Abe Sapien 7: Utajený oheň
SOUČÁST HELLBOY UNIVERSA
Abe Sapien při pátrání po pravdě o sobě prošel celé Státy. Tajemství, jež mu doposud zůstávala skryta, se mu konečně odhalují při střetu s gigantickou obludou, jež potopila část floridského pobřeží, a během setkání s dívkou, která je duševně propojená s nejstarší silou celé hellboyovské mytologie.
Hőhullámon
A változókor sok nő számára bizonytalanságot keltő időszak. A test jelez, a megszokott egyensúly átalakul, gyakran több a kérdés, mint a válasz. Szükségszerű, hogy mindezt lemondásként, veszteségként éljük meg? Sheila de Liz orvosként és nőként új nézőpontot kínál – amit elmond, esetleg szöges ellentétben áll azzal, amit eddig tudni véltél a változókorról. Közérthetően, szórakoztatóan, tabuk nélkül beszél a perimenopauza testi és lelki folyamatairól, és megmutatja, hogy a megfelelő tudás milyen sokat számít a közérzet, az önbizalom, a mindennapi életminőség szempontjából.
Ez a könyv nem ijesztget, nem egyszerűsít, nem ígér csodát. Segít megérteni, mi történik a testben, hogyan lehet ezt az időszakot tudatosan, önazonosan megélni. A változás nem a női erő elvesztése. Lehetőséget hordoz – egy új egyensúly, egy újfajta jelenlét felé. A másik oldalon valami nagyszerű vár rád: saját magad új változata. Aki erős és szexi, ha éppen ahhoz van kedve, de főleg – szabad.
Solo Leveling 9.
Jinwoo válaszokat akart, és az útja pontosan oda vitte vissza, ahol az egész elkezdődött: a dupla dungeon rettenetes kazamatájába. Miközben ő újra farkasszemet néz az istenként tetszelgő, iszonyatos lénnyel, addig a japán guildeknek fel kell készülnie egy különösen brutális kapu szörnyei elleni harcra. A japán vezetés tudja, hogy miután S rangú vadászai színe-java elesett a hangyák elleni küzdelemben, az országuk képtelen egyedül megakadályozni a dungeon elszabadulását, és külső segítséget kell igénybe venniük az onnan kiáramló rémségek megfékezésére. A kérdés csak az, kihez fordulhatnak, ha a legjobbak legjobbjai is kudarcot vallanak?
A világszerte és idehaza is a sikerlistákat uraló SOLO LEVELING webtoonból készült sorozat az utóbbi évek legnépszerűbb animéje lett.

Die Trying
Do you believe in fate? When Jemma leaves husband Adam for another man, his world shatters. Desperate to regain control, Adam turns to the glass die he once used to make every decision. Meanwhile, Jemma's lost her sense of self. Every choice she makes is tempting her to risk everything to find her spark again. At first, it's just a game. Adam's die becomes the centrepiece of a wellness podcast he starts with an old friend. But when interest spreads online and others are drawn into its dangerous orbit, Adam's obsession takes a darker turn. As his painful past threatens to overturn the present, Adam loses his grip on reality and one final roll could decide everything – life, death, or the illusion of choice itself… DIE TRYING is an addictive, twisting pageturner that asks how far we'll go when we gamble with fate, and the devastating impact a single decision can unleash. Praise for DIE TRYING 'Thought-provoking, dark, compelling with a premise to DIE for. If you ask fate to save your ailing marriage, how far will you let it take you?' TAMMY COHEN 'A book that will stay with me for a long time. The premise is clever but the execution may be cleverer still – bringing the fascinating concept of the die, fate and how much we can really control as human beings into a 2026 space of wellness podcasts, decision overwhelm and toxic masculinity. A brilliant job, by a brilliant author’ CAROLINE CORCORAN 'A brilliant study of chancing fate, and the internal madness it brings. Pacy, and tender, and beautifully written' L. V. MATTHEWS

Renaissance Polish Armies 1492–1569
This fully illustrated study assesses the armies of Poland at war in the first half of the 16th century, during the transition from feudal to standing forces. Against a background of almost continual warfare, the 80 years after 1492 witnessed the slow transformation of Polish forces from feudal levies to standing armies. The bloody struggle between Poles, Lithuanians, Hungarians, Muscovites, Cossacks, Turks and Tatars culminated in the Union of Lublin in 1569, uniting the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. This crucial period in Polish military history saw the introduction and development of famous troop categories such as the Polish hussars, and a tactical transformation with the introduction of foot and mounted hand-gunners to replace crossbowmen. Drawing upon a wealth of sources, the author explains Polish armies' methods of recruitment; their organizational structure, and that of units of different troop categories; their weapons, armour and equipment; and their strategies and tactics. In this engaging book, specially commissioned artwork and rare illustrations combine with authoritative text to bring this under-researched subject to life for an English-language audience.
