Júlia
Amikor Julie Jacobs egy kulcsot örököl egy páncéldobozhoz, amelyért Sienába kell mennie, megtudja, hogy a kulcs birtokában régi családi kincshez juthat. Hamarosan kanyargós és veszélyes útra indul őse, Giulietta élettörténetében, akinek egy Rómeó nevű ifjú iránti legendás szerelme alapjaiban rengette meg a középkori Sienát. Miközben sorra megismerkedik azoknak a családoknak a leszármazottaival, akik között véres viszály dúl Shakespeare drámájában, fokozatosan ráébred, hogy az átok -"Pusztuljon mindkét család!" - továbbra is él, s hogy ő a következő célpont. Balsorsától egyvalaki mentheti meg Julie-t, mégpedig Rómeó - de hol van ő?
The Physics of Sorrow
In the small and the insignificant - that's where life hides, that's where it builds its nest.
Our unnamed narrator is not well. He suffers from attacks of 'pathological empathy', which cause him to wander unbidden into other people's memories. He moves from recollection to recollection - from a Bulgarian country fair in 1925, where he meets a Minotaur, to inside the mind of a slug, as it is swallowed by his own Grandfather.
Part family history, part coming-of-age story, part meditation on life in Communist Europe, The Physics of Sorrow is a dazzlingly inventive, mind-expanding novel from one of Europe's most important writers.

The Food of Italy
Claudia Roden travelled up and down Italy for a year, through every region, taking in city and countryside, to discover the local specialities on their home ground. She visited the kitchens of both professional and private cooks, watching them at work and listening to their stories. From simple and rustic to grand bravura, the recipes she collected and tested represent traditional regional dishes as they are cooked today in Italy, and as they can now be cooked in our own kitchens, with ease and delight.
The food of the Italian regions - simple, unaffected but fresh and full of flavour - is the kind of food we all want to eat today. Made up of over 300 recipes, Claudia Roden's timeless and enchanting book is set against a backdrop of the story of Italy and its people - 'a splendid history, geography and cooking lesson rolled into one'.
