The Incomplete Amorist
￥8.82
A gentle tale of romance and art from a noted children's author . . . "He asked idle questions: she answered them with a conscientious tremulous truthfulness that showed to him as the most finished art. Betty told him nervously and in words ill-chosen everything that he asked to know, but all the while the undercurrent of questions rang strong within her -- 'When is he to teach me? Where? How?' -- so that when at last there was left but the bare fifteen minutes needed to get one home in time for the midday dinner she said abruptly: 'And when shall I see you again?'
The Settling Earth

Marriage transplants Sarah thousands of miles from home; a failed love affair forces Phoebe to make drastic choices in a new environment; a sudden, shocking discovery brings Mrs Ellis to reconsider her life as an emigrant - The Settling Earth is a collection of ten interlinked stories, focusing on the British settler experience in colonial New Zealand, and the settlers' attempts to make sense of life in a strange new land.? Sacrifices, conflict, a growing love for the landscape, a recognition of the succour offered by New Zealand to Maori and settler communities - these are themes explored in the book. The final story in the collection, written by Shelly Davies of the Ngātiwai tribe, adds a Maori perspective to the experience of British settlement in their land.

Rhythms: A speculative short story collection
￥23.14
The rhythm of life is everywhere. It is in the shared and natural experience of our heartbeats and the high and low tides of our oceans. The turning of our planet brings the rhythm of its seasons. Orbits of distant moons and planets within a multitude of galaxies intertwine and create waves of rhythms that have impacts we do not consciously acknowledge. In the same way, every decision one makes creates a new blip in the rhythm of that life, and in turn, in the rhythms of many lives. This collection of seven speculative fiction stories explores the rhythms of life both external and internal on our planet and in other places in the universe. From identifying a single individual’s challenges with identity to that of a supernatural being whose sole purpose is to embed its soul into the experiences of all people, each story asks you to question what you see, who you are, and how to think outside of your personal experience. If you are able to adapt to a new rhythm, you will be given a chance to do more than survive. You will find a way to thrive. Included titles: “Alienation” “Identity Crisis” “The Conscript” “Pop!” “The Payment” “The Vow” “The Beckoning”

Однако, когда она приходит к часовщику, то понимает, что выиграла особый приз: шанс снова прожить один час из ее жизни.

Сможет ли Марае исправить ошибку, о которой она жалеет больше всего на свете? --Ask how you can win an hour in time— Marae O’Conaire has much bigger problems than the fact her watch stopped at 3:57 p.m. When she brings her watch to a kindly repairman, she learns she has won a peculiar prize, a chance to re-live a single hour of her life. But Fate has strict rules about how one can go poking in the past, including the warning that she can’t do anything that would create a time-paradox.

El Califato: una novela de suspenso post-apocalíptica: (Edición espa?ola)
￥32.62
Eisa McCarthy, de dieciséis a?os,vive en la Ciudad del Califato, la cual está bajo el control del grupo radical islámico de los Ghuraba. Siete a?os atrás, el general Mohammad bin-Rasulullah derrotó a Estados Unidos mediante una despiadada traición y estableció su Califato mundial en las ruinas de Washington, D.C. El líder supremo de los Ghuraba, el Abu al-Ghuraba, afirma que el padre de Eisa le dio el control del arsenal nuclear de los EE.UU., una afirmación reforzada por las cenizas ardientes de muchas ciudades y el testimonio de su madre siria. Sin embargo, después de que su madre es acusada de apostasía, Eisa se entera de que su padre puede no ser el "mártir" que los Ghuraba afirman. ?Realmente poseen los Ghuraba los códigos de lanzamiento de los misiles balísticos intercontinentales (ICBM)? ?Los "bloqueó" su padre, tal como el Coronel Everhart, el comandante del grupo rebelde, quiere que ella le diga al mundo? Si Eisa lucha, los Ghuraba matarán a su peque?a hermana, pero si no lo hace, eventualmente el grupo hackeará el sistema y lanzará los misiles. Todo lo que Eisa tiene es un rosario de oración musulmán y un mito preislámico que su padre le relató la noche que desapareció. El destino del mundo y la vida de su hermana peque?a, cuelgan en una balanza, mientras Eisa busca la verdad entre un mito antiguo, su fe musulmana y lo que realmente ocurrió la noche que los Ghuraba tomaron el control."El paralelismo que la autora describe entre el paisaje actual en Siria e Irak y un futuro Estados Unidos es inquietante, ya que retrata las atrocidades actuales con una precisión inquebrantable..." —Dale Amidei, La Trilogía de Jon

