Hitchcock and Hospitality
Unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Hitchcock and Hospitality argues that the violation of hospitality is a driving force behind Alfred Hitchcock's work. From his television hosting to his cameo appearances to the premises of his stories, the Master of Suspense stages a crisis of authority over access to physical and virtual space. Using the familiarity of his work to make a larger contribution to both film and critical theory, this book engages the French tradition of theorizing hospitality with a keen eye for its feminist implications. But the House of Hitchcock unsettles the scene of hospitality further, down to its hold on the organization of social space. Reading for hospitality not just in grand estates and humble cottages but in cars and trains, motels and apartments, and other mobile and transient spaces—including the virtual space of film itself—Hitchcock and Hospitality tracks the drama of modern social exchange and unfolds the central importance of broken hospitality in the director's work. Films considered intensively include the familiar (Rebecca, Rope, Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds, and Marnie) as well as those that have received less critical attention (Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Saboteur, Lifeboat, and Dial M for Murder). The book also touches on many other Hitchcock films and on key episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
The Last Sunday in May
She’s a single mom, a devoted daughter, and an Indy 500 hopeful daring to dream in an exhilarating and emotional novel about family, ambition, and second chances. Mack Williams was the next big thing in motorsports. Until her wild ways forced her to leave racing in her rearview mirror. Ten years later, she’s a single mom in rural Indiana, with a struggling family business and a dad who needs full-time care. The fastest woman on four wheels now drives car pool, her dreams turned to dust. But Mack’s childhood idol, Janet Joyner, still sees the spark. Famed for breaking gender barriers on the track, Janet gives Mack a last-ditch chance to qualify for the coveted Indy 500. Mack thought her days of impulsive choices were over, but she can’t say no, whatever the risks—moving in with her estranged sister, facing down her daughter’s absentee father, and working with Mack’s new teammate, Leo. He’s gorgeous, supportive, and every kind of distraction Mack can’t afford. Juggling her personal life with a professional dream close within reach, Mack won’t let a second chance slip away again. Win or lose, the stakes have never been higher.

A keresztes hadjáratok - Háborúk a Szentföldért
A 11. században egy hatalmas keresztény sereg, amely a pápa hívására állt fegyverbe, végigsöpört a Földközi-tenger keleti partvidékének iszlám világán, és elfoglalta Jeruzsálemet, egy három vallás által is szentnek tartott várost. Az első keresztes hadjáratot követő kétszáz évben mohamedán és keresztény seregek vívtak brutális háborúkat a Szentföld feletti uralomért. Mindkét oldal szilárdan hitte, hogy Isten akaratát teljesíti be.
Ez a könyv elmeséli e nagyszabású háborúk történetét, a keresztények és a muszlimok szemszögéből is, bemutatva a konfliktus mindkét oldalán állók tapasztalatait és az ügyhöz való hozzáállását. Feltárja a keresztes hadjáratok borzalmas világát.
A téma egyik legkiválóbb szakértője, Thomas Asbridge könyve élénk és átható olvasmányt nyújt a keresztes hadjáratok történetéről. Fáradságos kutatásaira és a Közel-Kelet alapos ismeretére támaszkodva feltárja, mi késztette a muszlimokat és a keresztényeket egyaránt a dzsihád és a keresztes hadjárat eszméinek elfogadására, hogyan formálták át ezek a szent háborúk a középkori életet, és miért visszhangoznak mind a mai napig az emberek emlékezetében.

