TransAtlantic
Shortlisted for the Irish Novel of the YearShortlisted for the International Dublin Literary AwardLonglisted for the Man Booker Prize‘A marvellously engrossing journey, studded with ideas and lyrical treats’ The Times______________________________________In 1919, pioneering journalist Emily Ehrlich watches as two young airmen emerge from the carnage of World War One to pilot the very first non-stop transatlantic flight from Newfoundland to the west of Ireland. In 1845 Frederick Douglass, a Black American slave, lands in Ireland to champion ideas of democracy and freedom, only to find a famine unfurling at his feet. And in 1998 Senator George Mitchell criss-crosses the ocean in search of an elusive Irish peace. Stitching these stories intricately together, Colum McCann sets out to explore the fine line between what is real and what is imagined, and the tangled skein of connections that make up our lives. ‘History comes vividly to life in a majestic work’ Sunday Times‘Beautifully hypnotic ... Those who can’t see the point of historical novels will find their answer here’ Emma Donoghue‘Expertly constructed ... The prose is poetically vivid’ Observer
Fantastic Kingdom
'Stimulating and insightful' JONATHAN FREEDLAND'The perfect observer of a UK in crisis' JAMES HAWESWelcome to the Kingdom of Contradictions. Global yet insular, tolerant yet suspicious, proudly pragmatic yet profoundly sentimental. The United Kingdom inspires fierce loyalty and endless argument. Ten years after Brexit, it is as divided as ever. After twenty years of studying Britain, German historian Helene von Bismarck offers an affectionate and insightful portrait of the United Kingdom as seen by an outsider. From the enduring fantasy of Britain as a self-sufficient island to the profound devotion to a global monarchy; from imperial amnesia to modern multiculturalism, she explores the paradoxes and myths that shape British identity. Clear-eyed and witty, Fantastic Kingdom is a letter from a friend, revealing why the question of what unites the country has never mattered more than now, at a time of dramatic geopolitical change when liberal democracy is under attack. Looking backwards into history, and outwards into the global context, she closes the gap between how Britain understands itself and how it is seen abroad.

41
A call for a restoration of professionalism in American government, as illustrated by the life of President George H. W. BushGeorge H. W. Bush is often regarded as the most well-prepared president ever to occupy the Oval Office. Though raised in a world of privilege, Bush was grounded in the belief that character and achievement were essential to serve the common good. In today’s political landscape, these motivations are hardly prided as hallmarks of a great leader—and our nation is experiencing the consequences of these qualities falling out of vogue. Over the course of his education, military service, business career, and decades in public life, Bush absorbed lessons from those around him, shaping a worldview rooted in service, humility, and competence. 41: George H. W. Bush and the End of the American Establishment is not only a study of what Bush learned from mentors and colleagues, but also a reflection on why experience and expertise remain vital to effective presidential leadership. “[George H. W. Bush] gets his due in this brisk, bright, insightful volume.” —Karl Rove, The Wall Street Journal “Bush’s life was defined by his character, friendships, and competitive drive to serve his country. This book explains the wellsprings of that presidential leadership.” —Robert B. Zoellick, Former Secretary of State and White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Author of America in the World: A History of U.S. Diplomacy & Foreign Policy “A timely and inspirational read.” —Jean Becker, Author of The New York Times bestseller The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H.W. Bush’s Post-Presidency “I thought I knew most of what there is to know about President Bush but was proved wrong in reading this book. I highly recommend it.” —David Q. Bates Jr., Former Assistant to the President and Secretary to the Cabinet “Laurence Jurdem has done a remarkable job researching and explaining the origins and influences on George Bush’s life.” —Thomas J. Collamore, Longtime aide and senior government appointee to George H.W. Bush, and currently senior advisor to the George and Barbara Bush Foundation

Railroaded
The New York City subway system is one of the largest and oldest in the world, still carrying traces of the transport systems that came before it. Some of its elevated tracks are remnants of steam railroads, and some tunnels run where canoes served as ferries. For passengers, riding the subway can feel like stepping into another world, dark and dank and sometimes dangerous. Now just imagine what it's like to work there every day. One of the few subway workers who went on to earn a PhD from Harvard, historian Fred Naiden gives readers a firsthand look at what it was like to work as a subway porter, a motorman, and a locomotive engineer during the 1980s. He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.

