The Seven Moods of Craft Spirits
The second in the “Seven Moods” series, this little guide is destined to become the pocket bible to craft spirits for years to come.
Now is the most exciting time for craft spirits. Craft distilling is riding a perfect wave, as consumers look for provenance and heritage, drink less but better, and seek bespoke and original drinks rather than homogenous global brands. Gin distilling has become particularly popular in London, tequila is back in fashion, Cuban rum is making a resurgence, and great whiskies are being created everywhere, from France to Japan, Taiwan to Denmark.
Gone are the days of brand loyalty. Instead, drinkers are choosing from a portfolio of drinks to match where they are and what they are doing, from a relaxing gunpowder tea-based gin to a festive spiced rum, and from a contemplative single malt to a fiery absinthe.
Brought together in one accessible guide, here are 350 of the world’s most interesting and innovative spirits – whiskies, gins, vodkas, rums, brandies, liqueurs, poteens, tequilas, piscas, schnapps, and brandies/cognacs. Researched and written by leading whisky writer, Dominic Roskrow, each entry includes a specially commissioned drawing, tasting description, strength, distillery information, and spirit type.
Each chapter is devoted to seven different moods (Social, Adventurous, Poetic, Bucolic, Contemplative, Gastronomic, Imaginative), and alongside the entries there are numerous useful features on related subjects, including gin and whisky distilleries, spirit bars, whisky festivals, craft distillers, and mixing spirits and food.

Szinetár - Önéletrajz-szerűség és egyebek
"Volt egy színdarab, abban egy öreg kínait játszott Páger Antal. A darab sok képből állt, és minden kép végén kijött az öreg. Feltette a nézőknek a kérdést:
- Tanulság? - és rögtön felelt: - Nincs!!!
Ez gyakran így igaz. De ha bevallja az ember, ha nem, az írások jó részét mégiscsak a tanulságért írják. Tehát hogy is volt? A csúcson és a padlón. Fent és lent."
"Megállítottam a próbát és bekértem az ügyelőt a színpadra.
- Mi volt ez? Miért lőttél már a második felvonásban?
Mire az ügyelő sápadtan közölte:
- Nem én lőttem, az utcán lőttek!
1956. október 23-án így ért véget a Mágnás Miska főpróbája.
A színház előtt az utcán még beszélgettem Latabár Árpáddal, aki egy melegszívű, nagyon okos ember volt. Nyugtatgatott, hogy ne izgassam magam. rossz főpróba, jó premier. Ott álltam a Jászai-díjammal, a rendezői címemmel, és alig volt pár fillér a zsebemben. Kölcsönkértem Latabár Árpádtól, aki adott száz forintot. Ez a száz forint megmentette az életünket. ugyanis másnap korán reggel még lehetett vásárolni élelmiszert, aminek már igencsak híján voltunk. nem sokkal azután a Villányi utat lezárták, harcok folytak a szomszédban. Ott volt a légvédelmi parancsnokság, nem tudtunk kimozdulni két napig. Ha Latabár nem ad pénzt, akkor lehet, hogy éhen halunk. a kis üzlet reggel még nyitva volt, de a lövöldözésre bezárt. A feleségem az utolsó pillanatban vásárolt."
"... A bérkocsis utcából a József körúton mentem a közeli nemzeti színházba, de nem működött még a közvilágítás. baktattam a körúton a koromsötétben, és megérkeztem a nemzetibe, ahol felment a függöny, és valami gyönyörű, ragyogó csodavilágot láttam, kontrasztját a förtelmes, sötét, romos körútnak. Azóta nem bírom elviselni színházban a lekoszlott, direkt vacak látványt, ami egy későbbi, békebeli, jól élő generációnak sokáig a kedvenc stílusa volt. a magamfajta háborús gyerek még mindig elvárja, hogy ha fölmegy a függöny a színházban, akkor a látvány valamilyen formában megkapó legyen."
"Az ember nyilván elfogult a saját édesapja életrajzával kapcsolatban. hiszen ez az én történetem is. A családomé. És közben azt gondolom, nemcsak amiatt volt fantasztikus élmény olvasni, mert hozzám közel álló emberekről szól, hanem mert rólunk szól. Rólunk, a XX. század magyar szülötteiről..." - Szinetár Dóra
Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits 2
Faced with the choice of being married to a strange spirit or being made into dinner, Aoi decides to create a third option for herself!
Aoi Tsubaki inherited her grandfather's ability to see spirits-and his massive debt to them! Now she's been kidnapped and taken to Kakuriyo, the spirit world, to make good on his bill. Her options: marry the head of the inn her grandfather trashed, or get eaten by ayakashi. But Aoi isn't the type to let spirits push her around, and she's determined to redeem her grandfather's IOU on her own terms!
Aoi's having no luck finding a job at the Tejin-ya inn, but a chance encounter with the tengu Matsuba might give her another option! Her home cooking and kind manner impress the crow demon, and when he finds out why she's in Kakuriyo, he offers to welcome her into his family as a daughter-in-law to pay off her debt! Can the still unemployed Aoi afford to turn down such a generous offer?

