THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES #1 BESTSELLER ‘Typically exposing, brilliantly written' VOGUE ‘Its quick hits of wit are like sniffs from an oxygen mask’ NEW YORK TIMES 'Few people are willing to be as human as Lena Dunham’ OBSERVER 'A generational voice' FINANCIAL TIMES In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain. For the last decade, as she’s spent countless hours in doctor’s waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham’s body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It’s not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you – as a twenty-five-year-old – are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist’s office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it – even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she’s meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her – because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again – if only she could remember who that self was. As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame – from selling the pilot of Girls to the present – in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can’t protect you from pain – and begins to control your every move – being famous doesn’t stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience. In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can’t change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.

The clues lead to Haven Cliff, an abandoned Gilded Age estate that’s been the stuff of cursed legend for generations. It’s also Kelly’s new home, restored after decades of ruin.

At Home with Blue: Soothing spaces for restful living
Beloved for its tranquil and restorative qualities, the color blue is endlessly versatile in the home. Bestselling author Fifi O’Neill reveals 12 homes that explore the full spectrum of shades. Blues are right at home in any room, whether your style skews country or urban, modern or classic, bold or understated. Every color has an anthology of hues, but finding a soothing red or an energizing grey can be challenging. Blue, however, is a color without limits: from azure to cerulean and from turquoise to ultramarine, there are countless possibilities. It also pairs well with other hues. With white it evokes the laidback charm of a coastal cottage. In a chalky pastel scheme it brings a soft and dreamy feel. And it provides the perfect contrast for bright green, mustard yellow or a pop of red. In the first section of the book, Inspirations, Fifi considers the essential elements of a blue-toned scheme: fabrics and furniture, lighting, accessories, and more. The second section, The Homes, features 12 real homes from Rhode Island to California, arranged in four chapters: Heavenly Blues, Moody Blues, True Blues, and Atmospheric Blues. Each one offers an inspiring take on decorating with this much-loved color.

The Auction
I was trained to be a pawn, but I will rise as a queen.
My life has never been my own. After the death of my parents, I was saved by my grandfather, with the promise that he would turn me over to the Brotherhood on my twenty-first birthday.
I was kept away from the outside world so I could one day be sold to the highest bidder—pure and unsullied. Penance for my parents’ alleged crimes.
That’s how I come to be sold at an auction.
And who buys me but the reclusive billionaire, Lincoln Knight?
Some say that he’s a monster, more dangerous than any of the evil men from the Brotherhood. That he wears a mask to cover his scars. But I believe he’s hiding more than just his face behind his mask.
My fate is sealed when he takes me to his crumbling mansion deep in the woods. I’m trapped. Entirely at his mercy.
I have to escape.
But something here isn’t what it seems.
Lincoln isn’t what he seems. Maybe he’s not a monster at all. I’m drawn to him in a way that I can’t explain. Until I discover that his secrets go far beyond his mask.
He’s everything I’ve been taught to fear, but what if everything I’ve ever known has been a lie?
Kenneth More
Kenneth More was the living embodiment of British humour, steadfastness and resilience on the film screen and off. Born into a life of wealth in 1914, he fell into show business almost by accident and worked for nearly two decades – including at London’s famous Windmill Theatre – before becoming the icon we know today. After a long, distinguished stint in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, he was ‘discovered’ by Noël Coward and set on the road to fame. What followed was a string of films we have come to know as the most beloved classics of British cinema, such as Genevieve, Reach for the Sky, The 39 Steps, A Night to Remember, Sink the Bismarck! and Scrooge. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, his private life was almost as exciting as the roles he played. Following a string of affairs and eleven years of marriage, he made national headlines after running off with a young actress. Then, when a public spat with the head of Britain’s biggest movie studio damaged his career, he found a new home in television. On screen, Kenneth More fought some courageous battles, but his bravest fight came when Parkinson’s disease ended his career in the late 1970s. Nathan Morely has produced a fascinating and insightful biography of one of the most iconic and enduring legends of British cinema, with contributions from fellow actors and directors who worked with him. Among these are Martin Jarvis, Jane Asher, Chris Sarandon, Anneke Wills, Susan Penhaligon, Alvin Rakoff, Peter Medak, Barry MacGregor, and many others.
Dionysos
A landmark account of the Dionysos myth as an archetypal expression of indestructible lifeNo other god of the Greeks is as widely present in the monuments and ritual practices of antiquity as Dionysos. In this book, acclaimed mythologist and historian of religion Carl Kerényi presents an engaging history of the religion of Dionysos from its beginnings in the Minoan culture to its transition to a cosmic and cosmopolitan religion of late antiquity under the Roman Empire. From the wealth of Greek literary, epigraphic, and monumental traditions, Kerényi constructs a vivid picture of Dionysian worship, bringing to life the secret cult scenes of the women’s mysteries both within and beyond Attica, the mystic sacrificial rite at Delphi, and the great public Dionysian festivals at Athens. He shows how tragedy and New Comedy are high spiritual forms of the Dionysian religion and how the Dionysian element itself represents an important chapter in the religious history of Europe.

