A Model Spy
A Model Spy is the never before told story of Gisela Klein, Germany's secret weapon. A woman of brains, beauty and charm, who befriended everyone from members of the British Royal household to the man who should have been the President of the United States of America. A self-professed "anti-Nazi" and a networker of genius, she was the first steady girlfriend of the serial philanderer and British member of Parliament Jack Profumo. She was an intelligence asset for Germany in the 1930s who camouflaged her own link to Adolf Hitler's second in command, Herman Goering. She wasn't a full time spy, the tall green-eyed, blond-haired Gisela had a glittering career as an international model and was at the core of Nazi attempts to use fashion as a weapon of culture and a source of hard currency for the armaments Hitler needed. In 1935 the MP Nancy Astor told people her beautiful guest at Cliveden was a spy. In 1938 MI5 tried but failed to arrest her. Only in 1944, as the allies fought their way towards Germany, would the Bletchley Park codebreakers provide clear evidence of her shrouded role for German military intelligence, the Abwehr. Gisela Klein weaves her way through the turbulent history of the 1930s and 1940s via London, Paris, Cairo, St Moritz, Cannes, New York, Berlin and Vienna as she combines intelligence gathering with couture.
Kapitoly z dejín habsburskej monarchie v ranom novoveku (viacjazyčný zborník)
Habsburgovci a ich monarchia na dlhé stáročia spojili osudy obyvateľov Uhorska, českých krajín, rakúskych krajín, Chorvátska i veľkej časti Poľska. Na teritóriu monarchie vznikla jedinečná viacjazyčná a viackonfesionálna kultúra, ktorá žije dodnes v potomkoch ich vtedajších obyvateľov, v ich mentalite, každodennom správaní i kultúrnom vkuse bez toho, aby sa dokázali dohovoriť spoločným jazykom. Cieľom autorov jednotlivých príspevkov tohto zborníka bolo priblíženie kľúčových udalosti prvých storočí existencie habsburskej monarchie, geopolitického celku, ktorý sa takto v priebehu dejín nikdy nevolal. Spolu s ním sa na javisko dejín dostala aj dynastia Habsburgovcov. Habsburgovci a ich „súštátie“ zohrali v priebehu štyroch storočí významnú úlohu vo všetkých dôležitých udalostiach i procesoch vo vývine európskeho kontinentu. Ich účinkovanie je dodnes hodnotené pozitívne, negatívne i kontroverzne (napr. zastavenie osmanskej expanzie na jedneja násilnú rekapituláciu na druhom konci spektra).
Zborník obsahuje príspevky v slovenčine, češtine, maďarčine aj v nemčine.
The Faithful Dark
This is the city of miracles, but not everything miraculous is good.
In a holy walled city where sin and sanctity are revealed through touch, Csilla - a girl born without a soul - is worth little to the Church that raised her. But when a series of murders corrodes the faithful magic that keep the city safe, the Church elders see a use for her flaw: she can assassinate their prime suspect, a heretic with divine heritage, without risking the stain of sin.
The heretic, however, makes Csilla a counteroffer: clear his name by helping him catch the real killer, and he'll use his angelic gifts to grant her very own soul.
Meanwhile, ruthless Ilan, desperate to earn back his position as Church Inquisitor, sees the case as his chance at redemption: he'll bring in the murderer - or, failing that, Csilla and the heretic - and regain his title.
But as the death toll rises, and their hunt pits them against the all-powerful and callous Faith, Csilla finds herself torn. Will her salvation come at the cost of everything she believes in?
The Flirting Game
My new neighbour is a hot, grumpy hockey player who works out shirtless on his porch every morning. But it's not technically spying if I just happen to be on my patio at the same time. . . right?
Imagine my surprise when the sexy grouch turns out to be the client who just hired me to redecorate the house he's giving his mom.
What's a ray of sunshine like me to do? Pretend I've never noticed his abs while we pick out furniture - since I'd never date a client. And Ford Devon? He's made it clear this is his final season, and he wants zero distractions.
Which means I need to exercise some serious resistance. . . To his cool blue eyes that track my every move. To that deep voice that makes me shiver. And to the mouth that shuts me up one night in our shared backyard with a scorching kiss.
Oops.
We agree it's a one-time slip up. But when he insists on being my date to my cheating ex's party. . . we slip up again into a very fun sleepover. With our dogs watching!
One fake date at a charity gala turns into another at a hockey game, and somewhere between fabric swatches and porch picnics, I stop pretending.
But how do I convince Ford that with me, he can have both love and hockey?
