The Last Dragon House


A spellbinding middle-grade debut about a magical boarding house for dragons and the unlikely siblings destined to save it Siblings Olly and Jenny Atwood have never met a dragon-Olly doesn't even think they're real. But when the strange and brilliant Dr. Lady Abernathy offers Olly a job at her mysterious house, the Atwoods learn that these incredible beasts are very much alive-and they need help. Dragons have been forced into hiding, and as caretakers of the Dragon House, Dr. Lady and Olly are the only protectors these magnificent creatures have left. But when evil forces conspire to poison Dr. Lady, Olly and his dragon friends find themselves locked in a race against time, political conspiracies…and one very large corgi. Can Olly recover the antidote before it's too late? And can Jenny harness her stirring powers to keep Dr. Lady alive until then? Or could this be the end of the Dragon House-and dragons-as they know it? The Last Dragon House is a showstopping novel full of fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure and endearingly flawed characters. It's also about how our seemingly impossible problems will ultimately be solved: Not by waiting for a Chosen One, but by banding together and sharing our unique strengths. Another word for those strengths? Magic.

Being Carlos Alcaraz


The first detailed and comprehensively researched biography of the heir apparent to the Djokovic-Nadal-Federer era. A deeply researched biography of the new (smiley) face of tennis. A global star who has achieved more than Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did by this stage of their careers. At just 19 years old, Carlos Alcaraz won the US Open and became the youngest ever men's world number one. At only 21, he already had four Grand Slam titles. For Alcaraz, everything - from his charm to his star power to his tennis mojo - starts with a smile. But there is a more complex character behind the smile. One who grew up in modest circumstances in a small village in Murcia in southern Spain. A man with strong family traditions who has a tattoo of his grandfather's favorite saying - 'cabeza, corazon y cojones' (brain, heart and balls) - inked on his left wrist. Mark Hodgkinson talks to those who know Alcaraz best - including his coaches, old teachers and competitors - to provide a fascinating insight into a showman with ambitions of becoming the GOAT, the greatest of all time.

A Day in the Life of a Gladiator

Take a seat at the feast on the eve of the games and watch as the men marked for combat enjoy their final meal.

Watch as the gladiators enter the arena - armour gleaming, shields locked, they step into the light, fighting not just for survival but for the favour of the crowd. Gripping, immersive and grounded in ancient sources, A Day in the Life of a Gladiator illuminates the reality of Roman life and death in all its glory. This is history as it happened - not in the marble halls of emperors, but on the blood-darkened sand of the arena. Previously published in hardback as Those Who Are About to Die.

A Pál utcai fiúk


„[…] most először kezdett derengeni egyszerű gyereklelkében a sejtés arról, hogy tulajdonképpen mi is az élet, amelynek mindnyájan küzdő, hol bánatos, hol vidám szolgái vagyunk.” A több mint száz éve íródott A Pál utcai fiúk immár a magyar irodalom élő klasszikusa. Molnár Ferenc humora, kifinomult karakterábrázolása és a regény témái – hűség, barátság, összetartás – kortalanná, a mai iskolások számára is élvezhetővé és mélyen átélhetővé teszik a történetet. Nem véletlen, hogy A Pál utcai fiúk az egyik legismertebb és legolvasottabb magyar regény külföldön, több országban is kötelező vagy ajánlott olvasmány. A regényből készült, 2016 óta több színházban is hatalmas sikerrel játszott musical a kedvelt kötelező olvasmány népszerűségét új szintre emelte: a zene, a találó szövegek még közelebb hozták a fiatalokhoz a mondanivalót, az összetartozás érzését, amelyre napjainkban óriási szükség van.

Nacu nyara


Kavakami korábban megjelent, azonos című kisregénye három nő történetét mesélte el: a harmincéves, hajadon narrátorét, nővéréét, Makikóét és Makiko lányáét, Midorikóét. Makiko nem tud megbékélni a szülés után megváltozott testével, a mellnagyobbító műtét megszállottja lesz. Közben tizenkét éves lánya, Midoriko a pubertás félelmétől megbénítva képtelen kifejezni a felnőtté válással kapcsolatos félelmeit. A narrátor saját meghatározhatatlan identitásával küzd, mivel se nem "lány", se nem "anya". A könyv három forró napon játszódik Tokióban. Ebben a bővített változatban a történet második fejezete egy másik forró nyári napon, tíz évvel később kezdődik. A narrátor, aki még mindig egyedülálló és gyermektelen, egyre jobban szorong amiatt, hogy egyedül fog megöregedni, és soha nem lesz anya. Így aztán más nők, barátok és rokonok tanácsát kéri, és hosszas tépelődés után a mesterséges megtermékenyítés mellett dönt. Ám ez a döntés egy mélyen konzervatív országban, ahol a nők reproduktív jogai állandó fenyegetés alatt állnak, nem valósítható meg dráma nélkül. A Nacu nyara a japán nők rendszerszintű elnyomását és a felszabadulás lehetőségét, a kapcsolati erőszakot és a reproduktív etikát veszi górcső alá. A komédiát és a realizmust ötvöző mű olyan, akár egy utazás a belső erő és béke megtalálása felé. Kavakami Mieko a Nacu nyara (Breasts and Eggs) című nemzetközi bestseller világszerte elismert szerzője. Oszakában született, pályáját költőként kezdte, első novellája, Az egóm, a fogaim és a világ (My Ego, My Teeth, and the World) 2007-ben jelent meg. Lírai hangvételű regényeit, melyeket több mint 38 nyelvre fordítottak le, a társadalometikai kérdések felvetése, valamint a női lét és a női test ábrázolása teszi egyedivé. Jelenleg Tokióban él. Magyarul eddig Az éj szerelmesei (2024) című kötete jelent meg.
