The Last Soviet Artist
For fans of Joe Sacco, a panoramic, stunningly illustrated account of Russia and the post-Soviet space by an anti-Putin artist exiled from her homeland.Even before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, dissent in Russia was an increasingly elusive commodity. Since then it has been effectively banned, as Russian dissidents are assassinated, imprisoned, or forced into exile. The result is that, both at home and abroad, the experience and texture of Russian society have become difficult to grasp. What is actually happening in Russia and the former USSR today? The Last Soviet Artist offers a vivid, original, brilliantly illustrated answer.Banned from exhibiting her work at home, Victoria Lomasko is an exile and a dissident of the old school. Much ink has been spilled about Russia during the Putin years, but there is nothing like Lomasko’s sui generis graphic reportage, unwavering in its humanity and its determination to find space for artistic freedom in a climate of near-total repression. Lomasko’s first book, the award-winning Other Russias (n+1 Books), is now in its fourth printing and was translated into seven languages. The Last Soviet Artist will pick up where Other Russias left off, offering an urgent intervention that will further deepen Western readers’ understanding of Russia at a moment of extreme cultural isolation. And if it ruffles some important feathers along the way, well—Lomasko is used to it.

Not On Display
An entertaining satire of nudity in the Louvre, Not on Display is a deeply serious, award-winning graphic novel examining the history of the female body in art and our society. When one of the greatest museums in the world gave the illustrator Zelba free rein to make a graphic novel about great art, she knew exactly what she would do: address a double standard. She’d seen the Louvre’s halls filled with sexualized female bodies, ogled at by crowds and sometimes even groped, and wanted to turn the tables. What if, she dreamed, those naked bodies refused to be the objects of our gaze? What if the female nudes in the Louvre went on strike? The result, a co-edition with Editions Louvre, is a critique of great artists and great museums. Awarded the prestigious Prix Sceneario and the Prix Artemisia in France, the pages are filled with unforgettable characters, such as a heroic cleaner who can speak to statues and a museum director who secretly offloads his work onto his sister. Featuring well-known masterpieces, this entertaining romp displays one of the world’s greatest art collections in a whole new light.

A hetedik ajtó
Sose felejtem el a mesét. Az elvarázsolt kastélyban minden szobába bemehetsz. Minden ajtót kinyithatsz. Csak a hetedik ajtó van zárva. És az a – ki tudja, külső vagy belső – parancs, meg ne próbáld a kulcsot elfordítani benne!
De te elfordítod. És titkokat találsz. Az életed titkait. Mert a hetedik ajtó benned van. Mélyen, belül, magad számára is rejtve, zárva.
Ebben a könyvben sok más történet mellett a hetedik ajtót nyitogatom. A lelakatolt hetedik ajtómat. Hol résnyire, hol sarkig tárva.
Amikor Szabó Magda édesanyja, Jablonczay Lenke szavait olvastam, melyeket halála előtt mondott: „Annyi titkom volt.” Akkor eszméltem rá, igen. Igen. Annyi titkom van.
Hogy okos dolog volt-e a kulcsot a zárban hagyni és most elfordítani... magam sem tudom. Talán az olvasó megfejti. Hisz neki gyónok.
Soha nem szerettél?
Ez a könyv egy fájdalmas szakítás történetét és annak túlélését meséli el. Egy olyan időszakot, amikor a veszteség és a szenvedés szinte mindent felemésztett, és amikor úgy éreztem, nincs tovább. Írás közben azonban rátaláltam arra az útra, amely kivezetett a fájdalomból, és megmutatta, hogy mindig van remény. Nem titkolom, hogy a múlt elől nem lehet menekülni. Az emlékek veled maradnak, akárhogyan is próbálsz elbújni előlük. De van választásod: elfogadhatod őket, megértheted, és idővel elengedheted azt, ami már nem szolgál téged. Ebben a könyvben megosztom veled a tapasztalataimat, hogy segítsenek rálépni egy új, reményteljes ösvényre. Mert a bátorság nem csupán abban rejlik, hogy megteszünk valamit, hanem abban is, hogy elfogadjuk azt, amit nem tudunk megváltoztatni. A beletörődés és az elfogadás gyakran nem vereség, hanem az első lépés egy szebb jövő felé - a kulcs egy új kezdethez. Ez a könyv erről az útról szól. Légy bátor, és indulj el te is!
