Murder In Paris 68
In 1960s Paris, the high-life and the low-life go hand in hand. It is a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos and night clubs with a cast of actresses, petty criminals, high-level gangsters and compromised politicians. And with French cinema taking the world by storm, the man at the dark heart of it all is an enigmatic film star dubbed 'the most beautiful man in the world'.
With a shady past and a taste for bad company, Alain Delon lives on the edge. But when a dead body turns up in the outskirts of Paris that turns out to be his associate, Stevan, questions begin to be asked. That Delon shot to stardom playing the stylish and murderous Tom Ripley does not go unnoticed. Is art imitating life or is life imitating art? And who killed Stevan Markovic?
Edward Chisholm, author of the acclaimed A Waiter In Paris submerses the reader into the city's demimonde and draws us intimately into events as they unfold. And as we inhabit the lives of the players in this extraordinary true-life drama, we witness what became to be known as The Markovic Affair from the inside, as it spirals out of control and not only pulls down Alain Delon but everyone in his orbit.
Israel: What Went Wrong
A leading genocide scholar explores the history of Zionism, Israel's lurch towards extreme oppression and violence, and why it stands accused of crimes against humanity.
Professor Omer Bartov was born on a kibbutz, grew up in Tel Aviv and served in the Israel Defence Forces during the Yom Kippur War. He went on to become an expert on the German army and the Holocaust, before turning his attention to his native country.
In Israel: What Went Wrong?, Bartov explores the transformation of Zionism from a movement of Jewish emancipation and liberation into a state ideology of ethno-nationalism, exclusion and violent domination of Palestinians. He traces the process whereby Israel - whose establishment in 1948 received international support in the aftermath of the Holocaust - now faces accusations of war crimes and genocide.
What are the implications of Israel's near total impunity for the post-1945 regime of international law? And how do we understand the widespread support for these policies by Israel's Jewish citizens?
The result is a searing and urgent critique that addresses today's debates over Zionism, genocide, and the future of Israel with rigour and depth.
Consolations
Why do some loves endure while others fade? Is happiness something we can learn? Why do some things feel like work and others like leisure?
Every new page of Consolations offers a thought-provoking idea about life - from friendship and family arguments to ageing and narcissism. Renowned classicist Irene Vallejo shows us how each of these ideas has its roots in ancient times, drawing on the wisdom of Aristotle and Seneca, as well as lesser known philosophy and history.
Each entry brings a surprising insight, and helps us to think differently about our daily life. These are fascinating little gems to read every day, and to savour slowly.
The Optimized Human
If you want to improve your life, health and happiness you need to upgrade the fundamentals: sleep, nutrition, exercise, work and the mind. And the best way to do this is through applying science, nutrition and even technology to these areas of our lives - the art known as 'biohacking'.
But targeting all of these areas individually can feel overwhelming - and that's where this book comes in. While there is an almost endless array of research into what may, or may not, help your health, The Optimized Human harnesses the most cutting-edge information on science, diet and technology and turns them into a practical, manageable and customizable plan that will revolutionize every area of your wellbeing.
It is the missing manual of the human body, and an essential addition to the library, work desk, kitchen, gym, suitcase or bedroom of anyone who wants to get the best out of their life.
The Lost Voices of Pompeii
We all know how the people of Pompeii died. But what about how they lived?
In 24 hours, Pompeii will vanish.
The morning of the eruption was a day like any other. Julia Felix opens her tavern for another day of business, defying every convention that says a woman can't succeed alone. Petrinus, newly freed from slavery, wrestles with an impossible decision about his future. Politician Gaius Cuspius Pansa prepares to host the Plebian Games, a spectacle that will cement his power forever.
In 24 hours, seven lives will change forever.
Drawing on the latest archaeological discoveries, Dr Jess Venner brings the ancient streets to life through the eyes of those who lived, worked, loved and ultimately met their fate in Pompeii. Here is a community more complex, diverse and human than we ever imagined.
Pompeii is remembered for its destruction, but here we discover the vibrant lives that came before. Richly evocative and immersive, The Lost Voices of Pompeii vividly recreates the final twenty-four hours before the eruption, reminding us exactly what – and who – was lost in 79 AD.
This is the story of everything, and everyone, that was lost.
For anyone who has ever walked the ruins of Pompeii and wondered what lives beneath the ash, this is the book that answers that question.
Kaland és feladványok - A titkok múzeuma
Készülj fel egy éjszakai kalandra a Régiségek Múzeumában, ahol a Talányos család oldalán 182 trükkös rejtvényen keresztül kell feltárnod a kiállított kincsek között megbújó titkokat! A család egy felejthetetlen napot tölt a múzeumban, ám annyira elmerülnek a kincsekben, hogy észre sem veszik a zárórát.

