A bosszú Pradát visel - Az ördög visszatér
AZ ÖRDÖG PRADÁT VISEL FOLYTATÁSA!
VISSZAJÖTT...
ÉS ÖRDÖGIBB, MINT VALAHA...
Amióta otthagyta a Runway magazinnál az állását, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák", Andyvel igazán jól bánt az élet. Jelenleg, tíz év elteltével az esküvőjére készül, és a saját, sikeres magazinját szerkeszti.
De akkor miért nem bír aludni az esküvő előtti éjszakán? Csak ideges lenne, vagy komoly kételyei vannak? És miért kell örökösen a volt főnökére, Mirandára - vagyis az Ördögre - gondolnia?
Nagyon úgy tűnik, hogy Andy erőfeszítései, amelyekkel az új áloméletet építgette magának, egyenesen odavezették az Ördög útjába, aki bosszúra szomjazik...
MERT A VISSZAVÁGÓ SOSE MEGY KI A DIVATBÓL!
Aký krásny obrázok
Príbeh o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť.
Andrea má štyri a pol roka, keď ju jej otec David po prvýkrát kúpe. Hoci je ešte veľmi malá, cíti, že na spôsobe, akým sa jej dotýka, je niečo nesprávne. Keď ich v kúpeľni prichytí matka Marlene, zrúti sa na zem a po prebudení zistí, že oslepla. Jej hysterická slepota vyvolaná šokom trvá len niekoľko týždňov. Vedomá slepota voči pravde však celé desaťročia.
Andrea vyrastá v tieni nevypovedaného, vyštuduje ošetrovateľstvo a neskôr právo, vybuduje si úspešnú kariéru a naučí sa prežívať vo svete zmarených ilúzií. No vo veku tridsaťtri rokov spustí jeden nechcený dotyk v preplnenom metre lavínu spomienok, ktoré roky držala pod zámkom.
Aký krásny obrázok je silná a bolestivo úprimná memoárová výpoveď o zrade, ktorú rodina odmietla vidieť, a o dlhom, náročnom procese uzdravenia. Vhodná pre fanúšikov bestsellerov Som rada, že mama zomrela (Jennette McCurdy) a Sklený zámok (Jeannette Wallsová).

We Need to Tax Billionaires
Why do billionaires pay less tax than you?
Billionaires often pay a lower income tax rate than nurses, teachers and almost everyone else - sometimes close to zero. This isn't tax evasion, it's the system.
In this explosive manifesto, Gabriel Zucman - the economist revolutionising the study of inequality - reveals how the ultra-rich dodge billions using havens, loopholes and political influence, while public services are breaking.
Until we understand the hidden rules that protect extreme wealth, inequality will keep rising and democracy will keep losing. This game-changing book finally shows us how making the ultra-rich pay their fair share is possible, and why now is the moment.

Az ördög Pradát visel
Andrea Sachs friss diplomásként olyan állást kap, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák". A Runway divatlap főszerkesztője, Miranda Priestly asszisztenseként egy számára teljesen új világban találja magát, ahol csakis Pradát, Versacét és Armanit hordanak. A nők elképesztően ápoltak és tűsarkakon tipegnek, a férfiak pedig izmosak és elbűvölők. De Miranda mindnyájukat képes hisztérikus kisgyermekké változtatni.
Andrea megpróbál alkalmazkodni és megfelelni. Zokszó nélkül és legjobb tudása szerint teljesíti Miranda minden óhaját. Megszerzi a még meg sem jelent legújabb Harry Potter regényt, és különgéppel elküldi Párizsba, hogy Miranda lányai elsőként olvashassák. Felkutatja a közelebbről meg nem nevezett régiségkereskedést Manhattanben, ahol Miranda látott egy jópofa tálalót. Pontosan azon a hőmérsékleten tálalja Miranda ebédjét az irodában, ahogy a főnökasszony megköveteli. És szinte éjjel-nappal csörög a telefonja, mert Mirandának minden percben újabb és újabb lehetetlen kívánsága támad.
De Andrea mindent elvisel, mert egyetlen cél lebeg a szeme előtt: ha kibír egy évet Miranda mellett, az ő ajánlásával utána akármelyik szabadon választott hetilapnál vezető beosztásban dolgozhat. Ám egy idő után Andrea kezd rádöbbenni, hogy a munka, ,,amelyért lányok milliói az életüket is odaadnák", őt akár meg is ölheti.