Nevera. Skutočné príbehy o láske, klamstvách, nádeji a túžbe
Každý piaty človek sa v priebehu svojho života dopustí nevery. Skutočné dôvody, ktoré k nej vedú, sú však často úplne iné, než si predstavujeme. Psychoterapeutka Juliet Rosenfeld vo svojej knihe Nevera odkrýva spleť tajomstiev, lží a skrytých túžob, ktoré sprevádzajú mimomanželské vzťahy. Prostredníctvom piatich dramatických, no úprimne vyrozprávaných príbehov nám ukazuje odvrátenú stranu ľudskej intimity.
Stretávame muža, ktorý dokázal odísť od manželky priamo z pôrodnice za mladou milenkou, aj psychologičku, ktorej profesionálny úsudok zatienila spaľujúca príťažlivosť k pacientovi. Vypočujeme si príbeh chirurga, ktorý riskoval všetko pre svoju Bohyňu, ktorú poznal iba online, aj heterosexuálnu ženu, ktorá podviedla svojho manžela s kolegyňou – a napokon zmenila životy oboch ich rodín.
Juliet Rosenfeld otvára dvere do trinástej komnaty ľudského správania – nevery, ktorá je v spoločnosti tabuizovaná, no v skutočnosti prekvapivo bežná. Autorka ju skúma s empatiou, bez súdenia a bez nánosu hanby. Vďaka kombinácii osobných spovedí, prelomových poznatkov z výskumov a hĺbkovej psychologickej analýzy táto kniha zbúra všetky vaše doterajšie predsudky o tom, čo v skutočnosti znamená byť neverný.

Twisted Games - Bridget & Rhys
Rhys Larsen testőr, és szigorú szabályok szerint végzi a munkáját: 1) Mindenáron megvédi az ügyfeleit. 2) Nem vonódik bele a magánéletükbe. Soha. És soha még csak meg sem fordult a fejében, hogy megszegje ezeket a szabályokat... amíg nem találkozott vele...
A lány épp olyan makacs, mint ő, és a hűvös felszín alatt olyan tűz ég benne, ami idővel felemészti a jól bevált szabályokat. Napról napra fokozatosan bontja le a férfi védőfalait, mígnem Rhys kénytelen szembenézni az igazsággal: arra esküdött fel, hogy megvédi a lányt, de igazából nem akar mást, mint megragadni, és... Bridget von Ascheberggel hercegnő szabad életről és szerelemről álmodik.
Amikor viszont a bátyja lemond a trónról, rá kell döbbennie, hogy nemsokára királynő lesz, és egy szeretet nélküli, de politikailag előnyös házasság vár rá. Pedig ő soha nem akarta magának a trónt. És ahogy új szerepkörében az intrikák és árulások között igyekszik lavírozni, még a benne tomboló vágyat is el kell rejtenie: hiszen a teste és a lelke egy olyan férfit kíván, akit nem kaphat meg. Az ő váratlan és tiltott szerelemük romba döntheti az egész királyságot... és mindkettőjük számára katasztrofális következményeket rejteget.
