Első nap az iskolában
Róza egy barna szemű nyúlkisasszony. Most egy kicsit ideges, mert holnap lesz az első napja az iskolában – tanító néniként.
Ahogy a gyerekek is izgulnak az első tanítási nap miatt, úgy Róza tanító néni is aggódik egy picit. Mi lesz, ha valamit nem jól csinál, milyenek lesznek a gyerekek, hogy fog kijönni velük? Persze amint elkezdődik a nap, kiderül, hogy nincs mitől tartaniuk, Róza néni kedves, és a gyerekek is aranyosak. Bár nem megy minden zökkenőmentesen, a mese végére kiderül, egyáltalán nem is olyan vészes az iskolába járás.
Bolhaváros
Van egy hely, Bolhaváros, ami kutyául különleges. A lakói ugyanis mind kutyák, akik nagyon szeretik egymást és a városukat. Sokat vannak a szabadban, beszélgetnek az utcán, a kölykök rohangálnak fel és alá, és a Jutifalat cukrászdában kapni a legfinomabb fagylaltot.
Ám egy napon az egyik kutya autót vesz magának. Nahát, micsoda vagányság! Hamarosan minden bolhavárosi kutya autóval jár mindenhova. Igen ám, de az utcákon már szinte semmi hely sincs a gyalogosoknak, a kutyák már nem beszélgetnek egymással, mindenki csak ül az autójában idegesen, nyomja a dudát, áll a dugóban. Ráadásul szörnyen büdös is van. Hol van már az a barátságos és kedves hely, amit eddig Bolhavárosként ismertek a lakói? De semmi sincs veszve! A kutyák felismerik, hogy sokkal jobb, ha nem mindenhova autóval mennek, és bátran lehet a gyerekeknek ide-oda szaladgálniuk az utcán, és a felnőttek is nyugodtan mehetnek gyalog. Úgy még beszélgetni is tudnak az ismerőseikkel.
Ha egy igazán vicces és szórakoztató könyvet keresel, amiben szóba kerül, hogy miért fontos, hogy ne csak mindig autózzunk, amikor gyalogolni is tudunk, akkor Ivan Mitrevski könyvét neked találták ki.
A Gamble-fiúk 3: Tempting the Bodyguard - A csábító testőr
Mindenkitől képes őt megvédeni, csak saját magától nem...
Alana Gore veszélyben van. Könyörtelen sajtósként
nem kevés ellenséget szerzett magának az évek során, de egy rémületes
zaklatóra még ő sem számított. Testőrre van szüksége, de az egyetlen férfi,
akitől segítséget kérhet, nemcsak hihetetlenül dögös, de köztudott,
hogy az ízlése a nők terén enyhén szólva is merész.
Chandlernek egy szabálya van: soha ne védj olyat, akit meg akarsz dugni.
De Alana esetében csapdába esik a munkája és az egyre növekvő libidója között.
Egyrészt Alanának szüksége van a segítségére. Másrészt viszont
Chandler másra sem vágyik, mint hogy megzabolázza a tüzes nőt,
és addig kínozza gyönyörrel, amíg teljesen alá nem veti magát.
Alana védelemre szorul, Chandler pedig kielégülésre.
De amint átlépik ezt a határt, elszabadul a pokol…

Colour Unbound: Henri Matisse 1941–1954
1941 marked a turning point in the life and work of Henri Matisse. At the age of seventy-two, he underwent major surgery that left him physically fragile. Yet Matisse viewed this moment not as a setback but as an opportunity 'to make the greatest progress of my life'. From that point until his death in 1954, he entered one of the most inspired and productive periods of his career. During those years, he created some of his greatest masterpieces - from the Chapel of the Rosary in Vence to his luminous cut-out gouaches, including Jazz. Vibrant and full of life, his late work stands in striking contrast to his declining physical state: dynamic, immediate and universally accessible.
Published to accompany the major exhibition at the Grand Palais, this catalogue brilliantly captures this late burst of creative vitality. Elegantly designed and beautifully printed, it brings together superb full-page reproductions of Matisse's artworks alongside rarely seen photographs of his studio, taken by renowned photographers such as Adant, Capa, Carone, Cartier-Bresson, Sima and Maywald. This visual dialogue - enriched by expert commentary - offers a deeper understanding of Matisse's final years and vividly conveys the synergy between art and life.
Stone and Sky
'This isn't London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.'

And they'll need them too, because Scotland's Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth ... and murder.
When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.
Something may be stirring beyond the bay - but there's something far stranger in the sky...

Chinese Propaganda Posters. 45th Ed.
With his smooth, warm, ruddy face which radiated light in all directions, Chairman Mao Zedong was a fixture in Chinese propaganda posters produced between the birth of the People’s Republic in 1949 and the early 1980s.
Chairman Mao, portrayed as a stoic superhero (aka the Great Teacher, the Great Leader, the Great Helmsman, the Supreme Commander), appeared in all kinds of situations (inspecting factories, smoking a cigarette with peasant workers, standing by the Yangzi River in a bathrobe, presiding over the bow of a ship, or floating over a sea of red flags), flanked by strong, healthy, ageless men and “masculinized” women and children wearing baggy, sexless, drab clothing. The goal of each poster was to show the Chinese people what sort of behavior was considered morally correct and how great the future of Communist China would be if everyone followed the same path toward utopia by uniting together.
This book brings together a selection of colorful propaganda artworks and cultural artifacts of Chinese propaganda posters, many of which are now extremely rare.

The Art of the Matter
The Art of the Matter - beautifully illustrated, and almost tactile in its language - is centred around the idea that art is where we go to discover the things we don't yet know. As well as its attention to painting, it also engages with the art of managing grief. It offers the reader a way of looking at endurance, both in terms of resilience and everlastingness. Art prompts a kind of expansion in the chest: we become more human, more curious, more alive when we are in the presence of a really great painting. Focusing on the relationship with her painter father, Claire Steele considers his works as posthumous conversations - dynamic, ongoing and full of mysterious surprises. Via a collection of meditative reflections on art, loss, landscape, home and belonging, she explores what it was like to be the child of an artist, and how to retrieve a sense of him from attention to his paintings.
I Am You
A mesmerising historical novel, I Am You is a meditation on gender, an ode to artistic creation, and an unforgettable love story that reimagines the life of renowned painter Maria van Oosterwijck during the Dutch Golden Age. "Spellbinding, wonderfully atmospheric, and impossible to forget" Sarah Jessica Parker"With echoes of Yael van der Wouden’s The Safekeep, I am You is earthy and fleshy and pulsates with suppressed emotions of rage, envy and desire." Elizabeth FremantleAt eight years old, Gerta Pieters is forced to disguise herself as a boy and sent to work for a genteel family. When their daughter Maria sees through Gerta’s ruse, she insists Gerta accompany her to Amsterdam and help her enter the elite, male-dominated art world. While Maria rises in the ranks of society as a painting prodigy, Gerta makes herself invaluable in every way: confidante, muse, lover. But as Gerta steps into her own talents, their relationship fractures into a complex web of obsession and rivalry, until the secrets they keep threaten to unravel everything.
