The Butterfly Season
The phenomenal Danish bestseller: a transporting, inspirational story of home, of endings, rebirth and new beginningsIn the darkness of winter on the first day of the year, a woman in Denmark is making a list. She plans to set out and see all of the country's butterfly species in a single summer. She knows nothing about butterflies. She doesn’t even know why she wants to see them. She just knows that something is calling her. The pull is irresistible. The Butterfly Season tells the story of what happened next. We follow Lea Korsgaard as her list takes her to landscapes she never knew existed, shaped by the wind and by the sea. She discovers secret places and meets strangers who help along the way. And she is led into the past: into the lives of her ancestors and the worlds of philosophy and myth. Because ever since ancient times, the butterfly has symbolized humanity’s hope of rebirth—and confronted us with the biggest questions of existence: why do we live? And what are we living for?

Groomed
The horrifying story of Jonathan Cresswell and the rape and murder of 21 year old showjumper Katie Simpson, who was initially thought to have taken her own life until Cresswell's crime was uncovered Jonathan Cresswell was a dangerous and violent man, particularly to women. He manipulated his many girlfriends using coercive control and physically assaulted them if they didn't do as he wished. In August 2020 he raped and murdered showjumper Katie Simpson, the sister of his partner and the aunt of his two children. He attempted to cover up the murder and pretended he had found her hanging from the landing in their shared home, and he very nearly got away with it. Only the persistence of an investigative journalist, suspicious nurses and Katie's concerned family and friends caused the PSNI to open a case almost five months after her death. During the resulting trial Cresswell killed himself. Three other women were charged with helping him to conceal his crime, and each received a suspended sentence due their deference of being under Cresswell's control.

100 Reasons to Celebrate Welsh History
What has the small nation of Wales given to the wide worl? ell, to name but a few examples: the NHS, magical drama, mail order, sleeping bags, the basis of the internet, the ‘Town of Books’, the first powered flight, presidents, prime ministers and Nobel prize-winners. People of Welsh heritage have helped shape the culture and constitution of the United States; they have enriched British culture in innumerable ways through writing, acting, painting, poetry, singing and architecture; they have amassed a fantastic range of sporting achievements; and they made their own unique mark on history. Welsh history deserves to be rewritten in a manner that highlights and celebrates its achievements both past and present. The 100 reasons in this book do just that. They are pathfinders to a confident tomorrow – as the Royal Badge of Wales reads in translation: ‘The Red Dragon points the way’.
Imre
'I love thee... once more helpless, and therewith hopeless!--but this time no longer silent, before the Friendship which is Love, the Love which is Friendship.'Considered one of the first examples of the 'homosexual' novel, Edward Prime-Stevenson's Imre: A Memorandum takes the reader to the almost Arcadian capital of Hungary, where a seemingly chance encounter brings together Englishman Oswald and dashing Hungarian officer Imre. From the initial stages of their friendship, there is no doubt on Oswald's part that this is love at first sight. But will Imre return Oswald's feelings? Will they dare to let their guard down-the figurative 'Mask' that has become second nature to them? Heavily indebted to the newly established classificatory science of sexualities, Imre offers a thrilling and heart-rending account of the relationship between two super-virile men at the turn of the twentieth century. This edition presents an authentic version of the text that preserves the author's orthographical and other eccentricities, and opens the door to the sexological subtext that propels the plot. Also included is one of Prime-Stevenson's dramatic short stories, 'The Lady with the Madonna-Face', in which Imre returns. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

With no capacity to think about her future and trying to forget her past, what will happen? Local football coach Butch Lichenstein, that’s what. A Pizza Hut, A Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut is a wildly inventive and funny novel that counters the idea of the suburbs as a place queers leave and plays out the radical implications of staying put.

Their behavior gravely impacts a major area of their life." 💭MYTH: "People with personality disorders cannot be treated." 🌞 Truth: "With the right therapy, many people with PDOs are treatable.

Most of the patients I treat learn to be in healthy, even thriving, relationships."💭 MYTH: "It's impossible to have a meaningful relationship with someone with a personality disorder." 🌞 Truth: "It's a matter of addressing unconscious fears around closeness and distancing.

Buda & Pest - Mellékutcák
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.
