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
In a peaceful village in the countryside, Yoojin has left behind the stresses of her city life in Seoul and created a book lovers' paradise, a sanctuary for weary souls just like herself. 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.

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.

Wolverine: Weapon X
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsNaked, bloody, and screaming in pain - this is the Wolverine that faced readers in the story arc Weapon X. This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged fans’ expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel’s most brutal and beautiful comic. In 1991, when Weapon X was first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel’s most popular super heroes. For Weapon X, creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a cyberpunk horror story. A shadowy organization abducts Wolverine in order to create “the ultimate killing machine,” and we are plunged into a story of basic, animalistic survival. As Wolverine endures more and more trauma, the lines between reality and consciousness disappear. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary storyline, Jim Rugg’s entry in The Marvel Age of Comics takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel’s most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.
The Hiroshima Men
'An extraordinary and utterly absorbing blend of the historical, the scientific and the human. MacGregor has made us see a terrible event with different eyes. A real achievement' Patrick BishopWe Have Ways Podcast 'Books of the Year' SelectionThe Critic Military Books of the YearAt 8:15 a.m. on August 6th, 1945, the Japanese port city of Hiroshima was struck by the world's first atomic bomb. Built in the US by the top-secret Manhattan Project and delivered by a B-29 Superfortress, a revolutionary long-range bomber, the weapon destroyed large swaths of the city, instantly killing tens of thousands. The world would never be the same again. The Hiroshima Men's unique narrative recounts the decade-long journey towards this first atomic attack. It charts the race for nuclear technology before, and during the Second World War, as the allies fought the axis powers in Europe, North Africa, China, and across the vastness of the Pacific, and is seen through the experiences of several key characters: General Leslie Groves, leader of the Manhattan Project alongside Robert Oppenheimer; pioneering Army Air Force bomber pilot Colonel Paul Tibbets II; the mayor of Hiroshima, Senkichi Awaya, who would die alongside over eighty-thousand of his fellow citizens; and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist John Hersey, who travelled to post-war Japan to expose the devastation the bomb had inflicted upon the city, and in a historic New Yorker article, described in unflinching detail the dangers posed by its deadly after-effect, radiation poisoning. This thrilling account takes the reader from the corridors of the White House to the laboratories and test sites of New Mexico; from the air war above Nazi Germany and the savage reconquest of the Pacific to the deadly firebombing air raids across the Japanese Home Islands. The Hiroshima Men also includes Japanese perspectives - a vital aspect often missing from Western narratives - to complete MacGregor's nuanced, deeply human account of the bombing's meaning and aftermath.
