Monty Python Repülő Cirkusza I. kötet
"Végre! Ön a kezében tartja (vegye is meg!) a Monty Python-csoport 1969 és 1974 között készült negyvenöt tévéműsora közül az első huszonháromnak a hiteles fordítását! Ez a változat mind szellemiségében, mind tartalmában hű az eredeti, fenomenális műhöz. Nem csoda, hisz az én munkámat dicséri." (Galla Miklós)

Who can afford to be critical?
On the conditions and limits of critical thinking for design culture under capitalism
Design schools increasingly urge students to address social, political and environmental issues in their work. But who can afford to work in this way after graduation?
In a dynamic style that draws from multiple contributors, Who Can Afford to Be Critical? discusses the limits that affordability, class and labor impose upon the educational promise of holding a "critical" practice. Why do we tend to ignore the material and socioeconomic constraints that bind us as designers, claiming instead that we can be powerful agents of change? Instead of focusing on the dream of ethical work under capitalism, could we instead focus first on designers' own working conditions, as one immediate site for collective action? Over the course of four chapters, this publication delves into the modes of precarity in critical graphic work and possible paths toward emancipation from that position.

The Celtic Myths that Shape the Way We Think
How do myths that were deeply embedded in the customs and beliefs of their original culture find themselves retold and reinterpreted across the world, centuries or even millennia later? Focusing on ten myths that have had the greatest cultural impact and are the most relevant to our lives today, Mark Williams reveals the lasting influence of Celtic mythology, from medieval literature to the modern fantasy genre. Ten chapters recount the myths and explore the lasting influence of legendary figures including King Arthur, the Celtic figure who paradoxically became the archetypal English national hero; Cu Chulainn, the hero of the Tain, Ireland's great medieval epic, who became a symbol of the reborn Irish nation; the Irish and Scottish hero Finn, who as 'Fingal' caught the imagination of Napoleon, Goethe and Mendelssohn; and the Welsh mythical figure Blodeuwedd, magically created from flowers of the oak, who inspired Yeats.
Williams also explores the contentious use of mythic imagery in nationalist ideology, and how characters and concepts from Celtic legends have been relevant to past and present discussions on national identity. His elegantly written retellings capture the beauty of the original myths while also delving deeper into the history of their meanings, offering the reader an intelligent and engaging take on these powerful stories. Beautiful illustrations of the artworks these myths have inspired over the centuries are presented in a colour-plates section and in black-and-white within the text.
Mark Williams' mythological expertise and captivating writing style makes this book essential reading for anyone who appreciates the myths that have shaped our artistic and literary canons and continue to inspire today.

"Fellépése körülbelül egybeesett a Nyugat nagy nemzedékének fellépésével. Elso novelláskötete már 1900-ban megjelent, de elso sikerét csak 1911-ben érte el az Emberek a kövek közt c. regénnyel és az a muve, amelynek népszeruségét köszönhette, a Régi ház, 1915-ben jelent meg. A Nyugat-nemzedékkel nemcsak annyiban volt rokon, amennyire egy nemzedék tagjai elkerülhetetlenül rokonok szoktak lenni, ha tehetségesek: nyugatos volt a szó alapveto, a Nyugat-mozgalomtól független értelmében is, a nyugati irodalmak rajongója és követoje volt, és «nyugatos» volt muvészi szándékának mélyén is, a muvészetrol alkotott viziójában. Artisztikus író volt, a finom, lelkiismeretesen kidolgozott részletek, a tuno és csendes hangulatok, az önmagukért megbecsült ritka szavak és hasonlatok írója, dekoratív tehetség és a szó nemes értelmében dekadens.
Öncélú mondatokat írt, amelyek arra voltak rendelve, hogy ötvözött formásságukban a kontextusból kiszakítva is megállják a helyüket és megállítsák, elmerengésre hívják az olvasót, felkeltve benne a szépség szomorúságát és a távoli dolgok igézetét. Annak a stílusnak és stílusteremto életérzésnek volt a hordozója, amely legmagasabb szintjét Babits Mihály fiatalkori verseiben és Kosztolányi Dezso és Tóth Árpád költészetében érte el....
A világháború után az irodalmat elhagyta a politika kedvéért. A leheletszeru finomságok írónoje meglepoen aktív és energikus közéleti embernek bizonyult. Olyan aktívnak és energikusnak, hogy sokan el is fordultak Tormay Ceciletol, az írótól. Ekkor alapította a Napkelet címu folyóiratot, és ennek szellemi irányítója maradt haláláig. Mint szerkeszto, sokoldalúan megérto volt, munkatársait hatalmas közéleti befolyásával is jótékonyan támogatta." - Szerb Antal

