A Sudden Flicker of Light
From cinema's most distinguished and 'The best writer on film in our time' (Michael Ondaatje) comes a masterful assessment of the whole sweep of movie history
'The movies traded on the liberation of secret desires-drive that car as fast as you can; turn your humble abode into a palace; conquer all the mean spirits in the world; be as free and winsome as the Tramp yet as rich as Charlie … Every lowlife can be a Corleone.'
Every flicker of light has its shadow. In this masterful reassessment of the whole arc of movie history, David Thomson, film's wisest and most penetrating critic, shows us how cinema has entranced and transported us, but also profoundly changed us.
From the earliest days of the first picture shows to the screens of today, Thomson glories in the great movies. Sharp, arresting readings of films from Metropolis to Rear Window, The Godfather to Anora can be found in these pages. Yet there is unease, too, at how cinema suckered us into a fantasy neverland that only looks like life. Hungry for spectacle and happy endings, submitting to voyeurism and villainy, we have let films change the way we experience reality; a habit of passivity that may have even betrayed our culture and our politics.
As Thomson says, 'This is our history, and our show.' The result of a lifetime of immersion and reflection, this book is a reckoning and a testament from a writer who sees like no other.

'Lingers long after the last page' REBECCA ROSS, Sunday Times bestselling author of DIVINE RIVALS
THE DARK AND DELICIOUS CONCLUSION TO THE BOOKTOK SMASH HIT!
****
Leucosia has gained a new queen... and a new monster.
King Nemea is dead by Imogen's own hand, leaving Eusia with one less devoted servant-but the deity's strength has only grown. Now, she can access Imogen's power freely, and what's worse, Imogen's first taste of Eusia's grotesque magic has left her hungry for more.
Meanwhile, Theodore's wedding to Halla is imminent, and Imogen plans to steal his bride and use her to get to the blighted island where Eusia's body resides. But the journey proves more difficult and the waters more treacherous than she could have imagined, tempting Imogen to descend into her magic's darkness. As she fights to balance her feelings for the handsome king with her mission, and draws nearer to severing her bond with Eusia, Imogen realizes that ending Eusia might cost her more than she had ever planned on giving

The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance
BEHIND EVERY HERO, THERE'S A HISTORIANAn ambitious young scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer's inn – only to uncover a centuries-old secret in this heart-warming and poignant fantasy. Mount Vengeance is legendary, a monumental climb with a dragon at its peak. For most, it’s an adventure, or a quest to prove themselves worthy of fame and glory. For Ainsworth, it’s perfect thesis material. Ainsworth Gladsly, ambitious young scholar, research fellow and up-and-coming historian is finally ready to make his mark on the world. When his supervisor learns of a rustic inn at the foot of the legendary Mount Vengeance, she sends him to be the first to document the exploits of the bold adventurers who face the perils of the mountain – and the dragon said to inhabit it. But the inn is far from the sophisticated city life he’s grown to love, and even as he grudgingly warms to its rustic charm – and its lovely innkeeper, Honey – the mystery of the mountain refuses to reveal itself. Worse, Ainsworth can’t find evidence that anyone has ever undertaken the climb – every adventurer comes to the inn, stays for a single night, and then returns home. And with Ainsworth’s reputation as an academic on the line, it’s a mystery he can’t allow to remain unsolved – even if he has to push the adventurers up the mountain himself.
Red Book Volume 1

Meng Zhaoguo, a logger with the Red Flag Logging Commune, witnesses a glowing white object crash into the Phoenix Mountain near the Russian border. Four children in the Russian city of Voronezh witness a red egg-shaped UFO descend and a group of seemingly extraterrestrial beings disembark. Flights are immediately diverted into and out of Xiaoshan Airport in China as passengers and crew aboard multiple planes report flashes of otherworldly light from four unidentified objects. How are all the cover-ups by the Chinese and Russian governments over UFO sightings related? James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming follow up their acclaimed work on Blue Book with an all-new volume of ''true'' tales capturing the strange world of alien encounters-this time focusing on the uncanny extraterrestrial stories of Russia and China.

