A viking fiai - Bosszú
866 TAVASZA, BRIT-SZIGETEK
A 15 éves Wulf kötéllel a nyakában áll az akasztófa alatt, amikor vikingek törnek be a faluba, és mindenkit lemészárolnak. Őt valamiért mégis életben hagyják, és magukkal viszik. Ahhoz azonban, hogy ne kelljen rabszolgasorban tengődnie élete végéig, bizonyítania kell a rátermettségét, és hasznos információkat kell adnia a szászokról. Hamarosan ugyanis rájön, hogy a falu elleni támadás nem volt véletlen: a híres viking, Ragnar Lodbrok öt fia - Vasbordájú Björn, Csonttalan Ivar, Kígyószemű Sigurd, Fehéringes Hálfdan és Ubbe - azért érkezett ide, hogy bosszút álljon apjuk feltételezett gyilkosán.
Ahogy Wulf egyre jobban megismeri a viking harcosok életét és intrikáit, éles eszének és jó megfigyelőképességének hála zavarba ejtő nyomokra bukkan. Lehet, hogy valamelyik testvér ölte meg az apjukat? És ha igen, miért? Miközben a Lodbrok-fiúk inváziója fenyegeti a vidéket, elkezdődik a versenyfutás az idővel - vajon Wulf be tudja bizonyítani, hogy ki a gyilkos, hogy ezzel megmentse magát, és megakadályozza még több ártatlan ember halálát?
A viking fiai - Bosszú izgalmas cselszövésekkel és véres harcokkal teli története Ragnar Lodbrok és fiai ősi legendáján alapul.

Special Brew
"This is the kind of book I like, recording all the 'runts in the litter' so to speak," says well-known motoring writer Graham Gauld. Robert Young documents in Special Brew the fascinating story of the Formula One and Libre specials that competed in the South African Drivers' Championship in its 'golden age' of the late 1950s and 1960s. Impecunious enthusiasts conceived and built these racing specials, the 'runts in the litter' to some, at a time when state-of-the-art machinery from abroad was unattainable or beyond their means. The result was the flowering of ingenious home-built designs such as Peter de Klerk's Alfa Special, Doug Serrurier's LDS marque, Gordon Henderson's Scorpions and Tony Kotze's low-slung Assegai. Complemented by a remarkable array of photographs, many in colour, Special Brew tells the story of these cars and the personalities associated with them in great detail, revealing many little-known facts, some drawn from the author's own observation while attending the events and from interviews with the personalities involved. This truly unique and 'special' book perfectly captures the atmosphere of racing at the time.
The Railway Murders
The vast majority of Britain’s railways were built between 1825 and 1900. By the turn of the nineteenth/twentieth century, over one-hundred different railway companies were operating in Britain on more than 22,000 miles of railway track. Although these new railways brought prosperity to the nation, and enabled goods and passengers to be speedily transported the length and breadth of the country for the first time, this remarkable feat of engineering brought with it some unwelcome side-effects, one of which was crime. A vast number of passengers travel on Britain’s railway network each day, and unfortunately, a considerable amount of crime does occur on our railways. The types of crime committed on Britain’s railways varies considerably from petty or minor crime, to more serious crimes. Most people would consider that the crimes of “murder” and “attempted murder” are amongst the most serious crimes committed in our country, irrespective of where these appalling acts take place. A substantial number of murders and attempted murders have taken place on the railway network of Britain, during its two-hundred years of operation, and details surrounding the vast majority of these cases are revealed in this book, some for the first time. The author has spent many months of research, mainly through old newspaper archives, in order to obtain establish and publish historical information about murders committed on Britain’s railways, many of which have been long forgotten, or lost in the annals of time.

Hey, Good Morning, How are you
Juno Isabella Flock is a dancer and performance artist who spends her days caring for her ailing husband, and her nights chatting to love scammers online. She's aware of the risks these men pose - she's watched a documentary about them - but she's also discovered a heady freedom in these online conversations, and the things they allow her to say.
When Juno meets Owen_Wilson223 - or, to use his real name, Benu - she senses an immediate connection between them, even though they're separated by thousands of miles. Gradually, they reveal more and more about themselves to each other: about their real selves, and about who they really want to be. And just as Juno sees through Benu's lies, he sees through hers too.
Hey, Good Morning, How Are You? is a whirlwind of a novel. It's about yearning to stay young while age marches on; it's about how to stay truthful while the internet changes everything; it's about love and desire in all their many, conflicting forms. And most of all, it's a novel about the way we are all connected, by the same constellations and the same night sky, however different our circumstances.
Koruna tak chladná a těžká
Naše životy už nikdy nebudou stejné. Nepřátelé mě obklopují ze všech stran. Moje koruna nikdy nebyla vzdálenější a smrt tak blízko. Uprostřed zrady, kterou jsme nemohli předvídat, udělám cokoli, abych našla cestu zpátky k Lorianovi – dřív než podlehne svému vzteku a zničí tento kontinent.
Spojenectví vznikají a rozpadají se, naši nepřátelé se sjednocují a Regnerovi pavouci se přiblížili víc než kdy dřív. Máme jedinou šanci, jak zabránit tomu, aby získal neomezenou moc a zotročil všechny lidi, víly i míšence ve čtyřech královstvích.
Mezitím král lidí věří, že jsem tu uvězněná, toužebně si přeju smrt a čekám, jestli mě nezachrání Lorian. Jenže Regner ještě nepochopil, že se nezastavím před ničím, abych svůj lid osvobodila. A ten, kdo by se měl bát, je on.

