Romeo loves Juliet. Or Rosaline. And Juliet loves Romeo. Or Viola. Or Orlando. It's Shakespeare as you've never played him before. In this choose-your-own-path version of "Romeo and Juliet," you choose where the story goes every time you read! What if Romeo never met Juliet? What if Juliet got really buff instead of moping around the castle all day? "What if they teamed up to take over Verona with robot suits?" Whatever your adventure, you're guaranteed to find lots of romance, lots of epic fight scenes, and plenty of questionable decision-making by very emotional teens. All of the endings there are over a hundred feature beautiful illustrations by some of the greatest artists working today, including "New York Times" bestsellers Kate Beaton, Noelle Stevenson, Randall Munroe, and Jon Klassen. Packed with exciting choices, fun puzzles, secret surprises, terrible puns, and more than a billion possible storylines, "Romeo and/or Juliet" offers a new experience every time you read it. You can choose to play as Romeo or Juliet (obviously) but you can also play as both of them, or as Juliet's nurse, or, if you're good, you can even unlock a fourth playable character! That's right. We figured out how to have unlockable characters in books. Choose well, and you may even get to write the world's most awkward choose-your-own sex scene."

Get ready to make history better... on the second try. Imagine you are stranded in the past (your time machine has broken) and the only way home is to rebuild civilization yourself. But you need to do it better and faster this time round. In this one amazing book, you will learn How to Invent Everything. Ryan North -- bestselling author, programmer and comic book legend -- provides all the science, engineering, mathematics, art, music, philosophy, facts and figures required for this challenge. Thanks to his detailed blueprint, humanity will mature quickly and efficiently - instead of spending 200,000 years stumbling around in the dark without language, not realising that tying a rock to a string would mean we could navigate the entire world. Or thinking disease was caused by weird smells. Fascinating and hilarious, How To Invent Everything is an epic, deeply researched history of the key technologies that made each stage of human history possible (from writing and farming to buttons and birth control) - and it's as entertaining as a great time-travel novel. So if you've ever secretly wondered if you could do history better yourself, now is your chance to find out how.

Az ötös számú vágóhíd a világirodalom egyik legjelentősebb, egyszersmind legkülönösebb háborúellenes műve, melyet 1969-es megjelenése óta széleskörű kultusz övez. Kurt Vonnegut részben személyes tapasztalatait felhasználva, sci-fi elemekkel (időutazással és repülő csészealjakkal) színesítve, szarkasztikus humor és kíméletlenül őszinte társadalomkritika mentén dolgozta fel a XX. századi Európa egyik legvéresebb eseményének, Drezda 1945-ös bombázásának tragédiáját. A történet főszereplője, Billy Pilgrim a második világháború káoszában váratlanul "elszabadul az időben". Hősünk szakadatlanul ingázik múlt és jövő, tébolyult valóság és burjánzó fantázia, képtelen karakterek és abszurd szituációk között - kalandos útja Drezda romjaitól a háború utáni Amerikán át egészen távoli Tralfamador bolygóig vezet, ahol Billy megtanulja, hogy a halál jelentéktelen, a szabad akarat pedig merő illúzió. Vonnegut megkerülhetetlen klasszikusa ezúttal képregényként elevenedik meg, Ryan North szöveghű adaptálásában, valamint Albert Monteys olykor apokaliptikusan komor, máskor pszichedelikusan harsány, de mindig lenyűgöző rajzain keresztül.

The first-ever, critically acclaimed graphic novel adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five now available in softcover! Centering on the infamous firebombing of Dresden, Billy Pilgrim’s odyssey through time reflects the mythic journey of our own fractured lives as we search for meaning in what we fear most. Billy Pilgrim’s journey is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be fallibly human. An American classic and one of the world’s seminal antiwar books, Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five is faithfully presented in graphic novel form for the first time from Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!).
