Metadoggoz
A wise-cracking visual dystopian feast. Gael Kaldera is a self-styled 'junkyard dog' who runs with his crew the Metadoggoz: a squad of teenage dirtbags living in the techno-megalopolis, the Metastation. With no place to crash after losing his friend s guitar, he drops a tab of 'metadoggo' at a late night rave with his friends and everything goes sideways. Strobing lights, teeming dance floors and endless skyscrapers form an eerie, futuristic backdrop for this daring, imaginative exploration of race, class, and belonging through the lens of youth culture and science-fiction. In Metadoggoz, Franco-Vietnamese cartoonist Berenice Motais de Narbonne constructs an uncomfortably familiar dystopia in which Gael and his friends slip in and out of our 'real' world in search of something better. Each shepherded by a guiding spirit, they navigate the indignities of daily life: homelessness, mental illness, violence, and yearning. Translated by Eisner Award winner Montana Kane, Metadoggoz reinvents the cyberpunk fairy tale in the vein of Tank Girl, Blade Runner, and Love & Rockets.

Szláv boszorkányság
Az orosz varázslás az isteneknek, szellemeknek és természeti erőknek az átlagemberek életébe történő beavatkozásán, valamint ezen erők irányításán alapszik. Bizonyossággal mondhatom, hogy az oroszok századok óta alkalmazzák a varázslást céljaik elérése érdekében. A varázslás szerves részét képezte az őseink által gyakorolt pogány hagyományoknak, e varázslás célját pedig az élet megsegítése, a gyógyítás, valamint a negatív energiáktól való megszabadulás jelentette. Őseink mindenféle varázslást alkalmaztak – az igéktől és bűbájoktól kezdve az üzleti és harci sikereket eredményező ráolvasásokig. Az orosz varázslás a pogányság és kereszténység szintézise. Máig élnek olyanok, akik a pogány ünnepségek megtartása mellett keresztény szent napokon varázsolnak. Ma is léteznek csomókra való suttogással átkozó vagy gyógyító boszorkányok. A varázslók valóban rendkívüli dolgokra képesek.

But Roz has held out hope that they can fix things . . . until she discovers that Vin has signed a new lease.
So she does what any soon-to-be-divorced Manhattanite would do: she signs up for figure drawing class.
Ignoring Vin's impending move-out date would be a lot easier if he wasn't her best-friends brother - and if he hadn't just offered to let her draw him. After all, that's known to make a separation easier, right? Focus on every detail of your estranged spouse's body while drawing them in the nude?
But after the year they've spent avoiding each other, it feels good to see and be seen by one another again. As Roz works to capture the wholeness of the person she fell in love with, will they both be able to draw upon the feelings they buried deep inside to finally heal together?
Repetition : A Novel
In a Norwegian November, when it is dark at waking and dark at sleeping, a novelist in her sixties sits next to a teenaged girl at the opera, and through their padded jackets feels a dreadfully familiar tension conducted from the parents seated on her far side. She thinks back to her sixteenth year. The year she first got drunk and the year she first had sex with a boy.
A year of being circled by an anxious, hawkish mother and, at a notable distance, her silent father. The year her family made an unspoken decision, and an unspeakable sacrifice.
Post-Imperial Possibilities
A history of three transnational political projects designed to overcome the inequities of imperialismAfter the dissolution of empires, was the nation-state the only way to unite people politically, culturally, and economically? In Post-Imperial Possibilities, historians Jane Burbank and Frederick Cooper examine three large-scale, transcontinental projects aimed at bringing together peoples of different regions to mitigate imperial legacies of inequality. Eurasia, Eurafrica, and Afroasia—in theory if not in practice—offered alternative routes out of empire. The theory of Eurasianism was developed after the collapse of imperial Russia by exiled intellectuals alienated by both Western imperialism and communism. Eurafrica began as a design for collaborative European exploitation of Africa but was transformed in the 1940s and 1950s into a project to include France’s African territories in plans for European integration. The Afroasian movement wanted to replace the vertical relationship of colonizer and colonized with a horizontal relationship among former colonial territories that could challenge both the communist and capitalist worlds. Both Eurafrica and Afroasia floundered, victims of old and new vested interests. But Eurasia revived in the 1990s, when Russian intellectuals turned the theory’s attack on Western hegemony into a recipe for the restoration of Russian imperial power. While both the system of purportedly sovereign states and the concentrated might of large economic and political institutions continue to frustrate projects to overcome inequities in welfare and power, Burbank and Cooper’s study of political imagination explores wide-ranging concepts of social affiliation and obligation that emerged after empire and the reasons for their unlike destinies.