John of John
Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry home to the island of Harris to find that not much has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal resumes his old life, caught between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his Glaswegian grandmother Ella, who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for decades.
While Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As the seasons pass, everything is poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly entangled.
John of John is the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. It confirms Douglas Stuart as one of the great British writers at work today.

A Short Stay in Hell
A man is cast by an unfamiliar God into a vast, incomprehensible Hell - a labyrinth library of books containing the stories of every life ever lived.
His only way out is to find the single book that tells his own story. But along the seemingly infinite shelves lies every possible combination of letters. Trapped within this maze of meaninglessness, the absurdity of existence becomes impossible to ignore.
A life-changing, existential novella, Steven L. Peck's modern classic explores a subversive vision of eternity, taking the reader on a journey through the afterlife of a world where everything everyone believed in turns out to be wrong.
The Elements
From bestselling author John Boyne comes a gripping and profound exploration of responsibility, guilt, blame, trauma and our capacity for redemption.
The Elements is a stunning kaleidoscope of storytelling, in which four interconnected lives, each representing a different perspective on crime from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator, and the victim, combine to form one transformative narrative.
Boyne's most ambitious work yet, The Elements is both an engrossing drama and a moving examination of why and how we allow crime to occur. In masterful, spellbinding prose, he navigates this complex subject with extraordinary empathy and unflinching honesty, at every step challenging us to confront our own conceptions of guilt and innocence.

The Cheese Cure
‘A wonderful book.' Cathy Rentzenbrink ‘A remarkable tale’ The Spectator A giant wheel of Comte´ – a cheese full of delight, a mosaic of flavour – can sometimes become flat. Despite all that’s gone into making it and caring for it, its complexity mysteriously vanishes, its spark dies. Cheesemongers know that. That’s why they regularly test the cheeses: they insert a cheese iron deep into the wheel and extract a sample from its core. Sometimes they can cure it and sometimes they can’t. A highly successful BBC and Guardian Journalist, somehow Michael Finnerty's life had become flat. His psychological cheese iron told him he needed to make a change, and he becomes convinced his salvation lies in cheese. Michael becomes an apprentice cheesemonger at Borough Market, and is plunged into a world of intense physicality, extraordinary knowledge, and total geeky passion. From learning the cheese's personal nighttime riders – Castillon Frais needs to sit in its box underneath some waxed paper but its box needs to be kept in a plastic sheath, Comté sits unwrapped in a cool cupboard, and has a quick saline bath before bed – to learning intricate ways to wrap their different shapes; from being able to taste nuances between the cheeses, to slicing fingers, bruising toes, getting allergic reactions, and the simple dog-tiredness of being on your feet from the crack of dawn till night, Michael's new job is more demanding than he could ever have imagined – and he loves it. Then when Borough Market is subjected to a terrifying attack, Michael realises through cheese, he has found something even more powerful – community.

This is Also a Love Story
‘Deeply moving and necessary’ ANNE ENRIGHT ‘A must-read’ iPAPER ‘Original and heart-warming’ LINDSEY HILSUM ‘Remarkable … the perfect antidote to our times’ CHRISTINA LAMB From the Orwell Prize-winning author of My Fourth Time, We Drowned comes a powerful account of human resilience, capturing our capacity for love and connection against all odds. We live in an era defined by crisis – whether it be war and displacement, or climate collapse and rapidly widening inequality. Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she’s witnessed the love and care of everyday people. Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants. We meet a group of Syrian women searching tirelessly for their missing spouses and children, while launching a call for justice, and learn about letters from the bereaved to the dead, still being written over a decade after the tsunami that devastated Japan. In stories that crisscross the globe, from Uganda to Lebanon, Rwanda to Iraq, Hayden asks us: what if news was recounted through the actions people take for those they love? Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world. ‘Shows us that in the midst of war, around the most acute suffering, there is also tremendous heroism’ NATHAN THRALL, author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama ‘ Sally Hayden uncovers miracles. She may be one herself’ ALEX PERRY, author of Blood Will Flow ‘A beautifully penned tribute to what can keep us human in the face of catastrophe. Read this book to lighten your soul’ ANTONY LOEWENSTEIN, author of The Palestine Laboratory
