Рейчел Кейн | литература на иностранных языках, фэнтези
В маленьком университетском городке Морганвилль вампиры и люди жили в (относительном) мире до тех пор, пока правила не изменились, когда в город приехал злой вампир Бишоп в поисках утерянной книги вампирских секретов. С тех пор он держал город мёртвой хваткой. Но теперь подпольное сопротивление набирает обороты, и чтобы сдержать его, Бишопу нужно будет постараться изо всех сил. Он обещает уничтожить город и всех его обитателей — живых и немёртвых. Клер Дэнверс и её друзья — единственные, кто могут встать у него на пути.

Гиллиан Флинн | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература, современная зарубежная литература
Acanny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection. However, when the "psychic" visits the eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan's terror and grief, she realizes she may not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore. Miles, Susan's teenage stepson, doesn't help matters with his disturbing manner and grisly imagination. The three are soon locked in a chilling battle to discover where the evil truly lurks and what, if anything, can be done to escape it. The Grownup, which originally appeared as "What Do You Do?" in George R.R.Martin's Rogues anthology, proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world's most original and skilled voices in fiction.

Рут Ренделл | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература, современная зарубежная литература
The Portobello area of West London has a rich personality - vibrant, brilliant in colour, noisy, with graffiti that approach art, bizarre and splendid. An indefinable edge to it adds a spice of danger. There is nothing safe about Portobello ...Eugene Wren inherited an art gallery from his father near an arcade that now sells cashmere, handmade soaps and children's clothes. But he decided to move to a more upmarket site in Kensington Church Street. Eugene is fifty, with prematurely white hair. He is, perhaps, too secretive for his own good. He also has an addictive personality. But he has cut back radically on his alcohol consumption and has given up cigarettes. Which is just as well, considering he is going out with a doctor. For all his good intentions, though, there is something he doesn't want her to know about. Eugene's secret links the lives of a number of very different people - each with their obsessions, problems, dreams and despairs. And through it all the hectic life of Portobello bustles on.

Иван Франко | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература
“Зів’яле листя” з перших поетичних рядків і до останніх дарує читачам нагоду розгорнути власне бачення любові. Перед нами чи не перша спроба художньо візуалізувати ліричні переживання поета, яку запропонувало наймолодше покоління львівських художників. (Автори художнього оформлення – талановиті митці Романа Романишин і Андрій Лесів.) Унікальність цього видання передусім у його композиції: сторінки оздоблені автографами поезій „Зів’ялого листя”, що знайдені в архівах Києва та Львова. У книжці збе-режено всі коментарі І. Франка до його поезій. Поетична збірка мимоволі нагадує альбоми початку ХХ століття із дбайливо вкладеними сухими рослинами. Книжка багато ілюстрована світлинами жінок епохи Франка.

У світі надмірної (дез)інформації і тотального відчуження він — заручник світових абсурдів — прагне подолати комунікативну прірву між чоловіком і жінкою, між родиною і професією, між Україною і світом. За жанровою стилістикою «Записки українського самашедшого» — насичений мікс художньої літератури, внутрішніх щоденників, сучасного літописання і публіцистики.

Любко Мирославович Дереш | литература на иностранных языках
«Остання любов Асури Махараджа» — алегорична історія про демона, який вирішив покинути розкіш нижніх світів заради любові до сліпої дівчини з України, що мешкає в самому серці Нью-Йорка. Протистояння напівбогів і демонів, демонстрації на Уолл-стріт і харизматичні проповідники, метафізичні запитання і смачні історії з лівообертальних світів (толерантна назва пекельних планет) — все це у новому романі Любка Дереша про любов, від якої тане серце.

Любко Мирославович Дереш | литература на иностранных языках
Нова книжка молодого українського письменника складається з двох повістей та оповідання. Перед нами постає зовсім несподіваний і трохи загадковий Любко Дереш...Так, це дуже дивна історія, сумна та загадкова… Вона не має ані свідків, ані спостерігачів, але ж звідкись ми її знаємо. Що насправді спричинило дивовижне перетворення молодого аспіранта Віденського університету, лінґвіста, безтурботного молодика Стефана Лянґе, що занурило його у чужу долю, піднесло аж до самого Бога, а відтоді призвело до його кінця чи-то початку?«…Сім, шість, п’ять…» — зворотний відлік. За якусь мить світ розколеться на до й після. І тієї ж самої миті, після грандіозного спалаху, на який так довго чекала купка науковців і військових, розколеться навпіл світогляд Роберта Оппенгеймера — творця та руйнівника. Хто він — містер Оппенгеймер? Геніальний науковець? Філософ-спостерігач? Миротворець чи той, що несе смерть?Що в нього було? Та все, що потрібно віндсерферові, — вітер, ідеальні хвилі на Акабській затоці, невблаганне єгипетське сонце та черговий косяк, що забезпечить неперевершений кайф, ну й, звісна річ, дошка й вітрила. Тож що трапилося, друже, звідки з’явився той внутрішній голос із його прямими запитаннями, що, здається, йде з самого серця? І ось тут з’являється страх, а з ним боягузливе бажання втекти. Тримайся, герою, якщо ти дійсно герой… Може, саме час зустрітись із собою, справжнім собою у власному серці.ГЕНІЇ ТА ГЕРОЇ ЗАВЖДИ САМОТНІ…

