Alma savjetuje

Moda. Knjiga koju svaka žena mora imati kraj ormara. Stvorite vlastiti stil, jer moda je prolazna, kaže modna novinarka čije savjete svakodnevno primjenjuje više od 100.000 žena. Boje, krojevi, izrezi, rukavi, širine hlača, krojevi bluza, nakit, modni dodaci i, dakako, cipele i čizme – sve je tu na jednom mjestu u knjizi koja izgleda poput velike modne rubrike s praktičnim savjetima, a nisu izostavljeni čak ni savjeti kako održavati odjeću i pospremiti ormar, kako biste uvijek imali što obući. Ne namećući modne diktate, Alma upozorava, ali i pokazuje kako izgledati lijepo i zavodljivo, bez obzira na dob ili građu tijela: kako se igrati bojama te da crno ili bijelo ipak nije formula i rješenje za svaku ženu. A kad pročitate savjete za održavanje odjeće, morat ćete se ozbiljno zamisliti. (Branka Vučetić Atletić, ravnateljica učilišta Profokus).

Unravelling the Book of Books

Ernest R. Trattner’s Unravelling the Book of Books explores the complexities of the Bible, presenting it as a puzzle that has been meticulously solved through historical and textual analysis. The book delves into the origins, interpretations, and the myriad documents associated with biblical texts, aiming to clarify misconceptions and reveal the underlying narratives that shape religious thought. Trattner’s work is both a scholarly examination and an accessible guide for readers interested in understanding the Bible beyond its spiritual dimensions, highlighting how historical context and critical inquiry can illuminate its meanings.

Fire

A riveting collection of literary journalism by the bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, capped off brilliantly by a new Afterword and a timely essay about war-torn Afghanistan — a superb eyewitness report about the Taliban’s defeat in Kabul — new to book form. Sebastian Junger has made a specialty of bringing to life the drama of nature and human nature. Few writers have been to so many disparate and desperate corners of the globe. Fewer still have met the standard of great journalism more consistently. None has provided more starkly memorable evocations of extreme events. From the murderous mechanics of the diamond trade in Sierra Leone, to an inferno forest fire burning out of control in the steep canyons of Idaho, to the forensics of genocide in Kosovo, this collection of Junger’s reporting will take readers to places they need to know about but wouldn’t dream of going on their own. In his company we travel to these places, pass through frightening checkpoints, actual and psychological, and come face-to-face with the truth.

It can be used to conquer the very depths of time and space, but if Rokoff releases its supernatural forces, the gem will rip apart the fabric of reality. He will throw open the gates to Pellucidar–the prehistoric land at the Earth’s core. In doing so, he will unleash the grotesque, reptilian armies of the Mahars. Only Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, can hope to stop the flood of creatures whose one goal is bloodthirsty conquest. But even Tarzan may fall prey to the talons of Mora, the ruthless and seductive Queen of the Mahars.

The Immortalists

It’s 1969 in New York City’s Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children—four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness—sneak out to hear their fortunes. The prophecies inform their next five decades. Golden-boy Simon escapes to the West Coast, searching for love in ’80s San Francisco; dreamy Klara becomes a Las Vegas magician, obsessed with blurring reality and fantasy; eldest son Daniel seeks security as an army doctor post-9/11; and bookish Varya throws herself into longevity research, where she tests the boundary between science and immortality. A sweeping novel of remarkable ambition and depth, The Immortalists probes the line between destiny and choice, reality and illusion, this world and the next. It is a deeply moving testament to the power of story, the nature of belief, and the unrelenting pull of familial bonds.
