Last Night in Brooklyn
New York Times-bestselling author Xochitl Gonzalez delivers a captivating story about a young woman whose life becomes ensnared in her glamorous neighbour’s secret past SPRING, 2007 At twenty-six, Alicia Canales Forten feels smothered by her future. She’s in a long-distance relationship, living at home with her mother’s beliefs, saving up for her wedding to a future doctor. But after Alicia ventures out one night in the neighbourhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, she finds herself lured by the siren song of youth and possibility that the striving crowd of creatives holds, and moves in. No one embodies this milieu more than La Garza, a larger-than-life, up-and-coming fashion designer whose epic house parties fuel neighbourhood lore. La Garza’s life, observed by Alicia from her apartment across the street, seems to hold the allure and fearlessness Alicia has never dared to imagine for herself. But when Alicia’s wealthy banker cousin moves to the neighbourhood, she finds herself increasingly drawn into both his and La Garza’s precarious lives. Against the backdrop of a potentially life-changing presidential election and a looming once-in-a-generation fiscal crisis, Last Night in Brooklyn explores the dark compromise of the American Dream for people of colour living, unknowingly, in the twilight of a cultural moment. It is a story about everything money can buy – and the destruction of what it can’t.

Power Play
In Power Play, leading game industry expert George E. Osborn reveals how video games - the world's largest entertainment medium - are being used by autocrats, populists and violent extremists to influence the real world around us.
Video games are the world's largest entertainment medium. They are played by billions of people of all ages every year, generating hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue.
But they are more than an entertainment product. They connect people across the globe, creating digital third places where people talk, share ideas and build identities, fostering diverse communities capable of dominating the digital discourse now shaping our reality.
While democracies continue to underestimate the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity to control, co-opt or collaborate with video game communities to wield the power of these vast information ecosystems.
Saudi Arabia is spending tens of billions of dollars acquiring video games businesses to wash its reputation. Russia has funded video game development to help spread disinformation about the war in Ukraine. Steve Bannon utilised tactics deployed by online video game communities to propel Donald Trump into the White House, and Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin even carved video game references into his bullets.
Supported by the insights of politicians, academics and industry experts, Power Play is the vital guide for understanding this new political frontier, highlighting what democracies must do to protect and harness the immense power of play before the essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.
The Favourite
The Fisher family are on holiday . . .
Mum, Dad. And their three grown-up daughters
- Alex, Nancy and Eva - plus their young families.
Sisters with differences, yes -
but these are quickly glossed over.
This is not a family of secrets, lies or even half-truths.
Or so they tell themselves.
Right up until Dad accidentally drops a bombshell:
he has a favourite . . .
And suddenly everything unravels.
All the secrets. All the lies. The not even half-truths.
But might it take coming apart to bring this family back together?
Letters To Sartre
These intimate love letters reveal the open relationship between de Beauvoir and Sartre, two of the twentieth century's groundbreaking thinkers.
Simone de Beauvoir lived her feminist philosophy. She never married or had children, she had affairs with both men and women, and she actively defied the norms for women of her era. At the same time, she conducted an intense, long-term relationship with the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, whom she referred to as her husband.
De Beauvoir and Sartre met as philosophy students in Paris in 1929. For over fifty years, until their deaths in the 1980s, the couple had a close open relationship. This book contains her letters to him, revealing the details of her everyday life and her passion for the man who shared her ideals. It is an intimate portrait of a woman living in an adventurous, complicated way in the name of individual freedom.
Half-Blood - Félvérek - Szövetség 0.5 és 1.
Meg fogod ölni azokat, akiket szeretsz. A véredben van, ez a sorsod.
A tizenhét éves Alex és édesanyja három éve szökött el a Szövetségből. Itt tanulnak az istenek tisztavérű leszármazottai, az olyan félig halandókat pedig, mint Alex, arra képezik ki, hogy elpusztítsák a tisztákra veszélyes daimónokat. Amikor azonban Alex egy támadás után kénytelen visszatérni a Szövetségbe, két lehetőség áll előtte: vagy a tiszták szolgálója lesz, vagy kétszer olyan keményen edz, mint a többiek, hogy behozza a lemaradását.
Bár a második lehetőség tűnik a könnyebb útnak, a dolgok még bonyolultabbá válnak, amikor a tisztavérű Aiden önként jelentkezik arra, hogy felkészíti a lányt. Aiden ugyanis nemcsak vonzó, hanem tökéletesen megérti Alexet. De a szabályok szerint a tiszták és a félvérek között szigorúan tilos bármiféle kapcsolat.
Csakhogy nem az Aiden iránt érzett szerelme jelenti a legnagyobb problémát Alex számára – megtudja, hogy az anyja miért vitte el a Szövetségből, és a daimónok is egyre közelebb kerülnek hozzá. Ha életben akar maradni, fel kell vennie a harcot… Még akkor is, ha ezzel önhibáján kívül mások halálát okozza majd.
A kötet tartalmazza a Daimón előzménytörténetként szolgáló kisregényt is, ami minden eseményt elindított!
Tedd teljessé az élményt!