Tropes:
- ice hockey romance
- neighbours-to-lovers
- grumpy x sunshine
- fake dating
Fearless and Free
This is the iconic Josephine Baker in her own words. Funny, candid and unconventional: the wildly famous but elusive Josephine Baker tells her own story in this enchanting memoir. Baker took Paris by storm in the 1920s, dazzling audiences with her humour, beauty and effervescence on stage.
She became an icon. Later, as one of the most recognisable women in the world, she became a spy for the French resistance and was awarded the Légion d’honneur for military service. After the war she became a civil rights activist, and in 1963 she spoke at the March on Washington alongside Martin Luther King.
All this from a girl of mixed heritage, born in Missouri to a poor mother and a father she did not know. Formed from a series of conversations with the French journalist Marcel Sauvage over a period of more than twenty years, and now translated into English for the first time, this gorgeous book offers an insight into one of the most beguiling figures of the twentieth century.
Food and Nutrition
An eye-opening examination of food and nutrition that reveals the truth about what we eat and why it matters, while helping readers distinguish between science and disinformation and inspiring eaters to create healthy and sustainable diets for all. From plant-based meat to ultra-processed foods, GMOs to grass-fed beef, our newsfeeds are abound with food and nutrition advice--and a lot of it just isn''t true. From sensational headlines to social media anecdotes, misinformation doesn''t make it easy for eaters just trying to get a healthy meal on the table. Meanwhile, congested food environments fuel incessant consumption, making everyday diets more like an all-you-can-eat buffet--and not in a good way. There is an urgent need for evidence-based guidance that nurtures good health, wellbeing, and green eating, and Harvard- and Columbia-trained scientist and food lover Dr. P.K. Newby heeds the call. In Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know®, Newby cuts through the confusion, addressing 158 standalone questions on why what we eat matters, farm to fork and far beyond. With wisdom and wit, Newby shines a spotlight on today''s food challenges while showing that the whole diet is greater than the sum of its parts, and one size doesn''t fit all. The book applies an ecological lens, delving into the interconnected aspects of health, environment, economy, and society, reminding that food isn''t just medicine, nor is individual nutrition its only offering. This second edition dives deeper into the global agrifood system, revealing striking new data on plant-based diets, longevity, and sustainability; food and mental health; diet, COVID-19, and immunity; mega-factory-farming and climate change; and ultra-processed foods and chronic disease.Newby''s passion for all things food shines through, as does her belief in the power of the human spirit, science, and technology to create healthy and sustainable diets for ourselves, our future, and for the planet we share. The time for the next food revolution is now.
McTeague
McTeague (1899) chronicles the demise of a San Francisco couple at the end of the nineteenth century. Inspired by an actual crime that was sensationalized in the San Francisco papers, it tells the story of charlatan dentist McTeague, his wife Trina, and their spiralling descent into moral corruption. Norris is often considered to be the `American Zola'', and this is one of the most purely naturalistic American novels of the nineteenth century. With its compelling portrayal of human nature at its most basic level, McTeague is a gripping and passionate tale of greed, degeneration and death. It is also one of the first major works of literature to set in California, and it provided the story for Erich von Stroheim''s classic of the silent screen, Greed. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Enemy of the State
For much of the twentieth century, relations between Britain and the Soviet Union were defined by mutual hostility and distrust. From the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution until the last days of the Cold War, the British establishment was greatly concerned about the threat of Soviet-inspired subversion and secretly monitored thousands of citizens because of their real or perceived links to communism, the Soviet Union, or both. Enemy of the State reveals the story of how Britain''s intelligence services watched individuals on the grounds of protecting democracy. Using phone taps, hidden microphones, mail interception and covert break-ins, this covert surveillance led them to investigate, amongst others, trade unionists, scientists, politicians, anti-nuclear protesters, and those campaigning against apartheid. The culture of secrecy permeating British institutions has meant that the extent of the activities of British security and intelligence establishments has often been unknown. Drawing on files of the British government and intelligence agencies, Oliver Price argues that whilst communism had little impact on British politics, the fear of it led to the widespread monitoring of political and protest groups in Britain. Britain was long considered a country in which so-called ''political policing'' and the surveillance of civilians was resisted. As Enemy of the State shows, the events of the twentieth century reshaped official attitudes and normalised widespread surveillance.

Puck and Prejudice - Bodicsek és balítélet
Egy nem mindennapi érdekházasság története egy 21. századi profi jégkorongozó és Jane Austen pimasz barátnője között a régenskori Angliában, a 19. század elején. Hogy ez nem lehetséges? Dehogynem!
Tucker Taylor, az Austini Királyok hokicsapatának kapusa egy betegség miatt pihenőre kényszerül, ezért úgy dönt, hogy meglátogatja a húgát Angliában. Útközben azonban balesetet szenved, és egy jeges tóba hajt.
