Lélekbalzsam
Selymes érintés
Franciaország, 1862
Lola Tourier-t mindenki igazi csodabogárnak tartja, amiért egyedülálló nőként vállalkozásának és kenőcseinek él. Manufaktúrájában nem találni olyan krémet, amely ne gyógyítaná a legtöbb bőrbetegséget, vagy ne varázsolná üdévé a hölgyek arcát.
Egy nap a nagyvárosi madame Breuton akkora megrendeléssel látja el, amely fellendíthetné az üzletet és kihúzhatná apjától örökölt adósságából. Azonban ennyi munkával egyedül nem bír. A kényszer ráveszi a fiatal nőt, hogy a börtönviselt, titokzatos és mogorva Anthonyt alkalmazza segédjeként. Lola kedvessége és figyelmessége balzsamként hat a férfi szívére, így egyre közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz. Amikor viszont fény derül a férfi múltjára, Lolának szembe kell néznie a külvilág megvetésével. Birtoka és manufaktúrája veszélybe kerül. A nőnek pedig most saját magának kell gyógyírt találnia, hogy legyen ereje kiállni a szerelméért és mindazért, amiért eddig oly keményen dolgozott. Vajon elég erős, hogy szembeszálljon a kor előítéletekkel teli társadalmával, vagy enged a nyomásnak? Képes lesz választani a szerelem és az álmai közt, ha az élet csak az egyiket adhatja meg neki?
Letty Straub romantikus történelmi regénye Dél-Franciaország festői tájaira kalauzol el bennünket. És lelkünk lankái se maradnak felfedezetlenek.

Éldekorált kiadás
Légy üdvözölve a királyságukban...
Nem gondoltam, hogy még egyszer beteszem a lábam Royal Manorba. Most, négy évvel később mégis itt vagyok… Visszatértem, hogy befejezzem az utolsó évemet a Royal Hearts Akadémián, és kénytelen leszek szembenézni Jace Covingtonnal.
Az első barátommal. Az első szerelmemmel. Az első csókommal.
A fiúval, akit magam mögött hagytam.
Csakhogy ő már nem ugyanaz a srác, akinek odaadtam a szívemet. Ez az új Jace épp annyira kegyetlen, mint amennyire gyönyörű, ráadásul elhatározta, hogy pokollá teszi az életemet nagyravágyó családja többi tagjával és a zsarnokokból álló bandájával együtt. Azt várják tőlem, hogy a lábuk nyomát is megcsókoljam, mint mindenki más, de én inkább ennék sarat, mint hogy megtegyem.
Ha Jace Convigton el akar kergetni, jobban kell próbálkoznia. Mert sosem voltam az a fajta lány, aki a szabályok szerint játszik.

The Buried City
A vast area of Pompeii is being excavated for the first time, revealing astonishing insights into how people really lived. In this revelatory new history, Director of Pompeii Gabriel Zuchtriegel shares the untold stories that are at last emerging.
Pompeii is a world frozen in time. There are unmade beds, dishes left drying, tools abandoned by workmen, bodies embracing with love and fear. And alongside the remnants of everyday life, there are captivating works of art: lifelike portraits, exquisite frescos and mosaics, and the extraordinary sculpture of a sleeping boy, curled up under a blanket that's too small.
The Buried City reconstructs the catastrophe that destroyed Pompeii on 24 August 79 CE, but it also offers a behind-the-scenes tour of the city as it was before: who lived here, what mattered to them, and what happened in their final hours. It offers us a vivid sense of Pompeii's continuing relevance, and proves that ancient history is much closer to us than we think.

Mona Acts Out
An exuberant, darkly humorous novel by the US National Book Award-shortlisted author of Fieldwork Celebrated stage actress Mona Zahid wakes up on the morning of Thanksgiving to the clamour of guests packed into her Manhattan apartment and to a wave of dread: her in-laws are lurking on the other side of the bedroom door; she has been fighting with her husband; and in just a few weeks she will begin rehearsals to play Shakespeare’s Cleopatra, the most challenging role of her career. On an impulse, and pretending she needs to do some last-minute shopping, Mona leaves her family and heads out into the city to visit her estranged mentor, Milton Katz, the legendary director who has been forced out of the theatre company he founded amid accusations of sexual misconduct. Mona’s escape turns into an overnight adventure that brings her face-to-face with her past, with her creative power and its limitations, and ultimately, with all the people she has ever loved. At once funny and sad and wise, Mona Acts Out is a deeply moving novel about acting and telling the truth, about how we all play roles to negotiate our lives, and how the great roles teach us how to live.

Hozsánna néked, Leibowitz!
Évszázadokkal azután, hogy az emberiség a Tűzözön során szinte nyomtalanul eltűnt a Föld színéről, a nemzedékről nemzedékre átörökített tudás kevés maradékát a Szent Leibowitz-rend tagjai őrzik a utahi sivatag mélyén. Az egyik fiatal szerzetesük egy nap csodaszámba menő felfedezést tesz: egy radioaktivitás-biztos óvóhelyen rábukkan a rend alapítójának különböző feljegyzéseire és tervrajzaira, amelyeket aztán szent ereklyékként kezdenek kezelni. Lehetséges, hogy ezek az áldott iratok hozzásegíthetik az emberiséget saját megváltásához?