War and Punishment
From heroic dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar, a journey into the myths and fantasies that led Russia to violence in Ukraine
'History is made up of myths,' writes the renowned Russian dissident journalist Mikhail Zygar. 'Alas, our myths led us to the fascism of 2022. It is time to expose them.' Drawing from his perilous career investigating the frontiers of the Russian empire, Zygar reveals how 350 years of propaganda, bad historical scholarship, folk tales and fantasy spurred his nation into war with Ukraine.
How did a German monk's fear of the Ottoman Empire drive him to invent the fiction of a united Russian world? How did corny spy novels about a 'Soviet James Bond' inspire Vladimir Putin to join the KGB? How did Alexander Pushkin's admiration for a poem by Lord Byron end with him slandering the legendary chief of the Cossacks? And how did Putin underestimate a rising TV comic named Volodymyr Zelensky, failing to see that his satire had become deadly serious, and that his country would be a joke no longer?
A noted expert on the Kremlin with unparalleled access to hundreds of players in the current conflict - from politicians to oligarchs, gangsters to comedians (not least Zelensky himself) - Zygar chronicles the power struggles from which today's politics grew, and digs out the essential truths from behind layers of seductive legend. By surveying the strange, complex record of Russo-Ukrainian relations, War and Punishment reveals exactly how the largest nation on Earth lost its senses. A work of history can't undo the past or transform the present, but sometimes it can shape the future.
In fact, that's how the story begins.
Loki
Step into the ancient fir-tree forests of Scandinavia and bear witness to legends as epic as those of the Greeks and the Romans.
Melvin Burgess revolutionised children's literature with the infamous cult novels Junk and Doing It. In his first adult novel, Loki, he breathes new life into Norse myths.
Starting with the Norse creation myths, the trickster god Loki takes the reader on a wild ride through Norse mythology, from the time the gods - the founders of Asgard - defeated races of monsters, and hurtling through famous stories, including Odin hanging himself on the World Tree, the theft of the corrupting gold ring and the murder of Baldr, the god of love and the Sun. This narrative may seem familiar enough at first, but the reader should beware.
Born within the heart of a fire in the hollow of a tree-trunk, Loki arrives in Asgard as an outsider. He is a trickster, an unreliable narrator, the god of intelligence and politics. In spite of his cleverness and sparkling wit (or, perhaps, because of this...) Loki struggles to find his place among the old patriarchal gods of supernatural power and is constantly at odds with the god of thunder - Thor.
Alongside the politics of Asgard, it charts the course of Loki's many loves and families, from his mothering of Odin's famous horse to his intense, turbulent, and, eventually, fatal relationship with Baldr the Beautiful - a tender and moving story of love that goes wrong, jealousy and a transitioning that is forbidden by society.
This is a retelling that is contemporary in tone, at once amusing and relatable. It is a heartfelt plea to overthrow the old gods of power and authority and instigate a new era ruled by love and intelligence.
Women Who Run With The Wolves
'Anyone who can read should read this book' Maya Angelou
'Estes points to storytelling, our ancient narratives, as a way for women to reconnect to the Wild Woman all women have within themselves, but have lost' Emma Watson
Go out in the woods, go out. If you don't go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin.
Within every woman, there lies a powerful force of energy, creativity and self-knowing: their wild woman. For centuries, she has been repressed by a male-orientated value system that trivialises her emotions. Until now.
With a combination of time-honoured stories, myths, fairy tales and casework, this is the feminist classic loved by over 2 million women, that will set you on a beautiful path to unleash your inner wild.
Magisteria
Science and religion have always been at each other’s throats, right?
Most things you ‘know’ about science and religion are myths or half-truths that grew up in the last years of the nineteenth century and remain widespread today.
The true history of science and religion is a human one. It’s about the role of religion in inspiring, and strangling, science before the scientific revolution. It’s about the sincere but eccentric faith and the quiet, creeping doubts of the most brilliant scientists in history – Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Maxwell, Einstein. Above all it’s about the question of what it means to be human and who gets to say – a question that is more urgent in the twenty-first century than ever before.
From eighth-century Baghdad to the frontiers of AI today, via medieval Europe, nineteenth-century India and Soviet Russia, Magisteria sheds new light on this complex historical landscape. Rejecting the thesis that science and religion are inevitably at war, Nicholas Spencer illuminates a compelling and troubled relationship that has definitively shaped human history.
