Kieron Smith, boy
Rejected by his brother and largely ignored by his parents, Kieron Smith finds comfort – and endless stories – in the home of his much-loved grandparents. But when his family move to a new housing scheme on the outskirts of Glasgow, a world away from the close community of the tenements, Kieron struggles to find a way to adapt to his new life. Kieron Smith, boy is a brilliant evocation of an urban childhood. Capturing the joys, frustrations, injustices, excitements, revels, battles, games, uncertainties, questions, lies, discoveries and sheer wonder of boyhood, it is a story of one boy and every boy. It is James Kelman at his very best.

Férgek szimfóniája
Egy kártevő elpusztítására küldték. Helyette egy szörnyeteggel találta szemben magát.
Legyetek üdvözölve Tiliard dekadens és halálos városában! Egy metropoliszban, melyet egy ősi fa tönkjéből vájtak ki: lombozatában a társadalom elkényeztetett elitje mérgező parfümökkel torzítja el a többiek elméjét, gyökerei között pedig kártevőirtók csapatai vadásznak hátborzongató teremtményekre, melyek nem csak különösek, de gyakran egészen veszélyesek is.
Ebben a bonyolult, kaotikus városban Guy Mouléne kártevőirtót egyetlen egyszerű cél mozgatja: meg akarja akadályozni, hogy a húga is adósként élje le az életét. Az ő érdekében bármilyen munkát elvállal, legutóbbi prédája viszont merőben különbözik az eddigiektől: egy szépségre éhes, sárkányméretű százlábú, melynek halálos a mérge, és mohón falja a műalkotásokat. Ahogy a gigantikus féreg a csatornáktól az operaházig megemészti Tiliardot, mérge átalakítja a város jövőjét.
Épeszű ember nem eredne a lény nyomába. Guy-nek azonban nincs más választása.
Hiron Ennes, a Pióca díjnyertes szerzőjének várva várt második regénye nem puszta szörnyvadászat: a Férgek szimfóniája groteszk, sötét fantasztikum, amely társadalmi rétegeket, korrupt hatalmat, valamint a szépség és romlás felforgató kapcsolatát vizsgálja.

Uram, te mindent tudsz
Mi vezet el oda egy papot, aki élethosszig tartó szolgálatra esküdött fel, hogy belássa, egyszerűen nincs tovább?
2023 elején Hodász András, az ország egyik legismertebb katolikus papja, a Papifrankó Youtube-csatorna ismert arca több nyilvános konfliktus után végleg kilépett az egyház szolgálatából. Közel tíz év után fejezte be pályáját, a döntést saját maga hozta meg, de korántsem könnyen. A távozását hosszú ideig találgatások, félmondatok és spekulációk kísérték, egyértelmű indoklásra részéről azonban nem került sor.
Ebben a könyvben Hodász András most őszintén beszél mindarról, ami eddig a nyilvánosság elől rejtve maradt: belső küzdelmeiről, az egyházi eljárásrend visszásságairól, a kimondatlan elvárásokról és a váratlan politikai nyomásról.
Az Uram, te mindent tudsz kendőzetlen látlelet egyház és politika összefonódásáról, a hit intézményi és személyes határairól, valamint arról, hogyan lehet másokat támogatni és vigasztalni akkor, amikor az ember maga is a határaihoz érkezik. Hodász András első önéletrajzi könyvében tabuk nélkül osztja meg az olvasóval papi pályájának eddigi ismeretlen részleteit, önfeláldozó küzdelmét nála sokkal nagyobb erőkkel szemben, és hogy legnagyobb elkeseredettségében hogyan talált rá a reményre.
A pöttyös takaró esti meséi
A kis hétalvó már alig várta, hogy a mogyorós pele náluk aludjon. Mindent megtesz, hogy a barátja otthon érezze magát náluk, ám ő esti mese nélkül nem tud elaludni. A kis hétalvó sajnos egy egészen pindurit sem ismer, ezért útnak indul, és az erdő lakóitól kér segítséget. Talán a róka vagy a harkály, esetleg a szerelmes béka tud egyet?
A kis pele első mesekönyve a barátságról, a képzeletről és arról, hogy a legszebb történetek sokszor ott vannak körülöttünk - csak meg kell találnunk őket.
