Sayuri - Teljes gyűjtemény


Megbocsáthatatlan bűnök, egy eltörölhetetlen átok és egy ártatlan család... A héttagú Kamiki-család hosszas kutakodás után végre rálelt álmai otthonára. Hamar be is költöznek a gyönyörű, tágas, domb tetején álló házba, ám nem sok idejük marad kiélvezni a megtalált nyugalmat. Rejtélyes, megmagyarázhatatlan éjszakai zajok riogatják, borzalmas rémálmok gyötrik őket, és a rettenet megfoghatatlan érzése teszi pokollá napjaikat, ahogy rádöbbennek: rajtuk kívül van még valaki (vagy valami) az otthonukban. A sötét, kíméletlen jelenlét ereje napról napra fokozódik, a családnak pedig nem marad más választása - ha életben akarnak maradni, fel kell venniük a harcot a gonosz entitással, amíg még nem késő. A páratlan zseni, Oshikiri Rensuke félelmetes horrormangájában végre eredeti, japán kísértettörténetet élvezhetnek a magyar olvasók. Gyűjteményes kiadás extra fejezettel!

Tarantula


Winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger in France and the Premio de la Critica in SpainConversation-starting and prize-winning international fiction: an extraordinary meditation on violence, conspiracy and the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust 'Audacious' Observer'Provocative' Times Literary Supplement'Extraordinary' Olivia LaingEduardo and his brother have been living in the US for three years when their parents send them back to Guatemala for the holidays. It is 1984 and their native country, in the midst of a violent civil war, feels newly alien to them – their Spanish faltering, already half-forgotten. Their grandfather collects the boys from the airport and drives them into the mountains, depositing them at what they’re told is a Jewish summer camp. At the camp, the children meet a counsellor called Samuel Blum: a handsome young man with sky-blue eyes who knows about all kinds of things. He shows them how to make a survival shelter out of branches and leaves, and how to kindle a fire using a glass bottle. He sings songs with them and plays games. But he also trains them to march in rank, and salute, and dive for cover. He teaches them the Hebrew words for ‘grenade’ and ‘soldier’ and ‘silence’. On the fourth day, everything changes. The boys are shaken from their beds at dawn. A terrifying figure, uniformed in black, looms over them, and beyond him is the sound of screaming outside. Eduardo looks into the stranger’s face – it is Samuel Blum, but his sky-blue eyes look different now. In his hand he carries a club. Crawling down his left arm is a huge tarantula. Thought-provoking and powerfully ambivalent, Tarantula is an extraordinary meditation on the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust. It is a novel about individual and collective inheritance, individual and collective violence; about memory, trauma, connection and estrangement. It asks what it means to be a Jew in the long wake of the twentieth century, and how the past lives on in the present.

The Debt To Pleasure


Winner of the Whitbread First Novel Award 1996. To like something is to want to ingest it and, in that sense, is to submit to the world; to like something is to succumb, in a small but contentful way, to death. Tarquin Winot – hedonist, food obsessive, ironist and snob – travels a circuitous route from the Hotel Splendide in Portsmouth to his cottage in Provence. Along the way he tells the story of his childhood and beyond through a series of delectable menus, organized by season. But this is no ordinary cookbook, and as we are drawn into Tarquin’s world, a far more sinister mission slowly reveals itself . . . John Lanchester’s The Debt to Pleasure is a wickedly funny ode to food; an erotic and sensual culinary journey. Its elegant, intelligent and unhinged narrator is nothing less than a work of art himself. Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
