Archipelago Vol. 1
Earth 2103 - A large part of the world is underwater. Global warming and the sudden acceleration of the melting of the poles have caused a sharp rise in sea level, in the form of Three Great Waves which arrived unexpectedly.

Those who managed to survive must operate in a new and fragmented society of scarce resources - a dark age in which new powers emerge, such as the North African League, ready to conquer the part of Europe left on the water. It is there that Jare, a young woman with hidden powers who lives in the Basque Archipelago, will find herself unexpectedly plunged into a world of dangerous intrigue that seeks to disrupt old balances and create new alliances.

Shorter Ulysses
A Shorter Ulysses was intended to serve as a companion volume to Burgess''s A Shorter Finnegans Wake, which he was commissioned to create in 1966. This is the first time that Burgess''s shortened version of James Joyce''s Ulysses has been published. Describing this commission in his autobiography, Burgess explains that he was asked to create a beginner''s abridged version of about 200 pages with a commentary to link the passages of Joyce''s original text and an explanatory preface. The surviving notes towards A Shorter Ulysses suggest that Burgess envisaged that A Shorter Ulysses would follow a similar format. The document was discovered in Burgess''s house in Bracciano, which was purchased in the early 1970s, and thus probably dates from this period. Also included in this volume is Burgess''s Introduction to Ulysses for a 1982 Book of the Month Club edition of the novel. In a brilliant essay opening the book, Burgess manages to convey in just under 3000 words the very essence of the work. His concluding words are: ''We are, having overcome its difficulties, at last free to appreciate its humour and humanity. Its early denouncers saw mostly filth and ugliness. We can hear its music and rejoice in its tolerance and decency and, yes, affection for fallen man''. Last, but certainly not least, this volume includes Blooms of Dublin, a musical play by Burgess, based on Ulysses. It was first broadcast on BBC radio and Radio Telefis Eireann in February 1982 to celebrate the hundredth birthday of James Joyce, and it was published for the first time in 1986. Burgess had begun developing the work as early as the mid 1960s and, according to him, a draft of the libretto and score had been completed as early as 1971. The draft score was subsequently converted by Burgess into a complete orchestral work in preparation for the radio broadcast. Burgess''s biographer and Director of the International Burgess Foundation, Andrew Biswell, provides a foreword to this fascinating volume.
Ďábel v detailu 1
Život Lauren Thomasové je plný špatných rozhodnutí a nešťastných odboček. Během toho přijde Lauren úplně o všechno – o úsměv, duši i životní lásku. Momentálně tedy hledá jakýkoli způsob, jak svému zlomenému srdci ulevit od bolesti. Východisko najde až u samotných bohů. Smlouva s bohyní touhy slibuje nadpozemské zážitky, ale jak Lauren časem zjistí, ani dohoda s nadpřirozenými bytostmi nemusí být tím nejlepším lékem. Příběh Stjepana Šejiće, tvůrce série SUNSTONE, vypráví o smolařích a bozích a o bouři, kterou může motýl způsobit jediným nevinným zatřepotáním křídel.
Exiles
James Joyce’s play Exiles follows the story of writer Richard Rowan, who, along with his 'common-law wife’ Bertha and their son Archie, has come home to Dublin after ten years away. The couple’s return triggers an existential questioning, an anxiousness which is exacerbated by meetings with old friends and lovers. All this is set against the background of the summer of 1912, when Ireland and even England were threatening to tear themselves apart over Ulster. Exiles is a profound exploration of jealousy, doubt and the complexity of human desire; it is also about the torments of disunion in both the public and private realm.
With a new introduction and notes by Andrew Gibson.

A Kárpát-medence 50 színes madara
Az ember régóta éles szemmel figyeli a madarakat; hiszen sokak vélekedése szerint a természet legkedvesebb gyermekei. Herman Ottó írja: "A madarak az anyatermészet legvonzóbb, a röpülés tulajdonságánál fogva irigylésre méltó lényei." Madarakkal erdőben, mezőn, folyók és tavak mentén, parkok fáin, bokrain találkozhatunk. Csodálattal nézzük kecses repülésüket, példát veszünk szorgoskodásukról, amint művészi fészküket megalkotják, és tojásaikat kiköltik. Bámulatba ejt bennünket, amint a fiókákat fáradhatatlanul etetik a szülők. A természetet kedvesen tölti be a madarak - sokszor messze hangzó - éneke. Az évről évre visszatérő vándormadarak - a gólyák, a fecskék - szülőhelyhez való ragaszkodása csodálatra méltó. A madarak kitartása a hosszú vándorút során mindenkiből elismerést vált ki.
A Kárpát-medence 50 színes madara című kiadvány a nagyközönség számára készült, célja, hogy gyönyörködtessen és segítse a környezetünkben élő madarak megismerését és felismerését. A kiadványban fellelhető ötven kép művészien, ugyanakkor valósághűen mutatja be azokat a színpompás madarakat, melyekkel kis szerencsével, türelemmel bármelyikünk találkozhat.
A képek mellett megtaláljuk a madarak rövid leírását is. Megtudhatjuk többek között az adott madár főbb jellemzőit: hol él, mivel táplálkozik, általában hány tojást rak, miként neveli fiókáit. Információt kapunk továbbá az egyes madarak szaknyelvi és népnyelvi neveinek eredetéről, valamint énekükről, hangjukról.
Bátran állíthatjuk, hogy a természetben nincs még egy olyan teremtés, amely a vele foglalkozónak olyan mélységes és bensőséges örömet tudna szerezni, mint a madár. Ezért is ajánljuk jó szívvel kiadványunkat minden madárkedvelőnek.
