When her college flame returns with a tempting proposition-he''ll promote her business in the local Cinco de Mayo Street Festival if she''ll bring him into the world of tequila-it''s as if the holiday spirits are bringing Jaime and Alma back together. She has plenty to teach him about tequila-from harvesting the agave to taking a proper sip, and even introduces him to farmers who grow and bottle their own local mezcals. Their chemistry is intoxicating, but Jaime''s ulterior motives for reconnecting bring the threat of another serious love hangover, leaving them both to wonder if this second chance at romance is worth the shot...

Bon, Buddhism in the Tamang
The book explores the social, cultural, and religious history of the Tamang, an indigenous ethnic community primarily found in Nepal, with significant populations in India and other countries. The Tamang are known for their rich cultural heritage, language, and traditions. They practice Bon, the ancient religion of Tibet, and Lamaist Buddhism, embodying values from both belief systems. This Tamang tribe, part of the Tibeto-Mongoloid stock, is considered socially and culturally primitive. However, due to the lack of a written script, there is limited historical evidence to reconstruct the history of the Tamang community. Despite this scarcity of recorded information, the Tamang has a wealth of alternative sources such as folklore, folktales, songs, genealogical stories, and some Buddhist accounts. Some of the best examples of these alternative sources come from the roles of Tamba and Ganba.

Momo - filmes borító
Momo, a történet borzas kis hősnője egy szál virággal a kezében és egy teknősbékával a karján sikeresen veszi fel a harcot a szürkék seregével, akik csalással elorozták az emberektől az időt. Az idő maga az élet, és az élet a szívben lakozik. Minél inkább takarékoskodnak vele, annál szegényebb, sivárabb és hidegebb lesz a jelenük, és annál idegenebbé válnak önmaguk számára is.
A világsikert aratott mű Kalász Márton fordításában olvasható.

Azt hiszed, az iskola stresszes? Próbálj meg élőben szólózni, miközben egy démonkutyával harcolsz! Tél van a K-Pop Akadémián, Nari pedig a legnagyobb lehetőségét kapja: előadhatja a hőn áhított (és, öhm, talán egy kicsit elátkozott) Rivaldafény szólót az iskola holdújévi ünnepségén.
Szembenézni a félelmeivel már önmagában is hatalmas feladat, különösen úgy, hogy egy tüzes démonkutya szabadult el, amely a körülöttük lévő káoszból és önbizalomhiányukból táplálkozik. Így az AURA többi tagjával az oldalán és a feltörekvő fiúcsapat, a VORTEX segítségével Narinak össze kell szednie minden bátorságát, hogy tökéletesen énekeljen, közben megmentse az iskoláját, és bebizonyítsa: a barátság fénye erősebb a félelemnél.
Šnek je pomalý, ale nikdy nemá zpoždění
Tichá revoluce proti kultuře spěchu a připomínka toho, že být pomalý neznamená být líný
Už vás někdy napadlo, že šnek, který se pohybuje pomalu, nikdy nedorazí na konec cesty? Už jste ho někdy chtěli popadnout a přemístit ho blíže k cíli? Nejen v Koreji, odkud autorka pochází, ale v celém našem moderním světě je rychlé a pohotové jednání obvykle spojováno s pílí, inteligencí a úspěchem. Pomalé tempo naopak s leností a nedostatečným úsilím. Základní pravda vesmíru je však ta, že v pomalém je obsaženo rychlé a v rychlém zase pomalé. Všechno je vzájemně propojeno a jedno bez druhého nemůže existovat. Tato filozofie nás vybízí nahlédnout trochu jiným způsobem nejen na svět a ostatní lidi, ale také na sebe samé.
Kniha Šnek je pomalý, ale nikdy nemá zpoždění přináší útěchu a klid. Její autorka, buddhistická mniška Jung-mok, nás učí, jak zpomalit a osvobodit se od stresu, který provází náš život v moderním světě plném shonu. Prostřednictvím příběhů z říše přírody, inspirovaných buddhistickou filozofií, se s námi Jung-mok podělí o svou laskavou moudrost a nabídne jednoduchá cvičení, jež nám pomohou žít šťastněji. Knížka vám otevře oči, abyste uviděli krásu, která nás obklopuje, a dokázali najít vnitřní mír a klid.
Podle lidských měřítek je rychlost šneka směšně malá. Podle měřítek světa je ale prostě dokonalá. Sbírka krátkých příběhů a moudrých jednohubek od korejské buddhistické mnišky Jung-mok nás vybízí, abychom více vnímali okolní svět, a radí, jak dosáhnout štěstí a spokojenosti.

Stručné dějiny konce světa
3000 let nenaplněných apokalyps, odložených soudných dnů a zrušených předpovědí zkázy v novince od autora bestselleru Dějiny lidských průserů
Máte pocit, že žijeme na konci dějin? Zdá se vám, že všechno hoří a jedna katastrofa střídá druhou? Tady je malá útěcha: nejste první, kdo to tak cítí. Pokud existuje něco, na čem se lidé napříč dějinami shodují, pak je to přesvědčení, že svět už dlouho nevydrží.
Tato kniha je o apokalypse a o tom, jak lidé vždy věřili, že je velmi blízko. Během tisíců let se setkáme s podivnými kulty, neúspěšnými proroky a masovou panikou, svatými válečníky vedoucími povstání v očekávání posledních dnů a obyvateli předměstí čekajícími na mimozemšťany, kteří je zachrání z planety Země odsouzené k zániku. Vrátíme se do období, kdy se svět potýkal současně s pandemií a klimatickou krizí. A podíváme se do budoucnosti, abychom si položili znepokojivou otázku: jak to všechno skončí?
Ale je to také kniha o tom, jak žijeme ve světě, kde se vždy vznáší hrozba katastrofy – ať už jde o šílence s jaderným tlačítkem, nebo pomalý kolaps životního prostředí. Protože když mluvíme o konci světa, máme na mysli konec našeho světa. Naše posedlost soudným dnem je ve skutečnosti o změně: o našem strachu z ní, o naší touze po ní a o tom, jak v ní nakonec můžeme najít naději.

Me and Mine
A novel about family, scarcity, and what it means to sell out as the world ends. The world hasn’t quite ended, but it’s getting there. Me and Mine imagines a not-so-distant future on the pre-apocalyptic shores of Lake Michigan. The West has dried up, the watershed has been contaminated, and water scarcity has driven most of the population inward from the coasts. Here, real estate interests run rampant and the possibility of snagging a house close enough to the Great Lakes to get fresh water has realigned global financial interests. And, as always, the working class is being pushed aside to make way for white and wealthy newcomers. Amidst the chaos, three brothers try to navigate this swiftly changing landscape. As one seeks influence in politics, the younger two are drawn into the dangerous, shadowy world of private security and militias. In the precarious new world that these three brothers navigate, J. M. Holmes offers a grim yet familiar future in which scarcity fuels resentment, resentment sparks extremism, and extremism ignites around the racial tensions of our present.
