Mr. Ladislaw és még két szerelmi zűrzavar - Middlemarch (4.)
„Eliot regényében nem a szavazat ára a lényeg – hanem hogy mi ösztönöz egy embert a politikai állásfoglalásra.” – Adam Roberts
Middlemarchban mindenki ugyanarról beszél. Vajon ki mit örököl a gazdagon elhunyt Peter Featherstone után? A rokonság összegyűlik a temetésre és a végrendelet meghallgatására. Az öreg bizony holtában is épp oly ravasz, mint éltében!
Will, Casaubon úr unokaöccse is a városba érkezik. A fiatalembernek Brooke úr ajánl állást az újságnál, illetve képviselői pályafutásának egyengetésében kéri Will segítségét. Brooke úr ugyanis beleártja magát a politikába. A szavazatvásárlásoktól, választási körzethatárok átrajzolásától és az általános reformtól hangos politikába.
Casaubon úr nem boldog e fejlemények hallatán. Főleg hogy Will többször is meglátogatja őket, és telebeszéli Mrs. Casaubon – az ifjú Dorothea – fejét mindenféle modern eszmével.
Middlemarchban még két szerelmespár sorsa vesz nem várt fordulatot: a Garth család anyagi gondjai egy csapásra megoldódnak, és Marynek immár nem csak Fred udvarol…
Vincy úr pedig meggondolja magát: mégsem támogatja lánya, Rosamond és Dr. Lydgate házasságkötését!
A Middlemarch-sorozat nyolc különleges kötetben jelenik meg. A negyedik, keményfedeles könyv különleges, interaktív illusztrációt tartalmaz!
Soyangri Book Kitchen

With its book-filled shelves and wafts of delicious food from the café, Soyangri Book Kitchen offers its guests a true escape: the warm embrace of an overnight bookstay.
Over one year, as the seasons change, seven people at a turning point in their lives find their way to Yoojin's door. Among them are a singer grappling with an identity crisis, a promising lawyer confronted with a daunting medical diagnosis, and a young musical director whose dreams have been stifled. As they arrive in Soyangri, each of them will find their life subtly transformed by the magic of its books and the kindness of its people.
O slavných psech a jejich lidech (a naopak)
Proč lidé tolik milují své psy? Kde se vzalo ono odvěké pouto, které přetrvává napříč staletími? Daňa Horáková nachází odpovědi v příbězích o lidech, pro které pes patří k rodině, a tvrdí: „Teploučké štěně – které se k tobě důvěryhodně přitulí, aby si zdřímlo, a ty pak nehnutě dřepíš hodinu po hodině, abys je neprobudil –, je daleko účinnější terapie než hrst antidepresiv – jednou pejskař, navždy pejskař.“ Což by nepochybně podepsal i Sigmund Freud, který svého psa miloval víc než svého vnuka; Maria Callas, která se svým pudlíkem intonovala duety; Apple-tvůrce Steve Jobs, který díky své Jenny začal zpochybňovat svůj mrazivý perfekcionismus; Agatha Christie, která svému foxteriérovi věnovala román; Paul McCartney, který svou fenku zvěčnil v písni Martha, Franz Kafka a Jaroslav Hašek, císařovna Sisi a Picasso… Danina knížka zahřeje u srdce, což v dnešní době potřebujeme víc než kdy jindy.

