A roast – vagyis a celebek égetése, cikizése, kikarikírozása – az amerikai tévénéz?k számára már régóta kedvelt m?faj, és a Showder Klub humoristáinak k?sz?nhet?en tavaly óta már hazánkban sem teljesen ismeretlen. S?t, az internetes kommentel?k – még ha nem is tudnak m?fajteremt? viselkedésükr?l – már régóta részt vesznek ismert emberek roastolásában… K?nyv formájában azonban eddig még nem hódított teret magának a m?faj. A nagy Roast k?nyv els?dleges célja az olvasó megnevettetése, szórakoztatása, és semmiképpen sem a gy?l?lk?dési kedv kiszolgálása, gerjesztése. A k?tet szerz?i épp ezért nem vállalnak k?z?sséget a neten névtelenül vádaskodókkal, hanem arcukat, nevüket vállalva, az irónia, a humor eszk?zeivel mutatnak rá egyes személyek, karakterek, jelenségek, kulturális termékek hibáira, fonákságaira. Ez a k?nyv tehát azért született, hogy a bosszantót mulatságossá tegye, hogy a g?rbe elé még g?rbébb tükr?t tartson, és hogy kreatív és változatos módon vessen fel olyan kérdéseket, témákat, amelyek nap mint nap foglalkoztatják a k?z?nséget.

￥32.62
Considered by many to be Dickens' finest novel, "Great Expectations" traces the growth of the book's narrator, Philip Pirrip (Pip), from a boy of shallow dreams to a man with depth of character. From its famous dramatic opening on the bleak Kentish marshes, the story abounds with some of Dickens' most memorable characters. Among them are the kindly blacksmith Joe Gargery, the mysterious convict Abel Magwitch, the eccentric Miss Haversham and her beautiful ward Estella, Pip's good-hearted room-mate Herbert Pocket and the pompous Pumblechook. As Pip unravels the truth behind his own 'great expectations' in his quest to become a gentleman, the mysteries of the past and the convolutions of fate through a series of thrilling adventures serve to steer him towards maturity and his most important discovery of all — the truth about himself.

Hotel Bali

Guus Kuijer [ejtsd: kg?sz káüjer] holland gyermek- és ifjúsági író. Népszer?ségének titka, hogy éppolyan komolysággal és nyíltsággal fordul fiatalabb olvasóihoz, mintha feln?tteknek írna: nem kerüli el a kényes témákat, aktuális társadalmi kérdéseket, hanem ezeken keresztül elfogadásra tanít. 2012-ben elnyerte az Astrid Lindgren-emlékdíjat, a világ legjelent?sebb gyermek- és ifjúsági irodalmi díját. Thomasék szomszédja egy vén boszorkány, akit?l mindenki tart. Trópusi halak úsznak a csatornában. Békák hada d?r?mb?l a bejárati ajtón. Legalábbis Thomas így látja. Rajta kívül azonban senki másnak nem t?nnek fel ezek a dolgok. A fiú mindent lejegyez a naplójába, a Minden dolgok k?nyvébe. Ez nyugtatja meg, amikor az apja elveri, vagy amikor az angyalok sírni kezdenek az édesanyja miatt. Az írás er?t ad Thomasnak, és segít, hogy olyan emberré váljon, amilyen mindig is lenni szeretett volna… boldog. ?Felment a szobájába és el?vette a füzetet, amelybe a k?nyvét írta. A k?nyv címe az volt, hogy Minden dolgok k?nyve. Thomas el?vette a tollát, és írni kezdett. ?Olyan hatalmas jéges? volt, hogy leverte a leveleket a fákról. Ez tényleg így t?rtént, a Jan van Eyck utcában, kilencéves koromban.” Kinézett az ablakon, hogy gondolkodjon, mert ablak nélkül gondolkodni sem tudott. Vagy fordítva: ha volt a k?zelében egy ablak, mindjárt gondolkodni kezdett. Aztán így folytatta: ?Ha nagy leszek, boldog leszek.” ?Hallotta, hogy hazaért az apja, és azt gondolta: Már fél hat, és még mindig nem tudom, mir?l szóljon a k?nyvem. Tulajdonképpen mir?l szoktak szólni a k?nyvek?”