Ebben a bankban mindenki tolvaj
Tíz gyanúsított. Tíz rablás. Egy újabb lehetetlen rejtély, amit csak Ernest Cunningham oldhat meg.
Az elmúlt években elég sok gyilkosságot sikerült felgöngyölítenem. De egy bankrablás… na, az még nekem is új. Túsz pedig még sosem voltam.
Az ajtókat lezárták, senki sem juthat ki vagy be. Így, amikor valakit holtan találnak a bankban, hirtelen minden túsz gyanúsítottá válik:
A BANKRABLÓ
A FIÓKVEZETŐ
A BIZTONSÁGI ŐR
A KISFIÚ
A PRODUCER
A PAP
A RECEPCIÓS
A BETEG
A GONDOZÓ
ÉS MÉG ÉN IS
Hamarosan kiderül, hogy nem csak egyvalaki tervezte kirabolni ma a bankot. És nem mindenki a pénzért jött. Ki mit akar ellopni? Mi ér olyan sokat, hogy gyilkoljanak érte? És vajon meg tudom oldani az ügyet, mielőtt a rendőrség ránk töri az ajtót, hogy megmentsen minket?
Ernest Cunningham, mindannyiunk kedvenc nyomozójának legújabb kalandja pont olyan csavaros és szórakoztató, mint az eddigiek. Benjamin Stevenson méltán népszerű sorozata immár milliós eladással büszkélkedhet világszerte.

Off the Record
An aspiring newspaper reporter comes across a mystery that threatens to turn the Cold War hot in a funny, thrilling, and strictly undercover romantic comedy by the bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write. In 1962, opportunities are typically few for nice Jewish girls clacking away at ninety words per minute in a newspaper typing pool. Except Judy Greenberg isn’t typical. An aspiring reporter in DC, she’s aiming for journalistic greatness—not finding a husband. Just don’t tell her mother. Then one day she answers her boss’s private line. The message is curiously cryptic. It’s also delivered in a Russian accent. Judy is certain she has stumbled upon a scoop. Charming reporter Jack Fields isn’t one to dismiss Judy’s instincts. Perfect. A seasoned ally she can trust, not to mention pass off as a pretend boyfriend around her relieved parents. Together, they’re following the leads—from a clandestine hotel bar to the dressing room of a slinky Cuban nightclub singer to an exhilarating underground of secrets and spies stretching from Moscow to Havana to Texas. Now Judy must choose between the safe life expected of her or one hell of a dangerous story that could make her career. She might even fall in love for real. If her ambitions don’t get her killed.
Equine
A compassionate, insightful guide to humanity’s relationship with the horse, with evidence-based training tips. Weaving together science, history and narrative, Equine traces our bond with the horse across 6000 years of co-existence. It takes the reader on a journey of discovery, from the evolutionary beginnings of Eohippus, the Dawn Horse through to the domestication of horses, their use during wartime, and their place in our lives today. The book opens with a detailed look at the evolution of the horse, with fascinating insight into how particular characteristics and traits evolved to become today’s modern animal: fast, vigilant, and with a strong herd instinct. The horse’s brain, senses and abilities are all fully explored. In the book’s second half, the author turns her considerable expertise to how the horse learns, and helps readers understand proven, effective and compassionate training methods for the animals they work with. Through her focus on welfare, and by making accessible the complex science of ethology and training, experienced trainer and author Portland Jones entices readers to share the awe and wonder she experiences when working with horses. Equine is for anyone who works with horses, rides them, or simply admires this most beautiful of creatures.
Both Sides Now
The story of a national treasure we won't soon forget – by the woman who knew him best. I mention you’ve been smoking. ‘He mustn’t!’ she says, alarmed. ‘There’s so much oxygen in your house he’d explode.’ There is a funny side to this — a cartoonish end: Johnnie Walker DJ Explodes! Just try not to take the house with you. In Johnnie Walker – Both Sides Now, his devoted wife Tiggy shares the final chapter of their life together: the slow, painful goodbye to the man she adored. She reflects on the soaring highs of Johnnie’s legendary Radio 2 career, as they navigate the heartbreak, frustration, and strange intimacy of anticipatory grief. This is an honest, deeply personal portrait of love and loss — a raw, life-affirming tribute to a remarkable life well-lived. With wit and unflinching clarity, Tiggy lays bare the emotional toll of caring for someone at the end of life, and the impossible task of letting go while still holding on. Not just for those who loved Johnnie Walker — this is for anyone who’s known the tangled, messy grace of caring, grieving and loving, all the way to the final breath.
