The Seven Dials Mystery
A healthy young man dies in his sleep, despite the ringing of eight separate alarm clocks…
Gerry Wade had proved himself to be a champion sleeper; so the other house guests decided to play a practical joke on him. Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6.30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank had backfired with tragic consequences.
For Jimmy Thesiger in particular, the words ‘Seven Dials’ were to take on a new and chilling significance…
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
A searing satire set amid the murderous mayhem of Sri Lanka beset by civil war
Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida, war photographer, gambler and closet gay, has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira lake and he has no idea who killed him. At a time where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest.
But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to try and contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Ten years after his prizewinning novel Chinaman established him as one of Sri Lanka's foremost authors, Karunatilaka is back with a rip-roaring epic, full of mordant wit and disturbing truths.

Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
From the author of Daisy Jones & The Six in which a legendary film actress reflects on her relentless rise to the top and the risks she took, the loves she lost, and the long-held secrets the public could never imagine.
Aging and reclusive Hollywood movie icon Evelyn Hugo is finally ready to tell the truth about her glamorous and scandalous life. But when she chooses unknown magazine reporter Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique herself. Why her? Why now?
Monique is not exactly on top of the world. Her husband has left her, and her professional life is going nowhere. Regardless of why Evelyn has selected her to write her biography, Monique is determined to use this opportunity to jumpstart her career.
Summoned to Evelyn's luxurious apartment, Monique listens in fascination as the actress tells her story. From making her way to Los Angeles in the 1950s to her decision to leave show business in the '80s, and, of course, the seven husbands along the way, Evelyn unspools a tale of ruthless ambition, unexpected friendship, and a great forbidden love. Monique begins to feel a very real connection to the legendary star, but as Evelyn's story near its conclusion, it becomes clear that her life intersects with Monique's own in tragic and irreversible ways.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is a mesmerizing journey through the splendour of old Hollywood into the harsh realities of the present day as two women struggle with what it means and what it costs to face the truth.
Be Useful : Seven tools for life
The seven rules to follow to realize your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world's greatest bodybuilder. The world's highest paid movie star. The leader of the world's sixth largest economy.
That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold's stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back.
All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold's father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father's adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold's toolkit for a meaningful life.
Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike--some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there.
Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you -- you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

The Mystery Guest
A new mess.
A new mystery.
Molly the maid returns...
Molly Gray wears her Head Maid badge proudly for every shift at the Regency Grand Hotel, plumping pillows, sweeping up the guests’ secrets, silently restoring rooms to a state of perfection.
But when a renowned guest – a famous mystery writer – drops very dead in the grand tea room, Molly has an unusual clean-up on her hands.
As rumours and suspicion swirl in the hotel corridors, it’s clear there’s grime lurking beneath the gilt. And Molly knows that she alone holds the key to the mystery. But unlocking it means thinking about the past, about a dusty old house, and everything else she’s tidied away in her memory.
Because Molly knew the dead guest once upon a time – and she knows his secrets too...