Роберт Зубрин | литература на иностранных языках, иностранные языки
Since the beginning of human history, Mars has been an alluring dream—the stuff of legends, gods, and mystery. The planet most like ours, it has still been thought impossible to reach, let alone explore and inhabit. But all that changed when leading space exploration authority Robert Zubrin crafted a daring new blueprint, Mars Direct. When it was first published in 1996, The Case for Mars became an instant classic, lauded widely for its game-changing perspective by those who would see the American space program rise to the challenge of Mars; Carl Sagan called Zubrin the man who, “nearly alone, changed our thinking on this issue.” Now, fifteen years later, Zubrin brings readers up to date in this revised and updated anniversary edition filled with spectacular illustrations, extraordinary photographs, and one-of-a-kind anecdotes.

Роберт Зубрин | литература на иностранных языках, наука и образование
From renowned Mars visionary Robert Zubrin comes his much-anticipated debut novel - a work of fiction born from the facts that inspired his groundbreaking nonfiction works, The Case for Mars and Entering Space . Filled with startling authenticity, First Landing follows humankind's first manned mission to Mars, a new frontier of undreamed-of possibilities - and nightmarish dangers. Five are chosen for the first mission to Mars: Colonel Andrew Townsend, top-gun Air Force pilot, Major Gwen Llewellyn, tomboy flight engineer, the brilliant and beguiling blue stocking biologist Dr. Rebecca Sherman, Luke Johnson, redneck geologist from Texas, and Professor Kevin McGee, idealist, adventurer, and historian extraordinaire. In spite of clashing outlooks and personal friction, the crew of the ship Beagle makes history by becoming the first humans to walk upon the Red Planet. But when their findings set off a wave of controversy and political upheaval back home, public opinion turns against the Mars mission - and an ineffective government leaves the team stranded.

Роберт Зубрин | литература на иностранных языках, наука и образование
The author of The Case for Mars recounts the dramatic story of his band of space pioneers who simulated a mission to the Red Planet in the most desolate regions on Earth. Here is the incredible true story of a group of determined space voyagers who wouldn't wait for the space program to catch up with them. From 1999 to 2002, the stalwarts of the Mars Society began the virtual exploration of Mars through a series of unique missions. Complete with habitat modules, space suits, and next-generation exploration equipment, they lived in the most isolated spots on earth, where they replicated and studied the real-life challenges of exploring the Red Planet. Encounters with polar bears, tensions between crew members, bouts with near-disaster, and-ultimately-victory in creating an earthbound "space program" would inspire people around the world who followed the mission on the Discovery Channel and in feature articles. Leading the mission was the man known as the "Christopher Columbus of Mars," internationally renowned astronautical engineer Robert Zubrin. In Mars on Earth, Zubrin tells a tale of risk and adventure in the frozen wastes of the Arctic and Ant-arctic, and in the parched deserts of the American southwest and the Australian outback. Strikingly illustrated with dramatic on-site photographs and possessed of remarkable accounts of technological know-how and achievement, Mars on Earth captures the wild-eyed idealism and hardheaded practicality of the current generation of space enthusiasts.

His career was at a low point and choice roles were hard to come by.

He’s a player in more ways than one… College junior John Logan can get any girl he wants. For this hockey star, life is a parade of parties and hook-ups, but behind his killer grins and easygoing charm, he hides growing despair about the dead-end road he’ll be forced to walk after graduation. A sexy encounter with freshman Grace Ivers is just the distraction he needs, but when a thoughtless mistake pushes her away, Logan plans to spend his final year proving to her that he’s worth a second chance. Now he’s going to need to up his game… After a less than stellar freshman year, Grace is back at Briar University, older, wiser, and so over the arrogant hockey player she nearly handed her V-card to.

He wants her back? He’ll have to work for it. This time around, she’ll be the one in the driver’s seat…and she plans on driving him wild.

All too frequently, leadership is reduced to a simple dichotomy: the strong versus the weak. Yet, there are myriad ways to exercise effective political leadership—as well as different ways to fail. We blame our leaders for economic downfalls and praise them for vital social reforms, but rarely do we question what makes some leaders successful while others falter. In this magisterial and wide-ranging survey of political leadership over the past hundred years, renowned Oxford politics professor Archie Brown challenges the widespread belief that strong leaders – meaning those who dominate their colleagues and the policy-making process – are the most successful and admirable.

From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater powerto enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary childrens stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers Hansel and Gretel, and HansAndersens The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disneys Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pans Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.

'Why should Truth be a woman? Or Nature? Or Justice? Or Liberty? Not, certainly, because women have been more free, just, truthful, nor even (though this one has a double edge) more natural. Marina Warner sets out to breathe some life into the army of petrified personages that litters western cityscapes... As her book shows, these stony ladies can be persuaded to yield surprisingly interesting answers' - Lorna Sage, ObserverAn entertaining and enlightening book about the relationship between allegory and female form from one of the great feminists and cultural historians of our time, Marina Warner.

