The Heptameron, Volume 1
￥8.09
With 23 illustrations. According to Wikipedia: "The Heptameron is a collection of 72 short stories written in French by Marguerite of Navarre (1492-1549), published posthumously in 1558. It has the form of a frame narrative and was inspired by The Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio. It was originally intended to contain one hundred stories covering ten days just as The Decameron does, but at Marguerite’s death it was only completed as far as the second story of the eighth day. Many of the stories deal with love, lust, infidelity and other romantic and sexual matters. One was based on the life of Marguerite de La Rocque, a French noblewoman abandoned, as punishment, with her lover on an island off Quebec... Marguerite de Navarre (French: Marguerite d'Angoulême) (April 11, 1492 – December 21, 1549), also known as Marguerite of Angouleme and Margaret of Navarre, was the queen consort of King Henry II of Navarre. As patron of humanists and reformers, and as an author in her own right, she was an outstanding figure of the French Renaissance. Samuel Putnam called her "The First Modern Woman"."
The After House
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Mary Roberts Rinehart (August 12, 1876-September 22, 1958) was a prolific author often called the American Agatha Christie. She is considered the source of the phrase "The butler did it", although she did not actually use the phrase herself, and also considered to have invented the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing.... Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues and special articles. Many of her books and plays, such as The Bat (1920) were adapted for movies, such as The Bat (1926), The Bat Whispers (1930), and The Bat (1959). While many of her books were best-sellers, critics were most appreciative of her murder mysteries. Rinehart, in The Circular Staircase (1908), is credited with inventing the "Had-I-But-Known" school of mystery writing. The Circular Staircase is a novel in which "a middle-aged spinster is persuaded by her niece and nephew to rent a country house for the summer. The house they choose belonged to a bank defaulter who had hidden stolen securities in the walls. The gentle, peace-loving trio is plunged into a series of crimes solved with the help of the aunt. This novel is credited with being the first in the "Had-I-But-Known" school."[3] The Had-I-But-Known mystery novel is one where the principal character (frequently female) does less than sensible things in connection with a crime which have the effect of prolonging the action of the novel. Ogden Nash parodied the school in his poem Don't Guess Let Me Tell You: "Sometimes the Had I But Known then what I know now I could have saved at least three lives by revealing to the Inspector the conversation I heard through that fortuitous hole in the floor." The phrase "The butler did it", which has become a cliché, came from Rinehart's novel The Door, in which the butler actually did do it, although that exact phrase does not actually appear in the work."

The Confessions of Nat Turner
￥8.09
According to Wikipedia: "Nathaniel "Nat" Turner (October 2, 1800 – November 11, 1831) was an American slave who led a slave rebellion in Virginia on August 21, 1831 that resulted in 56 deaths among their victims, the largest number of white fatalities to occur in one uprising in the antebellum southern United States. He gathered supporters in Southampton County, Virginia. Turner's killing of whites during the uprising makes his legacy controversial. For his actions, Turner was convicted, sentenced to death, and executed. In the aftermath, the state executed 56 blacks accused of being part of Turner's rebellion. Two hundred additional blacks were beaten and killed, as part of overreaction by white militias and mobs. Virginia and other southern states passed legislation reducing rights of free blacks and slaves. Across the South, state legislators passed new laws prohibiting education of slaves and free blacks, restricting rights of assembly and other civil rights for free blacks, and requiring white ministers to be present at black worship services."

A Trónok harca tévésorozat alkotójának, producerének és forgatók?nyvírójának, New York Times bestseller, díjnyertes, k?zel negyven országban kiadott regénye. A nácik kegyetlen ostromgy?r?jében verg?d? Leningrádban Lev Benyovot letartóztatják fosztogatásért, és egy cellába kerül Koljával, a jókép? fiatal dezert?rrel. Kivégzés helyett azonban elképeszt? ajánlatot kapnak, hogy megmenthessék az életüket: egy tucat tojást kell keríteniük a Belbiztonság nagy hatalmú ezredesének, leánya lakodalmi tortájához. Mivel a városba már jó ideje nem jut be semmilyen utánpótlás, lakói elképzelhetetlen mértékben nélkül?znek, éheznek. Lev és Kolja nekivág a lehetetlennek – Leningrád kíméletlen poklában, s?t még az ellenséges vonalakon túl is kutatják a felbecsülhetetlen kincset. Ebben a megindító, ugyanakkor mulatságos, egyszerre sziporkázó és hátborzongató regényben a második világháborúban átélt kalandok során egy fiú férfivá érésének ízig-vérig modern t?rténete is kibontakozik el?ttünk. A k?tetet a neves m?fordító, Gy. Horváth László (Gépnarancs, Pi élete, Széthullott birodalom trilógia stb.) ültette át magyar nyelvre. David Benioff a k?nyvek mellett forgatók?nyveket ír. Els? regényéb?l, Az utolsó éjjelb?l Spike Lee rendezett emlékezetes filmet Edward Norton f?szereplésével. A Tolvajok tele a második és eddig utolsó regénye, mert a megjelenése után Benioff egy olyan projektbe fogott bele, ami mellett nincs ideje másra: ? az utóbbi évek egyik legsikeresebb tévésorozatának, a Trónok harcának alkotója, producere és forgatók?nyvírója. A feleségével, Amanda Peet színészn?vel és lányukkal Los Angelesben él.

A Riyria krónikák eredetileg magánkiadásban jelent meg, majd felfigyelt rá az Orbit, a világ egyik legjelent?sebb fantasy-sci-fi kiadója, és 2011 végén saját kiadásban kezdte el kiadni a regényeket, amelyek villámgyorsan az utóbbi évek legsikeresebb új fantasy sorozatává váltak. Legalább 15 országba eladták már a kiadás jogait, és ez a szám folyamatosan b?vül. B?B FEJ?RE KER?L A KORONA. AZ IGAZI ?R?K?S REJTVE MARAD. EGY KALANDOR TITKA FELFORGATHAT MINDENT. Háború fenyegeti Melengárt, és h?seink újabb kockázatos megbízást kapnak. Ezúttal sz?vetséget kell k?tniük a nemzetelv?ek csapataival, akik délen a birodalmi elnyomók ellen küzdenek. A Nefronita Birodalom megállíthatatlanul terjeszkedik, és Royce gyanúja egyre er?sebb, hogy Ezrahaddon, a mágus eszk?zként használja ?t és társát saját, kifürkészhetetlen céljaihoz. Ha ki akarja deríteni az igazságot, meg kell fejtenie Hadrian titkát. ?m felfedezése, k?nnyen véget vethet a barátságuknak és kettészakíthatja a Riyriát. A Birodalom születik a magával ragadó Riyria-krónikák harmadik k?tete. A hatk?tetes sorozatot írója egyetlen, eposzi magaslatokra t?r? t?rténetként alkotta meg, amit kül?n epizódokra bontott. A cselekményszálak egybefonódnak, de minden egyes k?tet a saját t?rténetét meséli el, és kül?n, kerek egészként is élvezhet?. Az eredetileg magánkiadásban megjelent sorozatra felfigyelt egy nagy kiadó is, és az új kiadás révén az utóbbi évek legsikeresebb új fantasyjévé vált.
