Bloodguard - A Vérőrző (Ófölde 1.)
Száz év. Több tízezer gladiátor. És csak egy emelkedhet fel…
A Nyíl Királyságban minden hazugság.
Szürkevölgyi Leith azzal a reménnyel érkezett erre az idegen vidékre, hogy elegendő aranyat szerezhet haldokló húga megmentésére. Önként jelentkezik a gladiátorviadalokra, ezekre a kegyetlen, vérszomjas küzdelmekre, ahol csak a legerősebbek maradnak életben. Azt hitte, már nincs vesztenivalója.
Tévedett – és mindent elvettek tőle. A reményt. A szabadságot. És végül az emberségét is.
Csupán dühe által táplált megsebzett teste marad hátra, amelyet megacélozott a túlélésért folytatott többéves harc.
Ekkor ismeri meg Maeve-et, a trónörökös tündelányt, aki megtestesíti mindazt, amit Leith megvet. Ő minden, amit gyűlölnie kellene. Az elbűvölő hercegnő azonban felkínálja neki az egyetlen dolgot, amire szüksége van: az esélyt, hogy elnyerje a hőn áhított vérőrző címet, és ezzel együtt a szabadságát.
De egy titkokra és hazugságokra épülő királyságban a reménynek mindig ára van. És Leith végső bosszúja… még ennél is nagyobb árat követel.
Lépj be az arénába!
„Döbbenetes! A vérőrzőben minden megvan: a gladiátori küzdelmek izgalma mágiával, mitikus lényekkel, trónviszállyal és persze gyönyörű szerelmi történettel keveredik. Kötelező olvasmány minden romantasyolvasónak!”– Lucy, goodreads.com

Engagement
A feminist cult classic about love, independence and what it means to be an individual, translated into English for the first time
'I want to have him, I really do. I just don't want him to have me.'
Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.
Engagement, set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world's future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.

Enter Félix and Antoine. They are polar opposites. Félix: mild mannered, caramel haired and sweet. Antoine: dark haired. Tattooed. Arrogant.
The only thing they seem to have in common is that they're both ridiculously attractive, and they both have a thing for Margot. But there's something much more significant about them that's going to come as a real shock to Margot . . .
Chronicles of Dissent
An accessible, powerful overview of Noam Chomsky's political thought
In sixteen extended talks with Alternative Radio's David Barsamian, Noam Chomsky explains:
Why the 'war on drugs' is really a war on poor people.
How attacks on political correctness are attacks on independent thought.
How historical revisionism has recast the United States as the victim in the Vietnam War.
Widely recognized as one of the most original and important thinkers of our age, Chomsky's trenchant analysis of current events is a breath of fresh air in a world more and more polluted by mainstream media.
Fragile Sanctuary - Törékeny menedék
Már a morgolódásából tudnom kellett volna, hogy tartsam távol magam Anson Hunttól. A szexi mosolya, és hogy ő a bátyám legjobb barátja? Az csak újabb két ok. Ráadásul ő az új melós, aki a házamon dolgozik. Ő az én szöges ellentétem: morcos, faragatlan, és meglehetősen ragaszkodik a magányához. Nem számít, hányszor próbálom meglágyítani a kedvességemmel, ez a pasas egyszerűen nem hajlik. Amíg meg nem látja, hogy darabokra hullok. Amikor a világom összedől körülöttem, Anson az, aki elkap, amikor zuhannék. És amikor mindenütt úgynevezett balesetek kezdik keseríteni az életemet, Anson lép közbe, hogy biztonságban legyek. Erre már akaratlanul is megmoccan bennem egy kis lángocska. És csak egy pillanat kell, hogy ez az apró szikra lángra lobbanjon és mindkettőnket elborítson. Csakhogy Anson titkokat rejteget, és a titkainak ára van. Amikor napvilágra kerülnek, egyikünk sem úszhatja meg ép bőrrel...