Uncommon Pet Tales
￥24.44
Fifteen short stories involving pets. But don’t think for a moment that you’ll “See Spot Run”, or that Lassie will save her master who’s fallen in the well. Those are common pet tales, and these are Uncommon Pet Tales. Within this collection, you’ll find a little bit of romance, a little bit of revenge, a few ghosts, and some fantasy and magic. You’ll find some uncommon pets such as Katelynn, and Mr. MacCawber, and you’ll find some uncommon stories, such as Patience, and Schrodinger’s Other Cat. You’ll find stories of man’s (or woman’s) best friend, and stories where the animals are far from friendly. And you'll find some stories that simply refuse to fit into a category. As always, each story in the Read on the Run series of anthologies is short, to suit your busy lifestyle.?

Multiple Personalities
￥90.03
Having spent years in a coma, a female protagonist is anxious to lead a normal life. Her miraculous recovery is riddled with falling in and out of our time continuum - she wanders through history in her imagination as if it were her backyard. Notwithstanding her condition, her peers are going through a real change of their own echoing events that engulfed Russia in the past few decades. In Multiple Personalities, life is a masquerade and its participants are characters from classic world literature racing towards destination unknown. The question they all are asking is whether the traditional notion of time's flow from the past to the future is the correct one. Who has the answer?
The Exile:A novel about Taras Shevchenko
￥90.03
Zinaida Tulub’s novel The Exile is one of the most brilliant works in the canon of fiction about Taras Shevchenko, the outstanding Ukrainian poet and artist. The idea of writing about Taras Shevchenko first occurred to her when she was in her thirties, during a period spent living in exile in Kazakhstan (1947-1956). Initially, Tulub worked on the screenplay for a film called Kobzar and Yakin, which can be seen as an early prototype for the novel. She was only able to start work on the latter after her return to Kiev in 1956, when she was granted access to archival material and memoirs. She completed the novel in 1962. Tulub’s primary goal in the novel was to celebrate Taras Shevchenko’s indomitable will and his burning desire to fight for the liberation of the nation, even when he was in exile. Armed with a wealth of detailed biographical information about Shevchenko, Zinaida Tulub created a thrilling portrait of the poet that is both historically accurate and artistically convincing. Depicting the first period of Shevchenko’s exile in a detailed, comprehensive manner, Zinaida Tulub adheres strictly to the historical timeline, tracing step by step the path that fate had in store for the exiled poet. She doesn’t leave out a single detail from Shevchenko’s life, adding light and shade to every important moment or turning point along that treacherous path.
The Tale of Aypi
￥90.03
The Tale of Aypi follows the fate of a group of Turkmen fishermen dwelling on the coast of the Caspian Sea. The fear of losing their ancestral home looms over the entire village. This injustice is being made to look like a voluntary initiative on the part of the fishermen themselves, whilst the ruling powers cynically attempt to confiscate their land. One brave fisherman from the village rises up to confront them and fights for his native shore, as a response to an act of cruelty inflicted on a defenceless young woman centuries ago. This unjustly executed soul returns as a ghost during this troubled time to exact a terrible revenge on the men of the village. The relationships among the characters mirror the eternal opposition between the forces of nature, with the intervention of mystical forces ratcheting up the tension. This title has been realised by a team of the following dedicated professionals: Translated by W.M. Coulson, Maxim Hodak - Максим Ходак (Publisher), Max Mendor - Макс Мендор (Director), Ksenia Papazova.
