You with the Sad Eyes - A Memoir
Christina Applegate came of age on sets and stages, expected to be on time, with lines learned, ready for lights-camera-action. Performing began as a financial necessity and became an emotional escape from a tumultuous home life in the infamous Laurel Canyon scene of the 1970s and 80s. She first gained stardom as an audience favourite playing Kelly Bundy in the sitcom Married...with Children and went on to captivate a vast fandom during her five-decade long career.
In You with the Sad Eyes, Applegate will unveil the full story of her years in the public eye, and the painful moments the public didn't see. She writes about gravitating to the grunge that defined the 90s and finding belonging in the legendary scene at The Viper Room; sparkling on set with fellow comedy icons in the soon to be canonized franchise Anchorman; sharing her love of dance on stage in the Broadway revival of Sweet Charity; and returning to the Emmy stage to a standing ovation in 2024 after her diagnosis of MS. She'll dive into the darker moments underpinning her outward success: her relationship with her mother who fought addiction and won, even in the wake of her father's abandonment; the self-doubt and body dysmorphia that have dogged her from a young age; and the abuse and depression that eroded her health. Her path is ever lit though, by lifelong friends, chosen family, and her experience as a mother. By working through her legacy on the page, Applegate invites readers to take her hand and hear a story not even those closest to her know fully.
You with the Sad Eyes boldly presents a formidable and iconoclastic woman who has had to let go of her acting career, of her ability to dance, of her sense of physical power, but has always fought to find a new and even more fulfilling way of being. The pain will be matched by the joy, the losses mitigated by the extraordinary, the weight of life lifted by Applegate's signature comedic genius.
In her own words, "I truly believe that books can make people feel less alone. That's why I'm doing this. You with the Sad Eyes won't be some big violin scratching for my life. But it will be real. It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humour and grief of life.
So here I am.
Real me.
Lots to say."
A teremtés tava
„Sadie Smith” – így mutatkozik be a francia vidéken található anarchista kommuna tagjainak a harmincnégy éves amerikai nő, aki tökéletes fedősztorival érkezik elvégezni küldetését. Sadie ugyanis ügynök, árnyékban mozgó megbízók parancsára igyekszik beépülni a célpontjai, a fiatal, radikális lázadók közé, akik forradalmat vizionálva az államhatalom felszámolásáról álmodoznak, ráadásul egyre közelebb kerülnek ahhoz, hogy tetté formálják az eszméiket. Sadie feladata: provokálni a tagokat, jelenteni róluk, és ha kell, megállítani őket. Bármi áron.
Azonban minden megváltozik, amikor felbukkan Bruno Lacombe, a radikálisok öreg mentora, a régmúlt megszállottja, aki csak e-mailben kommunikál a világgal, és aki szerint a modern élet problémáitól való szabaduláshoz nem a forradalom, hanem a visszatérés vezet – vissza az ősidőkig. Sadie, aki addig maga rángatta a szálakat, egyszer csak azt veszi észre: valaki más kezd játszani vele.
Rachel Kushner több irodalmi díjra jelölt regénye feszülten rétegzett thriller, szenvtelenül gyönyörű prózája egy olyan világba vezet, ahol a szerelem is fegyver, a múlt fikció, az igazság pedig csak egy újabb fedőtörténet. A teremtés tava hipnotikus olvasmány – kíméletlenül intelligens, sötéten ironikus és végzetesen lebilincselő.

But when Lucas discovers the secrets that Maya has been keeping from him, their love is tested to the limit, and when both return to Madrid, the turmoil of family ties and conflict tear them apart. Only when they can resolve their family traumas, can they begin to find their way back to each other.

The Shop on Hidden Lane
New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz dives into an enthralling new romantic suspense novel filled with deeply entrenched grudges, psychic dangers, and a conspiracy that threatens not only two families but also the entire paranormal community. The Harper and the Wells families have regarded each other with deep suspicion for four generations. The Harpers have been known to offer their psychic talents for less-than-legal purposes, and the powerful Wells clan has a reputation for playing both sides of the street. But for all the years of history and distrust between them, there is a mysterious pact binding the two. They share the responsibility for protecting a long-buried and very dangerous secret. Sophy Harper and Luke Wells are shocked to learn that her aunt and his uncle have been sleeping together-and now they are both missing. Not only that, but the last traces of them are at the scene of a murder soaked in negative paranormal energy. Clearly, someone is willing to kill to obtain the secret their families have been charged with protecting. Despite their mutual distrust, which, as far as Sophy is concerned extends to Luke's hellhound of a dog, they both know that the terms of the pact must be honored. Their investigation uncovers a psychic trail leading to a bizarre desert art colony where nothing is as it seems. But Luke and Sophy are concealing a few secrets, too. By a strange twist of fate, a Harper and a Wells have no choice but to trust each other and the fierce attraction that is binding them as surely as the pact between the families.

Days of Love and Rage
'A sweeping tour-de-force of investigative journalism' - Time magazine'Epic ... the definitive text of the war' - New York Times'As a many-layered portrait of revolution it is a triumph... never less than compelling' - The SpectatorIn 2011, in a city in northern Syria, a small group of men and women began a movement that overthrew a brutal dictatorship. For the next eighteen months, many of the citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times. Days of Love and Rage details the powerfully intimate narratives of the men and women who led this struggle, and who experienced the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal. Among them: a pair of best friends torn apart by political polarization, a mother who stands up to male dominance, and a worker who risks everything for the dream of equality. Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the broader story of rising authoritarianism in our times. Days of Love and Rage has the force, sweep and artistry of a great novel, and is ultimately a story of our enduring human need for dignity and hope.
