Eagle Days
TELEGRAPH HISTORY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025By the summer of 1940, Great Britain watched as France succumbed to the might of Adolf Hitler’s forces. Her forces driven off the continent, many rescued from capture at Dunkirk, only the Royal Air Force, supported by the country’s newly established radar system, now stood in the way of the country being invaded. Herman Goering had promised his Fuhrer his air force would sweep the British skies of all opposition to allow Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of southern England, to commence. The intense aerial combat over the coming months across the English Channel and the countryside of southeast England would not reflect the optimism of Nazi propaganda. Researching and blending a diverse range of primary sources together (Luftwaffe air crews’ personal letters and diaries), with official combat reports, and contemporary German newspapers, Victoria Taylor weaves a rich, multifaceted tapestry of the military, political, social and cultural influences that shaped the German air force’s mentality and morale during the Battle of Britain. Eagle Days transforms the Luftwaffe’s historical role during the RAF’s ‘Finest Hour’ from a cartoonish antagonist to a multidimensional, flawed-yet-formidable opponent. The narrative contains not just the voices of the air crews who conducted the fighting, but uniquely never-before-translated primary source material of other contemporary eyewitnesses, (Luftwaffe’s paratroopers, anti-aircraft gunners and air signalmen). Eagle Days will offer all fans of this period a refreshing, comprehensive and exciting new account of the Luftwaffe’s real experiences during the Battle of Britain.
Pride and Prejudice in Space
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is arguably the forerunner of all romantic comedies and certainly one of her most popular and irreverent works. And now, graphic designer and Nerdy Ink co-owner—and obsessive fan of Pride and Prejudice—Alexis Lampley gives this timeless, classic, Regency-era romance a new twist, setting it among the stars in a futuristic universe where spaceships and interplanetary travel are the daily norm. Featuring numerous illustrations of the Londinium Lunar System, drawings of gowns by Lydia Bennet, and spaceship designs by Elizabeth Bennet, this is a futuristic take on a classic by a dedicated Jane Austen fan, for Austen newbies and super-fans alike.

