Harry ​Potter and the Goblet of Fire

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Read ​by Jim Dale Running time: 11 hrs., 48 mins. 10 CDs. For twelve long years, the dread fortress of Azkaban held an infamous prisoner named Sirius Black. Convicted of killing thirteen people with a single curse, he was said to be the heir apparent to the Dark Lord, Voldemort. Now he has escaped, leaving only two clues as to where he might be headed: Harry Potter's defeat of You-Know-Who was Black's downfall as well. And the Azkban guards heard Black muttering in his sleep, "He's at Hogwarts...he's at Hogwarts." Harry Potter isn't safe, not even within the walls of his magical school, surrounded by his friends. Because on top of it all, there may well be a traitor in their midst.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Harry ​Potter receives an ominous warning from a house-elf at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: if he returns to the school at the end of the summer, terrible things will happen. But return Harry must. His second year begins with a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Quidditch training and the intensification of old rivalries. Then the warning starts to ring true, as mysterious words are daubed on a wall, students are attacked and Ron's sister, Ginny, disappears. And so the search for Salazar Slytherin's heir begins, with the mystery pointing Harry to a clandestine chamber and a deadly creature at its heart...

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Harry ​has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him… In this final, seventh instalment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
There ​is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror? Here are just a few things on Harry's mind: - A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey. - A venomous, disgruntled house-elf - Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team - The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams . . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice. Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.

J. R. R. Tolkien - A ​Gyűrűk Ura
A ​Gyűrűk Ura tündérmese. Mégpedig - legalábbis terjedelmét tekintve - alighanem minden idők legnagyobb tündérmeséje. Tolkien képzelete szabadon, ráérősen kalandozik a három vaskos könyvben, amikor a világ sorát még nem az ember szabta meg, hanem a jót és szépet, a gonoszat és álnokot egyaránt ember előtti lények, ősi erők képviselték. Abban az időben, amikor a mi időszámításunk előtt ki tudja, hány ezer, tízezer esztendővel a Jó kisebbségbe szorult erői szövetségre léptek, hogy a Rossz erőit legyőzzék: tündék, féltündék, az ősi Nyugatfölde erényeit őrző emberek, törpök és félszerzetek, erdőtündék fogtak össze, hogy a jó varázslat eszközével, s a nagy mágus, Gandalf vezetésével végül győzelmet arassanak, de épp e győzelem következtében elenyésszen az ő idejük, s az árnyak birodalmába áthajózva átadják a földet új urának, az ember fajnak. Különös világ ez az emberfölötti - vagy emberalatti - lényekkel benépesített Középfölde. Anyagi valósága nincs. Baljós, fekete várai, csodás fehér tornyai, fullasztó, sűrű erdei, gyilkos hegyei, sötét mélységei gondoskodnak róla, hogy egy pillanatig ne érezzük magunkat a fogható valóság közegében. Különös, hisz ebben a mesevilágban, ahol oly ékesen virágoznak a lovagi erények, véletlenül sem találkozunk az emelkedett eszményeket hirdető kora középkori lovagvilág fonákjával, az eszmények máza alatt a könyörtelen társadalmi tagozódással, elnyomással, nyomorral, létbizonytalansággal; ebben a külsőre feudálisnak tetsző világban jó is, rossz is vele születik a szereplőkkel, ott rejlik a szívük mélyén; a könyv személytelen szereplője a morál, az pedig kiben-kiben belső parancs.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry ​Potter has never played a sport while flying on a broomstick. He's never worn a Cloak of Invisibility, befriended a giant, or helped hatch a dragon. All Harry knows is a miserable life with the Dursleys, his horrible aunt and uncle, and their abominable son, Dudley. Harry's room is a tiny cupboard under the stairs, and he hasn't had a birthday party in ten years. But all that is about to change when a mysterious letter arrives by owl messenger: a letter with an invitation to a wonderful place he never dreamed existed. There he finds not only friends, aerial sports, and magic around every corner, but a great destiny that's been waiting for him... if Harry can survive the encounter.

J. R. R. Tolkien - The ​Hobbit
Seldom ​has any book been so widely read and loved as J.R.R. Tolkien's classic tale, The Hobbit. Since its first publication in 1937 it has remained in print to delight each new generation of readers all over the world, and its hero, Bilbo Baggins, has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals: Alice, Pooh, Toad... As with all classics, repeated readings continue to bring new detail and perspectives to the reader's mind, and Tolkien's Middle-earth is a vast mine of treasures and knowledge, its roots delving deep into folklore, mythology and language. The Hobbit is, therefore, an ideal book for annotation: as well as offering a marvellous and entrancing story, it introduces the reader to the richly imagined world of Middle-earth, a world more fully and complexly realised in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

Neil Gaiman - Stardust
In ​the sleepy English countryside of decades past, there is a town that has stood on a jut of granite for six hundred years. And immediately to the east stands a high stone wall, for which the village is named. Here in the town of Wall, Tristran Thorn has lost his heart to the hauntingly beautiful Victoria Forester. One crisp October night, as they watch, a star falls from the sky, and Victoria promises to marry Tristran if he'll retrieve that star and bring it back for her. It is this promise that sends Tristran through the only gap in the wall, across the meadow, and into the most unforgettable adventure of his life.

