Nem vagyok én szuperegér!
Kedves rágcsálóbarátaim!
A nevem Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. Itt, Rágcsáliában, Egér-sziget fővárosában a könyveim mind bestsellerek! Hát nem olvastátok még őket? Igazán mulatságos történetek: könnyebbek, mint a friss mozzarella, kívánatosabbak, mint az edami, és ízesebbek, mint az érett parmezán... igazán bajuszemelő történetek, szavamra!
Nem vagyok én szuperegér!
Nálam jobban senki sem szeret otthon ülve olvasgatni és távol maradni a kalandoktól. Azonban egy bajuszborzoló véletlen miatt Muszkoli úgy döntött, hogy elvisz engem a világ legkeményebb helyeire. Szerintetek képes leszek túlélni a sivatagot, az Északi-sarkot, a dzsungelt, vagy egy koromsötét barlangot? Lehet belőlem valódi szuperegér?

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Part of a new series Legends from the Ancient North, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the classic books that influenced JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. "Tomorrow I must set off to receive that blow, to seek out that creature in green, God help me!" (J.R.R). Tolkien spent much of his life studying, translating and teaching the great epic stories of northern Europe, filled with heroes, dragons, trolls, dwarves and magic. He was hugely influential for his advocacy of Beowulf as a great work of literature and, even if he had never written The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, would be recognised today as a significant figure in the rediscovery of these extraordinary tales. Legends from the Ancient North brings together from Penguin Classics five of the key works behind Tolkien's fiction. They are startling, brutal, strange pieces of writing, with an elemental power brilliantly preserved in these translations. They plunge the reader into a world of treachery, quests, chivalry, trials of strength. They are the most ancient narratives that exist from northern Europe and bring us as near as we will ever get to the origins of the magical landscape of Middle-earth (Midgard) which Tolkien remade in the 20th century.

Én és énke
"Én magamat nem ismerem... De ismerek valakit, aki bennem lakik, akivel én sohase beszélgettem, aki gyakran megszólal, hetykén és hangosan, nem törődve azzal, hogy én sohasem válaszoltam neki, hogy szégyellem, és zavarban vagyok miatta, mint valami neveletlen kölyök miatt társaságban az illedelmes szülő... Ő az Énke, de nem szeretném, ha velem azonosítanák."
Ugyan kiben nem lakozik egy ilyen pimasz mitugrász kis senki, vagy inkább valaki? Ő énünk jobbik, igazabb és őszintébb része, aki fütyül a követelményekre és konvenciókra, fittyet hány a szabályokra, áthágja a korlátokat. Énkét minden játékos kisgyerek és minden lázadó kamasz ismeri, és akinek szerencséje van, felnőttkorában is megőriz magában valamit-valakit belőle.
Karinthy Frigyes fanyar és ellenállhatatlan humorú írásaiban, vidám jeleneteiben és groteszk életképeiben, amelyeken egyszerre sírunk és nevetünk, meghasonlott önmagunkkal és a meghasonlott világgal szembesülhetünk. Feketén-fehéren feltárul előttünk a dolgok kettős arculata, az emberi történések, érzelmek színe és fonákja.
Nem győzzük kapkodni a fejünket: hát ilyen a világ? És hogy valójában milyen is a világ, azt nemcsak a kötetben egybegyűjtött humoreszkek láttatják velünk, hanem Réber László elegáns, szellemes rajzai is.

Skin and Other Stories (R/I)
This is a collection of eleven short stories to startle, surprise and satisfy from Roald Dahl - the master of the twist in the tale. How would you get rid of a murder weapon without causing suspicion? Where would you hide a diamond where no one else would think of looking? What if you found out the tattoo on your back was worth over a million pounds? Specially chosen for teenagers by Wendy Cooling, the stories have been taken from The Collected Short Stories of Roald Dahl, published by Michael Joseph. Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916. He was educated in England before going to work for the Shell Oil Company in Africa. With the outbreak of World War II, he became an RAF fighter pilot. He began writing for adults at the close of the war, with the encouragement of C. S. Forester. His first children's book, James and the Giant Peach, was published in 1961 and each of his subsequent books became bestsellers. He is still the best-selling children's writer of all time.

Wagstaff: Before and After Mapplethorpe: A Biography
Sam Wagstaff, the legendary curator, collector, and patron of the arts, emerges as a cultural visionary in this groundbreaking biography. Even today remembered primarily as the mentor and lover of Robert Mapplethorpe, the once infamous photographer, Wagstaff, in fact, had an incalculable-and largely overlooked-influence on the world of contemporary art and photography, and on the evolution of gay identity in the latter part of the twentieth century. Born in New York City in 1921 into a notable family, Wagstaff followed an arc that was typical of a young man of his class. He attended both Hotchkiss and Yale, served in the navy, and would follow in step with his Ivy League classmates to the "gentleman's profession," as an ad executive on Madison Avenue. With his unmistakably good looks, he projected an aura of glamour and was cited by newspapers as one of the most eligible bachelors of the late 1940s. Such accounts proved deceiving, for Wagstaff was forced to live in the closet, his homosexuality only revealed to a small circle of friends. Increasingly uncomfortable with his career and this double life, he abandoned advertising, turned to the formal study of art history, and embarked on a radical personal transformation that was in perfect harmony with the tumultuous social, cultural, and sexual upheavals of the 1960s. Accordingly, Wagstaff became a curator, in 1961, at Hartford's Wadsworth Atheneum, where he mounted both "Black, White, and Gray"-the first museum show of minimal art-and the sculptor Tony Smith's first museum show, while lending his early support to artists Andy Warhol, Ray Johnson, and Richard Tuttle, among many others. Later, as a curator at the Detroit Institute of Arts, he brought the avant-garde to a regional museum, offending its more staid trustees in the process. After returning to New York City in 1972, the fifty-year-old Wagstaff met the twenty-five-year-old Queens-born Robert Mapplethorpe, then living with Patti Smith. What at first appeared to be a sexual dalliance became their now historic lifelong romance, in which Mapplethorpe would foster Wagstaff's own burgeoning interest in contemporary photography and Wagstaff would help secure Mapplethorpe's reputation in the art world. In spite of their profound class differences, the artistic union between the philanthropically inclined Wagstaff and the prodigiously talented Mapplethorpe would rival that of Stieglitz and O'Keefe, or Rivera and Kahlo, in their ability to help reshape contemporary art history. Positioning Wagstaff's personal life against the rise of photography as a major art form and the simultaneous formation of the gay rights movement, Philip Gefter's absorbing biography provides a searing portrait of New York just before and during the age of AIDS. The result is a definitive and memorable portrait of a man and an era.

The Woman Who Had Two Navels and Tales of the Tropical Gothic
Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. With the post-colonial sensibilities of Junot Diaz, Teju Cole, and Jhumpa Lahiri and an ironic perspective of colonial history resonant with Marques and Llosa, Joaquin is a long-neglected writer ready to join the ranks of the world classics. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendour and excess. This collection features his best-known story, 'The Woman Who Had Two Navels,' centred on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologised story 'May Day Eve,' and a canonical play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino.
