Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil
A challenge to conventional psychiatry with a powerful, case-based vision of mental health rooted in spirituality, ritual, and authentic human connectionBased on field notes from his own experience as a mental health support worker, David Stokes reveals his unique approach to working with those with mental illness that involves seeking opportunities that connect the spirit to the wider world, whether that be through magic, ritual, or religious spirituality. Written in a personal and poignant prose, Stokes’ writing highlights the grim realities of everyday life, especially for those suffering with mental illness and trapped within the confines of mental health services. Stokes argues that the mental health of those suffering comes not from a chemical imbalance in their brain, as pertained by traditional psychiatry, but rather from a lack of spiritual connection to the wider world. Stokes’ approach, and the treatments outlined in A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil, focuses on encouraging patients to seek opportunities for genuine engagement with a wider sense of reality, whether that be through esotericism, magical ritual, spirituality, and more. While a gestalt approach is central to the arguments presented in A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil, the book also draws from a wide range of other disciplines, such as Jungian theory, esoteric Christianity, consciousness studies, and pagan/folk tradition, ultimately proving that the emphasis of the holistic, spiritual approach in psychotherapy, should be one that finds the authentic voice of the individual suffering. Rich with evidence and experience from real-life case studies, A Masquerade at the Crossroads of Good and Evil will be an intriguing, stimulating, and thought-provoking read for anyone involved in or interested in working with mental illness.

Lila James a legjobb barátom húga.
Szigorúan tiltott terület.
De minden férfinak megvan az Achilles-sarka.
Lila a legjobb barátom kishúga, és mindig is így gondoltam rá. Egy gyerek, akire vigyázni kell.
Öt évvel fiatalabb nálam, még akkor is kislány volt, amikor elköltözött a városból, hogy egyetemre járjon. Most itthon tölti a nyári vakációt – és egyértelműen nem kislány már, gyönyörű, okos nővé érett. A szeme sötét, hosszú haja hullámokban omlik a vállára. Formás lábát mintha arra tervezték volna, hogy a derekam köré fonja.
Én mindig is az a fickó voltam, aki szeret szórakozni, aki könnyedén veszi a dolgokat.
Amikor a bátyja szívességet kér tőlem, hogy adjak Lilának munkát az éttermemben, egy pillanatnyi habozás nélkül igent mondok, hiszen nincs, amit meg ne tennék a barátom kishúgáért.
Egészen addig, amíg Lila nem kér tőlem még valamit. Azt akarja, hogy én legyek számára az első. Nekem akarja adni a szüzességét. Azt kéri, én járjak ott először, ahol férfi még nem járt…
A nagyesküt is leteszi, hogy nem fog belém zúgni – annál több esze van.
Csakhogy én nem Lila szíve miatt aggódom...

The Secret of Sunrises
From award-winning author Ellie Block comes a heartwarming novel to remind us that forgiveness, like the sea, has tides—and it’s never too late to sail toward the sunset. When Catherine Moran’s long-lost brother bequeaths her a boat in Key West, she’s not sure what hurts more: his death or the decades they’ve been estranged. The fifty-seven-year-old thinks this could be the answer to her financial strain since putting their mother in a memory care facility, but when she arrives on the island, her bonanza is a bust. The boat is a dilapidated trawler supposedly once owned by Ernest Hemingway, and a handsome buddy of her brother is living onboard but refuses to jump ship. Because both Catherine and her brother were named after Hemingway characters, she can’t shake the author’s shadow. Instead of unwinding, Catherine ends up crisscrossing the island trying to drum up interest in the barely operable vessel. Key West is south of her normal. However, if she wants to unravel the mystery of the boat and her brother, that’s exactly the direction Catherine needs to go.
The Art of Legend
Once in a faraway kingdom there was a prince prophesied to be the Chosen One, who would defeat a great villain, the Eternal Khan, and save the kingdom. But then the Eternal Khan died...and the prophecy was broken. For Jian, the fated prince, this could have been a moment to succumb to despair.
But instead, he chose to create his own destiny. He studied under his curmudgeonly but beloved mentor to become a great warrior. And he banded together with some unlikely allies whose courage and determination match his own-such as Sali, a gruff warrior who is also forging a path apart from the one her culture created for her.
Because some heroes aren't simply born legends-they choose to become legendary. And great heroes do not stand alone, but are stronger together.

