Dorian Gray képmása
Amikor a Dorian Gray képmása 1890-ben először megjelent egy irodalmi folyóiratban, a viktoriánus közvélemény azonnal hatalmas felháborodással fogadta. Olyannyira, hogy az 1891-es könyvváltozatot már maga Wilde dolgozta át és bővítette ki úgy, hogy valamelyest elhallgattassa gyújtó hangú kritikusait. Azt viszont még ők sem sejthették, hogy a regény ősváltozata, ahogyan azt Wilde eredetileg elküldte a folyóiratnak, még ennél is nyíltabban beszélt a regény szereplőinek érzelmi viszonyairól, különösen a festő és modellje, Basil Hallward és Dorian Gray közötti homoerotikus vonzalomról. Az erre utaló mondatokat ugyanis a magazin szerkesztői Wilde tudta nélkül még az első megjelenés előtt kihúzták a regényből, a legelső változat szövegéről pedig több mint egy évszázadon át csak néhány Wilde-kutató tudhatott.
Jelen kiadásunkban ezt a 2011-ben megjelent, cenzurázatlan ősváltozatot tárjuk a magyar olvasók elé Dunajcsik Mátyás új, ihletett fordításában, hogy végre megismerhessék Dorian Gray történetét abban a formában is, ahogy azt Oscar Wilde eredetileg elképzelte.
,,Az emberek néha azt mondják, a Szépség csak a felszín. Lehet, hogy így van. De legalább nem annyira felszínes, mint a Gondolat. Csak a sekélyes emberek nem ítélnek a külső alapján. A világ igazi misztériuma a látható, és nem a láthatatlan.
Igen, Mr. Gray, az istenek jók voltak önhöz. De amit az istenek adnak, gyorsan el is veszik. Az idő féltékeny önre, és háborút visel az ön liliomai és rózsái ellen. Valósítsa meg az ifjúságát, amíg még megvan! Éljen! Élje a csodálatos életet, ami önben van! Ne hagyjon veszni semmit önmagából. Mindig keressen új és új élményeket. Ne féljen semmitől.
Egy új Hedonizmus! Erre van szüksége a mi évszázadunknak. Ön lehetne ennek a látható szimbóluma. Az ön személyiségével nincs semmi, amit ne tehetne meg. Egy évszakra öné a világ."
Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
Halhatatlan zseni és kibírhatatlan pojáca; a művészet apostola és az ifjúság megrontója; Anglia legszellemesebb embere és legmegvetettebb szexuális bűnözője - Oscar Wilde élete éppúgy tele volt szélsőségekkel, ahogy a művei, melyekkel megváltoztatta a XIX. század arculatát. Dublinban született, Oxfordban tanult, legnagyobb sikereit Londonban aratta, és végül Párizsban halt meg száműzetésben. Életét és művészetét is meghatározta a szemforgató viktoriánus erkölccsel való küzdelem, melynek nevében 1895-ben kétévi börtönre és kényszermunkára ítélték ,,súlyos szeméremsértés" vádjával. Sziporkázó színpadi műveit, fájdalmas szépségű meséit és elmés mondásait azonban máig olvassák világszerte, és ma is épp olyan frissen és lenyűgözően hatnak az olvasóra, mint száz évvel ezelőtt.

The Story Of Kullervo
The world first publication of a previously unknown work of fantasy by J.R.R. Tolkien, which tells the powerful story of a doomed young man who is sold into slavery and who swears revenge on the magician who killed his father. Kullervo son of Kalervo is perhaps the darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien's characters. 'Hapless Kullervo', as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny. Brought up in the homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, and who tries three times to kill him when still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin sister, Wanona, and guarded by the magical powers of the black dog, Musti. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance there is no escape from the cruellest of fates. Tolkien wrote that The Story of Kullervo was 'the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own', and was 'a major matter in the legends of the First Age'; his Kullervo was the ancestor of Turin Turambar, tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. In addition to being a powerful story in its own right, The Story of Kullervo - published here for the first time with the author's drafts, notes and lecture-essays on its source-work, The Kalevala, is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien's invented world.

Mario Testino. SIR
From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR, his largest book to-date, the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men.
Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby.
Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti’s The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men’s changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino’s eye and impeccable intuition.
Limited edition of 1,000 numbered copies, each signed by Mario Testino, bound in Japanese cloth, and delivered in a metal slipcase.