Upon A White Horse
*A RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK, FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOKS OF 2025, SCOTSMAN BOOKS OF 2025, COUNTRY LIFE BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2025*'Packed with anecdote and colour, it's a surprisingly touching portrait of the countries' - Financial Times, Best Books of 2025'An insightful and engaging reflection on the appeal of the ancient' - The Times'I'm a card-carrying admirer of Peter Ross' - Robert MacfarlaneThe prehistoric sites of Britain and Ireland are places of wonder and wondering. Who made these structures? What did they mean to them? And what do they mean to us no? uthor of the bestseller Steeple Chasing and prize-winning A Tomb With A View, Peter Ross journeys from midwinter at Stonehenge to midsummer at Sycamore Gap. Along the way he encounters bog bodies in Dublin, a wooden goddess in Edinburgh and a chalk giant in Dorset. He asks what it is like to live within the great stone circle at Avebury, what rituals occurred in an Anglesey tomb and what draws volunteers to care for the Uffington White Horse. These objects and structures speak of the long human story. They offer the comfort of recognition and the pleasure of mystery. There is something about ancient places that fills a hollow in our souls. Upon A White Horse is a celebration of landscape and people - and all that is beautiful, strange and old. 'Ross scores highly on his intuitive interpretations of places and his non-judgemental observations of human nature; he is empathetic, but can stand back' - Country Life'Ross is a wonderfully evocative writer, deftly capturing a sense of place and history, while bringing a deep humanity to his subject' - Guardian
Feldúlt Éden
A valóságnál is elképesztőbb történet a Galápagos-szigeteken a 20. század elején, tele szenvedéllyel, tragédiával és rejtéllyel.
A nagy gazdasági világválság idején a Los Angeles-i olajmágnás, George Allan Hancock és a Smithsonian Intézet tudóscsapata a távoli Galápagos egyik szigetén hátborzongató leletre bukkant: két, a perzselő hőségben mumifikálódott holttestre. A szigeten egy európaiakból álló kis közösség telepedett meg. A politikai és gazdasági zűrzavar elől menekültek ide, hogy megteremtsék a maguk paradicsomát. Az apró sérelmek azonban idővel egyre ádázabb összetűzésekké fajultak, és az éden pokollá változott. Abbott Kahler korábban nem publikált archív anyagok felhasználásával tárja fel e különös, Agatha Christie regényeit idéző történetet, amelyet 2024-ben Ron Howard vitt filmvászonra.
„Amikor magához tért a Hacienda mellett vezető ösvényen, friss véraláfutásokat pillantott meg a karján; összeverték, mialatt eszméletlen volt. Feltápászkodott. Nem evett és nem ivott semmit aznap reggel, lángolt a feje a naptól, és hányingertől kavargott a gyomra. Két napig kóborolt a szigeten. Aztán meg sem állt, míg Friedóba nem ért, s most, hogy végre itt van, Doréhoz és Friedrichhez fordul segítségért. Ki akar akasztani egy feliratot a Posta-öbölben, hátha az egyik idelátogató hajó magával viszi.”
Drowning Souls – Whitestone Hospital
Minden, amit egész életemben felépítettem, az összes fal és bástya, a védőpajzsaim – minden a káosz áldozatává válik. Sierra Harris nagy erőfeszítések árán fejezte be orvosi tanulmányait. Most pedig, a Whitestone Hospital rezidens orvosaként, még inkább bizonyítani akarja, hogy többet tud annál, mint amit a vizsgaeredményei mutatnak.
Teljesen a munkájára koncentrál, és nem enged meg magának semmilyen zavaró tényezőt. Igyekszik túllépni a bántalmazó anyjához fűződő fájdalmas kapcsolatán, és elkerülni önfejű és vonzó kollégáját, Mitch Riverát. Ám amikor a kórházban megrendítő baleset történik, a világ egy pillanatra megáll. Sierra az elsők közt érkezik a helyszínre, és a tény, hogy Mitch is a sérültek között van, azonnal kihúzza a talajt a lába alól.
Sierra korábbi szándéka, hogy távol tartsa magától a férfit, és hogy érzelmeit eltemetve haladjon a céljai felé, meginog a traumatikus események sorozatában. Be kell látnia, hogy Mitch már réges-rég belopta magát a gondolataiba – és a szívébe... És bár a maga köré húzott falak megvédik, de a boldogságtól is megfosztják őt.

The Caretaker
EXCITING OPPORTUNITY:
Caretaker urgently needed. Three days of work. Competitive pay. Serious applicants ONLY.

Besides, it's only three days' work…
Three days, cooped up in a stranger's house, surrounded by Oregon Coast wilderness.
What starts as a peculiar side gig soon becomes a waking nightmare. An incomprehensible evil may dwell on this property-and Macy Mullins might just be the only thing standing between it, and the rest of humanity.

Víra vrytá pod kůži
Tetování – dnes moderní trend, dříve znak trestanců, kód kriminálního podsvětí či „exotický prvek“ vzdálených kultur. A také znamení víry v křesťanského Boha?

Philosophy in the Reformation
In this latest volume of A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps, Peter Adamson presents a lively and accessible introduction to European philosophy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.Philosophy in the Reformation focuses on the parallel and intertwining emergence of humanism and of religious reform, as figures like Erasmus, Luther, and Calvin remade the intellectual and spiritual life of Europe. In the first three parts of the book, philosophical developments in central Europe, France, and Britain are examined. A wide range of topics and controversies are discussed, from debates over free will to the legitimacy of tyrannicide. This was also the time of the Northern Renaissance, which saw a resurgence of ancient concepts like skepticism and atomist theories of matter. The volume''s final section charts the Catholic reaction to these epochal events in the Counter-Reformation, and especially the ideas of Spanish thinkers like Molina and Suárez. Quite a few familiar figures are discussed, such as Montaigne and Copernicus. But as always in this series, Adamson lavishes attention on fascinating figures who are often ignored in the history of philosophy, like John Dee, Robert Fludd, and Oliva Sabuco (who is just one of numerous women intellectuals covered). Another feature of the book is its attention to literature and the arts: the reader will learn how the achievements of Dürer, Michelangelo, Shakespeare, and Cervantes relate to philosophical currents of the time. The eighth volume in the A History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps series takes us to the threshold of the early modern era and sets the stage for the developments that unfolded during the Enlightenment.