The Irish Midwife at War
In the chaos of war, can their love survive? 1939. Kathleen Gallagher is training to be a handywoman - an illegal midwife in West Belfast - when war is declared. As soon as a call goes out for volunteers to join the home front, she jumps at the chance to aid the ambulance service. She won't let her community down when they need her the most. When Liam Flynn, the older brother of her best friend - and her very first kiss - also volunteers, the two of them are suddenly thrown together once more. Kathleen still dreams of the bells ringing in the New Year and the snow falling as their lips brushed, all those years ago. But she has a secret. And it's one that means they can never be together . . . But with the Belfast Blitz raining chaos and destruction, and the volunteers pushed to their limits, the pair can't help but grow closer, the secrets of their past starting to feel insignificant against the backdrop of war. In the middle of it all, can Kathleen overcome her worries, and finally let herself fall in love? This historical romance feels like Call the Midwife, but set in Ireland. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Rosie Goodwin and Mandy Robotham. Readers are already loving the first Irish Midwives book . . .

A Time to Hide
When Grete and Julius fell in love, they planned to build a new life together in Germany, near their families. They never thought they’d be forced to wear yellow stars for everyone to identify them as Jews, use forged papers with fake names, or hide in a stranger’s attic in Holland—with their newborn baby just downstairs, in plain sight of the Nazis. Author Marion Seidemann Fredman chronicles the story of her parents’ experience through the horrors of World War II and how they survived by taking life into their own hands. Each page weaves a story of its own through historical papers, photographs, documents, and other pieces saved and passed down from one generation to the next. Combined with gorgeously painted artwork by nationally acclaimed author and illustrator Elisa Kleven, the effect renders a uniquely poignant depiction of Jewish life during the Holocaust. Also included at the back is a glossary and an author’s note. From leaving home for temporary safety in Holland, finding help from brave, self-sacrificing individuals, and defying incredible danger to have a baby when surrounded by enemies, Seidemann’s story serves as a powerful reminder of a past not too long ago and the importance in keeping stories and memories alive.
God is an Englishman
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025'Allows us to understand the profound, and often profoundly beneficial, impact of Christianity' Anthony Seldon'Superb ... Lively and erudite' The Telegraph'Tremendous ... The arguments are truly profound' The Spectator'A finely judged and beautifully written account' Peter FrankopanChristianity in England is in decline. Congregations are dwindling and ever fewer young people believe. Should we merely shrug our shoulders and accept this as inevitable and even healthy, or is something important being los? ijan Omrani argues that this decline is the most momentous change to occur in English history. He shows how a religion that has been part of our national story for over 1700 years was instrumental in the creation and development of the English nation, its codes of law and morality, and its structures of government and kingship. He demonstrates its profound cultural impact, in areas ranging from architecture and literature to our very landscape and the structure of our everyday life and language. Its influence, he contends, has been enormous, largely benign, and shouldn’t be lightly abandoned. Ending with a rousing call to retain Christianity, rightly understood, as a way of dealing with both the eternal questions of the human condition, as well as the malaises of modernity, this is an erudite and tender tribute to our Christian history and heritage.
