Lámpás mesék - Jó éjt, erdőlakók
Ez a különleges kötet nem csupán egy mese, hanem egy közös rituálé kezdete. Ahogy leszáll az éj az erdőre, a kicsik segíthetnek kedvenc állataiknak megtalálni a nyugalmat. A könyv egyedülálló funkciója a beépített lámpa: a gomb megnyomásával a hold lágy fénnyel ragyog fel, biztonságot és melegséget árasztva a sötétben.
Az utolsó hívás - Dzsian telefonfülkéje
Mi lenne, ha egyetlen telefonhívás elegendő lenne ahhoz, hogy választ kapjunk a legfájóbb kérdéseinkre? Egy pszichológiai boncolásokat végző központban azok történetei találkoznak, akik egy szeretett személy öngyilkossága után maradtak magukra, és tele vannak bűntudattal, haraggal és megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel. A központ közelében álló, elhagyatott telefonfülke különös titkot rejt: aki belép oda, és leemeli a kagylót, meghallgathatja elhunyt rokona, szerelme utolsó gondolatait.
Kang Dzsian, a központ vezetője, saját vesztesége - édesapja halála - miatt nap mint nap felkeresi a fülkét, abban a reményben, hogy még egyszer hallhatja a hangját. Amikor felismeri, milyen mély hatással vannak ezek az utolsó gondolatok az itt maradókra, úgy dönt, beépíti a fülkét a pszichológiai boncolás, a traumafeldolgozás, a gyógyítás és gyógyulás folyamatába. A cél nem a múlt megváltoztatása, hanem a megértés: annak feltárása, mi vezetett a tragédiához, és hogyan lehet együtt élni a következményekkel és az elveszített szerettünk hiányával.
Csillagösvényen
BÁN MÓR ezúttal egy izgalmas koncepcióra épülő, dupla novelláskötettel jelentkezik. A Göröngyös úton című kötetben a Hunyadi-sorozat szerzője ezúttal is a magyarok múltjának izgalmas fejezeteit tárja elénk, a Csillagösvényen pedig legkiválóbb sci-fi- elbeszéléseinek gyűjteménye.
Az emberiség jövőjét kutató írások hol a következő évszázadok társadalmának égető gondjaira reflektálnak, hol pedig a technikai fejlődés vívmányainak következményeit próbálják feltérképezni. A távoli galaxisok felfedezői, a jövőben válni készülő házaspárok, akik mindent el akarnak felejteni előző életükből, klónozott személyiségek egymáshoz fűződő, nem könnyen kibogozható viszonya, a távoli évszázadok majdan megvívott ütközeteinek hősei, a közeli jövő háborús tudósításainak forgatókönyvírói - csupán néhány figura és téma a kötetben szereplő elbeszélésekből.
A novellák között akad sokkolóan szókimondó, fordulatos, akár egy kalandregény, vagy éppen mélyen elgondolkodtató. Vajon jó irányba tartunk a jövőbe vezető úton?
Idézzük fel együtt a hosszú utat - a földrögből a csillagokig!

Drawing on a range of sources, including paintings, street photography, maps, tourist guides, literature, and stage and press representations, Fashioning London paints a vivid and definitive portrait of London's iconoclastic style. Explore how particular styles of dress became emblematic of this leading international city, ultimately challenging the fashion dominance of Paris, Milan, and New York. Christopher Breward constructs an original history of clothing in London, through its manufacture, promotion, and cultural significance, while examining how issues of space, architecture and performance impinge on notions of fashionability. You will come away from this text understanding that although city life and fashion have always been intertwined, nowhere has this relationship been more excitingly expressed than on the streets of London.
The Northern Bank Job
The true story of one of the biggest bank heists in Irish and British history – and the questions that remain.On a Sunday evening in December 2004, two young men were at home with their families. Both worked for the Northern Bank’s cash centre in Belfast. They heard knocks on their front doors. Within a few minutes, masked men invaded their homes, overpowered their loved ones and disabled their electronic devices. It was made clear to the two bank officials that they had a choice: do what they were told or their families would die.Over the course of the following day, L26.5 million was stolen from the Northern Bank: the biggest cash heist in Irish and British history. The two men whose families were held hostage simply re-labelled vast amounts of cash as rubbish and wheeled huge bags to a van waiting outside in the street, yards from Belfast’s City Hall. The robbers’ knowledge of the inner workings of the bank was astonishing. They deployed a large crew of drivers, guards, watchers and gunmen.It was immediately obvious that only one organization had the ability to plan and execute such an audacious, minutely-planned robbery: the Irish Republican Army. But the IRA was supposed to be demobilized as a result of the Good Friday Peace Agreement signed six years earlier. The leaders of Sinn Féin (who were also leaders of the IRA) vehemently denied they had anything to do with it.No-one believed them. The governments in London, Dublin and Washington were outraged. Yet no one was ever been convicted of any crime relating to the heist and little more than two years later, Sinn Féin was in government in Northern Ireland.In the wake of the twentieth anniversary of this bizarre robbery, Glenn Patterson builds on his popular BBC podcast to shed new light on the story of the infamous heist, the victims, the organizers and the abortive, at times comically inept, attempts to find the people who carried it out.

The phenomenal Danish bestseller: a transporting, inspirational story of home, of endings, rebirth and new beginningsIn the darkness of winter on the first day of the year, a woman in Denmark is making a list. She plans to set out and see all of the country's butterfly species in a single summer. She knows nothing about butterflies. She doesn’t even know why she wants to see them.

We follow Lea Korsgaard as her list takes her to landscapes she never knew existed, shaped by the wind and by the sea. She discovers secret places and meets strangers who help along the way. And she is led into the past: into the lives of her ancestors and the worlds of philosophy and myth. Because ever since ancient times, the butterfly has symbolized humanity’s hope of rebirth—and confronted us with the biggest questions of existence: why do we live? And what are we living for?

Groomed
The horrifying story of Jonathan Cresswell and the rape and murder of 21 year old showjumper Katie Simpson, who was initially thought to have taken her own life until Cresswell's crime was uncovered Jonathan Cresswell was a dangerous and violent man, particularly to women. He manipulated his many girlfriends using coercive control and physically assaulted them if they didn't do as he wished. In August 2020 he raped and murdered showjumper Katie Simpson, the sister of his partner and the aunt of his two children. He attempted to cover up the murder and pretended he had found her hanging from the landing in their shared home, and he very nearly got away with it. Only the persistence of an investigative journalist, suspicious nurses and Katie's concerned family and friends caused the PSNI to open a case almost five months after her death. During the resulting trial Cresswell killed himself. Three other women were charged with helping him to conceal his crime, and each received a suspended sentence due their deference of being under Cresswell's control.