Girl Abroad - Londoni lány
Azért érkezett Londonba, hogy kilépjen az apja árnyékából.
Az nem szerepelt a tervei között, hogy beleszeret a lakótársaiba...
A 19 éves Abbey Bly végre maga mögött akarja hagyni rocksztár apja túlféltő szabályait.
Egy londoni tanulmányút jelenti számára a szabadulás lehetőségét,
egészen addig, míg be nem lép a szállására, és meg nem ismeri váratlan
lakótársait: egy lehengerlően vonzó rögbijátékost és egy titokzatos,
zárkózott zenészt. Viszont egy korábbi dráma miatt bevezetett szabály
szerint egyikükkel sem keveredhet viszonyba.
Két veszélyesen csábító fiú és egy magas rangú család
eltitkolt botránya, amibe a kutatómunkája kapcsán keveredik bele,
hamarosan titkok, perzselő vonzalom
és sorsfordító döntések örvényébe keverik a lányt.
Ha Abbey szerelemre, válaszokra és londoni jövőre vágyik,
el kell döntenie, mely szabályokat érdemes megszegnie,
és hogy kinek a szívét törje össze.

Keith Haring in 3D
A fresh perspective on the work of Keith Haring - one of the world’s most beloved contemporary artists - with a special focus on his three-dimensional work
From the moment he landed in NYC in 1978, Keith Haring took three-dimensional objects - whether discards on the street, household appliances, or subway walls - as his atypical canvas. From cars to vases to refrigerators and even a sarcophagus, these could often be rich sites of collaboration with artist contemporaries including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kenny Scharf, and LA2 (Angel Ortiz) among others. Extending his unmistakable mark-making to clothes, stage sets, and bodies inspired creative connections beyond the boundaries of the art world: Haring collaborated with the likes of Grace Jones, Bill T. Jones, Madonna, and Annie Leibovitz, the last of whom photographed Haring in an now-famous session during which he made his own body a canvas, painting himself to blend into an elaborate 3D environment. Although his career was brief, Keith Haring’s sculpture practice was a significant and integral facet of his extensive oeuvre, with his three-dimensional artworks found in museums and art collections worldwide.
Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Keith Haring in 3Dilluminates this rarely explored dimension of Haring’s work, and its role in his enduring legacy. The book’s generous format and engaging design, including more than 350 illustrations, invites readers to immerse themselves in the world Haring created. Featuring archival photographs of Haring at work, stunning reproductions of his art in three dimensions, and a trove of essays by respected curators, scholars, and collectors, Keith Haring in 3D celebrates in stunning detail the buoyant, brilliant work of one of the world’s most iconic artists.

Rowntree's – The Early History
The Rowntree family, especially Henry and the younger Joseph Rowntree are, along with the Fry’s, Cadbury’s, Mars and Terry’s, synonymous with the birth and growth of the chocolate industry in Britain. Between them, they were the chocolate industry in Britain. This book charts the fascinating story behind the birth and development of the chocolate empire that was Rowntrees. Background information to this astonishing business comes by way of chapters on the early history of the Rowntrees, contemporary York, the relationship between Quakers and chocolate, and the Tuke family – without whom there would have been no Rowntrees, and no Kit Kats. Henry, it is usually forgotten, was the founder of Rowntree’s – he made the momentous decision to sign the deal with the Tukes and we join him in those very early days of the fledgling company and watch how he helped it through some very dark, and sometimes humorous, times in what was then a very shambolic set up – cash strapped and making it up as the company lurched from crisis to crisis. Joseph, his elder brother, it was, who became the driving force to eventual global success, mixing his hectic business life with acts of compassion and a benevolent management model, all of which paved the way for decent wages, pensions, insurance and mutual respect in the workplace. Charity work extended beyond the factories to lift workers and others out of the slums of York to a life in a healthy model village, to provide a good social life, an extensive park, swimming pool and education for children and adults. More context is given with chapters on Joseph’s relentless industrial espionage, the advancements in chocolate production and 20th century rivals in the domestic and export markets, and mergers and acquisitions. Rowntree’s role in the two world wars is also covered along with the struggle Joseph Rowntree had accepting the importance of advertising. Altogether this book gives two fascinating biographies of two exceptional and driven brothers who came together to form one of our greatest companies - producing some of our best loved confectionery products.