The Sourdough Compendium
Award-winning stories from the world of All the Murmuring Bones and The Briar Book of the Dead, this is a compendium of fantastic tales from the dark gothic heart of the Sourdough universe. Witches, assassins and pirates are brought to life in immersive, sinister and magical prose. Comprised of three collections (Sourdough and Other Stories, The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings and The Tallow-Wife and Other Tales) these mosaic narratives form much of the foundational mythology for the novels All the Murmuring Bones, The Path of Thorns, The Briar Book of the Dead The Crimson Road and A Forest, Darkly. Within these pages, coffin-makers work hard to keep the dead buried and their own murderous urges in check; poison girls are schooled in the art of marital assassination; books carry forth stories and forbidden secrets; a young witch wreaks a terrible revenge on an old lover; the Little Sisters of St Florian devote their lives to knowledge good and bad; a dying forest god is reinvigorated; mermaids and seamstresses make dangerous bargains; changelings bring havoc. Saints slumber, hind-girls dance across the countryside, bears show their true colours, and the fate of the upper and lower worlds rests on the whim of a volatile plague maiden... Exquisite, compelling and rich with unforgettable characters, these stories layer and intertwine in the dexterous hands of a master storyteller. All three collections were shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award with The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings winning the award. This is beautiful fairy-tale gothic of the most haunting and dangerous kind.
The Fiercest Kind
Artists fighting racism and sexism from the end of the Great Depression through the Civil Rights era In 1943, the production of the Columbia Pictures film The Heat’s On halted for three days due to an on-set protest by featured performer Hazel Scott. Appalled by the racially demeaning and stereotypical depictions of Black women extras and dancers, Scott—one of the top African American performers of the era—forced the studio to relent. But her protest of Hollywood racism angered powerful white men in the industry, and despite her rising career, she was soon banished from American film. Scott was far from the only Black woman in a creative field to use her professional success as leverage against prejudice. In The Fiercest Kind, cultural historian H. Zahra Caldwell explores the biographical narratives of five Black women at the top of their artistic crafts in the mid-20th century to understand how they pushed back against racism and sexism. From 1937–1963, pianist Hazel Scott, dancer Katherine Dunham, cartoonist Jackie Ormes, multihyphenate fine artist (graphic artist, painter, and sculptor) Elizabeth Catlett, and singer Lena Horne were among the most popular and nationally known Black women in their respective fields, spanning film, television, print media, and fine art. Generating creative works at the end of the Great Depression through the Civil Rights era, they used their professional and personal lives to confront seemingly insurmountable repression through what Caldwell defines as “layered resistance.” A Black feminist practice, layered resistance consists of four tactics: claiming and adapting cultural spaces for Black women; strategically crafting positive images of Black womanhood that directly challenge white supremacy; combining performance and/or visual representation with social and political activism; and choosing unconventional lifestyles that defy rigid gender and racial norms. These artists also lived in, worked in, and supported important Black spaces such as Harlem and Black Chicago. Using a methodology that combines textual analysis, archival research, and oral history, Caldwell understands this strategy within larger movements for Black freedom and equality that spanned the twentieth century and continue to the present day.
The Religious Left
An incisive examination of progressive faith-based activism and its impact on American public lifeWhile the Religious Right often dominates headlines, the Religious Left has been a persistent and influential force in shaping public policy across a wide spectrum of issues – from immigration and climate change to gun reform, marriage equality, and criminal justice. Despite its lower visibility, its contributions have been substantial, though not always successful. In The Religious Left, Robert Wuthnow offers a compelling analysis of progressive religious activism over the past 25 years. Drawing on policy documents, denominational reports, and public testimony, he highlights the work of key leaders and organizations operating largely behind the scenes. The book places contemporary efforts in historical context, tracing their roots to the Social Gospel movement of the nineteenth century and examining how strategies and priorities have evolved. Through in-depth case studies of nine major issues, Wuthnow assesses the strengths and limitations of the Religious Left's approach to advocacy. He offers thoughtful recommendations for faith leaders and congregations seeking to engage more effectively in progressive activism – especially at a time when democracy itself is embattled.
