Redcoat Deluxe Edition Hardcover Book One
"Redcoat mixes history and the unknown for a tantalizing start." —AIPT Immortal. Mercenary. Kind of a tool. Meet Simon Pure, the newest UNNAMED hero, created by comic all-stars Geoff Johns and Bryan Hitch, now collected in a deluxe hardcover edition featuring exclusive extras. A British soldier and all-around rogue, Pure’s led quite an exciting life. Or lives, really. After a failed assassination of General George Washington at the Battle of Trenton in 1776, Simon stumbled upon hooded figures performing a bizarre ritual that accidentally gave him immortality. Since that fateful day, Simon has died and returned countless times over, rubbing elbows (and sometimes fists) with history’s most renowned figures, including his nemesis Benedict Arnold, Albert Einstein, real-life serial killers the Bloody Benders, American icon Johnny Appleseed, Wild West sharpshooter Annie Oakley, and many more. But none of those encounters prepare him for The Northerner—a mysterious time-traveler who needs Simon’s help to prevent the Confederacy from winning the Civil War.

This volume closes out with a trip to Washington, D.C., as Simon encounters a haunting in the White House in a prelude to the FIRST GHOST miniseries.

The Secret of Sunrises
From award-winning author Ellie Block comes a heartwarming novel to remind us that forgiveness, like the sea, has tides—and it’s never too late to sail toward the sunset. When Catherine Moran’s long-lost brother bequeaths her a boat in Key West, she’s not sure what hurts more: his death or the decades they’ve been estranged. The fifty-seven-year-old thinks this could be the answer to her financial strain since putting their mother in a memory care facility, but when she arrives on the island, her bonanza is a bust. The boat is a dilapidated trawler supposedly once owned by Ernest Hemingway, and a handsome buddy of her brother is living onboard but refuses to jump ship. Because both Catherine and her brother were named after Hemingway characters, she can’t shake the author’s shadow. Instead of unwinding, Catherine ends up crisscrossing the island trying to drum up interest in the barely operable vessel. Key West is south of her normal. However, if she wants to unravel the mystery of the boat and her brother, that’s exactly the direction Catherine needs to go.
The Art of Legend
Once in a faraway kingdom there was a prince prophesied to be the Chosen One, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom. But then the Eternal Khan died...and the prophecy was broken. For Jian, the fated prince, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair.
But instead, he chose to create his own destiny. He studied under his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor to become a great warrior. And he banded together with some unlikely allies whose courage and determination match his own-such as Sali, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path apart from the one her culture created for her.
Because some heroes aren't simply born legends-they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone, but are stronger together.

