The Deaf Girl
An inspiring story of hearing loss and hope from The Bachelor's first deaf contestant
Abigail Heringer made her television debut as an instant fan-favorite on season 25 of The Bachelor. Stepping out of the limousine, she approached her bachelor with a playful declaration: she would be staring at his lips all night for two compelling reasons-her profound deafness since birth and because he had some nice lips!
But Abigail's journey wasn't always marked by such confidence. Growing up deaf and introverted, she dreaded being the center of attention, fearing her disability would burden those around her. Among her hearing peers, she felt like an outsider, simply labeled as "the deaf girl." And after receiving a cochlear implant at the age of two, she subsequently struggled to find her place in the Deaf community too. Caught in between two worlds and grappling to define her identity as a deaf woman, Abigail felt like she belonged in neither.
Supported by her family, particularly her deaf older sister Rachel, Abigail has come to understand that while being deaf is part of her identity, it doesn't define her. Throughout her journey, marked by challenges and adversity, Abigail has grown into her own strongest advocate, discovering a new voice that is confident, fearless, and empowered-a voice that enables her to proudly reclaim the title of "the deaf girl" she once resisted and rewrite it as a testament to her resilience and strength.
Hopeful, vulnerable, and uplifting, The Deaf Girl shares Abigail's journey of navigating life with a profound hearing loss and her transformation from merely accepting her disability to embracing it wholeheartedly. This memoir serves as an inspiring reminder for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider or struggled to embrace their differences, showcasing that every voice is worthy of being heard.
No Man's Land
The Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars-and maybe it would have been, had an even greater, otherworldly foe not arisen to extinguish the conflict. Overnight, as guns blazed away in France and Flanders, village after village in the quiet British countryside were swallowed by the Forest. And within the Forest lurk the Huldu-an ancient fae race, monstrous in their inhumanity, who have decided that mankind''s ascendency over the world can endure no longer. Enter Duncan Silver. Scarred by the war, fueled by a rage deeper than the trenches in which he once fought, Duncan is determined to show the Huldu that the world is not theirs for the taking. Armed with a cut-down trench gun filled with iron shot and a deadly iron knife, Duncan will stop at nothing to return the children the Huldu have stolen from the arms of their families. No matter how many Huldu he may have to slaughter along the way. But when he is hired by a mother to return her four-year-old daughter, Miriam-taken by the Huldu six months past and replaced with a Changeling-all hell breaks loose. Miriam is a pawn in a much bigger game for dominance than Duncan ever expected, and several long-buried secrets from his past are about to be violently resurrected.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Little treasures, the FLAME TREE COLLECTABLE CLASSICS are chosen to create a delightful and timeless home library. Each stunning, gift edition features deluxe cover treatments, ribbon markers, luxury endpapers and gilded edges. The unabridged text is accompanied by a Glossary of Victorian and Literary terms produced for the modern reader.
A gorgeous new edition. L. Frank Baum's work is universally celebrated and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is known worldwide as a classic, in particular for its 1939 musical film adaptation starring Judy Garland as Dorothy. Published in 1900, the novel depicted the young farm girl Dorothy and her pet dog Toto, who are swept away to the Land of Oz in a cyclone and meet a whole host of characters on their journey to the Emerald City. Baum was inspired by the works of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, focusing on manipulating the fairy tale tradition with an American feel in the Oz series. In addition to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (the first in the Oz series), this edition also includes the novels The Scarecrow of Oz and The Tin Woodman of Oz, centred around two of the original novel's beloved characters.

Chinese Cosmopolitanism
A provocative defense of a forgotten Chinese approach to identity and differenceHistorically, the Western encounter with difference has been catastrophic: the extermination and displacement of aboriginal populations, the transatlantic slave trade, and colonialism. China, however, took a different historical path. In Chinese Cosmopolitanism, Shuchen Xiang argues that the Chinese cultural tradition was, from its formative beginnings and throughout its imperial history, a cosmopolitan melting pot that synthesized the different cultures that came into its orbit. Unlike the West, which cast its collisions with different cultures in Manichean terms of the ontologically irreconcilable difference between civilization and barbarism, China was a dynamic identity created out of difference. The reasons for this, Xiang argues, are philosophical: Chinese philosophy has the conceptual resources for providing alternative ways to understand pluralism. Xiang explains that “Chinese” identity is not what the West understands as a racial identity; it is not a group of people related by common descent or heredity but rather a hybrid of coalescing cultures. To use the Western discourse of race to frame the Chinese view of non-Chinese, she argues, is a category error. Xiang shows that China was both internally cosmopolitan, embracing distinct peoples into a common identity, and externally cosmopolitan, having knowledge of faraway lands without an ideological need to subjugate them. Contrasting the Chinese understanding of efficacy—described as “harmony”—with the Western understanding of order, she argues that the Chinese sought to gain influence over others by having them spontaneously accept the virtue of one’s position. These ideas from Chinese philosophy, she contends, offer a new way to understand today’s multipolar world and can make a valuable contribution to contemporary discussions in the critical philosophy of race.
