Wolverine: Weapon X
Explore the Stories Behind the LegendsNaked, bloody, and screaming in pain - this is the Wolverine that faced readers in the story arc Weapon X. This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged fans’ expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel’s most brutal and beautiful comic. In 1991, when Weapon X was first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel’s most popular super heroes. For Weapon X, creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a cyberpunk horror story. A shadowy organization abducts Wolverine in order to create “the ultimate killing machine,” and we are plunged into a story of basic, animalistic survival. As Wolverine endures more and more trauma, the lines between reality and consciousness disappear. Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary storyline, Jim Rugg’s entry in The Marvel Age of Comics takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel’s most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.

Hal Foster’s Tarzan
In 1928 commercial artist Hal Foster took a job to turn Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel Tarzan of the Apes into a 60-installment black and white newspaper comic. Initially, no American papers wanted it, so it premiered in England, to great acclaim. When U.S. papers picked it up and wanted more, Foster wasn't interested. It was only in 1931, with the Great Depression threatening his family with starvation, that he consented to take it on as a full color, full page Sunday comic, still calling the low-paid job "a bit of pottage."That bit of pottage fed him for the next seven years, as Tarzan became the first adventure comic, and one of the most beloved Sunday strips in America. Though newspapers complained about the violence (Burroughs countered that Tarzan's success was the result of a "human weakness for gory and gruesome situations") and the incessant nudity (the writer's script notes asked for "a great deal of female nakedness") readers found Tarzan's adventures with ancient Egyptians, modern criminals, Vikings, dinosaurs, killer apes, and a slew of provocative queens and princesses mesmerizing, right up until Foster handed off the strip to Burne Hogarth in mid-1937.Produced from original newspapers, preserving the color and texture of the Ben Day dot coloring process distinctive to vintage comics, Hal Foster's Tarzan carries you back to Sunday morning, belly-down on the living room rug, "funnies" spread before you, lost in a world of exotic adventure while mom whips up your own bowl of oatmeal pottage.Tarzan Hal Foster newspaper strips + ERB, Inc.

Sodom and Gomorrah
'the metamorphosis of Monsieur de Charlus into a new person was so complete that... everything which had appeared incoherent to me until then, was becoming intelligible, and self-evident'The fourth volume of Proust's In Search of Lost Time extends the protagonist's journey of discovery into the social world of fin-de-siecle France. As the biblically inflected title, Sodom and Gomorrah, suggests, however, this world has taken on a new colouring. Through a succession of observations--both voyeuristic and overt--Proust's protagonist encounters and begins to appreciate the great diversity of sexual identities and proclivities that underpin human relations. At the heart of this volume that buzzes with chatter, gossip, and position-taking, is the Baron de Charlus, whose relationship with the working-class Charlie Morel is a central preoccupation of the narrative. This volume lays bare the ways in which ambitions and desires are nurtured, projected, masked, and exposed. Suffering, in love, is rarely far away. Sodom and Gomorrah explores frictions between the social classes via the Verdurins' upward climb and the ways in which the impulses of desire can cut across society's arbitrary boundaries. The narrator recounts his retrospective devastation at the death of his grandmother, and while his connection to Albertine deepens, it is his uncertainty about the true nature of her sexual identity that binds him closer to her, leading to a fraught denouement that paves the way for the next, fateful phase of their relationship. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Az utolsó hívás - Dzsian telefonfülkéje
Mi lenne, ha egyetlen telefonhívás elegendő lenne ahhoz, hogy választ kapjunk a legfájóbb kérdéseinkre? Egy pszichológiai boncolásokat végző központban azok történetei találkoznak, akik egy szeretett személy öngyilkossága után maradtak magukra, és tele vannak bűntudattal, haraggal és megválaszolatlan kérdésekkel. A központ közelében álló, elhagyatott telefonfülke különös titkot rejt: aki belép oda, és leemeli a kagylót, meghallgathatja elhunyt rokona, szerelme utolsó gondolatait.
Kang Dzsian, a központ vezetője, saját vesztesége - édesapja halála - miatt nap mint nap felkeresi a fülkét, abban a reményben, hogy még egyszer hallhatja a hangját. Amikor felismeri, milyen mély hatással vannak ezek az utolsó gondolatok az itt maradókra, úgy dönt, beépíti a fülkét a pszichológiai boncolás, a traumafeldolgozás, a gyógyítás és gyógyulás folyamatába. A cél nem a múlt megváltoztatása, hanem a megértés: annak feltárása, mi vezetett a tragédiához, és hogyan lehet együtt élni a következményekkel és az elveszített szerettünk hiányával.
Csillagösvényen
BÁN MÓR ezúttal egy izgalmas koncepcióra épülő, dupla novelláskötettel jelentkezik. A Göröngyös úton című kötetben a Hunyadi-sorozat szerzője ezúttal is a magyarok múltjának izgalmas fejezeteit tárja elénk, a Csillagösvényen pedig legkiválóbb sci-fi- elbeszéléseinek gyűjteménye.
Az emberiség jövőjét kutató írások hol a következő évszázadok társadalmának égető gondjaira reflektálnak, hol pedig a technikai fejlődés vívmányainak következményeit próbálják feltérképezni. A távoli galaxisok felfedezői, a jövőben válni készülő házaspárok, akik mindent el akarnak felejteni előző életükből, klónozott személyiségek egymáshoz fűződő, nem könnyen kibogozható viszonya, a távoli évszázadok majdan megvívott ütközeteinek hősei, a közeli jövő háborús tudósításainak forgatókönyvírói - csupán néhány figura és téma a kötetben szereplő elbeszélésekből.
A novellák között akad sokkolóan szókimondó, fordulatos, akár egy kalandregény, vagy éppen mélyen elgondolkodtató. Vajon jó irányba tartunk a jövőbe vezető úton?
Idézzük fel együtt a hosszú utat - a földrögből a csillagokig!
Souostroví Rusko ve válce proti Ukrajině

Jak válka intervenuje do vyjadřovacích prostředků umění, jak je proměňuje? Které jevy v kultuře, v kulturní politice a ve veřejném prostoru se v době války zdají být stěžejní, z čeho vycházejí, jak se projevují a kam směřují? Co vlastně znamená a co produkuje takzvaný ruský exil? Jaké strategie volí kulturní instituce a kremelský establishment? Na tyto a mnohé další otázky hledá odpovědi deset kapitol tohoto souboru faktů a úvah o válce a kultuře, psaných za války.
