Sir Lewis
The definitive biography of the greatest Formula One driver of all time, now including an exclusive chapter on the 2025 season. ‘Timeless, illuminating and necessary’ – Mirin Fader, author of the New York Times bestsellers Giannis and DreamAt the pinnacle of motorsports, a humble young man from Stevenage has risen to become the greatest Formula One driver of all time. Lewis Hamilton’s journey from remote-controlled car hobbyist to seven-time world champion is evidently the stuff of modern legend. Michael Sawyer follows Hamilton’s path and we witness Hamilton’s single-minded determination to reach the top along the way, even as he challenged racial barriers and opposition at every turn. Beyond his unparalleled on-track exploits – equalling the records held by the legendary Michael Schumacher – Hamilton has used his platform to advocate for social justice, environmental sustainability and diversity, inspiring the next generation by not only encouraging them to pursue their own dreams but by also extending his legacy and impact beyond the track. As Hamilton nears the twilight of his racing career, this electrifying book by acclaimed professor of African American Literature and Culture, and lifelong Formula One fan, Michael Sawyer, examines his lasting legacy. Sir Lewis culminates with Hamilton’s potential final act – chasing a record-setting eighth world title at the wheel of the iconic Ferrari team – and shows how he continues to set new benchmarks for greatness.

Kings of Sin 5-book Boxset
King of Wrath:
The billionaire CEO never planned to marry - until the threat of blackmail forces him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows: Vivian Lau, jewellery heiress and daughter of his newest enemy. It doesn't matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to destroy the evidence and their betrothal.
King of Pride:
Reserved, controlled, and proper to a fault, Kai Young has neither the time nor inclination for chaos - and Isabella, with her purple hair and inappropriate jokes, is chaos personified. With a crucial CEO vote looming and a media empire at stake, the billionaire heir can't afford the distraction she brings.
King of Greed:
He has everything - a beautiful home, a beautiful wife and more money than he could spend in a lifetime. But no matter how much he accumulates, he's never satisfied. In his endless quest for more, he drives away the only person who saw him as enough. It isn't until she's gone that he realizes there may be more to life than riches and glory.
King of Sloth:
He also has no interest in taking over his family's empire (much to his father's chagrin), but that hasn't stopped women from throwing themselves at him . . . unless the woman in question is his publicist. Nothing brings him more joy than riling her up, but when a tragedy forces them closer than ever, he must grapple with the uncertainty of his future.
King of Envy:
Vuk Markovic is notorious for shunning human interactions. The scarred billionaire rarely talks, and he has no interest in relationships outside his small but trusted circle. His only exception? Her. The beauty to his beast, the object of his obsession. He saw her first. He wanted her first. But now, she's engaged to his oldest friend.
Macbeth
He's the best cop they've got.
When a drug bust turns into a bloodbath it's up to Inspector Macbeth and his team to clean up the mess. He's also an ex-drug addict with a troubled past. He's rewarded for his success. Power. Money. Respect. They're all within reach. But a man like him won't get to the top.
Plagued by hallucinations and paranoia, Macbeth starts to unravel. He's convinced he won't get what is rightfully his.
Unless he kills for it.

A tenger asszonyai
„Minden nő, aki a tengerbe merül, koporsót cipel a hátán…
Itt, a víz alatti világban nehéz élet terhét hordozzuk.
Nap mint nap élet és halál között egyensúlyozunk.”
A dél-koreai Csedzsu-sziget komor sziklái között élnek a henjo asszonyok – bátor nők, akik egy lélegzettel merülnek a jeges tenger mélyére, hogy kagylót és algát hozzanak a felszínre. Közülük való Jongszuk és Midzsa, akik gyermekkoruktól elválaszthatatlanok.
Egyikük a búvárkollektíva vezetőjének a lánya, a másik egy kollaboráns elárvult gyermeke. Amikor Midzsa elveszíti a szüleit, Jongszuk családja befogadja, és a lányok szinte testvérekként nőnek fel. Japán árnyéka és a diktatúra azonban átformálja a sziget életét, és a történelem sodrása kegyetlenül próbára teszi a két nő barátságát is.
