A viskó - Éldekorált kiadás
„Szinte látta, ahogy egy fekete szakadék nyílik meg a padlón a fegyver mögött, amelyre meredt, sötét verem, ami a remény utolsó foszlányait is kiszippantja a szívéből. Ha végezne magával, azzal jól visszavághatna Istennek - már ha Isten egyáltalán létezik.”
Mackenzie „Mack” Allen Philips titokzatos levelet kap Nagy Szomorúsága negyedik évében. Az állítólagosan Istentől származó üzenet abba az elhagyott házikóba - a viskóba - invitálja, ahol négy évvel ezelőtt rátaláltak elrabolt és valószínűleg meggyilkolt lánya, Missy véres ruháira. Mack maga sem igazán tudja, miért, de egy szeles délután elindul az oregoni vadonban található viskóba, vissza legsötétebb rémálmába. És amit ott talál, örökre megváltoztatja a világát.
Wm. Paul Young regénye, amely azt az örök kérdést boncolgatja, hogy hol található Isten az elviselhetetlen fájdalommal teli világban, az elmúlt két évtized egyik legsikeresebb és legnagyobb hatású könyve világszerte. A magyar olvasók most a régóta várt folytatás közelgő megjelenése alkalmából új fordításban vehetik kézbe A viskót.
O slavných psech a jejich lidech (a naopak)
Proč lidé tolik milují své psy? Kde se vzalo ono odvěké pouto, které přetrvává napříč staletími? Daňa Horáková nachází odpovědi v příbězích o lidech, pro které pes patří k rodině, a tvrdí: „Teploučké štěně – které se k tobě důvěryhodně přitulí, aby si zdřímlo, a ty pak nehnutě dřepíš hodinu po hodině, abys je neprobudil –, je daleko účinnější terapie než hrst antidepresiv – jednou pejskař, navždy pejskař.“ Což by nepochybně podepsal i Sigmund Freud, který svého psa miloval víc než svého vnuka; Maria Callas, která se svým pudlíkem intonovala duety; Apple-tvůrce Steve Jobs, který díky své Jenny začal zpochybňovat svůj mrazivý perfekcionismus; Agatha Christie, která svému foxteriérovi věnovala román; Paul McCartney, který svou fenku zvěčnil v písni Martha, Franz Kafka a Jaroslav Hašek, císařovna Sisi a Picasso… Danina knížka zahřeje u srdce, což v dnešní době potřebujeme víc než kdy jindy.

Sodom and Gomorrah
'the metamorphosis of Monsieur de Charlus into a new person was so complete that... everything which had appeared incoherent to me until then, was becoming intelligible, and self-evident'The fourth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time extends the protagonist's journey of discovery into the social world of fin-de-siecle France. As the biblically inflected title, Sodom and Gomorrah, suggests, however, this world has taken on a new colouring. Through a succession of observations--both voyeuristic and overt--Proust's protagonist encounters and begins to appreciate the great diversity of sexual identities and proclivities that underpin human relations. At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter, gossip, and position-taking, is the Baron de Charlus, whose relationship with the working-class Charlie Morel is a central preoccupation of the narrative. This volume lays bare the ways in which ambitions and desires are nurtured, projected, masked, and exposed. Suffering, in love, is rarely far away. Sodom and Gomorrah explores frictions between the social classes via the Verdurins' upward climb and the ways in which the impulses of desire can cut across society's arbitrary boundaries. The narrator recounts his retrospective devastation at the death of his grandmother, and while his connection to Albertine deepens, it is his uncertainty about the true nature of her sexual identity that binds him closer to her, leading to a fraught denouement that paves the way for the next, fateful phase of their relationship. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Legs Hearts Minds
Returning home from a work trip, too jet-lagged to fall asleep, Chris Jones opened his wife’s laptop intending to get some writing done. Instead, he found a series of text messages that would burn his world to the ground. In the span of twenty minutes, he lost his wife and his best friend. Overwhelmed by sorrow and often terrifying rage, Jones contemplated suicide. He soon ended up in an emergency room, begging a doctor for help. That was the start of his journey to understand himself, to come to terms with his mistakes, to let go of anger and find forgiveness, and to give himself over to something outside of himself: an underdog English football team from an underdog northern town called Burnley. How does one rebuild a life? Can something as simple as football give someone a reason to live, offering solace and ultimately meaning? In this searing, beautiful memoir, Jones learns who we are when we care deeply. His journey through heartbreak and healing becomes a moving portrait of modern masculinity - flawed, feeling, and profoundly human.

There is much pleasure to be taken from this book’ - Tom Fort, Gamefisher‘Yet, sitting here at the beginning of that journey, I realise there is a different path I must follow. This entails not a simple exploration of a single river, or the fish I might catch from it, but an understanding of what it is that makes someone an angler – what it is that makes me an angler. … Although I don’t always need a rod in my hand to feel as if I belong by the riverside, it was angling that helped open my eyes. And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’From childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him. It is a book about fishing. But it’s also a book about living, surviving the difficult times and remembering to breathe. ‘A moving treatise on the way we deal with the dark things that life throws at us’ - BBC Countryfile magazine‘I very much enjoyed this book ... thoughtful and interesting’ - Mark Avery, author of Inglorious

Mother Tongue
In this emotionally rich first memoir, the New York Times bestselling author of True Biz retraces her path out of the hearing world and into the deaf community - and seeks to understand the journeys her own children must take.Sara Nović''s early years were filled with music, Bible study, and a strong desire to fit in. But when she failed her school''s mandated hearing test, her worldview was thrown into chaos. Desperate not to be marked as different, she told no one, staying in the hearing world for as long as she could by brute force. Eventually unable to ignore the fact that she was deaf, Nović sought out other deaf people and was welcomed into a tight knit community rooted in the beauty and joy of American Sign Language. Nović realized that rather than maintaining the facade of her old life or trying to straddle two worlds, she would need to cultivate a life in the space between. Now the mother of two young sons - one, biological and hearing, the other, adopted and deaf-Nović reflects on her life both before and after parenthood. She''s raising her children within the deaf world, offering them things her younger self needed, all the while knowing that as her children grow, their own paths will branch off from hers in ways she cannot fully predict or plan for. Interwoven with Novic''s personal story is a remarkable portrait of America through reflections on some of its most complex histories: the rise of the Christian right, the thorny world of international adoption, and above all, the deaf and disabled communities'' stubborn survival in the face of persistent oppression. Nović''s clear, bold voice is one readers will hold onto, learn from, argue with, and be inspired by, as she asks us to recognize difference as a source of opportunity rather than fear, as a chance to draw families and communities together, and to build something new.
