Jézusfaragó ember
Amikor Nyirő József 1924-ben, az ismeretlenségből előlépve, leteszi a Jézusfaragó ember c. novelláskötetét a magyar olvasóközönség asztalára, nem sejtheti, hogy olyan kötetet tett le e sokat látott „asztalra”, amelyet majdan többen a nyirői életmű csúcsának tartanak... Szokatlan dolog ez, mintha az operaénekes már az első fellépésén kiénekelné a magas C-t. Szokatlan és kényes, mert igaz ugyan, hogy lenyűgözi a közönséget, de egyúttal magasra is teszi a mércét. Hogy az éppen csak megszületett erdélyi magyar irodalom részéről erőteljes felütés volt ez a könyv, mi sem bizonyítja jobban, mint hogy olyan neves kritikusok méltatják lelkesen és elismerően, mint Németh László vagy Jancsó Béla. A tekintetben is mérföldkő e mű, hogy nyitánya egy olyan sorozatnak, amely rövid időn belül a két világháború közötti magyar irodalom egyik kedvenc témájává avatja a Trianonnal idegen impérium alatt rekedt Székelyföldet és székelységet. „A székelyek emelt elmével járnak. Nem barom mellett baktató parasztok ők, hanem Isten jobbjának árnyékai, kiknek értelme röptében táplálkozik, mint a fecske” - olvashatjuk mindjárt az első oldalon. És valóban, Nyirő székelyei e novellákban nem hétköznapi emberek, hanem mitikus hősök mitikus időben és térben. De a görögök óta tudjuk, hogy a mítoszok hőseinek élete távolról sem fenékig tejfel... Viszont lebilincselő olvasmány. A javából.

Burmese Days
Set in the days of the Empire, with the British ruling in Burma, Burmese Days describes both indigenous corruption and Imperial bigotry, when 'after all, natives were natives - interesting, no doubt, but finally only a "subject" people, an inferior people with black faces'. Against the prevailing orthodoxy, Flory, a white timber merchant, befriends Dr Veraswami, a black enthusiast for Empire. The doctor needs help. U Po Kyin, Sub- divisional Magistrate of Kyauktada, is plotting his downfall. The only thing that can save him is European patronage: membership of the hitherto all-white Club. While Flory prevaricates, beautiful Elizabeth Lackersteen arrives in Upper Burma from Paris. At last, after years of 'solitary hell', romance and marriage appear to offer Flory an escape from the 'lie' of the 'pukka sahib pose'.

Temporary Architecture
Temporary buildings can be both interim solutions that no longer serve a purpose at a specific point in time, or projects constructed for special occasions. In all instances, they take possession of a location for a certain time, giving it a new meaning and quality. Architects who create temporary architecture have to plan the disappearance of their work from the outset. The ephemeral nature of this architecture allows architects to focus in a very specific and precise way on what is essential and make very pointed architectural statements. The concept frequently transgresses the borderlines of architecture, art, design, and social intervention, which results in a very unique form of architectural freedom. The frequently experimental nature of temporary architecture provides novel perceptions of buildings, outdoor spaces, and rooms."

Two on a Tower
Then they proceeded to scan the sky, roving from planet to star, from single stars to double stars, from double to coloured stars...' Hardy's atmospheric, moving story of star-crossed lovers shows human beings at the mercy of forces far beyond their control, setting a tragic drama of human passion and conflict against a background of vast stellar space and scientific discovery. "Two on a Tower" tells the story of Lady Constantine, who breaks all the rules of decorum when she falls in love with the beautiful youth Swithin St Cleeve, her social inferior and ten years her junior. Together, in an ancient monument converted into an astronomical observation tower, they create their own private universe - until the pressures of the outside world threaten to destroy it. This is the Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.

The Deserter
Humans are weak and vulnerable. Soon the beasts that share their stone-age world will kill and eat them. To save his tribe, Stopmouth must make his way to the Roof, the mysterious hi-tech world above the surface. But the Roof has its own problems. The nano technology that controls everything from the environment to the human body is collapsing. A virus has already destroyed the Upstairs, sending millions of refugees to seek shelter below. And now a rebellion against the Commission, organized by the fanatical Religious, is about to break. Hunted by the Commission's Elite Agents through the overcrowded, decaying city of the future, Stopmouth must succeed in a hunt of his own: to find the secret power hidden in the Roof's computerized brain, and return to his people before it is too late. Peadar O Guilin has followed his extraordinary debut "The Inferior" with an equally original and pulse-racing sequel in which human primitivism collides with futuristic technology.

