Az álom
„Ebből a könyvből kiderül, hogyan vált hétszer is valóra az álmom. De azt is elmesélem, hányszor bizonyult elérhetetlennek számomra. A futball sok mindenben hasonlít az élet más területeihez: az ember a legtöbbször nem győz. Remélem, elég szerény vagyok ahhoz, hogy megértsem, időnként a vereségből lehet a legtöbbet tanulni. Amikor viszont az ember mindenkit legyőz, az az érzés semmihez sem hasonlítható.” Carlo Ancelotti mind az öt európai topligában nyert bajnoki címet, olyan csapatoknál dolgozott, mint az AC Milan, a Juventus, a Paris Saint-Germain, a Bayern München, a Chelsea és a Real Madrid. De nemcsak ez teszi őt különlegessé kortársai között, hanem az is, hogy minden rekordot megdöntött a Bajnokok Ligájában: hétszer emelhette a magasba a trófeát, kétszer játékosként, ötször pedig edzőként. Az álom című kötetből kiderül, miért rajong annyira Carlo a világ legértékesebb klubtrófeájáért, és az is, mi kell ahhoz, hogy valaki ennyire sikeres legyen a nemzetközi porondon. Gyermekkori álmáról, a nagy meccsekről, klasszis játékosokról és az egyes szezonok kulcspillanatairól egyaránt mesél az olasz mester, aki betekintést enged a napi munkába, és belülről mutatja meg nekünk a Bajnokok Ligája csodáját.
Vocal Break
A dazzlingly original reassessment of the power and plurality of women's singing voices by the critically acclaimed author of Art Monsters and Scaffolding
'It took me ten years to go from shy young girl to punk rocker, if I'd had this book I'd have got there much quicker' Viv Albertine
For millennia, women's raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death.
In Vocal Break, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices - and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing.
A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women's voices, including Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyoncé, FKA Twigs and Billie Eilish.
Reflecting on what makes women's singing so powerful - to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it - Vocal Break is a joyous call to arms, a siren call:
Girls to the front: NOW.

Fieldwork as a Sex Object
I mute the audio. I replay the video four times.
It is not me. It is my fucking face.
Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a communist on Twitter (her profile omits a stint on Big Brother and a billionaire daddy running the show at the High Court of Delhi).
Then reality hits: a deepfake porno of her forwarded around by WhatsApp aunties goes viral. On her birthday, Amy wakes to a stoning in the digital town square that could cancel the likes of Kim Kardashian.
Her executioners? A cartel of unhinged virgins styling themselves after V for Vendetta - except these keyboard warriors are on a ruthless crusade to wipe out desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again.
A muscular, monumental work of internet literature in which the online turns offline turns bloody, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you: what are you prepared to risk for what you claim to believe?
Stronger Than You Think
In a world rocked by pandemics, climate change, and political unrest, resilience has never been more essential.
In this groundbreaking book, trauma researcher, survivor, and professor Sherry Hamby reveals the truth about resilience: struggling with trauma doesn't mean we lack it. Instead, it's a sign that we're facing life's challenges head-on. What we need to know is how to bounce back and prepare better for future hardships.
Drawing on years of research and lived experience, Hamby introduces the concept of the "resilience equation": by increasing our 'strengths dosage', we can offset our 'trauma dosage'. In other words, adding more positive experiences can help us heal from the negative ones. It's possible to thrive, even after significant trauma, and piece together a meaningful, fulfilled life.
This book empowers you with three core steps to cultivate resilience:
1. Find connection - through something larger than yourself
2. Master your emotions and behaviours - learn how to manage your impulses
3. Leverage your resources - tap into the support of family, friends, and community
From practices like mindfulness and forest bathing to deeper calls for social justice and activism, Stronger Than You Think equips you with tools to strengthen your own resilience and uplift others in the process. No matter what life throws your way, you'll learn how to face it with strength, hope, and purpose.
