Volt már úgy, hogy megcsikiztek, bukfenceztetek, és azt mondtad, hogy ebből most elég volt neked? Te mondhatod meg, hogy veled miképp kell játszani. A testednek megvannak a saját szabályai. Ez a szórakoztató és önbizalmat támogató képeskönyv a testhatárok tiszteletben tartásának fontosságával ismerteti meg a kis olvasókat.

A Történelmiregény-írók Társaságának tagjai a Buda & Pest-kötetek megalkotásával létrehoztak egy különleges univerzumot, felépítettek egy világot. Megírták a Magyarország szívében, a Duna két partján álló, egymással hosszú ideig kacérkodó, később egyesülő települések történetét, és vele az itt élő két fiktív család, a Farkasok és a Révészek egymást követő generációnak históriáját. A teljes történet ezernyolcszáz esztendőt ölel fel a római kortól napjainkig; kalandos, romantikus, fordulatos regényvilág, amelynek mára saját ikonikus helyszínei, főszereplői, törvényszerűségei, konfliktusai, titkai és rejtélyei vannak. A számos szerző összefogásával megszületett sokszínű, mégis egységes történetet feldolgozó, monumentális művek közül az első 2023-ban "egy város zivataros századaiból", a második 2025-ben "ahogy kezdődött" alcímmel jelent meg. Ezen kötetekkel kapcsolatban azonban mind az alkotókban, mind az olvasókban ott motoszkált egy kis hiányérzet. Mivel a regények úgy épültek fel, hogy az egyes szerzők a családok egy-egy generációját, időben viszonylag távoli eseményeket mutattak be, így két epizód között hosszú éveket, évtizedeket ugrottunk a történelemben. Így viszont sok szereplő sorsa elmeséletlen, néhány történetszál pedig befejezetlen maradt. Mindez éltre hívta az igényt egy spin-off novelláskötetre, amelyet ezúttal az eredeti szerzőgárda számos tagja néhány új társsal kiegészülve, őket a közös munkába bevonva készített el. A spin-off oldalhajtást, mellékszálat jelent. A filmes világban széles körben ismert fogalom, és leginkább arra használják, amikor egy sorozatot utólag az eredeti univerzumban játszódó, korábban el nem mesélt történettel egészítenek ki, amely valamelyik karakter életéről a meglévő ismereteket bővíti. A Star Wars-sorozathoz például számos ilyen spin-off filmet forgattak. Nos, a kedves Olvasó ilyen történetekkel találkozhat a Buda & Pest - Mellékutcák című kötet hasábjain. Az alcím éppen arra utal, hogy itt a korábbi könyvekből már megismert, fő történetszálról leágazó elbeszélésekkel találkozhatunk; és ha már Buda és Pest városa a központi helyszín, a cím allegorikusan azt jeleníti meg, hogy szereplőink a főútról leágazó mellékutcákba sétálnak be.

Trappola már megint csőbe húzott! A kietlen Penészpartfok vidékén küzdünk az elemekkel, hogy megnyerjünk egy versenyt, amelynek a fődíjára áhítozik. Két lehetőség van: kinyúlsz vagy elnyúlsz? Cinn, én ezt nem akartam! A Mulatságos történetek sorozat köteteiben Geronimo Stilton meséli el kalandjait. És ő aztán tényleg soha nem unatkozik! Családjának és barátainak köszönhetően gyakran keveredik igazán bajuszborzoló, ám mindig extraegeresen mulatságos események középpontjába. És hogy kicsoda Geronimo Stilton? Rágcsáliában született, Egér-szigeten. Diplomamunkáját a rágcsálóirodalom toponímiájából és összehasonlító ősegérkori filozófiából írta. Geronimo Rágcsália legolvasottabb napilapja, a Rágcsáló Hírek főszerkesztője. Az újságot nagyapja, Világjáró Vilmos alapította. Szabadidejében Geronimo 18. századi antik sajthéjdarabkákat gyűjt, de legszívesebben nagy sikerű történetek írásával foglalatoskodik. Könyveit 53 nyelvre fordították le, és több mint 188 millió példányban adták el világszerte.

