The Great Gatsby (EN)
“Gatsby?” asked Daisy urgently. “What Gatsby?” Could it be the same young army lieutenant whom Daisy Fay met five years ago – and who owns a sumptuous house on Long Island, where New York society enjoys the best parties on offer? Is it just coincidence that Gatsby lives across the bay from Daisy – now married to wealthy polo-player Tom Buchanan? As one man’s mysterious dream moves towards its ultimately tragic conclusion, Midwesterner Nick Carraway is drawn into the dark world of Gatsby’s past and present – a world of hidden frustrations and superficial relationships which perfectly illustrates the “careless and confused” nature of America’s Jazz Age.

Én, Mátyás király
Gáspár Ferenc legújabb könyvében különleges utazásra invitálja az olvasót: egyes szám első személyben beszélteti hősét, a mindmáig legnépszerűbb magyar uralkodót, Mátyás királyt, mégpedig úgy, hogy időnként magunk sem tudjuk Mátyás-e az, aki mesél nekünk, vagy Lebersit, a király udvari bolondja. Ők ketten ugyanis – akárcsak Arany János vígballadájában, a Pázmán lovagban –, gyakran kicserélik egymást ebben a bűnügyi regényre is hajazó műben.
A szerző megidézi a haldokló Mátyás lelkivilágát, ahogyan cselekedeteinek, döntéseinek mozgatórugóit felfedi, és amikből kiviláglik a nagy király stratégiája, életfilozófiája és életszeretete.
Mindezzel együtt egy izzig-vérig mai történetet olvashatunk, egy olyan regényt, melyben a főhős ugyanolyan magányos döntéseiben, akárcsak a ma embere.
Az Én, Mátyás király nem folytatása a korábbi műveknek – Janus, Galeotto –, ám azoknak a regényeknek a szereplői szintén feltűnnek a regényben.
S ha a Galeotto, Berka Attila, a könyv szerkesztője szerint a szerző lírai ars poeticája, akkor az Én, Mátyás király annál inkább az.
