Thief - Tolvaj - Boston alvilág V.


Tanaka Jó kislány vagyok. Egy olyan kódex szerint élek, amely nem ismer alkut és nem törhető meg. A családom iránti kötelességem, hogy egy olasz férfihoz menjek feleségül. A sorsom már megköttetett. De Nikolai Kozlov három egyszerű szóval újraírja a végzetemet. Mostantól hozzám tartozol. Orosz maffiózó. Tolvaj. Egy profi hazudozó, akinek nincsenek erkölcsi korlátai. Ő minden, aminek a gyűlöletére neveltek. Egy ember, aki nem áll ki semmi mellett. Egy ember, aki gondolkodás nélkül elveszi, amit akar. És engem akar. Azt hiszi, ő irányítja a sorsomat, de amit nem tud, hogy néha pont a jó kislányokkal kell a legjobban vigyázni. Nikolai Veszélyes ember vagyok. A Vory kódex szerint élek. Az én kötelességem megvédeni a testvériséget. Bárkit elpusztítok, aki ezt fenyegeti, beleértve őt is. Ő egy táncosnő. Egy gyönyörű kis játékszer. A foglyom és az új kedvenc bábom. Ez a maffiahercegnő azt hiszi, a bűvkörébe vont, de a végén nem lesz más, mint járulékos veszteség. Kár elpusztítani az értékes dolgokat. De a rosszemberek ezt teszik.

Mózes egy, huszonkettő


A Mózes egy, huszonkettő Ábrahám és Izsák ószövetségi történetének modern feldolgozása. Az Ábrahámok a Horthy-kort, a második világháborút, a Rákosi-érát megélt és megszenvedett "rettenetes" szülők, nagyszülők. Az Izsákok lázadó fiatalok, akik nem kíváncsiak felmenőik múltjára, akart-akaratlan áldozatvállalásukra, szenvedéseikre, beteljesületlen szerelmeikre-vágyaikra, elrontott életükre. Nem hajlandók áldozatot hozni istenekért-eszmékért, a maguk útját akarják járni. Egy "szigetre" vágynak, távol a vénektől, ahol együtt és maguk lehetnek. Gál Hugi és Ádám, Bartos Márta és Gyuri - a két testvérpár - csontkockán dobják ki, melyik lánynak kell teherbe esnie a "nemzet mártírjának" fiától, a naivnak és jámbornak tűnő Miklóstól. Mert ő bizonyára kap majd egy lakást az anyjától nászajándékul. A játék azonban komolyra fordul: Hugi beleszeret Miklósba, és elhatározza: új életet kezd vele. Vajon Miklós is így akarja?

Pár-percek


Előfordult már, hogy hétközben alig vártuk, hogy megbeszéljünk valamit a társunkkal, amikor pedig végre ott volt a lehetőség, ötletünk sem volt, mit mondjunk? Mihalec Gábor 52 rövid gondolatébresztővel segít átlendülni ezeken a nehézségeken. Minden fejezet egy-egy témát vet fel, inspirációt nyújtva a heti házaspáros beszélgetésekhez, melyeket a legtöbb szakember - természetesen a napi kommunikáció mellett - elengedhetetlennek tart a kapcsolat egészségének megőrzéséhez. Mivel a fejezetek nem épülnek egymásra, szabadon válogathatunk a könnyedebb és a kihívást jelentő témák között. Érdemes azonban legyőzni a belső ellenállást, és mélyebb vizekre evezni, hogy együtt bejárhassuk a kapcsolatunk változásra, újragondolásra szoruló területeit is. A szerző a saját életéből vett példákkal és a beszélgetést, gondolkodást elindító kérdésekkel az egymás előtti megnyílásra, őszinte kommunikációra, a sebezhetőség vállalására ösztönöz.

Den D 6. 6. 1944 – Vrcholná bitva druhé světové války


"Legendární historik druhé světové války Stephen E. Ambrose v knize Den D na podkladu 1 400 ústních výpovědí mužů, kteří se v červnu roku 1944 účastnili invaze do Francie, vůbec poprvé odhaluje, že se málem muselo od složitého plánu upustit ještě předtím, než zazněl první výstřel. Pravdivá historie v autorově podání pojednává o občanech vojácích (nižších důstojnících a řadových vojácích), kteří, jakmile si uvědomili, že se ocitli ve zcela jiné situaci, než na jakou je připravovali, se na vlastní pěst chopili iniciativy, aby prolomili Hitlerův Atlantický val. Kniha obsahuje dechberoucí popisy bojů na plážích Omaha a Utah, které vycházejí z dosud nepublikovaných informací poskytnutých americkými, britskými, kanadskými, francouzskými a německými veterány, vládními a soukromými archivy. Autor, význačný americký vojenský historik a obdivuhodný vypravěč, podává na stránkách této knihy příběh nejdůležitějšího dne v dějinách 20. století. "