A viskó - Éldekorált kiadás
„Szinte látta, ahogy egy fekete szakadék nyílik meg a padlón a fegyver mögött, amelyre meredt, sötét verem, ami a remény utolsó foszlányait is kiszippantja a szívéből. Ha végezne magával, azzal jól visszavághatna Istennek - már ha Isten egyáltalán létezik.”
Mackenzie „Mack” Allen Philips titokzatos levelet kap Nagy Szomorúsága negyedik évében. Az állítólagosan Istentől származó üzenet abba az elhagyott házikóba - a viskóba - invitálja, ahol négy évvel ezelőtt rátaláltak elrabolt és valószínűleg meggyilkolt lánya, Missy véres ruháira. Mack maga sem igazán tudja, miért, de egy szeles délután elindul az oregoni vadonban található viskóba, vissza legsötétebb rémálmába. És amit ott talál, örökre megváltoztatja a világát.
Wm. Paul Young regénye, amely azt az örök kérdést boncolgatja, hogy hol található Isten az elviselhetetlen fájdalommal teli világban, az elmúlt két évtized egyik legsikeresebb és legnagyobb hatású könyve világszerte. A magyar olvasók most a régóta várt folytatás közelgő megjelenése alkalmából új fordításban vehetik kézbe A viskót.
Mother Tongue
In this emotionally rich first memoir, the New York Times bestselling author of True Biz retraces her path out of the hearing world and into the deaf community - and seeks to understand the journeys her own children must take.Sara Nović''s early years were filled with music, Bible study, and a strong desire to fit in. But when she failed her school''s mandated hearing test, her worldview was thrown into chaos. Desperate not to be marked as different, she told no one, staying in the hearing world for as long as she could by brute force. Eventually unable to ignore the fact that she was deaf, Nović sought out other deaf people and was welcomed into a tight knit community rooted in the beauty and joy of American Sign Language. Nović realized that rather than maintaining the facade of her old life or trying to straddle two worlds, she would need to cultivate a life in the space between. Now the mother of two young sons - one, biological and hearing, the other, adopted and deaf-Nović reflects on her life both before and after parenthood. She''s raising her children within the deaf world, offering them things her younger self needed, all the while knowing that as her children grow, their own paths will branch off from hers in ways she cannot fully predict or plan for. Interwoven with Novic''s personal story is a remarkable portrait of America through reflections on some of its most complex histories: the rise of the Christian right, the thorny world of international adoption, and above all, the deaf and disabled communities'' stubborn survival in the face of persistent oppression. Nović''s clear, bold voice is one readers will hold onto, learn from, argue with, and be inspired by, as she asks us to recognize difference as a source of opportunity rather than fear, as a chance to draw families and communities together, and to build something new.

Sodom and Gomorrah
'the metamorphosis of Monsieur de Charlus into a new person was so complete that... everything which had appeared incoherent to me until then, was becoming intelligible, and self-evident'The fourth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time extends the protagonist's journey of discovery into the social world of fin-de-siecle France. As the biblically inflected title, Sodom and Gomorrah, suggests, however, this world has taken on a new colouring. Through a succession of observations--both voyeuristic and overt--Proust's protagonist encounters and begins to appreciate the great diversity of sexual identities and proclivities that underpin human relations. At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter, gossip, and position-taking, is the Baron de Charlus, whose relationship with the working-class Charlie Morel is a central preoccupation of the narrative. This volume lays bare the ways in which ambitions and desires are nurtured, projected, masked, and exposed. Suffering, in love, is rarely far away. Sodom and Gomorrah explores frictions between the social classes via the Verdurins' upward climb and the ways in which the impulses of desire can cut across society's arbitrary boundaries. The narrator recounts his retrospective devastation at the death of his grandmother, and while his connection to Albertine deepens, it is his uncertainty about the true nature of her sexual identity that binds him closer to her, leading to a fraught denouement that paves the way for the next, fateful phase of their relationship. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Hal Foster’s Tarzan
In 1928 commercial artist Hal Foster took a job to turn Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel Tarzan of the Apes into a 60-installment black and white newspaper comic. Initially, no American papers wanted it, so it premiered in England, to great acclaim. When U.S. papers picked it up and wanted more, Foster wasn't interested. It was only in 1931, with the Great Depression threatening his family with starvation, that he consented to take it on as a full color, full page Sunday comic, still calling the low-paid job "a bit of pottage."That bit of pottage fed him for the next seven years, as Tarzan became the first adventure comic, and one of the most beloved Sunday strips in America. Though newspapers complained about the violence (Burroughs countered that Tarzan's success was the result of a "human weakness for gory and gruesome situations") and the incessant nudity (the writer's script notes asked for "a great deal of female nakedness") readers found Tarzan's adventures with ancient Egyptians, modern criminals, Vikings, dinosaurs, killer apes, and a slew of provocative queens and princesses mesmerizing, right up until Foster handed off the strip to Burne Hogarth in mid-1937.Produced from original newspapers, preserving the color and texture of the Ben Day dot coloring process distinctive to vintage comics, Hal Foster's Tarzan carries you back to Sunday morning, belly-down on the living room rug, "funnies" spread before you, lost in a world of exotic adventure while mom whips up your own bowl of oatmeal pottage.Tarzan Hal Foster newspaper strips + ERB, Inc.
