Would you be able to kill your best friend?

Imagine that your new classmate is a murderer at one of the world's leading higher education academies, where only the most privileged are allowed to enter. The Carnivora Academy prep school is seemingly an elite school, but it soon becomes clear that terrible secrets have been hidden within its walls for years.

One day, a mysterious message arrives, inviting you to play a dark game. Do you answer or dare?

Although everyone despises and avoids the outcast student, fate has it that you will need his help. During the game and the investigation, you get close to the murderer and realize that maybe he is not the culprit after all.

What could have happened five years ago within the walls of the academy? The shadows of the past haunt you, and suddenly everyone becomes suspicious. But can you really trust someone who is a master of deception and emotional manipulation?

A murder from the past. A secret society. Mysteries. And repressed desires that could be your downfall. The game won't let you get out, and when the truth is revealed, it will wreak havoc on you
A magyar nemzet biztonsága

A magyar nemzet biztonsága

Translated title: The Security of the Hungarian Nation

Author: Lászlo, Krasznahorkai

Genre: Social Novel

Year: 2025 | Pages: 170 | Origin: HUN | BA Seq Num: 91684

Every butterfly is a moth, but not every moth is a butterfly. All this is revealed in László Krasznahorkai's new book, as well as other important information about the life and death of butterflies. And also how one of the main characters of our novel decides in childhood that he will search for and research butterflies throughout his life.

And why will it be important for the other main character of the novel, an elderly man who soon reveals his identity, to get to know the expert butterfly scientist and ask him, apart from butterflies, what is the most important question in life?

How do the two main characters come close to each other, and how do they become indispensable to each other? So then, The Security of the Hungarian Nation is a novel about a special friendship? That is. The announcement of a farewell? Yes. The unsolvable trap of the origin of life? Yes. Butterflies fly and words rush to fall into the web of characteristic Krasznahorkai sentences: about the happiness of private passions, the reality of the brutal outside world, the laws of natural existence; about the only universe in which butterflies, man, failure and that which can lift us up, condense into a single point

Year: 2024 | Pages: 360 | Origin: HUN | BA Seq Num: 88411

Grace Evans rents a farmhouse in the middle of Wyoming to escape her overworked life in New York. Her getaway couldn't start better, as the idyllic house is owned by an extremely handsome man, Calvin Wells. At first, they have a hard time finding common ground, because they come from two very different worlds, but Grace is charmed by the everyday life of the countryside and the kindness of her landlord. But over time, she notices a few ominous signs.

For example, there is no mobile network. A woman has recently disappeared in the area. And it seems that there are strange things around the farm too. The unsettling circumstances are initially overcome by the attraction between the two and their slow but steady rapprochement, but as the time comes for the woman to leave, things go seriously wrong. Light flirtations soon turn into a thick web of lies: Calvin's infatuation turns into a disturbing obsession, while he begins to suspect that Grace is being dishonest with him, starting with why she rented his house. We already know that in a fling, one party can easily get hurt, but something much more terrible awaits Grace and Calvin in this unsettling, suspenseful thriller