A tenger asszonyai évtizedeken átívelő történet, mely a japán megszállás időszakától a második világháborún és a koreai háborún át egészen napjainkig kíséri el a szereplőket. Lisa See érzékeny, elsöprő erejű regénye a női barátság, a túlélés és az emberi lélek mélységeinek megrázó története – egy világé, ahol a tenger egyszerre az élet forrása és a veszteségek tanúja.
Ódon könyvek visszhangja
Az antikvárius Ashlyn Greer könyvimádata túlmutat a régi papír, nyomdafesték és bőr mámorító illatán.
Képes érezni és értelmezni a könyvek előző tulajdonosának érzelmi ujjlenyomatát, amit ,,a visszhang"-nak hív. Amikor talál két gyönyörűen bekötött, összeillő könyvet, amelyek soha nem kerültek a nyilvánosság elé, Ashlyn képessége gyorsan rögeszmévé válik.
Mindkét könyv ajánlásából meghökkentő vád olvasható ki, szerzőik, Hemi és Belle pedig ellentmondásosan mesélik el ugyanazt a tragikus szerelmi történetet.
Miközben Ashlyn e könyvek keletkezésének nyomát kutatja, egy több évtizedes irodalmi rejtély részesévé válik.
A két megtört szív a könyv lapjairól szólítja, bárkik is ők, bárhol vannak is. Eltökéli, hogy megtudja az elátkozott szerelmesek története mögött rejlő igazságot, ezért a megszegett ígéretek és látszólag
megbocsáthatatlan árulások nyomában beleveti magát a könyvekbe.
Minél többet tud meg Ashlyn Hemiről és Belle-ről, annál közelebb jut a történetük - csakúgy, mint a saját élete - félbehagyott fejezeteinek befejezéséhez.
Batman: Három Joker
Egy újabb kegyetlen bűncselekmény után Batman bizonyosságot szerez arról, amit már régóta sejtett: a pszichopata bűnöző, akit egész életében üldözött, nem egyetlen személy. Több Joker létezik. A bizonyíték megvan, Bruce immár válaszokat keres. Barbara Gordonnal (Batgirl) és Jason Toddal (Vörös Sisak), Joker két korábbi áldozatával szövetkezve a Sötét Lovag végre jó úton halad, hogy egyszer és mindenkorra leszámoljon a bűn bohóchercegével, akárhány is legyen belőle. De vajon nem pont ez volt a Jokerek szándéka is?
Geoff Johns és Jason Fabok képregénye az elmúlt évek egyik legnagyobb sikere, ami nem kisebb vállalást tűzött ki maga elé, mint újraértelmezni Joker mítoszát és megfogalmazni, miért is vívja örök harcát Batman ellen.
A kötet a teljes háromrészes Batman: Three Jokers minisorozatot tartalmazza.
Velký zlý lišák
Velký zlý lišák není ani velký ani zlý a má navíc neuvěřitelnou smůlu. Každý jeho pokus chovat se jako krutá šelma končí nějakou nehodou nebo neúspěchem, takže je pro smích celému okolí – především slepicím. Naštěstí je tu jeho samozvaný mentor vlk. Frustrovaný a hladový lišák, přežívající jen na tuřínové dietě, se nechá přemluvit ke geniálnímu plánu, jak slepice přelstít – ukrást jim vejce, vysedět je a vykrmená kuřátka si dát k obědu. Jenže to, co v teorii zní jednoduše, se v praxi ukáže jako velká komplikace a v komiksu Benjamina Rennera také jako nesmírně vtipné dobrodružství!
Velký zlý lišák (Le grand méchant renard), jeden z nejpopulárnějších francouzských komiksů nejen pro dětské publikum, byl vydán v roce 2015. Od svého vzniku získal řadu ocenění – Prix de la BD Fnac, Grand Prix des Lecteurs časopisu Le Journal de Mickey, Prix Jeunesse d’Angoul?me za nejlepší dětskou knihu.
Filmová adaptace pod názvem Velký zlý lišák a jiné příběhy (2017) navíc obdržela cenu César – francouzskou obdobu Oscara – za nejlepší animovaný film roku.
