Galambnagymama
A nagymama galambbá változik, az elhagyott trombita megszólal, a magányos kislány halacska lesz, az állatkereskedésben pótapa is kapható; és a nem létező kutya harap. Nógrádi Gábor meséi mindannyiunk által megélt érzéseket formálnak varázslatos történetekké. "A Galambnagymama első meséi közel húsz éve jelentek meg, és néhány szülőtől, nagymamától már akkor is kaptam kedves, dicsérő leveleket. Azóta számos tanárnő, édesanya írta meg, vagy mondta el személyesen; hogy könyveim közül a Galambnagymama a kedvence. Az író nagyon ritkán tudja kiszámítani műve valódi hatását az olvasóra. Így jártam én is. Gyerekeknek írtam ezeket a meséket, és az érzékenyebb kamaszok mellett a gyereklelkű felnőttek értik, érzik igazán." Nógrádi Gábor

Gordon Matta-Clark
After studying architecture at Cornell University, Matta-Clark developed more interest in buildings about to be destroyed than in the ones about to be built, as most architects would. He first forced his way into abandoned apartment buildings in the Bronx , and using a chain saw, would act as an architecture pirate, cutting pieces of walls and floors, only to leave behind the remains of what once was architecture. From pieces of walls his work shifted, in 1974, to the scale of a whole suburban house. "Splitting", probably his most popular work, was made by cutting a vertical line through the entire width of the house, and transforming the cut into a yawn, after lowering the foundations on both sides of the house. Erasing the boundaries between architecture, sculpture, and even drawing (his cuts have often been refered to as drawings in space), his building-cuts can also be understood as a social critique of the standardized suburban architecture that flourished during the postwar decades. The book opens with Thomas Crow's survey text on the artist (24,000 words). Divided into 4 chapters plus an epilogue, this richly illustrated essay provides insight into the career of the artist, from his childhood spent between New York and Paris, to his premature death in 1978 at the age of 35. These essays span the multi-faceted practice of Gordon Matta-Clark, with a particular emphasis on his building-cuts, the group of works he is most renowned for and that compose the most important part of his career. This book also includes a "Documents" section, composed of original interviews, articles, and documents compiled by editor Corinne Diserens. Several interviews, some of them never published before, allow the reader to understand more fully, and through Matta-Clark's own voice, the more pragmatic, technical, and physical dimensions related to the creation of his building-cuts. Some articles and essays of reference, most of them published in the 1970s and today out of print, are also republished and offer a unique critical background and context to his work.

Cave Art
The discovery of pre-historic decorated caves in western Europe transformed the way we think about the development of art. The earliest known evidence of human artistic endeavor, the awe-inspiring paintings, dramatic engravings and small, delicate sculptures of animals and humans found in these caves still hold a unique power and fascination, more than a century after they were first discovered. In this book, internationally renowned expert on prehistoric art Jean Clottes explores the origins of art and creativity. He takes the reader on a guided tour of 85 caves and rock shelters, many of which are not open to the public, revealing the extraordinary beauty of the works of art within them.Cave Art features more than 300 works from the Paleolithic period, made between 35,000 and 11,000 years ago, presented in geographical and chronological order.This comprehensive, accessible introduction to prehistoric art includes such spectacular works as the famous horses of Lascaux, the buffalo in the Altamira cave in Spain and the ivory carving of a woman's face found at Brassempouy in the south of France, as well as examples from less well-known sites. A wonderful range of animals is presented, from cave bears to reindeer, as well as mysterious abstract signs and schematic representations of human beings. Examples of portable art and sculpture are also included. While most of the caves described in the book are European, Cave Art also includes examples of open-air rock art made after the last ice age at sites around the world.With an unparalleled selection of images, Cave Art offers a unique guided tour of the earliest expressions of human creativity. Each work in Cave Art is illustrated by a color photograph, and accompanied by a clear, vivid explanatory text. A concise introduction tells the story of the discovery of the caves, and gives a clear outline of current knowledge, research and debate on the subject of prehistoric art. The book also includes a chronology, maps of the main caves and sites, a glossary and a list of sites that can be visited.

History of the Hobbit: Vol. 1
A major new examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit', including his complete unpublished draft version of the story, and many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps by Tolkien himself. The History of the Hobbit presents for the first time, in two volumes, the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its successor, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that grew in the telling", and many characters and story threads in the published text are completely different from what Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as part of their "fireside reads".As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Like Christopher Tolkien's The History of The Lord of the Rings before it, this is a thoughtful yet exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature. Long overdue for a classic book now celebrating 70 years in print, this companion edition offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight those who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

Lacná kniha Little Dorrit (-90%)
When Arthur Clennam returns to England after many years abroad, he takes a kindly interest in Amy Dorrit, his mother’s seamstress, and in the affairs of Amy’s father, William Dorrit, a man of shabby grandeur, long imprisoned for debt in the Marshalsea. As Arthur soon discovers, the dark shadow of the prison stretches far beyond its walls to affect the lives of many, from the kindly Mr. Pancks, the reluctant rent-collector of Bleeding Heart Yard, and the tipsily garrulous Flora Finching, to Merdle, an unscrupulous financier, and the bureaucratic Barnacles in the Circumlocution Office. A masterly evocation of the state and psychology of imprisonment, Little Dorrit is one of the supreme works of Dickens’s maturity.

Lacná kniha Mind, átjavított , újabb, régiek (-90%)
Egyetlen kötetben hat könyvet kap kézhez az olvasó, egy jelentős költői életmű méltó metszetét. Kukorelly Endre harminc év lírai terméséből válogatta ki, írta át, rendezte új szerkezetbe verseit az első kötettől (A valóság édessége, 1984) a legutóbbiig (Mennyit hibázok, te úristen, 2010). A gyűjteményben az olyan emblematikus darabok mellett, mint a Vojtina-redivivus című Arany-átirat, a H.Ö.L.D.E.R.L.I.N.-ciklus vagy a nagy sikerű Samunadrág gyerekversei, kötetben még nem publikált legújabb művei is helyet kaptak.
A Mind, átjavított, újabb, régiek a legteljesebb összefoglalása egy olyan szerző lírai pályájának, aki mérhetetlen műgonddal "hibázó", eltéveszthetetlenül egyedi költői nyelven, zavarba ejtő eleganciával vonja kérdőre, "javítja át" a költészetről alkotott konvencionális fogalmainkat.
"Van, aki próbálkozik [K. E.] írásaival, de azt gondolja, ez neki magas. Van, aki azt, ez neki alacsony. Van, akinek tetszik. Mindenki más. (Hogy legyen egy általános kijelentés is.) Én például azt gondolom, szövegeinek elég kis része rossz, a nagy része elég jó, és helyenként baromi jó. Vagyis erős." (Farkas Zsolt)