Delusions of Paradise
When Maiwand Banayee was 16, he wanted to become a suicide bomber for the Taliban. In this inspiring tale of survival and self-discovery, the reader will follow Maiwand's journey down a dark path and his ultimate redemption. Growing up in Kabul amid the Afghan wars, he witnessed atrocities that no child should ever see - rotting corpses, starving families, a neighbourhood torn apart. He escaped to a refugee camp in Pakistan, where religious militants began the gradual grooming of Maiwand and other Afghan boys. These confused and traumatised children were indoctrinated, radicalised and prepared to die in the name of a religious war. But Maiwand escaped this life. Fleeing Afghanistan, he had a life-altering crisis of faith, confidence and meaning, finding new purpose and rebuilding himself. Maiwand taught himself how to read and write in English, and here tells his astonishing story in crystalline prose. Delusions of Paradise offers a powerful warning about the dangers of radical religion, and is a stunning celebration of self-determination and redemption from an important new voice. AUTHOR: Maiwand Banayee was born in in Kabul at the onset of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. By the time he was twelve the country was engulfed in civil war and he fled to a refugee camp, where he enrolled in a madrassa and joined the Taliban. At 22 he rejected Islamic extremism and sought asylum in the UK, eventually living in Ireland before returning to England. He has been published in Stinging Fly and War, Literature & the Arts: An International Journal of the Humanities. This is his first book.

As Robbie pushes for answers, evidence vanishes, stories shift, and cases that should have nothing in common start to overlap. Soon he is drawn into a net of deceit that reaches far beyond the courtroom. And as it tightens, it’s clear events are being steered from the shadows. With his ex-cop father causing chaos, an old flame back in his life, and pressure mounting from every direction, Robbie is forced to make a call: protect himself or keep digging.

Mr Moonlight
The definitive biography of Brian Epstein – the man who made the Beatles – by leading Beatles biographer Philip Norman. Brian Epstein didn’t just manage the Beatles – he transformed them into the most famous band the world has ever known. A young record-shop owner from Liverpool, he took four relatively unknown musicians and set out to make them ‘bigger than Elvis’, changing pop music, celebrity and British culture forever. Only a few years older than John, Paul, George and Ringo, he called them ‘the Boys’, guiding, protecting and relentlessly believing in them as no one else did. Without Brian Epstein, there would have been no Beatles as we know them. Brian’s achievement in a profession in which he had no experience remains astonishing. A passionate devotee of classical music, he was nevertheless instrumental in shaping a new kind of pop that would revolutionise its sound, its business and Britain’s image around the world. Yet for all his achievements, he received no public honour – and scarcely any thanks. Drawing on a remarkable cache of exclusive interviews with those closest to him, Philip Norman delivers the most intimate and revealing portrait yet of this complex, conflicted and ultimately tragic figure. Mr Moonlight reveals the depths of Brian’s many trials and tribulations – how he almost lost the Beatles to organised crime; the antisemitism and homophobia he endured even at the height of his success; his intense and fraught relationship with John Lennon; and the haunting circumstances of his lonely death during the so-called Summer of Love. At once revelatory and deeply moving, Mr Moonlight restores Brian Epstein to his rightful place at the heart of the Beatles’ story.