A Maia család
Egy hanyatló világ ragyogó krónikája – szerelemről, illúziókról és egy család végzetéről. A Maia család története több mint egy nemzedék sorsa: egy egész korszak tükre. A fiatal, művelt és tehetséges Carlos da Maia előtt minden lehetőség nyitva áll – ám élete hamarosan olyan szenvedélyek és titkok hálójába fonódik, amelyek elől nincs menekvés. A 19. századi Lisszabon elegáns szalonjai, kávéházai és arisztokrata körei mögött lassú erkölcsi és szellemi hanyatlás húzódik meg. Eça de Queirós finom iróniával és részletgazdag realizmussal rajzolja meg egy társadalom portréját, amely képtelen szembenézni saját gyengeségeivel. A Maia család egyszerre nagy ívű családregény és éles társadalomkritika, a portugál irodalom egyik legjelentősebb alkotása, amely ma is érvényes kérdéseket tesz fel sorsról, felelősségről és az elvesztegetett lehetőségekről. Egy történet, amely magával ragad – és nem ereszt. José Maria Eça de Queirós nagy XIX. századi portugál családregénye Pál Ferenc fordításában jelenik meg. A könyvet L. Varga Péter szerkesztette, a borítót Szabó Imola Julianna készítette.
Vasarely regényes évszázada - második, bővített kiadás
Victor Vasarely a 20. századi képzőművészet egyik legjelentősebb alakja, az „optikai festészet”, azaz op-art legfontosabb alkotója. Művei mindenütt óriási sikert arattak, nemcsak a galériákban és kiállításokon, de a populáris kultúrában is. Ebből a regényes életrajzból kiderül, honnan indult és hová jutott: a pécsi születésétől a budapesti tanulóéveken át franciaországi letelepedéséig. Végigkísérjük a szegénységtől a gazdagságig, az ismeretlenségtől a világhírig. A pikáns családi legendákból megismerjük szerelmeit, szenvedélyeit, és azt is megtudjuk, hogyan kapcsolódott össze életében művészet, üzlet és szerelem. Mindemellett megelevenedik előttünk a 20. század közepi Párizs mozgalmas kávéházaival, füstös és fülledt szalonjaival, galériáival, a kor legnagyobb festőivel és zenészeivel, filmeseivel, művészlegendákkal, galériatulajdonosokkal. Látjuk Franciaországot és Magyarországot a második világháború alatt, Párizs szerepének változását a nemzetközi művészvilágban és műkereskedelemben, Amerika mind nagyobb vonzerejét, New York lehetőségekkel teli csillogását. Végül tanúi vagyunk a francia vidéken eltöltött időskornak, a két fiú és az unoka felnövésének, egy művészcsalád konfliktusoktól sem mentes kiteljesedésének. Pierre Vasarely nem antik szobrot farag nagyapjának Philippe Dana újságíró közreműködésével, hanem lüktető családtörténetet ír, amelyben a 20. század kis- és nagytörténelme kavarog, és amiben a művészi elit világa és a vasárnapi gyöngytyúk is elfér. A végeredmény az invenciózus mester, Victor Vasarely életének és munkájának története, az alkotóé, aki mindenben izgalmas lehetőséget talál. Jelen, második, kibővített kiadás számára Pierre Vasarely a mából visszatekintve összefoglalta azokat az eseményeket, melyeket az 2019-es kiadásban nem említett, és azokat, melyek annak megjelenése óta történtek. Fordította (az Epilógussal bezárólag): Vígh Árpád. Az Utószót és a Függeléket Halápi Blanka fordításának átdolgozásával Jeney Zoltán és Balogh Endre készítette. Szaklektor (az Utószó és a Függelék kivételével): Kárpáti Kata. Szerkesztette: Balogh Endre. Olvasószerkesztő: L. Varga Péter. A borítót Szalay Miklós készítette Willy Maywald fotójának felhasználásával. A borító és a hátsó fül fotóit Pierre Vasarely bocsátotta a magyar kiadás rendelkezésére.
Paradiso
On the hottest day of one of the hottest summers anyone has ever known, young journalist Federico Desideri is sent on an apparently routine assignment; to snatch an interview with Italy’s latest Oscar winning film director. But in Rome. Far from the comforts of his native Milan. When the director turns out to be elusive, and the Romans as rough as their reputation, Federico falls in with Barry Volpicelli, the rumoured inspiration behind the winning movie’s lead character - a seductive, fast-talking, America-obsessed rogue, and instead of finding his interviewee, he finds himself in Paradiso—Barry’s crumbling country estate on the Lazio coast, with an eccentric cast of inhabitants who seem frozen in time. Alan Bennett meets Fellini at a shabby, Italian White Lotus in this novel which is a satirical bildungsroman through the nature of illusion, escapism and the enduring myth of the Eternal City. As Federico navigates the absurdities, passions, and dangers of this apparent paradise, it starts to look more and more like purgatory, and he begins to question how he can find his way out.