Inside the Russian Revolution
This is the first republication of Rheta Childe Dorr’s book Inside the Russian Revolution (1917), accompanied by the editor’s research introduction and comments. Dorr (1866–1948) was a leading suffragette from Nebraska, studied at the University of Nebraska, before moving to New York as a journalist and first editor of The Suffragette. Living on the lower East Side, she became a socialist. She visited Russia during the first Russian revolution (1905–1907) and later covered the February Revolution of 1917 for the New York Evening Mail.Her book Inside the Russian Revolution (1917) depicts the overthrow of the tsar as a positive, democratic move with hope of a Russia following the American path to constitutional democracy. The evolution of revolutionary Russia from February to October changed not only Dorr’s perception of the Russian revolution as a phenomenon but her vision of socialism as well. In this sense, she was among the American radicals who contributed to American phenomenology of the 1917 Russian revolution but were not satisfied with its results. Being a prominent figure in the U.S. political and social life of her time, Rheta Dorr expanded the horizons of the Americans’ identity.Dorr is also known for other publications. In 1922, she assisted Anna Vyrubova, a lady-in-waiting, the best friend and the confidante of Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, with the writing of Vyrubova’s memoir, My Memories of the Russian Court. Thereafter, Dorr wrote her own memoir, A Woman of Fifty, published in 1924. Dorr moved from her autobiography to a biography of Susan B. Anthony, published in 1928, and completed her publishing activity in 1929 with a tome on the question of prohibition.
Beloved Son Felix
The wildly vivid, rare, and revealing journals of a sixteenth-century medical student. In 1552, sixteen-year-old Felix Platter left Basel, Switzerland, and journeyed 370 miles to Montpelier, France to study medicine. His journals chronicle five astonishing years of youth in a time of plague, war, and awakening. A Protestant in a Catholic kingdom, Felix witnessed blood-chilling executions and engaged in secret religious discussions with his landlord, a Marrano Jew. He learned to play the lute, tasted olive oil for the first time, and swam in the sea. He flirted (unsuccessfully) and danced (disastrously), fled from highway robbers, saw John Calvin preach, survived an outbreak of the bubonic plague, joined in a massive, orange-throwing food fight, acquired a dog, and spent one Christmas Eve alone and afraid of the dark. Most astonishing of all, he wrote it down. As Stephen Greenblatt writes in his introduction to this new edition, “Keeping diaries and writing autobiographies did not become a widespread practice until the mid-seventeenth century”—but Felix created an astonishing document: an intimate, sometimes hilarious chronicle of Renaissance adolescence from the inside, whose “vividness, intimacy, candor, and charm” lend it an “altogether rare and revealing character.”
Lidé ve tmě. Deníky z Terezína 1941-1943
Kniha Lidé ve tmě představuje unikátní soubor autentických deníkových záznamů, básní a povídek Pavla Fischla (později známého jako Gabriel Dagan), které vznikaly v letech 1941 až 1943 v protektorátní Praze a následně v terezínském ghettu. Tento literární poklad, který autorův syn Michael Dagan objevil až v roce 2023 v pozůstalosti svých rodičů patnáct let po otcově smrti, nabízí hluboký vhled do nejniternějších pocitů, úvah o sionismu i tvůrčích procesů mladého muže čelícího kruté realitě holokaustu. Publikace mj. uvádí na pravou míru historickou nepřesnost, kdy byl úryvek z Pavlova terezínského deníku v knize Motýli tady nežijí mylně připsán jeho jmenovci Petru Fischlovi, který zahynul v Osvětimi. Dílo tak slouží nejen jako cenné historické svědectví o životě v ghettu, ale i jako hold nezlomné lidské naději a síle uměleckého vyjádření, které Pavla doprovázelo i v jeho pozdějším životě významného izraelského dramatika a psychoterapeuta.
