Cool Machine


1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind. 1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker. 1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right. With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

The sixth in Elizabeth Helen's Amazon top 5 and Sunday Times bestselling Beasts of the Briar series, a spicy Beauty and the Beast retelling filled with enchanted fae, morally gray characters, a stupidly hot villain, and a princess who has found her Prince Charming. All five of them. Once upon a time, I used to look upon the sun. Now, there is only darkness. And the Prince of Thorns. I am his captive, his thrall. Caspian, the man he used to be, is nothing but a memory. And if the Prince of Thorns gets his way, all of the Enchanted Vale-and the four other princes bound to my heart-will fall to ruin. As I navigate the treacherous Below, my mates risk everything to reach me. But the Green Flame is spreading across the realms, corrupting all it touches. If they can't fight it, Caspian won't be the only one consumed by its power. It's now or never. Either we defeat the god who seeks to tear our world apart...or we die together, becoming nothing but shadow. But I've learned something down here. Beautiful things can grow in the dark. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my home and family...and bring Caspian back to me.

Az utolsó szimulákrum


A hatalom csak eggyel osztható. A háború dúlta Földön a sors és a körülmények egy különös csoportot hoznak össze: egy fasisztát, aki államcsínyt tervez, egy zongoristát, aki az elméjével játszik a hangszeren, egy first ladyt, aki mindent a kezében akar tartani, és az utolsó praktizáló pszichiátert. Miközben a társadalom tetején állók a hatalomért marakodnak, az elnyomott alsó osztály kezd magához térni a kábaságból, egyre többet kérdez, és egyre inkább helyzete és ereje tudatára ébred. Philip K. Dick regényében összeesküvés összeesküvést ér, miközben úgy olvashatunk történetet időutazásról, pszichoterápiáról, telekinézisről, androidokról és neandervölgyi mutánsokról, ahogy soha korábban.

Prince of Swords - Arcana Academy 2


I am terrified. Yet my heart skips a beat. This man might be a monster, but he is my monster. Clara Graysword is Oricalis's most wanted. Hunted and cornered, not even her mastery of tarot can save her this time . . . until the mysterious Worldkeepers appear. This secretive order may hold the key to changing Clara's fate. If she dares to trust them. But the most dangerous alliance of all is one she's already deeply ensnared within: Prince Kaelis. Kaelis, second-born prince of Oricalis and headmaster of Arcana Academy, is the one man she can't escape - maybe she doesn't want to escape. Ruthless, dangerous, and bound to Clara by destiny and desire, Kaelis tests her heart as much as her loyalty. Together, they grow closer to the most powerful secrets of the tarot . . . and to the truths they both hide that could destroy the passion that they no longer deny. Hidden in plain sight within Arcana Academy, Clara walks the dagger's edge. Revelations about Oricalis threaten everything she thought she knew, and every choice she makes is the difference between salvation and ruin. To change the world, Clara must risk everything - her power, her beliefs, and her heart.

Pandemie ve šťastné obci


Satirická próza o době, kdy se svět uzavřel — a jedno město se pomalu zbláznilo. Fiktivní město Toulava se po příchodu pandemie mění v místo plné strachu, absurdních pravidel, sousedské podezíravosti i nečekaných příležitostí. Jednotlivé povídky propojuje postava Rolanda, podivínského mladíka a pozorného pozorovatele, který sleduje, jak se obyvatelé „šťastné obce“ vyrovnávají s lockdownem, panikou, konspiracemi, distanční výukou, online schůzemi i vlastními slabostmi. Jakub Marek zachycuje pandemickou dobu s ironií, nadhledem a lehce hořkou příchutí. Pandemie ve šťastné obci je kniha o tom, co jsme všichni zažili, ale možná si to už raději pamatujeme jinak: chvíle komické, trapné, mrazivé i lidsky dojemné. Kniha je určena čtenářům české satirické prózy, těm, kteří se chtějí na nedávnou dobu podívat s odstupem, a všem, kdo mají rádi humor s výrazným společenským přesahem.

Prdík nie je hanba - Príšerky


Knižka učí deti hravou a láskavou formou, že telo občas vytvára zvláštne zvuky a vône, ktoré sú však úplne prirodzené. Na príklade veselých príšeriek demonštruje, že prdenie je prirodzenou súčasťou života, ale zároveň nepatrí do spoločnosti ani k slušnému správaniu, a že pri „náhodnej nehode“ je potrebné ospravedlniť sa.