Amikor kimászik, 1812-ben találja magát, és egy megbabonázó, kék szemű nő úgy bámul rá, mintha két feje nőtt volna.
Lizzy Wooddash egy könyvekkel és izgalmas beszélgetésekkel teli életről álmodik, olyan irodalmi példaképek, mint a barátnője, Jane Austen társaságában. És ami a legfontosabb – férj nélkül.
A régenskori Angliában azonban nőként kizárólag az özvegyek élvezhették elvárásoktól mentesen a szabadságot és a társasági elfoglaltságokat.
Az egyetlen módja, hogy Lizzy gyorsan özvegy legyen, ha összeházasodik egy haldokló férfival, vagy megöl egy teljesen egészségeset, bár egyikhez sem fűlik a foga.
Egy jövőből érkező férfi viszont álomférj lenne. Az esküvő után ugyanis kitalálhatják, hogyan juttassák vissza Tuckert a saját idejébe, és az eltűnése – vagyis halála – után Lizzy az az özvegy lehetne, aki mindig is szeretett volna lenni. De amint izzani kezd közöttük a levegő, rájönnek, hogy a szív ügyei ritkán követik az aprólékosan kidolgozott terveket.
Kiállhatja a szerelmük az idő próbáját, vagy Lizzy pontosan azt kapja, amit akart – és egy összetört szívet?
„Elég forró ahhoz, hogy megolvassza a jeget.” – Kirkus Reviews

Tüskék és rózsák udvara 5: A Court of Silver Flames – Ezüst lángok udvara
Sarah J. Maas lélegzetelállító romantasysorozata, a Tüskék és rózsák udvara szenvedélyes és érzéki
folytatása, A BESTSELLERLISTÁK éléről.
Nesta Archeron mindig is ingerlékeny és büszke volt, hirtelen gerjed haragra, és lassan bocsát meg. Amióta az Üstbe kényszerítették, és akarata ellenére főtündérré vált, nehezen találja a helyét a különös, veszedelmes világban, ahol él. Úgy tűnik, képtelen túllépni a Hybern elleni háború rémségein
és mindazon, amit ott elveszített.
És van valaki, aki mindenki másnál könnyebben feldühíti: Cassian, a sok csatát megjárt harcos, aki a Rhysand és Feyre uralta Éjszaka udvarában betöltött pozíciója miatt folyamatosan Nesta útjába keveredik. De Cassian nem csak a haragját szítja fel. Le sem tagadhatnák a kettejük közötti szikrákat
– és a szenvedélyük fellángol, amikor kénytelenek egy fedél alá költözni.
Mindeközben az áruló emberkirálynők, akik az előző háború során visszatértek a kontinensre, veszélyes új szövetséget kötnek, és a vidék törékeny békéjét fenyegetik. A megállításuk kulcsa pedig azon múlik, képes-e Cassian és Nesta szembenézni az őket kísértő múlttal.
Ők ketten belső és külső rémekkel küzdenek a bizonytalansággal teli világban, miközben elfogadást – és gyógyulást – keresnek egymás karjában.
Add át magad a sodrásának!
Fess az ujjaddal - Húsvét

Blessed be the Wicked - Áldottak a gonoszok (Sötét Maji 2.)
„Ő maga volt a káosz. Egy gyönyörű káosz; fékezhetetlen, mint a vihar.”
Aki megpróbálja csapdába csalni Quinnt, hogy sötét hatalmát a saját céljaira használhassa…
Aki el akarja pusztítani, mert túl veszélyesnek tartja ahhoz, hogy kockáztasson…
…azt a végén Lazarus elpusztítja – mert Quinn az ő fegyvere, és Lord Fiertének esze ágában sincs ezen változtatni.
Figyelmeztették ugyan, hogy Quinn ereje még az övét is meghaladhatja. De amíg a lány tőrt nem szegezett neki, a hatalmát Lazarus nem foghatta fel – és most képtelen megállítani Quinnt.
Norcasta jövendő királyaként pedig meg kell találnia a módját, hogy visszaszerezze az irányítást, és biztosítsa a szövetséget a Kalózkirálynővel… mielőtt minden gondosan felépített terve szertefoszlana.
Mint Lord Fierté vazallusa és jobbkeze, Quinn azon dolgozik, hogy elősegítse a szövetség megkötését Ilvasszal. Ám hamarosan hazugságokkal teli hálóba gabalyodik. Saját és társai életét is kénytelen kockára tenni, és Quinn-nek olyan döntést kell meghoznia, amely vagy megmenti, vagy végleg elpusztítja őket.
Hív a sötét birodalom!
