BORNAI TIBOR ?S BORNAI TIBOR? Talán csak nem ?nmagával fog társalogni a szerz?? Nos, ezúttal másról van szó. A k?nyvet, amit most a kezében tart az olvasó, ketten írták: Bornai Tibor, az édesapa, aki hatvanéves korában, negyven évvel ezel?tt hunyt el, és fia, Bornai Tibor, aki akkor még csak tizenhét éves volt. Az apa 1912-ben született, és 1972-ben halt meg. Fia 1955-ben látta meg a napvilágot, a másik dátum még titok. Kettejük t?rténeteib?l rajzolódik ki ez a nehéz, csodákkal és tragédiákkal telezsúfolt id?szak, amelynek kezdete éppen most, a k?nyv megjelenésekor ér százéves évfordulójához. Err?l a száz évr?l mesélnek ?k ketten: a kályha mellett ülve téli estéken, a Balaton partján heverészve, egy május elsejei felvonuláson, egy Párizs felé robogó kisbuszon, a Népliget mutatványosbódéi el?tti padon vagy egy ?ll?i úti bérház konyhájában. Sírós-nevet?s k?nyv ez, dokumentumregény, minden benne szerepl? tény és adat valóságos. Apa és fia jegyzetfüzetében lapozgathatunk csodálkozva, hogy mennyire rímel egymásra ez a két sors. ?s talán sokan lesznek majd, akik a maguk életében is megtalálják az ugyanilyen rímképlet? verssorokat. ?Oroszlán az Ecseri úton? Hogy kerül egy oroszlán az Ecseri útra, ahol a használt gyerekkocsitól a hibás rádióig, a szakadozott k?nyvekt?l a molyos rókaboáig ócska tárgyakat adnak-vesznek az emberek?” Kiderül majd, ahogy az olvasók az igazi, nagy kérdésekre is választ találnak ebben az emberséggel és humorral átsz?tt k?nyvben.

Meg lehet-e gyógyulni egy súlyos betegségb?l, amelynek már a puszta neve is sokakat rettegéssel t?lt el? Péceli Rita válasza: igen! S hogy mi kell hozzá? Elszántság, bátorság, bizalom és szeretet. Odafigyelés ?nmagunkra, remek orvosok, barátaink támogatása és nem utolsósorban egy h?séges társ, aki jóban-rosszban kitart mellettünk. Mert a gyógyulás lehetséges, még akkor is, ha a bajban éppen azoktól nem kapunk segítséget, akikre a leginkább számítunk. A t?rténet bizonyítja: a legnehezebb helyzetb?l is megtalálhatjuk a kiutat. Mert a szeretet és a segítség er?t ad. Ennek k?sz?nhet?en Rita felveszi a keszty?t, és a hosszú, gy?trelmes küzdelem végén megtalálja a gyógyulást, a boldogságot és igazi hivatását is. Visszakapja egészségét, normális életét, s?t a szenvedés árán egy sokkal gazdagabb, igazabb életet nyer a régi helyett. ?Hamarosan hozzám is odaj?ttek. – Ni, csak, a vicces kedv? h?lgy. – Engem is átraktak a kórtermi ágyamba. Megint elveszítettem az ?ntudatomat. Amikor végleg felébredtem, úgy éreztem, majd kicsattanok. Az ablaküvegen átfúródó napsugarak táncot jártak a szobában, minden sarokba jutott bel?lük. Az ágynem?k a korábbinál is fehérebben vakítottak. Egy darabka mennyország dicsfénnyel és felh?kkel. Valóságos eufória lett úrrá rajtam. – ?lek, élek, élek! – kiáltottam. – Micsoda boldogság!” A visszakapott élet Rados Virág második regénye, a nagy siker? Bipoláris folytatása, amely szintén igaz t?rténet alapján íródott.

