Paris: The City of Lights (Pop-Up)
Discovering the city through the magic of Marsilio's pop-up series
Children's book author and illustrator extraordinaire Dario Cestaro (born 1971) presents the beauty of Paris through the spectacular paper architecture of a pop-up book. Cestaro takes young--and young at heart--readers through a fascinating journey through Paris' most famous buildings: the Eiffel Tower, the Bourse de Commerce, the Louvre, the cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Centre Pompidou and the Arc de Triomphe. This lively tour through Cestaro's colorful pages is enlivened by short texts and sweet anecdotes that tell a history of the city through its most iconic buildings. Readers will learn about the construction of the Eiffel Tower for the 1889 World's Fair, designed by the well-known "architect of iron" after whom it is named; the pre- and post-Revolutionary histories of the Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries, given first to princes and then to the people; Tadao Ando's painstaking restoration of the 18th-century Bourse de Commerce to turn it into a contemporary art gallery, and much more. Cestaro's tour through Paris follows the publication of similar volumes on other great European cities: Venice, Florence, Milan and Rome. Cestaro's captivating drawings will help even the youngest readers to recognize the main features of the city, and offer a special glimpse of the city's landscape and history.

A Szent Johanna gimi 8. 1-2. - Örökké
Négy év, amit nem felejtesz el.
"Okos kis könyv ez, elindult a saját útjára. Én pedig most magára hagyom, elengedem, hiszen én azt hiszem, mindent megtettem, amit lehetett, mindent úgy írtam, ahogy szerettem volna, most pedig elégedett vagyok az eredménnyel, mert tudom, én a kezdetek kezdetén valami ilyesmit akartam a végére. Nem egy finálét, elcsépelt ömlengést vagy túlcsavart szálakat. Úgy érzem, ez a sorozat az egyszerűségével nyerte el mindazt, amit elnyert, én pedig végig tartottam magam ahhoz az elvemhez, miszerint „ez csak egy sztori egy hétköznapi lányról, A FIÚRÓL (csupa nagybetűvel), a tanulásról, a barátairól, a családjáról, az életéről meg úgy általában, a Szent Johanna gimiről”.

Leaving the Yellow House

The Duke in His Domain
Now Brando looked at people with assurance, and with what can only be called a pitying expression, as though he dwelt in spheres of enlightenment where they, to his regret, did not.
This mesmerizing profile of an insecure, vulnerable young Marlon Brando, brooding in a Kyoto hotel during a break from filming, is a peerless piece of journalism.

The End
'They didn't seem to take much interest in my private parts which to tell the truth were nothing to write home about, I didn't take much interest in them myself.'
From the master of the absurd, these two stories of an unnamed vagrant contending with decay and death combine bleakness with the blackest of humour.

I Have More Souls Than One
'But no, she's abstract, is a bird
Of sound in the air of air soaring,
And her soul sings unencumbered
Because the song's what makes her sing.'
Dramatic, lyrical and ranging over four distinct personae, these poems by one of Portugal's greatest poets trace a mind shaken by intense suffering and a tireless search for meaning.

'I knew he was imagining a really lovely girl - all curves, curls, heart and hidden claws'
In stories that span the course of a lifetime - from childhood in the Caribbean to adolescent modelling in Paris; and from lonely adulthood to old age and beyond - here are women adrift, at sea, down but not quite out.

Bolond, homok és tajték
Amikor a kezdetek idején ajkamra tódult az első remegő hang, fel kellett másznom a Szent Hegyre, hogy szólhassak Istenemhez. Az mondtam: "Uram, a Te szolgád vagyok. Titkos akaratod a törvénye, s követlek Téged mindenkor."
De Isten nem válaszolt. Eltűnt előlem akárcsak egy hatalmas vihar, s ezer év múltán ismét felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, és ismét szóltam Istenhez, azt mondtam: "Teremtőm, én a Te teremtményed vagyok. Hangból formáltál meg engem, ami vagyok és amim van, mindenért Neked vagyok adós. De Isten nem válaszolt, eltűnt, mint ezer sebes szárny." S ezer év elteltével megint felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, s újraszóltam Istenhez. Azt mondtam: "Atyám, én a Te fiad vagyok. Szeretetedből és könyörületedből teremtettél engem, s én a szeretetben és tiszteletben akarom királyságodat örökölni."
De az Isten nem válaszolt, eltűnt, mint a pára a messzeségben, s ezer év elmúltával ismét felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, és újra szóltam Istenhez. Azt mondtam: "Istenem, én célom és beteljesülésem. Én vagyok a tegnapod, és Te vagy a holnapom. Én vagyok gyökered a földben, te vagy virágom az égben, s együtt növekszünk a Nap fényében."
Akkor lehajolt hozzám Isten és fülembe szavakat suttogott. S mint a tenger, amikor magába öleli a patakot, amely beleömlik, úgy ölelt Ő magába engem, s mikor alászálltam a mély völgybe Isten ott is ott volt.

Hip Hop Raised Me
In Hip Hop Raised Me. (R) , DJ Semtex examines the crucial role of hip-hop in society today, and reflects on the huge influence it has had on his own life, and the lives of many others, filling in the gaps of education that school left behind, providing inspiration and purpose to generation after generation of disaffected youths. Taking a thematic approach and featuring seminal interviews he has conducted with key hip-hop artists, Semtex traces the characteristics and influence of hip-hop from its origins in the early 1970s with DJ Kool Herc's Block parties in the South Bronx, through its breakthrough to the mainstream and advent of gangsta rap in the late 1980s, with artists such as Run DMC, Public Enemy and Ice T, to the impact of contemporary artists and the global industry that is hip-hop today.
Hip-hop artists have gone from hustlers to successful entrepreneurs and businessmen. Hip-hop has come of age.

Footprints On Zero Line: Writings On The Partition
The Partition of 1947 has influenced the works of an entire generation of writers, and continues to do so. Gulzar witnessed the horrors of Partition first-hand and it is a theme that he has gone back to again and again in his writings. Footprints on Zero Line brings together a collection of his finest writings - fiction, non-fiction and poems - on the subject. What sets this collection apart from other writings on Partition is that Gulzar's unerring eye does not stop at the events of 1947 but looks at how it continues to affect our lives to this day. Wonderfully rendered in English by well-known author and translator Rakhshanda Jalil, this collection marks seventy years of India's Independence. Footprints on Zero Line is not only a brilliant collection on a cataclysmic event in the history of our nation by one of our finest contemporary writers, it is also a timely reminder that those who forget the errors of the past are doomed to repeat them.

The Future is History
In The Future is History Masha Gessen follows the lives of four Russians, born as the Soviet Union crumbled, at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children or grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own - as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers and writers, sexual and social beings. Gessen charts their paths not only against the machinations of the regime that would seek to crush them all (censorship, intimidation, violence) but also against the war it waged on understanding itself, ensuring the unobstructed emergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. The Future is History is a powerful and urgent cautionary tale by contemporary Russia's most fearless inquisitor.