J. K. Rowling - Harry ​Potter és a Főnix Rendje
A ​közelgő háború árnyékában a Főnix Rendjének tagjai a Black család ősi fészkének pompáját vesztett falai között gyűlnek össze, hogy megszervezzék a Voldemort elleni harcot. A Sötét Nagyúr ereje ugyanis egyre nő, gondolatai pedig baljós álmok formájában beférkőznek Harry elméjébe, és leleplezik, milyen emésztő vágyat érez arra, hogy megszerezzen valamit, amit a Misztériumügyi Főosztályon őriznek... A Roxfortra titkokkal és intrikákkal teli idők köszöntenek. Dolores Umbridge főinkvizítor, a Mágiaügyi Minisztérium megbízottja rendeletekkel szabályozza az iskolai élet legapróbb részleteit is, és igencsak megkeseríti Dumbledore és diákjai életét. Az igazgatóhoz hű, bátor roxfortosok azonban a háta mögött megalapítják Dumbledore Seregét, és megkezdik a felkészülést, hogy ha eljön az ideje, szembe tudjanak szállni a sötétség erőivel. Ennek a szemet gyönyörködtető illusztrált kiadásnak a lapjain a Kate Greenaway-díjjal kitüntetett Jim Kay és a BolognaRagazzi-díj nyertese, Neil Packer varázsolja elénk a kötet ikonikus jeleneteit és szereplőit.

George R. R. Martin - Trónok ​harca
A ​Trónok harca lebilincselő fantasy, amely klasszikus lovagkirályságot tár az olvasó elé: Westeros fölött valaha a sárkánykirályok uralkodtak, ám a Targaryen-dinasztiát 15 évvel ezelőtt elűzték, és most Robert Baratheon uralkodik hű barátai, Jon Arryn, majd Eddard Stark segítségével. A konfliktus középpontjában Deres urai, a Starkok állnak. Olyanok, mint a föld, ahol születtek: makacs, kemény jellemű család. Szemünk előtt hősök, gazemberek és egy gonosz hatalom története elevenedik meg. Ám hamar rá kell ébrednünk, hogy ebben a világban mégsem egyszerűen jók és gonoszok kerülnek szembe egymással, hanem mesterien ábrázolt jellemek bontakoznak ki előttünk különböző vágyakkal, célokkal, félelmekkel és sebekkel. Martin legnagyobb erőssége hogy meg tudja újítani, élettel tölti fel azt a műfajt, amit a sok populáris Tolkien-imitáció évtizedeken át klisék sorozatába fojtva ismételgetett. A jég és tűz dalának első kötete egy világteremtő fantasy eposz nagyszabású felütése.

J. R. R. Tolkien - The ​Lord of the Rings
J ​R. R. Tolkien THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING In a sleepy village in the Shire a young hobbit is entrusted with an immense task. He must make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ruling Ring of Power - the only thing that prevents the Dark Lord's evil...

George R. R. Martin - A ​Clash of Kings
The ​second novel of Martin's titanic Song of Ice and Fire saga (A Game of Thrones, 1996) begins with Princess Arya Stark fleeing her dead father's capital of King's Landing, disguised as a boy. It ends with the princess, now known as Weasel, having led the liberation of the accursed castle of Harrenhal. In between, her actions map the further course of a truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last 10 years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect by the scrupulous and unscrupulous alike. Standout characters besides Arya include Queen Cersei, so lacking in morals that she becomes almost pitiable; the queen's brother, the relentlessly ingenious dwarf Tyrion Lannister; and Arya's brother, Prince Brandon, crippled except when he runs with the wolves in his dreams. The novel is notable particularly for the lived-in quality of its world, created through abundant detail that dramatically increases narrative length even as it aids suspension of disbelief; for the comparatively modest role of magic (although with one ambitious young woman raising a trio of dragons, that may change in future volumes); and for its magnificent action-filled climax, an amphibious assault on King's Landing, now ruled by the evil Queen Cersei. Martin may not rival Tolkien or Robert Jordan, but he ranks with such accomplished medievalists of fantasy as Poul Anderson and Gordon Dickson. Here, he provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites?and this is only the second course of a repast with no end in sight. Author tour.

George R. R. Martin - A ​Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold
Reissued ​for September 2011 in B format. Split into two books for the paperback, the third volume in George R.R. Martin's superb and highly acclaimed epic fantasy A Song of Ice and Fire continues the richest, most exotic and mesmerising saga since The Lord of the Rings.

Beyond the Northern borders, wildlings leave their villages to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them South towards the Wall. Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown in the Kingdom of the North, but his defences are ranged against attack from the South, the land of House Stark's enemies the Lannisters. His sisters are trapped there, dead or likely yet to die, at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey or his depraved mother Cersei, regent of the Iron Throne. And Daenerys Stormborn will return to the land of her birth to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne.

George R. R. Martin - A ​Storm of Swords
The ​third volume of the high fantasy saga that began with A Game of Thrones and continued in A Clash of Kings is one of the more rewarding examples of gigantism in contemporary fantasy. As Martin's richly imagined world slides closer to its 10-year winter, both the weather and the warfare worsen. In the north, King Joffrey of House Lannister sits uneasily on the Iron Throne. With the aid of a peasant wench, Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, escapes from jail in Riverrun. Jaime goes to the other youthful ruler, Robb Stark, to secure the release of Joffrey's prisoners, Robb's sisters Arya and Sansa Stark. Meanwhile, in the south, Queen Daenarys tries to assert her claim to the various thrones with an army of eunuchs, but discovers that she must choose between conquering more and ruling well what she has already taken. The complexity of characters such as Daenarys, Arya and the Kingslayer will keep readers turning even the vast number of pages contained in this volume, for the author, like Tolkien or Jordan, makes us care about their fates. Those two fantasy greats are also evoked by Martin's ability to convey such sensual experiences as the heat of wildfire, the chill of ice, the smell of the sea and the sheer gargantuan indigestibility of the medieval banquet at its most excessive. Perhaps this saga doesn't go as far beyond the previous bounds of high fantasy as some claim, but for most readers it certainly goes far enough to command their attention.
