The Upside-Down World
A charming and highly personal introduction to the artists of the Dutch Golden Age
Twenty years ago, Benjamin Moser followed a love affair to an ancient Dutch town. In order to make sense of this new place, he threw himself into the Dutch museums. Soon, he found himself unearthing the strange, inspiring and sometimes terrifying stories of the artists who shaped one of the most luminous moments in the history of human creativity, the Dutch Golden Age.
As he explored the hidden world of the Dutch Masters (and one Mistress), Moser met a crowd of fascinating personalities: the stormy Rembrandt, the intimate Ter Borch, the mysterious Vermeer. Through their art, he got to know their country, too: from Pieter Saenredam's translucent churches to Paulus Potter's muddy barnyards, and from Pieter de Hooch's cozy hearths to Jacob van Ruisdael's tragic trees. Over the years, Moser found himself on increasingly intimate terms with these centuries-dead artists, and found that they, too, were struggling with the same questions he was. Why do we make art? What is art, anyway - and what is an artist? What does it mean to succeed as an artist, and what does it mean to fail?
The Upside-Down World is an invitation to ask these questions, and to turn them on their heads: to look, and then to look again. It is a brilliant, colourful and learned book for anyone, whether lifelong scholar or curious tourist, who has ever felt the lure of the Dutch galleries. It shows us art, and artists, as we have never seen them before.

Marvel Comics Library. Silver Surfer. Vol. 1. 1968-1970
Introduced by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the fertile pages of The Fantastic Four, the Silver Surfer quickly established himself as one of Marvel’s most far-out characters. Enslaved by Galactus to prowl the cosmos for the demi-god’s next planet-sized meal, the Surfer was as tragic a figure as any in comics?and he looked impossibly cool at the same time!
A smash hit with fans and a regular supporting character in Fantastic Four, the character struck a creative nerve with Lee, who couldn’t wait to begin to tell some Surfer solo stories, but the timing had to be right.In the spring of 1968, things came together for both writer and character, with Lee giving the Surfer Marvel’s very first ongoing double-sized book. Lee also recruited artist John Buscema, who had recently been lending his extraordinary pencils to The Avengers. Together, they spun off a run of legendary tales that helped define the character forevermore.The feature stories from the entire 18-issue run of the 1968 Silver Surfer series are collected in this cosmic-sized XXL tome from the Eisner Award-winning Marvel Comics Library series. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.
Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing?as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing press. A custom paper stock was exclusively developed for this series to simulate the feel of the original comics.Texts by author and critic Douglas Wolk and Marvel artist and brother of John Buscema, Sal Buscema, accompany original artwork, photographs, and rare memorabilia.

Planet of the Apes
The original novel that inspired the films!
First published more than fifty years ago, Pierre Boulle’s chilling novel launched one of the greatest science fiction sagas in motion picture history.
In the not-too-distant future, three astronauts land on what appears to be a planet just like Earth, with lush forests, a temperate climate, and breathable air. But while it appears to be a paradise, nothing is what it seems.
They soon discover the terrifying truth: On this world humans are savage beasts, and apes rule as their civilized masters. In an ironic novel of nonstop action and breathless intrigue, one man struggles to unlock the secret of a terrifying civilization, all the while wondering: Will he become the savior of the human race, or the final witness to its damnation? In a shocking climax that rivals that of the original movie, Boulle delivers the answer in a masterpiece of adventure, satire, and suspense.

