In a Shepherd's Bush bedsit, Amelia White dreams of being a reporter. The closest she's come is selling advertising in the local paper.
Until the fateful day she stumbles on a truly shocking scoop.
Round the corner from her home, she discovers the body of a murder victim, dumped among the rubbish. When the police and reporters descend, Amelia is horrified at the assumptions made and lies soon to be spread about this poor young woman.
Determined to protect the victim from these smears and help her grieving family, she convinces her paper's editor to allow her to take up her pen and tell the true story.
But when another body is found and the police investigation stalls, Amelia - uncovering new witnesses and suspects in her search for clues - discovers that she may be the only one with any chance of learning the truth and stopping more killings.
If only she can work out who the liar is . . .

Przedstawiamy pakiet 8 tytułów sagi.Kultowy cykl fantasy Andrzeja Sapkowskiego WIEDŹMIN w nowym serialowym wydaniu. Wydanie w nowej szacie graficznej z obwolutą filmową. Wiedźmin Sapkowskiego 1. Sezon Burz: Oto nowy Sapkowski i nowy wiedźmin. Mistrz polskiej fantastyki znowu zaskakuje. Sezon burz nie opowiada bowiem o młodzieńczych latach białowłosego zabójcy potworów ani o jego losach po śmierci/nieśmierci kończącej ostatni tom sagi. „Nigdy nie mów nigdy!” W powieści pojawiają się osoby doskonale czytelnikom znane, jak wierny druh Geralta – bard i poeta Jaskier – oraz jego ukochana, zwodnicza czarodziejka Yennefer, ale na scenę wkraczają też dosłownie i w przenośni postaci z zupełnie innych bajek. Ludzie, nieludzie i magiczną sztuką wyhodowane bestie....

Tytuł uważany jest za jedną z najważniejszych włoskich książek XX wieku. Słownik rodzinny to opowieść o nieprzeciętnej, inteligenckiej rodzinie Levich, wyznającej postępowe, jak na tamte czasy, socjalistyczne i ateistyczne poglądy.

Każdy w tym domu ma coś oryginalnego do powiedzenia, każdy błyszczy intelektem, każdy zabiera głos w każdej sprawie – jednak słowa budują tu jedyni...

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw – and felt – what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes It reached up, seizing, tearing, killing... The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of It was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront It as It stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

Together they embark on a profoundly strange journey across the heart of the USA, whilst all around them a storm of preternatural and epic proportions threatens to break.

The Company of the Ring is sundered. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin – alone that is, save for a mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go.
Sapiens showed us where we came from. Homo Deus shows us where we're going. War is obsolete. You are more likely to commit suicide than be killed in conflict. Famine is disappearing. You are at more risk of obesity than starvation. Death is just a technical problem. Equality is out – but immortality is in. What does our future hold? Yuval Noah Harari author of the bestselling phenomenon Sapiens envisions a not-too-distant world in which we face a new set of challenges. Homo Deus explores the projects, dreams and nightmares that will shape the twenty-first century – from overcoming death to creating artificial life. It asks the fundamental questions: Where do we go from here? And how will we protect this fragile world from our own destructive powers?

Now it falls to struggling writer Mercer Mann to crack a case that has thwarted the FBI's finest minds.
