Trading in the Zone (2. vydání)
Býčí trh v akciích znamenal i býčí trh publikací, zabývajících se tím, jak na akciích vydělat. Tradingová scéna byla zahlcena nápady - některé byly dobré a jiné špatné, některé byly originální a jiné pouze vykrádaly předchozí práce. Občas se ale stane, že určitý spisovatel přijde s něčím, co ho vydělí z davu, s něčím výjimečným. Jedním z takových spisovatelů je Mark Douglas. Jeho kniha Trading in the Zone představuje roky výzkumu a rozjímání - celoživotní dílo, které je pro nás, profesionální obchodníky, klenotem. Trading in the Zone je hloubkovou studií výzev, kterým se musíme postavit, rozhodneme-li se začít s obchodováním.
Pro začátečníka představuje jedinou výzvu, zjistit, jak vydělat peníze. Jakmile takový začátečník zjistí, že tipy, rady brokerů a další způsoby, jak ospravedlnit nákup či prodej nefungují vždycky, pochopí, že si buď musí koupit nějakou obchodní strategii, nebo ji sám vyvinout. Potom už by snad obchodování mělo být jednoduché, ne? Stačí se držet pravidel a peníze vám samy spadnou do klína. V tomto bodě, ne-li dříve, začátečník zjistí, že obchodování může být velmi snadno extrémně frustrující. Tato zkušenost vede k tomu, že statisticky 95% obchodníků přijde o všechny peníze během prvního roku obchodování. S akciemi je to podobné - analytici poukazují na to, že většina obchodníků s akciemi selhává i v provedení jednoduchého scénáře nakoupení a podržení investice.
Proč se lidem, kteří jsou jinak extrémně úspěšní, nedaří, co se týče obchodu? Rodí se snad člověk obchodníkem? Mark Douglas říká, že ne. Nezbytné je podle něj získat obchodnickou mysl. Zní to jednoduše, ale ve skutečnosti je obchodnická mysl zcela odlišná od všeho, s čím se setkáváme v běžném životě. A právě tato kniha vás naučí obchodnickou mysl vytrénovat.
A Shadow in the Ember - Árnyék a parázsban (Hús és tűz 1.)
Ejtsd szerelembe, válj a gyenge pontjává, végezz vele... Seraphena Mierel az ősi lények fátylába burkolva született, a Sors ígérte Szűzként, ezért a jövője sosem volt az övé: születése előtt kiválasztották, hogy alanya legyen egy kétségbeesett alkunak, amelyet őse kötött a népe megmentése érdekében.
Serának hátra kell hagynia az életét, és a Halál Ősi Lényének kell felajánlkoznia hitvesül. Ám Sera valódi sorsa egész Lazania legjobban őrzött titka: ő nem a jól védett Szűz, hanem egy bérgyilkos, akinek egyetlen küldetése van - és egyetlen célpontja: a Halál Ősi Lénye. Ha kudarcot vall, a királyságát lassú pusztulásra ítéli a Rothadás keze által.
Sera mindig is tudta, hogy ki ő. Kiválasztott. Hitves. Orgyilkos. Fegyver. Egy kísértet, aki sosem ölthetett saját formát, mégis vérben ázik. Egy szörnyeteg. Egészen addig, amíg ő el nem jön érte... Amíg a Halál Ősi Lényének sorsa össze nem fonódik az övével. És a férfi csábító érintése olyan szenvedélyt lobbant fel benne, amilyet soha nem élt még át, és amit nem is érezhetne iránta. De Serának sosem volt választása.

She encounters forbidden realms full of magic, trickery and curious creatures. In a thrilling race through a magical landscape, Ember Shadows must uncover the secret behind the fate cards in order to save her sister ...

Az utolsó fehér ember
"szembenézett önmagával a visszapillantó tükörben, a fehérség nyomait keresve, mert a fehérségnek ott kellett lennie valahol, talán az arckifejezésében, de nem látta a fehérséget, és minél jobban kereste, annál kevésbé tűnt fehér bőrűnek, mintha ez a keresés maga lett volna a fehérség ellentéte, ami még messzebbre üldözte a fehérséget, és Anders kétségbeesett és elbizonytalanodott ettől, mert olyan érzés volt, mintha nem tartozna ide, pedig itt született, a szentségit neki"
"Egy olyan világot vizionál, melyben a bőrszín már semmit nem jelent" - Südwestrundfunk."
Anders egy reggel megdöbbenve látja a tükörben, hogy fehér bőre mélybarnára sötétedett az éjszaka. Felfoghatatlan titkát először csak barátnőjével, Oonával osztja meg, lassan azonban egyre több emberről derül ki, hogy Andershez hasonlóan egyik napról a másikra sötét bőrűek lettek. A névtelen kisváros lakóin úrrá lesz a bizonytalanság. Egyesek a fennálló rend régóta fenyegető megbomlásaként értelmezik az eseményeket, és félnek, vajon elfogadja-e új külsejüket a közösség, mások minden előítéletüket feledve egyre közelebb kerülnek egymáshoz.
Az utolsó fehér ember lebilincselő regény arról, mire képes az ember szélsőséges helyzetekben, hogyan határozza meg a másokról és önmagunkról alkotott képünket az etnikai hovatartozás, és miként kerekedhetünk felül a fajgyűlöleten, a félelmen és az erőszakon. Költői és provokatív mű, amely olyan szerzők klasszikusait idézi meg, mint Franz Kafka, Albert Camus vagy José Saramago.
