Távol Louisianától
Az amerikai indián Ischate és a kreol úrihölgy, Suzette sorsa a 18. századi Louisianában fonódik össze, ám társadalmi és kulturális értelemben is egy világ választja el őket egymástól: az indián fiú bölcs harcos, ám a kreolok szemében egyszerű "vadember˝. Ezzel szemben Suzette egy vagyonos New Orleans-i kereskedő lánya, aki gyermekkorától kezdve a társadalmi, erkölcsi és illemszabályok béklyójában él. A két fiatal gyermekkori találkozása mindkettőjük életét örökre megváltoztatja, és ebben a sodró lendületű műben végigkísérhetjük, amint az évtizedek során szembenéznek azon akadályokkal, amelyeket a társadalom és a történelem eléjük gördít. A spanyol szerző, Luz Gabás Planeta-díjjal (2022) jutalmazott regénye több, mint egy szerelmi történet, hiszen a fiatalok viszontagságain keresztül bemutatja az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Európa történelmének meghatározó időszakát - az amerikai függetlenségi háborútól a francia forradalomig -, s közben olyan fontos fogalmakról gondolkodtat el, mint a hűség, a haza és a szerelem.

The August Coup
'Lively and insightful' – The Times‘Superb . . . A work of quite exceptional scholarship and narrative verve’ – Literary Review‘A must-read for those fascinated by the decline and fall of the USSR’ – Mark Galeotti'Immensely well-researched and compellingly written . . . grips the reader from page one' – Andrew RobertsFrom the acclaimed author of Kremlin Winter and Blood on the Snow, a dramatic and expertly researched account of an extraordinary moment in Russia’s recent history: the August Coup. In the summer of 1991, a group of eight plotters came together to overthrow Mikhail Gorbachëv, then the president of the USSR. These ruthless conspirators, who occupied positions of high office, declared a state of emergency to restore stability through authoritarian rule. The reality turned out to be a shambolic failure which hastened the fall of the USSR and a pivotal shift from communism to capitalism. Beginning with a minute-by-minute re-enactment of Gorbachëv’s capture in his holiday home in Crimea, Robert Service follows the plot from its inception to its humiliating collapse. The troubling side effects of Gorbachëv’s well-meant reforms in the Soviet Union – business fraud, government corruption, organized crime and interethnic conflict – increased exponentially, and a New Russia was born. Fathered by Boris Yeltsin, it brought lamentably less benefit to the Russian economy or its people than he had promised. Linking the years from the coup itself to today’s Russia under Vladimir Putin, The August Coup is a thoroughly compelling and original chronicle of a moment that changed Russian and global politics forever.
The Big Hop
A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today. But it is only possible because of those who went first. ‘Vivid and compelling’ John Lancaster‘A delectable serving of escapist nostalgia’ The Times, Book of the WeekNewfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft – made mainly from wood and stiff linen – struggled to take off from the North American island’s rocky slopes. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold and barely able to move, but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them, and as the waves raged a few miles below, memories of wartime crashes resurfaced . . . Mining letters, diaries and evocative unpublished photographs, David Rooney’s deeply researched account of this audacious contest shows how it was the airmen’s thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the ‘Big Hop’, and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure. ‘Excellent… consists of colourful biographical sketches of the aviators who took part in the competition and thrilling accounts of their efforts’ Daily Mail‘A glorious romp through an overlooked part of aviation history, stuffed full of intriguing characters and white-knuckle courage’ Sunday Times
Heirs and Graces
THE FASCINATING NEW HISTORY OF THE BRITISH ARISTOCRACY SINCE THE SECOND WORLD WARA Financial Times Best History Book of 2025'A superb survey of the aristocracy today and how we got here… A marvellous book' - The Times'An enthralling chronicle of the British aristocracy' - Financial Times'Eleanor Doughty is a shrewd, measured analyst, her writing aided by a lively pen and wry sense of humour.' - Country Life'A deeply researched and highly entertaining account' - Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey'This well-written, well-researched and fascinating book could not be better timed.' -Lord (Andrew) Roberts, author of The Chief: The Life of Lord Northcliffe Britain's Greatest Press Baron-------There are fewer than 5000 people who can genuinely claim to be members of the British aristocracy, and yet they loom large in the popular consciousness. We're fascinated by their houses and estates, their lives and loves, their foibles and eccentricities. And we entertain the strong suspicion that, while they may be fellow citizens, they are very far from being People Like Us. In Heirs and Graces Eleanor Doughty draws on her unparalleled access to a bewildering range of dukes, duchesses, earls and others to create a vivid picture of who they are and how they tick. En route she traces their progress from a post-war era when they and their like were described by one future Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer as 'selfish, depraved, dissolute and decadent' to their diverse current roles as guardians of vast ancestral mansions, farmers, financiers and much else beside. She looks at key rites of passage, from cradle, via boarding school to grave. And she tells stories of their ups and downs, and of the doings of the heroes and villains who fill their ranks. The result is a wonderfully rich, often amusing, always revealing account of the fortunes of the aristocracy over the past century and a series of fascinating glimpses into what it is like to be an aristocrat in Britain today.
No Fair Maidens
'I loved this book. Memoir, myth and magic wrapped up together.' Emily Hauser'Kim Willis is an expert storyteller' Emma GannonThrough the threads of folklore, mythology, memoir, history and landscape, No Fair Maidens identifies a better way of being for modern women, and crafts a new vision for Britain where women are - and always were - a force of nature. As Kim Willis drifts from the traditional path of marriage and motherhood, she yearns for a new set of stories to light her way. Here, she is pulled towards the source of the Severn, hearing whispers of ancient matriarchs: shape-shifting enchantresses, scaly nymphs and goddesses who once commanded our lands. These are no fair maidens, but powerful warrioresses and animalistic beasts, snaking along the edges of watery places where we meet the otherworld in the shadows. As she uncovers the ancient myths hidden in the rugged landscapes of the British Isles, the stories of women like Arianrhod, Melusine and Cerridwen awaken a forgotten power. Journeying from the Severn to Skye, Eryri to Northumberland, Kim discovers new magic in the tales of old, unveiling forgotten truths about grief and healing, while charting a new course through sisterhood and sexuality, fertility and freedom. 'This book is an act of excavation, and an act of remembering.'
Why Machiavelli Matters Now
A comprehensive exploration of Machiavelli’s life and thought – covering everything from his preoccupation with truth, fortune, and power, to his frequently bawdy poetry, love affairs, and friendships. Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what Machiavelli really believed – and why he matters so much today. Who was Niccolo Machiavelli and why should we consider him relevant to the problems and vexations of the modern world? Stephen Bowd and Alexander Lee aim to ‘defamiliarize’ Machiavelli. Given that he is so well known, if only by name, and the subject of such grave misconceptions and prejudice, the authors set out to explain why he is not the ‘Machiavellian’ figure he is supposed to be, and that he was not just a political thinker. Examining his frequently bawdy poetry, his comedies and his love affairs and friendships, this book will lead modern readers on an exhilarating and thought-provoking journey through Machiavelli’s mind, bringing him to life and illuminating why such a seminal thinker should be of urgent interest to us today.