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
This revised and expanded edition of Tolkien's own Hobbit-inspired poetry includes previously unpublished poems and notes, and is beautifully illustrated by Narnia artist Pauline Baynes. 'Here is something that no devotee of the Hobbit epic can afford to miss, while awaiting a further instalment of the history of these fascinating people - a selection [of verses] offered as an 'interim report' to those interested in Hobbit-lore, and to any others who may find amusement in this mixed bag of old confections.' One of the most intriguing characters in The Lord of the Rings, the amusing and enigmatic Tom Bombadil, also appears in verses said to have been written by Hobbits and preserved in the 'Red Book' with stories of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins and their friends. The Adventures of Tom Bombadil collects these and other poems, mainly concerned with legends and jests of the Shire at the end of the Third Age. This special edition has been expanded to include earlier versions of some of Tolkien's poems, a fragment of a prose story with Tom Bombadil, and comprehensive notes by acclaimed Tolkien scholars Christina Scull and Wayne G. Hammond

I. sz. 256
Az árulás és a cselszövés vet baljós árnyat a Római Birodalomra. A kereszténység futótűzként terjed, az imperium nagy hatalmú, veszélyes emberek intrikáitól hangos.

Ballista hamarosan a cselszövés és a vallási fanatizmus hálójában találja magát...
Róma és a császár szolgálata végső próbára teszi bátorságát és hűségét.
Róma harcosa visszatér...

A Római Birodalom gazdasága
Az ókori Róma gazdaságáról utoljára több mint fél évszázada jelent meg átfogó munka magyar nyelven. Időközben hatalmas fejlődésen ment keresztül az ókortudomány ezen szakága, elsősorban a régészeti kutatások mennyiségi és minőségi fejlődésének köszönhetően. A Földközi-tengerből előkerült több mint 1500 hajóroncs például bebizonyította, hogy az imperium Romanum területén mindenhol, mindig, mindennel kereskedtek. A grönlandi jégmagok vizsgálata megmutatta, hogy a levegő nehézfém-szennyezettsége a római gazdaság csúcskorszakában, vagyis a Kr. u. 1-2. században akkora mértékű volt, mint az első ipari forradalom idején. Mindezek az adatok - más forrásokból (irodalmi szövegek, papiruszok, feliratok stb.) nyert információkkal kiegészítve - arra mutatnak, hogy az antik római gazdaság a gőzgép és az elektromosság feltalálása előtti premodern világ legfejlettebb gazdasága volt.
Kötetünk a legújabb szakirodalom alapján kísérli meg feldolgozni a római ökonómia három nagy szektora - mezőgazdasági és kézműipari termelés; feldolgozóipar; kereskedelem - mellett az ökológiai adottságok, a természeti erőforrások, a társadalom és a gazdaság, valamint a pénzügyek témakörét. A kötetet elsősorban a római történelem e kevéssé ismert, de annál izgalmasabb területe iránt érdeklődő olvasóknak, közülük is különösen az egyetemi hallgatóknak ajánljuk.

Az első világháború
Az első világháború nem csak európai katasztrófa volt. Világméretű öldöklés volt ez, amelyben sok ezer ázsiai és tengerentúli katonának kellett meghalnia az európai nagyhatalmak birodalmi téveszméiért. A konfliktus, amely négy impérium széthullásával végződött, egy új korszak kezdetét is jelöli: következményeként került hatalomra Lenin és Sztálin, valamint két évtizeddel később a náci barbárság. Kié a felelősség az első világháború kitöréséért, amelyet a britek és a franciák még mindig a "nagy háborúnak" neveznek? Ez a kérdés mindmáig sok történészt foglalkoztat.
Hírneves tudósok írják meg nézeteiket e könyvben - ahogy Hans-Ulrich Wehler bielefeldi történész nevezi - "a 20. század őskatasztrófájáról", és "a második harmincéves háború" nyitányáról.