UNSAYABLE HB


An intimate memoir portraying a life spent trying to describe the indescribable—from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist of The Hours and Day.Go ahead. Try using language to slit the skin of mortality to see what’s on the other side.At the age of three, Michael Cunningham began obsessively collecting the names of things: oak, Chevrolet, finch, tulip, Tupperware… Each word rendered the world ever so slightly more understandable, more describable, kicking off a lifelong love affair with language—one that would, eventually, maybe inevitably, lead him to become a writer.In Unsayable, Cunningham’s memories spill forth, and with them, reflections on the craft of writing. He is fifteen, in a swimming pool at night, gazing at the first boy he ever fell in love with, who is lost in contemplative silence. He is a new college graduate, setting off for nowhere in a Dodge Dart, hoping to pull meaning (and a novel) from the expanse of America. He is on Cape Cod, regaling an elderly couple with invented tales of sexual escapades. He is in an art gallery, unwittingly having the first in a lifetime of conversations with the man he would marry. A thread ties each beautifully-wrought moment to the next: what is unspoken, what won’t yield to language, what is embellished beyond recognition, what is still left to say.Luminous, perceptive and powerful, Unsayable is an ode to literature, a meditation on craft and an intimate account of a life spent trying to put into words that which resists depiction. This, it turns out, is the lifeblood of the fiction writer: the impossibility of capturing the human experience, and the relentless desire to try.

Witch Below the Dreaming Wood


'This book feels as though I could have pulled it, dust-coated, from a half-forgotten shelf. A true feast of myth and wonder . . . I grinned, I cried, I didn't want to put it down and I haven't stopped thinking about it since I finished'Freya Marske, bestselling author of A Marvellous LightDive into an atmospheric and captivating historical fantasy about the power of stories, where dreams come to life and Arthurian legends are reborn. Wales, 1941. As the second world war ravages the globe and bombs fall from the sky, people all over the world begin to dream of King Arthur. The dreams spread like a fantastical plague, flooding people's sleep night after night. Whispers arise of wonders and unexplained sights - dragons in the London Underground, and strange lights over Stonehenge. Self-proclaimed prophets claim they are miracles, heralding Arthur's return at the time of Britain's greatest need.?Elaine Ambrose has never dreamed of Arthur, and she doesn't believe in miracles. A librarian at the British Museum, she wants only to protect the museum's collection from the Blitz, and is frustrated to be sent instead to catalogue a reclusive professor's private library on the coast of North Wales.

And her dreams promise not salvation, but a return to the darkness of the last days of Camelot. ?'A dreamy, achingly beautiful tale about the power of stories. The Witch Below the Dreaming Wood imagines the magic and legend of the Arthurian age as a bright light, thrust into the darkness of World War II. Beautifully conceived and impossible to put down'Morgan Ryan, author of A RESISTANCE OF WITCHESReader reviews:'A lush and beautiful love letter to Arthurian myth, H. G.

This Is the Place


This Is the Place is the sinister tale of an aged and lonely blackjack dealer living in Wendover, Nevada, and his love that leads him to do a terrible thing, and the story he tells to justify it to himselfSixty-four-feet tall and made of metal, the neon giant Wendover Will stands in front of the Stateline casino in Wendover, Nevada and faces east. The sign under him reads "This Is The Place." Over a hundred miles away in Utah, across the salt flats, stands the statue of Brigham Young, atop his monument, proclaiming the same thing, "This Is The Place."This Is The Place is a novel of love, perhaps doomed, told by an endearing misanthrope who may be delusional, but who has managed to coalesce his manias into an alternative understanding that lies somewhere between Wendover Will''s depravity and Brigham Young''s morality:"The dispute between Will and Brigham is not for me to settle, nor would I want it settled. The words hang over the salt flats, the most forsaken stretch of earth, a terrifying expanse of sheer space, white, like another planet, hard and smooth where nothing can live. This all sounds so grim! I''ve known joy and I''ll know it again. It''s just that it takes work to get up the words to talk about love."His love leads him to do a terrible thing, and he tells this story to justify himself. His words, seductive and convincing, draw the reader into a world where the supernatural takes on new meaning. It is a haunting journey to the extreme realities of Las Vegas and Salt Lake City and many places in between. Above all, it is an odyssey to the depths of love.

