A Room of One's Own and Three Guineas
Intellectual freedom depends on material things. Poetry depends on intellectual freedom. And women have always been poor...' In these two classic essays of feminist literature, Woolf argues passionately for women's intellectual freedom and their role in challenging the drive towards fascism and conflict. In A Room of One's Own she explores centuries of limitations placed on women, as well as celebrating the creative achievements of the women writers who overcame these obstacles. In this first hi
story of women's writing, she describes the importance of education, financial independence, and equality of opportunity to creative freedom. Three Guineas was written under the threat of fascism and impending war. A radical articulation of Woolf's pacifist politics, it investigates the causes of gender inequalities and the ways in which women's historic outsider position make them crucial in the prevention of war. Both these works started life as talks to groups of young women, and their engagi
ng wit and informality establish Woolf as one of the twentieth-century's greatest essayists. Their arguments continue to reverberate in feminist discourse to this day.

Pride and Prejudice
From A to Z, the Penguin Drop Caps series collects 26 unique hardcovers--featuring cover art by type superstar Jessica Hische It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of twenty-six collectible and gift-worthy hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet by superstar type designer Jessica Hische, whose work has appeared everywhere from Tiffany & Co. to Wes Anderson's film "Moonrise Kingdom" to Penguin's own bestsellers "Committed "and "Rules of Civility." A collaboration between Jessica Hische and Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, the series design encompasses foil-stamped paper-over-board cases in a rainbow-hued spectrum across all twenty-six book spines and a decorative stain on all three paper edges. Penguin Drop Caps debuts with an "A" for Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice," a "B" for Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," and a "C" for Willa Cather's "My antonia," and continues with more classics from Penguin. A is for Austen. Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's beloved classic "Pride and Prejudice." Elizabeth's early determination to dislike Mr. Darcy is a prejudice only matched by the folly of his arrogant pride. Their first impressions give way to true feelings in a comedy profoundly concerned with happiness and how it might be achieved.

Fury
Fury is a wickedly brilliant and pitch-black comedy about a middle-aged professor who finds himself in New York City in the summer of 2000. Not since, the Bombay of "Midnight's Children" have a time and place been so intensely and accurately captured in a novel. "Fury" opens on a New York living at breakneck speed in an age of unprecedented decadence. Malik Solanka, a Cambridge-educated self-made millionaire originally from Bombay, arrives looking, perversely, for escape. This former philosophy professor is the inventor of the hugely popular doll, Little Brain, whose multiform ubiquity - as puppet, cartoon and masked woman - now rankles with him. He becomes frustratingly estranged from his own creation. At the same time, his marriage is disintegrating: it escalates into a rage-filled battle, and Solanka very nearly commits an unforgiveable act. Horrified by the fury within him, he flees home and family and becomes a sort of spiritual mendicant - except that he has a credit card and a duplex on the Upper West Side. Solanka discovers that he has come to a city roiling with anger, where cab drivers spout invective and a serial killer is murdering women with a lump of concrete, a metropolis whose population is united by petty spats and bone-deep resentment. His own thoughts, emotions and desires, meanwhile, are also running wild.

Issey Miyake
Lyrical life-wear: The ultimate Issey Miyake monographIn 1983, Japanese designer Issey Miyake told The New Yorker that he aspired to forge ahead, to break the mold . With the boundary-defying fashion lines that followed, he not only broke molds, but recast clothing altogether. With a unique fusion of poetry and practicality, his creations blur the boundaries between tradition, modern technology, and everyday function.This definitive history of Miyake s clothes coincides with a major exhibit at The National Art Center, Tokyo, and offers expert insight into the designer s vision and daring. Initiated and conceived by Midori Kitamura, the book looks at the texture-driven originality of Miyake s materials and techniques from the very earliest days of his career, before he had even established the Miyake Design Studio. Drawing on more than 40 years of collaborative work with Miyake, Kitamura creates an encyclopedic reference of his material and technical innovations through the clothes based on A Piece of Cloth concept, Body Series of the 1980s, Miyake Pleats series, and such practical, everyday designs as Pleats Please pieces.Stunning photographs from Miyake s contemporary Yuriko Takagi capture the clothes in their particular quotidien originality, including a breathtaking shoot in Iceland. In her far-reaching essay, meanwhile, leading cultural figure Kazuko Koike offers both a complete chronology of Miyake s work, and an unprecedented personal profile, looking at the ambition and inspirations that have driven his repertoire from tender teenage years. A must-have for designers, students and fashion devotees, this is a timeless tribute to one of the most innovative makers of our age.Text in English and Japanese"