Experts in a Dying Field
'Offbeat, ironic, humane and hilarious, Experts in a Dying Field is an earworm you’ll be humming along to for a long time to come.' PAUL MURRAY'A wonderfully evocative novel from a major storytelling talent.’ JOSEPH O'CONNOR‘Just pure joy and pure heartbreak and GENUINE LAUGHS all the way through. I cried a few times too.’ MARINA HYDE---The Heathens thought of themselves as 'the 1000th best band of all time'. Then their tour van crashed, and one of their members died.

The Everest Mystery
There is no mystery more compelling than the disappearance of British mountaineer George Mallory and Sandy Irvine, last seen ‘going strong for the top’ of Mount Everest on 8 June 1924. Mallory was a renowned climber; Irvine was a daring young sportsman embarking on the greatest adventure of his life . . . The question of exactly what happened to them on that fateful day has fascinated people for more than a century. Now, Irvine’s great-niece Julie Summers and mountaineering historian Jochen Hemmleb have written a gripping account of the 1924 expedition from Sandy’s perspective, challenging misconceptions regarding his role and the skills and knowledge of the two men. The narrative brings to life all the remarkable characters involved in the attempt and describes the extraordinary feats of endurance and planning needed to survive the extreme conditions on Everest. The authors also examine whether the two men reached the summit – becoming the first to do so – or died on the ascent. Were their bodies seen by Chinese expeditions in 1960 and 1975? What can we learn from the discoveries of Mallory’s remains in 1999 and Sandy’s boot and foot in September 2024?An intriguing detective story, The Everest Mystery is also a moving account of men pushing themselves to their limits in an attempt to make history.
Balmoral
Balmoral Castle and it’s 50,000-acre estate has been the private Highland retreat of The Royal Family since the 1850s. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert fell in love with the Scottish Highlands in the 1840s and built the present Grade A listed castle in 1856, one of the very favourite homes of The Royal Family ever since, hosting kings, queens, tsars, kaisers, statesmen, prime ministers and many others. Much of the interior of the castle can now be visited together with a new restaurant, café, visitor centre and shop. Well-marked footpaths allow visitors to walk over much of the estate, with its astonishing views of one of the most beautiful and wild parts of Scotland. A unique guide and gift book to be treasured.
I'm Just a Girl
It is a truth universally acknowledged that boys will be boys and girls have to grow up . . . Over the past decade, girlhood has repainted the cultural landscape pink. From Taylor Swift's Eras tour to Barbiemania, this nostalgia for girlhood has become a billion-dollar business, seen in the music we listen to, the clothes we wear and the 2000s movies (and their long-awaited sequels) we watch on repeat. But at a time when women's rights are being rewritten, this resurgence in girlhood is complicated. Women are caught between a genuine desire to relive the wild freedom, joy and safety found in girlhood, while facing an ever-growing pressure to hold onto their youth. The world demands women continue to look like girls, yet they are rarely given the space to actually be girls. In I'm Just a Girl, journalist Jess Bacon introduces readers to the 'second girlhood', the extended adolescence that allows us to recover the part of ourselves we left behind. Reconnecting with our inner girl is an empowering act of rebellion. It offers a return to creativity and play that can ultimately improve our relationships, our mental wellbeing and establish a renewed sense of self. It is a reclaiming of what was once taken from us. For far too long we have been presented with a false choice between womanhood and girlhood - this book is a celebration of a new way of being where we can fully embrace both.