The Scottish Rebellion against Robert the Bruce


July of 1331 saw the gathering of a most unusual army; its billets scattered across the modest ports of Yorkshire’s eastern coast. Its purpose, the invasion of Scotland and the overthrow of the yet inchoate line of Bruce kings. This was a task monumentally disproportionate in scale to the tiny army that sought to undertake it. It was a goal which they would ultimately fail to realise, though not before experiencing some spectacular successes and forever changing the balance of power within Scottish politics. The most notable of these triumphs were the Battle of Dupplin Moor, and the better-known Battle of Halidon Hill. Such unlikely victories lent credibility to their cause, igniting another decade of war. The army was mostly English, but its masters were the disinherited sons and grandsons of what had once been the flower of Scottish knighthood, an alliance of related Scottish nobles who had been exiled from Scotland for their ongoing refusal to accept Robert Bruce’s claim to the throne. While they eagerly courted the support of the current English king, Edward III, they were no mere ciphers or puppets – their fathers and grandfathers had been amongst the fiercest proponents of Scottish freedom and independence. Edward I of England had seized upon the succession crisis that followed the death of Alexander III to insinuate himself into the centre of Scottish politics and attempt to compel the Scottish nobility into acquiescing to his claims of overlordship. Yet the following war was shaped as much by the struggle between rival Scottish dynasties as it was the imperial ambitions of successive English kings. Running parallel to the war to refute English overlordship of Scotland was an internecine conflict in which disparate factions of the Scottish nobility vied with one another to secure the throne. Both the Bruce and the Comyn family, from whom the majority of the exiles were descended, danced back and forth across the line between loyalists and collaborators in their attempts to dominate Scottish politics. The Bruces and their allies eventually triumphed in this dual struggle, but it was a victory of family and faction rather than kingdom or nation. The return of these disinherited nobles and the war they unleashed eventually re-awakened English ambitions to annex Scotland, spiralling into the Second War of Independence. This book explores the history of the families that produced these exiles, as well as their conduct in both Wars of Independence, to gain a valuable new perspective on Scotland’s historical struggle for independence and uncover the truth of the, all but forgotten, civil war that did so much to define it.

Stalingrad Survivor


These startling memoirs offer a rare insight into the experiences of a prisoner of war within the brutal Russian camp system. The book begins with the capture of Austrian infantryman Wolfram ‘Wolfie’ Redler amid the chaos following the fall of Stalingrad. It recounts the forced march eastwards and his transportation to Siberia during the merciless Russian winter. Stricken with typhus, he somehow manages to survive this ‘death camp’. The story continues with his transfer to a labour camp, describing in harrowing detail the deprivations endured by Redler and his comrades. That he, or anyone, was able to survive is nothing short of a miracle. Brutality, starvation, disease, and hard labour took their toll on over ninety per cent of the troops who were captured in those first few months of 1943. Translated into English for the first time, this honest and unflinching account is a stark reminder of the cruelty of war. However, the great lesson of this book is not how we die, but how we live. Despite the suffering he witnessed and endured, ‘Wolfie’ remained a man who showed everyone around him what it truly means to live.

The Hula Painted Frog


**This is a story of environmental hope.****It is a story of resilience.****It is a story of… a frog.**In the 1950s, measures to control malaria led to the destruction of the Hula painted frog’s unique marshy habitat along the River Jordan in Israel. Decades passed, and after trying many times to find the frog, scientists declared the species extinct. But in 2011, the frog leaped into the scientific spotlight when it reemerged in the waters of a small nature preserve. Against all the odds, the species had managed to survive, hidden from humans for more than fifty years in the grass and mud. This delightful picture book tells the story of the frog’s miraculous return from the brink of extinction. Told from the perspective of one of the frogs, it is a heart-warming cautionary tale that will inspire children to care for and help protect the environment. Maya Gonen is an illustrator and graphic designer who prefers projects with social, environmental, or meaningful added value. She works with both traditional and digital techniques and is always happy to embark on new creative adventures. In 2024, a wordless picture book she illustrated was a finalist in the Silent Book Contest and exhibited at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair. Maya has a background in photography and co-founded an artist collective earlier in her career.