Mischlinge
A FORGOTTEN MANUSCRIPT. A FAMILY SECRET. AND THE URGENT NEED TO TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THE CHILDREN HITLER WANTED DEAD. THE TRUE STORY OF THE MISCHLINGE. Mischling (plural: Mischlinge): a cruel, derogatory term created by the Nazi regime to brand those of 'mixed blood'; children born to both Jewish and Aryan parents and grandparents. A word designed to degrade, divide and deny humanity. Berlin, 1935. A knock sounds at the Bernstein family's door. Eight-year-old Edie answers it to two Gestapo officials, who issue an unthinkable ultimatum; Edie's mother must divorce her Jewish husband – for the supposed 'protection' of her children. They hear the word Mischlinge for the first time. And from that moment on. it becomes a stain that seeps into every corner of their existence. Teachers and classmates gradually turn against Edie and her big brother Heini. Neighbours begin disappearing in the night. With each passing day, the circle tightens – until there is no safe place at home or on the streets. As antisemitic laws multiply and people around them disappear, Edie and Heini are dragged into a world of interrogation, surveillance and fear. Every knock at the door threatens separation. Every whisper risks arrest. Yet even as the Nazis close in, Edie and Heini refuse to let go of one another. 'Perhaps the most remarkable untold history of the Holocaust. Sharon Ring has done her mum proud with this brilliant – and utterly terrifying – story. A story so unlikely that it reads like a novel – yet every word is true.' – Rory Clements
The Other Mother
A courageous story about a mother in crisis from one of Norway's most exciting writers, for readers of Boulder and Detransition, BabySilje Marie has been keeping a secret from her wife. She loves one of her sons more than the other.In their sleepy suburb of Oslo, she's given Henry and Olav the childhood she never had: organic cotton clothing, a house by the forest, apple pies baked with Grandma on summer afternoons.But when Silje Marie stays behind to clear the house for an upcoming renovation, buried thoughts resurface. She is haunted by the sense that only one of her children truly feels like her own-an admission that would destroy her wife, Helene. Worse still, there is the other mother. A woman befriended in secret, whose son's resemblance to Henry is impossible to ignore.Spiky, daring and feverishly intense, this is a story about the complex confinement and joy of family life, and a mother drawn towards dismantling the home she has fought so hard to build.'Raises impressive ruminations on the nature of this ownership we call love' Kenan Orhan, author of The Renovation'Brave, well-written, distinctive' Morgenbladet'Exceptionally powerful' Vart Land'Digs deep into the gnarly emotions hidden behind domesticity' Szilvia Molnar, author of The Nursery
Angry Girls Will Get Us Through
In her first book for young readers, New York Times bestselling author and New York magazine writer-at-large Rebecca Traister draws material from her award-winning books and articles to show girls their anger has the power to be a force of change, just like for many trailblazers before them.From an early age, young girls are taught anger isn’t an emotion they should express. They’re told—either implicitly or explicitly—to spend their lives keeping their fury locked inside for the benefit of others. But partly, Traister argues, that’s because the anger of women and girls has been a crucial catalyst for change, putting in motion some of the most defining social and political movements in our nation’s history. And it’s that anger that will blaze the path forward for the future. Traister chronicles a concise history from the colonial era to the Women’s March of 2016 demonstrating how women’s rage has forged coalitions and created political change through movements for women’s and civil rights and more, and how the past decade has created an inflection point for women and girls who have yet to experience rights equal to men’s in the United States.
An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail
A friendship is a filiation we choose. It holds love and laughter; it can extend our sense of the possible. Moved to honour a form of relation often subordinated to romantic and familial ties, and to explore a part of her own history, Hélene Giannecchini pieces together an alternative genealogy of queer ancestors.
In searching and sensitive prose, she sifts the past to bring existences deemed ‘marginal’ into communion with each other, traces of which may remain only in memory and archival fragments. Roving from Casa Susanna, a space of freedom from persecution in McCarthyite North America, to the diary of a man living with HIV in France, and to the life and work of pioneering lesbian photographer Donna Gottschalk, each narrative counters oblivion through loving acts of witness. A slantwise gathering of queer life and activism in the twentieth century, interspersed with images encountered by chance, An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail establishes friendship as a vital political force and offers a moving testament to its liberatory power.
