En ten tulipán
Detektívny román En ten tulipán z roku 1955 vychádza prvý raz v slovenskom preklade, a hoci patrí k menej známym dielam Agathy Christie, milovníci tvorby legendárnej autorky si aj tentoraz prídu na svoje. Popri famóznom Herculovi Poirotovi v nej vystupuje aj detektívova výkonná, takmer dokonalá sekretárka slečna Lemonová.
A je to práve slečna Lemonová, kto upozorní Hercula Poirota na čudné udalosti v študentskom penzióne Tulipán na Hickory Road, ktorý spravuje jej sestra pani Hubbardová. Za normálnych okolností by drobné krádeže sotva vzbudili záujem slávneho detektíva. Keď si však prečíta bizarný zoznam ukradnutých a zničených vecí - vrátane stetoskopu, pudrenky, starých nohavíc, bonboniéry, rozstrihaného ruksaka a diamantového prsteňa, ktorý sa neskôr našiel v polievke -, musí blahoželať pani Hubbardovej k „jedinečnému a úžasnému rébusu“. Zoznam nedáva vôbec žiadny zmysel, no Poirotovi neschádza z mysle: Ak sú to len obyčajné krádeže a páchateľom je neškodný kleptoman, prečo sú potom obyvatelia penziónu takí vystrašení?

Az én hibám
Nicholas Leisternek lehetetlen ellenállni. Kék szem, éjfekete haj, magas termet... minden stimmel, kivéve, hogy ő Noah új mostohatestvére, és megtestesíti mindazt, amitől a lány egész életében menekült. És lassanként az is kiderül, hogy kettős életet él, és súlyos titkot rejteget milliomos apja elől...

China
'Bravo; this is a big, complex and utterly involving portrait of 19th-century China' THE TIMES
The internationally bestselling author portrays the great clash of East and West in his new epic: China
China in the nineteenth century: a proud and ancient empire forbidden to foreigners. The West desires Chinese tea above all other things but lacks the silver to buy it. Instead, western adventurers resort to smuggling opium in exchange.
The Qing Emperor will not allow his people to sink into addiction. Viceroy Lin is sent to the epicentre of the opium trade, Canton, to stop it. The Opium Wars begin - heralding a period of bloody military defeats, reparations, and one-sided treaties which will become known as the Century of Humiliation.
From Hong Kong to Beijing to the Great Wall, from the exotic wonders of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City, to squalid village huts, the dramatic struggle rages across the Celestial Kingdom. This is the story of the Chinese people, high and low, and the Westerners who came to exploit the riches of their ancient land and culture.
We meet a young village wife struggling with the rigid traditions of her people, Manchu empresses and warriors, powerful eunuchs, fanatical Taiping and Boxer Rebels, savvy Chinese pirates, artists, concubines, scoundrels and heroes, well-intentioned missionaries and the rapacious merchants, diplomats and soldiers of the West. Fortunes will rise and fall, loves will be gained and lost.
This is an unforgettable tale told from both sides of the divide. The clash of worldviews, of culture and heritage, is shown in a kaleidoscope of jaw-dropping set pieces. China is a feat of the imagination that will enthral, instruct and excite, and show us how things once were, and how the turmoil of the nineteenth century led to modern China's revolution and rebirth.
A Bridgerton család 1: A herceg és én (filmes borítóval)
A regény alapján készült sorozat 2020 decemberétől látható a Netflixen.
Létezik-e nagyobb kihívás a londoni előkelő társaság ambiciózus anyái számára, mint egy nőtlen herceg, akihez lányukat örömest feleségül adnák?
Minden jel arra mutat, hogy Simon Basset meg fogja kérni legjobb barátja húga, a bájos és okos Daphne Bridgerton kezét. Ami csak kettejük titka: házasságról szó sincs, csak így kívánják Simontól távol tartani a lányaikat férjhez adni kívánó, igen aktív társasági hölgyeket. Daphne pedig, mivel hercegi udvarló találta kívánatosnak, később alkalmas kérőket kaphat.
Ám miközben Daphne sorra keringőzi Simonnal a bálokat, igen nehéz arra gondolnia, hogy az egész csak színlelés. A férfi ravaszkás mosolya talán, de tekintete felragyogása bizonyosan azt a hatást éri el, hogy Daphne beleszeret a szép hercegbe. Ez már egyáltalán nem színlelés. A lány a lehetetlennel próbálkozik: megpróbálja meggyőzni a gyönyörű szoknyavadászt, hogy okos kis tervüket némiképp módosítaniuk kell, és semmi nem olyan jó, mint szerelmesnek lenni...

China Adorned
Aesthetic influences drawn from China have long resonated throughout Western art, design and thought. China Adorned challenges the monolithic idea of 'Chinese' culture and fashion, turning the lens on the rich clothing traditions of ethnic minority groups.
Drawing on three decades of research by cultural anthropologist Professor Deng Qiyao, the book documents and demystifies the customs, rituals and mythology of more than 30 minorities through their clothing and accessories. Deng's never-before-published archival photos sit alongside stunning contemporary imagery by photographer Cat Vinton that showcases fabrics, jewellery and the surrounding landscapes, helping readers to better understand the deep connections between people, place, ritual and adornment. Contributor essays delve further into the textiles and methods, the role of the artisan, the extraordinary resilience of material culture and the importance of preserving these traditions for generations to come.

China and Russia
A compelling, expansive history of the relationship between China and Russia, from the seventeenth century to the present.
Russia and China, the largest and most populous countries in the world, respectively, have maintained a delicate relationship for four centuries. In addition to a four-thousand-kilometer border, they have periodically shared a common outlook on political and economic affairs. But they are, in essence, profoundly different polities and cultures, and their intermittent alliances have proven difficult and at times even volatile.
Philip Snow provides a full account of the relationship between these two global giants. Looking at politics, religion, economics, and culture, Snow uncovers the deep roots of the two nations’ alignment. We see the shifts in the balance of power, from the wealth and strength of early Qing China to the Tsarist and Soviet ascendancies, and episodes of intense conflict followed by harmony. He looks too at the experiences and opinions of ordinary people, which often vastly differed from those of their governments, and considers how long the countries’ current amicable relationship might endure.