Green Races Red
Eddie Irvine,Maurice Hamilton
¥46.11
Originally published in 1997 and now available as an ebook. This edition does not include illustrations. Eddie Irvine is a breath of fresh air in the serious world of Formula 1. Selected to drive for Ferrari alongside double world champion Michael Schumacher, the 1996 season proved to be a frustrating period for the Irishman as he struggled to get to grips with a temperamental car and live up to the high expectations of the media and the tifosi. But as he demonstrates in his fascinating insight into the world of Ferrari, Irvine's flamboyant personality and aggressive driving style meant he was never far from the action, both on and off the track. Irvine lifts the lid on his attempts to prove his worth at Ferrari and recalls all the crashes and crises, thrills and spills of the 1997 season.
The Wife’s Tale: A Personal History
The Wife’s Tale: A Personal History
Aida Edemariam
¥125.18
The extraordinary story of an indomitable 95-year-old woman – and of the most extraordinary century in Ethiopia’s history. A new Wild Swans A hundred years ago, a girl was born in the northern Ethiopian city of Gondar. Before she was ten years old, Yetemegnu was married to a man two decades her senior, an ambitious poet-priest. Over the next century her world changed beyond recognition. She witnessed Fascist invasion and occupation, Allied bombardment and exile from her city, the ascent and fall of Emperor Haile Selassie, revolution and civil war. She endured all these things alongside parenthood, widowhood and the death of children. The Wife’s Tale is an intimate memoir, both of a life and of a country. In prose steeped in Yetemegnu’s distinctive voice and point of view, Aida Edemariam retells her grandmother’s stories of a childhood surrounded by proud priests and soldiers, of her husband’s imprisonment, of her fight for justice – all of it played out against an ancient cycle of festivals and the rhythms of the seasons. She introduces us to a rich cast of characters – emperors and empresses, scholars and nuns, Marxist revolutionaries and wartime double agents. And through these encounters she takes us deep into the landscape and culture of this many-layered, often mis-characterised country – and the heart of one indomitable woman.
Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth
Anything You Can Imagine: Peter Jackson and the Making of Middle-earth
Ian Nathan,Andy Serkis
¥147.35
The definitive history of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth saga, Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across all six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast & crew. From the early days of daring to dream it could be done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan adoration and, finally, Oscar glory. Lights A nine-year-old boy in New Zealand’s Pukerua Bay stays up late and is spellbound by a sixty-year-old vision of a giant ape on an island full of dinosaurs. This is true magic. And the boy knows that he wants to be a magician. Camera Fast-forward twenty years and the boy has begun to cast a spell over the film-going audience, conjuring gore-splattered romps with bravura skill that will lead to Academy recognition with an Oscar nomination for Heavenly Creatures. The boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has arrived, and Hollywood comes calling. What would he like to do next? ‘How about a fantasy film, something like The Lord of the Rings…?’ Action The greatest work of fantasy in modern literature, and the biggest, with rights ownership so complex it will baffle a wizard. Vast. Complex. Unfilmable. One does not simply walk into Mordor – unless you are Peter Jackson. Anything You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and his trusty fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest every bit as daunting as Frodo’s, and transformed JRR Tolkien’s epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did it again with The Hobbit. Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson, his fellow filmmakers and many of the films’ stars, Ian Nathan’s mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over the shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the unforgettable, and proves that film-making really is ‘anything you can imagine’.
Blue: All Rise: Our Story
Blue: All Rise: Our Story
Antony Costa,Duncan James
¥139.99
For the first time, more than 15 years after four boys from London were first thrown together to form what would go on to become one of the most successful and infamous groups of the boyband era, Lee, Antony, Duncan and Simon tell their full, no-holds-barred story in their own inimitable words. Blue first rose to fame and mega-stardom in 2001. With 3 UK Number 1 Platinum-selling albums, 2 Brit Awards and 16 million records to their name, they quickly became the crushes of choice for the noughties generation. But their tendency to say exactly what they think, wear their hearts on their sleeves and court controversy (usually unintentionally) has meant that they’ve rarely left the limelight, or public hearts and minds, since. Blue: All Rise: Our Story is the boys’ intimate tell-all account charting the highs and the lows of their incredible career, the stories behind the headlines, and our favourite face-palm-worthy Blue moments. With explosive new reveals, never-before-seen photos, and all the latest updates – including Simon’s engagement and his struggle with depression, Lee’s brush with cancer, Duncan’s devastation at the passing away of his best friend, original It Girl Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, and how Antony’s adapting to fatherhood all over again, this is the story every 2000s teen has been waiting for, from four lads who’ve come out the other side older, wiser and closer than ever.

Cathy spends three anxious days worrying about her whereabouts before Alice is found safe, but traumatized.

The grandparents are distraught—Alice has never known her father, and her grandparents claim he is a violent drug dealer. Desperate to help Alice find the happy home she deserves, Cathy's parenting skills are tested in many new ways.

Robert Bhatia
¥66.22
The remarkable story of Helen Forrester, author of Twopence to Cross the Mersey, and how she turned tragedy to triumph. When Helen Forrester’s father went bankrupt in the 1930’s, she and her six siblings fell from a comfortable middle-class existence into wretched poverty. Later in life, Helen wrote a ground-breaking series of memoirs, starting with Twopence to Cross the Mersey, which told the harrowing account of her family’s struggles in Depression-era Liverpool. It was a story filled with tragedy and small triumphs but many readers wondered what happened to Helen when she grew up; what became of the fragile young girl who had so much responsibility heaped on her shoulders? Now for the first time, her son Robert recounts the unexpected life that Helen went on to live; of the remarkable love story with a young man from a background a million miles away from everything a Lancashire Lass like Helen would have known and of the astonishing lengths she went to in order to achieve happiness. Full of new revelations and fascinating detail never before revealed, Passage Across the Mersey is a story of an extraordinary woman, and of the journey that took her thousands of miles from the place she called home…
Blood-Dark Track: A Family History
Blood-Dark Track: A Family History
Joseph O’Neill
¥66.22
From the bestselling and PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author of Netherland, a fascinating, personal, and beautifully crafted family history. Joseph O'Neill's grandfathers--one Turkish, one Irish--were both imprisoned for suspected subversion during the Second World War. The Irish grandfather, a handsome rogue from a family of small farmers, was an active member of the IRA. O'Neill's other grandfather, a debonair hotelier from the tiny and threatened Turkish Christian minority, was interned by the British in Palestine on suspicion of being an Axis spy. With intellect, compassion, and grace, O'Neill sets the stories of these individuals against the history of the last century's most inhuman events.