Remember Me Tomorrow - Holnap is emlékezz rám
EGY ELTŰNT DIÁK. EGY REJTÉLYES NYOMOZÁS. EGY LASSAN KIBONTAKOZÓ SZERELEM.
Az East House a campus legrégebbi és legkevésbé népszerű kollégiuma, de az elsőéves, magányos Aleeza Kassam számára mégis vonzerővel bír: innen tűnt el öt hónappal korábban Jay Hoque, a sármos és zárkózott diák. Egy feltörekvő oknyomozó újságírónak, mint amilyen Aleeza, ez ellenállhatatlan rejtély.
Amikor azonban elkezd üzeneteket kapni Jaytől, a titok váratlan fordulatot vesz – ugyanis az üzenetek nemcsak Aleeza saját kollégiumi szobájából érkeznek, hanem egyenesen a múltból, mindössze hetekkel Jay eltűnése előttről.
Aleeza és Jay ugyanabban a térben – de más időben – megtapasztalják a lehetetlent, és együtt próbálják megakadályozni a fiú eltűnését. Egy időparadoxon, ami az univerzum pusztulásával fenyeget, olyan kockázat, amit vállalniuk kell.
Aleeza Jay gyanús barátai, ellenségei és exei nyomába ered, hogy kiderítse, mi történt a fiúval. Vagy mi fog történni. A helyzet azonban tovább bonyolódik, amikor Aleeza érzéseket kezd táplálni elbűvölő új lakótársa iránt – bárhol és bármikor is legyen ő…
„Mind a krimik, mind az időutazós történetek rajongóinak elnyeri a tetszését.” – The Book Decoder blog

Úgyhogy tedd szépen vissza ezt a könyvet a polcra, és TŰZZ INNEN!
Nora ismét veszélyes kalandra indul, hogy megtalálja eltűnt barátját, bár arra nem számít, hogy a gyerekek titokban csatlakoznak hozzá. Vajon a tökéletlen triónak sikerül megállítania a gonosztevőt, mielőtt késő lenne?

The grave is believed to hail from the Viking Age, but Rhona's analysis of the content points to more recent and sinister evil. And a shadow is thrown over the investigation when the skeleton is finally identified – and unsettling connections emerge between the victim and the very people trying to solve.