Overshoot
A devastating critique of the forces propelling us beyond critical temperature limits, by the bestselling author of How to Blow Up a Pipeline
Žirinka a Zebrička hľadajú riešenia
Kniha o Žirinke, Zebričke a ich kamarátoch prináša príbehy o hľadaní riešení aj tam, kde sa to môže zdať nemožné. Každodenné situácie plné emócií – hnevu, smútku, radosti, závisti, zahanbenia, odmietnutia, strachu či neistoty – a tiež vzťahov, kamarátstiev a prijímania odlišností ukazujú, že sa oplatí nevzdávať.
Sedem citlivých príbehov v sebe nesie posolstvá empatie, láskavosti, vzájomnej pomoci, povzbudenia a spolupatričnosti. Každý príbeh dopĺňajú zábavné hľadacie úlohy pre deti, otázky na rozhovor a odborné odporúčania pre rodičov, ktoré podporujú spoločné čítanie a porozumenie detskému svetu.
Kniha vznikla v spolupráci s psychologičkami a špeciálnymi pedagogičkami a odborníci ju odporúčajú ako cennú pomôcku pre deti aj rodičov. Podporuje rozvoj emočnej inteligencie, empatie, spolupráce a pomáha budovať pevné puto medzi dospelým a dieťaťom.
V príbehoch sa deti stretnú s témami:
- ako sa zastať kamaráta (výsmech a šikana),
- ako pomôcť druhému (deti často vidia aj to, čo dospelí prehliadajú),
- že cítiť strach a neistotu je v poriadku (budovanie bezpečia a dôvery),
- čo sa môže stať, keď nepovieme pravdu (klamstvo má rôzne podoby),
- porovnávanie a súťaženie (ak je jeden víťaz, druhý nemusí byť porazený),
- čo tvorí skutočnú rodinu (príbeh o tom, ako sa zo zebry a žirafy stali sestry).
Kniha je voľným pokračovaním titulu Žirinka a Zebrička spoznávajú emócie. Časť príbehov sa odohráva v školskom prostredí, preto je vhodná aj pre deti 1. stupňa základných škôl.
Bohové a monstra 2: Trůn zavržených bohů
Dianna, které ublížili tím nejhorším způsobem, truchlí a je posedlá touhou pomstít se těm, kdo ji zradili. Jakožto legendární Ig’Morruthen žízní po krvi a dokáže přijmout jakoukoliv podobu. Její pravá podoba je však ze všech nejděsivější. A jak přichází o poslední kousky lidskosti, rozhodne se přijmout svou temnou stranu a spálit světy. Samkiel, nesmrtelný bůh, byl kdysi zapřisáhlý nepřítel Dianny a jejího druhu. Avšak jedině on sám teď odmítá uvěřit, že se z ženy, kterou miluje, stal netvor, kterého vidí všichni ostatní – a udělá cokoliv, co je v jeho moci, aby ji zachránil před ní samotnou, i kdyby to znamenalo, že ji navždy ztratí. Teď, když všechny sféry ohrožuje Kadenovo vojsko a na obzoru jsou myriády nových hrozeb, si Samkiel nemůže dovolit polevit v ostražitosti. Jen on dokáže Diannu odtáhnout zpět od okraje zatracení. A zatímco Diannina krvežíznivost jen roste, dochází mu čas, aby sebe i ji zachránil.

A tökéletes fiú
"Mrs. Cass, szeretnénk feltenni néhány kérdést a fiának azzal a lánnyal kapcsolatban, aki tegnap éjjel eltűnt..."
Erika Cassnek tökéletes családja van. És tökéletes élete. Egészen addig, amíg egy este be nem csenget hozzájuk két nyomozó.
Egy középiskolás lány nyomtalanul eltűnt Erikáék csendes, kertvárosi környékéről. A rendőrség a legrosszabbtól tart - gyilkosság történt. És feltehetően Erika kamasz fia, Liam volt az utolsó, aki élve látta a lányt.
Erika mindig is érzett valami sötétet és nyugtalanítót a látszólag kifogástalan idősebb gyerekében. Szeretné azt hinni, hogy ártatlan. Ám ahogy a bizonyítékok egyre gyűlnek, már nem tudja tovább tagadni az igazságot: lehet, hogy Liam valami elképzelhetetlen dolgot követett el. Erikának fel kell tennie magának a kérdést: Meddig hajlandó elmenni egy anya, hogy megvédje a gyermekét?
Freida McFadden New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal és Amazon bestsellerszerző regénye bemutatja, hogy a tökéletesség képe csak egy illúzió, és mindig több rejtőzik a mélyben, mint elsőre gondolnánk.

