Seven Signs of the Lion
¥90.03
The novel Seven Signs of the Lion is a magical journey to the city of Lviv in Western Ukraine. Part magical realism, part travelogue, part adventure novel, and part love story, it is a fragmented, hybrid work about a mysterious and mythical place. The hero of the novel Nicholas Bilanchuk is a gatherer of living souls, the unique individuals he meets over the course of his five-month stay in his ancestral homeland. These include the enigmatic Mr. Viktor, who, with one eye that always glimmers, in a dream summons him across the Atlantic Ocean to the city of lions, becoming his spiritual mentor; the genius mathematician Professor Potojbichny (a man of science with a mystical bent and whose name means “man from the other side”); the exquisite beauty Ada, whose name suggests “woman from Hades” in Ukrainian, whose being emanates irresistible sensuality, but who never lets anyone capture her beauty in a picture; the schizophrenic artist Ivan the Ghostseer, who lives in a bohemian hovel of a basement apartment and in an alcohol-induced trance paints the spirits of the city that torment him; and the curly-haired elfin Raya, whose name suggests “paradise” in Ukrainian and who becomes the primary guide and companion for Nicholas on his journey to self-realization. The hero is summoned to the land of his ancestors to find the “seven signs of the lion” in a mysterious quest. The multicultural and unique architectural aspects of the “city of lions” with its medieval old town dating back several centuries is showcased. Part cultural history, the novel deals with the legends and myths surrounding the city and its environs. Anglophone readers will be introduced to a country, a people and a culture that largely remain undiscovered for them.

Fairy Stories and Fables
¥28.29
The longer stories in this book are called Fairy Stories, because that is the name by which such tales are always known to children; and yet only a very few contain any direct reference to fairies. The most of them have to do with talking animals and with strange incidents and transformations such as have always delighted the childish fancy. They have been drawn from a variety of sources; and liberty has been taken to make such changes in the narratives as seemed most necessary to adapt them to the understanding and needs of the children of our own time and country. ??Free renderings, they may be called, of some of the most popular folktales of foreign lands. The Three Bears, Tom Thumb, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Tom Tit Tot are old English favorites dressed in modern garb; Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, Princet and the Golden Blackbird, and Drakesbill and his Friends are variants of the well-known French versions by Perrault, Marelles, and Sebillot; Little Tuppen and The Three Goats named Bruse are from Norwegian sources; and the rest are founded upon German originals. In the retelling of these tales care has been taken to avoid whatever might distress the most sensitive child as well as everything that could give a wrong bias to his moral nature or distort his perception of the beautiful and the true.

Milyen lenne egy regénye, ha Rejt? Jen? napjainkban írná meg? Talán ilyen: Csodálatos dolog egy ?r?kség! F?leg akkor, ha van kinek átadni. De ha nincs, az sem baj. Egy tévútra tévedt magánnyomozó, és egy nyugdíjazás címén félreállított detektív csatasorba áll az ?r?k?s felkutatásával megbízott lelkes ifjú titánnal, hogy végül - egy észbontóan észbontó n?vel kiegészülve - gy?kerestül felforgassák a világ ellen sz?vetkez? b?n?s elemek életét. K?nyvünk h?sei - vérfarkas és vámpír rokonok híján - súlyosan sebezhet?k, legyen szó akár szerelemr?l, akár egyszer? ólomgolyókról, nem laknak koporsóban, és a napvilágnál sem porladnak el hideglel?s sikoltozás k?zepette. Jól bánnak a szavakkal, tudnak kávézaccból jósolni, és kis szerencsével bármit képesek túlélni, ami nem halálos. Figyelem! A k?nyv klasszikusokat is feldolgozó író tollából került ki, ezért nyomokban mondanivalót is tartalmazhat. Kizárólag olvasni tudóknak!

Acestea-s cuvintele, Petra. Am aternut copertele peste ele, lsndu-le s se limpezeasc. Timpul trecea, cartea nu-mi mai ncpea n trup. ntr-o zi, mi plimbam ochii peste literele ei. Dup aceea, am rspuns ctorva e-mailuri. Printre tirile care nsoesc n mod obinuit o csu electronic, mi-a atras atenia una. Plasa pianjenului se lsa peste mine, dar cui s-i strig mirarea i bucuria mea Eram singur i ngheat, n biroul pustiu. Atunci, m-am repezit s-i atern aceste nimicuri despre Shaun Higgins, specialistul ce a reuit s rezolve misterul insulei-fantom din Pacific. Aprea pe mai toate hrile, dar nu a fost gsit de cercettorii care au plecat s o caute cu vreo lun n urm. Din 1876 s-a strecurat eroarea. Atunci, comandantul balenierei Velocity a raportat n jurnal o serie de stnci mari i nite insulie de nisip, marcnd poriunea de pmnt pe o hart. Informaiile lui au tot fost copiate i recopiate, postulnd drept insul un probabil i posibil recif. Cineva din lumea aceasta, cu un veac n urm, s-a mai gndit la Plasterca. i dai seama ce lucru minunat i s-ar putea ca lumea despre care am zis odat c nu am gsit-o, aceea ce spuneam c i se cuvine, alturi de aceast carte care abia mai ncape n colivie, s se afle undeva, pe-aproape.“ – Clin Torsan

