Ulysses
"Az "Ulysses", mint maga a szerző mondja: minden. Tragédia, regény, szatíra, komédia, eposz, filozófia. Szintézis. Az egész világ a maga rendezett rendszertelenségében, vagy rendszertelen rendezettségében, felbontva, összefoltozva, ahogy egy hétköznapi ember agyán átcsurog; felidéz átélt, olvasott, hallott gondolatokat és képzeteket, aztán eltűnik, de nem nyomtalanul, mert újra feltűnik, mint szín vagy részlet, vagy ha szín és részlet volt, mint mozgató erő, vagy központi probléma." (Hamvas Béla, 1930)
"Joyce-nak az egész világon igen nagy tekintélye volt, mint sok mindenkinek, akit senki sem ért meg, de senki sem meri bevallani. Ha valaki intellektuális körökben megkockáztatta kifogásait, lenéző mosolyok fogadták. Most már meghalt; halottakról vagy jót, vagy semmit. Most már talán sohasem szabad bevallani, hogy blöff volt az egész." (Szerb Antal, 1941)
"Noha Joyce megszállottja a reklám-közhelyekből, handlékból és szirupos érzelgésből összeragadt Dublin városának, érdeklődése mégis egyetemes: az egész világ, az egész és örök ember érdekli, nem egyetlen osztály, vagy egyetlen korszak. Teljesen különbözik a századforduló naturalizmusától abban is, hogy műve tele van forma-játékkal: minden fejezet más és más kompozíciós ötlettel dolgozik: van dráma és van egy szuszra leírt belső monológ, van viktoriánus-érzelmes stílus-paródia, és van egy óriás katekizmus - műve realitás-tartalma így sokkal, de sokkal inkább érvényesül, mintha egyenletes regényformába öntötte volna." (Szentkuthy Miklós, 1947)
"Joyce művében az európai kultúra abban a pillanatban látható, amikor irtózatos robajjal hullik, omlik szerteszét, s csak a törmelékek, a romok utalnak arra, hogy mindez valaha, ha egyáltalán, egységes egészként működött. Thomas Mann a zárt forma, James Joyce a nyitott forma apostola. Thomas Mann a hit mitikusa, s ezért olyan komoly, James Joyce a hitetlenség mitikusa, s ezért olyan derűs." (Nádas Péter, 1978/2000)
"Ő akkor semmihez se kapcsolódva hirtelen azt mondta: "Tudod, mit szerzek, András fiam?" A magas ember fölvonta magát. "No?" "Egy hatalmas James Joyce képet. - És aztán úgy, ahogy Marci úr a bajuszt mutatja: - Vumm! Az egész szobafalra!" (Esterházy Péter, 1979)
Az új magyar kiadás szövegében is új: Szentkuthy Miklós fordítását a Magyar James Joyce Műhely tagjai, Gula Marianna, Kappanyos András, Kiss Gábor Zoltán, és Szolláth Dávid dolgozták át. Az utószót Kappanyos András írta.

Watermelon
A hilarious and bittersweet tale of baby-blues and fruitless men. At twenty-nine, fun-loving, good-natured Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to her first baby, James visits her in the recovery room to tell her that he’s leaving her. Claire is left with a beautiful newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a body that she can hardly bear to look at in the mirror. So, in the absence of any better offers, Claire decides to go home to her family in Dublin. To her gorgeous man-eating sister Helen, her soap-watching mother, her bewildered father. And there, sheltered by the love of her (albeit quirky) family, she gets better. A lot better. In fact, so much better that when James slithers back into her life, he’s in for a bit of a surprise.

Weatherland
The story of English culture over a thousand years can be told as the story of changing ideas about the weather. Writers and artists across the centuries, looking up at the same skies and walking in the same brisk air, have felt very different things. In a sweeping panorama, Weatherland allows us to witness cultural climates on the move. The Anglo-Saxons before the Norman Conquest lived in a wintry world, writing about the coldness of exile or the shelters they must defend against enemies outdoors. The Middle Ages brought the warmth of spring; the new lyrics were sung in praise of blossom and cuckoos. It is hard to find a description of a rainy night before 1700, but by the end of the eighteenth century the Romantics will take a squall as fit subject for their most probing thoughts. There have been times when the numbers on a rain gauge count for more than a pantheon of aerial gods. There have been times for meteoric marvels and times for gentle breeze. The weather is vast and yet we experience it intimately, which is why Alexandra Harris builds her remarkable story from small evocative details. There is the drawing of a twelfth-century man in February, warming bare toes by the fire. There is the tiny glass left behind from the Frost Fair of 1684, and the Sunspan house in Angmering that embodies the bright ambitions of the 1930s. Harris catches the distinct voices of compelling individuals. Bloody cold, says Jonathan Swift in the slobbery January of 1713. Percy Shelley wants to become a cloud and John Ruskin wants to bottle one. Weatherland is a celebration of English air and a life-story of those who have lived in it. As we enter what may be the last decades of English weather as we know it, this is a history for our times.

