So Young, So Great
When Bob Feller hit the Major League Baseball scene, he instantly became one of the most famous athletes in the country. Everything Feller did made headlines, primarily because anything he did had never been done before, especially by someone his age. To this day, Feller is the only pitcher to have signed his first professional contract and played in the Major League while still in high school. By the age of seventeen he had set an American League record for most strikeouts in a game, and by nineteen, he had broken his own Major League strikeout record. So Young, So Great covers the first six years of Feller's career, from 1936 to 1941, from his discovery in the small town of Van Meter, Iowa, as a high school junior, to his immediate entry into the Major Leagues with no minor league detours, the extensive media coverage of his every move and his box office appeal to fans, and his record-breaking feats up to his enlistment into World War II at age twenty-two. Before signing a contract with the Cleveland Indians, Feller was a prospect of such magnitude that Major League scouts were fighting in hotel lobbies to get to Feller, still a minor, to sign a Major League contract. His high school graduation was broadcast nationally on radio. And when he had to have his wisdom teeth removed, a photographer and reporter were in the room to document it. By focusing on the first six years of Feller's career, So Young, So Great captures in revelatory detail Feller's unprecedented arrival, as a high school teenager, on the Big League stage, and his rapid ascension into one of the game's all-time greats.
Cities of Dust and Mud
This book explores the social costs of urban change and the limits of modernity through a comparative study of two Balkan cities, Belgrade and Sofia. Between 1820 and 1920, both cities grew from small Ottoman towns into large national capitals, as their bourgeois elites envisioned new, urban societies on the European borderlands. This book traces the lofty ambitions and dire consequences of this project: situated on the periphery of global capital flows, elite-led attempts at remaking Balkan capitals into European cities relied on dispossession, brutal labor control, and real estate speculation, while failing to achieve their goals of exponential growth. Drawing on a rich array of archival sources, Miloš Jovanovic considers the ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Belgrade, municipal corruption in Sofia, anxieties over sex work and the regulation of intimacy, and attempts at creating docile workers through policing and prisons. Bringing working people to the forefront, he shows how the modernity envisioned by elites failed to transform their lives for the better, and how urban residents developed a nostalgia for the Ottoman city as a critique of their contemporary moment. Going beyond the limits of national frameworks, this book transforms our understanding of Balkan history, national modernization, and the role of fantasy in capitalist societies, offering keen insights for today's era of growing inequality.

The Psychology of Luck
Praised as a book that 'brings you luck the moment you open it', this book contains lessons on how to understand - and use - the psychology of luck. Why are successful people so obsessed with luc? ecause they want to draw things of value to them. The average person will experience at least a couple of lucky breaks in their lives, but life's successes and failures are dependent on how well you recognize the signs of such luck. Born into a family with a gift of intuitive foresight and raised in Korean traditions of numerology, astrology and shamanism, Min Ji Yoo has developed deep insights into how people attract luck, money and the things they value to themselves. In The Psychology of Luck, Min Ji Yoo focuses on how successful people harness their luck to attract success - and how we can too. Drawing on her years working with celebrities, business tycoons, politicians, and everyday people, Ji Yoo explains that the capacity to take advantage of lucky opportunities determines one's success. In this book, she reveals the surprising truths that you can enrich your life in many ways, simply by changing your attitude and psychological approach to luck. Each chapter offers life lessons about luck and abundance - as well as approaches that quiet those anxieties that weigh us down. From 'live according to your instincts' to 'the more grace you give, the less pain you receive', Min Ji Yoo demonstrates that self-knowledge, worldly wisdom and luck are essential to becoming rich - whether measured in money, love, health or spiritual terms.
The Way It Haunted Him
A terrifying and powerful dark academia novel about Jewish folklore, grief, and other things locked in the archives. Perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Tori Bovalino and Sunyi Dean. "It's real. You'll see."Michael Stein arrives at the Schechter Institute for Judaic Studies in upstate New York, battered and broken after the death of his boyfriend seven months prior. Blaming himself for the accident that killed him, Michael has come to the Institute to complete his boyfriend's dissertation as part of his effort at repentance. While Michael's own past leads him to condemn superstition as a way to mask prejudice and old-fashioned beliefs, his boyfriend's research argues that the folktales told in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe were based in truth, and that demons and other creatures walked the earth, wreaking havoc on peoples' lives. Instead of the Institute's infamous archivist, Michael is met by his grandson, Jacob Schechter, who has taken over the archive after his grandfather's death. A firm believer in the existence of the supernatural, Jacob explains that the archive plays host to a coterie of household demons. Michael insists that he is a skeptic, but strange and frightening occurrences plague his research, causing Michael to question both his sanity and his view of the world. To cope with his guilt, grief, and the terrifying shadows following him, Michael must reckon with the events leading up to his boyfriend's death-and his role in it-by trusting the enigmatic Jacob to help uncover the truth. As untangling the mysteries of the past bring Jacob and Michael closer together, their respective secrets threaten to tear them apart. Because Michael is not the only one with darkness on his conscience, and if he and Jacob discover the truth of each other, only one of them may survive the fallout.