1791 októberében Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart azt mondta a feleségének, hogy megmérgezték. Másfél hónap múlva már nem volt az él?k sorában. N?vére, a szintén zongoravirtuózként indult Nannerl sógorn?jét?l értesül a fájdalmas hírr?l, és nyomban Bécsbe indul, de nem csak a temetésre. Elt?kéli, hogy kideríti az igazságot, és megtudja, valóban gyilkosság áldozata lett-e Mozart, és vajon kinek állt útjában. Bécs veszélyes városnak bizonyul: Nannerl s?tét titkokkal, ?sszeesküvésekkel, a császári udvarban zajló intrikákkal szembesül, a szabadk?m?vesek rejtélyes ?sszej?vetelein találja magát, mik?zben életében el?sz?r átéli az igaz szerelmet. ?s mindennek k?zpontjában Mozart utolsó operája, A varázsfuvola áll. Az olvasó a korabeli Bécs arisztokrata szalonjainak és hangversenytermeinek nyüzsg? világát láthatja mintegy függ?ny m?gül, mik?zben fel-felcsendül Mozart halhatatlan zenéje, és fény derül a sz?rny? titokra.

Amikor Vicky Firenzébe érkezik, hogy olaszul tanuljon és megmerítkezzen az ottani kultúrában, nem számít arra, hogy eltalálja ?mor nyila. A szerelem a jókép? és sármos, ám kissé rusztikus modorú talján séf, Gianfranco személyében érkezik. Gianfranco éttermében Vicky megismerkedik a toszkán konyham?vészettel is. Hétvégén a szerelmespár autóba pattan és felfedezi Toszkána gy?ny?r? tájait és a hegyekben megbújó k?zépkori városkákat. A színes leírásokban b?velked? gasztromemoár becsempészi az olvasót Toszkána, Umbria, Elba és Perugia romantikus éttermeinek és bárjainak színfalai m?gé. Remek olasz receptek szakítják meg hébe-hóba a sz?veget, mely nincs híján humornak, szerelemnek és szerelmi csalódásnak. ?Toszkán mese szerelemr?l és ételekr?l” – az alcím magáért beszél, de mesénél t?bbet kapunk: az írón? ironikus és olykor lírai stílusa igazi olvasási élményt is nyújt.

Fic?iunea a fost blând? cu mine: mi-a ar?tat cum traversau ora?ele crupe de dame, pe când boschetarii dormeau, mi-a ar?tat cum un om poate s? fie luat din genunchi ?i a?ezat într-un pat de femeie, a?ezat acolo ca un semn de întrebare. ?i tot ea mi-a ar?tat ce r?mâne când secunda se termin? ?i cum se poate racorda timpul la ritmul b?t?ilor inimii unei necunoscute dup? o criz? de astm, ?i cum s? supravie?uiesc tr?ind singur ca un Dumnezeu bolnav, ?i cum se pot ridica scriitorii, ca ni?te duhuri, din ma?inile lor de scris – în vremea vi?eilor de aur. În povestiri am d?râmat temple, aici am fost înjunghiat la o r?scruce de t?ceri, aici am fost cel mai bun. Toate aceste texte m-au vindecat atât cât puteam fi vindecat de mine însumi. Andrei Cr?ciun

Dup D. Cantemir, a doua mare personalitate a literaturii romne este fr ndoial I. Eliade Rdulescu, scriitor cu suflet ardent, creator pretutindeni, desfurat deopotriv n via i n art, nzestrat cu mari nsuiri i cu tot att de mari cusururi. […] Eliade e un mistic la modul dantesc, cu uriae viziuni profetice. Anatolida sau Omul i forele ar fi fost adevrata biblic, poemul n 20 de cnturi al omului, de la creaie pn la victoria asupra Forei, amestec de soteriologie i program social, soluiunea n veac a problemei sociale fiind totdeodat cheia mntuirii spiritului, a cetii eterne.“ – George Clinescu, Istoria literaturii romne de la origini pn n prezent

Mi s-a cerut o biografie, dar dac? citi?i cartea ve?i avea parte de una. Mai bine v? spun pe scurt povestea c?r?ii, care n-a fost carte de la început. Au fost zilele ?i nop?ile mele, a?a cum le-am tr?it eu ?i-ai mei. Printre sârme ?i portocali. A fost o perioad? în care a? fi vrut s? uit unele întâmpl?ri, apoi am în?eles c? nu le voi putea ?terge din amintire ?i c? de fapt nici nu vreau. Le-am povestit, la început cu îndoiala c? cineva ar în?elege impactul pe care le-au avut pentru noi, apoi cu mirarea c? pe cineva intereseaz? aceast? poveste. M-au uimit reac?iile, am început s? scormonesc în memorie ?i m-am trezit scriind ceva despre care n-am crezut c? va fi o carte. Va fi, totu?i, va avea coper?i frumoase ?i câteva file din care, dac? le ve?i citi, ve?i ?ti c? sârmele aveau ghimpi, iar portocalii erau plini de culoare ?i parfum. În carte apare familia mea ?i vreau s? le mul?umesc pentru îng?duin?a de-a folosi amintirile lor în cuprinsul acestor pagini.