A Maia család
Egy hanyatló világ ragyogó krónikája – szerelemről, illúziókról és egy család végzetéről. A Maia család története több mint egy nemzedék sorsa: egy egész korszak tükre. A fiatal, művelt és tehetséges Carlos da Maia előtt minden lehetőség nyitva áll – ám élete hamarosan olyan szenvedélyek és titkok hálójába fonódik, amelyek elől nincs menekvés. A 19. századi Lisszabon elegáns szalonjai, kávéházai és arisztokrata körei mögött lassú erkölcsi és szellemi hanyatlás húzódik meg. Eça de Queirós finom iróniával és részletgazdag realizmussal rajzolja meg egy társadalom portréját, amely képtelen szembenézni saját gyengeségeivel. A Maia család egyszerre nagy ívű családregény és éles társadalomkritika, a portugál irodalom egyik legjelentősebb alkotása, amely ma is érvényes kérdéseket tesz fel sorsról, felelősségről és az elvesztegetett lehetőségekről. Egy történet, amely magával ragad – és nem ereszt. José Maria Eça de Queirós nagy XIX. századi portugál családregénye Pál Ferenc fordításában jelenik meg. A könyvet L. Varga Péter szerkesztette, a borítót Szabó Imola Julianna készítette.
Vasarely regényes évszázada - második, bővített kiadás
Victor Vasarely a 20. századi képzőművészet egyik legjelentősebb alakja, az „optikai festészet”, azaz op-art legfontosabb alkotója. Művei mindenütt óriási sikert arattak, nemcsak a galériákban és kiállításokon, de a populáris kultúrában is. Ebből a regényes életrajzból kiderül, honnan indult és hová jutott: a pécsi születésétől a budapesti tanulóéveken át franciaországi letelepedéséig. Végigkísérjük a szegénységtől a gazdagságig, az ismeretlenségtől a világhírig. A pikáns családi legendákból megismerjük szerelmeit, szenvedélyeit, és azt is megtudjuk, hogyan kapcsolódott össze életében művészet, üzlet és szerelem. Mindemellett megelevenedik előttünk a 20. század közepi Párizs mozgalmas kávéházaival, füstös és fülledt szalonjaival, galériáival, a kor legnagyobb festőivel és zenészeivel, filmeseivel, művészlegendákkal, galériatulajdonosokkal. Látjuk Franciaországot és Magyarországot a második világháború alatt, Párizs szerepének változását a nemzetközi művészvilágban és műkereskedelemben, Amerika mind nagyobb vonzerejét, New York lehetőségekkel teli csillogását. Végül tanúi vagyunk a francia vidéken eltöltött időskornak, a két fiú és az unoka felnövésének, egy művészcsalád konfliktusoktól sem mentes kiteljesedésének. Pierre Vasarely nem antik szobrot farag nagyapjának Philippe Dana újságíró közreműködésével, hanem lüktető családtörténetet ír, amelyben a 20. század kis- és nagytörténelme kavarog, és amiben a művészi elit világa és a vasárnapi gyöngytyúk is elfér. A végeredmény az invenciózus mester, Victor Vasarely életének és munkájának története, az alkotóé, aki mindenben izgalmas lehetőséget talál. Jelen, második, kibővített kiadás számára Pierre Vasarely a mából visszatekintve összefoglalta azokat az eseményeket, melyeket az 2019-es kiadásban nem említett, és azokat, melyek annak megjelenése óta történtek. Fordította (az Epilógussal bezárólag): Vígh Árpád. Az Utószót és a Függeléket Halápi Blanka fordításának átdolgozásával Jeney Zoltán és Balogh Endre készítette. Szaklektor (az Utószó és a Függelék kivételével): Kárpáti Kata. Szerkesztette: Balogh Endre. Olvasószerkesztő: L. Varga Péter. A borítót Szalay Miklós készítette Willy Maywald fotójának felhasználásával. A borító és a hátsó fül fotóit Pierre Vasarely bocsátotta a magyar kiadás rendelkezésére.
Love and Terror
In August 1969, members of charismatic leader Charles Manson's countercultural "family" murdered some of Hollywood's "beautiful people," most famously Sharon Tate, eight and a half months pregnant at the time. The killers left behind evidence intended to implicate Black radicals and to trigger an apocalyptic race war. What happened instead was that the gruesome murders placed the entire counterculture un-der suspicion and then came to mean, in Joan Didion's formulation, the end of the sixties. They have been a cornerstone of the true crime genre ever since. Drawing on newly released archival material of case transcripts, Love and Terror recasts the Manson case as an exemplary site for historical scholarship. The book shows how the standard story of the murders came to be told the way it was. In place of this shopworn narrative, Claudia Verhoeven presents a kaleidoscopic history at the center of which is a far stranger portrait of Manson, the man who became the ultimate murder mastermind in the American mythos. Based on years of investigative research, Love and Terror rewrites the Manson murders as a prism of American culture, an event framed by global avant-gardist movements and revolutionary violence, and an early sign of our age of spectacle. This history is confused, tumultuous, and pell-mell; it is carnival-esque; and it is a downward spiral into terror that, however, is simultaneously thrilling and repetitively compulsive, which is why the song's refrain about the repeat experience of going up and down the helter skelter is also an apt metaphor for the endless retelling of the murders and the never-ending productivity of the Manson industrial complex/culture industry.

Katechizmus Katolíckej cirkvi
Svojím obsahom a určením sa KKC radí medzi tzv. veľké a univerzálne katechizmy. Verne a organicky podáva učenie Svätého písma a živej tradície Cirkvi, autentického učiteľského úradu, ako aj duchovné dedičstvo otcov, učiteľov, svätcov a svätíc Cirkvi. Berie do úvahy náukové vyhlásenia, ktoré Duch Svätý v priebehu stáročí vnukol Cirkvi, a pomáha osvecovať nové situácie a problémy, ktoré sa v minulosti neobjavili. KKC, podobne ako Tridentský katechizmus, sa delí na štyri časti, ktoré Ján Pavol II. prirovnal „k štyrom vetám veľkej symfónie“: 1. Vyznanie viery (v čo Cirkev verí), 2. Slávenie kresťanského tajomstva (sviatosti), 3. Život v Kristovi (život v Duchu a Božie prikázania), 4. Kresťanská modlitba (čo a ako sa Cirkev modlí). Impulz na jeho zostavenie vznikol pri príležitosti spomienky na 20. výročie skončenia koncilu, keď Ján Pavol II. dňa 25. januára 1985 zvolal mimoriadne zasadnutie Biskupskej synody, kde synodálni otcovia vyjadrili želanie, aby sa pripravil koncept katechizmu katolíckeho učenia, ktorý by bol orientačným bodom pre miestne katechizmy. Kompendium katolíckej viery, ktoré vzniklo na základe požiadavky biskupov na ich mimoriadnom zhromaždení, Ján Pavol II. považoval za najzrelšie a najbohatšie ovocie koncilového učenia.