Jane Crowe egyszerű parasztlány, aki nem is álmodhatott arról, hogy egy nap kezébe veheti a saját sorsát. Miután a családja cserben hagyja, sürgősen munkára van szüksége, ezért a szegények védelmezőjéhez, Robin Hoodhoz fordul segítségért. A titokzatos férfi álláshoz juttatja egy nemesi házban, ám cserébe Jane-nek vállalnia kell, hogy munkaadói minden lépéséről beszámol neki. Az éles eszű lány kiváló kémnek bizonyul, aki a nemesek között észrevétlenül mozogva még a legapróbb titkokat is képes kifürkészni. Senki sem gyanakszik rá, még Nottingham rettegett bírója sem, akinek leghőbb vágya karóra tűzni Robin Hood fejét. Ahogy egyre kockázatosabb feladatokat kap, Jane kénytelen belátni, hogy bár vitathatatlanul vonzódik a karizmatikus, veszélyes Robinhoz, a férfi korántsem az a gáncs nélküli hős, akinek mutatja magát. Ellenkezőleg: bármire képes a céljai elérése érdekében. Amy S. Kaufman regénye egyszerre merész újragondolása a klasszikus Robin Hood-legendának, ugyanakkor egy izgalmas, érzékeny fiatal nő története is, akinek döntenie kell, eldobható báb vagy egyenrangú fél lesz-e a nemesek és tolvajok játszmájában.

Kolektivní monografie představuje první systematicky pojatou analýzu vývoje zdravotnické záchranné služby v českých zemích v období od jejího zestátnění v roce 1952 až po transformaci v krajské příspěvkové organizace v roce 2003. Kniha si klade za cíl zmapovat procesy institucionalizace, profesionalizace a modernizace přednemocniční neodkladné péče prostřednictvím analýzy oficiálního diskurzu a aktérské reflexe. Těžiště výkladu spočívá v letech 1952–2003, zároveň je však tento vývoj zasazen do širší perspektivy „dlouhého trvání“ od konce 18. století s důrazem na klíčové mezníky druhé poloviny 20. a počátku 21. století (1952, 1974, 1992 a 2003). V tematických kapitolách se monografie věnuje socio?profesní identitě výjezdových skupin, technologickým a materiálním proměnám, přechodovým liniím mezi přednemocniční a nemocniční péčí, etickým dilematům spojeným se setkáváním se smrtí a také genderovým aspektům a popkulturním obrazům. Zvláštní pozornost je věnována paměťové perspektivě řidičů, sester a lékařů, jejichž vyprávění slouží jako pramen k porozumění transformačním procesům nejen v urgentní medicíně, ale i v širším fungování socialistického a postsocialistického zdravotnictví.

Nola McConkey has made it. Animal Oracle, the memoir she has written about her beloved late sister Darina, has become a hit. People read it, critics loved it, producers now want to make it into a movie. The dream of quitting her job and becoming a full-time writer in London doesn't seem so far away. There's only one problem: everyone in her family has an opinion about the book - and none of them are good. Though Nola can't let it affect her. It's the price she must pay for the life she wants. But now, someone has made an anonymous complaint to her publisher about Animal Oracle. Suddenly, her hard-won reputation as a literary darling is at stake. Nola is sure that only someone in her secretive, chaotic family could be to blame. As her parents and three remaining siblings prepare to spend the fifth anniversary of Darina's death together on the isolated island of Lundy, Nola knows this is the perfect opportunity to convince her accuser to pull the complaint before it causes irreparable damage - but first, she must discover who made it. A Real Piece of Work is a sparkling and spiky story of complicated families and even more complicated sisters, exploring who owns grief and who gets to tell the story of those who are gone and those left behind with tenderness, nuance and wit.

‘Where there is money, there will be sex.’Anthropologist Sine Plambech has dedicated her life to pursuing the trail of sex and money across continents. In Global Sex, she draws back the curtain on a hidden world, sharing intimate conversations with sex workers from Nigeria and Thailand living in Europe. And when she retraces the treacherous routes that led them from their families, she finds lives transformed by the money that absent mothers, daughters, wives and sisters send home. Plambech is unsparing in her analysis of the international sex trade, yet compassionate in her treatment of the women who work in it. It is these women who take centre stage, reminding us that behind every statistic, there is a human story.

Inspiring younger players such as Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham, Cantona was, and remains, an iconic figure, known for his style and effortless grace, his French flair and his unwavering, unapologetic non-conformity.
