Wings to Fly: Frida Kahlo
'I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.'
For many she represents triumph over suffering, but to Frida Kahlo, life, body and art were entirely intertwined.
Kahlo – friend, lover, teacher, patient, survivor, revolutionary – endured polio and scoliosis as a child, and then, at the age of 18, survived a catastrophic bus accident. Over the next 19 years she was to undergo over thirty surgeries. Yet her work, her magical, jewel-coloured paintings, her heartfelt, visceral art, continued to flow.
Using new translations from her diary, letters and interviews, Wings to Fly juxtaposes Kahlo’s paintings with her writings, and illuminates links between the personal and universal, the physical and imaginative, the pain and resolve – to truly inspire.
'Feet what do I need them for, if I have wings to fly?'

Marco Polo - Berlin
Szeretnél három operaház közül választani, parkban szóló zenére spontán táncra perdülni, angolul rendelni vietnami kávét vagy Trabantba ülni a Reichstag előtt? Akkor irány Berlin! A Marco Polo sorozat legújabb kötete Németország nemzetközi és sokoldalú fővárosába kalauzol el. A Best of... zöld és méltányos (pl. Zéró hulladék), olcsó (pl. A fal nyomában), gyerekeknek való (pl. Buli a múzeumban) és tipikus ajánlatok (pl. Quadriga tizenkét oszlopon) után megismertet a könyv a város sajátosságaival, majd az egyes negyedekkel: Mitte történelemmel terhes, a császári palotától a sztálini sugárútig. Tiergarten a kormányzati negyed, bevásárlóutcák és néhány kocogóval. Prenzlauer Berg/Friedrichshainban menő berliniek élnek a falmaradványok árnyékában. Kreuzbergben a punk és a polgári lét találkozik zsidó hagyományok és török hétköznapok között. Charlottenburg/Wilmersdorf a notórius bevásárlók, az ínyencek, a kultúra iránt érdeklődők és a sportkedvelők negyede. A sorozatra jellemző élménytúrák Berlinbe végigvisznek az egykori fal mentén, történelmi sétára hívnak Spandauba, kicsábítanak biciklivel a zöldbe és hajózásra invitálnak a cityn keresztül. Fedezd fel Marco Polóval a nagy múltú, modern és dinamikus Berlint!
Mum Of Two: Love, Loss and My Life on Towie
"I am a mum of two beautiful daughters, Larose and Lorena. "My eldest, Larose, is the light of my life. She is so like I was as a child and with her big brown eyes, the double of her father too. And she loves to be the centre of attention... just like me. "But my youngest, Lorena, is harder to picture. I was able to hold her as a baby and see her tiny face, but I don't know what the colour of her eyes would be now or who she would look like today. I've never heard the sound of her laugh, or her cry."In Mum of Two, Lauren Goodger shares the story of losing her daughter, recounting the unimaginable, as she revisits navigating the hardest thing any parent could ever experience. This moving book explores not only the event itself, but the way in which the people around her responded, and how their actions drove her to become the strongest version of herself. Lauren recounts this life-altering tragedy from the moment the midwife couldn't find a heartbeat through to the most difficult days, months and years of her life that followed in its wake. In the aftermath of the worst thing that could happen to any mother, she realises none of those books, and none of those Instagram or TikTok videos, will tell you about what will happen if your baby doesn't make it. The reality is that you find out that no one will ever want to talk about it, or even talk to you, because no one knows what to say. Losing your baby doesn't turn off biology, your boobs still leak milk and you still bleed for days on end. You still have sleepless nights but it's your cries that keep you up, not your baby's. You might be terrified, like Lauren, of having that tiny wicker casket in your house and not knowing where to put it. Mum of Two is an exploration of motherhood, loss, and grief - but also of immense inner- strength, courage, and resilience.

The Script of the Stones
The Script of the Stones follows a single half-mile clifftop walk on the Gower Peninsula in South Wales - one the author has been making his whole life. It takes fifteen minutes, if you keep moving. But one day Francis Gooding decides to stop and look down. What unfolds is a rare act of attention: to limestone laid down in tropical seas 350 million years ago, to the orchids and gorse and banded snails that have claimed the cliff for their own, to the rocks and caves that hold the bones of mammoths, bears and one ochre-stained man who slept here for thirty thousand years. But the cliff also holds something else: the deep, tangled roots of human history - imperial violence, ecological destruction - rising through the red earth like the old mole Shakespeare knew, unstoppable, asking to be acknowledged. A book about grief and deep time, about what it means to belong to a place and what it costs to pay attention, The Script of the Stones is nature writing of a rare and searching kind. An elegy, a field guide, a ghost story - and underneath it all, a love letter to one small patch of the world.
