Summer of Freedom
This colorful post–World War II history brings to life a crucial yet understudied period, through the eyes of both major figures and ordinary people.It was a summer like no one had ever experienced: in the four months from May to September 1945, the old world collapsed, and a new one opened up. The heinous Third Reich was over, ushering in an era of freedom, but also fresh conflicts.With a gripping historical panorama, Oliver Hilmes offers insight into this unprecedented summer, from the perspectives of the victors and the vanquished, victims and perpetrators, celebrities and unknowns. The “Big Three”—Harry S. Truman, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin—determine the course of history at the Potsdam Conference. German housewife Else Tietze fears for her son’s safety. US soldier Klaus Mann tracks down Nazi criminals. And in Berlin Billy Wilder plans a comedy about life in the ruins. Cafés and restaurants reopen their doors, and Red Army soldier Vasily Petrowitsch is begged for bread by German children.Through a series of scenes that lead from Berlin to Tokyo, from Munich to Paris, from Bayreuth to Moscow, Hilmes captures the unique atmosphere of this time of extremes: the great happiness and hope of the liberated; the misery, grief, and fear of the defeated; and the uncertainty that comes with freedom.

Lekce předstírání
Athalia Pressleyová po ničem netouží víc než po náklonnosti svého dvojčete. Od smrti jejich rodičů jí totiž Henry moc pozornosti nevěnuje – až do chvíle, kdy jí ve škole začne hrozit propadnutí a ona potřebuje doučování. To ji přivede do náruče Henryho nepřítele, univerzitního premianta Dylana. Athalia se náhle začne těšit Henryho plné pozornosti – a pokud si ji chce udržet, bude potřebovat pomoc Dylana McCarthyho Williamse.
Dylana, bratrova rivala z fotbalového týmu, Athalia zrovna dvakrát nemusí – vadí jí jeho uhlazené poznámky, sebevědomý tón i vševědoucí chování. Nepomáhá ani jeho perfektní účes, zasněné hluboké oči nebo vysportované tělo univerzitního fotbalisty. Athalia touží jen získat zpátky Henryho, a tak s Dylanem uzavřou dohodu o fejkovém randění, aby ho provokovali.
To se jim však naprosto vymkne z ruky. Účelová dohoda se postupně mění v osudovou přitažlivost plnou vtipných a dojemných situací. Z předstírané lásky se postupně zrodí láska opravdová a Athalia s Dylanem a Henrym odpočítávají vteřiny do Nového roku na velkém silvestrovském večírku…

Otthonról haza
Csepelyi Adrienn novelláskötetében az otthon néha egy gyerekkori emlék, egy étel közös felemlegetése, egy régi tárgy tapintása vagy egy jóindulatú szomszéd gesztusa. Máskor fájdalom vagy éppen tragikum. Mert a szülőföldet, bárhová sodorjon is bennünket az élet, az ember mindenüvé magával hurcolja.
Ezek az útközben talált történetek mindannyiunk számára ismerős terekből és helyzetekből indulnak: lakásokból, falusi utcákból, udvarokból, piacokról, lépcsőházakból, vidéki és városi emlékezetből. Legnagyobb értékük pedig, hogy őszintén és kérlelhetetlenül szembesítenek bennünket az élet törvényszerűségeivel, miközben a mélyükön mindig ott csillog az emberség, a megértés és a szerző kifogyhatatlan együttérzése.
A Heinrich Annamária illusztrációival díszített gyűjtemény Csepelyi Adrienn tízévnyi novellatermésének legjavából válogat.
,,Szilvavirágillat száll, meg-megcsap az éles szélben. A falu végén dühödt kék az ég, az összes fényt a fehér szirmokra irányították, mintha csak azt akarná megmutatni a Jóisten, mire kell koncentrálnunk a viharban.
A férfi hajnal óta ás, láttam akkor is, amikor boltba mentem tojásért. A kézfeje messziről vöröslik. A ház melletti keskeny sávban fagyközeli lehet még a levegő, hiába az aranysárga napsütés, visszafordultunk a télbe.
Biccentünk, elhaladok.
Nem ismerem. Mostanában költözhettek ide, amíg nem voltam idehaza. Ritkán jövök. Mire megjelenek, már ki is koptam a tájból, újra nyomot kell hagynom benne, hogy ne felejtsem el magam én se."
Csepelyi Adrienn 1984-ben született, és az ország keleti csücskében, a szabolcs-szatmár-beregi Penyigén nőtt fel. Kulturális újságíró, publicista, műsorvezető. Junior Prima-díjas, Népszabadság-díjas, Hüpátia-médiadíjas, a Szegénységről Méltósággal Sajtódíj különdíjasa. Belemenés címmel 2018-ban jelent meg első regénye, 2024-ben CAMPUS 15 címmel riportkönyvet írt a debreceni Campus fesztiválról.
Nagymamám magyaráz című műfajteremtő kötete - amely eredetileg családi nyelvjárásgyűjtésnek, emlékrögzítésnek indult, és amely végül kollektív emlékezetünk markáns lenyomata lett - 2025-ben jelent meg a 21. Század Kiadónál.

Wolf Land
Wolf Land traces the lives of the wolves that once called Britain and Ireland home. Beginning with the Ice Age, each chapter considers a key period in the history of wolves on these islands. Describing the landscapes they traversed, their relationship with the ever-growing human population, and the ways in which humans weaved wolves throughout every aspect of their cultural lives, from literature and art to religion and politics. Building on this history, Wolf Land concludes by reflecting on the parts of this story yet to be written, asking whether wolves could once again make Britain and Ireland their home. There is no better time for understanding the complex, multifaceted ecology of wolves in Britain and Ireland. Calls for widespread nature restoration and the reintroduction of apex predators necessitate a thorough understanding of the history of this animal, as well as the reasons why the species ultimately disappeared. Only by thoroughly comprehending the past can we hope to forge a future that involves wolves. Elizabeth Marshall is an expert in historical and literary research, with extensive knowledge of wolf ethology, ecology, and reintroduction. Passionate about critically examining and tracing historical sources, Elizabeth separates fact from the (ubiquitous) fiction associated with these animals. Wolf Land is a book for not only wolf lovers and natural and cultural history enthusiasts, but also for those interested in rewilding, reintroduction, and the complex yet fascinating relationship between nature and culture.