Kurucký kráľ
Na konci 17. storočia sa Kráľovské Uhorsko zmietalo v protihabsburskom povstaní ako reakcia na tvrdé represie proti protestantom, ktoré presadzoval panovník po potlačení Vešeléniho sprisahania.
Na čelo povstalcov – kurucov bol zvolený Imrich Tököli, ktorého životné osudy, okrem študentských čias, sú úzko spojené s bojom o náboženskú slobodu a obnovenie krajinských zákonov. Cesta k uskutočneniu tohto cieľa bola sprevádzaná množstvom bojových stretov. Nakoniec kurucké vojsko podporované tureckými oddielmi obsadilo veľkú časť Uhorska a Imrich Tököli bol vyhlásený za „Uhorského kráľa.“ Na sneme v Košiciach prijal titul „Knieža časti Uhorska“. Aj v osobnom živote sa mu darilo, oženil sa s Helenou Zrínskou, vdovou po Františkovi I. Rákocim.
Sultán Mehmed IV. sa rozhodol dobyť Viedeň, ale utrpel zdrvujúcu porážku, ktorá bola začiatkom dlhej vojny a priniesla oslobodenie Uhorska spod osmanskej nadvlády. Do týchto udalostí zasiahol varadínsky paša, ktorý zradne zajal Tököliho, za čo sa kuruci chceli krvavo pomstiť a hromadne vstupovali do kráľovskej armády a bojovali proti Turkom. Tököliho prepustili, ale rozklad kuruckého hnutia sa už nedal zvrátiť.
Panovník účastníkom odboja udelil milosť, no aj tak mnoho z nich bolo potrestaných. Najhoršie dopadli obete tzv. Prešovských jatiek.
Tököliho kniežatstvo obsadili žoldnieri Leopolda I. okrem Mukačevského hradu, ktorý bránila jeho manželka Helena. Nakoniec ho neubránila a panovník ju odsúdil na celoživotný pobyt za múrmi kláštora.
Imrich Tököli bol ešte nejaký čas v tureckých službách. Nakoniec odišiel na majetok, ktorý mu daroval sultán na pobreží Egejského mora neďaleko Izmiru. Tu bol v bezpečí, ale pod podmienkou, že ho nikdy neopustí.
Dopraje osud Helene a Imrichovi, že sa ešte stretnú? Ktohovie?
Where the Sea Lavender Grows
A woman restoring a historic cottage on the English coast uncovers a startling connection to the past in a haunting and bittersweet novel about art, loss, and love by the author of Closest Kept. Elise, an artist grieving the loss of her son and a fracturing marriage, is in North Norfolk to restore Marsh House to its former glory, its walls adorned with the fading murals and paintings of its long-ago owner, Lilias Carter-Brown. Elise makes an immediate connection to the house, to Sam—a carpenter and a comfort—and to history itself when an old photograph draws Elise into Lilias’s heartbreaking past. In 1939, with war threatening, Lilias and her sister turn Marsh House into a sanctuary for London evacuees—a young boy and his mother. But it’s the boy’s father, Harry, an enlistee soon to report for duty, with whom Lilias forms an unexpected and intimate bond. When Harry suddenly vanishes without a trace, it changes the course of Lilias’s life forever. Now, as Elise and Sam work to solve the mystery of the disappearance, the restoration of Marsh House is bringing Elise back to life as well—to love again, to put her and Lilias’s pasts to rest, and to finally move on.

Epistemic Injustice
Epistemic Injustice explores the idea that there is a distinctively epistemic kind of injustice - injustice which consists in a wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower. Miranda Fricker distinguishes two forms of epistemic injustice: testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice. Testimonial injustice occurs when prejudice causes a hearer to give a deflated level of credibility to a speaker''s word; as in the case where the police do not believe someone because he is black. Hermeneutical injustice, by contrast, occurs when a gap in collective interpretative resources puts someone at an unfair disadvantage when it comes to making sense of their social experiences. A central case of this sort of injustice is found in the example of a woman who suffers sexual harassment prior to the time when we acquired this critical concept, so that she cannot properly comprehend her own experience, let alone render it communicatively intelligible to others. In connection with each of these forms of epistemic injustice, Fricker develops the idea that our testimonial sensibility needs to incorporate a corrective, anti-prejudicial virtue that can be used to promote a more veridical and a more democratic epistemic practice. Epistemology as it has traditionally been pursued has been impoverished by the lack of any theoretical framework conducive to revealing the ethical and political aspects of our epistemic conduct. Epistemic Injustice shows that virtue epistemology provides a general epistemological idiom in which these issues can be fruitfully and forcefully discussed.
