Soldiers Live
From international bestseller Glen Cook comes the tenth book in the chronicles of the Black Company — the series that forever changed the face of fantasy. After years of fragile peace, the Black Company marches to war once more — and Croaker, long absent from the Annals, takes up the quill once again. Their enemies are many and merciless: Lisa Bowalk, the forvalaka bent on vengeance; Soulcatcher, brilliant and mad; Mogaba, the traitor general; a supernatural spy wearing a friend’s face; and, darkest of all, the ancient goddess Kina, who seeks to bring about the dreaded Year of the Skulls. To survive, the Company must cross worlds, confront old ghosts, and face the consequences of their own legend.
Észrevétlen függőségeink
Az Észrevétlen függőségeink húsba vágó történetek gyűjteménye. Embereké, akik eljutottak oda, ahol már nincs tovább: ahol a test felmondja a szolgálatot, és a halál nem elvont fogalom, hanem reális lehetőség. A kötet azonban nem ragad le a szélsőséges élethelyzetek bemutatásánál. Nem minden függőség látványos, és nem mind rombol hangosan: van, amelyik csendben épül be a mindennapokba. Sokan évek óta,,jól funkcionáló" függőként élnek: dolgoznak, gyereket nevelnek, látszólag rendezett az életük. Rácz Laura Rebecca több tucat mélyinterjún és szakértői beszélgetésen keresztül rajzolja fel a függőség ezernyi arcát: a szégyent, a tagadást, a mélypontokat. A megszólalók között aktív és felépülő függők, valamint hozzátartozók mesélnek veszteségről, visszaesésről és felismerésekről. A könyvben olyan emberek történetei olvashatók, akik életük egy pontján munka-, szex-, szerelem-, pornó-, testedzés-, versenyzés-, szerencsejáték-, alkohol-, kábítószer- vagy gyógyszerfüggőséggel, valamint étkezési zavarokkal vagy kodependenciával küzdöttek. A kötet nem áll meg a mélypontnál, hanem megmutatja a felépülés törékeny, mégis reményteli útját is. Az interjúalanyok őszintén beszélnek arról, mit jelent együtt élni a sóvárgással, hogyan válik a józanság napi munkává, és miként lehet a pusztító függőséget kapcsolódássá, alkotóerővé vagy akár szolgálattá alakítani. A személyes történeteket szakértői megszólalások egészítik ki, amelyek segítenek tágabb összefüggésbe helyezni a hallottakat. A könyv az érintettek és hozzátartozóik mellett szól azoknak is, akik szeretnének árnyaltabban, empatikusabban gondolkodni a függőség és a szerhasználat témájáról, ami napjainkban komoly társadalmi problémává nőtte ki magát, és amivel kapcsolatban mindannyiunknak van valamilyen tapasztalata.
In the Rhododendrons
'In a memoir that pulses with feeling and intelligence, [Christle] excavates the past to expose difficult truths' GuardianWhen Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with. During a rare moment of vulnerability, Christle's mother shares a memory of assault as a child growing up in London. This instant of shock and recognition sends Christle down a rabbit hole into her mother's past. From Kew Gardens to the British Library and Bloomsbury, Christle's journey takes her deep into her family mythologies and her own buried memories. All the while, she finds that Virginia Woolf and her writings not only seem to connect and overlap with her mother's story, but also that Woolf becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences. In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives. 'Heartbreaking, revelatory, exquisite, and ultimately ecstatic, this book is a gift' Jessamine Chan, author of The School for Good Mothers
Two Sisters
*Foiled cover design exclusive to first print run* Best friends? Not really … Leonie and Nora couldn’t be less alike. Leonie is brave and bold.

This Way Up
The debut book from the YouTube sensation and all-round cartographical nerds, The Map Men!
Hello, we're the Map Men, and in the following pages we've selected what we believe to be some of the very best wrong maps. Some of them are decades old, some are centuries old and some are so recent they're being published today (or yesterday, if you're reading this tomorrow).
They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you're an avid map junkie or simply 'map-curious', you will uncover a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour in each chapter, as we attempt to answer the question: 'What on earth happened here?'
So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out on a journey with us, the Map Men, into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps.
Because the worst maps are the best maps.

A nyári háború
A Rengeteg, az Ezüstfonás és a Solomancia-trilógia szerzőjének új kisregényében egy fiatal boszorkány próbálja visszafordítani az átkot, amellyel a fivérét sújtotta. Celia varázsereje azon a napon ébredt fel, amikor bátyja, Argent, elhagyta az otthonukat.
A lány dühében és csalódottságában megátkozta a bátyját, hogy szeretet nélkül élje le életét, nem is sejtve, hogy gyerekes dühkitörését mágia teszi végzetessé. Miközben Argent szerelem helyett dicsőséget és hírnevet hajszolva kóborol a háború dúlta világban, Celia mindent megtesz, hogy megtörje az átkot, amivel ő maga sújtotta a bátyját. Már fiatal nővé cseperedve szerez tudomást a népe és a halhatatlan nyárszerzetek közti időtlen idők óta tartó harc valódi okáról, és először csillan fel a reménysugár: talán a másik fivére segítségével felszabadíthatja az idősebb bátyját az átok alól, és egyúttal gyógyulást hozhat a nyári háború által kettészakított világnak.

ACE - The Times & Style of Tennis
A look at the intersection of tennis and fashion, capturing the sport’s most iconic, stylish, and transformative moments, through the expert lens of fashion insider and author of CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion, Sunita Kumar Nair
From starch whites at Wimbledon to bold statement pieces on and off the court, the history of tennis has long been intertwined with fashion. In this thoughtfully curated celebration of the sport, bestselling author Sunita Kumar Nair explores the sport’s most stylish moments, legendary players, and the designers who have shaped its aesthetic. With archival photography, exclusive interviews, and insider commentary, this book traces the evolution of tennis style—from the traditional ensembles of early champions to the revolutionary looks of Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and beyond.

Rule of Lies
An American lawyer's brilliant, propulsive story of witnessing and playing a part in the transformation of Russia under Yeltsin and Putin. A true tale of fascinating personalities, criminal intrigue, harrowing situations, audacious actions and international politics that combines Bill Browder's Red Notice with Michael Lewis's Liar's Poker.
Raised by his father, a multimillionaire conman and crack addict who owned Manhattan's most expensive brothel, twenty-four-year-old Jamison R. Firestone decided to change the channel. He graduated from law school in 1991 and sought his fortune in Gorbachev's USSR, establishing Russia's first independent foreign law firm.
Out of the frying pan and into the fire, Jamison lived in the maelstrom that was Russia, defending himself and his clients from mafia attacks, dealing with corrupt police officers, having his law office raided by armed commandos, and once having to bug the offices of the Russian police.
Jamison was at the centre of some of Russia's most important events. He employed Sergei Magnitsky who was murdered for uncovering the largest tax theft in Russian history and teamed up with Bill Browder and Alexei Navalny to expose his killers. Along the way he inadvertently taught Navalny to make videos exposing corruption and started a war with the Russian government over passage of the Magnitsky Acts which threatened to sanction Russia's most powerful people.
A real-life story that reads like a spy novel, Rule of Lies goes deep inside contemporary Russia and events that have reshaped the globe. Darkly comic, sometimes horrifying and deeply moving, it is a chilling warning of what can happen when a nascent democracy succumbs to one man's corrupt iron rule, becoming not only an authoritarian nation but a profoundly criminal one-a true mafia state.