Verekedő hegyek között
Robert C. Castel Izraelben élő biztonságpolitikai szakértő különleges erénye, hogy közel-keleti szemüvegen át nézi a világunk történéseit. Szenvtelenül értekezik háborúról, geopolitikáról, világrendváltásról, miközben tudja, az álszent moralizálásra a lőtéri kutya sem kíváncsi. Nehéz meghatározni jelen kötet műfaját. Talán szépirodalmi mű csúnya dolgokról. Erőssége az a fajta képes beszéd, aminek mesterei a közel-kele-ti emberek, gondoljunk csak a prófétákra, zsoltárosokra, Jézus Krisztusra meg az apostolokra, akik képekkel és példázatokkal tették hallhatóvá a halhatatlant. A kötetben található történet és képgyűjtemény kiegészül napjaink legfőbb tanulságaival, a világrendváltás korképével, és a nagy-hatalmak sűrű hálójának feltérképezésével.
A fejezetek végén csokorba gyűjtöttük Robert C. Castel klasszikus népi bölcsességeit, jó tanácsait, mint például, hogy Japán hamarább lesz öreg, mint gazdag, a túl sok és a túl kevés ellenség is probléma, és hogy addig moralizálj, ameddig a szuronyod ér! Miközben a kötet készült, 2023. október 7-én a Hamász összehangolt terrortámadás-sorozatot indított Izrael ellen. Robert C. Castel testközelből élte át a háború borzalmait. Az utolsó fejezetben részletesen feldolgozzuk a háború első napjait,
a tragédia okait, és a várható következményeket.
Mark Rydens Super Spirit Animals
Mark Ryden returns with 20 new incredible portraits of creatures.
From his Snow Yak to his very personal interpretation of the California bear, for more than 20 years Mark Ryden has populated an incredible "pop surrealist" bestiary of half-animal, half-plush creatures. Freely inspired by the Rushton toys that enjoyed their heyday in America in the '60s and '70s, these creatures are now the object of a cult worship among fans of the artist, and are one of his marks of distinction in the world of contemporary art.
This book reveals the details and backgrounds of the 20 new paintings Mark Ryden has created for his 2020's show at Emmanuel Perrotin's gallery in Shanghai, but also some of his most iconic master-pieces showcasing yaks and others creatures of his own mythology.
With a statement essay from the artist and an introduction by Takashi Murakami ("the Warhol of Japan"), this "little pink book" will become an instant classic for the lovers of contemporary art and surrealism.

Spirit Level
Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett's "The Spirit Level: Why Equality is Better for Everyone" is the most influential and talked-about book on society in the last decade - now updated with a new chapter on the controversy the book has ignited. Why do we mistrust people more in the UK than in Japan? Why do Americans have higher rates of teenage pregnancy than the French? What makes the Swedish thinner than the Australians? The answer: inequality. This groundbreaking book, based on years of research, provides hard evidence to show: How almost everything - from life expectancy to mental illness, violence to illiteracy - is affected not by how wealthy a society is, but how equal it is; that societies with a bigger gap between rich and poor are bad for everyone in them - including the well-off; how we can find positive solutions and move towards a happier, fairer future. Urgent, provocative and genuinely uplifting, "The Spirit Level" has been heralded as providing a new way of thinking about ourselves and our communities, and could change the way you see the world.

Spirit of Science Fiction
A tale of bohemian youth on the make in Mexico City from a master of contemporary fiction, and a sublime precursor to The Savage Detectives
Two young poets, Jan and Remo, find themselves adrift in Mexico City. Obsessed with poetry, and, above all, with science fiction, they are eager to forge a life in the literary world--or sacrifice themselves to it. Roberto Bolano's The Spirit of Science Fiction is a story of youth hungry for revolution, notoriety, and sexual adventure, as they work to construct a reality out of the fragments of their dreams.
But as close as these friends are, the city tugs them in opposite directions. Jan withdraws from the world, shutting himself in their shared rooftop apartment where he feverishly composes fan letters to the stars of science fiction and dreams of cosmonauts and Nazis. Meanwhile, Remo runs headfirst into the future, spending his days and nights with a circle of wild young writers, seeking pleasure in the city's labyrinthine streets, rundown cafés, and murky bathhouses.
This kaleidoscopic work of strange and tender beauty is a fitting introduction for readers uninitiated into the thrills of Roberto Bolano's fiction, and an indispensable addition to an ecstatic and transgressive body of work.

Craft Spirit World
Distillation is as close as mankind has come to alchemy: turning everything from the humble potato to run-of-the-mill corn into glorious liquor. But there's nothing like industrialisation to suck the soul out of a process % and, with their vast column stills and bulk-buy mentality, that is exactly what the spirit-industry behemoths have managed to do. Cue the micro-distiller - a new breed of artisan producer reigniting our love of spirits and making drinks of quality rather than quantity. Artisan spirits can not only taste better, but each microdistiller has a tale to tell about the ingredients or the dream that led them to lovingly coax each drop of spirit from still to bottle. And we all love a good story. In "Craft Spirit World", over 100 of the best examples on the market of gin, vodka, rum, whisky, bourbon, cognac and more are revealed, coming from producers dotted across the globe - from New Zealand and South Africa to Scotland, Italy, Canada and the United States. Each entry then covers the history behind the drink, where to get it and, most importantly, what it tastes like

The Spirit Of Rum
Three different spellings (rum, rhum, ron) for just one spirit: the one which comes from the Caribbean and the first American colonies of the seventeenth century. This book will lead you to discover this extraordinary spirit obtained from the distillation of cane sugar (agricultural) or molasses (industrial), introducing you to the history, production methods, and different styles (Spanish, British, Jamaican, French) existing today. In fact, there are very many types of rum, which differ in fermentation times, distillation equipment used, and aging: it is a varied world that this guide will help you to know and to understand.
The most recognized rums sold today will be illustrated in 40 profiles, tracing their characteristics and describing their taste and colour. For each of them, a cocktail recipe will be proposed showing its ideal use. Furthermore, the final section will suggest a selection of classical or innovative cocktails based on rum and will give you all the information necessary to prepare them easily.
This is also thanks to splendid photographs by Fabio Petroni, a master of the still-life genre.
