The Mesopotamian Riddle
An “adventure tale for puzzle lovers and Indiana Jones fans alike” (The Washington Post) following three free-spirited Victorians on their twenty-year quest to decipher cuneiform, the oldest writing in the world—from the New York Times bestselling author of The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu. It was one of history’s great vanishing acts. Around 3,400 BCE, a scribe in the mud-walled city-state of Uruk picked up a reed stylus to press tiny symbols into clay. For the next three thousand years, wedge-shape cuneiform script would record the military conquests, scientific discoveries, and epic literature of the great kingdoms of Mesopotamia. And then…the meaning of the characters was lost. London, 1857. In an era obsessed with human progress, mysterious palaces emerging from the desert sands have captured the Victorian public’s imagination. Assyria, Babylon, the mighty Persian Empire… these civilizations had gone down in the annals as the great antagonists to ancient Greece and ancient Israel. What did these “bad guys” of Western history have to say for themselves? What were their values, their rituals, their understandings of their place in the universe? What was it like simply to be human at the dawn of recorded history? Enter a swashbuckling archaeologist, a suave military officer turned diplomat, and a cloistered Irish rector, all vying for glory in a race to decipher the script that would enable humans to peer farther back into our history than ever before. From the ruins of Persepolis to lawless outposts of the crumbling Ottoman Empire, let The Mesopotamian Riddle whisk you off on “an epic intellectual adventure” (The Wall Street Journal) through the golden age of archaeology in an epic quest to understand where we came from—and where we perhaps might go.

Pepřové pocity
Bůh nenávidí homosexuály, urážejí zavedený řád světa. A když je On sám nepotrestá, musíte se o to postarat vy. I když vám to způsobuje krvavá zranění na těle a pepřové pocity v duši.

Kimani už nevěřil, že mu bude dovoleno zůstat ve vytoužené zemi, a teď mu přece svitla naděje. Byl už v životě ledasčím: Masajem, samozvaným průvodcem, vykonavatelem Boží vůle, kurýrem bez papírů. Dokáže se stát... homosexuálem?

Honour & Heresy
Instagram sensation Max Francis makes his highly anticipated debut with this atmospheric, gothic, dark academic fantasy of two scholars racing each other to find answers to an invasion in a haunted library, perfect for fans of Katabasis and A Study in Drowning.
Roy Dawnseve cares more for philosophy than battle. But, in a society that shuns literature in favour of their ongoing war, Roy must face a difficult choice: brave the front lines or investigate the identity of their foes in the Orphic Basilica, an ancient, abandoned library.
When Roy chooses to unravel the mystery, it soon becomes clear that the Orphic Basilica isn't without its own horrors. Strange voices echo down the halls, ghosts roam the bookshelves, and those who stepped foot in the library have either emerged insane or were driven to their own demise.
Roy's partner in the investigation is Percival Atherton, a manipulative, enigmatic and distractingly charming scholar who has no qualms about belittling Roy. As a fierce snowstorm isolates them from civilisation, Roy and Percival must grapple with their tormented pasts, an unexpected romance, and an age-old conspiracy whose secrets are certain to wipe Northgard from history.
Filled with all the yearning of a rivals-to-lovers romance, the intrigue and fear of a dark academia, and the wonder and discovery of an epic fantasy, Honour & Heresy is ultimately a story of self-discovery amidst the chaos of war and a long, cold winter.

Miranda In Retrograde - Tévelygő csillagok közöt
Miután Miranda élete fenekestül felfordul, úgy dönt, hogy egy évig kizárólag a horoszkópja alapján hozza meg döntéseit.
Miranda Reed, az egyetem legfiatalabb fizikaprofesszora szereti pontosan megtervezni az életét. Ám amikor elutasítják a kinevezését, és meghiúsul a biztosnak hitt előléptetés, addig kiszámítható élete hirtelen darabjaira hullik.
Miután derékba tört a karrierje, Miranda a csillagok felé fordul – ezúttal azonban nem fekete lyukakat keres. Mivel a tudományba vetett hite megrendült, olyan helyen kezdi keresni a választ, amit korábban teljesen abszurdnak tartott: az asztrológiában.
Elhatározza, hogy egy évig hagyja, hogy a horoszkópja irányítsa az életét. Ezért aztán lakásfelújításba kezd, új háziállatot fogad örökbe, és azt kutatja, mit mondanak a csillagok az ideális párkapcsolatról. A titokzatosan zárkózott művész a szomszédból? Szó sem lehet róla. A Kos energiái teljesen kizárják. Vagy új tanítványának sármos apja? Tökéletes Nyilas. Mintha neki teremtették volna… nem igaz?
Ahogy Miranda új szemszögből kezdi látni az életét, lassan ráébred, hogy sem a tudomány, sem a csillagok nem adnak választ minden kérdésére. És hogy a szerelemben néha jobb, ha egyszerűen csak a szívére hallgat az ember.
Fedezd fel, mit tartogatnak számodra a csillagok!

The Odyssey
With his Odyssey, best-selling author and classicist Daniel Mendelsohn has created a momentous new work, hailed by classicists and poets alike - a translation to stand with those of E. V. Rieu and Robert Fagles.
Setting aside the streamlining, modernizing approach of many recent translations, Mendelsohn artfully reproduces the epic's formal qualities - meter, enjambment, alliteration, assonance - and in so doing restores to Homer's master work its archaic grandeur. His expansive six-beat line, far closer to the original than that of other recent translations, allows him to capture each of Homer's verses line for line, without sacrificing the amplitude and shadings of the original.
The result is the richest, most precise, and most musical Odyssey in English, one that fully conveys its oral poetics while bringing to vivid life the gripping adventure, profound human insight and powerful themes that make Homer's work resonate some twenty-eight centuries after its composition. Supported by an extensive introduction and the fullest notes and commentary currently available, Mendelsohn's Odyssey is poised to become the authoritative English-language version of this magnificent, endlessly enjoyable masterpiece.
Autobiography of a Face
A New York Times Notable Book''It is impossible to read Autobiography of a Face without having your consciousness raised forever''Mirabella''Both book and life are unforgettable''New York TimesAt age nine, Lucy Grealy was diagnosed with a potentially terminal cancer. When she returned to school with a third of her jaw removed, she faced the cruel taunts of classmates. It took her twenty years of living with a distorted self-image and more than thirty years of reconstructive procedures before she could come to terms with her appearance. In this lyrical and strikingly candid memoir, Grealy tells her story of great suffering and remarkable strength without sentimentality and with considerable wit. She captures what it is like as a child and a young adult to be torn between two warring impulses: to feel that more than anything else we want to be loved for who we are, while wishing desperately and secretly to be perfect.
The Lost Folk
'An exceptionally thoughtful and beautifully written.' Maxine Peake'Erudite, questing and endlessly fascinating . . . the book that British folk has long needed.' Katherine May'A splendid museum full of strange and wonderful things.' Peter RossA fresh and engaging celebration of the customs, places, objects and peoples that make up what we know as 'folk' in Britain. By its nature, folk is ephemeral: tricky to define, hard to preserve and even more difficult to resurrect. But folk culture is all around us; sitting in our churches, swinging from our pubs and dancing through our streets, patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated, saved and cherished. In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. She reminds us that folk is for everyone, and does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities. As well as looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain's past, she shines a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future - encouraging us to use the book as an inspiration, and become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.