Nagycsoportos vagyok - iskolás leszek: Figyelemtartást fejlesztő munkafüzet


Napjainkban egyre több óvodáskorú gyermek érintett a figyelem tartósságával kapcsolatos problémákban. Könnyen belátható, hogy a koncentrációs képesség gyengesége gyakran együtt jár a gyengébb tanulási teljesítménnyel. A digitális eszközök a gyerekeket a folyamatosan változó ingerekhez szoktatják, miközben egyre kevesebb olyan tevékenységgel találkoznak, amelyek tartósabb odafigyelést igényelnek. Márpedig az iskolai tanulás során a kitartó figyelemnek kiemelt jelentősége van. Ez a kiadvány olyan módszert kínál a csapongó figyelmű gyermekek megsegítésére, amely játékos formában fejleszti és erősíti a kitartóbb koncentráció képességét. A módszer lényege, hogy a gyermek figyelmét megragadó képekhez kérdések kapcsolódnak, amelyek fenntartják az érdeklődést, és gondolkodásra késztetik a gyermeket. A kép-kérdés módszer kiváló lehetőséget nyújt arra, hogy a gyermek koncentrációs képessége játékos módon fejlődjön és erősödjön. Nagycsoportos gyermekek esetében a feladatlapokon végzett munka különösen ajánlott. A gyermek előtt mindig csak egy képpár legyen. A füzet másik oldalát érdemes egy fehér lappal letakarni, hogy az ott lévő képek ne vonják el a gyermek figyelmét. Először nevezzék meg együtt a két képet! Ezután tegye fel a soron következő kérdést, amelyre a gyermeknek válaszolnia kell! Miután eldöntötte, hogy a két kép közül melyik ad választ a kérdésre - az egyik, a másik, mindkettő vagy egyik sem -, nevezze meg, melyik színű karikában kell a jelölést elvégeznie. A feladatok ilyen módon történő elvégzése nemcsak a figyelem tartósságát támogatja, hanem bővíti és pontosítja a gyermek ismereteit is az adott témában. Azáltal pedig, hogy a gyermek írásban is jelöli a helyes választ, fokozatosan jártasságot szerez az írásbeli feladatmegoldásban is. A feladatok középsős gyermekekkel is elvégezhetők. Ebben az életkorban azonban elegendő, ha a gyermek csupán rámutat arra a képre, amely szerinte helyes választ adja a kérdésre.

Nagycsoportos vagyok - Iskolás leszek: Matematikát előkészítő munkafüzet


Az iskolába lépés a gyermekek életében jelentős mérföldkő. Az első osztály kiemelt feladatai közé tartozik a számolási készség megalapozása. A mennyiségfogalom kialakítása, valamint a tízes számkörön belüli műveletvégzés (összeadás, kivonás) előkészítése azonban már óvodáskorban megkezdhető. Ez a munkafüzet célzottan az 5-7 éves korosztály számára készült. A feladatok egymásra épülnek, a fokozatosság elvét követve vezetik be a gyermekeket a matematikai gondolkodás világába, elősegítve az iskolai tanuláshoz szükséges alapképességek meglétét. A kiadvány nem használja a számjegyek írott formáját, kizárólag mennyiségekkel alapozza meg azt a matematikai tudást, amelyre a gyermeknek az iskolában szüksége lesz. A mennyiségek ábrázolására egységes rendszert alkalmaz, amely kiküszöböli annak bizonytalan értelmezését.

Průstřely na nočním nebi


Než se Ocean Vuong celosvětově proslavil románem Na Zemi jsme na okamžik nádherní, byl především básníkem. Jeho debutová sbírka je směsicí křehkosti a síly. V básních, které čerpají z válečných zkušeností, kulturní rozpolcenosti i osobních ztrát, autor hledá jazyk pro lásku, bolest, paměť a touhu. Jeho verše jsou obrazné, hudebně laděné, a přitom nekompromisně tělesné – dokážou být něžné i surové v jediné větě. Vuong s citlivostí i odvahou zachycuje, jak se historie vpíjí do života jednotlivce.