Марина Уорнер | литература 20 века, литература на иностранных языках
In this landmark study of the history and meaning of fairy tales, the celebrated cultural critic Marina Warner looks at storytelling in art and legend-from the prophesying enchantress who lures men to a false paradise, to jolly Mother Goose with her masqueraders in the real world. Why are storytellers so often women, and how does that affect the status of fairy tales? Are they a source of wisdom or a misleading temptation to indulge in romancing?

Марина Уорнер | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература, современная зарубежная литература
Our foremost theorist of myth, fairytales, and folktales explores the magical realm of the imagination where carpets fly, objects speak, dreams reveal hidden truths, and genies grant prophetic wishes. "Stranger Magic" examines the wondrous tales of the "Arabian Nights, " their profound impact on the West, and the progressive exoticization of magic since the eighteenth century, when the first European translations appeared.

Марина Уорнер | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература, современная зарубежная литература
With over thirty illustrations in color and black and white, Phantasmagoria takes readers on an intellectually exhilarating tour of ideas of spirit and soul in the modern world, illuminating key questions of imagination and cognition. Warner tells the unexpected and often disturbing story about shifts in thought about consciousness and the individual person, from the first public waxworks portraits at the end of the eighteenth century to stories of hauntings, possession, and loss of self in modern times. She probes the perceived distinctions between fantasy and deception, and uncovers a host of spirit forms--angels, ghosts, fairies, revenants, and zombies--that are still actively present in contemporary culture.

Martin Roach | литература на иностранных языках, иностранные языки
Author Martin Roach traces Coldplay's history from their self-financed early records through the hit albums-including Viva La Vida's collaboration with Brian Eno - to the present day. On the way he explores the band's professional and personal insecurities, their chosen political causes and their unswerving commitment to retaining artistic control of the music. Central to the Coldplay story is the sometimes angst-ridden personality of lead vocalist Chris Martin whose marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow adds both to his celebrity and to the pressure of being a working musician. Marked by individuality, integrity and musical talent, Coldplay's is an exceptional and compelling story. In Viva Coldplay! Martin Roach does it full justice. Martin Roach is a best-selling writer, with scores of books on music, youth culture and celebrity to his name.

Jordan Ellenberg | литература на иностранных языках, современная литература, современная зарубежная литература
The math we learn in school can seem like a dull set of rules, laid down by the ancients and not to be questioned. In How Not to Be Wrong, Jordan Ellenberg shows us how terribly limiting this view is: Math isn't confined to abstract incidents that never occur in real life, but rather touches everything we do-the whole world is shot through with it. Math allows us to see the hidden structures underneath the messy and chaotic surface of our world. It's a science of not being wrong, hammered out by centuries of hard work and argument. Armed with the tools of mathematics, we can see through to the true meaning of information we take for granted: How early should you get to the airport? What does "public opinion" really represent? Why do tall parents have shorter children? Who really won Florida in 2000? And how likely are you, really, to develop cancer? How Not to Be Wrong presents the surprising revelations behind all of these questions and many more, using the mathematician's method of analyzing life and exposing the hard-won insights of the academic community to the layman-minus the jargon. Ellenberg chases mathematical threads through a vast range of time and space, from the everyday to the cosmic, encountering, among other things, baseball, Reaganomics, daring lottery schemes, Voltaire, the replicability crisis in psychology, Italian Renaissance painting, artificial languages, the development of non-Euclidean geometry, the coming obesity apocalypse, Antonin Scalia's views on crime and punishment, the psychology of slime molds, what Facebook can and can't figure out about you, and the existence of God. Ellenberg pulls from history as well as from the latest theoretical developments to provide those not trained in math with the knowledge they need. Math, as Ellenberg says, is "an atomic-powered prosthesis that you attach to your common sense, vastly multiplying its reach and strength." With the tools of mathematics in hand, you can understand the world in a deeper, more meaningful way. How Not to Be Wrong will show you how.

As the founder of the Linux Training Academy and an instructor of several courses, I've had the good fortune of helping thousands of people hone their Linux skills. Interacting with so many people who are just getting started with the Linux operating system has given me invaluable insight into the particular struggles and challenges people face at this stage. One of the biggest challenges for people interested in learning the ins and outs of Linux is simply a lack of time. When you are working with a limited and extremely valuable resource you want to make sure you make the most of it. The next biggest challenge for Linux newcomers is knowing where to start. There is so much information available that deciding what to focus your attention on first is a big enough hurdle to keep many people from even starting. What's worse is starting down the path of learning only to discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you with more questions than answers.

In THE NEW HUNGER, Isaac Marion’s much-anticipated prequel to WARM BODIES, America has been devastated by natural disasters and governmental collapse, as well as the annoying problem of zombies trying to devour any survivors. But 16-year-old Nora and her younger brother Addis are about to discover the most frightening thing yet—being abandoned by their own parents. As the siblings begin their harrowing journey to connect with anyone who isn’t looking to rob them or eat them, a 12-year-old girl named Julie is traveling in an SUV with her parents. She’s already seen her friends die and her school burn, and watched her father become nearly as cold and remorseless as the Dead.
