Bliss
"Bliss" was Peter Carey's astonishing first novel, originally published in 1981 - a fast-moving extravaganza, both funny and gripping, about a man who, recovering from death, is convinced that he is in Hell. For the first time in his life, Harry Joy sees the world as it really is and takes up a notebook to explore and notate the true nature of the Underworld. As in his stories and some of his later novels, it is Peter Carey's achievement in "Bliss" to create a brilliant but totally believable fusion of ordinary experience with the crazier fantasies of the mind. This powerful and original novel is a love story about a man who misunderstands the world so totally that he almost gets it right.

Brochure parade 2
On the trail of success of the first volume, this second edition of “Brochure Parade” explores and celebrates the all Italian talent and creativity of immagining and creating “stories”, which developed in the best brochures we have selected among the numerous that we received. Our objective was to collect these in a single and ever original publication, renewed in its graphic design, yet, true to a style that has characterized and given way to this series.
Charlotte Gray
In 1942, Charlotte Gray, a young scottish woman, goes to Occupied France on a dual mission: to run an apparently simple errand for a British special operations group and to search for her lover, an English airman who has gone missing in action. In the small town of Lavaurette, Sebastian Faulks presents a microcosm of France and its agony in 'the black years'. Here is the full range of collaboration, from the tacit to the enthusiastic, as well as examples of extraordinary courage and altruism. Through the local resistance chief Julien, Charlotte meets his father, a Jewish painter whose inspiration has failed him. In a series of shocking narrative climaxes in which the full extent of French collusion in the Nazi holocaust is delineated, Faulks brings the story to a resolution of redemptive love. In the delicacy of its writing, the intimacy of its characterisation and its powerful narrative scenes of harrowing public events, Charlotte Gray" is a worthy successor to "Birdsong"."

Contemporary Urban Design
The architectural discipline of urban design falls into the broad category of landscape architecture and is applied as a social and esthetic means for interpreting the shape of cities and towns and their public spaces. The structure of a city is not the sum of its architectural shapes but the integration of these shapes into a specific and dynamic understanding of space. Public spaces become gathering points and recreational areas where neighbours can meet and contribute to socio-urban interaction. The presented projects in this book cover everything from new large neighbourhoods to the installation of street fixtures or the illumination of a small square.
Contemporary House Design
It is true, that our society is evolving at an increasingly rapid pace. Our way of life is changing along with our needs. In recent years the climate has been changing in a way that is perceptible for the first time in human existence. Therefore new building materials, groundbreaking techniques or a simple return to traditional forms of construction, together with carefully studied systems for saving energy and making the most of the resources afforded by nature, are conforming contemporary architecture.
Passive energy-saving systems, sustainable materials and the concept of designs made to last decades are reactions to the growing awareness about the environment from the local to the global viewpoint.This book is a demonstration of how today's houses are integrating all these elements.

Me Cheeta: The Autobiography
Kate Summerscale, Guardian (Book of the Year) 'Easily my favourite book of the year!funny scandalous and moving.' Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday (Books of the Year) 'It's the book everyone's talking about, a book that makes you gaffaw out loud.' Evening Standard (Books of the Year) 'A hilarious satire of memory and lore in Hollywood!Nabokovian, only hairier'.' Joseph O'Neill, Guardian 'Even though Cheeta has no morals or manners and gives an extravagantly unreliable account of himself, the personality that leaps from these pages remains a more plausible construction than those offered (in other celebrity memoirs). This unquestionably is the gold glinting in the cloacal slurry. Any celebs hoping to crack next year's Christmas market should take note: look upon the work of the guy with the hairy ears and saggy scarlet bottom and despair.' Independent on Sunday (Books of the Year) 'Undoubtedly the year's best not-a-memoir-at-all!It's hard to conceive of anyone who'd like a biography for Christmas who wouldn't like a copy of this truly, horribly funny book.' Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year) 'It is a lovely way to look at the history of Hollywood, and probably more truthful than most accounts.' Spectator 'The literary equivalent of Cheeta's own triple-back-flip-handclap-double-lip-flip-and-grin"...all of this delivered in glorious inventive prose. Whoever you are, I salute you!' Scotland on Sunday 'A hilarious book.' Sunday Times 'Me Cheeta may well be the finest Hollywood memoir ever written...right up there with the likes of David Niven.' Mail On Sunday 'Laugh-out-loud hilarious...also a moving tribute to the man who will forever be associated with the role of Tarzan.' Sunday Telegraph 'The most rollicking showbiz-memoir since David Niven's Bring on the Empty Horses...Me Cheeta is a satirical masterpiece.' Telegraph 'A unique, witty and magnificently bitchy Hollywood satire -- and oddly touching to boot.' Metro (Books of the Year) 'You'll not read a better evocation of celebritydom. The best celebrity memoir you'll read this year...a joyous satire on Hollywood's Golden Age.'Observer 'Admirably irreverent and iconoclastic.' Sunday Business Post 'What a memoir it is!' The Sunday Tribune 'Not many come as honest as this banana-munching, Tarzan-famed fella.' Zoo Magazine '!a lot better than a fictional autobiography of Hollywood chimpanzee ought to be!amusing.' Kate Saunders, The Times."