Ellie’s growing attraction and the dangerous waters are the least of her worries. She’s hiding secrets from everyone and, as the date with the bookie draws closer, she is at risk of losing it all.

Summer of Freedom
This colorful post–World War II history brings to life a crucial yet understudied period, through the eyes of both major figures and ordinary people.It was a summer like no one had ever experienced: in the four months from May to September 1945, the old world collapsed, and a new one opened up. The heinous Third Reich was over, ushering in an era of freedom, but also fresh conflicts.With a gripping historical panorama, Oliver Hilmes offers insight into this unprecedented summer, from the perspectives of the victors and the vanquished, victims and perpetrators, celebrities and unknowns. The “Big Three”—Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin—determine the course of history at the Potsdam Conference. German housewife Else Tietze fears for her son’s safety. US soldier Klaus Mann tracks down Nazi criminals. And in Berlin Billy Wilder plans a comedy about life in the ruins. Cafés and restaurants reopen their doors, and Red Army soldier Vasily Petrowitsch is begged for bread by German children.Through a series of scenes that lead from Berlin to Tokyo, from Munich to Paris, from Bayreuth to Moscow, Hilmes captures the unique atmosphere of this time of extremes: the great happiness and hope of the liberated; the misery, grief, and fear of the defeated; and the uncertainty that comes with freedom.

Otthonról haza
Csepelyi Adrienn novelláskötetében az otthon néha egy gyerekkori emlék, egy étel közös felemlegetése, egy régi tárgy tapintása vagy egy jóindulatú szomszéd gesztusa. Máskor fájdalom vagy éppen tragikum. Mert a szülőföldet, bárhová sodorjon is bennünket az élet, az ember mindenüvé magával hurcolja.
Ezek az útközben talált történetek mindannyiunk számára ismerős terekből és helyzetekből indulnak: lakásokból, falusi utcákból, udvarokból, piacokról, lépcsőházakból, vidéki és városi emlékezetből. Legnagyobb értékük pedig, hogy őszintén és kérlelhetetlenül szembesítenek bennünket az élet törvényszerűségeivel, miközben a mélyükön mindig ott csillog az emberség, a megértés és a szerző kifogyhatatlan együttérzése.
A Heinrich Annamária illusztrációival díszített gyűjtemény Csepelyi Adrienn tízévnyi novellatermésének legjavából válogat.
,,Szilvavirágillat száll, meg-megcsap az éles szélben. A falu végén dühödt kék az ég, az összes fényt a fehér szirmokra irányították, mintha csak azt akarná megmutatni a Jóisten, mire kell koncentrálnunk a viharban.
A férfi hajnal óta ás, láttam akkor is, amikor boltba mentem tojásért. A kézfeje messziről vöröslik. A ház melletti keskeny sávban fagyközeli lehet még a levegő, hiába az aranysárga napsütés, visszafordultunk a télbe.
Biccentünk, elhaladok.
Nem ismerem. Mostanában költözhettek ide, amíg nem voltam idehaza. Ritkán jövök. Mire megjelenek, már ki is koptam a tájból, újra nyomot kell hagynom benne, hogy ne felejtsem el magam én se."
Csepelyi Adrienn 1984-ben született, és az ország keleti csücskében, a szabolcs-szatmár-beregi Penyigén nőtt fel. Kulturális újságíró, publicista, műsorvezető. Junior Prima-díjas, Népszabadság-díjas, Hüpátia-médiadíjas, a Szegénységről Méltósággal Sajtódíj különdíjasa. Belemenés címmel 2018-ban jelent meg első regénye, 2024-ben CAMPUS 15 címmel riportkönyvet írt a debreceni Campus fesztiválról.
Nagymamám magyaráz című műfajteremtő kötete - amely eredetileg családi nyelvjárásgyűjtésnek, emlékrögzítésnek indult, és amely végül kollektív emlékezetünk markáns lenyomata lett - 2025-ben jelent meg a 21. Század Kiadónál.