Fantasies of the Body
In this short, masterful gem of a novel, David Plante’s seasoned narrator contemplates the connection between physical beauty and love, drawing on literary references and personal experiences to explore these themes.The unnamed narrator of this brief, urgent novel, a young novelist making his way in the literary world, writes of his fascination with two enigmatic, troubled young men, one a Boston Brahmin and the other a lofty undergraduate at England’s Cambridge University whom the narrator meets during his writer-in-residency. With each young man the narrator engages in a complex relationship filled with intellectual and erotic tension and each relationship leaves him feeling unfulfilled. By contrast, the narrator relates the story of his deep and abiding romantic life with an English poet, who introduces him to the remaining members of The Bloomsbury group as well as E.M. Forster and who guides him toward the publishers who bring out his early work. However, the poet dies young, and the narrator is once against cast adrift and his quest to find new, intimate interactions with the tragic young men he encounters causes him to reflect on the nature of beauty, love, and the intellectual life, emphasizing the transient and often unfulfilled desires that drive human connections.
Riding Into History
As a member of the integrated Women’s Army Corps, Private First Class Sarah Keys served her country as a receptionist at Fort Dix, New Jersey. When she boarded a bus home to North Carolina in 1952, she never expected to be arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for refusing to move to the rear so a white Marine could take her seat. Her landmark 1955 Civil Rights victory, “Sarah Keys v. Carolina Coach Company” not only desegregated interstate bus travel, it also provided the legal precedent needed during the 1961 Freedom Rides to pressure the Interstate Commerce Commission to properly enforce its Sarah Keys ruling. Often overlooked in many accounts of the Civil Rights era, her arrest and victory are crucial milestones in the fight against segregation. Riding into History draws on years of personal conversations with Sarah Keys Evans as well as extensive research to present a biography of this hero and her role in the struggle for civil rights alongside the long history of many other Black Americans, especially women, who protested racial segregation in interstate travel.
Stone
“Invaluable. . . . [What] comes across in these translations is the verve and immediacy of the poems’ occasions.”—Seamus HeaneyA groundbreaking translation of the brilliant first book by one of the twentieth century’s most important poetsStone—Osip Mandelstam’s 1913 debut—marked the arrival of perhaps the greatest Russian poet of the twentieth century, one whose refusal to bow to Soviet political and artistic dictates led to his persecution and eventual death in one of Stalin’s prison camps. Mandelstam spent his early years in St. Petersburg, and many of the poems in Stone depict the city’s vast squares, classical buildings, and Dutch canals. Other poems reflect his hunger for Western European culture, his commitment to humanistic values, and his ambition to become a master of the Russian language. This bilingual edition is based on the final version of Stone, published in 1928, and features a biographical and critical introduction and detailed annotations.
Láska v Hedgehog Hollow
Autorka bestsellerov s viac než miliónom predaných výtlačkov
Je možné nájsť lásku práve vtedy, keď ju prestaneme hľadať?
Keď Samantha Wishawová sleduje, ako si láska jej života berie inú ženu, definitívne stráca vieru vo vlastný šťastný koniec. So zlomeným srdcom a unavená z neustálych rodinných sporov túži aspoň na chvíľu zmiznúť z vlastného života, spomaliť a opäť sa slobodne nadýchnuť.
Šanca na únik prichádza nečakane na pokojnom anglickom vidieku, kde sa z náhodného stretnutia zrodí tiché, no hlboké priateľstvo s Thomasom – osamelým a mrzutým vdovcom, ktorý žije v chátrajúcom vidieckom sídle zvanom Hedgehog Hollow.
