The Ephemerata
In the wake of losing her husband of four decades, estrangement from her daughter, and a string of other deaths, Carol Tyler descended into grief. Being an artist by vocation, she transformed her grief in the only way she could - through artistic expression. Exploring realms metaphorical, half-imagined, and all-too real, she processes her loss and distress through dissociations and hard work alike and combines the two into a magnum opus of aching art. Tyler explores not just her grief, but our grief, and the idea of grieving in a work that is both painfully intimate and philosophically rich. An artistic advancement nearly forty years into Tyler''s comics-making career, The Ephemerata features Tyler''s most breathtaking picture making ever - fine, dense brush lines complemented with occasional colour washes or highlights - and formally stunning cartooning. Combining art and text in multiple ways - in the traditional comics panel grid, as words-and-illustration, as organically flowing images surrounded by floating text - she depicts the inner monologue of a fallible human being grappling with questions of profound relevance. Tyler''s memoirist skills also rise to the fore, excavating and colliding scenes from her history, delineating with sensitive intuition ways in which the inevitability of grief is built into our lives and our loves. To struggle in the face of loss is a universal experience. To turn it into this compassionate, deep and beautiful book takes a true artist.

Lovení Snárka
Lewis Carroll nejen že psal nadčasovým, neotřelým způsobem, jeho fantasknost až překvapivě trefně vyjadřuje dění našeho často nesrozumitelného světa. Domněnka, že něco je cosi, a pak se ukáže, že je to něco jiného, má souvislost se Snárkem a se čtením Carrolla samého. Dílo je u nás téměř neznámé, leč ve světě je po obou Alenkách třetím nejproslulejším. Snárk je metaforou všeho, po čem prahneme. Je tím, co mají společného úspěch, dokonalost, cíl, uspokojení, pochopení, prozření. Snárk je dosažení záměru, je to objev sám, život věčný. Uniká nám však, mění se pod rukama, až je to k polekání…
Áfonyaszedők
Az egyik család legnagyobb vesztesége. Egy másik legsötétebb titka. Mi lesz, ha kiderül az igazság? 1952 júliusában egy indián család érkezik Kanadából a Maine állambeli áfonyaföldekre idénymunkára. Pár héttel később a négyéves Ruthie-nak nyoma vész. Utoljára a hatéves bátyja, Joe látta, amint a mező szélén üldögél a kedvenc kövén. A fiút évekig marcangolja a bűntudat, amiért nem figyelt eléggé a húgára. Maine-ben egy Norma nevű kislány egy tehetős család egyetlen gyermekeként nő fel. Az apja távolságtartó, az anyja pedig idegesítően túlfélti. Norma furcsákat álmodik, bár valójában inkább mintha emlékeket látna. Ahogy felnő, ráébred, hogy a szülei valamit eltitkoltak előle. Valamit, ami az egész életét, a családját és az identitását is megkérdőjelezi. Amikor Norma évtizedekkel később elkezdi felkutatni a múltját és az emlékeit, az útja érzelmekkel és fájdalommal teli, ám lélegzetelállító bizonyítéka a szeretet megtartó erejének. (méltatások) Az Áfonyaszedők bensőséges történet arról, mekkora pusztítást végez egy családban egy gyermek eltűnése. Peters gyönyörűen írja le ezt egy többrétegű elbeszélésben arról, hogyan befolyásol egyetlen irracionális tett számtalan sorsot, még az elkövetőékét is. Ez egy csodálatosan megírt, érzelmekkel teli regény, lenyűgöző olvasmány egy új tehetség tollából. - Michelle Good

Or does Kid Maroon secretly yearn for what he’s never gotten to be … a kid?

Vo svete, ktorý je hluchý k bolesti a slepý k cnosti, musí čeliť poníženiu, neistote a existenčnému zápasu.

Tento duchovný a dojemný ľudský príbeh rozpráva o duši, ktorá sa rozhodne kráčať so zatvorenými očami – nie zo strachu, ale z dôvery a odovzdanosti Bohu.

Azért sem maradok csendben
"– Gondolom, az mindenkinek megvan, amikor valamelyik ismerősünk elmesél egy sztorit valakiről, aki valami olyan szörnyűséges dolgot művelt vele, hogy a végén csak annyit bírunk kinyögni: Ne már! És volt képe hozzá?... Ma este egy ilyen történetet mondok el nektek. És ennek minden szava igaz. Azt akarom, hogy hallgassátok meg figyelmesen, aztán menjetek, és adjátok tovább mindenkinek, de úgy, hogy a végén ők is úgy nézzenek rátok, ahogy ti ma este fogtok nézni rám, és mondják azt: Ne már! És volt képe hozzá? Utána pedig ők is meséljék el mindenkinek, akit csak ismernek. Így legenda lesz belőle. Példázat. Tanulság. Intő jel. Ne hagyjátok, hogy veletek is megessen, hogy nektek is át kelljen élnetek az Alex Lyons-élményt!"
Alex Lyons újságíró híres a kíméletlen, briliáns színikritikáiról. No meg arról, hogy bomlanak utána a nők, és ő ezt ki is használja. De mi történik akkor, ha legutolsó alkalmi partnere épp az a színésznő, akiről ő egy porig sújtó egycsillagos értékelést írt aznap délután? Mi történik, ha ez egyszer a nő nem hagyja szó nélkül a megaláztatást, és minden dühét a férfi lejáratására fordítja? Ha innentől kezdve egyszemélyes műsora átalakul a női erő megnyilvánulásává, és fergeteges sikert aratva hirdeti Alex Lyons gyarlóságait?
Charlotte Runcie regénye szórakoztató és izgalmas betekintést nyújt a művészeti, színházi világba, a színfalak mögött zajló intrikákba és dinamikákba. Miközben az első sorból nézhetjük végig valakinek a bukását, aki meg akarja mondani, hogy mások mit gondoljanak, arra is rá kell jönnünk, hogy a bosszú ugyan lehet édes, de ugyanakkor veszélyes is.