Štěstí a bolest v současném světě
Utrpení je jako tichý stín, který nás provází, ať chceme, nebo ne. Jen málokdy se zastavíme a podíváme se mu do očí. Co když ale právě v tomto pohledu tkví klíč k osvobození?
Tato kniha vychází z Dhammačakkappavattanasutty – Roztočení kola Dhammy, prvního Buddhova učení o čtyřech ušlechtilých pravdách, v nichž je ukázána podstata utrpení i cesta, jak jej překonat.
Kniha vás pravdami provede skrze kontext našich vlastních prožitků, vztahů a situací každodenního života. Možná zjistíte, že odpovědi, které hledáte, jsou blíž, než si myslíte.
Rethinking the Penal State
In this book based on his 2024 Adorno Lectures, Loic Wacquant combines social theory, comparative history and structural ethnography to probe criminal punishment as a core function of the state. Extending Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of bureaucratic field and symbolic power, he captures the constitutive duality of punishment, at once material and symbolic, an instrument of class control and a means of communicating values, endlessly oscillating between rehabilitation and retribution. Ranging from the birth of the workhouse prison in sixteenth-century Europe to the deployment of punishment in the colonies to the workaday world of prosecutors in a California criminal court, Wacquant reveals how the penal state curates crime, manages urban marginality, signals sovereignty, and manufactures legitimacy in the eyes of the population by restoring control over bodies out of order. But the penal Leviathan is a bifurcated state which captures nearly exclusively dispossessed and dishonored categories by targeting their neighborhoods: it is everywhere a class-splitting and a race-forging institution based on the stubborn differentiation of "paper penality" and "street penality."Getting inside the machinery of criminal justice shows that punishment must be placed at the epicenter of the political sociology of statecraft, group-making and place-making in the metropolis as well as brought to the forefront of civic debate to articulate a radical penal minimalism suited to reconciling punishment and democratic ideals.

Checkmate
In September 2022, the chess world watched in disbelief as Magnus Carlsen, widely considered the greatest player in history, faced an unthinkable defeat against the nineteen-year-old American upstart, Hans Niemann. When Carlsen withdrew from the prestigious Sinquefield Cup and subtly accused Niemann of cheating, shockwaves hit the chess community, igniting the biggest scandal in the sport's history.
Checkmate dives deep into this modern-day drama, tracing the parallel rises of Carlsen, the stoic virtuoso, and Niemann, the fiery disruptor. Niemann denied the accusations, even as past online cheating incidents surfaced, while powerful entities like Chess.com, a billion-dollar online arena, became entangled in the escalating controversy. As the scandal went viral, it became clear that more was at stake than a single game.
Checkmate is a story of ambition, genius and greed set against the backdrop of a once-niche game exploding into a global, multi-billion-dollar phenomenon. It's a compelling exploration of a world where tradition collides with innovation, and a new generation, forged in the digital age, threatens to upend everything.
Finding My Way
Thrust onto the public stage at just fifteen years old after the Taliban's brutal attack on her life, Malala quickly became an international icon - but away from the cameras and crowds, she was a young woman struggling to find her place in a world that was telling her the role she had to play. Now, for the very first time, Malala takes readers behind the headlines in her candid and revelatory memoir that buzzes with authenticity, sharp humour and tenderness. From friendship to first love, failed exams to impulsive adventures, Finding My Way reminds us that real role models aren't perfect - they're human. And through moments of astonishing vulnerability, Malala reveals the psychological toll of the Taliban shooting that nearly ended her life - and shares her gratitude for the kindness and empathy that saved her.
This is not the story you think you know. It's the one Malala has been waiting to tell.
Marcel Pourtout
Pourtout is a name often mentioned as one of the greats of French coachbuilding. It was the company behind the rakish Darl’mat Peugeots of the 1930s and the famous ‘Embiricos’ Bentley. From modest beginnings, founder Marcel Pourtout – latterly working with designer Georges Paulin – created a respected business that bodied some of the world’s finest and most interesting chassis. When bespoke coachwork became a thing of the past, Carrosserie Pourtout was one of the few companies to survive. It moved on to fresh areas of activity. Quick on its feet, it thrived in a newly dynamised post-war France, whilst remaining a family business under the direction of Marcel Pourtout’s second son Claude. Extravagant publicity vehicles, notably for the ‘Tour de France’ cycle race, replaced special-bodied Hispano-Suizas and Delahayes. Then Carrosserie Pourtout became involved with ACMAT, for whom it created a cab body that redefined the image of the company’s rugged trucks, these becoming a staple of armed forces around the world. Finally it became France’s leading converter of Peugeot light vans and a sub-contractor for the aircraft and oil-prospecting industries. Written by award-winning author Jon Pressnell, this is the first history of Carrosserie Pourtout and has been compiled with the full and generous support of the Pourtout family. Using surviving documentation from the archives held by Kévin Pourtout, it tells the complete story of this enterprising small business, from its inception in 1925 to its demise in 1994.
