A fiú és a kutya
A kutyáknak különleges a kapcsolatuk az emberekkel... Megértik az emberi szívet, és olyan módon vannak ráhangolódva, ahogyan egyetlen más élőlény sem.
2011 őszén Szendai városában egy Kazumasza nevű férfi a földrengés és a cunami katasztrófája miatt elveszíti a munkáját, és a bűn útjára lép, hogy eltartsa demens édesanyját és az őt ápoló nővérét. Egy nap a férfit egy csontsovány kóbor kutyával, Tamonnal hozza össze a sors. Kazumasza azonnal megkedveli az okos állatot. Nem sokkal később jól fizető állást ajánlanak neki egy tolvajbanda sofőrjeként, amit a pénz miatt el is fogad.
A kutya mindig szerencsét hoz, amikor a férfi magával viszi a rizikós rablásokra, ezért Tamon szinte az őrangyalává válik. A kutya azonban valamiért mindig dél felé fordítja a fejét...
Mit akar Tamon, és vajon hová tart...?
Hasze Szeisú hat fejezetből álló, szívmelengető regényében Tamon kóborol tovább, hogy egy tolvajnak, egy házaspárnak, egy örömlánynak, egy öregembernek és végül egy fiúnak nyújtson vigaszt és reményt a legnehezebb óráikban.
Haruki Murakami Manga Stories 3
"Enchanting?intriguing [?] A wonderfully surreal quality and a hip, witty tone." ?The Wall Street JournalHaruki Murakami''s novels, essays and stories have sold millions of copies worldwide and been translated into fifty languages. Now for the first time, his best-loved stories are available in manga form, in three independent volumes.These adaptations have been hailed by Publishers Weekly as "a must-read for Murakami buffs and a quirky invitation into the writer''s perspective and preoccupations for newcomers," while Book Riot says "Long-time fans are sure to appreciate this new approach to Murakami''s work, while newcomers will find it an evocative introduction."With their trademark mix of realism and fantasy, centering around Murakami''s signature themes of loss, remorse and confusion, the two stories in this volume are:Scheherazade: A man, Habara, is confined to his home, as though under house arrest. He is visited regularly by a woman, Scheherazade, who brings provisions then has sex with him. She tells him about a boy she was in love with in high school, and how she would break into his house. She starts re-enacting the break-ins, which further enhances their passion. At the end of the story, Habara anxiously awaits her next break-in and the continuing account of her youthful affair. "Tortured love affairs [?] are nothing new to Murakami''s vast store of plotlines." ?The New York TimesSleep: A housewife has not slept for many days, but her family doesn''t notice. She stays up all night reading Anna Karenina and sees her surroundings through new eyes. Her sleeplessness provides freedom from a monotonous life looking after her husband and son. "A brilliant story that uses the liminality of the night to evoke the unease of being a woman in a patriarchal society." ?The GuardianThese graphic novel versions of Murakami''s classic stories will be devoured by his fans and will provide a new window onto his work for readers not yet familiar with it!*This volume is shrink-wrapped and recommended for readers ages 18+ due to mature themes and graphic content.*

A nő, aki eladta Van Goghot - A világ első női műkincskereskedőjének lenyűgöző története
Van Gogh munkásságát milliók ismerik világszerte, festményeinek egyedi stílusa és mély üzenete művészek generációira hat a mai napig. Vincentről, az emberről azonban - néhány ismert részletet leszámítva - már jóval kevesebbet tudunk. Alig esik szó arról, hogy életében kevesen ismerték a párizsi művészvilágon kívül, és hogy az alkotáshoz szükséges feltételeket öccse, Theo van Gogh teremtette meg számára, ahogy a Montmartre környéki kávéházakban eltöltött hosszú éjszakáit is ő finanszírozta. A holland festőművész azonban fiatalon és nincstelenül halt meg, és testvére is csak pár hónnappal élte túl.
Hogy akkor mi - vagy inkább ki - volt a hiányzó láncszem a történetben? Ki tette világhírűvé Vincentet? Johanna van Gogh-Bonger volt az, Theo hitvese, Vincent sógornője. De vajon hogyan volt képes egy fiatal nő, aki a kor szigorú erkölcseinek megfelelő neveltetésben részesült, elérni, hogy a különc Vincent a világ egyik legismertebb művésze legyen?
A hazám és az otthonom - Magyarország egy francia szemüvegén át
A huszonkét éves francia fiatalembert telefonon felhívják, hogy korábban elutasított ösztöndíjkérelmét egy váratlanul felszabaduló hely miatt mégis elfogadják, ha azonnal igent mond. Egy számára ismeretlen városba, Pécsre mehetne tanítani. Magyarországi élménye van már, mert előző évben egy hetet átbulizott a "Tzigeten", a szülei lakásában található bélyegnyi méretű térképen pedig azt látja, Budapest mellett még egy város, Pécs neve szerepel. Igent mond. Még nem tudja, de a jövőjéről, a sorsáról dönt.
Több, mint két évtized telt el, az immár középkorú "fiatalember" azóta is Pécsett él. Élete első felét otthon töltötte, másik felét immár itthon. És most megírja ezt a második felét magyarul (!) majdani unokáinak - és nekünk, magyar honfitársainak, hogyan lát ő bennünket. Miközben megéljük, milyen ostobák, érthetetlenek, kaotikusak, elviselhetetlenek, ugyanakkor rafináltak, szellemesek, tán még szeretni valóak is vagyunk, nevetünk, megdöbbenünk, elcsodálkozunk, és szétárad bennünk a jóleső, ismerős érzés: ennek a francia-magyar embertársunknak örkényi tótágast sem kell állnia ahhoz, hogy groteszk módon lásson és elfogadjon bennünket és köztünk önmagát.
Bérczes László
"Annyi mindent láttam egzotikusnak akkor. Végre megtudhattam, milyen lehetett a hetvenes évek esztétikája. Minden úgy nézett ki, mint a szüleim régi fényképeinek háttere: a buszok, a bútorok, a bajuszok, a büfék. A szokatlant hamar kiegészítette a bizarr: a vonalkódos matrica a kenyéren, a magyarok gálánssága (de, de), meg az, hogy egy pincér simán elküldhet egy vendéget a fenébe, ha olyan kedve van. Mókás volt, hogy See ya-t mondanak az emberek, ha találkoznak, és Helló-t, ha elköszönnek egymástól."
"Szerettem, hogy az emberek nem házibulikban gyűlnek össze, hanem kocsmákban, mert még elérhető áron van a sör. Nem úgy, mint otthon.
Szerettem, hogy az emberek a szemembe néznek az utcán.
Szerettem, hogy jóval kevesebb itt a tabu, mint nálunk."