Woody Allen Film by Film
Since he first vented his neuroses on the big screen in 1965, Woody Allen has enjoyed a career unlike any other writer or director in cinema. The impact of his comedy and his psychoanalysis of the modern world have been hugely influential and had a profound effect on popular culture ever since. Woody Allen is unarguably one of cinema's most successful and renowned auteurs, a filmmaker who has influenced the zeitgeist more than any other, and a director every actor wants to work with. Everyone has their favourite Woody film - whether it's his nervous but hilarious urban romances such as Annie Hall or Manhattan, or the later, lighter dramas such as Vicky Cristina Barcelona or Blue Jasmine. Woody Allen has never failed to release a movie every year, on time and on budget. As Woody said about himself: "The two biggest myths about me are that I'm an intellectual, because I wear these glasses, and that I'm an artist because my films lose money." As self-critical as ever, Woody Allen remains a force to be reckoned with. Woody Allen: Film by Film covers 50 years of ground-breaking cinema and explores each one of the director's movies, making it the most complete critical analysis of the filmmaker's work to date. Written by highly respected film critic Jason Solomons and featuring a revealing new interview between the author and Woody, this sumptuously illustrated biography through film is an insightful, entertaining and authoritative exploration into the mind of one of the world's most complex, creative and best-loved directors.

Cyberphobia : Identity, Trust, Security and the Internet
Crossing the road, we look both ways. Riding a bicycle at night, we use lights. So why is our attitude towards online security so relaxed? Edward Lucas reveals the ways in which cyberspace is not the secure zone we may hope, how passwords provide no significant obstacle to anyone intent on getting past them, and how anonymity is easily accessible to anyone - malign or benign - willing to take a little time covering their tracks. The internet was designed by a small group of computer scientists looking for a way to share information quickly. In the last twenty years it has expanded rapidly to become a global information superhighway, available to all comers, but also wide open to those seeking invisibility. This potential for anonymity means neither privacy nor secrecy are really possible for law-abiding corporations or citizens. As identities can be faked so easily the very foundations on which our political, legal and economic systems are based are vulnerable. Businesses, governments, national security organisations and even ordinary individuals are constantly at risk and with our ever increasing dependence on the internet and smart-phone technology this threat is unlikely to diminish - in fact, the target for cyber-criminals is expanding all the time. Not only does Cyberphobia lay bare the dangers of the internet, it also explores the most successful defensive cyber-strategies, options for tracking down transgressors and argues that we are moving into a post-digital age where once again face-to-face communication will be the only interaction that really matters.

Palimpszeszt
"Lehóczky Ágnes az irodalomban nem példátlan, de mégiscsak szokatlan dolgot művel: egyszerre két nyelven, magyarul és angolul ír. Három angol verseskötete mellett a Palimpszeszt a harmadik magyar nyelvű. Félreértés ne essék: nem önmagát fordítja, innen oda vagy onnan ide, hanem két külön költészetet hoz létre, amelyek mégsem függetlenek egymástól.
A szerző prózaversei emléklenyomatok, megelevenedett palimpszesztek, amelyeken a régi, komputernyelven szólva felülírt történések minduntalan átütnek az újabbakon. A történésből emlék, az emlékből írás lesz, és ezt az időbeli utat a versek másik alapmetaforája a térbeli utazásra mintázza rá.
A kötet nemcsak metaforikus, hanem valóságos palimpszeszt is. Amelynek ki kellett alakítani a poétikáját is. A szeszélyes és mégis szigorúan elrendezett térbeli, időbeli, és nyelvi egyidejűségek, különválások és egybeolvadások pontos lírai megfelelője az a képlékeny vers- és formanyelv, amely Lehóczky Ágnes költészetének oly egyéni sajátossága." (a Kiadó)
Lehóczky Ágnes 1976-ban született Budapesten. 2001-ben szerzett diplomát a Pázmány Péter Katolikus Egyetem magyar-angol szakán. 2006-ban a Kelet-Angliai Egyetem (University of East Anglia) kreatív írás szakán szerzett mesterfokú diplomát, majd 2011-ben doktori címet. 2010-ben elnyerte a Jane Martin Poetry Prize cambridge-i díját. Két magyar nyelvű kötetét, Ikszedik stáció (2000) és Medalion (2002) címmel az Universitas Kiadó jelentette meg. Az angol nyelvű kötetek, Budapest to Babel (2009) és Rememberer (2012), az Egg Boksz Publishing, míg Carillonneur (2014) a Shearsman kiadó gondozásában jelentek meg. 2011-ben Nemes Nagy Ágnesről írt monográfiáját a Cambridge Scholars Publishing jelentette meg Poetry, the Geometry of the Living Substance címmel. 2010-ben a Norwichi Fesztivál felkérésére írta librettóját. 2012-ben a londoni Poetry Parnassus magyar résztvevője. 2012-ben a Bertha Bulcsu-emlékdíj különdíjasa volt. Jelenleg a Sheffieldi Egyetemen előadóként kreatív írást tanít.