„A könyvet személyes okok miatt regény formájában írtam. Mégis, akinek füle van, hallani fogja, hogy minden szó az igazságot adja vissza.” – Elisabeth Haich
Ez a számos nyelvre lefordított és világszerte több utánnyomást megélt nagy sikerű regény kapcsolatot teremt a nemzetközileg elismert tanító, Elisabeth Haich huszadik századi európai élete és reinkarnációs emlékei között. A modern kori keretbe ágyazott ősi események azokat az élettapasztalatokat írják le, amelyek a főhőst a spirituális útra vezették.
A misztikus önéletrajzi regény keretbe foglalja az óegyiptomi nagy beavatást, és válogatást ad Ptanhotep főpap tanításaiból, amelyek az univerzum, az emberi lélek és a sors okkult törvényeibe engednek bepillantást. A történet fiatal hősnője számtalan lélegzetelállító lelki kalandon át ismeri fel belső vezetőjét, reinkarnációs élményében azonosítja őt háromezer évvel korábbi tanítójával, a tisztánlátó főpappal, akitől annak idején mint a fáraó elszánt, de éretlen lányaként megkapta a beavatást. A misztika egész területét átfogó, és a karma, valamint a reinkarnáció törvényeit érzékletesen megjelenítő gondolatok, élmények és tapasztalatok egész tárháza nyílik meg előttünk.
Eközben a huszadik századi Európában is nyomon követhetjük az eseményeket, amelyek a gyermekkortól a felnőtté válásig, a háborún és meghatározó találkozásokon keresztül megmutatják, milyen hatalmas erővel bír, ha valaki befelé fordítja tudatának keresőfényét, és minden életeseményt tudatossága növelésére használ föl.
Elisabeth Haich olyan rejtett igazságokat oszt meg olvasóival, amelyek lehetővé teszik, hogy a megértés olyan fokára jussunk el, amely a megvilágosodáshoz szükséges. A Beavatás időtlen klasszikus, amelynek modern nyelvezete spirituális keresők nemzedékeinek jelentett eddig is inspirációt világszerte. Akár úgy olvassuk, mint egy misztikus igazságokat feltáró önéletrajzi regényt, akár úgy, mint Elisabeth Haich megvilágosodáshoz vezető kivételes útjának leírását, mély hatással lesz ránk. A Beavatás olvasása egyet jelent magával a beavatással.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken
If you are in the midst of great soul-sorrow, this book is written for you by someone who has been there too. Christians are often afraid to put language to deep suffering. It doesn't seem "holy" to outwardly grieve our losses, to lament our afflictions, to put up words like modern-day dust and ashes. This book is Sydney Anne Bennett's humble effort to sit beside you in the darkness and say, "I know. I feel it too. Let's go to Jesus right now, for we have nowhere else to go."After becoming disabled just two weeks after her honeymoon, Sydney was forced to reckon with a body that changed overnight and inhabit a faith that no longer fit tidy answers. Diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)--a condition that disrupts the brain's ability to send correction signals to the body—Sydney now lives with daily seizures, mobility loss, and chronic pain. Fearfully and Wonderfully Broken is not about overcoming disability. It is about learning to live truthfully before God and others with unresolved grief, humiliating dependence, and lingering limitations. It is about recognizing that faith does not resolve all questions neatly, and that dignity, courage, and steadfastness may remain even when independence disappears. God is present in bodies that no longer work as they once did. His presence makes broken things fearful and wonderful. This book is the companion Sydney wanted to have when she first became sick. Whether you are struggling with physical pain, disability, or illness, or are working through chapters of grief of a totally different kind, the answer to pain is always the same: Jesus will redeem your brokenness. He is building something—something fearful, yes. But also something wonderful.
Heartbeats
THE PERFECT GIFT FOR FATHER'S DAYNo one had ever played tennis quite like Björn Borg. With his incredible athleticism, powerful shot-making and distinctive style, he became a sensation after he burst onto the scene aged just 15. As he ascended to the pinnacle of men's tennis, Borg experienced unprecedented stardom and success that changed the game forever. Hailed as one of the most talented players to ever step onto a tennis court, Borg collected the game's highest honours, including eleven Grand Slam titles - with five consecutive Wimbledon titles - establishing himself as one of the greatest of all time. Then he stunned the sporting world by announcing his retirement at the age of 26 and disappeared from tennis. After all these years of silence, Borg is ready to share everything. In this candid memoir, Borg takes us through all the major moments in his career, shares insights into his rivalry with John McEnroe - considered one of the best in the sport's history - and their legendary 1980 Wimbledon final, and explains his shock retirement. Borg writes candidly about his personal life - for so long kept under wraps - including his childhood, his early stardom and his uncomfortable relationship with fame, alongside all the highs and lows of his unmatched career. For the first time, readers will get Borg's own account of his career, his choices, and the experiences that shaped him as a person, from his childhood right up to today. This look behind the curtain at an enigmatic player who has fascinated generations of tennis fans, is ultimately a fascinating look at the making of sporting legend and, for readers who know nothing about tennis, a rare glimpse into an extraordinary, compelling life.