Spolu oživia dávny sen, ktorý mal Thomas kedysi so svojou zosnulou manželkou Gwendoline: vdýchnuť tomuto miestu nový život a vytvoriť záchranné centrum pre ježkov. A hoci pôvodne hľadala len rozptýlenie, postupne zisťuje, že obnova Hedgehog Hollow jej dáva dôvod veriť, že môže byť opäť šťastná.
Keď sa Sam s odhodlaním pustí do obnovy Hedgehog Hollow, netuší, že popri záchrane tohto výnimočného miesta možno zachráni aj vlastné srdce. Pretože láska a šťastie sa niekedy objavia presne vtedy, keď ich čakáme najmenej.

Nádej v našich činoch: Príbeh o odvahe viesť
Sanna Marin, bývalá fínska premiérka, vo svojich memoároch otvára dvere do zákulisia svojej neuveriteľnej cesty, keď sa ako tridsaťštyriročná stala najmladšou premiérkou na svete. V čase, keď ľudstvo čelilo viacerým krízam, si získala rešpekt rozhodnosťou, progresívnymi myšlienkami a neochvejnou vierou, že každý z nás môže meniť svet k lepšiemu. Pretože odvaha nepozná vek ani limity.
Jej príbeh je plný odolnosti a nádeje. Ako prvá v rodine vyštudovala vysokú školu, prekonala mnohé prekážky a stala sa vzorom pre mladé dievčatá aj ženy na celom svete. Počas jej úradovania došlo k viacerým historickým míľnikom – viedla Fínsko cez pandémiu ochorenia COVID-19 a jej vláda zaviedla reformy cielené na klímu, sociálnu spravodlivosť a rovnosť. Na čele krajiny stála v čase ničivej invázie susedného Ruska na Ukrajinu, ako aj pri rýchlom pristúpení Fínska do NATO.
Nádej v našich činoch je výzvou k odvahe konať. Marin povzbudzuje budúcu generáciu, aby sa nebála pretvárať budúcnosť a do svojej práce vložila odhodlanie a vieru. Jej príbeh ukazuje, že odvážne rozhodnutia a činy dokážu meniť dejiny.

FÜLSZÖVEG
Itt semmi sem az, aminek látszik, és senki sem az, akinek mondja magát!
Rosabelle Carter új megbízást kap: felügyelőként kell beépülnie az ország egyik szigorúan őrzött börtönébe. Feladata, hogy elcsábítsa a tisztességes, ám tekintélyt parancsoló Caleb Norton főfelügyelőt többek között avégett, hogy az SF büntetés-végrehajtási intézmény falain belül gördülékenyebben bonyolíthassa apja piszkos üzleteit.
Vajon sikerül elterelnie Caleb Norton főfelügyelő figyelmét arról, miszerint a börtön lassan nem más, mint a rabok játszótere? Vagy Rosabelle Carter lesz az, akit a becsület, a jóság és a tisztesség elgondolkodtat saját tettein? Egy idő után mindketten sejtik, hogy vonzalmuk egymás iránt végzetes lehet, mégis egyre nehezebben tudják elkülöníteni szerepüket a valóságtól.
A börtön sötét folyosóin felvetődik a kérdés, vajon mindenki ártatlan-e azok közül, akik a zárkán kívül vannak, és bűnösök-e mind, akiket elítéltek? Itt nemcsak a fogvatartottak őriznek titkokat, de az őrök sem azok, akiknek látszanak, sőt, még a főfelügyelő is rejteget valamit. A valódi kérdés csak az, ki irányít kit, és túlélheti-e bárki ezt a veszélyes játékot, amit űznek?
Léteznek egyáltalán ártatlanok, vagy mindenki bűnös valamiben?
B. E. BELLE Az Év Könyve díjas szerző. Elítéltek című nagy sikerű regényét követően ismételten a büntetés-végrehajtási intézmények világába kalauzolja el az olvasót. Az Ártatlanok címet viselő regényben azonban egy olyan börtöné a főszerep, ahol javarészt még mindig a fogvatartottak uralkodnak. A szerző ezúttal is őszintén és hitelesen ragadott tollat egy olyan téma kapcsán, amely mélyen elgondolkodtatja az olvasót arról, mi igaz a világban, és mi nem, továbbá bemutatja, milyen fontos szerepet játszik jellemünk formálásában a környezetünk.
