The Reluctant Dragon
The Reluctant Dragon is an 1898 children's story by Kenneth Grahame (originally published as a chapter in his book Dream Days), which served as the key element to the 1941 feature film with the same name from Walt Disney Productions. The story has also been set to music as a children's operetta by John Rutter, with words by David Grant. The story takes place in the Berkshire Downs in Oxfordshire (where the author lived and where, according to legend, St George did fight a dragon). It is Grahame's most famous short story. It is arguably much more well-known than Dream Days itself or the related The Golden Age. It can be seen as a prototype to most modern stories in which the dragon is a sympathetic character rather than a threat.In Grahame's story, a young boy discovers an erudite, mushroom-loving dragon living in the Downs above his home. The two become friends, but soon afterwards the dragon is discovered by the townsfolk, who send for St George to rid them of it.

The House of Fortune
The House of Fortune is the sequel to Jessie Burton's million-copy bestseller The Miniaturist. Set in the golden city of Amsterdam in 1705, it is a story of fate and ambition, secrets and dreams, and one young woman's determination to rule her own destiny.
Thea Brandt is turning eighteen, and is ready to welcome adulthood with open arms. At the theatre, Walter, the love of her life, awaits her, but at home in the house on the Herengracht, winter has set in - her father Otto and Aunt Nella argue endlessly, and the Brandt family are selling their furniture in order to eat. On Thea's birthday, also the day that her mother Marin died, the secrets from the past begin to overwhelm the present.
Nella is desperate to save the family and maintain appearances, to find Thea a husband who will guarantee her future, and when they receive an invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball, she is overjoyed - perhaps this will set their fortunes straight. And indeed, the ball does set things spinning: new figures enter their life, promising new futures. But their fates are still unclear, and when Nella feels a strange prickling sensation on the back of her neck, she wonders if the miniaturist has returned for her . . .

The Story of a Life
In 1943, Konstantin Paustovsky, the Soviet Union's most revered author, started out on his masterwork - The Story of a Life; a grand, novelistic memoir of a life lived on the fast-unfurling frontiers of Russian history. Eventually published over six volumes, it would cement Paustovsky's reputation as the voice of Russia around the world, and see him nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Newly translated by Guggenheim fellow Douglas Smith, Vintage Classics are proud to reintroduce the first three books of Paustovsky's epic for a whole new generation. Taking its reader from Paustovsky's Ukrainian youth, struggling with a family on the verge of collapse and the first flourishes of creative ambition, to his experiences working as a paramedic on Russia's frontlines and then as a journalist covering the country's violent spiral into revolution, The Story of a Life offers a portrait of an artistic journey like no other.
As richly dramatic as the great Russian novels of the 19th and 20th centuries, but all the more powerful for its first-hand testament to one of history's most chaotic eras, The Story of Life is a uniquely dazzling achievement of modern literature.

Aerosmith je americká rocková skupina z Bostonu pohybujúca sa v rozpätí žánrov hardrocku a bluesrocku. V hudobnom biznise sú označovaní aj ako „The Bad Boys from Boston“, prípadne „America´s Greatest Rock and Roll Band“. Aerosmith vznikli v 1970 a sú 30-ročnou kapelou, hrajúcou v pôvodnej zostave. Sú taktiež najpredávanejšou americkou hardrockovou skupinou so 150 miliónmi predaných nosičov v rámci celosvetového meradla a 66,5 miliónmi predaných nosičov v rámci Spojených štátov amerických. Rekord držia aj v počte získaných zlatých a multiplatinových platní pre americkú skupinu. Kapela sa tiež umiestnila na 21. mieste v rebríčku „Top 40 hitov v horúcej 100 Billboardu“, devätkrát na prvom mieste v rebríčku „Mainstreamových rockových hitov“, získala štyri ocenenia Grammy a desať ocenení MTV Video Music Awards. V roku 2001 bola uvedená do Rock and Rollovej siene slávy a piesne „Dream On“ a „Toys In The Attic“ boli zaradené na zoznam „500 piesní, ktoré formovali rock“.V 2005 ju časopis Rolling Stone umiestnil na 57. miesto v rebríčku stovky najvýznamnejších umelcov všetkých čias. Už od začiatku kariéry bola skupina známa aj svojou ťažkou drogovou závislosťou a alkoholizmom, na základe čoho si získala prívlastky „jednej z najrozhádanejších kapiel svetovej rockovej scény", ale aj „nezničiteľnej skupiny s deviatimi životmi“, ktorá sa dokázala dostať z dna opäť na vrchol.
v roku 2023 Aerosmith vydávajú nové reedície ich štúdiových a Live albumov, väčšinou z éry Columbia Records. Neexistujú žiadne bonusové skladby, ale všetky piesne boli pre tieto vydania nanovo remastrované. Väčšina albumov vyjde aj na LP.

In the Penal Colony
The story is set in an unnamed penal colony. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. In the Penal Colony describes the last use of an elaborate torture and execution device that carves the sentence of the condemned prisoner on his skin in a script before letting him die, all in the course of twelve hours. As the plot unfolds, the reader learns more and more about the machine, including its origin, and original justification.
