Do pekel
Více než dvě století poté, co třetí světová válka otrávila planetu, žije poslední bašta lidstva na mohutných levitujících lodích kroužících kolem zeměkoule a hledajících obyvatelnou oblast, kterou by mohli nazývat domovem.
Stárnoucí a zastaralé lodě se z většiny už dávno zřítily zpět na Zemi. Jediné, co drží poslední dvě lodě na obloze, jsou Pekelní potápěči – muži a ženy, kteří riskují své životy seskoky padákem na povrch, aby sehnali součástky, které lodě zoufale potřebují.
Když je jedna z dvojice posledních lodí poškozena elektrickou bouří, je tým Pekelných potápěčů vyslán do nepřátelské zóny zvané Hádes. Tam dole je však něco mnohem horšího než dávno zmutovaní tvorové objevení při minulých ponorech – něco, co zásadně ohrožuje křehčí než křehkou budoucnost lidstva…

The Witcher: Hús és tűz
Geraltot egy régi ismerőse megkéri, hogy derítsen fényt a lányával kapcsolatos rejtélyre, ám amint a szörnyvadász megérkezik, legnagyobb meglepetésére Kökörcsinbe botlik. A Vaják és a trubadúr hamarosan ismeretlen földekre indulnak és veszélyes és titokzatos helyre érkeznek tévedésből; ahol aztán lehetetlen feladatra vállalkoznak. A Vaják és egy helyi nőszemély vállvetve igyekeznek legyőzni a környéket megfertőző sötét erőket, és Geráltnak meggyőződése, hogy ezzel valóban jó célt szolgál. De hamarosan rá kell döbbennie, hogy csak nagyobb bajba sodorta magát, mert minden jel arra mutat, hogy ő a legfőbb gyanúsított...
A The Witcher, mely Andrzej Sapkowski Vaják c. fantasy sorozatából született, 2015-ben a közönség és a kritikusok által is leginkább elismert videójáték volt. Képregényünk bár a játék alapján készült, de benne attól és a Vaják könyvektől független, teljesen új történetet ismerhetnek meg az olvasók.
Ez a képregény-gyűjtemény a DARK HORSE The Witcher c. sorozatának 16-19. számát tartalmazza, Marianna Strychowska rajzaival és Aleksandra Motyka szövegével. A fordítást Kolozsvári Zsófia készítette.

Mostly Harmless (The hitch hiker´s guide to the galaxy)
Mostly Harmless: The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy Part Five The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has, in what we laughingly call the past, a great deal to say on the subject of parallel universes. Very little of this is, however, at all comprehensible to anyone below the level of Advanced God, and since it is now well-established that all known gods came into existence a good three millionths of a second after the Universe began rather than, as they usually claimed, the previous week, they already have a great deal of explaining to do as it is, and are therefore not available for comment at this time...VOLUME FIVE IN THE TRILOGY OF FIVE.

Arkham City - The Order of the World
The Joker's attack on Arkham Asylum left the long-standing Gotham establishment in ruin, most of the patients killed or missing, and only a handful of surviving staff-a few nurses, a gravely injured security guard, and one doctor. In the chaos of the assault, it is believed that several of the asylum's patients escaped and scurried off into the dark nooks and crannies of Gotham City. Now, these Arkhamites walk among us, and it's up to the Asylum's one remaining doctor, Jocasta Joy, to round up her former patients. Meet these Arkhamites: a woman with no face, a pyggy in search of perfection, a man who feels nothing and burns everything, a woman who must devour life to save herself, a man unfit for the waking world who looks instead for Wonderland, a body with more than one soul, a being unbound from time who lives in the present and the past, a boy who seeks the comfort of vermin, and the twisted man who sees them all for who they are. And witness the avenging angel who stalks them. This volume collects Arkham City: The Order of the World #1-6, the complete story by Dan Watters and Dani.

The Oxford Shakespeare: The Tempest (Oxford World´s Classics)
Performed variously as escapist fantasy, celebratory fiction, and political allegory, The Tempest is one of the plays in which Shakespeare's genius as a poetic dramatist found its fullest expression. Significantly, it was placed first when published in the First Folio of 1623, and is now generally seen as the playwright's most penetrating statement about his art.Stephen Orgel's wide-ranging introduction examines changing attitudes to The Tempest, and reassesses the evidence behind the various readings. He focuses on key characters and their roles and relationships, as well as on the dramatic, historical, and political context, finding the play to be both more open and more historically determined than traditional views have allowed.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

In the Eye of the Storm
A major study of Ukrainian art from 1900 to the mid-1930s - with loans from major museums in Ukraine, elsewhere in Europe, the United States (including MoMA) and Israel. How does artistic life flourish during revolution and conflict? Ukraine in the early 1900s endured unimaginable political upheaval, yet this became a period of true renaissance in Ukrainian art, literature, theatre and cinema. In the Eye of the Storm: Modernism in Ukraine, 1900-1930s presents the ground-breaking art produced in Ukraine in the early 20th century, focusing on the three key cultural centres of Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odesa.
Against a complicated socio-political backdrop of collapsing empires, World War I, the revolutions of 1917 with the ensuing Ukrainian War of Independence, and the eventual creation of Soviet Ukraine, several strands of distinctly Ukrainian art emerged. While emigres such as Sonia Delaunay and Alexander Archipenko found fame outside their homeland, the followers of Mykhailo Boichuk focused on Byzantine revivalism, and the artists of the Kultur Lige sought to promote the development of contemporary Yiddish culture. The first avant-garde exhibitions in Ukraine featured the radical art of Davyd Burliuk and Alexandra Exter, and the dynamic canvases of the Kyiv-based Cubo-Futurist Oleksandr Bohomazov.
In Kharkiv, Vasyl Yermilov championed the industrial art of Constructivism, while Vadym Meller, Anatol Petrytskyi, Oleksandr Khvostenko-Khvostov and Borys Kosarev revolutionized theatre design. The attempt to build a national identity in Ukraine resulted in a polyphony of styles and artistic developments across a full range of media - from oil paintings, sketches and sculpture to collages, cinema posters and theatre designs. Twelve internationally renowned scholars, including curators from the National Art Museum of Ukraine, bring to life this astonishing period of creativity in Ukraine and all the movements it encompassed.

The Last Quarter of the Moon
'A long-time confidante of the rain and snow, I am ninety years old. The rain and snow have weathered me, and I too have weathered them'
At the end of the twentieth century an old woman sits among the birch trees and reflects on the joys and tragedies that have befallen her people. A member of the Evenki tribe who wander the forests of north-eastern China, hers was a life lived in close sympathy with nature at its most beautiful and cruel.
Then, in the 1930s, the intimate, secluded world of the tribe is shattered when the Japanese army invades China. The Evenki cannot avoid being pulled into the brutal conflict that marks the beginning of the end of life as they know it.
'An atmospheric modern folk-tale, the saga of the Evenki clan of Inner Mongolia - nomadic reindeer herders whose traditional life alongside the Argun river endured unchanged for centuries... This is a fitting tribute to the Evenki by a writer of rare talent' Financial Times
