Pod tatranskými strechami
Poviedky tatranského spisovateľa, vysokohorského nosiča, záchranára a chatára Bela Kapolku (1935 – 1994) patria do zlatého fondu slovenskej literatúry. Za debut Kanadské smreky (1967) získal prestížnu Cenu Ivana Kraska, za zbierku poviedok Strecha (1968) Cenu Vydavateľstva Smena a čitateľsky obľúbené boli aj Chodníky bez značiek, v ktorých sa poviedkové príbehy prelínajú s publicistickým hodnotením diania v podtatranských osadách. Z nich vedú značkované chodníky k vysokohorských chatám, odkiaľ sa vydávajú turisti a horolezci na lákavé, náročné i nebezpečné trasy sedlami a žulovými stenami k vrcholom najmenších európskych veľhôr. Kapolkove knižky nezoženiete už ani v antikvariáte, a tak sa Vydavateľstvo Spolku spisovateľov rozhodlo vyslať ich k súčasným čitateľom spoločne pod názvom Pod tatranskými strechami. Spisovateľ sa po príchode do Vysokých Tatier neuspokojoval s pozíciou nadšeného obdivovateľa prírodných scenérií. Bol aktívnym účastníkom diania, preto sú jeho príbehy naplnené osobnými skúsenosťami. Zbieral ich pri mnohých aktívnych činnostiach. Robil pomocníka pri tesárskych prácach, v záhrade polieval záhony a pestoval kvietky, bol plavčíkom na kúpalisku v Ružbachoch, údržbárom na strojnej a traktorovej stanici, kuričom v hoteloch, natieral stožiare diaľkového elektrického vedenia, pracoval v lese, pri lyžiarskom vleku. Písal o cezhraničnom pašovaní tovaru, ktoré spoznal aj vlastnou skúsenosťou. Vážil si nosičov ťažkých nákladov na horské chaty. Cenil si nefalšované kamarátstva, otvorené medziľudské vzťahy. Konal s úctou k prostrediu Vysokých Tatier, s ktorým bol bytostne zrastený, čo dokazoval aj v svojej literárnej tvorbe.
Szívdobbanások
Sunday Times bestseller
Ikon. Legenda. Rejtély.
Senki sem teniszezett úgy, mint Björn Borg.
A svéd klasszis hihetetlen atletikusságával, brutális ütőerejével és ikonikus stílusával tizenöt évesen robbant be a tenisz élvonalába, és néhány év alatt örökre megváltoztatta a sportágat. Tizenegy Grand Slam-trófeát nyert, köztük öt egymást követő wimbledoni címet, és minden idők egyik legnagyobb játékosaként vált legendává. Aztán mindössze huszonhat évesen váratlanul bejelentette visszavonulását – és eltűnt a tenisz világából.
Az évtizedeken át hallgató sztár most először töri meg a csendet.
Szívdobbanások című memoárjában kendőzetlen őszinteséggel mesél pályafutásának sorsfordító pillanatairól, a John McEnroe-val vívott legendás rivalizálásról és az 1980-as wimbledoni döntő kulisszatitkairól. Beszél gyerekkoráról, a világhírnévhez való viszonyáról, és a mélypontokról, amelyekről a nyilvánosság egészen eddig semmit nem tudott.
Ez a könyv egyszerre bepillantás egy rejtélyes sportikon életébe, illetve felemelő történet küzdelemről, bukásról és újrakezdésről.
„...tudtam, hogy életem legnagyobb meccse vár rám, amiben a legmakacsabb ellenfelemmel, vagyis saját magammal és a drogokkal kell megküzdenem. Az ikrek jegyében születtem, és mindig is éreztem, hogy két személyiség lakozik bennem, körülbelül úgy, mint Dr. Jekyll és Mr. Hyde. Egy kisördög ül a vállamon, és makacsul próbál magával rántani a mélybe.”
Mother Ghost Mango Seed
A single thread can unravel a web of secrets …

Numbed at the wake and feeling like a stranger in her home country, Lin tries to cook her mother’s favourite dish, but her mother’s recipes are all missing, and in their place is an old political leaflet which everyone refuses to translate. Lonely and intrigued, Lin sets off with her baby to the Thai countryside in search of answers.
As she discovers herself and her culture, Lin quickly finds that tugging at a single thread can unravel a web of secrets held for decades, driving away loved ones, breaking cultural taboos, and uncovering dreadful truths behind a devastating political past.

Will you lead the team to victory, or into chaos? And will they all find out a lot about their true selves during the process...? You, the reader, will make choices for the team throughout this story. YOU are in charge of the Game!

To the Moon
The bestselling South Korean phenomenon, To the Moon is a bittersweet tale of wealth and class, female friendship, and the promise of the future when good fortune seems to be just around the corner.
In Seoul, three young women meet while working mundane desk jobs at a confectionary manufacturer. They become fast friends, taking their conversations out of the group chat as they bond over their 'average' employee report cards, the incompetence of their male team leader and a mutual longing for financial freedom amid mediocre raises.
Eun-sang, the eldest of the group, is always looking for ways to earn extra money, but faces trouble at work after she opens a mini mart at her desk.
Jisong, the youngest, dreams of a perfect romance with her Taiwanese boyfriend and spends her low salary on trips to Taipei.
Meanwhile, Dahae searches endlessly for a better apartment - albeit one she can actually afford.
One day over lunch, Eun-sang announces a plan to make enough money to quit her job, by investing her life's savings in cryptocurrency. What's more, she thinks the others should join her. All they need to do, she says, is hold on tight and wait for the price to skyrocket . . . to the moon. But as the market begins to fluctuate and spiral out of their control, the fate of their friendships - and their futures - soon hangs in the balance.