Lacná kniha Keresztanya (-70%)
A szerző nem véletlenül Németország és most már a magyar olvasók kedvence. Ezúttal ott folytatódik a történet, ahol az "Anyák maffiája" befejeződött. A nem kevésbé fordulatos és szellemes cselekményben - akár egy igazi Keresztapa - Constanze-Keresztanya és barátnői intrikus szupermamik, félrelépő férjek és egy gonosz, tartásdíjra éhes párocska ellen veszik fel a küzdelmet. Önzetlenül segítenek a bajba jutottakon s végül, ha nem is feltétlenül törvényes, ám mindenképpen ötletes eszközökkel igazságot szolgáltatnak. Mindeközben rendszeresen értesülünk a Bogárvárosi Mamiklub intrikus, ostoba anyukáinak apró-cseprő gondjairól, kicsinyes hajba kapásaikon továbbra is remekül szórakozunk, és bepillantást kapunk a sznob kertvárosi családok felszínes idillje alatt felbukkanó gondokba, csalódásokba. Németország modern női sikerírója felhőtlen humort, önfeledt szórakozást kínál. Az írónő gondolkodása, humora, problémalátása európaisága révén közel áll hozzánk - a cselekmény akár a szomszédunkban is játszódhatna. Könnyen ismerhetünk saját életünkre, ahol az édes sokszor keserű, a magasztosról kiderül, hogy kicsinyes, az erősről pedig, hogy gyámoltalan és gyenge. Ettől lesz a "Keresztanya" mélyen emberi és hitelesen mulatságos

Magyarország apróbetűs története
A Kossuth Kiadó a közelmúltban 24 kötetben kiadta a Magyarország története című sorozatot, amelyben szaktörténészek írták le a magyarság életét meghatározó eseményeket, a "nagybetűs történelmet". A könyvsorozat kapcsán készült népszerű televíziós sorozatban Nagy György apró, érdekes történeteket mesélt, amelyek nem meghatározóak, nem a legfontosabbak voltak népünk történelmében - csak érdekesek, színesek. Ezek az epizódok a történelemkönyvekben apró betűkkel szerepelnek, s ezeket a történeteket írja le nagy mesélőkedvvel, de a történészi hitelesség igényével az ismert televíziós. "Az ebben a kötetben olvasható 300 kis történet a magyar történelemről tulajdonképpen a tévésorozat epizódjainak szűkített, egyben kibővített változata, hiszen természetesen a forgatás után is hagytunk ki -időhiány miatt- egyes történeteket: sok bekezdést, mondatot, félmondatot húzatott ki velünk a szigorú, szoros műsoridőkorlát a vágószobában."

House of Odysseus
From the author of the critically acclaimed Ithaca - A Sunday Times Historical Fiction Book of the Year - comes an exquisite and gripping new tale that breathes life into ancient myth. This is the story of Penelope of Ithaca, famed wife of Odysseus, as it has never been told before.
On the isle of Ithaca, Queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband, Odysseus, sailed to war with Troy and never came home. In his absence, Penelope uses all her cunning to keep the peace - but this is shattered by the arrival of Orestes, king of Mycenae, and his sister Elektra.
Orestes's hands are stained with his mother's blood. Not so long ago, the son of Agamemnon took Queen Clytemnestra's life on Ithaca's sands. Now, racked with guilt, he is slowly losing his mind.
Penelope knows destruction will follow in his wake as surely as the Furies circle him. His uncle, Menelaus, the battle-hungry king of Sparta, longs for Orestes's throne - and if he can seize it, no one will be safe from his violent whims.
Trapped between two mad kings, Penelope fights to keep war from Ithaca's shores. Her only allies are Elektra and Helen of Troy, Menelaus's enigmatic wife. And watching over them all is the goddess Aphrodite, who has plans of her own.
Each woman has a secret. And their secrets will shape the world.

A Villa with a View : Book 11
Lia Bathurst had always dreamed of escaping to the white sandy beaches and turquoise blue seas of the Amalfi coast – but that dream hadn’t included meeting her real father. A father she had never even known about until a few weeks ago! Yet here she was, standing outside the gates of a gorgeous pink villa being refused entry by the insufferable – and insufferably handsome – Raphael Knight, her father’s business manager.
When an old black and white photo proves Lia’s claim to be true, Raph is determined to make sure this stranger, with her long caramel waves and infectious smile, doesn’t have an ulterior motive. Even if that means not letting her out of his sight.
As temperatures rise, and not just from the heat of the Mediterranean sun, could Lia and Raph’s forced proximity lead to something more like… amore?
