Before Adam
A young man in modern America is terrorized by visions of an earlier, primitive life. Across the enormous chasm of thousands of centuries, his consciousness has become entwined with that of Big-Tooth, an ancestor living at the dawn of humanity. Big-Tooth makes his home in Pleistocene Africa, a ferocious, fascinating younger world torn by incessant conflict between early humans and protohumans. Before Adam is a remarkable and provocative tale that thrust evolution further into the public spotlight in the early twentieth century and has since become a milestone of speculative fiction. The brilliance of the book lies not only in its telling but also in its imaginative projection of a mindset for early humans. Capitalizing on his recognized ability to understand animals, Jack London paints an arresting and dark portrait of how our distant ancestors thought about themselves and their world.

London - Élménygyűjtő
Merüljünk el a brit főváros, a Temze partján fekvő London hangulatában. A lenyűgöző Big Ben, a Buckingham-palota, a Westminsteri apátság, a Nemzeti Galéria mellett megannyi egyéb szórakozási lehetőségek, híres londoni kocsmák és bárok teszik feledhetetlenné londoni tartózkodásunkat.
Útikönyv-kínálatunk új sorozata, az Élménygyűjtő nem a nagyvárosok zsúfolt turistacélpontjaihoz kalauzolja az utazót, hanem sokkal inkább a városok valódi hangulatát, rejtett kincseit próbálja megismertetni vele. A sorozat legfrissebb kiadása ezúttal Nagy-Britannia történelmi és építészeti emlékeiben gazdag kulturális és gazdasági központjába, Londonba kíséri az utazás szerelmeseit. Tekintsük meg a királyi termeket a Buckingham-palotában, illetve a palota előtt álló szőrmesapkás katonák ősi szertartásait. Gyönyörködjünk a Victoria&Albert Múzeumban kiállított viktoriánus kori ruhákban, valamint ismerjük meg a divatőrültek legújabb trendjeit a Brick Lane piacon. Ha elfáradtunk, igyunk egy pint eredeti ale sört az egyik régi mayfairi sörözőben, vagy kóstoljunk nemzetközi ételeket a Wardour Streeten. Szintén remek kikapcsolódási lehetőségeket kínál a St James's Park. Béreljünk nyugágyat, és figyeljük a kacsákat, a libákat és az erre járó köztisztviselőket. Ha kedvünk támad vásárolgatni, egy finom ebédre vagy vacsorára, romantikához, családi programhoz, nevezetességekhez vagy csak egyszerűen belefeledkezni az utca forgatagába, kiadványunk számos lehetőséggel szolgál.