A hátsó bejárat
Agatha Christie, húzódj félre! Kemény szex és botrány találkozik e ragyogóan szellemes krimiben.
Egy tengerparti falu, egy angol kúria, gazdag különcök családja és ugyanolyan sajátos szolgáik, egy elszánt detektív - minden összetevő együtt van egy kellemes, Agatha Christie-stílusú krimihez. De várjunk csak - Edward "Mitch" Mitchell nem Hercule Poirot, és A hátsó bejárat nem Az Ackroyd-gyilkosság. Mitch jóképű, huszonkét éves pasas, aki sosem hagyja, hogy a nyomozás egy pikáns randevú útjába álljon, akár a helyi rendőrséggel, akár a sajtóval, akár iskolai pajtásával és atlétatársával, Boy Morgannel dolgozik együtt, aki Watson szerepét játssza mellette, amikor éppen nem azzal vannak elfoglalva, hogy lefeküdjenek egymással.
Amikor Reg Walworthot holtan találják egy szekrényben, Sir James Eagle azonnal letartóztattatja szolgáját, Weekset a gyilkosságért. Mitch éles szeme azonban kézenfekvőbb lehetőségeket lát: a biszexuális sofőrt, Hibbertet, a fenségesen perverz Leonard Eagle-t, az eltűnt nemesi sarjat, Rexet, a szadista zsarut, Kenningtont, sőt magát Sir James Eagle-t is. Zsarolás, rendőri korrupció, kémlelőlyukak és titkos átjárók szédítő hálózata, vízisportok s a hátsó lépcsőkön és mindenütt megállás nélkül zajló orgia jellemzi e fontos, új tehetség égbekiáltóan kemény krimijét.

A Clockwork Orange: Critical Edition
Fully restored edition of Anthony Burgess' original text of A Clockwork Orange, with a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews
Edited by Andrew Biswell With a Foreword by Martin Amis
'It is a horrorshow story ...'
Fifteen-year-old Alex likes lashings of ultraviolence. He and his gang of friends rob, kill and rape their way through a nightmarish future, until the State puts a stop to his riotous excesses. But what will his re-education mean?
A dystopian horror, a black comedy, an exploration of choice, A Clockwork Orange is also a work of exuberant invention which created a new language for its characters. This critical edition restores the text of the novel as Anthony Burgess originally wrote it, and includes a glossary of the teen slang 'Nadsat', explanatory notes, pages from the original typescript, interviews, articles and reviews, shedding light on the enduring fascination of the novel's 'sweet and juicy criminality'.
Anthony Burgess was born in Manchester in 1917 and educated at Xaverian College and Manchester University. He spent six years in the British Army before becoming a schoolmaster and colonial education officer in Malaya and Brunei. After the success of his Malayan Trilogy, he became a full-time writer in 1959. His books have been published all over the world, and they include The Complete Enderby, Nothing Like the Sun, Napoleon Symphony, Tremor of Intent, Earthly Powers and A Dead Man in Deptford. Anthony Burgess died in London in 1993.
Andrew Biswell is the Professor of Modern Literature at Manchester Metropolitan University and the Director of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. His publications include a biography, The Real Life of Anthony Burgess, which won the Portico Prize in 2006. He is currently editing the letters and short stories of Anthony Burgess.
25 Impressionism
Luscious dabs of color and light. This title deals with art history's most delightful movement. Impressionism continues to be one of the most fascinating movements in the history of modern art. It is also the most popular with the general public. Proof of this has been provided in recent years by blockbuster exhibitions of the works of Degas, Gauguin, van Gogh, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Monet, and by record sums realized from the sale of Impressionist paintings. Despite its popularity and a whole host of publications - the majority of them about the most famous names - many areas of Impressionism are still under-researched. Many "second rank" Impressionists have remained unknown or have sunk into oblivion. This monograph fills the gap, as it explores French Impressionism alongside related art movements that flourished simultaneously in the rest of Europe and North America. Part 1 deals with Impressionism in France, including Post- and Neo-Impressionism. As well as discussing the most renowned artists, its aim is to introduce others who are still little-known today. Among them are the long underrated Gustave Caillebotte, represented by 17 paintings, and artists such as Frederic Bazille, Marie Bracquemond, Henri-Edmond Cross, Jean-Louis Forain, Eva Gonzales, Armand Guillaumin, Albert Lebourg, Stanislas Lepine, Maximilien Luce, Berthe Morisot, Lucien Pissarro, Jean-Francois Raffaelli, Henri Rouart, and Victor Vignon. The eight chapters of part 2 focus on paintings inspired by French Impressionism and produced in parallel in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Scandinavia, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, the USA and Canada. Rarely did painters in these countries slavishly copy the ideas emerging from France. Instead, most non-French artists found astonishingly original ways of translating them into the artistc language of their native lands.

