Ape and Essence
Huxley's dystopian classic is a nightmare vision of the fate of humanity in a post-nuclear world.
After a devastating global catastrophe, a group of scientists arrives in a ruined future shaped by fear, ritual and violence. Humanity has survived - but at a terrible cost, and not in any form they recognise. Ape and Essence is Aldous Huxley's bleak, satirical vision of civilisation after collapse. Fierce, strange and provocative, it confronts the destructive impulses that persist even after the world has ended.

Bewitched
Edith Wharton's ghost stories whisper of passion, exile, and the things we cannot forget
In an old Dorset house, a couple settle into a life of quiet comfort - until a presence makes itself felt. At a country gathering, a man is forced to confront a long-buried secret he has tried to outrun. In a small New England community, suspicion gathers around a widower believed to be under the spell of a dead woman. Bewitched brings together three of Edith Wharton's most unsettling ghost stories. Elegant and controlled, they trace the lingering effects of guilt, secrecy and moral judgement - and the moment when the repressed makes its reappearance.
Includes the stories: Afterward, The Eyes and Bewitched

Crucible of Light
Focusing on major turning points, individual stories, and key places, from Mecca to Cordoba, from Damascus to Venice, and from Vienna to Istanbul, Drayson tracks the themes that unite us - classical learning preserved in Islamic libraries, the enduring influence of Moorish architecture and design, the food we share, the goods we have traded, and the continuing dialogue between individuals and cultures that has permeated Europe's history and shaped its borders.
It is a history that sweeps across cities and continents, from Spanish patios and palaces to Ottoman-inspired coffee houses in seventeenth-century London to the Mezquita in Cordoba, once a mosque, now a cathedral, the physical embodiment of the ongoing discourse that continues to shape European identity.
Down by the Riverside
A flood brings not only rising waters but the full force of a brutal, racist world
With the Mississippi flooding, a Black farmer struggles to get his pregnant wife to safety. In the chaos, a single desperate decision sets off a chain of events that cannot be undone. Down By the Riverside is Richard Wright's unflinching novella of race, power and consequence. Starkly told and painfully resonant, it captures how quickly the world can turn - and who is forced to pay the price.

Midsummer Sisters (A Graphic Novel)
Midsummer Sisters is a contemporary graphic novel about two sisters who find themselves watching over a wild foal during a summer of change. A stunning story about the power of sisterhood.
Kenzie and Quinn aren't just stepsisters ? they're best friends. They're spending the summer with their grandmother, kayaking in the marshy coastal islands she calls home. The Outer Banks are also home to a herd of wild ponies, and the girls fall in love with a fragile newborn foal that they name Starling.
But even blue skies and sandy beaches can't distract from what's going on back home. Things between their parents aren't the way they used to be, and the constant fights have left Kenzie and Quinn anxious and confused. They can't remember a time when they weren't a family. If their parents divorce and Quinn and her mom move away, will they even still be sisters ... or will they be nothing?
As their world shifts around them, the girls swear to do the one thing they can: keep Starling safe.
Award-winning cartoonist Niki Smith delivers a stunning story set during a summer of change. Filled with gorgeous and expressive illustrations, Midsummer Sisters is a celebration of the beauty of wild horses, as powerful as the unbreakable bond between sisters.
Partners in Crime
Agatha Christie's complete Tommy and Tuppence short story collection.
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford were restless for adventure, so when they were asked to take over Blunt's International Detective Agency, they leapt at the chance.
After their triumphant recovery of a pink pearl, intriguing cases kept on coming their way: a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates.
Down Old Roads
"This is the E8," my father said. "It runs from London to Moscow."
For a million years people have been travelling throughout Europe, from the mysterious homo antecessor who left his footprints on the coast of England to travellers on the motorways of today. Under every footstep lies an older one, under every paved road a donkey trail or wagon rut, under every footpath the prints of a hunter or his prey.
And yet the long, nation-spanning roads of Europe don't hold a special place in the imaginations and identities of its residents. No classic songs have been written about the E8, the way Americans have written about Route 66. Are Europeans too attached to their own home patch? Or have they too often seen armies marching towards them along those roads?
Eager to answer that question, Mathijs Deen goes in search of the warriors, refugees, bandits, pilgrims, fortune-seekers, conquerors and racers who advanced into history along the roads of Europe. From Boekelo in the Netherlands to Smolensk on the Dnieper, and from the first prehistoric Europeans to the barons who raced the open roads of Europe in the early 20th century, Down Old Roads is both a journey through Europe and a trip through time.
"It's easy to be swept away by Deen's delightful prose" New Statesman on The Boundless River
Translated from the Dutch by Jane Hedley-Prole and Jonathan Reeder
Nagytakarítás
Itt a nyár, és zajlik az Edinburghi Fesztivál. A látogatók épp sorban állnak, hogy bejussanak egy rádióműsor felvételére, amikor szemtanúi lesznek egy koccanásnak, amely erőszakhoz, sőt majdnem gyilkossághoz vezet.
Az eset minden érintett életét felforgatja; a korábban katonaként, rendőrként és magánnyomozóként is dolgozó Jackson Brodie nem több ártatlan kívülállónál – mégis gyanúsítottá válik egy gyilkossági ügyben. Miközben sokasodnak a holttestek, és a különálló történetek szép lassan összefonódnak, a szereplők kapcsolódásai, mint egy matrjoskababa részei, beépülnek egymás életébe. Mindannyian szeretetre, pénzre, megváltásra vagy menekülésre vágynak, ám végső soron az igazi énjükkel szembesülnek.

Not Another Love Song - Csak szerelmes dalt ne!
Szenvedélyből született szimfónia!
Gwen Jackson és Xander Thorne született muzsikusok, nagyon eltérő háttérrel. Xander klasszikus zenével foglalkozó családba született, a fiatalon árvaságra jutott Gwen viszont ösztönös tehetség, aki viszonylag későn kezdett el zenélni.
Gwen egy esküvői fellépésén összefut Xanderrel. A csellista nem emlékszik a lányra, holott egy évig zenéltek közösen egy szimfonikus zenekarban. Gwent viszont ennél is jobban dühíti, hogy a férfi arrogánsan kritizálja az előadásmódját.
Amikor Gwennek felajánlják az első hegedűs posztját, amire Xander titokban évek óta áhítozik, a köztük feszülő ellentét még tovább erősödik.
Ahogy a közös munka során elkezdik felfedezni és beismerni egymás iránti érzelmeiket, egyre nyilvánvalóbbá válik, hogy különleges kapcsolatuknak köszönhetően olyan előadást tudnak létrehozni, ami mindenkit lenyűgöz.
De vajon lassan kibontakozó románcuk képes lesz kibírni a sikerrel járó nyomást?