Failure is Always An Option
“Pretty marvellous. A fabulous autobiography” Irvine Welsh“Full of beautiful, mad stories” Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6The long awaited autobiography from the musical maverick, polymath and Beta Band front man. “Self-destructive pop saboteurs who did it all wrong in all the right ways. Utterly brilliant” —NMESteve Mason is a Scottish singer songwriter and founding member of the Beta Band. Formed in 1996 the band were quickly embraced in the media as The Next Big Thing and hailed by famous fans from Radiohead to Noel Gallagher. They were an idiosyncratic, self-contained, Dadaist counterpoint to the bloated Britpop corpse as it metastasized in the late ‘90s. The band split in 2004, owing their record label L1.2m. Since 2004, front man and songwriter Steve Mason has forged a singular, highly lauded solo career, releasing 5 albums under his own name and in April this year the Beta Band reformed to announce their first shows and the UK and U.S in over twenty years. “I see this book as a picture of someone who was lost, with zero confidence and had no idea what he was supposed to do to with his life. But through music, he found something approaching belief in himself which carried him over the next 30 years into all manner of success, failure and adventure. All the while battling the demons on constant patrol in his mind until, after they nearly finished him off, he focused his full attention on purging them from of aspect of his life. It’s a story of youth culture, failure, success, sadness and redemption” Steve Mason, Brighton, August 2025
Breaking Waves
A warm, reflective and uplifting memoir about healing wounds, reclaiming a voice and discovering freedom through the open water. The open water. To the uninitiated, it represents the unknown, an expanse of mystery and uncertainty. But to those who brave the wild waters, it is so much more. A space to heal. A place of communion. A balm to quieten the mind, soothe the soul, and allow you to reconnect with the world and yourself. Emma Simpson discovered wild swimming after a period of immense pain. Lost in grief, disillusioned with life, and feeling increasingly untethered from the world, she instinctively felt the pull of the water. There she found an unexpected source of hope and strength, a profound sense of connection, and a glorious sisterhood of women - each with their own remarkable stories to tell. Interweaving the tales of these inspirational women with reflections on her own experiences, Emma explores themes ranging from devastating loss to birth and rebirth, and from chronic illness to body confidence. Whether describing the taste of an iceberg or a kiss from a baby whale, Breaking Waves is a love letter to womanhood and the open water. It's also a celebration of community, renewal and the power of writing your own life story. Above all else, it is a joyous celebration of going with the flow. AUTHOR: Emma Simpson is a wild swimmer who spent a couple of decades being distracted by a career as an air traffic controller. After experiencing two life-wrenching events, Emma rediscovered her pen and her passion for storytelling at the same time as discovering how transformational cold-water swimming was for her health, wellbeing, and sense of connection with the world.

The Meadow Where Time Stands Still
'Probably the greatest Russian poet of [the 20th] century' New York Times'We know the sources of Pushkin and Blok, but who will tell us from where that new, divine harmony, Mandelshtam's poetry, came from?' Anna AkhmatovaWith a foreword by Nadezhda MandelshtamOsip Mandelshtam, arguably the greatest Russian poet of the twentieth century, died in a Stalinist prison camp at the age of forty-seven. It was not his first arrest - he had already been imprisoned multiple times, as well as tortured, exiled, and blacklisted for the criticism of the Soviet state implicit in his verse. And yet many of his poems survived attempted purges - often hidden in the unlikeliest places, and protected at great risk by his friends and admirers.This volume collects the best of his work, including poems he was unable to publish in his lifetime. Dense and sonorous, his poetry magnificently merges the European past at its best with Russian experience at its worst. Full of light and beauty, bitterness and desolation, Mandelshtam's verse is a powerful expression of the struggle to bear injustice and the poignant dream of a better world.Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by James Greene.Osip Mandelshtam was born into a Jewish family in Warsaw in 1891, but grew up chiefly in St Petersburg. His father was a leather merchant, and their existence was comfortable, in spite of the widespread persecution of Jews in turn-of-the-century Russia. Mandelshtam travelled in Europe and attended university, but abandoned his studies early to devote himself to writing. His first collection, Stone, published when he was only twenty-two, immediately established him as one of Russia's foremost poets. The revolution and the Soviet rule that followed created immense difficulties for Mandelshtam. Unwilling to bend his art to political ends, and increasingly critical of Stalin's leadership, he was imprisoned, tortured, exiled and generally persecuted. He continued to write, releasing another major collection, Tristia, and entrusting poems to his wife Nadezhda and his literary friends, who kept many of his works hidden from the authorities. Once more arrested, on his way to a prison camp, Mandelshtam died of heart failure, according to officials, in 1938.James Greene was born in Berlin in 1938. He studied French and Russian at Oxford. A poet himself, and a prize-winning translator, he worked on several major writers in addition to Mandelshtam, including Fernando Pessoa and Afanasy Fet. He died in 2023.