The Tenant - A bérlő
Otthon, édes otthon...
Blake Porterrel szalad a szekér, amíg aztán ennek vége nem szakad. Amikor váratlanul elbocsátják a marketinges alelnöki állásából, és nem tudja tovább fizetni a jelzálogkölcsön részleteit az új barnatéglás házra, amiben a menyasszonyával lakik, kétségbeesett lépésre szánja el magát, hogy egyenesbe jöjjön.
Színre lép Whitney. Gyönyörű, elbűvölő, józan és albérletet keres. Pontosan az, akire Blake-nek szüksége van. De valóban az-e?
Mert valami nagyon nincs rendben. A szomszédok kezdenek más szemmel nézni Blake-re. Az otthonát átjárja a rothadás szaga, bármennyit takarít is. Éjnek idején különös hangokra riad fel. És hamarosan már attól tart, hogy valaki ismeri a legsötétebb titkait.
A veszély az otthona falai között fészkel, és mire erre ráébred, már régen késő. A csapda már áll.
The Fabric of our Souls - Lelkünk vékony szövete
Huszonhat éves vagyok, és meg akarok halni
Amikor élve felébredek a kórházban, és a fivérem fölöttem sír, ez a pillanat mindent megváltoztat. Elintézte, hogy felvegyenek a Harlow Szentélybe, ebbe a szokatlan rehabilitációs központba, ahol újszerű módszereket alkalmaznak, egy intézetbe, aminek legendás a múltja. Itt ismerkedem meg a szobatársammal, akinek kegyetlen a tekintete és a humorérzéke az enyémnél is morbidabb. Különös vonzalom támad közöttünk.
Én a halál után sóvárgok, ő az élet után.
Képes-e két ilyen ember meggyógyítani egymást?
The Mexican Revolution
The Mexican Revolution defined the sociopolitical experience of those living in Mexico in the twentieth century. Its subsequent legacy has provoked debate between those who interpret the ongoing myth of the Revolution and those who adopt the more middle-of-the-road reality of the regime after 1940. Taking account of these divergent interpretations, this Very Short Introduction offers a succinct narrative and analysis of the Revolution. Using carefully considered sources, Alan Knight addresses the causes of the upheaval, before outlining the armed conflict between 1910 and 1920, explaining how a durable regime was consolidated in the 1920s, and summing up the social reforms of the Revolution, which culminated in the radical years of the 1930s. Along the way, Knight places the conflict alongside other ''great'' revolutions, and compares Mexico with the Latin American countries that avoided the violent upheaval. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
Sbornaya
Sbornaya takes you on an evocative journey through the Soviet Union’s final decade – politically, economically and culturally unravelling – as seen through the lens of its football world. The book explores the history, politics and geopolitical dimensions of the game: how it began, how it evolved and how it became the country’s greatest sporting passion. It reveals how political machinations and behind-the-scenes manoeuvring disrupted a World Cup squad mid-tournament; how two brilliant scientific minds came together to pioneer technological and scientific breakthroughs at a football club; and the recurring story of the USSR’s underachievement on the world stage despite its vast resources and talent. All of this unfolds under the shadow of a political system that sought to control, manipulate and micro-manage the game at every level. It is a football story like no other.

Freddie Flintoff: Coming Home
<p><b>THIS AUTUMN'S MUST-HAVE AUTOBIOGRAPHY</b><br><br><b>Freddie Flintoff's life in full, in his own words, through the moments that made him.</b><br><br>A look back at the moments that made Freddie Flintoff. Told in short scenes, Fred zeroes-in on the crucial instances that shaped his career and life - some highly celebrated, others less well-known, private, away from the cameras, but pivotal in shaping the man he is. <br><br>As a boy, Fred fell in love with the game of cricket, it gave him his route through life; out on the pitch he felt at home. Through his eyes we see: the very first time he picks up a bat, getting out first ball; the walk on to the pitch to face the Aussies in 2005; face-downs with rivals; run-ins with the media; the doctors telling him he can't continue to play. <br><br>After retiring, Fred thought he'd left the game behind, relaunching himself in the world of entertainment, but following the car crash that turned his life upside down, it was cricket to which he returned. This book is a reflection on a unique life, a story like no other, and a love letter to the game that made him. Honest, open, reflective and funny, like the man himself, this is Freddie Flintoff, in full, in his own words.</p>