Sedmero požehnání - Seven Blessings
Obrazová publikace Sedmero požehnání má být průzorem do světa, který je současnému člověku vzdálený a málo známý. Má mu poskytnout obraz komunity, která si střeží svůj poklad především ve svých srdcích, a který probleskuje i v přítomných černobílých fotografiích. Název knihy odkazuje k rituálu Sedmi požehnání (ševa berachot), která jsou recitována během židovského svatebního obřadu. Setkání tradičních Židů nejrůznějších směrů u hrobů významných učenců, rabínů a cadiků, o nichž vypráví doprovodné texty Daniela Soukupa, je totiž svého druhu mystickým zasnoubením, při němž se spojují duše tohoto světa se světem příštím. Každý ze sedmi rabínských járcajtů (výročí smrti) zachycených objektivem fotoaparátu Jindřicha Buxbauma je zároveň příběhem sedmi významných duchovních vůdců, kteří jsou pro židovské společenství trvalým požehnáním. Texty Daniela Soukupa si můžete přečíst v češtině i angličtině.
The photo book Seven Blessings is intended as a glimpse into a world which is quite distant and little known at present. It should provide a picture of a community, which guards its treasures primarily in the hearts of its members and which is allowed to shine out in these black and white photographs. The name of the book refers to the ritual of the Seven Blessings (sheva brachot), which are recited during the Jewish wedding ceremony. Meetings of traditional Jews of various streams at the graves of renowned scholars, rabbis and tsaddiks, which is the theme of the accompanying texts by Daniel Soukup, are a kind of mystical engagement, in which the souls of this world are linked with the world to come. The seven listed rabbinic yahrzeits (anniversaries of deaths), depicted with an objective camera by Jindřich Buxbaum, are also the stories of seven celebrated spiritual leaders who amount to a permanent blessing for the Jewish community.
The Malevolent Seven
From the bestselling author of THE GREATCOATS: seven war mages with dark pasts and special powers must come together to fight an unknown enemy - but the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine . . . and someone's setting the seven up for a fall. Picture a wizard. Go ahead, close your eyes.
There he is, see? Skinny old guy with a long straggly beard. No doubt he's wearing iridescent silk robes that couldn't protect his frail body from a light breeze. The hat's a must, too, right? Big, floppy thing, covered in esoteric symbols that would instantly show every other mage where this gets his magic? Wouldn't want a simple steel helmet or something that might, you know, protect the part of him most needed for conjuring magical forces from being bashed in with a mace (or pretty much any household object).
Yep. Behold the mighty wizard. Now open your eyes and let me show you what a real war mage looks like . . . but be warned: you're probably not going to like it, because we're violent, angry, dangerously broken people who sell our skills to the highest bidder and be damned to any moral or ethical considerations.
At least, until such irritating concepts as friendship and the end of the world get in the way. My name is Cade Ombra, and though I currently make my living as a mercenary wonderist, I used to have a far more noble-sounding job title - until I discovered the people I worked for weren't quite as noble as I'd believed. Now I'm on the run and my only friend, a homicidal thunder mage, has invited me to join him on a suicide mission against the seven deadliest mages on the continent.
Time to recruit some very bad people to help us on this job . . .

The Seven Year Slip
Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it.
Six months ago, Clementine West had the worst day of her life. So, she came up with a plan to keep her heart safe: stay busy, work hard, take no risks. And it's been working.
That is until one day she finds a strange man standing in her kitchen. A man with kind eyes, a crooked smile, and a recipe for the perfect lemon meringue pie. The kind of man that, before everything, she could have fallen for . . .
He's perfect but for one thing: he lives in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact.
This should be impossible, but Clementine used to love impossible things. And maybe, just maybe, she will again. After all, love is never a matter of time - but a matter of timing.
PONS Summer Camp Mystery
Miért kétnyelvű? Mit jelent az, hogy kétnyelvű? Kell-e segítség az olvasásához? Ilyen és ehhez hasonló kérdések merülhetnek fel a szülőben, amikor támogatná gyermeke nyelvtanulását. Vajon jól választ-e?
Ha tizenéves gyermeked számára kerestél az önálló nyelvtanuláshoz lebilincselően érdekfeszítő olvasmányt, akkor jól döntöttél. Olvasmányaink főhősei olyan gyerekek, akik valamilyen okból rákényszerülnek az angol nyelv használatára, ennek során sok mindent tanulnak, de nehézségekkel is meg kell küzdeniük.
Az életkornak megfelelő, izgalmas cselekményt - a főszereplők szemszögéből - magyarul meséljük el. Ha azonban a szereplők angol gyerekekkel beszélgetnek, természetesen angolul kell megszólalniuk. A párbeszédek ezért angolul folynak. A kétnyelvűséggel gyermekedet a saját szintjén avatjuk be az olvasásba. A sikerélmények növelik a motivációját, és így az új szavak és szófordulatok tanulása is sokkal könnyebb lesz. Az olvasásban sem lesz fennakadás, a szövegben ugyanis kiemeltük a legfontosabb angol szavakat és kifejezéseket, ezek fordítása pedig az oldal alján található.
Ezekről az érvekről gyermeked persze mit sem tud. Ő egyszerűen csak élvezi az olvasmányt, és mellesleg arra is rájön, hogy az angol nyelv nem is olyan nehéz!