The Battle of Leuctra, 371 BC


After defeating a coalition of Athens, Thebes, Persia, and other Greek city-states at the end of the Corinthian War in 387 BC, Sparta tyrannized all of Greece with nearly unchecked power. But her empire had been hollowed by the cost of generations of war and a most unfavourable trend in demographics: a sharp decline in Spartan soldiers and citizens. With Sparta's infirmity came a desperately tighter grip on Greece. And Sparta’s renowned king, Agesilaus II, held a special hatred for Thebes. After conquering the city in 382 BC, Sparta dismantled Thebes and intended to permanently eliminate their Theban problem. Thebes, though, was stubbornly resilient in the face of Sparta’s cruelty and not only survived Spartan occupation, but soon overthrew Sparta and aimed to shatter her empire. Against the odds, Thebes succeeded. Her victory boiled down to the indomitable spirit of two men: the irreproachable general Epaminondas and the cunning statesman Pelopidas. The two formed a local resistance movement that first liberated their home from Spartan oppression in 378 and then challenged Sparta’s empire outright in the Theban-Spartan War. By 371 at the Battle of Leuctra, their vision of a free Thebes and broken Sparta was realized, and the infamous Spartan war machine was at long last defeated. For the first time since the age of mythology, Thebes reigned supreme over Greece. Leuctra was the lynchpin of the new Theban Hegemony, and began a new era of empire in Greece, and the first power in centuries that was not Athens or Sparta.

In Company with Tanks


As the Second World War loomed, the Territorial Army was doubled and 2nd Battalion, The London Rifle Brigade was formed. This title was short lived and 8th Rifle Brigade joined the newly raised 11th Armoured Division in the spring of 1941. Three years of training followed, with regular changes of tactics and developments in weapons and equipment. Some of these were still being implemented at the last moment before the invasion of North West Europe, including the issue of a mix of Lend Lease US halftracks. Deploying to Normandy, 8 RB’s companies were attached to their respective Sherman regiments of 29 Armoured Brigade and were well prepared for their part in Operation EPSOM. At the tip of the salient driven across the Odon, the Riflemen fought their first bloody action on Hill 112. Operation GOODWOOD followed in mid-July, with successful infantry assaults on villages before tank casualties and heavy rain brought a halt to the battle. At the end of the month, with the American breakout gaining momentum, the 11th Armoured Division was transferred west into the Bocage in Operation BLUECOAT. In very different terrain the Riflemen played a leading part in the advance south. Having reached Preseles, again at the tip of an advance, 8 RB fought a desperate defensive battle against an SS panzer division. But by now the Germans were becoming exhausted and over two weeks, the pattern was an advance 10 miles or so against delaying positions before facing a serious German position, usually based on an obstacle as dusk settled. Overnight the enemy withdrew again, and the process was repeated daily to Falaise and beyond. The distances covered in the pursuit to the Seine were greater but with the seizure of a crossing at Venon, the division was rushed forward and in a remarkable advance of many miles against disorganised German formations, the division took Amiens and secured bridges over the River Somme, forestalling enemy attempts to form a defensive line.

The Southern Railway 1923 - 1935


The Southern Railway was the smallest of the ‘Big Four’ railway companies created under the Railways Act 1921 having a route mileage of 2,129 miles stretching London in the north to Plymouth in the south and from Ramsgate in the east to Padstow in the west. Its ships served France and the Channel Islands. Its principal revenue came from passengers and not goods traffic unlike the other three companies. In many ways it was the most progressive of the four being the only one to go for extensive electrification. This volume covers the years 1923 from the Company’s formation to 1935 and the completion of the first stage of the main line electrifications. As well the electrification of the Southern’s entire suburban system and the beginning of the main line electrifications the years saw a number of other major works including the re-signalling of Waterloo Station and the rebuilding of stations in Hastings, Dover and Southampton along with improvements to Southampton Docks. The Railway had to fight growing competition from bus and coach operators for domestic services and airlines for international services. The Company invested in both bus companies and in Imperial Airways and later participated in Railway Air Services. Its motive power was varied with at the formation of the company some locomotives dating back to mid 1860s and some only recently built. To these were added a variety of classes including the less than successful Lord Nelson Class and the very successful Schools Class.

Everest Surgeon


This is the first biography of Michael Ward (1925–2005): mountaineer, surgeon, scientist, explorer and writer. Amongst his many accomplishments, it describes – from his unique perspective – the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953, when he was expedition doctor. Before this, he instigated the 1951 Reconnaissance Expedition, which discovered the route climbers would take to Everest’s summit after poring over forgotten maps and aerial photographs. During the ground-breaking 1960–61 Himalayan Scientific and Mountaineering Expedition, he led the first ascent of the iconic Ama Dablam, notably during winter, a climb considered years ahead of its time. As an explorer, he was one of the first Europeans to travel through, and map, the remote northern regions of Bhutan, while conducting a medical survey of its inhabitants. He went on to write the first textbook on mountain medicine, which remains in print today. In 1981, just as China was opening up following its turbulent Cultural Revolution, Ward organised and led an expedition there, which made the first ascent of Mount Kongur. The following year, the Royal Geographic Society awarded him its highest honour, the Founder’s (Gold) Medal. Ward climbed with some of the legends of mountaineering: Eric Shipton, Ed Hillary, Tenzing Norgay and Chris Bonington; and this book relates many stories during his time with them. It also contains never-before published material, including Ward’s view of some controversial incidents during that history-making climb of Everest, as his widow allowed full access to his expedition diaries and his unpublished, hand-written autobiography.
