartalmas könyveket? Vidd haza nyugodtan, tetszeni fog!
Fiatal nőknek, felső korhatár nélkül!

Adelheid Brunner does not speak. She writes and draws instead and her ambition is to own one thousand matchboxes. Her grandmother cannot make sense of this, but Adelheid will stop at nothing to achieve her dream. She makes herself invisible, hiding in cupboards with her pet rat, Franz Joseph, listening in on conversations she can't fully comprehend.
Then she meets Dr Asperger, a man who lets children play all day and who recognises the importance of matchboxes. He invites Adelheid to come and live at the Vienna paediatric clinic, where she and other children like herself will live under observation.
But the date is 1938 and the place is Vienna - a city of political instability, a place of increasing fear and violence. When the Nazis march into the city, a new world is created and difficult choices must be made.
Why are the clinic's children disappearing, and where do they go? Adelheid starts to suspect that some of Dr Asperger's games are played for the highest stakes. In order to survive, she must play a game whose rules she cannot yet understand.