A Hozsánna néked, Leibowitz! idén átdolgozott fordításban jelenik meg.

Heatwave
BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK'A teeming chronicle of those scorching months. Superbly researched.' THE TIMES'Scorching, animated and essential reading. Superb.' THE MAIL ON SUNDAY'Grippingly captures the three months that shook Britain's cultural landscape' PAULINE BLACK'Scorching, seething and scintillating, Heatwave conjures a slow-burning collage of a country on the brink. I lived through those cruel months, and Williams recreates them with intense skill' SIMON GARFIELD'An absolute joy' PETE PAPHIDES'Engrossing...powerful...goes way beyond nostalgia' DAVID KYNASTONWith temperatures soaring to 35oC, severe water shortages and a sunburned population queuing at the standpipes, the summer of 1976 was always remembered as Britain's hottest. But the wave that hit the UK that year was also cultural and political, with upheaval on the streets, in parliament, on the cricket pitch and on the radios and TV sets of a nation at a crossroads. Before this blistering summer, Britain seemed stuck in the post-war era, a country where people were all in it together - as long as you were white, male and straight. In July, Tom Robinson writes a song called Glad to be Gay, and by August bank holiday, Black youth are making the police run for their lives in the almighty riot at the Notting Hill Carnival. But with the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson suddenly quitting, the pound sinking and the economy tanking, a restless immigrant population and increasing dissatisfaction in the old world order, the weather seemed to boil up the country to the point where the lid blows off. Weaving a rich tapestry of the news stories of the year, with social commentary and dozens of first-person interviews with those that were there at the time, Williams's reappraisal of the summer of '76 is an evocative, sometimes nostalgic but always an unflinching read. Heatwave takes us back to relive the events of that summer and asks - have we really moved on as much as we would have liked?

A four-yearly chance for the world's greatest footballers to realise their ultimate dream. A month-long media spectacle that's watched by billions. The World Cup has changed beyond recognition since the early days, when the players were semi-pros and the trophy went missing. Today, it's a corporate-led bonanza of dark money and dubious ethics. Simon Kuper, bestselling author of Barça, reflects on every tournament since Italia 90 to reveal a captivating portrait of sport in a globalised world. Entertaining and compelling, World Cup Fever is the definitive story of football's greatest drama, and of how the tournament can touch - and even change - our lives.

Blitz
‘An exceptional piece of work; powerful, vivid and compelling’ Rowland White, author of Vulcan 607The Second World War was not only fought in the skies above Europe or on distant beaches. Between 1939 and 1945, Hitler’s aerial onslaught crashed into lives across the UK night after night, killing more than 60,000 civilians and leaving millions homeless. May 2026 marks the 85th anniversary of the end of the Night Blitz. But the aerial assault on Britain did not stop in May 1941. For too long, ‘The Blitz’ – from the German ‘Blitzkrieg’ or lightning war – has been framed as a few desperate months from September 1940 that mainly affected London. In reality, the scope of the attack on the home front was far more widespread, and far more devastating. Now, John Nichol tells this supposedly familiar narrative – one of the most important events in British history – afresh. Beginning with a search to understand his mother’s experiences of the blitz on Tyneside – drawing on fragments of memory and the unanswered questions she left behind – Nichol ranges outward to reveal a truly national history. From Dover to Glasgow, Cardiff to Manchester, he uncovers astonishing accounts of catastrophe and resilience. Of ‘ordinary’ men, women and children catapulted into harm’s way. Of heroic firefighters battling infernos, the unflinching bravery required to defuse unexploded bombs, families wiped out in an instant, communities left bereft by a single blast. Using interviews with survivors, official records and eyewitness testimonies, Nichol gives voice to the unsung heroes who endured explosions, fire and fear, but found the courage to run towards danger. He brings the story up to date by speaking to people involved in similar situations: mass casualty events, the deadly blaze at Grenfell Tower, bomb disposal in modern warfare and individual acts of astonishing bravery. And as new military threats emerge, Nichol asks whether the country still has such resilience today. At once gripping and compassionate, BLITZ is the definitive account of a nationwide struggle that shaped the course of the war and the spirit of a generation. The book includes maps, colour endpapers, and two plate sections with 38 photos and archival images. ‘The story of a whole nation as only Nichol can write, BLITZ is a wonderful book perfectly anchored in the human experience’ Dr Robert Lyman MBE FRHistS, co-author of Victory to Defeat: The British Army 1918–40‘A truly powerful and engaging narrative. The way Nichol weaves the story of the Blitz with more recent accounts makes for an excellent read’ Andy Saunders, military historian and author‘An important book which takes the myth of the storybook Blitz Spirit and redefines it. Absolutely fantastic’ Professor Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles: Searching for Hope After Disaster
