OWC Professor
Written before Jane Eyre, "The Professor" challenged contemporary expectations of the novel by its brevity, realism, and insistence on a working career both before and after marriage for its hero and heroine. The action begins against a background of the fight for better factory conditions in the 1830s and finishes in the early 1840s with the spread of liberal ideas which led to the continental revolutions of 1848. This edition is based directly on the author's fair copy manuscript, and also includes "Emma" Charlotte Bronte's last, unfinished attempt to write a novel after "Villette".

Word Origins
The average contemporary English speaker knows 50,000 words. Yet stripped down to its origins, this apparently huge vocabulary is in reality much smaller, derived from Latin, French and the Germanic languages. It is estimated that every year, 800 neologisms are added to the English language: acronyms (nimby), blended words (motel), and those taken from foreign languages (savoir-faire). Laid out in an A-Z format with detailed cross references, and written in a style that is both authoritative and accessible, Word Origins is a valuable historical guide to the English language.

Frank Stella
A timely monograph, covering the landmark work and latest career developments of one of today's greatest living artists."Stella now occupies a position similar to that of Kandinsky late in his career. He changed the history of art with his early work, but kept on moving." -The New York TimesInitially influenced by the work of the abstract expressionists, Frank Stella subsequently rejected the movement in favour of more radical forms. In 1960 Stella presented his first series of aluminium paintings at Leo Castelli, causing the first upset in a long history of experiments that saw him tackling minimalism, post-painterly abstraction, and public art. This book examines Stella's life and career in the context of the contemporary art world, featuring works from his recent blockbuster museum exhibitions as well as landmark works from throughout his career.

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.