Land Is Kin
Honorable Mention: Best First book in the History of Religions Responding to Vine Deloria, Jr.’s call for all people to “become involved” in the struggle to protect Indigenous sacred sites, Dana Lloyd’s Land Is Kin proposes a rethinking of sacred sites, and a rethinking of even land itself. Deloria suggested using the principle of religious freedom, but this principle has failed Indigenous peoples for decades. Lloyd argues that religious freedom fails Indigenous claimants because settler law creates a tension between two competing rights—one party’s religious freedom and another party’s property rights. In this contest, the right of property will always win. Through an analysis of the 1988 US Supreme Court case Lyng v. Northwest Indian Cemetery Protective Association, which she interprets as a case about sovereignty and the meaning of land, Lloyd proposes a multilayered understanding of land and the different roles it can simultaneously play. Rejecting the binary logic of sacred religion versus secular property, Lloyd uses the legal dispute over the High Country—an area of the Six Rivers National Forest in Northern California sacred to the Yurok, Karuk, and Tolowa Indigenous nations—to show that there are at least five different, but not equally valid, ways to understand land in the Lyng case: home, property, sacred site, wilderness, and kin. To protect the High Country, the Yurok filed a religious freedom lawsuit but then proceeded to describe the land as their home in court. They lobbied for protecting the High Country through a wilderness designation even as they continued to argue that they had been managing it for centuries. They have purchased large parcels of ancestral land and also declare the land their kin, a relationship that ostensibly excludes the possibility of ownership. Land Is Kin demonstrates the complexity of land in contemporary religious, political, and legal discourse. By drawing on Indigenous perspectives on the land as kin, Lloyd points toward a framework that shifts sovereignty away from binary oppositions—between property and sacred site, between the federal government and Native nations—towards seeing the land itself as sovereign.
Mystik hmoty
Jezuita a paleontolog Pierre Teilhard de Chardin je autorem jedné z nejodvážnějších křesťanských vizí 20. století. Po většinu života narážel na odpor církevních autorit a značná část jeho díla mohla vyjít teprve posmrtně. Teilhard chápe svět jako otevřený proces, do něhož je člověk plně vtažen a za jehož další podobu nese spoluodpovědnost. Evoluce pro něj není jen vesmírný děj, ale také pohyb dějin a ducha, jehož osobním středem je Kristus. Jeho představa sjednocování v různosti je naléhavým odkazem pro dobu válek a rozdělených společností.
The Land and its People
In The Land and Its People, David Sedaris investigates what it means to be a traveller, a brother, a lifelong friend. Trying on the role of carer after his boyfriend Hugh's hip-replacement surgery, he both succeeds and fails. He covers ground with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck tire. An ambivalent Duolingo bot becomes his unlikely confidante as he attempts to describe his family in a foreign language. Ever adding to his list of 'Countries I Have Been To,' he rides a horse named Tequila in Guatemala, buys a bespoke priest's cassock in Vatican City, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo.
Time takes its toll: Scrolling through his address book, he counts those he couldn't bear to outline and realizes how many are already gone. He is bitten by a dog and insulted by a wee train passenger. A woman on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn't. It's easy to agree with the lady waving a sign that reads, 'Enough is Enough.' And yet, life holds much to delight in: the massive testicles of a ram, a trip abroad with his sisters, a really excellent reptile video, a pair of well-made cotton underpants.
Throughout these essays - at once acerbic and tender, playful and profound - Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open, observing with warmth and curiosity our fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.
Zázemí pro ušáka
Novinka oceňovaného básníka Milana Děžinského (nar. 1974), držitele ceny Magnesia Litera za sbírky Obcházení ostrova, je žánrově netypická. Tvoří ji rozsáhlá mozaika kratších próz, v nichž se prolíná bizarní s každodenním, dějinné s intimním, groteskní s tragickým. Autor sestavuje svou knihu z příběhů nalezených, vyslechnutých i zcela osobních — a vytváří tak obraz světa, který se nám ukazuje ve své absurditě i křehkosti. Útržky internetových historek, fragmenty dávných osudů i okamžiky zdánlivě banálního života dohromady tvoří mnohovrstevnatou zprávu o našem bytí… Stalin pěstuje exotické rostliny, kamion hoří na dálnici a někdo sní o smrti ve sněhu. Žena žije v reklamní ceduli na střeše supermarketu a chlapec umí předvídat góly. A taky je tu medvěd, který zkouší hrát na piano, a tak dále. Z prostěradla se zvedá prach, v kuchyni vám kdosi strčí vosu mezi stehna a králíček zoufale hledá něžného majitele. Hravé i temné, na každý pád však inspirativní čtení.