Az egész világ lélegzet-visszafojtva figyeli az események alakulását, de Bennettre egy még nagyobb teher is nehezedik: felesége súlyos beteg. S miközben a nyomozónak tíz nevelt gyermekével együtt meg kell birkóznia az elfogadhatatlannal, sürgősen megoldást kell találnia a túszdrámára is, különben ő lesz a felelős New York város újabb tragédiájáért...

The Complete Short Stories: Volume Two
The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the second of two unsettling and sinister volumes. "Dahl finds the child in the adult and the adult in the child and, with a little smile, he sticks the knife in both". (Anthony Horowitz, from his introduction). Roald Dahl is one of the world's most popular writers, equally at home writing for both children and adults. In this, the second of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we experience Dahl's dark and powerful imagination in full flight in 28 stories written between 1954 and 1988 (including eight tales which are not available in any other printed edition). Here, in 'Parson's Pleasure', a piece of furniture is the subject of a deceitful bargain; in 'William and Mary', a wife revenges herself on her dead husband; and in 'Royal Jelly' some new parents find an unusual and unsettling way to give their newborn its start in life. Whether you're young or old, once you've stepped into the brilliant, troubling world of Roald Dahl, you'll never be the same again. "One of the most widely read and influential writers of our generation". (The Times). "The absolute master of the twist in the tale". (Observer). Look out for Volume One, introduced by Charlie Higson. Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.
The Complete Short Stories: Volume One
The Complete Short Stories of Roald Dahl in the first of two unsettling and sinister volumes. "They are brutal, these stories, and yet you finish reading each one with a smile, or maybe even a hollow laugh, certainly a shiver of gratification, because the conclusion always seems so right". (Charlie Higson, from his introduction). Roald Dahl is one of the most popular writers of the modern age, effortlessly writing for children and adults alike. In this, the first of two volumes chronologically collecting all his published adult short stories, we see how Dahl began by using his experiences in the war to write fiction but quickly turned to his powerful and dark imagination to pen some of the most unsettling and disquieting tales ever written. In 27 stories, written between 1944 and 1953, we encounter such classic tales as 'Man from the South', featuring a wager with appalling consequences; 'Lamb to the Slaughter', in which a wife murders her husband yet has a novel idea for throwing the police off the scent; and in 'The Sound Machine', the horrific truth about plants is revealed. Enter the sinister, twisted world of Roald Dahl: whether you're young or old, you'll never want to leave. "Roald Dahl is one of the few writers I know whose work can accurately be described as addictive". (Irish Times). "The great magician". (Spectator). Look out for Volume Two, introduced by Anthony Horowitz Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson.

And the Ass Saw the Angel
Nick Cave's And The Ass Saw the Angel - part of the limited edition PENGUIN STREET ART series: timeless writing, enduring design.
Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both . . .
'As if a Faulkner novel had been crossed with Whistle Down the Wind and then narrated by a stoned blues musician' Daily Telegraph
Nick Cave was born in Australia in 1957. He moved to London with his band The Birthday Party in 1980. Four years later he founded The Bad Seeds, with whom he has made many albums. The fifteenth, Push the Sky Away, was released to great acclaim in February 2013. Cave has also written the music for several films including The Assassination of Jesse James and Lawless. And the Ass Saw the Angel was first published in 1989 and quickly became a cult classic. His second novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, was published in 2009.
The PENGUIN STREET ART series marries timeless writing with enduring design. Some of the world's leading street artists have designed new covers especially for ten classic contemporary books from Penguin: Hawksmoor by Peter Ackroyd / Armadillo by William Boyd / And The Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave / What a Carve Up by Jonathan Coe / Americana by Don DeLillo / Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris / The Reluctant Fundamentalistby Mohsin Hamid / The Believers by Zoe Heller /How to Be Good by Nick Hornby / Lights out for the Territory by Iain Sinclair
